Longevity starts with learning

The scorching sun was shining brightly, and it lasted for nine whole days.

However, the darkness that makes one unable to see his fingers only lasts for nine hours.

Nine hours passed, the darkness that could not be seen even dissipated, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky again.

The sky is filled with yellow sand and the heat wave is rolling.

One night passed, and Chu Mu's situation seemed to have remained unchanged.

The tide of sand-tailed scorpions is still endless, one after another.

He is still one man and one sword, trapped in this endless killing and bloodshed.

However, compared to the previous desperate escape, now, or in other words, since the passing of that pill, it seemed that he was pulled out of the drifting killings.

When rationality returns, it is natural to think a little more.

The desert sea here seems to be... filled with doubts.

While waving the three-foot blade, for some unknown reason, Chu Mu suddenly revealed a flaw. The next moment, the endless tide of sand-tailed scorpions, like an extremely precise machine, instantly sensed the flaw.

The sand-tailed scorpions within a radius of tens of feet all changed their surging momentum, and instead deployed a series of killing moves around this flaw.

Chu Mu's expression was calm, without any sign of shock. He waved the three-foot blade in front of him, and the flaw he exposed was instantly covered up by him. The blade circulated, sniffing the dozens of sand-tailed scorpions that came from his flaw. Died one after another.

And with the disappearance of this flaw, the blade returned to nature, and the airtight defense came again. The tide of sand-tailed scorpions that originally moved with it also returned to calm visibly to the naked eye.

Just like an assassin who has undergone rigorous training, after failing to succeed in one blow, he restrained his murderous intent and waited for the next opportunity.

But it seems more like a machine following a fixed program, a puppet?

Chu Mu frowned, and there was obvious surprise in his brows.

There is something wrong with this world, this desert sea.

There seems to be something wrong with this group of sand-tailed scorpions.

The failure of the alchemy pill is due to the many doubts in this world.

Nine days of scorching sun and nine hours of eternal darkness are also due to the anomalies in this world.

And this group of sand-tailed scorpions...

When he suddenly arrived here, he was still confused, but there was endless bloody killing.

Coupled with his inherent impression of the sand-tailed scorpions, his fear of the existence of sand-tailed scorpions undoubtedly occupied most of his thoughts. Killing and escaping also occupied almost all his thoughts.

But now, after several days of fighting, looking back, I see these endless sand-tailed scorpions...

Although, the characteristics of the sand-tailed scorpion group he saw were almost identical to those recorded in ancient classics.

Whether it was the insect-like population structure, the evolution of the sand-tailed scorpions, or even the endless siege, it seemed that the catastrophes caused by the sand-tailed scorpions in ancient times were repeated on him.

All in one, without any flaw.

It can be called a great terror.

but……

Chu Mu looked around. The sand was spreading and the tide of beasts was surging, but there was no chaos at all. The strict and almost harsh order was clearly reflected in the tide of sand-tailed scorpions.

But this strict order seems... not just a simple strict order, but more... a rigor under rigidity?

Chu Mu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and a hint of surprise was clearly visible in his eyes.

He pondered for a moment, then thought about it, and tentatively revealed a flaw.

Sure enough, when his airtight defense showed a flaw, almost instantly, an almost programmed reaction was revealed.

Hundreds of sand-tailed scorpions tens of feet around him all moved with him.

And when the flaw was covered up and the airtight defense returned again, these sand-tailed scorpions immediately returned to normal, rushing towards him one after another.

It seems like a normal phenomenon, but obviously, this seems to be the biggest abnormality.

After all, all sand-tailed scorpions obey the control of the sand-tailed scorpion mother. Sand-tailed scorpions are ignorant and are just pawns and cannon fodder at the mercy of the sand-tailed scorpion mother.

But the Sand Tail Scorpion Mother......

As far as he knew, due to the unique inheritance and reproduction method of the Sand-tailed Scorpion Mother, any Sand-tailed Scorpion Priest must have a spiritual intelligence that is not inferior to that of others from the moment it is born.

In other words, no matter what the cultivation level of the sand-tailed scorpion mother behind these sand-tailed scorpions is, her spiritual intelligence is absolutely extremely high.

But judging from the almost programmed reaction just now, the seemingly strict order of these endless sand-tailed scorpions does not seem to be controlled by an intelligent demon, but more like programmed rigidity. .

After all, he had used the same flaw and the same routine many times. If the demon of spiritual intelligence was manipulating it, it would naturally be impossible for him to be fooled again and again, and he would have almost the same reaction every time.

This kind of programmed rigidity is obviously very familiar to him.

After all, every puppet he made was programmed and dull.

In other words, in the world of immortality, any puppet is so programmed and dull.

If it is not programmed and rigid, then it is not an artifact puppet. It should be called...a living thing!

It is also commonly known as... becoming a sperm!

Just like the Spirit Plant Puppet, the only thing he engraved on the core of the Spirit Plant Puppet is the knowledge system about Spirit Plant Planting.

In the cultivation of spiritual plants, the spiritual plant puppets must follow the instructions meticulously, rigidly and strictly, with perfection, without any mistakes or omissions.

Any problem that arises, as long as it is within the core record range of the intelligent puppet, will inevitably be dealt with in a programmed manner.

But obviously, the meticulousness and perfection of Lingzhi Puppet is precisely because of its ignorance and procedural nature.

It is obviously difficult for a person with spiritual intelligence to be as rigid and meticulous as a puppet.

The sand-tailed scorpions in front of them seemed no different from the rigid and rigorous puppets.

Judging from this rigidity, it seems that the one who controls these sand-tailed scorpions is not a sand-tailed scorpion mother with intelligence that is not inferior to that of others, but just an inherent program like the heart of a puppet!

"Is the Sand Tail Scorpion Mother like this, or..."

Chu Mu frowned. What he knew about the sand-tailed scorpion was only a few words recorded in the classics.

As for this kind of rigorous and rigid routine, he was not sure whether the Sand Tail Scorpion Mother itself was like this.

After all, with the special characteristics of the sand-tailed scorpion group, it is not impossible to control the reproduction of such endless sand-tailed scorpions. The spiritual wisdom of the sand-tailed scorpion mother, who is the core of the sand-tailed scorpion group, is different from other creatures.

It's hard to say that the legendary Sand Tail Scorpion Mother didn't pay attention to him at all, but was just a little distracted and dealt with it independently. This is not impossible.

Or is it true that as he guessed, those who control these sand-tailed scorpions are not the legendary sand-tailed scorpion mothers, but just an inherent program.

When he entered the desert sea, he triggered the warning line of this inherent program. Then, under the influence of this program, the endless sand-tailed scorpions began to hunt him down in a programmed manner...

This seems to be possible.

If he remembered correctly, it came from the jade slip of the Xie family, but this ruins cave became the "Relics Trial"!

Entering this ruins cave is the trial level of the ruins cave.

And this kind of trial level will also vary from person to person.

All of this is clearly recorded on that jade slip.

It is obviously not impossible for the endless sand-tailed scorpions in this vast desert sea to be programmed and manipulated into a trial level.

However, if this is possible, then... where is the Sand Tail Scorpion Mother?

The ruins cave has existed for such a long time. Without the existence of the sand-tailed scorpion mother, where would these countless sand-tailed scorpions come from?

Or maybe the Sand Tail Scorpion Mother is under control? slave?

Full of doubts, Chu Mu looked around. The tide of sand-tailed scorpions was still boundless, and there was still no end in sight for this vast desert sea.

Nine days and one night, thousands of miles of bloody journey, it seems that nothing has changed in his situation.

No matter how many sand-tailed scorpions he killed, it seemed like they were only a drop in the bucket.

This discovery does not seem to be of much use to him at the moment.

After all, the demon of spiritual intelligence may still make mistakes and be careless, but if the procedures are really rigid and rigorous, then obviously there cannot be any omissions or accidents.

Killing him is the supreme mission, and around this mission, there is no doubt that they will not stop until death.

This dead end seems even more desperate.

"but……"

At this time, Chu Mu seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up. However, when he looked at the endless sand-tailed scorpions in front of him, his expression suddenly became a little uncertain.

But soon, he seemed to have made a decision. This time, he did not flee along this bloody road again.

Instead, he paused here, and as the blade circulated, he tested it again and again.

The rigid rigor of programming is obviously something he is very familiar with as a puppet master.

Except for low-level puppets that do not have a puppet core, the most important thing for any puppet with a puppet core must be the puppet heart.

Just like those smart devices in his previous life, its core chip and smart program are the core soul of any smart device.

Puppet, naturally, too.

At the beginning of refining any puppet, its mission must have been clearly engraved in its heart.

The behavioral logic of the puppet after it is refined, in addition to the operator's orders, must follow the procedures of the puppet's heart, which is rigid and rigorous.

It’s impossible to go beyond the slightest bit!

This is what he wants to test.

Is the sand-tailed scorpion's rigidity and rigor due to the sand-tailed scorpion's own special intelligence, or is it really the rigid rigor of programming, as he thought.

Although, he couldn't tell the difference between the two.

After all, he didn't know much about the Sand-Tailed Scorpion Mother...

We can only test as much as possible, make rough guesses, and... bet on a possibility!

In such a dead end, he could only gamble!

Bet this rigor and rigidity are really just procedural rigor and rigidity!

If the procedure is really rigorous and rigid, then for him, it will undoubtedly be a twists and turns, a dead end turning into a way out!

His eyes became determined, Chu Mu raised his hand and took several Qingyun Pills into his belly. Under the refining of mana, the rolling medicinal power from Qingyun Pills burst out.

Even if it does not have the effect of the elixir pattern, the Qingyun Pill he refined by himself is naturally not a mortal thing. The pile of elixirs that have been lost regardless of the loss, and the almost dry energy and spirit, are naturally very fast under the burst of this raging medicinal power. The return to fullness.

When the filling reached a critical point, Chu Mu did not hesitate at all, his mind moved slightly, and the three-foot blade in his hand suddenly dissipated like a phantom bubble.

Under this scorching sun, Chu Mu once again opened the door wide and revealed all his flaws.

And the successive waves of sand-tailed scorpions still reacted in a rigid and programmed manner. In response to his wide-open door, a series of killing moves came one after another.

The same reaction was staged again.

And this time, Chu Mu did not slaughter again, nor did he save his mana. With a low shout, a towering ancient tower suddenly appeared behind him.

In just a moment, the ancient tower's shadow turned from virtual to real, and a towering ancient tower dozens of feet high stood in the sky.

At the same time, the red flames intertwined in the sky, and the fire dragons circled, and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation took shape in an instant.

In just a moment, the area within a hundred feet was suppressed and imprisoned by the ancient tower.

And hundreds of feet away, the endless tide of sand-tailed scorpions was also isolated outside, and they surged one after another.

Just as the scene reappeared, any sand-tailed scorpion that rushed over was like a moth to a flame under the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation. The moment it touched the red and scorching red, it was refined into ashes and completely annihilated with the flying yellow sand.

And the price of this successive refining and annihilation fell on Chu Mu, which was a terrifying consumption of mana and consciousness.

This was also the fundamental reason why he dispersed the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Formation and only supported it with one person and one sword.

In this endless tide of beasts, the disadvantages of such terrible consumption are naturally self-evident.

At this moment, Chu Mu turned a blind eye to it. In his dantian, the surging medicinal power burst out to make up for such terrible consumption.

And Chu Mu looked at the sand-tailed scorpions that were imprisoned and suppressed in the formation.

Two third-level sand-tailed scorpions, twenty-eight second-level sand-tailed scorpions, and sixteen first-level sand-tailed scorpions.

And this is just an extremely insignificant drop in the bucket in this endless tide of sand-tailed scorpions.

If he hadn't had the sword spirit accompanying him, his attack would have been unparalleled.

This level of beast tide would have probably completely submerged him.

Of course, the biggest blessing is these third-level sand-tailed scorpions.

The spatial attribute is elusive, but its body is extremely fragile, and its means are just restrained by him, so it doesn't pose much threat to him.

In addition, these spatial sand-tailed scorpions did not completely participate in this beast tide, and their greater role seems to be just to deter him and prevent him from escaping.

Otherwise, if it were other third-level sand-tailed scorpions, even if it was just these ordinary sand-tailed scorpions that advanced and rushed directly, coupled with this endless beast tide...

No matter how many means he has, I'm afraid he can only end up in regret.

It is precisely because of this that he can hold on to this time and place in this endless siege...
