infinite blood core

Chapter 72 Hunger and Knight Glory ([-] in [-])

It's noon.

Over the yellow desert, the scorching sun hangs high.

A wave of heat waves continued to hit, and the gravel under my feet was terrifyingly hot.

Hunger, thirst and lack of energy make people dizzy.

Cangxu and Zidi staggered when they walked, and a few times, the two of them almost fell to the ground when their knees and legs went weak.

In view of this, Zhu Jin and others had to hide in the shadow of the dunes to rest.

Bai Ya was still in a coma, and the remaining three were breathing hard.

It seemed that the gods had a rare pity on these poor people—the wind was blowing in the desert.

Although the wind is not strong, but it has eliminated a bit of the heat.

Under the blowing of the wind, the windward side of the sand slope is swept away by fine sand, while the backside of the sand slope is filled with quicksand.

The gravel flow made a rustling sound, and everyone in the rest could not appreciate the beauty of the emptiness of the sound itself.

A lot of physical energy has been consumed, making Zhen Jin and others feeling very tormented on an empty stomach.

Zhen Jin felt that his chest was against his back with hunger.

As soon as he entered the shadows on the back of the dune, he put the comatose White Buds on the ground.

When he first set off, he was carrying Bai Ya, and he didn't think it was a heavy burden.But now, he felt like he was carrying an elephant on his back.

The burden disappeared, and Jin Jin suddenly felt relieved.

He didn't forget to check Bai Ya's status.

"I have a high fever again." Zhen Jin's eyes dimmed.

Bai Ya's condition was repeated, very bad.

Zhen Jin wanted to help him, but Bai Ya had already used Zidi's medicine.

If there is enough food and water, the body of the white bud can get a good nutritional supplement.

But the current situation is that these people just drank a few sips of water on the way, and did not eat at all.

In this regard, needle gold is really helpless.

He could only open the mouth of the water bag, opened Bai Ya's mouth, and poured a small amount of water into it.

The water is already divided into three equal parts, and everyone has a water bag.What needle gold gave to Bai Ya was his own share.

Cang Xu and Zidi watched Zhen Jin do this, but didn't speak.

They were both slumped on the ground, motionless, not wanting to speak at all, or not even having the strength to speak.

Zhen Jin also remained silent.

He sat quietly, feeling like an hourglass, his physical energy was like grains of sand, falling into his body one by one, accumulating and storing up.

Since waking up on this island, Jin Jin has never been so thirsty as he is now.

The closest he came was the day he broke free from being buried in the sand.But at that time, he had food—a desert viper with no eyes.

Now Zhenjin is looking at the yellow desert, looking at the vast sky and earth, very much looking forward to something similar to a viper attacking him.

Once, he had just wiped out the flying squirrel group, and had subordinates who had food and a heart.It was teleported that night, and all the hard work turned into a bubble.He emerged from the bottom of the sand and was attacked by a viper, and his heart was full of grief.

But now, he was sitting on the gravel, recalling the scene in the past, but he felt that the attack of the viper might be a gift from nature, or the mercy of the gods.

There was a sudden enlightenment in Zhen Jin's heart.

"Haha." He couldn't help but chuckle.

The voice aroused doubts in Zi Di and Cang Xu.

Aware of the gazes of the two, Zhen Jin explained: "There are many times, many times, when the blow and torture of fate happened to me. Every time, I thought I had suffered the heaviest suffering in the world. "

"However, in fact, it's not."

"There is no such thing as the most difficult time. In life, there will be more tormented hardships."

"Now, my situation is more difficult than when I was attacked by a viper. Maybe in the future, I will be more embarrassed."

Zi Di was silent.

They had exchanged information long ago, and the girl knew what happened to Zhen Jin after she was separated.

Cang Xu also laughed.

"My lord, after hearing what you said, I am inexplicably relieved."

"Your mentality is no longer optimistic, but open-minded."

Zidi thoughtfully and said softly: "Misery is a kind of wealth. The difference is whether people can dig these wealth out of suffering."

Zhen Jin recalled the scenes he had experienced on the island since he woke up, especially the magic core in his heart: "If that's the case, then I'm a millionaire."

The conversation ends here.

After talking about these few words, everyone immediately felt tired and deepened.

They remained silent for a long time.

Time passed, and the power of the vicious sunlight weakened.

Zhenjin had a white bud on his back, and continued on his way with Zidi and Cangxu.

Their luck turned for the better.

On the next journey, they found a dead sausage, and found many spiders and scorpions, the latter of which became precious food.

They also found a desert lizard and a desert jerboa.

This jerboa is just an ordinary beast. It is small in size, similar to an ordinary mouse, with wide ears and very sensitive hearing.It has a very desert-like yellow fur.Its hind limbs are well developed, and with a light jump, it can jump a distance of one or two meters.

After Zhujin chased, its body was put into Zhujin's pocket.

The lizard and jerboa didn't eat immediately, and the rest basically went into Cangbeu and Zidi's mouths.

Nonetheless, these supplements simply did not keep up with their physical consumption, so they had to stop and rest several times in the middle.

The efficiency of the march was greatly reduced, and when night fell, everyone did not arrive at the destination - the golden stone group.

Cang Xu looked at the surrounding terrain, looked at the stars, and drew a map on the gravel.

"I don't know much about astrology. But the surrounding terrain has become familiar. We have only been in and out of the lava landscape for a few days, and the dune terrain should not change much."

"So, we are not far from the Jinma Stone Group."

"Tomorrow morning, you can arrive after a short walk."

"Let's rest here tonight, my lord, we can't go any further."

The old scholar sighed, his white beard quivering in the night wind.

Zidi and Cang Xu knew the benefits of rushing to the Jinmashi Group, but they couldn't move anymore.

In fact, needle gold is not much better.

The young knight nodded: "We have the firewood obtained after cutting the Salix willows. It is very cold at night in the desert, but we can light a bonfire to deal with the night."

The sparks collided with each other, the firewood was extremely dry, and the bonfire burned smoothly.

The crowd sat around the bonfire.

The bodies of the little lizard and the jerboa were pierced by two wooden bars, which were carried by needles and gold, allowing them to be heated and grilled on the fire.

Smelling the aroma of the barbecue, Zi Di couldn't help rolling her Adam's apple.

"This must be the most delicious delicacy in the world!" Zidi said, eagerness in her eyes.

Cang Xu also stared at the two pieces of roasted meat. He looked away with difficulty and grabbed a handful of sand under him: "I look at these pieces of sand now, and I think they are very cute. They are so cute that I can't help it. I want to swallow them."

Zidi laughed and said with a deep sympathy: "I think those black volcanic lava, they are very similar to fluffy, baked chocolate bread."

"I've seen some historical records that there was a famine in the empire, and many of the refugees ate soil and killed themselves."

"I understand their feelings very well now. Hunger can really drive people crazy. They don't think about anything, they only think about eating. When they see anything, they want to take a bite, eat grass, soil and sand."

Cang Xu let out a sigh: "It is true that some people eat soil. The southeast and southwest coasts of the empire suffer from famine every few years. The refugees by the sea collect the soil, mix it with butter and salt, and make mud biscuits."

"The Shata family once sent me to deliver a batch of relief supplies. I also tasted these mud biscuits when I arrived there."

"Speaking of which, the texture of this mud biscuit is actually very delicate. But when you eat it, you will feel the unique wet taste of the sea."

"These mud biscuits are basically the size of an adult's palm, and refugees will spread these biscuits on the ground and expose them to the sun."

"I just took a small sip, and the muddy smell stayed in my mouth for hours."

"The local refugees eat these foods for a long time, and the elderly and children eat it. Therefore, they are all skinny and have chronic diarrhea. Almost every day, a child dies from diarrhea."

"You know what? When I was on the road during the day, I swore: But now if there are mud biscuits, I'd like to eat them until I can't eat them!"

While flipping the meat skewer in his hand, Zhen Jin asked, "Speaking of digestion ability... Mr. Cangsu, how is the digestion ability of beasts? What kind of beasts have the strongest digestion ability?"

Cang Xu pondered: "Compared with humans, the digestion ability of beasts is very powerful."

"Hyenas are notorious for eating bones, so almost all the corpses visited by hyenas are boneless."

"The bearded vulture has a highly corrosive digestive juice, and it is very easy to digest bones and marrow."

"A python swallows food raw, whether it's a crocodile or a baby elephant, it can be digested."

"Generally speaking, birds have the strongest digestive ability. They eat insects, and the digestion time only takes 15 minutes. Foods such as berries can be excreted in 10 to [-] minutes. Some seabirds eat fish, and some fish have just swallowed them." , the fish tail is still in the mouth, and the fish head has been dissolved in the stomach."

"How about the digestion ability of the spear scorpion?" Zhen Jin asked again.

Cang Xu said: "Very powerful! The spear scorpion is a magical beast, and its own ability exceeds that of ordinary beasts. It can eat metal, has an extremely powerful digestion ability, and can completely dissolve and decompose metal. According to my anatomy, the digestion speed is also very fast , it only takes about 5 minutes to digest the eaten metal stones."

Zhen Jin nodded and stopped talking.

When the jerboa and the lizard's kebabs and barbecues were almost heated, Zhen Jin's expression suddenly changed, and he listened intently.

This action immediately aroused the vigilance of Zi Di and Cang Xu.

"There is movement." Zhen Jin's face darkened slightly.

Zidi and Cang Xu didn't hear anything, but they knew that Zhen Jin was a practitioner of Dou Qi, and his physical quality was far superior to ordinary people, and it was normal to hear some noises.

"You eat first, and I'll be vigilant and drive out or kill any beasts that may exist."

"Try to stay where you are and don't move."

Zhen Jin took care of the two of them, handed them the meat skewers, and stood up slowly.

"Sir, you must be careful." Zidi was extremely concerned.

Zhen Jin nodded and walked quickly, and the figure quickly disappeared into the night.

He first circled around and confirmed that there were no traces of beasts, then he aimed in one direction and ran quickly.

No longer carrying the white buds, nor the purple pedicles or the blue beards to slow down the speed, the needle gold soon came to the Jinmashi group.

The Jinma Stone Group is also very safe, and there is no gun scorpion activity.

Zhen Jin took a deep breath, and there was a hint of hesitation on his face.

But soon, he made up his mind.

He started to undress.

Soon, he took off all his clothes and became naked.

The next moment, he activated the core of his heart, and his whole body glowed red.

The rich red light covered his face and body, leaving only the red outline of a human figure.

Then soon, the red human-shaped outline collapsed like a stream of water and turned into a scorpion-shaped outline.

The red light subsided, and the needle gold in place was gone, replaced by a spear scorpion.

The breath of life at the silver level overflowed.

Needle Jin has become a gun scorpion leader!
This was the first time he had undergone a complete body mutation, and there was no trace of a human being on his body.

It's actually quite risky to do so, but Jin Jin had to do it.

He is so hungry.

He is at least a silver-level vindictive practitioner, and the only two servings of meat skewers are of no use at all.In fact, even if Zi Di ate them all, he would not be full.

Therefore, the needle gold decided to take another approach.

Lambstone is not human food.

Then, he turns into a complete gun scorpion and try it out.

The feeling of needle gold at the moment has undergone dramatic changes.

The night was not so dark for him.With the help of Gun Scorpion's eyes, he was able to see very far in the dark.

The spear scorpion does not have only one pair of eyes. The main eye is directly in front of the scorpion's head, while the two pairs of attached eyes are distributed on both sides of the spear scorpion's head.

Therefore, Zhenjin's vision at the moment is very broad.

The gun scorpion also has a good sense of smell, and the needle gold immediately smelled a strong fragrance.

He soon discovered that the scent came from the granite around him.

People can't smell anything from the granite, at most it is a stone or metal smell.But at this moment, the needle gold, which has become a gun scorpion, smells a wonderful aroma that has never been smelled before.

This wonderful aroma immediately tempted Zhu Jin to raise the scorpion tail behind him.

The scorpion tail shot out of electricity, piercing the golden stone.

Zhen Jin used his claws like giant pincers, and cooperated with the scorpion tail to smash the pitted granite into many pieces.

Cheliped crushes the fragments and places them in the mouthparts of the scorpion.

Needle Gold Chew.

"Oh oh oh!"

"good to eat!"

"It's like a chocolate-flavored cookie. It's crunchy and has a silky finish."

Needle Jin almost cried out.

It turns out that for the gun scorpion, Jinmashi is such a delicacy!

The taste system of gun scorpions is different from that of full humans.

Needle gold eats and chews constantly.

He is very hungry.

After eating two pieces of gold and granite in a row, he stopped.

He lay on the ground in the form of a spear scorpion, and remained motionless for a while, making sure that all the gold and granite in his body had been digested.

A numb, sore and itchy feeling began to appear all over the body.

"What's going on?" Zhen Jin felt strange, obviously he had been paying attention to his internal organs, and digesting Jin Ma Shi was very smooth and thorough.

"Could it be that?"

Zhenjin's heart suddenly flashed.

He thought of what Cang Xu had said, to the effect that the spear scorpion ate the golden granite, which could absorb the metal in the stone and make its scorpion shell stronger.

Needle Gold immediately flicked the scorpion tail and stabbed the shell on his back.

However, they are all part of the body of needle gold, the scorpion tail and the scorpion shell have the same strength, and can't cause any damage.

Zhen Jin mobilized the core and restored the human form, but kept the scorpion shell on his chest.

Perhaps because there was only this small piece of scorpion shell left, the numb and itchy feeling concentrated on his chest, and it became extremely intense.

The five fingers of the needle gold turned into a spider blade and stabbed sharply towards the chest.

The brand-new spider blade is very sharp, piercing the scorpion shell and making cuts one by one.

Immediately, the numbness and itchiness that Jin Jin couldn't bear was relieved.

But after a few breaths, the strange feeling became stronger again.

Zhu Jin looked at his chest and found that most of the wound on the scorpion shell on his chest had healed.

There was a look of joy on Jin Jin's face.

Because, he has proved his conjecture is right.

He immediately stabbed himself in the chest with the spider blade again.

Poke again and again, poked a lot of small holes.

The scorpion shell healed quickly again and again, and the numbness and itching gradually weakened, and finally disappeared completely.

Zhen Jin touched his chest and found that the newly grown scorpion shell was a little stronger than before.

"This should be the reason why that silver spear scorpion is chasing me."

"It turns out that it wants to be beaten and injured!"

"I led them to the golden granite group before and let them eat again, but I harmed myself."

Realizing this truth, the joy on Zhen Jin's face disappeared, replaced by a wry smile full of helplessness.

Zhen Jin didn't stay too long. After he was full, he immediately rushed back.

Return to the bonfire and see Zidi and Cangshu.

The jerboa and lizard kebabs were already grilled, but neither Zidi nor Cangshu ate, even though they were very hungry.

"Sir, eat it."

"Lord Zhenjin, don't make senseless humility. Only if you have enough physical strength can you ensure the safety of all of us, right? Even if we have enough physical strength, we can't deal with the ferocious beasts."

Although Zidi and Cang Xu were very hungry, they still agreed and tried their best to persuade Zhen Jin to eat these two meat skewers.

Of course Zhen Jin refused, he was already full.

The two sides pushed each other, but this time Zi Di and Cang Xu were very firm.

Zhen Jin had to change his face: "My physical strength is still sufficient, and my physical condition is much better than the two of you. You are eating too little food. If you don't eat these, you may not be able to make it through tonight. These firewood are very good. Might not last a night."

Having said that, Zhen Jin stared at Zidi affectionately: "I said, I will protect you until the end of my life."

Afterwards, the young man looked at Cang Xu again: "Old scholar, even if you don't want to depend on me or be my subordinate, I will do my best to save you. I once swore that I would do my best to save everyone. Including you, White buds are also included."

"Do you want me to break my oath? Damage my knight's glory?" Zhen Jin's expression became very solemn.

Zidi and Cang Xu both looked at Zhen Jin and felt like his whole body was shining with holy light. For a time, both of them were shaken physically and mentally, and they didn't make a sound.

"belch."

At this moment, Zhen Jin couldn't help but hiccup.

Cang Beard, Zi Di: ? ? ?
