Seeing the tragic scene, Sun Hong didn't care about anything else and ran down the sand dune to check Wu Gen's situation.
Wu Gen was lying on the ground, his face pale, there was still a trace of blood foam at the corner of his mouth, and his chest no longer heaved.
Sun Hong burst into tears and stumbled over. He helped Wu Gen with both hands and shook him repeatedly, "Brother Wu, don't scare me. You are the one who will be the leader of the village in the future. How can you die like this? If you die, I will But we can do it now." His words were sad and his expression was sad, but he was really moved.
It is said that Sun Hong is one year older than Wu Gen, but this guy always likes to act like the boss, so Sun Hong is used to being the younger one in front of him.
"Ahem." Wu Gen coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood accumulated in his chest. "Stop shaking, I'm still breathing. What a powerful punch, what a sharp look, and one punch interrupted the flow of my blood and qi, which accumulated in my chest." Breasts, they’re suffocating me to death.”
Wu Gen sighed after taking a breath.
I have been practicing the Mind Sutra these days, and my martial arts have made great progress. Coupled with several times of fighting in Guixiao, I was confident that I had seen big scenes, so I gradually looked down on others.
Today, in this remote place, he was defeated by someone's attack. He was almost unable to fight back and almost capsized in the ditch. As the old saying goes, don’t underestimate the world.
Seeing that Wu Gen came back to life, Sun Hong turned from sadness to joy and quickly helped him up. He also found an unbroken water bag from the dead three people and fed Wu Gen to drink it.
After recovering a little, Wu Gen asked Sun Hong to help him to the place where the insect died.
The scene was in a mess, and only the body of the thin man remained. After searching, a nameplate was found where the strong man died, with the words Tiandaomen on it.
Fortunately, the three of them still had their cards. Although two of their own cards were taken away by the middle-aged man, the two of them were not at a loss.
He glanced around and said to Sun Hong: "We have to leave this place quickly. The fighting was too loud and might attract other sandworms."
The two left in a hurry. After taking a few steps, Wu Gen turned back, collected some of the remaining body fluids of the strange insects on the ground, covered them tightly with a lid, and then left.
While walking, Sun Hong realized that the strange insect just now was called a sandworm.
This kind of insect is extremely powerful, has a hard body, and is good at spitting poisonous mist. It is a tyrant in the desert. Sandworms usually live underground. Due to living in darkness for many years, their sense of smell and vision have been weakened. However, their hearing is very sensitive, and they will chase after the slightest noise.
When the four people appeared just now, Wu Gen felt something moving underground, so he pulled Sun Hong to stay where he was. Unexpectedly, the strong man did not know whether to live or die, and actually took action directly, causing the sandworm to appear.
With the support of Sun Hong, Wu Gen moved forward hurriedly and walked for a long time before stopping. According to Zhang Yuan, sandworms often live in groups, and these two-headed bugs are quite vindictive. If they smell the blood of similar victims, they will swarm out.
Once upon a time, an army of a thousand people was slaughtered overnight because it offended the sandworms, leaving no bones left. So when you encounter this kind of monster, the best way to defeat it is to stay motionless in the sand.
After running for two hours, Sun Hong was out of breath and asked, "Brother Wu, where are we going?"
Wu Gen's chest wound was still aching faintly at this time. Fortunately, the inner armor sent by Zhang Yuan blocked it, otherwise his internal organs would have been damaged.
He raised his head and looked into the distance, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I'm going to look for the person who took away our badges. I've grown so big, and I'm the only one who robbed others, so there's no reason for me to be robbed by others. If you tell me, I'll lose my master." Human beings. A meal of kindness must be repaid, and a penny of resentment must be repaid. Today, I am willing to risk everything. Even if I can’t defeat you, I will still seek justice.”
Sun Hong looked horrified, "Brother Wu, you have seen what those people are capable of. One person can hurt you and me like this. If several people gather together, how can we survive?"
Wu Gen bared his teeth and had a ferocious look on his face. This was not because he was trying to be cruel, but because the pain in his chest was unbearable. He said irritably: "Have you watched too many movies like "The Legend of Knights and Knights", and you are always picking up bricks and banging on them. Who said? To fight them desperately, fighting is the lowest level thing.
Back in the village, Mr. Ban Duo once said that fighting and killing were done by gangsters, and the real killing was done in the planning and between words. I hate fighting the most in my life. It is really an insult to my demeanor as the leader of the village. When you find that person, you can see what I can do. "
Sun Hong was scolded for no reason, so he had to keep silent. He always felt that Wu Gen was bragging to save face.
After walking all night, both of them were extremely hungry and thirsty, and no more scorpions were caught. Even the water was only half a jug left. If we couldn't find any water source, we might really die in this vast sea of sand.
As we continued to move forward the next day, we occasionally saw human corpses on the road. All the badges on their bodies were missing. It seemed that they had been murdered.
The two of them were in an increasingly depressed mood. They didn't say a word along the way, but just moved forward. As evening approached, Wu Gen sniffed and said with some joy, "There is moisture."
Sun Hong was very excited when he heard it, "Where is it? Let's go quickly." He opened his legs and ran wildly in the direction pointed by Wu Gen.
After walking a few steps, he saw Wu Gen standing there and couldn't help but urge: "Hurry up."
Wu Gen sighed, "Wherever there is water, there are people. We'd better wait until late at night before going there." Thinking of the tragic deaths he encountered along the way, Sun Hong's eyes dimmed.
The two of them walked forward carefully until nightfall, when a black shadow appeared in front of them, swaying in the wind.
"It's an oasis." Sun Hong whispered.
Wu Gen nodded and looked at the bonfires in front of him with a solemn expression.
"Go or not?" Sun Hong looked at Wu Gen nervously.
"Go. If you don't go, you will die. If you go, there is no chance of survival." Wu Gen stared straight ahead.
After crawling forward on all fours, when they were still more than a hundred feet away, Wu Gen and Sun Hong buried themselves in the sand and remained motionless, with only their two eyes exposed, observing the movement in the forest from a distance. There were more than twenty people in the oasis, warming themselves by the fire in the forest and talking to each other.
After a while, two figures emerged from the oasis and circled the oasis several times, seemingly looking for something.
Wu Gen and Sun Hong held their breaths and did not dare to make any sound. There are rumors in the world that some people who are successful in cultivation can be noticed even if they glance at them from a distance.
After a while, the two people passed by Wu Gen and Sun Hong not far away, talking to each other as they walked.
"This road to death is really evil, with dangers everywhere. So many people died along the way. I don't know what else is weird ahead."
"I heard that it takes five days for the waist card to show the direction of this Wuhua Stone. I don't know how far away it is. The rules of this dog day are to force us to run around and fight with others. Who knows how many waist cards we need to grab." "
"Fortunately, Captain Zhai took in so many people and cast his net everywhere. Otherwise, in this huge desert, where would I be able to find people? Five people have died in my hands these days. I think even if I can't be the winner, , the helmsman will also have other rewards."
"Just now, the helmsman felt that someone was peeping, but the two of us searched for a long time and didn't even see a hair. It's so cold and freezing that even someone froze to death."
"It's better to be careful. Fang Lian and others went out and grabbed two waist cards, but lost the lives of three brothers. It is said that they encountered two dolls. He was also poisoned by sandworms. If it weren't for The helmsman gave up a Jade Flower Pill, and I'm afraid his life will be lost."
The two of them were walking and talking, completely unaware that the doll in their mouths was hidden in the sand not far away.
At night, there is a silver hook in the sky, and the clear light covers the fields. The gentle breeze blew over the sand dunes, making a whining sound.
Wu Gen slowly crawled out of the sand, moved his body, covered his face with a piece of cloth, turned his head and motioned to Sun Hong not to move, and silently crawled along the oasis using his hands and feet.
Everywhere he went, he would bury his head in the sand and call twice in a deep voice. The sound spread far underground, but there was no movement on the ground. Even if there was any movement, it was covered up by the sound of the wind. After a while, the entire oasis had been measured.
After doing all this, Wu Gen listened carefully to the movement in the oasis, and slowly climbed towards the oasis through the ups and downs of the sand dunes.
Ninety feet, eighty feet... When he reached thirty feet, Wu Gen stopped moving and was sweating profusely. In such a close place, if the people in the oasis find themselves escaping, they will definitely have difficulty escaping.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, took out the water bag containing the sandworm juice, carefully unscrewed the stopper, and poured a few drops everywhere. When the bag was empty, he threw away the water bag, quietly returned to Sun Hong, and burrowed into the sand without moving.
"Brother Wu, what were you doing just now?" Sun Hong asked in a low voice.
"Shh." Wu Gen signaled Sun Hong to be quiet and pointed in the direction of the oasis, "Just watch."
After waiting for a long time, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
While I was wondering, I suddenly heard a rustling sound in the distance. With a "boom" sound, a sandworm with two jaws on its head came out. The tentacles turned around in confusion, and finally pointed in the direction of the oasis.
Climbing to the edge of the oasis, the sandworm lowered its head and sniffed, then suddenly became furious and rushed towards the oasis with its claws and teeth bared.
Soon, the oasis became agitated, "There are sandworms coming."
There were shadows of people under the moonlight, fires were everywhere, and someone was taking action. Soon, the crowd returned to calm, and one sandworm was not enough to make these people unable to resist.
But soon, something horrifying happened to these people. There were sounds from time to time around the oasis, like fish spitting bubbles underwater.
Another sandworm appeared, shaking its head and crawling towards the oasis. Then more sandworms appeared around the oasis, attracted by the movement inside, and poured in one after another.
Screams were heard all over the oasis, swords were flying, and huge fireballs flew out one after another, hitting the ground hard, and sparks flying everywhere. Unfortunately, there were too many sandworms on the ground, and soon the fireball was annihilated.
There was an unpleasant smell in the air, which was the unique smell of the poisonous fog of sandworms, and the screams of people gradually became quieter.
A tall old man jumped up, and a huge white tiger appeared behind him. The roar of the tiger came, and the white tiger's shadow roared and jumped in the oasis, launching an attack on the ground. With one claw, it exploded where it hit the ground.
Wu Gen's eyes widened and he looked at the old man in surprise. He had never seen this kind of method in his life. Compared with the warrior's bloody swords, this gorgeous attack method is an eye-opener for me.
It turns out that there are still such strange people in the world. Today's scene in the oasis opened the door to another world for Wu Gen.
The black mist was blown out of the oasis, the surrounding area gradually became quiet, and the white tiger's appearance also gradually dissipated. Under the moonlight, one or two groans came from the oasis from time to time.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from the ground, like a dark thunder. The ground rolled violently, and a sandworm as thick as a human waist and ten feet long emerged from the ground. This sandworm has a golden horn on its head, like a crown, and looks majestic.
The golden-horned sandworm raised its body half up, its tentacles kept shaking, and feeling the strong smell of the same kind in the oasis, it swung its body and rushed towards the oasis with a rumble. Wherever they passed, a deep ditch was plowed.
The old man's figure appeared again, leaping out in one step, but instead of rushing towards the sandworm, he hurriedly fled in the opposite direction.
Seeing someone escaping, the golden-horned sandworm swung its tail and let out a scream. The sound was extremely sharp, like fingernails scratching the bottom of a pot.
Wu Gen felt that the blood all over his body was boiling, a layer of blood mist oozed from his body, his head felt like it was boiling, and he had a splitting headache.
The old man's figure paused for a moment, then was caught up by the golden-horned sandworm. The white tiger appears again, one man and one insect fighting together.
Huge roars and sharp whistles were mixed together, dust was flying in the desert, and black mist filled the air. That person was able to withstand the invasion of the black mist and was indistinguishable from the sandworms.
The golden-horned sandworm also looks extraordinary, taking so many hits as if nothing happened. On the contrary, the more he fought, the more courageous he became. His jaws were like giant scissors, and he kept fighting with the white tiger. As time went by, the insubstantial white tiger's appearance also became incomplete.
Moreover, the sandworms emit unpleasant whistling sounds from time to time. Every time they sound, the opponent will stop for a moment, giving the sandworms an opportunity to take advantage of them.
The two fought for a long time, and one of them gradually became tired. As a last resort, they separated and confronted each other, each preparing an offensive. The old man's body was in tatters and dripping with blood. The sandworm is missing two of its six legs, and one of its jaws has fallen off.
Both of them were injured, and if the fight continued, they would not know who would live and who would die. The old man shook his body, and the White Tiger Dharma came into his body. Staring at the sandworm in front of him, he groaned, his beard and hair bulging, and his body suddenly swelled.
The sand and stones beside him couldn't help shaking, gradually rolling, and finally floated into the air. A powerful pressure spread out, veins burst out on the old man's body, and the murderous look in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Feeling the threat from the opposite side, the sandworm stood up half of its body, like a cobra, with a big bulge under its jaws.
"Die." The old man shouted loudly, with the force of wind and thunder, flying sand and rocks, like a formation of horses and wind cannons, punching the sandworm.
The punch was sharp and powerful, as if a giant tiger was breathing down and leaning forward, causing a series of explosions to ring out in the air. The sandworm is actually very stubborn. Instead of avoiding it when it sees it, it will head towards it. With a loud bang, the fist collided with the insect's body, and the sand insect's body was broken into several pieces.
The sandworm screamed, the bulge under its jaw exploded, and a ball of green flames spurted out and hit the old man.
The old man did not expect that the beast would deliver such a blow before it died. As soon as the green fire fell on the body, it penetrated into the flesh and bones, and the entire lower body was ignited with blazing fire.
With a scream, the old man tried his best to fight with his hands, but he couldn't get rid of the fire, and his arms also ignited with faint green fire.
The old man's screams echoed all around, and it took a long time for them to subside.
Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, Sun Hong's legs trembled, and he suddenly felt that it was a mistake for him to participate in the selection this time. This was definitely not something he could participate in.
Turning to look at Wu Gen beside him, he saw him lying quietly in the sand, staring at the oasis, his eyes burning.
