Origin

Waiting is a waste of time. Naturally, Wu Zhongyuan is not willing to waste time in vain. He spends most of his time breathing and practicing Qi. Occasionally, he will fight with Jiang Nan to consume his spiritual Qi and speed up his improvement in cultivation.

However, this time there was no tension and urgency like the battle against the giant eagle and hyena that day. No matter how hard you worked hard, your spiritual energy cultivation improved very slowly, and it was difficult to make rapid progress like that day.

This situation made Wu Zhongyuan very helpless. People can only unleash their huge potential when their lives are threatened. No matter how serious the drill is, it is not actual combat. There is no such thing as the feeling of death if you don't fight hard.

Waiting in itself is already very torturous, but waiting in a harsh environment is even more torturous. The most unbearable thing about the desert is not the heat during the day, nor the cold at night, nor the occasional hurricanes, but the dryness, too dryness. , hands and feet cracked, lips bursting.

Being in the desert, I don't want to waste drinking water to wash up. Everyone is gray and unkempt.

After waiting for another two days and no wind, Wu Zhongyuan decided to quit, not because he couldn't hold on any longer, nor because he ran out of dry food and water, but because he couldn't bear to let Jiang Nan and others suffer along with him.

After telling Jiang Nan and others about their thoughts, they all insisted on waiting for a few more days. The drinking water and dry food they carried could still last for ten days. They had to leave five days' supply in case of emergency, and they could wait for another five days. , after five days, no matter whether the wind blows or not, we have to leave.

Compared with the four of them, Dasha's situation is slightly better. It is an insect, to be precise, it is a beetle. It is covered with thick carapace and loses very little water. Dasha is also very good at digging holes, but in the desert There is no way to dig a hole in it, so it can only bury itself in the sand.

Although the second child is doing Sha Seng's job, it is not Sha Seng's character. He is a bit mean. Being mean is a character that is difficult to describe accurately. It includes many aspects. He is dishonest, can't wait, and always likes to find something. Doing meaningless things.

It had caught all the snakes and insects nearby and had fun with them, so it wandered far away. Worried about an accident, Wu Zhongyuan stopped it from running around. It also wanted to be obedient, but it had no self-control, so it wandered away and wandered away.

There are venomous snakes in the desert. After the second child catches the venomous snake, he will play with it for a long time, waving the venomous snake like a whip, hahahaha, in fact, he doesn't know any kung fu at all. After playing enough, the snake died. It curiously held the snake's head and bit its own finger. The armadillo itself has a certain ability to resist poison, and it wanted to test whether it could withstand the poison of this poisonous snake.

The result of the attempt was that it couldn't bear it and was worried about being criticized by Wu Zhongyuan. It avoided everyone when doing these boring things. If Wu Zhongyuan hadn't happened to relieve himself far away and found it lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, he called Jiang Nanlai. Help it detoxify, and it may be poisoned to death by itself.

They all say that if you don’t seek death, you won’t die.

The second child is a model of seeking death. I don’t know who I heard who said that after being poisoned once, he becomes immune to the poison. After being rescued by Jiang Nan, he secretly caught the same snake again, and ended up killing himself again. Poisoned.

After severely criticizing and educating Lao Er, Wu Zhongyuan did not dare to let it roam freely. He kept it nearby and chatted with it. He only knew that Lao Er originally lived in Heiji Mountain and knew nothing about its past. Very few, so I took this opportunity to inquire and deepen my understanding.

The second child is not honest. He has a habit of lying and likes to brag. But apart from him, the other three are all smart people. He can tell whether he is bragging or not, and he can't tell whether he is lying or not. People, the three of them were able to identify which of its words were true and which were false, and soon the three of them figured out its details.

There is a modern joke called Doudou while eating and sleeping. The second child is the role of Doudou in Heiji Mountain. He belongs to the kind of bear and dishonest. Although he is not young, his cultivation is poor and he is often bullied and despised by his tribe. , finally couldn’t survive any longer, so he left Heiji Mountain with the boss, who was not a good bird either.

The second child's biggest wish is to one day be able to practice purple energy, pretend to be miserable and return to Heiji Mountain, reveal his true strength when everyone looks down on him and humiliate him, and leave everyone dumbfounded.

If someone else had said these words, Wu Zhongyuan would definitely have given him a scolding, but the second child is the kind of person who has a rat's tail and can't get thicker no matter how hard he beats it. Not only did he not criticize the second child, but he also kindly reminded it of pretending to be such a low-level person. What things should you pay attention to? First, you have to be hungry for a few days. Your face will look hungry, but not all red. In addition, simply changing into tattered clothes is not enough. You also have to go without a shower for ten and a half days, making your body covered in odor and dirt. In the end, you have to walk back, but you can't fly across the sky. Only by thinking of these details can you possibly hide it from its tribesmen. Otherwise, it will be exposed as soon as you make a move, and you will be laughed at if you fail to show off.

Jiang Nan was opposed to Wu Zhongyuan's advice to the second child. It was too unserious. This was not what a king should do.

But the old blind man didn't take it seriously. Although he was old and downtrodden now, when he was young, he should have been the kind of person who laughed and scolded and loved to play. When Wu Zhongyuan came up with bad ideas, he not only did not stop him, but also occasionally interrupted. He joked and gave advice to the second child, for example, in order to pretend to be more like him, it is best to break his legs and crawl back. He also said that it is easy to make yourself smell bad, and you can sleep in the hut overnight.

The old blind man didn't smile when he was joking, he was half-truthful and half-false, so that the second child couldn't tell whether he was joking or whether he really believed it.

They only joked occasionally, and most of the time no one paid attention to the second child. He couldn't get in the middle of the conversation between the three of them. He felt bored and went elsewhere. There was nothing in the desert for him to relieve his boredom, and there were no living creatures nearby. There is less, it can only go further.

As night fell, the three of them were about to move from the shady side of the hill to the sunny side, and to move their positions, when they discovered that the second child was missing. Wu Zhongyuan called out twice, but there was no answer. He looked around again, but there was no answer.

Unable to find the second child, Wu Zhongyuan began to panic. This guy must have wandered far away and got lost. The consequences of getting lost in the desert are very serious and can only lead to death.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan transformed into a green luan, fluttered his wings and flew high. He looked down from a high altitude to look for him. He might have found the trace of Lao Er. After a short observation, Jiang Nan flapped his wings and headed west.

Seeing that Jiang Nanfei was not in a hurry, Wu Zhongyuan did not follow him. If there was any big change, Jiang Nan would not tell them.

Jiang Nan did not fly very far, no more than ten miles before he hovered in the air, then flapped his wings and flew slowly in a circle.

Wu Zhongyuan had been watching from a distance, and guessed what Jiang Nan was observing based on the behavior of Qingluan she had transformed. Although he was curious, he could not go to check because he was worried about leaving the old blind man alone here.

For more than ten minutes, Jiang Nan never landed and kept looking down.

After observing for a while, Jiang Nan flew back from a distance, floated to the ground, and looked confused.

Seeing that she was just confused and not nervous, Wu Zhongyuan knew that the second child was not in danger, at least not life-threatening.

"What's going on?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"The second child is hiding under the sand, and there is a strange animal chasing him above." Jiang Nan said.

"What kind of animal is it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I've never seen it before," Jiang Nan stretched out his hand to compare. "It's no bigger than a domestic dog. It has four legs and looks like a badger. It has yellow hair on its body. It has very big eyes. It's low in stature. It moves very quickly. It's ten feet apart. It's like a blink of an eye. to."

"Isn't that faster than Feng Xing Shu?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

I thought Jiang Nan had made a mistake in his expression, but I never thought that Jiang Nan actually nodded, "Even with Taixuan cultivation level, his body skills cannot be so fast."

After being stunned, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at the old blind man, "Sir, what is this?"

The old blind man was reminiscing and thinking when he heard Wu Zhongyuan ask a question. He shook his head and did not answer.

When the old blind man didn't answer, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Jiang Nan again, "Is the second child hidden under the sand?"

Jiang Nan nodded, "When it was being chased in a hurry, it has already revealed its original shape. The sand grains are so small that it cannot breathe from below. Every time it shows its head, the yellow-haired monster rushes to attack it."

Hearing Jiang Nan's words, Wu Zhongyuan became more and more confused. What he wondered was not why the monster attacked the second child. The second child was a bitch and must have offended someone. What he was confused about was what this thing was. According to Jiang Nan's description, this thing was not big, similar to a dog. He had seen the original shape of the second child before, it was the size of a calf, and it was also covered in hard armor. Damn, the body shape is so different, why would the second child be afraid of it?

"Wait for me here, I'll go take a look." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Jiang Nan said, "Don't go on foot. The monster moves very fast. Be careful of it hurting you. Call your mount and watch from the sky."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, and Dasha ascended into the sky, carrying him to the west.

It was already dark at this time. When we arrived at the area where Jiang Nan was previously, looking down from a high altitude, we saw neither the monster Jiang Nan mentioned nor the second child.

Just as he was searching intently, he suddenly found an armadillo head emerging from the sand.

The moment the second child showed his head, a yellow shadow rushed towards the second child from a short distance away.

Jiang Nan did not exaggerate. The monster was indeed moving faster than the Feng Xing Technique. It was so fast that smoke erupted on the ground wherever it went.

As soon as Lao Er took a breath, the monster rushed near it. The frightened Lao Er hurriedly shrank his head and moved southeast from under the sand.

The sand is no better than soil. It is too soft and will sink as soon as you dig it. You can't dig a hole to escape. Every time you breathe, you can barely move ten to fifteen feet. Regardless of whether it is ten feet or fifteen feet, as soon as you show your head, That monster can chase him in an instant.

Due to the dim light, the color of the monster's coat was similar to that of sand, so it was difficult to see the appearance of this place from the air. God instructed Dasha to lower his height, and then he could clearly see the true face of this thing.

This thing is not big, a bit like a dog, but more like a badger, with four short legs, big eyes, round shape, and a bit fat. Just looking at it, it doesn't look like an aggressive animal.

The second child has been "lost" for a while, and he doesn't know where this guy provoked such a thing. Since the thing moved very fast, he didn't dare to rush to rescue him. He had to take a closer look and at least find out what the old man was. 2. Why are you afraid of it...
