Lord of Eternal Darkness

Guessing the time, it should be around five o'clock.

By the way, I have a mobile phone, why don’t I take it out and look at it? Li Xiaoming slapped his head. Sure enough, he was too slow to get into the sand.

He said to himself: "Is it 5:12 yet? I don't know if I can find a place to rest."

The temperature difference between day and night is huge at night. Although I can still gather some residual light for heating, it is very tiring.

In the tornado before, almost all the supernatural energy in the body was exhausted, and the internal organs of the body were barely damaged.

Li Xiaoming guessed the general direction based on the sun, then took out his mobile phone and started navigation.

We are all modern people, why can't we use tools!

"There seems to be an oasis 5 kilometers ahead. Starting from that place, we should walk another 200 kilometers to the University of Warwick. Without further ado, let's set off as soon as possible."

The weather was still very hot, so Li Xiaoming lowered his sunhat and put on slightly cracked sunglasses.

As he walked through the desert, his feet felt like he was stepping on braised iron plates. If the soles of these shoes were not thick enough, his feet would have been burned.

Li Xiaoming felt something was wrong. Something was coming towards him. It was noisy and there were quite a lot of them. There were such weird sounds even underground.

"Is that a rabbit? Oh my god!"

After Li Xiaoming saw what was coming, he immediately ran away.

What kind of rabbit is that? It is obviously a desert locust as big as a rabbit!

The appearance is not much different from ordinary locusts, but they are much larger than those seen 1,000 years ago.

This mutated locust has a yellowish-brown body.

They usually hide under the sand at noon, and usually only appear active for a short time in the morning and evening.

The exoskeleton has been greatly strengthened to support the body. The strong feet have two rows of serrated blades, which are the favorite weapons of the hunter profession.

The most terrifying thing is that this desert locust also has two pairs of dangerous jaws, which can easily cut through woody stems and even animal bones.

It's just that they are generally docile and will not actively attack humans. After all, their main food is grass, and they occasionally eat meat.

The key is that with such a large number of bugs, who knows which one occasionally eats meat? If the body is accidentally scratched, blood will flow, and then it will directly become the target of locust attack.

Li Xiaoming looked back at the dense desert locusts behind him. His two little legs were flopping around desperately.

However, the focus of the sand is too scattered, and the running speed cannot be fully reflected.

"He has no end to his troubles. This thing can jump too far. With such a large mass, it can jump 5 meters in one go. Sooner or later, it will fry you all!"

Li Xiaoming was panting and she cursed.

He never expected that these swarms of desert locusts would be chasing after him and there would be no chance to get rid of them.

I must have gone out without looking at the almanac today, and I didn't look at it yesterday either.

As soon as we got on the helicopter, we encountered a sandstorm and a man-made tornado. As a result, the helicopter fell off and we encountered these monsters. I was really fed up.

The previous storm must have destroyed all the shelters of these insects, and he broke into their territory again and became the target of venting.

He was still chasing after me under such a strong sun. I was really willing to consume this hard-won biological energy.

Suddenly he heard the sound of wings vibrating behind him. He turned around suddenly and his face turned green on the spot.

These mutated giant locusts actually had the ability to fly for short periods of time, and their speed suddenly increased.

It turned into a brown cannonball and rushed directly towards Li Xiaoming. It hit the backpack hard and almost staggered him.

Li Xiaoming felt that this was not going to work, so he was ready to show off his skills.

He pulled out the crowbar placed on the side of his backpack with his backhand and waved fiercely towards the back.

"Boom!"

The two mutated locusts behind them were suddenly pushed far away, turning into two bowling balls and crashing into the swarm. For a moment, the locusts staggered around, confused and unable to understand the situation.

Li Xiaoming smiled proudly, feeling much more comfortable now.

Facing the deafening chirping of insects and flapping wings, my brain suddenly calmed down.

The scorching heat of the weather and the accident made him upset. Facing such a large swarm of locusts, he actually attacked with a backhand. The most important thing was the direction in which he was running, as if there was a large oasis in front of him.

If the mutated locusts are lured over, something might go wrong.

The damage to animals and plants is absolutely serious, and it will also affect your ability to rest.

He immediately turned around and ran to other places. These locusts must be tired after chasing him for so long.

After all, after growing so much in size, the consumption of endurance is very serious.

Therefore, they spend most of their time hiding under the sand. Only when it is time to reproduce, will they leave the desert and go to other places with more plants to eat and continue the next generation.

But what is a bit curious is that desert locusts follow certain habits.

Once enough energy is obtained, it will return to the desert to rest again, and will never spread unbridled.

Although the Adventurers Association is responsible for exterminating some locusts, it mainly isolates these creatures in the desert.

The above is what Li Xiaoming thought after running two kilometers, so why are the locusts still chasing me?

Could it be that I just beat two mutated locusts with my hands and came to take revenge?

Didn’t I say that you bugs are too friendly and united, right?

The group of mutated desert locusts cheered and jumped continuously, spreading their enthusiasm in this hot desert. They danced, sang, flew, and rolled. No matter how great the difficulties were, they just strengthened their goals. , keep pursuing forward.

At this moment, he saw a figure in front of him.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating due to the increased heartbeat and blood pressure caused by running too tired.

The pretty figure seemed to have noticed Li Xiaoming, and was walking slowly over, with a relaxed pace, her white skirt fluttering in the wind, and she had an aloof appearance.

Li Xiaoming shouted on the spot: "Don't come over! Don't come over! Run, you silly kid."

As a result, the other person walked faster, even turning into a happy trot.

However, after getting close to a certain distance, he seemed to notice what the large piece of Huang Yanyan behind the other party was, and he quickly turned around and ran away, without the free and easy beauty before.

When Li Xiaoming slid down the sandy slope, he leaned back and held his forehead with his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"I told you to run away earlier! I thought you were so powerful that you could kill those things behind you with one move."

Li Xiaoming relied on his super stability to control his center of gravity, rolled up and started running again.

The swarm of desert locusts behind them couldn't react due to the sudden change in angle. They all rolled down in a ball and reorganized their formation, wasting a lot of time chasing people.

Li Xiaoming looked at the woman in front of him who was running away desperately, but her speed was not even half as fast as his own, and he suddenly felt pitiful.

"Help! My supreme God, come and save me, your loyal followers are going to be eaten!" the woman in the white dress shouted while running.

Li Xiaoming had already caught up with the woman, but the girl ran faster.

"Don't come over, don't come over!"

"Damn it, what can I do? It's all uphill. Besides, this is the only flat road. The locust swarm is enveloping you at a huge angle. Girl, I advise you not to come."

The girl said with a crying voice:

"If you didn't tell me earlier, why did you bring trouble to Dongshui and lure those monsters here? Oh, oh, oh, she is still a beautiful girl, she has not even been in love, and she is going to be buried with a wanderer? Lord, My soul will be stained."

Li Xiaoming felt that the voice was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Looking at her, I realized that this woman seemed to be the one on the helicopter, and she also survived.

There is no longer a soft veil covering Qingcheng's face, but she still wears a lace eyepatch over her eyes. Anyway, now she has a gray face, messy hair, and ragged clothes, just like a country girl.

Except for a string of precious necklaces around her neck, which proved her identity, nothing else could be seen.

What's more important is that this girl is running on the hot sand with bare feet. No wonder she can't run so fast.

Li Xiaoming unknowingly surpassed that woman.

Suddenly, she heard crying from behind. It turned out that she lost her balance and fell into the sand.

It's called a pear blossom with tears, so pitiful. This inexplicable contrast is actually a bit cute.

I couldn't bear it. After finally surviving the catastrophe, I brought trouble to her.

Li Xiaoming gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, took out the stimulant from his personal space and drank it in one gulp.

The potion moistened his lips and made him feel a little more comfortable, but he didn't bother to drink water now, so he grabbed the girl and put her on his shoulders.

"What are you doing, aren't you afraid of death? What if you encounter quicksand? Everyone will fall in."

The woman's skin was close to the man's, and her face turned red, either from the sun or from embarrassment.

Li Xiaoming showed a confident smile. "Don't worry, the knight's justice has arrived. By the way, this is hard sand, there will be no quicksand, and there is a trap area ahead, so we can only fight."

Amidst the girls' astonishment and exclamations, Li Xiaoming picked up his soft body and ran towards a forbidden place of death.

There will never be any unnecessary adventures without doing enough homework.

Heaven and earth, when will I be able to write 100,000 words, and then give up when he rejects it? Otherwise, I will have to shamelessly apply seven or eight times.
