After the brown-armored lizard escaped into the yellow sand, the desert suddenly returned to calm, as if nothing before had ever happened.
Xu Chunniang took back her white-barred gun, not being deceived by the calm appearance in front of her, and was carefully on guard against the brown-armored lizard that might appear at any time.
At this moment, the yellow sand beneath her feet suddenly moved!
It was the brown-armored lizard lurking under the yellow sand that suddenly launched an attack.
Xu Chunniang held the white-barred gun in her hand and struck it down hard. She used the force to jump up to avoid the blow.
Then he turned over in the air, turned the gun head downwards, and stabbed straight towards the brown armored lizard's head.
The brown-armored lizard missed the blow and was about to escape into the yellow sand again, but its head was completely penetrated by the white-steel gun, and it was nailed to the yellow sand.
From the brown-armored lizard's surprise attack to its counterattack, it all happened in a flash of lightning.
Xu Chunniang pulled out a white-stemmed gun and used the tip of the gun to cut open the body of the brown-armored lizard.
The brown-armored lizard is highly poisonous, but the gall in its body is a sacred antidote, and its effectiveness is comparable to the second-level detoxification elixir.
As for other parts of the brown lizard, they are all poisonous, so they can only be discarded reluctantly.
She used a white spear to pick out the gall and put it away, and then used a fireball to burn the body of the brown lizard.
After doing all this, Xu Chunniang got back on the road, three minutes faster than before.
After killing the brown lizard, she gained a deeper understanding of the crisis in the yellow sand desert and must leave here as soon as possible.
Xiaobai seemed to have noticed something. He lost his initial excitement and became silent, shrinking his body into a ball.
Xu Chunniang hurried on at full speed and simply put Xiaobai into the spirit beast bag.
She would avoid all kinds of monsters she encountered on the road if she could. Only those that she couldn't avoid would fight against them.
This area of the yellow sand desert is very barren, and there is no trace of any spiritual creatures. Killing these monsters is not only laborious, but the benefits are meager, and it is a complete waste of time.
After driving like this for five days, the mountains in the distance that looked like the horizon seemed much closer and no longer out of reach.
In the evening, it was getting dark.
Xu Chunniang noticed the change in the sky and frowned slightly.
The experience of the past few days told her that traveling at night is extremely dangerous.
Most of the monsters in the yellow sand desert are nocturnal, dormant during the day, and only come out at night to look for food.
Therefore, there are many times more monsters at night than during the day.
And in addition to monsters, the quicksand that can be seen everywhere in the yellow sand desert is also a murderous opportunity.
Quicksand looks just like ordinary yellow sand, but whether it is a monk or a monster, as long as it steps into the range of quicksand, it is easy to fall into it and be swallowed whole.
Although monks can see at night to a certain extent, the light at night is insufficient and has many limitations. Therefore, for safety reasons, Xu Chunniang did not choose to travel at night.
She looked around, ready to find a corner to rest, but suddenly she heard a slight "rustling" sound.
As the wind blew, the subtle "rustling" sound disappeared, as if it had never happened before.
Xu Chunniang did not relax her vigilance because of this, and turned to look in the direction where the sound first came from.
"Swish, swish."
That sound appears again!
And this time, it's clearer than before.
Xu Chunniang held a white-barred gun and looked calmly in the direction of the sound, ready to take action at any time.
But at this moment, the "rustling" sound disappeared again.
As the sound disappeared, an earthy figure broke out of the sand and bounced towards where Xu Chunniang was. It was a sand scorpion at the seventh level of Qi training!
The sand scorpion's tail stood up high, firing out a poisonous needle.
After the first sand scorpion broke out of the sand, the second and third sand scorpions soon appeared, and their cultivation level was not far different from the previous one.
Facing Sand Scorpion's attack of poisonous needles, Xu Chunniang's expression remained unchanged, and a small round shield appeared in front of her out of thin air, blocking all the poisonous needles.
At the same time, she stabbed rapidly with the white-rod gun in her hand, piercing the bodies of the three sand scorpions.
In the yellow sand desert, the sand scorpion is the most common thing. Xu Chunniang has encountered it several times in the past few days, so she is very comfortable in dealing with it.
However, after destroying the three sand scorpions, her face did not show any signs of relaxation, but instead became more solemn.
Judging from her experience in dealing with sand scorpions in the past few days, there is a nest of these things as soon as they appear, and there cannot be only three of them.
Sure enough, not long after, the "rustling" sound appeared again. It was very weak at first. As time went by, the sound became louder and faster.
In the end, almost the entire yellow sand desert was filled with this sound.
Xu Chunniang's expression changed slightly. The previous waves of sand scorpions she encountered were only a dozen or so at most, but the current wave of sand scorpions was probably more than a hundred.
There is probably a huge sand scorpion nest nearby.
This was indeed the case. Countless sand scorpions came out of the ground and crawled towards Xu Chunniang from several directions.
There are more than hundreds of sand scorpions, probably at least a thousand!
Behind these sand scorpions, there is a huge sand scorpion with a cold light in its eyes. It is the Scorpion King who has perfected his Qi practice.
Xu Chunniang's pupils shrank suddenly, she put away her white-barred gun without hesitation, and galloped towards the rear.
There were so many sand scorpions, even if she was allowed to kill them for three days and three nights, she would not be able to kill them all. Not to mention that the poisonous needles of these sand scorpions were elusive and difficult to defend against.
If you are surrounded by sand scorpions, you will probably be chewed to the point where no bones or scraps are left!
It was already dark. If it was normal, Xu Chunniang would never be galloping in the yellow sand desert. But at this time, she was being chased by thousands of sand scorpions, so she couldn't care less.
The sand scorpions were chasing closely. Under the double cover of yellow sand and night, they had a natural advantage.
Under the command of the Scorpion King, the sand scorpions that were originally fighting each other became uniform. The group of sand scorpions closest to Xu Chunniang raised their tails and fired their poisonous needles forward.
With so many sand scorpions launching an attack, hundreds of poisonous needles were immediately activated and fired towards Xu Chunniang from all directions.
Sensing the attack from behind, Xu Chunniang took out the blue pattern cauldron without hesitation and ducked into the cauldron.
I saw that all these poisonous needles hit the cauldron, and were perfectly blocked by the green patterned cauldron.
Then, she jumped out of the blue-patterned cauldron and continued running forward.
The inevitable blow was dodged by the cunning human monk. The Sand Scorpion King was enraged and raised his tail high, driving more Sand Scorpions to chase after him.
Xu Chunniang secretly complained that most of these sand scorpions were only at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training. Although their attack power was average, their speed was not slow.
In addition, there were a large number of them, and there was also a sand scorpion king who was practicing Qi Dzogchen, watching closely behind her. The situation was very unfavorable for her.
After all, in the yellow sand desert, in addition to the numerous sand scorpions, there are also ferocious beasts such as brown lizards, gerbils, and two-tailed snakes, as well as the ubiquitous deadly quicksand. Once you step into it, you are likely to die.
Not guaranteed.
If you continue to run away like this, you may attract other monsters or stray into the quicksand.
But if you don't escape, you will face thousands of endless sand scorpions.
Just as Xu Chunniang was running and thinking hard about countermeasures, her foot slipped and her body suddenly sank down.
