In the next few days, Yun Xi and Bai Qing took turns to keep vigil without going anywhere. After two encounters in the forest and in the river, they were already deeply aware of the dangers in this secret realm. Before their physical condition recovered,
Naturally, they don’t dare to take risks anymore.
Three days later, in the early morning, the sky was dark and Yun Xi opened her eyes.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Bai Qing, who was responsible for guarding the latter half of the night, saw that Yun Xi had gotten up earlier than the previous few days, and couldn't help but ask.
Yun Xi shook his head and said as he stood up: "Now that the situation has recovered, let's set out early and try to get out of this desert before it gets dark at night."
The danger in the desert is no less than that in the forest. If they fail to get out of the desert before dark, the danger they will face may increase exponentially.
Bai Qing thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with her plan, so she said, "Let's go then."
"Tie this on first."
Yun Xi pulled out the thorns that she had cut into strips. After making sure that they could not be pulled with just her hands, she handed one end to Bai Qing and tied the other end to her waist.
"Have you washed it?"
Bai Qing asked almost out of instinct.
"Didn't you see whether it was washed or not?" Yun Xi was speechless.
Bai Qing pouted and tied the thorn vine around his waist. Its hair was white and fluffy. Once the thorn vine was tied down, it was almost buried under the white hair. Bai Qing's nose moved.
“It tastes good!”
"It's not a disgusting smell. Don't you also smell like a fox?"
Bai Qing looked at the thorn vine. Although his body was obviously uncomfortable, he finally endured it. There was no other way. In order for both of them to live well, sometimes they still had to make concessions.
They walked in the direction of the chimney, and after crossing this small rest area, they completely entered the desert area.
At this time, the sky is not completely bright yet, and there is an occasional cool breeze blowing in the desert, which makes it a bit cold.
"I'll go ahead."
Bai Qing took the initiative and walked in front of Yun Xi. The thorns were not short, probably several meters long. With this distance, if Bai Qing accidentally fell into the yellow sand, Yun Xi would be able to stop immediately and save it.
Come out.
Yun Xi looked at the little fox walking forward step by step with its left and right feet, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth. It felt like... she was taking a fox pet shopping. However, no one in the world would dare to treat a snow fox as a pet.
People haven’t shown up yet, have they?
"I'm telling you, aren't you thinking about anything now?"
While Yun Xi was thinking wildly, Bai Qing suddenly turned around and looked at her.
"Ha...hahaha...look what you said, what will I think about?"
Yun Xi scratched her head and laughed awkwardly.
"Humph!"
Bai Qing hummed softly and continued walking forward.
After leaving for a while, Bai Qing asked again:
"What kind of monster do you think will appear in this desert?"
Yun Xi thought for a while: "Maybe it's a sand monster or something? When I was in the Buddha's secret realm before, I encountered snow monsters in a snowfield. These gods all exist in the secret realm.
After a long period of time, monsters cannot survive for such a long time inside, so the monsters here are basically non-biological monsters condensed based on spiritual power."
"The same is true for the thorn vines and seaweed we encountered before. Under normal circumstances, these things will not attack humans."
Bai Qing said: "What about Qiu Xin? Is he considered a biological monster?"
"..."
Yun Xi was silent for a moment: "I really don't know about this, but we didn't see him when we entered the secret realm. He should have entered the world in the tower, but at a lower level than us."
"Speaking of which, we haven't seen anyone else in the past few days. It seems that there are not many people or demons who can enter the Qiandu Layer from the beginning."
Bai Qing said: "After all, we have the inheritance of the Buddha. If we can't compare with others, then we can only blame the relationship between the senior Buddha and the senior demon."
"I suggest you say this directly in front of your seniors."
The two of them communicated while walking, and the occasional conversation could make both of them smile.
Their pace was not slow, and by the time it was completely bright, they had already walked a long way. The wind in the desert had also changed from cold to hot, and was mixed with some fine gravel.
When driving in such an environment, Bai Qing will inevitably get dusty no matter how careful he is.
Yun Xi put on the hat on the Huanxue clothes. Apart from anything else, this clothes can play a great role when her spiritual power is blocked. Warmth in winter and coolness in summer are indeed not just words.
But even though she didn't feel any heat, Yun Xi still felt a little dry.
With their spiritual veins sealed, not only were they unable to circulate the spiritual energy within their bodies, but they were also unable to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After a few days of not eating or drinking, their bodies felt somewhat hungry and thirsty.
‘It turns out that a spiritual person will have so many troubles after he can no longer use his spiritual power.’
Yun Xi sighed in her heart and continued walking towards the distance.
After walking for another ten minutes, they saw several large cacti appearing in front of them.
These cacti are several times larger than the ones Yun Xi remembered. They are not green, and it is obvious that they lack water.
Out of caution, Bai Qing and Yun Xi both took the initiative to avoid the cactus after seeing it, and did not approach it.
But as they went deeper, more and more cacti seemed to appear around them, and both of them vaguely realized that something was wrong.
Yun Xi thought about her previous encounters. Thorns and seaweed were all plants. So in this desert... the dangerous thing is not the quicksand, but these cacti?
When this judgment was born in her mind, Yun Xi subconsciously turned her head and looked back, and then she discovered that behind them, where there was originally only yellow sand on the ground, there was an inexplicable extra plant.
Cactus.
She was startled and immediately said to Bai Qing: "Bai Qing, leave quickly! There is something wrong with these cacti!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At this time, Bai Qing had also noticed something was wrong, but before they could take action, a force suddenly came from under Yun Xi's feet, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
Yun Xi made a quick decision, stepped hard on her feet, and then immediately dodged to the side.
Bang!!
The yellow sand exploded, and a huge cactus poked out from the ground. However, many of the spikes on the top of the cactus had signs of being broken. This was the result of Yun Xi's kick.
These cacti seem to be a little different from the previous thorns and seaweeds. Although they can come out of the sand, they cannot move freely. They just try to be distributed in all directions, intending to surround Yun Xi and Bai Qing.
Naturally, Yun Xi and Bai Qing would not let them trap them. They determined the direction of the breakout with one look and ran directly towards that direction.
簌!!
There was a sharp sound, like a sharp arrow piercing the sky. Yun Xi's eyes widened and he saw that a cactus next to him trembled slightly at this moment and shot out a cactus thorn!
"Damn! Can you still play like this?"
Yun Xi exclaimed while shrinking down to avoid the fairy thorn. Then he pulled the thorn vine directly. Bai Qing immediately understood, jumped towards Yun Xi, and got directly into her magic snow clothes.<
/p>
Yun Xi, who avoided the first shot, directly put on Huan Xueyi's hat, then took a step forward and started running wildly in the desert.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk!!!
With the opening of the first needle, the surrounding cacti seemed to have a switch turned on at this moment, firing out one after another like a machine gun. These fairy thorns flew towards Yun Xi overwhelmingly, frightening Yun Xi directly.
One curled up, and the whole person was huddled under the magic snow clothes.
The spikes hit the Huanxue Clothes. The clothes, woven from the hair of the Lingxue Fox, protected Yun Xi and Bai Qing very well at this moment. Yun Xi only felt that there was power coming from behind, but these
None of the spikes could penetrate Huanxue Yi and cause damage to her.
After the first round of shooting, Yun Xi seized the opportunity to stand up and run into the distance again.
Bai Qing climbed up from Yun Xi's back, poked his little head out from under Huan Xue's clothes, and looked behind him. Those cacti were obviously more lethal than the previous thorn vines and seaweeds, but they actually needed more flexibility.
A lot smaller than a big one.
For example, even when they saw Yun Xi running away, these cacti did not catch up directly. After the weapons fired a round of spikes, they seemed to have to briefly accumulate power before planning the next round.
At this moment, Bai Qing saw that these cacti, which had just shot out a series of spikes, were inflating again. When they swelled to a certain level, they suddenly suddenly disappeared.
Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk!!!
Immortal thorns are like a rain of needles all over the sky, rushing towards Yun Xi.
"Coming!"
When Bai Qing warned, she also shrank into Huan Xue Yi, and Yun Xi immediately squatted down and surrounded herself with Huan Xue Yi.
Groups of immortal thorns landed on the Huanxue Clothes, but none of them could penetrate the clothes. After Yun Xi experienced the second round of baptism, she stood up again and continued running into the distance.
While escaping, Yun Xi also gradually discovered that although the cacti behind her could not move and could not catch up, there seemed to be cacti buried everywhere in the desert. No matter which way she ran, many areas nearby would.
A few cacti popped out, and there was a burst of "tuk-tuk-tuk" towards her.
Yun Xi knew that if it weren't for the magic snow clothes protecting her, she would be dead in the desert now.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy tires, we run away.
While implementing this fighting method, Yun Xi and the cacti in the desert fought guerrilla warfare and ran towards the distance.
I don’t know how long I ran like this, but Yun Xi felt a little tired, so she couldn’t help but slow down and trot in the desert.
More cacti are still emerging tirelessly all around, and they are targeting Yun Xi's body, sending a sting towards her every few seconds.
Whenever this happens, Yun Xi will shrink up and hide under the protection of Huan Xue Yi. Although these cacti have many thorns, no matter how many rounds of attacks, they can't break through the protection of Huan Xue Yi.
It's not a matter of strength.
As a limited-production spiritual object within the Snow Fox Clan, Huan Xue Yi's strength is self-evident. Although Yun Xi and Bai Qing's spiritual veins are blocked and cannot consume spiritual power at this moment, Huan Xue Yi's spiritual energy is not exhausted. In such a strong wind
Under the attack of heavy rain, it became Yun Xi and Bai Qing's biggest support.
Yun Xi also wanted to imitate how in martial arts novels he could block all the flying props by waving his sword and rush out, but in reality this was actually impossible because the area that a sword could cover was too limited.
With the blessing of spiritual power, it is impossible for Yun Xi to swing his sword faster than the flying speed of these immortal thorns.
Bai Qing hid in Yun Xi's arms, thinking that it was not an option to continue the stalemate like this. If their speed was slowed down, they would always be surrounded by these cacti. When the time comes, they would be surrounded by needles, what should they do?<
/p>
It glanced at Yun Xi's nape and some parts of her back through Yun Xi's back collar, and found that there were many red marks on Yun Xi's body.
Huan Xueyi prevented the immortal thorns from piercing Yun Xi's body, but could not block the power of the immortal thorns. These immortal thorns were projected so fast, which shows that their power is extraordinary.
Yun Xi never said anything because she had been enduring this power. It was fine for a short time, but if it lasted for a long time, Yun Xi would probably collapse from exhaustion.
It frowned and was thinking about whether to activate its bloodline when a whistling sound suddenly came from the sky and the earth.
The whistling sound seemed to come from afar, getting closer and closer, like a ghost howling.
Yun Xi and Bai Qing raised their heads while the cactus were reloading, and looked in the direction where the whistling sound came from. There, the sky was filled with yellow sand, and a sandstorm hundreds of meters high swept over like a tsunami, sweeping away everything in its path.
Everything is swallowed up.
It was the first time for Yun Xi to see such a huge sandstorm with her own eyes.
"What is this?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Bai Qing, who had never seen a sandstorm before, stared at this scene blankly, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Yun Xi quickly scanned the surroundings and found that she couldn't find even a high stone in this ghost desert. Although it was her first time to encounter a sandstorm, she also knew that when encountering a sandstorm in the desert, she wanted to escape.
It's not possible to escape. You must find a bunker and squat down to protect your mouth and nose.
But where is the bunker now?
Yun Xi's eyes swept across the cacti group anxiously and landed on the boundless yellow sand. Suddenly, she paused and her eyes slowly fell back.
Who said... there are no bunkers in this desert.
Yun Xi hugged Bai Qing and ran directly towards a strong-looking cactus. As soon as she reached the cactus, she immediately raised her sword and cut off all the spikes facing her.
, and then squatted down with his back against the cactus.
"It's a sandstorm, don't move around, cover your mouth and nose, and don't let the sand flow into your body."
While she wrapped herself tightly in the magic snow suit, she quickly talked to Bai Qing about the current situation.
Only then did Bai Qing realize that this was the so-called sandstorm.
It huddled obediently in the small survival space built by Yun Xi, and couldn't help but sigh in its heart. It was unexpected that the first time in its life that it experienced a sandstorm was in this secret realm!
The arrival of the sandstorm had no effect on the cacti. They continued to attack Yun Xi. Along the way, many of the cacti shot fell on Huanxue Yi and hung among the fox furs.
Now Yun Xi's tightly curled up posture is like a hedgehog in danger, huddled up and exposing its sharp spines.
