Chapter 1625
Chapter 1625
The team of 650 people arrived at the Desert of Death directly. The same defensive light barrier and the same basic knowledge aroused everyone's curiosity about this area.
The light barrier disappeared quickly. Everyone was curious. After a few miles, they encountered the first wave of attacks from the Twin Scorpions.
The team of 655 people lost more than 65 people in an instant. This was under the condition that a few people with sharp senses told them in advance.
The rest of the cultivators flew into the air. Then, someone was poisoned and fell to the ground.
Looking at the Twin Scorpions that ate the cultivators in an instant, everyone's expression changed.
Energy was draining quickly. The scorching desert was like a flame roasting everyone. The long-awaited life and death crisis surfaced in everyone's hearts.
"Go north!"
Obedient Tiandao shouted and headed north.
After flying for a few miles, a group of female scorpions crawled out from the sand. The first wave of soul attacks caught them off guard and killed more than 65 people.
The team of 655 people only moved for about 65 miles. There were only 15 people left.
"The energy in our bodies is draining too fast. If this continues, everyone's energy will be depleted before we reach the end," Fortune Teller said with a sullen face.
"Damn old man. He must be the one who killed us." Man Shi gritted his teeth, his face full of anger.
"What should we do now?
We don't have weapons, and our energy is draining too fast. When our energy is depleted, we will become food for these big guys. "Wu Xie didn't have any idea.
Usually, at this time, Zi Chen would be the one to make the decision.
Jin Qingcheng looked into the distance. The yellow sand was endless. If this continued, everyone would die. After thinking for a while, she said directly, "If this continues, everyone will die unless they are willing to cooperate."
Everyone looked at Jin Qingcheng. No one wanted to die.
"Five people in a group. One person in each group will use his energy to carry the others. The other four will restrain all their energy.
This way, we may be able to hold on for a long time, "Jin Qingcheng said.
This was indeed a method, but everyone quickly saw the drawbacks. What if the first person was kicked out by the other four after exhausting his energy?
After all, one less person meant one less energy consumption. This way, the last person had the highest chance of escaping.
However, everyone wanted to be the last person. No one was willing to be the first.
At this moment, everyone would undoubtedly choose someone they were familiar with. However, at this moment of life and death, it seemed that even familiar people were not reliable.
"Alright, split into groups!"
This was everyone's only chance at survival, and no one would reject it. The difficulty lay in the grouping.
Fortunately, Zi Chen had helped some people solve this problem many years ago.
On that day, at that critical moment, more than ten people were willing to protect Zi Chen.
In the end, Zi Chen sacrificed himself to save a dozen more people. Coincidentally, more than half of those people were in this team.
"Qingcheng, I'll be in the same group as you." Ye Ming smiled and flew over.
Man Shi moved in a flash and stopped Ye Ming. He said, "No, we'll be in the same group."
Ye Ming glared at him and said, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. I just don't trust you."
Naturally, Man Shi and the rest would not be in the same group as Ye Ming.
The longer they stayed, the closer they would be to death. After glaring fiercely at Man Shi, Ye Ming could only team up with the rest.
The team was quickly formed, and everyone cooperated and flew toward the north.
During this time, the fortune-teller consumed precious energy and performed a divination for everyone. He then shouted, "Everyone, trust me. This time, the divination shows that we'll be safe!
So, don't do anything stupid. "
"This is the Land of Despair. There are opportunities everywhere, but there are also dangers everywhere.
We all come from the same place. In such a dangerous time, we should work together to get through this together, "Shuntian Dao also shouted.
Jin Qingcheng glanced at the two of them, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. Then, she said coldly, "Everyone, if we work together, we can all get out of here alive.
If anyone tries anything, as long as I'm still alive, I'll make sure they die ten times more cruel than being eaten by scorpions. "
Many people shuddered in their hearts.
Being eaten alive by scorpions was already very cruel. No one dared to imagine being ten times more cruel than that.
Compared to the encouragement of Shuntian Dao and the fortune-teller, Jin Qingcheng's threat was greater.
Therefore, everyone worked together and moved forward.
At the same time, Zi Chen, who sensed the teleportation fluctuation, also flew toward where everyone was at.
Scheming would lead to death, but not scheming would give them a chance of survival. For the rest of the journey, everyone was relatively well-behaved. Everyone cooperated well.
The second cultivator ran out of energy, and the third cultivator followed.
The sand below suddenly rolled, and female scorpions appeared one after another. They lined up neatly, like well-trained soldiers. They raised their heads and launched soul attacks.
Compared to the scattered attacks from before, the current attacks were more condensed. Several people were careless and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Wu Xie couldn't help but curse, "Damned things, they're as orderly as an army. There must be a scorpion king commanding them."
As if to verify Wu Xie's words, a big guy about ten meters long appeared from the yellow sand.
"Yo!"
As soon as it appeared, it roared at everyone.
A ripple visible to the naked eye swept toward everyone in the sky.
In an instant, everyone's bodies began to shake. Figures fell to the ground one by one, and were covered by yellow sand in the blink of an eye. Several people died.
Only half of the hundred-man team remained.
"Puff!"
Man Shi, who had exhausted all his energy, coughed up blood after receiving this attack. His body swayed. If not for Wu Xie holding him at the critical moment, Man Shi would have fallen.
"Let's go!"
The multiple soul attacks had drained everyone's energy, so they had to speed up.
However, with the scorpion king overseeing them, female scorpions appeared one after another. They lined up neatly in a square formation and launched soul attacks.
Many people swayed and were on the verge of collapse.
Below, the scorpion king was still chasing after them. Its speed on the sand was not slower than the others.
At the same time, it kept launching soul attacks one after another, draining everyone's energy.
The fourth person's energy was quickly depleted, and the last person went up.
The yellow sand was still endless, and the scorpion king was still chasing after them. Everyone was in despair.
However, in the next moment, something that made them even more desperate happened. The scorpion king that had been harassing them previously suddenly rose into the air.
This thing could fly.
At such a close distance, as long as it launched a soul attack, more than half of the people would die.
Everyone was in despair, and their eyes were filled with despair. Only the fortune-teller had a face of doubt, because the divination just now clearly showed that it was more frightening than dangerous.
The scorpion king was in the air, and its mouth was already open. A wave of soul power spread out, and in the next moment, it would form a soul attack.
Seeing that it was about to kill these humans, a hint of fear flashed in the scorpion king's eyes.
It did not launch a soul attack, but instead let out a shrill scream.
This scream pierced everyone's eardrums, causing their heads to buzz. However, it was only a sound wave, and there was no soul attack.
The people could not block a single attack from the scorpion king, but they did not understand what the latter was afraid of.
The sound of something breaking through the air came from the horizon, and there was also a faint dragon's roar. A silver light appeared in everyone's line of sight. The silver light cut through the sky, and with a powerful force, shot straight at the scorpion king.
The scorpion king's body kept twisting in the air, struggling to escape, but the rainbow light arrived in an instant.
Blood spurted out, and the spear carried the scorpion king's body into the distance.
In the process of flying, the people saw the scorpion king's body rapidly shrivel.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
However, when the Scorpion King died, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they did not die. Another problem appeared in everyone's minds. The yellow sand was endless, and even one person might not be able to leave alive. If they carried the four people who had lost their energy, they would undoubtedly die.
However, before they could make a decision, a figure appeared in their line of sight.
It was a very young human wearing a black robe.
As long as it was a human, there was hope. Hope rekindled in everyone's hearts.
As the black-robed man approached, many people found that he seemed to be very familiar.
Wu Xie and Man Shi rubbed their eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.
Shuntian and Dark Mantle also opened their eyes wide, looking at the black-robed man in front of them in disbelief.
"Zi Chen!" Jin Qingcheng cried out in alarm.
The black-robed man was Zi Chen. When he saw the group of people, he was obviously stunned.
Finally, he heard loud exclamations.
In the group, there was Shuntian, Fortune Teller, Man Shi, Wu Xie, and many other familiar faces.
Zi Chen was stunned. He did not expect that most of the people that Old Man Schenker mentioned were his friends.
Because everyone was too excited, they neglected the existence of their companions, causing them to lose control of their energy and fall from the sky.
Exclamations sounded again. Seeing this, Zi Chen immediately waved a light of energy to hold everyone back.
He understood the situation at a glance. There was no time to reminisce. He shook his hand and threw out a piece of Spirit Crystal, saying, "Absorb the energy first."
Everyone caught a piece of Spirit Crystal and began to absorb the energy in it. At the same time, they slowly stabilized themselves.
"Why are you all here?"
Zi Chen came forward and asked almost at the same time as the others.
"It's a long story. Let's go to the safe zone first."
The Dragon Soul Spear devoured the Giant Scorpion's vitality and flew back into Zi Chen's hand in a stream of light.
"Hey, this is your Dragon Spear. How did you bring a weapon in?" Wu Xie saw the familiar weapon and asked in confusion.
"Is it strange?
Everyone can bring a weapon in, "Zi Chen said.
Everyone looked at Zi Chen as if they were looking at a monster.
"Why? You can't?"
Then, Zi Chen found that everyone was empty. Not only were there no storage bags, but there were also no Spirit Crystals.
Now, Zi Chen vaguely understood the purpose of his reward.
"We'll talk about this later. Follow me first."
Zi Chen led the way in front and the others followed behind.
As for the Twin Scorpions below, they were no longer a threat to the group. Along the way, Zi Chen also hunted some male scorpions.
Halfway through, everyone's Spirit Crystals were used up. Zi Chen threw another piece to each of them and told them to keep the account first. Everyone was confused.
