The Calm Life of the Best Skull

Chapter 39 Scarlet Desert

Although the cave behind the waterfall looks huge, as it goes deeper, the space inside becomes narrower and narrower.The light is almost impenetrable at the back, and everything but darkness is still darkness.

Fortunately, the guardian had prepared a kind of rush grass similar to a magic lamp in advance. As long as a certain amount of magic power was poured into it, the rush grass that looked like a small lampshade would emit a shining light.Although the range of illumination is not large, at least it allows people to see what is under their feet.

The road surface in the entire cave showed an upward trend, the guardian opened the way in front, and Xiao Bo followed behind with Xiu on his back.The air here is very humid, and the jagged stone walls are covered with moss-like plants, which feel greasy to the touch.But Di Feila didn't care about the nausea anymore, he lowered his head and stepped on the potholed rocky ground, closely following the people in front.

Water droplets splashed down from the top of the cave, and Xiao Bo didn't know how long they walked. Anyway, they took a few breaks along the way, ate some wild fruit to rest their stomachs, and then continued on the road.

This tunnel was so deep that there was no end in sight, and the rocky slope under his feet became more and more steep. Several times, De Feila almost fell to the ground and couldn't get up.In order to take care of the only normal human being, the Guardian had to slow down his progress.

After walking around like this for a long time, Xiu occasionally woke up a few times, but soon fell asleep again in a daze.He is not like Xiao Bo, a pervert who can still be alive and kicking after drinking so much water of life.

Most people are enough to drink a little. How can anyone drink a bottle like Xiao Bai.If it wasn't for Xiu's special physique, he would have been beaten to death by Xiao Bai in a daze...

The originally humid air in the cave began to dry slowly without knowing it, and Xiao Bo could even faintly feel a sultry air blowing down from above. This subtle change made him feel refreshed.

Although Xiao Bo didn't get into such a mess like De Feila along the way, he was exhausted enough.After all, there is still a difference between growing flesh and not growing flesh, not to mention that he has a dead wolf cub on his back.If he doesn't come out of this ghost place again, I'm afraid he will fall down in a short time with Xiao Bai's physical strength.

A ray of light penetrated from the top of the front, and the guardian extinguished the rushes in his hand, speeding up.Xiao Bo paused, and then followed out in a hurry.

In an instant, the glare from outside forced Xiao Bai to close his eyes.Even though he hadn't completely walked out of the cave, waves of scalding heat had already hit his face one after another, making it suffocating.

"We're out." The flat voice didn't fluctuate at all, the guardian looked around, and then fixed his eyes on Xiao Bai.

The howling wind blows the yellow sand flying all over the sky, and the boundless red desert in front of it is as magnificent as a sea of ​​fire under the scorching sun.

When Xiao Bo finally got used to the light, he opened his eyes and saw this scene.He was taken aback for a moment, and then his face gradually became gloomy.

With a plop, Di Feila, who finally crawled out from behind, went limp and sat on the ground weakly.He stared blankly at the yellow sand all over his eyes, and his face was extremely pale.

"Scarlet Desert!" Di Feila murmured to himself in a daze. He couldn't imagine that this rumored "purgatory on earth" would really appear in front of him one day.

"Scarlet Desert?" Perhaps it was the first time he heard such a fresh term, and the guardian looked curiously at De Fera, who was already sweating profusely on the ground.

"You don't know the Scarlet Desert?!" Xiao Bo gritted his teeth and glared at the guardian who didn't know whether he really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.Just out of the ghost forest where birds don't shit or lay eggs, now they come out and jump into the most famous "fire pit" in history, play him!

Seeing Xiao Bo's reaction so intensely, the guardian couldn't help but shook his head in confusion. It stayed inside for many years, and it basically taught the outside world through Sistina. After the other party left, it only got information from the outside world. It was completely broken.Furthermore, the Scarlet Desert was formed much later than the Death Forest and the Frozen Forest, so it was reasonable that it didn't know.

"This is a famous dead place in the northwest desert. The temperature inside is almost beyond the temperature that the human body can withstand. As long as you stand on this sand dune for a day, you are guaranteed to be roasted to half-cooked!"

Xiao Bo twitched the corners of his mouth, and his voice was a bit cold: "And the most important thing is not this problem, the problem is that there will be a sandstorm every night, and every time the terrain of these dunes will become completely different from the last one. In addition to this desert There is nothing iconic in it, and there will be mirages in the high heat at noon, so it is easy to cause people to get lost in this vast expanse of blood sand!"

The guardian stared at Xiao Bai blankly, as if he hadn't digested all the information the other party threw out at once.

Xiao Bo's eyelids twitched slightly, showing an unbearable look at this guy's slowness: "In short, it is as difficult as going to heaven for us to get out of this ghost place!"

Don't say that Xiao Bo himself is a road idiot, the others are probably not much better, let alone this guardian who doesn't even know the Scarlet Desert.Looking up at the boundless fire-colored sand sea, Xiao Bai really wanted to cry, but if nothing else happened, it would take them years and years to get out of this ghostly place!

"We, let's go back and think of a way..." Di Feila uttered with difficulty. He was already unbearably hot, and he looked as if he had just been dragged out of the water.Anyway, the blood-colored desert in front of me might not be able to get out, so it's better to go back to the forest inside, at least the environment there is more than a thousand times better than here.

Reminded by Di Feila, Xiao Bo subconsciously looked at the guardian next to him: "Aside from this exit, is there no other way out?"

The guardian shook his head helplessly: "The terrain of the place where I live is very unique. If you go out of the outer forest, there is an abyss. Therefore, unless there is a magic door of space to connect to the outside world, there is no other extra channel to go out." , it seemed to have thought of something, and then added: "Sistina also left from here back then."

Frowning involuntarily, Xiao Bai opened his mouth and was about to say something when Fat Tian, ​​lying on his shoulders, suddenly jumped up and screamed softly.The guardian turned his head aware of it, but saw that the sand layer on the ground in front of him rose rapidly, and then a huge sandworm covered with fire scales twisted its thick body like a snake, and got out in vain.

Seeing this third-level fire sand worm, Xiao Bo couldn't help but secretly cursed that this place deserves to be a 'fire pit', and even the worms here are dozens of times larger than those from other places.

"Don't stand still, kill this guy!" In a blink of an eye, the guardian next to him was still in place, as if he was a new alien in front of the rather novel research.Xiao Bo was immediately furious, the only one of them with combat power was this guardian, if this guy didn't do anything, they would have to give him teeth.

The guardian was brought back to his senses by Xiao Bo's cry, and seeing the sandworm's bloody mouth open towards them, it immediately realized something was wrong.The hands quickly made a knot, and several vines were pulled out from the sand in an instant. Before the sandworm in front had time to get close, it was already pierced by the sharp vines.

"Please react faster next time." Although he was not injured this time, Xiao Bai was still shocked by the danger just now and broke into a cold sweat.After all, now that he has become a human being, he is simply an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken. If he does not rely on the protection of that guardian, even if a hundred of him rush up, they will be food for others.

Of course, if it is really a last resort, Xiao Bai can only change back into a skeleton.But it's really not worthwhile to turn back into a skeleton at this time, because the water of life he drank has still settled in his stomach and hasn't been digested. God knows if he turns back to a skeleton state at this time, will these precious water of life be wasted? Lose.

In addition, the whole physical body also consumes quite a lot of mental power, so Xiao Bo is too lazy to change back until the critical moment of life and death.Anyway, the perverted thug Guardian is useless...

"Let's go." Now that we have reached this point, we can only bite the bullet.

The sun is not very strong now, take advantage of this time, first go out and find a sheltered place for the night.As for the hole in the back, it is impossible to drill back. The place is too narrow and steep, and it is impossible to rest well.If the guardian said that Sistina also went out from here, then it doesn't make sense that so many of them can't get out.

Seeing that Xiao Bo said to leave, De Feila's face turned pale again: "Wait, wait... let's take a break first." De Feila had to grit his teeth and make a sound. It is thankful that Lie Yang didn't pass out after being exposed to the sun.It was simply impossible for him to continue on his way.

Xiao Bo looked back at Di Feila, and finally turned his gaze to the guardian helplessly: "Take him for a while." After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on the sand dunes in front again. Under the sand layer, I am afraid that there are still many sandworms...

The guardian wrapped a vine around De Fera's waist, and almost dragged her on the road.Xiao Bo didn't know which direction to go, but this ghostly place was full of sand, so there was no difference at all.So Xiao Bai simply chose a direction at random, and the group continued on the road against the scorching sun.

Fortunately, this time the guardian was ordered by Xiao Bo to drive away those 'troubles' in the sand, otherwise the journey would have been really difficult.

The red sand was so hot that it was scorched by the sun, stepping on it was like stepping into a fire pit, Xiao Bo was panting from exhaustion, and the surrounding air was distorted by layers of heat waves.

Xiu on his back never woke up once, and he slept really comfortably.The one who caused Xiao Bo to do hard work, cursed this little wolf cub in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, until the sun began to shrink the radiance little by little, Xiao Bai finally felt a little better.But this feeling disappeared soon after the sun set from the horizon...

At this moment, the sky and the earth seem to be connected together, and the dark sky above the head is covered with dots of starlight, but what does not match this beauty in the desert is that the increasingly strong wind begins to roll the sand and gravel around.

Xiao Bo looked at the vast sea of ​​sand all around, and felt the cold air descending in vain, and could not help but curse secretly.Stopped the guardian in front who wanted to continue walking: "You find a way to get out of the wind-shielded space, otherwise we may either be swept into the sky by a sandstorm tonight, or be frozen into popsicles."

The guardian squinted his eyes and looked at the increasingly powerful dust in front, then nodded, put down Di Feila, who had already passed out from exhaustion, and supported it with both hands, and the transparent barrier immediately opened and wrapped it Everyone present.

Feeling that Feng Jin was blocked outside the barrier, Xiao Bo breathed a sigh of relief.However, I couldn't help but marvel at the abnormality of this guardian, because at the end of the day, this guy is the busiest, not only to deal with those monsters that attack them from time to time, but also to protect everyone's safety.

At least along the way, Xiao Bo hardly saw the other party really stop.With such intensive use of magic and spiritual power, not to mention the current Xiao Bo, I am afraid that even a ninth-level great sage cannot withstand such a toss.However, seeing the guardian's normal demeanor, Xiao Bo couldn't help feeling that his pediatrics was not on the same level as this pervert at all!

Putting Xiu on his back on the ground, Xiao Bo touched his forehead and found that the other person's body temperature had become normal.But why is he still not sober, Xiao Bo was a little puzzled, he stretched out his hand to pinch Xiu's cheek.

Xiu frowned, Xiao Bo immediately let go of his hand, watching the little wolf cub's frown slowly loosen, Xiao Bo stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek again.Well, although Xiao Bo didn't want to admit that this was an act of revenge in a disguised form, but he had spent so much time reciting this little wolf cub for a long time, but seeing that the other party could still fall asleep so comfortably, he felt uncomfortable up...

After pinching and loosening several times, Xiu's cheeks were obviously reddened.Xiao Bo still wanted to continue, but the people on the ground suddenly opened their eyes.

Xiao Bo was taken aback for a moment, and quickly withdrew his claws, showing a tooth-piercing and calm smile: "Oh, I finally woke up!"

Xiu pursed his lips and did not speak, but stared at Xiao Bai with a pair of fire-breathing eyes, as if wishing to burn two holes in that elegant face.

The guardian looked at the two people on the opposite side in surprise, then looked at Defera who was also unconscious on the ground, and then stretched out a hand in a dignified manner, pinching Defera's cheek...

"what--"

A scream immediately attracted Xiao Bo's attention, and he looked up in surprise, only to see the guardian staring at his hand with piercing eyes, while Defera on the ground covered her cheek in pain, wailing endlessly .

At this time, Xiu was completely awake. He slowly sat up with his hands propped up, and after glancing at the guardian, he shot at Xiao Bo like a knife: "Who is she?" It's a question.

Xiao Bo couldn't help being stunned for a moment, to be honest, he didn't know how to describe the identity of the guardian.Because the cause of this matter is a bit complicated, it is really hard to explain it all at once.

Seeing that Xiao Bo didn't speak for a long time, Xiu's face became more and more gloomy.Does this bastard always take advantage of his inattention to kidnap some messy guys? Last time it was Di Naisa and Di Feila, so this time this almost unbelievably beautiful woman was arrested again. Why use it? !

If Xiao Bo knew what Xiu was thinking in his heart, he might not know whether to laugh or cry, but the guardian is not a hot potato he dared to grab, he would not even have time to throw it away.It's clear that people want to follow up...

However, does this little wolf cub need to stare at him like this, making Xiao Bo seem to be stealing someone behind his back.Feeling chilled by his own thoughts, Xiao Bo collected himself and coughed a few times: "It's called... Old Vine, yes, it's Old Vine. The new adventurer member in our team, about its origin, let me know. Tell you slowly..."
