infinite blood core

Chapter 55 Optimism and Hope

Needle Jin glanced around, and immediately understood that everyone's heart was floating, and their thoughts and thoughts of the young knight were clear.

As a leader, you can ignore your own injury first, and you have to take care of the entire team first.

Needle Jin knew that in such a desperate situation, watching himself slipping to the end of death step by step, but he had no choice, most people would collapse, go mad or even go mad.

Therefore, he chuckled lightly and said with relief: "Everyone, you should be glad that this golden spear scorpion group treats us as a group of beasts, and the scorpion leader and I will start a duel between king and king. Negative, otherwise the scorpion group will not attack in an all-round way."

"Indeed, we are still alive to this day, and it is all thanks to you, Lord Zhenjin!"

"But that's true..."

"Sooner or later we will..."

While the exploration team members agreed, they hesitated.

Zhen Jin said again: "As long as we are still alive, there is a lot of hope. For example, if we encounter other people, get support, and be saved. Another example is another dust storm that disrupts everything, and another example is teleportation reactivated, we directly Get out of here."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Is Master Zhen Jin too optimistic?
Then everyone spoke up.

"Lord Zhenjin, we have been teleported twice, and we have calculated the time, about half a month. We just teleported a few days ago, and now we want to be teleported again, there is basically no possibility of this."

"If such a terrifying sandstorm blows up again, we will all have more trouble than good luck."

"Now we are trapped in the desert, and we have no idea how big the desert is or where it is. Who can rescue us? This possibility is too small."

Everyone opened their mouths in twos and threes, and their expressions were very depressed.

Zhen Jin kept smiling: "But it's still possible, isn't it? When you were trapped in the sand dunes, did you ever think that you would be rescued by me? After I joined you, did you ever think that the scorpions would meet? to help us?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay again, fell into silence for a while, and had to admit that Zhen Jin's words had some truth.

"So, don't give up hope at any time." Zhen Jin sighed and said earnestly, "As long as we keep hope at all times and don't give up on ourselves, then before death really comes, there is still hope and possibility to live!"

"You are right, my lord."

"With adults there, we have hope!"

Everyone's eyes brightened slightly, and their morale was boosted by needle gold.

But Zhen Jin immediately changed the topic: "However, it is not the behavior of the brave to only hope for help and change from outside. It is more reliable for us to save ourselves."

Zhen Jin glanced around, his eyes paused slightly on Zidi, and finally settled on Cang Xu: "Old scholar, what are your thoughts?"

The medicine on Zi Di was almost exhausted, and the strongest medicine powder could release a thick green acid mist.But after trying many times before, the acid mist is useless to the scorpion swarm.

The desert is very barren, Zidi is seriously lacking in materials, and she cannot prepare new medicines.

Therefore, Zhen Jin is more looking forward to Cang Xu's performance.

Cang Xu noticed the expectant gaze of Zhen Jin, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Lord Zhen Jin, I don't have any way to change the situation. In fact, I have always been very puzzled. Why is this scorpion chasing the adults? They are in The biggest threat to life here is probably those green-skinned lizards. But they have spared the defeated lizards, and they have to chase after the adults. According to the adults, the golden granite is the food of these scorpions. They do not eat Meat. But the scorpion always has us as the number one target, which is very unreasonable."

Someone muttered: "What common sense is there to pay attention to in such a ghost place?"

"Perhaps it was when Lord Zhenjin was provoking this group of scorpions, he caused them huge damage and made these scorpions extremely hate adults, so they kept chasing after them and never gave up."

Zhen Jin shook his head: "I did kill a few scorpions, but it's definitely not comparable to the casualties caused by the green-skinned lizards to the scorpions. As for the silver war scorpion, I fought with it. The wound on the arm is just It caused it, and my blade left a white mark on its skull."

"It seems that we have to kill a spear scorpion, dissect its corpse, and see its body structure clearly before we can understand the hidden secrets." Cang Xu gave his suggestion.

He has a point of view - the structure of organisms, to a large extent, determines the habits of organisms.

Zhen Jin agrees with this point of view, in fact, he has benefited a lot from this in the process of past exploration and survival.

It's just that the scorpion swarm is right in front of you, and it is very risky to kill the scorpion for dissection.

Now it's king versus king, the scorpions don't attack, but every time they watch the showdown between the leader and the needle gold.If the expedition team rashly attacked one of the scorpions and dissected it, how would the group of scorpions react?

It is very likely that a group attack will be launched, and the exploration team with only a few people will be easily destroyed by the scorpion group.

It's too risky to attack and kill ordinary spear scorpions rashly.

Need for a good time for the needle gold team.

The sun went down slowly.

It is no longer impossible to look directly, and hangs in the western sky like a round iron block that has been burnt red after being baked.

Daylight dimmed, and the barren desert turned a sallow color.

Needle Jin and others walked in the desert.

Everyone is haggard, with chapped lips, puffy eye circles, hungry stomach, and sore legs and feet.

Food and water have started to be supplied in minimum quantities.

The scorpions hang far behind them.

Along the way, they frantically searched for something to eat together.But the little worm and the little lizard were scared away by the scorpions long ago. Even if they encountered a few plants, the expedition team members had no choice but to give up under the reminder of Cangshu.

These sporadic plants grow alone in the desert. Their branches and leaves are thin and thin, their roots are developed, and they penetrate deep into the ground.

None of these plants can be eaten, and some of them also carry toxins. Once they are stabbed and bleed, they will be poisoned.

Cang Xu recognized these plants, so that no one dared to dig, saving everyone's physical strength.

When night fell, Zhu Jin and others saw huge stones.

This is a group of golden granite.

The explorers were not surprised.

The road is led by Zhenjin. This place is the natural camp where Zhenjin once perched at night, and it is also the first destination for their escape this time.

With Jin Ma Shi heating, Zhen Jin and others can survive the cold and biting desert night.

They can even place dry food on granite and heat it up before eating.

In other places, without granite, they would have to make a fire for heating.

Fire needs materials, and there is too little wood in the desert.If they want to start a fire, I am afraid they will have to burn their own clothes as fuel.

Here, they don't have the trouble of having to make a fire, saving a lot of survival resources.

Food and water are the most important survival resources. Clothes on the body can keep out the cold and avoid sunburn. They are also an important survival resource.

The night wind blew slowly across his face.

Moonlight shines on the desert.

Standing on a piece of almost the largest golden granite, Zhu Jin withdrew his gaze from afar.

Although the scorpion group also entered this golden and granite group, but like Zhen Jin and the others, they shrank their team and squatted in a corner to rest at ease, without the slightest intention to attack.

Jin Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

This situation is more favorable to him.

Ordinary people's vision is greatly limited at night, and there is no need for vindictive needles to assist, and today is no exception.

Compared with humans, beasts, especially the predators among them, have excellent night vision capabilities.

As for how far these spear scorpions can be seen at night, needle gold is not clear.

Just in case, the vigil will never be missing.

Jumping off the golden stone, Zhen Jin found Cang Xu kneeling on the ground, squinting his eyes, staring at the map in his hand.

Although there is no fire, the moon is hanging high tonight, and the light is still good.

From time to time, Cang Xu was still using his fingers to draw some lines on the sand.

Sensing that Zhen Jin came to him, Cang Xu raised his head and continued to draw lines on the sand.

"My lord, I'm speculating on our location, the size of this desert, and the direction of the oasis." Cang Xu explained without raising his head.

Needle Jin nodded: "Is there any progress?"

"Well, my lord, you must understand that this work is difficult." The old scholar sighed deeply, "We lack enough information. We don't know how big this island is, how big is this desert, Where is the island? We were teleported to the desert before, and we were fortunate enough to find the oasis. But the desert lacks landmarks, and there is no way to judge how far the road we have traveled is from the oasis.”

"If the sun and moon are not man-made, what we observe is true, and the route of travel has not changed, then our direction can at least be determined."

"If the owner of the island doesn't interfere too much, then the island should still be a natural terrain. Most islands are high in the center and low in the edge. So, if you find a river and go downstream, theoretically you can To the sea. But we're in the desert now..."

At the end, the old scholar sighed again: "I'm sorry, my lord, I can't give you more help. The current situation is quite bad, I think we need luck, enough good luck!"

"Yeah." Zhen Jin sighed.

The teenager looked sad and described his current situation: "We have very little food, we can only last for two days at most, and it's all a minimum supply."

"More troublesome are the scorpions, and it's hard for us to get rid of them."

"I have to remind you one more thing, my lord." Cang Xu added, "The danger that scorpions bring to us is not just death itself. They always follow us, which is a cunning and insidious hunting technique. Just like red sand The red-haired porcupines in the Gobi, facing large prey, will shoot thorn arrows and chase the prey, causing the prey to continuously lose blood during vigorous exercise, continue to weaken, and eventually lose resistance.”

"Perhaps the scorpion is using this tactic."

"Even if the scorpion swarms do not fully attack, and there is not enough food supplement, we will become weaker and weaker."

"It's not just our bodies that are weak, but our hearts as well."

"After being chased by scorpions for a long time, our pressure will increase and we will become more and more vulnerable. For ordinary people to survive in an extreme environment, what they need most is to maintain hope and peace of mind."

"I know a lot of records, the seemingly harmless mirage in the desert is actually very dangerous. Survivors who fall into the desert, once they do not discover the truth of the mirage, experience the huge gap between hope and disappointment, it is very easy to collapse and give up on themselves. The principles that he abides by on weekdays, even give up his own life."
