5517 The wind blows from the ground
Huo Haier, Bai Chen and the others had not realized what was going on, so Cangque slapped him hard.
When Bai Chen saw that Cang Que's palm was coming to him, his face naturally changed a little, but he did not hide or dodge. He knew that Cang Que's palm was definitely not coming to him!
Sure enough, a powerful force rushed straight behind him, and then a scream rang out, and the green juice splashed out, exuding a fishy smell.
Bai Chen subconsciously looked back and saw a corpse lying behind him, with a slender and spiky tail, fiery red and huge body, multiple feet and pliers-like tentacles, which were a huge scorpion.
The green juice that flows out is not the scorpion's blood, but its venom.
Wherever the venom passed, a whispering sound made, and Bai Chen and others' faces suddenly changed.
They knew that the squeaking sound was made by the venom corroding the sand!
Obviously, this venom is very toxic!
If this falls on me, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Ji Ci couldn't help but say, "Brother Bai, haven't you noticed that there is such a beast following you?"
"No." Bai Chen shook his head. When he came back, he had observed the surroundings specifically and confirmed that there was no danger. Moreover, Yun Ruojian under his feet did not notice such a big scorpion following them.
"It's normal. This kind of scorpion is obviously born and grown in this desert. It is difficult to find hidden in the desert. Senior Chou also discovered it because of his own blood power." Huo Haier looked at Chou.
Cangque nodded slightly. It did rely on the body skills of its own divine beast to detect this big scorpion.
If he had eyesight, he would not have discovered the existence of this scorpion.
"No matter what, it's fine." Ji Ci said.
Bai Chen smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. He didn't expect that he would appear so powerless when he arrived in this desert.
"How is it, are there any gains?" Huo Haier saw that Bai Chen's thoughts changed the subject.
When Bai Chen mentioned this, he immediately took a breath, and then said in a cold voice: "Yes!"
"Oh?" Huo Haier and Ji Ci looked at him together.
Bai Chen was about to speak but was stopped by Ji Ci: "Let's leave here first."
"What's wrong?" Bai Chen asked subconsciously.
"If we kill this scorpion, his tribe will find this place soon. It will be very troublesome to deal with it at that time." Cangque said lightly.
Most of the monsters in the desert live in groups. If you kill this scorpion yourself, the scorpion of their clan must have known it, and maybe you are rushing here.
Although I am not afraid of these scorpions based on my own strength and cultivation, I cannot waste my strength and time on these scorpions.
"Senior Cangque is right, let's leave here first." Bai Chen understood that Cangque's words made sense, and immediately asked Huo Haier and the others to leave here together.
Not long after they left, a large number of fiery red scorpions rushed over from all directions.
Bai Chen and his men, who were lying behind a sand dune, subconsciously looked at each other when they saw this scene, and they all saw the glee in each other's eyes.
"Senior Cangque and Brother Huo guessed it right. There may be a fire stone here. I felt that the temperature of the earth vein was extremely high, and it seemed that it could melt me too! However, it is probably not easy for us to find this fire stone."
At this time, Bai Chen and the others had left the place where they encountered the fire scorpion.
Knowing that Huo Haier and Cangque were most concerned about Huo Chi Shi, Bai Chen immediately told the two of them about his discovery.
"Have you determined the location of the Fire Stone?" Huo Haier frowned and asked when he heard Bai Chen's words.
"No, but what is certain is that the Fire Stone is very far away from us... According to my estimate, it is less a distance of thousands of meters from where we are standing now." Bai Chen said in a narrow voice.
"So deep?" Huo Haier frowned.
"Yes! With such a deep range, it is not easy to get the Fire Stone, right?" Bai Chen said.
"It's not just not easy, it's simply difficult! Not to mention the intense temperature of the Fire Stone and the possible guardian monsters around, the monsters in the desert alone are enough for us to deal with." Huo Haier said with a wry smile.
This desert is so huge that no one is sure how many dangers are hidden in it!
For treasures like Fire Stone, there must be guardian monsters nearby. Even if they overcome all difficulties and reach the location of Fire Stone, they still have to find a way to deal with the guardian monsters...
After a while, it will definitely not work in just a few months.
Even though the Underground Palace of Destroyed Gods passes slowly than the outside world, Bai Chen and the others cannot waste time here.
"Then I can only think of another way. But what else can I do?" Bai Chen couldn't help frowning.
"What else can I do? Find a way out from the desert." Huo Haier said with a wry smile.
It’s just simple to say, such a large desert, there is still hidden dangers hidden in it, so how easy is it to find a way out?
At this time, even Cangque and Yun Ruojian were silent.
But Ji Ci suddenly said, "I don't know if it's feasible."
"What's the solution? Fellow Daoist Ji Ci just said it." Bai Chen looked at Ji Ci.
Ji Ci did not answer Bai Chen's words immediately, but said to Cangque: "Senior Cangque, you said before that desert monsters like Fire Scorpion are all living in groups, right?"
"That's right!" Cangque nodded: "The desert conditions are harsh, and even the monsters born and raised are difficult to persist. Therefore, most monsters choose to live in groups."
"Is the place where monsters live together is considered a place of survival?" Ji Ci asked with a smile.
Cangque was stunned when he heard this, and did not understand what Ji Ci said for a moment.
Bai Chen reacted a little and said, "What do you mean..."
"We can find the place where these monsters live together and find the way out from their place where they live together. In the least, we can find the source of water to ensure our safety." Ji Ci said in a narrow voice.
"Friend Ji Ci's method is feasible! In the desert, a place with water sources means vitality. As long as we can find such a place, we will definitely find the way out of here." Before Ji Ci finished speaking, Bai Chen said excitedly.
The most scarce thing in the desert is water source, especially in this desert. If the water source cannot be found, Bai Chen and Ji Ci will definitely not last long!
If the water source is found, even if they cannot find a way out for a while, at least they can maintain their strength and avoid danger.
"Senior, what do you think?" Huo Haier also agreed with Bai Chen and Ji Ci's method and turned his head to look at Cangque.
Cangque pondered for a moment and said, "The method is feasible, but the fire scorpions were not suitable before. Although they were hiding in dark environments, they were usually hidden deep in the desert... Well, I thought of a very common monster in the desert. There may be water sources in their group place, but I don't know if there is such monster in this desert."
"What kind of monster?" Bai Chen asked curiously.
"Leelong." Cangque spitted out two words in his mouth.
"Leelong? What kind of monster is this? Why have you never heard of it?" Bai Chen frowned.
"The leech dragon is a snake monster. It has the bloodline of the divine beast Qinglong in its body, but it is very weak and almost negligible! Therefore, it is generally considered a snake monster. However, although the leech dragon is small, it is very special. It is a water-attributed monster, but lives in the desert. Because of this characteristic, it is much easier for them to find water sources than other monsters! As long as we can find the leech dragon, we will definitely find the water source." Cang Bird said in a narrow voice.
"If it is as my predecessor said, then we should indeed find the leech dragon. Is it easy to find the leech dragon?" Bai Chen asked: "If there is no leech dragon in this desert, wouldn't it be a waste of time if we struggle to find it?"
"This is also what I'm worried about." Cangque said.
"Otherwise, we will look for other monsters while looking for leech dragons." Huo Haier suggested.
Bai Chen nodded: "This method is feasible."
"Well, we can go the opposite direction of the Fire Stone when we are looking for, because the closer we are to the Fire Stone, the higher the temperature, the less likely it is to have a source of water." Cangque reminded.
This is common sense, Bai Chen naturally knew. He nodded, then felt it carefully for a moment and said, "If my feelings are correct, the Fire Stone is in that place, let's start from this direction."
Huo Chia and the others naturally had no objection, so they immediately headed far away.
A few hours later...
"Hey, we are not far away, why didn't we meet a monster?" Ji Ci was puzzled when she looked at the empty desert.
Although the living conditions in places like deserts are harsh, there are actually not many monsters, and there are even more than other places.
After all, it is possible to be hunted by humans in other places, and in the desert, monsters are more likely to hunt humans.
It took several hours and thousands of miles to go, but Bai Chen and the others had not seen a monster so far, which was really strange.
"There are indeed no monsters nearby." Cangge felt it carefully for a moment, but did not feel the aura of any monsters nearby.
"How far is we from Fire Stone?" Huo Haier asked.
"Although I have opened up a thousand miles, I can still vaguely feel the existence of the Fire Stone... Hey, something seems to be wrong." Bai Chen said suddenly frowned.
Seeing this, Huo Chiaer asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It seems that something is climbing over quickly along the ground veins." Bai Chen frowned even more and more violently. Just as he was guessing that something would come over quickly along the ground, the wind suddenly blew up, and the yellow sand in the sky instantly wrapped Bai Chen and his brothers in it.
"Be careful, everyone." The voice of Cang Bird came, and then he showed his true form, flapping his huge wings and flew towards the yellow sand.
Bai Chen, Huo Haier and Ji Ci also followed closely behind.
