Welcome to the lock demon tower

The three of them walked for another hour with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The deeper they went, the more bright and orange the color of the sand became.

At the beginning, you can still see some drought-loving vegetation, named Haloxylon and camel thorns, and various unnamed cacti with bright flowers. The further you go, even these gradually disappear. .

Counting the time, they have been trekking here for several hours.

Qiao Que's physical strength was gradually exhausted, he became dizzy, and his lips were dry and cracked.

"Be careful."

His arm was supported by someone, only to realize that when he was climbing a sandy slope, he fell to the side unknowingly.

"Ah, thank you." Qiao Que thanked with a dazed expression, looked up, and saw a face with a very bright smile.

The flowery underpants put his hands in his trouser pockets, his expression was as usual, leisurely like a tourist.

The gap between people is really too big!

Qiao Que withdrew his hand, but he couldn't be ignorant of other people's good intentions, so he regained his energy and trotted forward, but because of physical coordination problems, he ran into an S shape, like a pet whose shoes were forced on Cats are so ugly!

Hua Pants walked beside him, backed away from the front, and looked at him while walking: "Don't be so fierce, sister, you didn't treat Brother Chi like this just now, why are you so double-standard at such a young age?"

Qiao Que couldn't bear it anymore and burst into fury: "Don't call me sister!...You are not allowed to call Brother Chi!"

enemy!

Hua Pants not only didn't mind, but also smiled very happily: "Okay, okay, I don't call you sister. Then what do I call you? Qiao Qiao? Xiao Que?"

Qiao Que looked serious: "You can call me Mr. Qiao."

After thinking about it, I felt that this plan was very good. I turned my head and said affirmatively: "From today onwards, I will also respectfully call you 'Mr. Hua'."

Flower Pants: ...?

Who the hell is "Mr. Flower"?

"My surname is not Hua, but Zhang."

It doesn't matter what your surname is, it doesn't matter if your surname is Wu!

Qiao Que pouted: "Okay, then Mr. Zhang."

"Don't worry, that's so unfamiliar." Mr. Zhang, who was in flowery pants, leaned forward and said, "My name is William Zhang."

...I still have Jobs!

Qiao Que rolled his eyes, his disdain palpable.

"It's windy?" William Zhang originally wanted to tease him to prevent him from getting sleepy, but suddenly stopped talking, frowned, and looked into the distance.

Qiao Que struggled to pull out one of his feet from the sandpit, and was taken aback when he heard this: "Is there any?"

Jiang Luchi, who was walking a few steps ahead, changed his eyes, turned around and called Qiao Que, "Come to me."

Qiao Que wanted to ask a few more questions, but he didn't expect that a few seconds later, his mouth was full of mad sand all over his face.

The color of the sky and the earth suddenly changed. The blue sky, white clouds and scorching sun were in the sky just now. It was like sliding a finger to change a filter for a second, and it was dark and gloomy in an instant.

The strong wind began to rage, blowing so hard that people couldn't open their eyes, and there was flying sand and rocks around them. Soon Qiao Que's eyes, nostrils, nostrils, and mouth were filled with sand, almost suffocating.

sandstorm...

In the face of this natural disaster, human beings are as small as an ant that will be crushed to death at any time.

He couldn't even hear 438's eager yelling in his head, his face was covered with physiological tears, and he instinctively leaned close to Jiang Luchi, trembling.

In a trance, someone dragged his arm and took him a few steps, and someone took him to sit down in the lee, and wiped his horrific cheeks with a tissue.

"Brother Chi..." Qiao Que was aggrieved, his voice was as hoarse as a duck's, his face was in pain, and his nose was scratched by small stones.

"It's okay." Jiang Luchi himself was clean and free from dust, and he could still maintain a cool and frosty temperament under such circumstances. He stopped his movements: "Use a clean clothes technique myself."

"Oh." Qiao Que lowered his head and squeezed his fist, quickly cleaned himself up, and reluctantly put a band-aid on his nose under 438's fuss.

——Intelligent AI438 carefully selected mint green love models.

Only then did he realize that it wasn't that the sandstorm had stopped, and that they were not in any shelter from the wind.

Clouds of black ink still covered the entire field of vision, the surroundings were as dark as the end of the world, and the storm whizzed out an elongated "whooping" sound, like the whispering of some ancient creature.

However, these are blocked one step away.

Around them, there were several gold-bottomed and red-letter charms suspended, which were rattled by the wind, but they were very firm, covering a square, about three or four square meters of quiet space, and stones were flying towards them. When it hits the edge, a circle of red streamer will bounce back, as if it hit some invisible roof.

He had seen a similar space when Jiang Luchi dealt with the woman in black from the previous world.

"...Boundary?" Qiao Que murmured.

Jiang Luchi: "Yes. This storm is a bit strange, so be vigilant."

Qiao Que couldn't suppress his curiosity: "Brother Chi, aren't you a celestial master? Can you also create enchantments?"

Jiang Luchi probably understood what he meant, and explained: "This kind of enchantment is only used for small-scale defense. It is also a very useful skill for celestial masters, and it is not a real enchantment for professional enchanters."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Que's clean little face with band-aids written all over his face, "I want to learn, I want to learn, I really want to learn".

Jiang Luchi: ...

"Don't be too greedy. You are a spiritual cultivator, and you must focus on the purity of spiritual energy. If you learn too much, it will affect your advancement."

Qiao Que was a little disappointed, but he also knew that what he said was reasonable, so he lowered his head and said, "Then I won't learn."

Jiang Luchi didn't speak again, until after a few minutes, Qiao Que had forgotten about it, and when he was carefully digging the stones on the ground to study, he opened his mouth: "I will teach you when you get the golden pill. .”

The stone in Qiao Que's hand fell to the ground, his eyes seemed to hide stars: "Really?"

Jiang Luchi nodded slightly: "Of course. Until then, just stay in my barrier."

……

Qiao Que shrank in the barrier obediently, feeling that time had passed, but the storm showed no signs of weakening.

He probed his head and looked outside, and the grayish-yellow sand mist swept across and rushed straight into the sky, forming a spectacular bunch of tornadoes in a large area of ​​wind.

There was a thrilling grandeur to the scene.

But maybe this enchantment is too comfortable, Qiao Que looked at it, his upper and lower eyelids gradually drooped together again, his consciousness gradually became a little farther away, and even the sound of "woo woo" from the sandstorm gradually became more profound, It sounds unexpectedly sweet, like the long roar of some animals, and also like the singing of deep-sea mermaids under the moonlight.

sounds so good……

sleepy……

A warm hand pressed against his cheek, waking him up from the trance again.

Jiang Luchi was very close to him, and his face was a little ugly: "You have a fever. Didn't you feel it?"

Um?Have a fever?

Qiao Que shook his head, and tried to put his hand on his forehead, but it was only slightly hot. If he had to judge for himself, he would probably think it was just exposed to the sun. I don't know how Jiang Luchi deduced this result of.

"...I'm fine."

Jiang Luchi didn't insist either, and looked solemnly at the center of the storm in the distance. It was obvious that there were more troublesome things at the moment.

Qiao Que didn't know why, so he followed his line of sight.

In the steaming sand and mist of the storm, there was a shadowy shadow, a huge black shadow that looked like a mountain peak.

And that far-reaching scream was not Qiao Que's illusion of being sleepy.

He woke up instantly from the fright, and his first reaction was to cover his mouth to prevent his burp from staining his Brother Chi's ears.

"What is it?"

As if in response to his doubts, the huge mountain immediately let out a deafening whistling sound.

The sound was very recognizable, and it was a little distorted from the rumbling sandstorm, but it could still be heard as a powerful and threatening elephant cry.

"Elephant?" Qiao Que was startled.

How can there be such a big elephant!

dong... dong... dong...

Qiao Que felt the vibration of the soles of his feet from far to near, and felt that his heart was sinking with the vibration.

"Animal... super evolution...?" He couldn't help but read out blankly.

Jiang Luchi made a decisive decision and grabbed Qiao Que's wrist: "Let's go!"

Qiao Que regained his senses and followed Jiang Luchi.

His mind was in a mess, and he was so frightened by the elephant, which was taller than the mountain, that his legs were weak and his hands were limp. His reaction was much slower than usual, and soon his left foot tripped over his right foot and fell on the soft sand.

How is sprinting used?What are the formulas of imperial swordsmanship?

...Should I just crawl out?Are four legs faster?

These thoughts went back and forth in his head, like a beaver in a daze.

438, who fell into self-doubt because he didn't discover the change in Qiao Que's body temperature in time: ...

... You have a fever and are not drunk!

What are you thinking? !

At this time, he couldn't control so much anymore, Jiang Luchi didn't hesitate at all, bent down to pick up Qiao Que, and quickly evacuated from the storm with the help of his feet.

Qiao Que slowly woke up in the turbulent chaos, and there was no warning in his heart, boom.

A giant mushroom cloud exploded.

The sandstorm was as weird as Jiang Luchi had imagined. After retreating less than 200 meters, the sun was hanging overhead again, scorching the entire desert.

The sand under my feet is quiet, only some small gentle flows.

Compared with the sandstorm that was raging just now, it can be said that the years are quiet and good.

Qiao Quemu sat on the ground in a daze, swallowed hard, his throat was swollen and sore, and the male duck said, "Brother Chi, that one just now?"

Hearing his voice, Jiang Luchi frowned, and said in a deep voice, "You need to take medicine."

438 agrees very much: "Yes, take medicine!"

Qiao Que obediently swallowed the antipyretic medicine that 438 took out from the system, took a sip of the mineral water, and did not forget to analyze the truth and said:

"This is the meaning of 'escape'. The desert seems to be boundless, but it is actually closed. That monster that looks not easy to mess with is guarding the gate of S City. From this point of view, there is a lot of people on the other side of the forest. It may be the same situation. But Brother Chi, with your ability, it's not difficult to break through, right?"

For the first time in history, Jiang Luchi did not answer, and said with his arms crossed, "Stop talking. Throat, take a break."

Qiao Que paused, nodded sullenly, crossed his hands over his mouth, and signaled that he would not speak again.

Only then did Jiang Luchi say succinctly: "It's not difficult to break through. But it's meaningless. You don't want to do the task?"

Qiao Que was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that no matter it was the last world or this world, Jiang Luchi obviously had a way to clear the level quickly, but because he didn't want to affect the progress of the mission of his teammates, he patiently accompanied them to unlock the main line of the world.

This is really...

So tender.

Qiao Que patted his cheek with a "slap".

Jiang Luchi lowered his eyes: "What's more, in this world, there might really be a Seal of Heaven."

Qiao Que also had some conjectures in this regard. Hearing this sentence, he felt nervous and a little excited. Finally, he clenched his fists and gave him a cheering gesture with a serious face.

Very intimate little padded jacket.

After taking antipyretics and resting for so long, Qiao Que felt refreshed, stood up and walked back along the original road with Jiang Luchi.

After walking out for a few steps, he looked at the sky in distress: Why does he always feel that he has forgotten something?Fever illusion?

He frowned and walked a few steps in deep thought, when he suddenly slapped his thigh with a frightened expression: "Brother Chi Chi Chi Chi? Where's William Hua?!"

Jiang Luchi: ...?who?

Qiao Que turned around abruptly: "I, I, we forgot William Hua in the sandstorm?!"
