V1.Chapter 73

It's noon.

The scorching sun hung high over the yellow desert.

Waves of heat continued to hit, and the gravel under your feet was horribly hot.

Hunger, thirst and lack of physical strength make people dizzy.

Cang Xu and Zi Di staggered when walking. Several times, they almost fell to the ground with their knees and legs weak.

In view of this, Zhen Jin and others had to hide in the shadow of sand dunes to rest.

Bai Ya was still unconscious, and the remaining three were struggling to breathe.

It seems that the gods rarely pity these poor people - the wind blows in the desert.

Although the wind was not strong, it eliminated a bit of extreme heat.

Under the wind, fine sand rolls on the windward side of the sand slope, while quicksand flows on the back of the sand slope.

The sand and gravel flow rolls out a rustling sound, and people in repose simply cannot experience the beauty of this sound itself.

A lot of physical energy has been consumed, which makes the empty belly of Zhen Jin and others feel very painful.

Zhen Jin felt so hungry that her chest was against her back.

As soon as he entered the shadow on the back of the sand dune, he put the unconscious white bud on the ground.

When he first set out, he was carrying Bai Ya and didn't think it was a heavy burden. But now, he feels like carrying an elephant.

The burden disappears, and the whole body feels relaxed when the needle is golden.

He didn't forget to check the condition of Bai Ya.

"I have a high fever again." Needle gold's eyes darkened.

The state of Bai Ya is repeated and very bad.

Zhen Jin wanted to help him, but Bai Ya had already used Zidi's medicine.

If there is enough food and water, Bai Ya's body can be well nourished.

But now the situation is that these people just drank a few mouthfuls on the way, and didn't eat at all.

In this regard, needle gold is really helpless.

He can only open the mouth of the water bag, open Bai Ya's mouth and pour a small stream of water into it.

Water has long been divided into three parts, and everyone has water bags. Needle gold gives Bai Ya his own share.

Cang Xu and Zi Di didn't speak as they watched Zhen Jin do so.

They both sat on the ground, motionless, and did not want to speak at all, or even had no strength to speak.

Zhen Jin also kept silent.

He sat quietly, feeling like an hourglass, and his physical strength was like sand particles, which fell into his body one by one and accumulated.

After waking up on this island, needle gold has never been so hungry and thirsty as it is now.

The closest time was the day when he was buried in the sand and broke free. But at that time, he had food - it was a desert Viper without eyes.

Now Zhijin is looking at the yellow desert and the vast sky and earth, and is looking forward to something like an adder attacking him.

Once, he had just eliminated the rats, and had food and subordinates to return to. It was transmitted that night, and all the efforts became a foam. He came out of the sand and was attacked by adders. His heart was full of sorrow.

Now, sitting on the gravel, recalling the scene, he felt that the attack of the Viper might be a gift of nature or the mercy of the gods.

A flash of enlightenment suddenly came into Zhen Jin's heart.

"Hehe." He couldn't help laughing softly.

The sound caused Zi Di and Cang Xu's doubts.

Aware of their gaze, Zhen Jin opened his mouth and explained, "many times, many times, when the blow and torture of fate happened to me. Every time, I thought I had suffered the heaviest suffering in the world."

"However, in fact, it is not."

"Without the most difficult moments, life will encounter more painful hardships."

"Now, my situation is more difficult than when I was attacked by vipers. Maybe I will be more embarrassed in the future."

Zidi is silent.

They had exchanged information for a long time, and the girl knew what had happened after the needle gold was separated.

Cang Xu also laughed.

"My Lord, hearing what you said, I feel relieved for some reason."

"Your attitude is not optimistic, but open-minded."

Zidi thought deeply and whispered, "suffering is a kind of wealth. The difference is whether people can dig these wealth from suffering."

Needle gold recalled the scenes he had experienced on the island since he woke up, especially the demon core in his heart: "if so, then I am a millionaire."

This is the end of the conversation.

After talking these words, everyone immediately felt more tired.

For a long time, they kept silent.

As time goes by, the power of the malicious sun weakens.

Needle gold back white buds, with purple and Cang Xu to continue on the road.

Their luck turned for the better.

On the next journey, they found a dead Salix psammophila and many spiders and scorpions, which became precious food.

They also found a desert lizard and a desert jerboa.

This jerboa is just an ordinary beast. It is small and almost the same as an ordinary mouse. Its ears are very wide and its hearing is very sensitive. It has yellow fur very close to the desert. Its hind legs are developed, and it can jump a distance of oneortwo meters with a light jump.

After the chase, its body was put into the pocket of Zhijin.

The lizard and the jerboa didn't go down immediately, and the others basically went into the mouth of cangxu and Zidi.

However, these supplements can't meet their physical consumption at all, so that they have to stop and rest many times on the way.

The efficiency of the journey was greatly reduced. When night fell, the people did not arrive at their destination - the golden gneiss group.

Cang Xu surveyed the surrounding terrain, looked at the stars, and drew a map on the gravel.

"I don't know much about astrology. But the surrounding terrain has become familiar. It's only a few days since we went in and out of lava landform. The terrain of sand dunes should not change much."

"Therefore, we are not far from the gneiss group."

"Early tomorrow morning, you can arrive by walking a short distance."

"Rest here tonight, my Lord. We can't go any further."

The old scholar sighed, and the wind at night made his snow-white beard tremble slightly.

Zi Di and Cang Xu both knew the benefits of rushing to the golden gneiss group, but they couldn't walk anymore.

In fact, needle gold is not much better.

The young knight nodded, "we have firewood from cutting Salix psammophila. The night in the desert is very cold, but we can light a bonfire and deal with it all night."

The sparks collided with each other, and the firewood was extremely dry, and the campfire burned smoothly.

The crowd sat around the campfire.

The bodies of the little lizard and the jerboa were pierced by two wooden strips, held by needles and gold, and let them be heated and barbecued on the fire.

Smelling the aroma of barbecue, Zidi couldn't help rolling her Adam's apple.

"This must be the most delicious food in the world!" Zidi opened her mouth, and her eyes showed longing.

Cang Xu also stared at the two barbecues. He moved his eyes hard and grabbed a handful of sand under his body: "I look at this handful of sand now, and I think they are extremely cute. They are so cute that I can't help but want to swallow them."

Zidi smiled and echoed with deep sympathy, "I think those black volcanic lava are very like fluffy chocolate bread with a burnt surface."

"I have read some historical records that famine broke out in the Empire, and many refugees ate earth and killed themselves."

"I can't understand their feelings now. Hunger can really drive people crazy. I don't think about anything, but only think about eating. I want to eat everything, eat grass, eat earth and eat sand."

Cang Xu sighed, "there are indeed people who eat earth. Famine occurs every few years on the southeast and southwest coasts of the Empire. The refugees on the coast collect earth, mix it with butter and salt, and make mud biscuits."

"The shata family once sent me to deliver a batch of relief supplies. I have also tasted this kind of mud biscuits when I went there."

"Speaking, the taste of this mud biscuit is actually very delicate. But once you eat it, you will feel the unique wet taste of the seaside."

"This kind of mud biscuit is basically the size of an adult's palm. Refugees will spread these biscuits on the ground and withstand the sun."

"I just took a sip, and the smell of the soil remained in my mouth for several hours."

"The local refugees eat these things for a long time, and the elderly and children eat them. Therefore, they are all skinny and have diarrhea for a long time. Almost every day, a child dies of diarrhea."

"You know what? When I'm on my way during the day, I swear again: but now if there are mud biscuits, I'm willing to eat them until I can't eat them!"

While turning over the meat kebab in his hand, Zhen Jin asked, "speaking of digestive ability... Mr. cangxu, how about the digestive ability of beasts? What kind of beasts have the strongest digestive ability?"

Cang Xu murmured, "compared with people, the digestion ability of beasts is very strong."

"Hyenas are notorious for eating bones, so almost all the bodies visited by hyenas are dead."

"Hu vulture has highly corrosive digestive juice, which is very easy to digest bones and bone marrow."

"Boa constrictors swallow food raw, whether crocodiles or elephants, can be digested."

"Generally speaking, birds have the strongest digestive ability. Eating insects takes only 15 minutes to digest. Eating berries and other foods can excrete in 30 minutes. Some seabirds eat fish, some fish just swallow it, the fish tail is still near the mouth, and the fish head has dissolved in the stomach."

"How about the digestion ability of the scorpion?" Needle gold asked again.

Cang Xu said, "very strong! The spear scorpion is a Warcraft, and its own ability is more than that of ordinary beasts. It can eat metal, has extremely strong digestion ability, and can completely melt and decompose metal. According to my anatomy, the digestion speed is also very fast, and it only takes about five minutes to eliminate the metal stones it eats."

Pin Jin nodded and stopped talking.

When the meat kebabs of jerboa and lizard were almost ready for barbecue, Zhen Jin suddenly changed his expression and made a sideways listening action.

This action immediately aroused Zi Di and Cang Xu's vigilance.

"Something is happening." Needle gold's face was slightly heavy.

Zi Di and Cang Xu didn't hear anything, but they knew that Zhen Jin was a spirited cultivator, and his physical quality was far superior to that of ordinary people. It was normal to hear some sounds.

"You eat first, and I'll go to guard, expel or kill the beasts that may exist."

"Try to stay where you are and don't move."

Zhen Jin took care of the two people, handed them the kebab and stood up slowly.

"Adult, you must be careful." Zidi is extremely concerned.

Pin Jin nodded and walked quickly, and his figure soon disappeared into the night.

He first circled around, and after confirming that there was no trace of beasts, he took aim in one direction and ran quickly.

No longer carrying white buds, nor purple stems, Cang whiskers to slow down, needle gold soon came to the golden gneiss group.

The golden gneiss group is also very safe, without any gun scorpion activity.

Needle gold took a deep breath, and her face showed a touch of hesitation.

But immediately, he made up his mind.

He began to undress.

Soon, he took off all his clothes and became naked.

The next moment, he moved his heart core and his whole body glowed red.

The rich red light covered his face and body, leaving only a human red outline.

Then soon, the red human figure collapsed like a stream of water and became a scorpion.

The red light faded, and the needle gold in place disappeared, replaced by a gun scorpion.

Silver level breath of life overflowed.

Needle gold has become a gun scorpion leader!

This was the first time that he had completely changed his body, and there was no trace of human beings all over his body.

It's actually risky, but Zhijin has to do so.

He is too hungry.

He is at least a silver level spirited cultivator, and the only two meat kebabs are of no help at all. In fact, even if Zidi ate them all, she couldn't eat enough.

Therefore, Zhijin decided to take another approach.

Gneiss is not human food.

Then, he will become a thorough gun scorpion. Try it.

At this moment, the sense of needle gold has changed dramatically.

Night was not so deep for him. With the help of the eyes of the scorpion, he can see far away in the dark.

The scorpion has not only one pair of eyes, the main eye is directly in front of the scorpion head, and two pairs of attached eyes are distributed on both sides of the scorpion head.

Therefore, Zhijin's vision at the moment is very broad.

Gun scorpions also have a good smell, and needle gold immediately smelled a strong fragrance.

He soon found that the fragrance came from the gneiss around him.

People can't smell anything from the gneiss, at most it's stone or metal. But at the moment, the needle gold, which became a gun scorpion, smelled a wonderful fragrance that had never been smelled before.

This wonderful fragrance immediately seduced Zhen Jin to lift the scorpion tail behind him.

The scorpion's tail emits electricity and penetrates the golden gneiss.

Needle gold used his claws like giant pincers to smash the pockmarked gold gneiss into many pieces with the scorpion tail.

The claws crush these fragments and put them into the mouth of the gun scorpion.

Needle gold chewing.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

"Delicious!"

"It's like chocolate biscuits. The taste is crisp, and the final taste is also silky."

Zhen Jin almost screamed.

It turns out that for the gun scorpion, the golden hemp stone is such a delicacy!

The taste system of scorpions is completely different from that of humans.

Needle gold eats and chews.

He is very hungry.

After eating two large pieces of gneiss in a row, he stopped.

He lay on the ground in the form of a gun scorpion, and did not move for a long time, making sure that the golden gneiss in his body had been digested.

A crisp, sour and itchy feeling began to appear all over the body.

"What's going on?" Zhen Jin felt strange. It was clear that he had been paying attention to his internal organs, and the digestion of Jin Ma Shi was very smooth and thorough.

"Don't you say?"

The needle gold heart suddenly flashed.

He thought of what Cang Xu had said to the effect that the gun scorpion ate the gneiss, which could absorb the metal in the stone and make its scorpion shell more solid.

Pin Jin immediately shook the scorpion's tail and stabbed the shell on his back.

However, they are all part of the body of needle gold. The scorpion tail is as strong as the scorpion shell and cannot cause any damage.

Needle gold will mobilize the heart core, restore the human shape, but retain the scorpion shell on the chest.

Maybe it's because there is only a small scorpion shell left, and the feeling of crisp, sour and itchy concentrates on the chest, and becomes extremely strong.

The five fingers of the needle turned into a spider blade and stabbed fiercely at the chest.

The new spider blade is very sharp, puncturing the scorpion's shell and making incisions.

Suddenly, the numbness and itching sensation that made needle gold unbearable eased most of it.

But after a few breaths, this strange feeling became strong again.

Zhen Jin looked at his chest and found that most of the wound on the scorpion shell on his chest had healed.

However, a happy face appeared on the face of needle gold.

Because he has proved that his conjecture is right.

He immediately stabbed himself in the chest with a spider blade.

Poked again and again, poked a lot of small holes.

The scorpion shell heals quickly again and again, and the strange sensation of crisp, sour and itchy gradually weakens, and finally disappears completely.

Zhen Jin touched his chest and found that the newly grown scorpion shell became a bit stronger than before.

"This should be the reason why the silver gun scorpion chased me."

"So it wants to be beaten and injured!"

"I used to lead them to the gneiss group and let them eat again, but it was harmful to myself."

Aware of the truth, the joy on Zhen Jin's face disappeared, replaced by a wry smile full of helplessness.

Zhen Jin didn't stay too long. When he was full, he immediately rushed back.

Come to the bonfire again and see Zi Di and Cang Xu.

Jerboa and lizard kebabs had been roasted long ago, but Zidi and cangxu didn't eat them, even though they were very hungry.

"Adults, you eat."

"Lord Zhen Jin, don't be unnecessarily humble. Only you have enough physical strength can we ensure the safety of all of us, can't you? Even if we have enough physical strength, we can't deal with the fierce Warcraft."

Although Zi Di and Cang Xu were very hungry, they both tried to persuade Zhen Jin to eat the two meat kebabs.

Of course, Zhen Jin refused. He was full.

The two sides pushed each other, but this time Zidi and cangxu were very firm.

Zhen Jin had to change his face: "I have enough physical strength and my physical condition is much better than the two of you. You eat too little food. If you don't eat this again, it may be difficult to survive tonight. These firewood may not last a night."

Speaking of this, Zhen Jin stared at Zidi affectionately: "I said, I will guard you until the end of my life."

Then, the boy looked at Cang Xu again: "old scholar, even if you don't want to rely on me and don't want to be my subordinate, I will try my best to save you. I once vowed to try my best to save everyone, including you and Bai Ya."

"Do you want me to break my oath? Do you want to damage the glory of my knight?" Needle gold's expression became very solemn.

Zi Di and Cang Xu both looked at Zhen Jin and felt that his whole body seemed to be emitting holy light. For a time, their body and mind were shocked and did not make a sound.

"Burp."

At this time, Zhen Jin couldn't help burping.

Cang Xu, Zi Di:???
