In the sand, the corpse of a giant scorpion the size of a trailer spontaneously ignited without fire. The whole process was not instantaneous enough. The huge corpse had turned into black ash and was blown away by the wind when the dry sand blew.
"What's going on? This is the first time I've heard that after a demon is killed, it spontaneously ignites and burns its body!"
Li Kezhou was astonished.
"Huh? What is this?"
The spirit weasel jumped forward, grabbed something, and came back.
Li Kezhou took it, held it in his hand, and looked at it repeatedly.
This thing is about the size of the palm of your hand, and is all jade white, like a piece of porcelain. But if you look closely, it looks a bit like a badge. There are mysterious lines on it, which are obviously formed innately.
"What is this?"
Unable to see any clues, Li Kezhou tried to sense it with his spiritual sense, but in an instant, his face changed slightly. This invisible piece of jade actually contained an unheard of powerful power.
That kind of power is indeed, as Ling Weasel said, not the demon power of a demon cultivator, nor the sword energy of a human sword cultivator, but a strange power that has never been heard of before.
"First he self-immolated after death! Then he left this thing behind after self-immolation. It's really strange!"
It was the first time Li Kezhou encountered such a strange thing, and he couldn't think of a reason for it.
"There is someone in the desert!" Spirit Weasel suddenly said.
"Oh? There are other people in this place where no grass grows and no birds poop. How far are they from us now?"
The spirit weasel sensed it for a while and finally said: "About twenty miles away, there are two people and an object. The evil aura is very strong. The three of them seem to be staging a fight!"
"Let's go! Go and see what happens in this desert. Maybe you can meet the desert natives and ask what's going on!"
Li Kezhou used Ham Throwing, and the distance of twenty miles was only a matter of seconds.
At this time, somewhere in the desert.
Two people were fighting a sand scorpion the size of a car.
Among them was an old man whose cultivation was at the late stage of Dan Condensation judging from his sword energy. The other person was a young girl whose cultivation was at the early stage of Dan Condensation.
But at this moment, the condition of the two of them was obviously not very good, with many bruises on their bodies, and they looked like they were struggling to support themselves.
Suddenly! The sand scorpion's giant pincers were like flying stones, and the girl was immediately thrown away. At the same time, a horse poison stake was stabbed by lightning. The old man was caught off guard and was stabbed in the arm immediately.
The old man screamed miserably, but this man was determined to fight for his life by cutting off his arm in one round of the sword.
"I'll block this monster for a moment, miss, run away..."
The old man has a will to die in life.
The girl who was swept away got up with blood at the corner of her mouth. She glanced at the old man with sorrow in her eyes, and burst into tears for a moment, but she knew that if she did not take this opportunity to escape, both of them would die here.
She turned around sharply and tried to save her life, but as soon as she turned around, a figure appeared behind him like a ghost.
"You...who are you?"
The woman was shocked by the sudden arrival.
Li Kezhou didn't answer his words. He glanced into the distance, held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and drew the sword fiercely.
laugh--
The seven-foot sword light split through the air and flew away.
Over there, the old man was just determined to die, and was about to be cut in two by the giant pliers, when suddenly a sword light flew from behind.
The scorpion monster that had been in their hands a moment ago and was not even injured at all was now as if it was made of paper. It was cut into two pieces with a sword, and thick green blood was sprinkled all over the floor.
"ah……"
The woman's voice changed in shock.
The old man narrowly escaped death, turned around and saw the person who made the move, dragging his body with him, walked up to him, leaned down and bowed down: "Thank you, my swordsman senior, for saving the two of us from the fire and water!"
The old man's heart was filled with turmoil.
In his eyes, the young man in front of him was not much older than his young lady. At such an age, and matched with such a shocking sword strike just now, he knew that he had met a rare master today.
As he thanked her, he gave a subtle nudge to the girl next to him.
Only then did the woman react, and she quickly bowed and thanked her: "Chu Xiyue from the Wind God Castle, thank you, senior brother, for saving your life. I can't repay you now. When I get back to the castle, I will thank you with all my money!"
The woman suffered internal injuries and her face was as pale as paper. At this time, she felt even more uneasy. Although the people came to save them from the crocodile's claws, it was not clear whether the enemy was friend or foe.
Li Kezhou didn't say anything, and kept looking at the scorpion monster in front of him.
This sand scorpion was ten times smaller than the one he encountered just now, and it only had one scorpion tail. This was why he was able to cut it in half with just one sword.
Suddenly! His expression changed. The scorpion monster that was cut in half, like the one he killed before, also spontaneously ignited without fire, and was completely burned in an instant.
As soon as the sandy wind blew, something appeared in the same place.
It's still the same strange porcelain piece that resembles a badge.
But this piece was ten times smaller than the one he got, and the color was gray-white, and it didn't look pure.
The woman had an exquisite mind and was very good at observing people's emotions. When she saw his gaze, she quickly walked over and picked up the porcelain piece, holding it in both hands and handing it over.
"Congratulations, senior brother! You got this divine emblem!"
Sword cultivators travel all over the world, and those who are ahead of them on the path of swordsmanship are usually called seniors or seniors.
"You said this thing is called a divine emblem?"
Li Kezhou took it and asked while looking at it.
The woman nodded: "Senior brother must not be from the desert, right?"
Li Kezhou felt that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded casually: "That's right! I came here across Yunluo Mountain, and I plan to go to Shenlan..."
When the woman and the old man heard this, their expressions changed, and they looked at each other, and they both saw the horror in the other's eyes.
The girl's eyes were full of admiration: "Senior brother is so amazing! It's incredible that he can cross these doomsday mountains alone, which is a hundred thousand miles away!"
Li Kezhou didn't say anything. Only he knew how many dangers he had gone through in this month. This could be seen from his embarrassment.
"What's the matter with this divine emblem in your mouth? The sand scorpion just now seems to be no ordinary monster, and after killing it, it can set fire to itself. Is it because I am ignorant and ignorant of leaving this thing behind? Why have I never heard of it?
Is there such a strange thing in the world?"
The woman's pale face gradually gained color, and she could probably tell from the brief conversation that the ghostly person in front of her did not look like a treacherous and murderous person.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It's not that senior brother is ignorant. Such things, even in my desert, were only limited to legends before..."
Li Kezhou was even more surprised.
The woman said: "Listen to my senior brother's detailed explanation. This matter starts from a legend called [Blood Demon Comes] that is circulated in our desert. The cause of the whole incident happened about a month ago. On that day, our desert
