Chapter 181 Desert Penance
In the vast desert, the wind and sand were raging. The young man in the alchemist's robe slowly walked forward against the wind and sand. The rows of footprints behind him that were deeply sunk in the yellow sand were covered by the wind and sand after a while. Cover up, hide all traces under the desert.
The environment in the Tagore Desert was so harsh that Xiao Yan had not expected it. Under the scorching sun, the yellow sand under his feet was almost like hot iron particles, making every step of his feet make people feel uncomfortable. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.
While walking slowly, the oncoming strong wind mixed with fine sand hit his face, causing some pain. This forced Xiao Yan to keep his fighting spirit running, forming a light fighting spirit film on his face. This way he avoided being disfigured by the wind and sand.
However, although the environment of the great desert is extremely harsh, the fire attribute energy contained in it makes Xiao Yan a lot happy. Perhaps due to the exposure to the sun, the fire attribute energy here is almost higher than that of the Warcraft Mountains The small valley in the middle is a bit more majestic, and the fire attribute energy here is also exceptionally pure and domineering, which is very suitable for Xiao Yan to use to practice purple fire fighting spirit.
Only half a day after entering the desert, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that the purple fire fighting energy flowing in his body was obviously more active and joyful than before.
Walking slowly for nearly a hundred meters again, Xiao Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, licked his dry lips, took out a bottle of water from the ring, drank a few sips, and then He breathed a sigh of relief, took out the sheepskin map, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher, we have not followed the route on the map for the past half day, and now we have avoided the main route up here. Which way should we go first?"
"Well... let's go to the Eastern Flame Mark first." Yao Lao said casually.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan took the map and looked at it for a while, frowned and sighed: "Looking at the distance display above, it will take us at least ten days to reach the flame mark in the east..."
"Hehe, let's go then... In this desert, even walking is a kind of practice!" Looking at Xiao Yan's bitter face, Yao Lao said with a slightly gloating smile.
With a sigh, Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at the huge scorching sun over the desert, cracked his mouth, put the map into the ring, touched the Xuanzhong Ruler behind his back, and couldn't help but smile happily, saying It's strange that although this Xuanzhong ruler is quite large, it is still cold under the scorching sun. It seems that the scorching sun in the sky has not much impact on it. In this way, it also saves Xiao. Yan Lulu was thinking a lot. After all, if he was asked to run around carrying a red-hot iron on his back, he would never do such a stupid thing...
Wiping off the sweat again, Xiao Yan was about to turn around and walk toward the east of the desert when his face suddenly changed slightly. His palm suddenly grasped the heavy ruler, and then he pulled it out fiercely and thrust it into the yellow sand in front of him.
"Hiss!" The heavy ruler was inserted into the yellow sand, and a shrill scream suddenly sounded. Xiao Yan pulled out the heavy ruler with an expressionless face. A ball of bright red blood seeped out on the surface of the yellow sand. He waved his sleeves and robe lightly, and a wave of energy came out. The anger caused a small magical beast under the yellow sand to fly out.
He glanced at this lifeless monster with indifferent eyes. This kind of monster is called the Yellow Sand Scorpion. It can only be encountered in the desert. These things are often hidden in the yellow sand, waiting for people to step on them automatically. And they only need to wait for others to release their venom. Scorpions are extremely good at hiding. Even some humans who walk in the desert all year round are occasionally attacked by them. Therefore, this magical beast is not of the same level, but it is often attacked by humans. Considered one of the most difficult creatures in the desert.
However, no matter how good the Scorpion is at hiding, in the eyes of Xiao Yan, who has extraordinary soul perception, it is undoubtedly like a firefly in the dark night, shining brightly. If you want to sneak attack secretly...hehe, it is basically impossible.
His eyes swept over the devil scorpion, Xiao Yan took two steps forward, cut off its stinger, and put it into the ring. Then he stood up, took some heavy steps, and began to walk slowly towards the east of the desert.
………
The boring and harsh practice in the desert was once again beyond Xiao Yan's expectation. In the past, he didn't feel too lonely practicing in the Warcraft Mountains, but in this vast desert, looking around, he saw the wind and sand raging. Outside, within sight, not to mention human figures, even the shadows of monsters are hard to spot. This feeling of desolation and loneliness is really unbearable.
The day after Xiao Yan entered the Tagor Desert was when the practice officially began. At Yao Lao's request, Xiao Yan was almost only wearing a pair of knee-length shorts, and his upper body was Very straightforward and naked...
Although Xiao Yan wanted to protest against his own image, he was rejected by Yao Lao. His reason was that only by exposing the skin to the sun can it more efficiently absorb the harmful substances contained in the air. of fire attribute energy.
…
On the endless golden desert, a bare-backed figure in shorts was lying on the hot yellow sand with his teeth gritted. Beside him, an old man with a somewhat unreal figure was holding his hand with a smile. There was a small jade bottle filled with red liquid. The mouth of the bottle was tilted slowly, and a few drops of red liquid were poured out on the young man's back, which was tanned by the scorching sun.
"Hiss..." The red liquid dripped on his back, and Xiao Yan's clenched teeth suddenly let out a breath of cold air. He grabbed a handful of yellow sand with both hands, regardless of whether the sand was hot or not.
"This "burning blood" is much more effective when applied externally in the desert than in the Warcraft Mountains. Although this thing is more difficult to prepare, the effect is indeed quite good. In the desert, it can make the skin more resistant to the chemicals in the outside air. Fire energy is more sensitive, and when you practice it, you can get twice the result with half the effort." Using a piece of jade to slowly and gently scrape away the red liquid, Yao Lao looked at the young man clenching his teeth and persisting, and a flash of light flashed across his eyes. With a pleased smile, he explained softly.
Xiao Yan grinned, but his smile was a little ugly. He mumbled and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just go ahead. Anyway, I have almost gotten used to it in the past few days. I don't have any advantages, except that I am adaptable." , Hehe, life is harder than a cockroach."
"However, the results of these few days of practice are really good. I can already feel that the fighting spirit in my body is advancing towards the peak of a one-star fighting master." Xiao Yan waved his palm on the yellow sand and said with some excitement. .
"Haha." He nodded with a smile, and Yao Lao said softly and calmly: "Okay, let's enter the cultivation state. Now is the most suitable time for cultivation. Don't waste your state..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded quickly, stopped talking nonsense, and just turned his back to the scorching sun in the sky. At the same time, he pressed his front against the hot yellow sand. On his face, a Dou Qi film covered it, and then it was like Like an ostrich, he buried his head in the hot sand.
Xiao Yan's weird cultivation posture at this time was specially ordered by Yao Lao, because in this desert, although there is powerful fire attribute energy everywhere, after a day of exposure to the sun, in the yellow sand The fire attribute energy, after precipitation, is purer, so Xiao Yan has this weird ostrich training posture...
After burying his head in the loess, Xiao Yan's senses slowly became silent. The sound of the raging wind and sand around him was also annihilated. His mind gradually returned to his body. Under the observation of his mind, Xiao Yan was able to It was discovered that the "burning blood" liquid smeared on the back was rapidly invading the body under the exposure of the sun. Although the burning pain caused the skin to twitch, the powerful force The pure fire attribute energy still made Xiao Yan feel happy despite the pain.
With the stimulation of the skin by the burning blood, the extremely rich fire energy in the surrounding world seemed to have found its source, and was poured into Xiao Yan's body continuously. After being promoted to a fighting master , Xiao Yan has been able to arrange the incoming energy properly without spending too much effort.
The fire attribute energy is controlled to flow through several meridians. After being refined, the fire attribute energy is poured into the purple cyclone in the lower abdomen.
Cultivation was carried out slowly amidst such boredom and loneliness. When the burning blood on Xiao Yan's back was completely volatilized, a small droplet finally condensed in the purple cyclone. Purple liquid.
The small purple liquid flows happily in the cyclone, like a small fish in a lake, light and active.
Focusing on the newly formed small drop of purple liquid, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. After this period of detection, he vaguely calculated that it seemed that when the small drop of liquid in the cyclone reached about fifteen drops, he would be able to reach The energy required to be promoted to a second-star fighter, and now, there are thirteen drops of the small purple liquid in the cyclone. In other words, if two more drops of the small purple liquid are condensed, then Xiao Yan should be able to be promoted to a second-star fighter. Star Fighter!
"Almost..." There was a soft murmur in his heart, Xiao Yan raised his head suddenly, shook the yellow sand from his hair fiercely, then jumped up from the sand, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Almost! Two-star fighting master!”
Standing aside, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan who was roaring loudly to vent his emotions, smiled slightly, and murmured softly: "Little guy, although your talent is not low, your hard work is the final success." The key...I'm looking forward to the three-year appointment in a few months. She gave you an unforgettable humiliation back then, and now you are qualified to get it back on your own..."
Slowly raising his head, Yao Lao looked at the huge scorching sun, then turned his head to stare at the young man's thin but persistent back, and suddenly smiled faintly.
"Although training is hard, you never give up. All of this is the success you have gained with your own hard work and sweat. I believe that in the future, you will be able to stand at the pinnacle of Dou Qi Continent!"
