At that moment, Gawain extinguished the flame of the Green Lotus Pure Fire and lay down with his ear to the ground. Although she doesn't know what Gawain discovered, Artolis trusts Gawain's intuition. So he quickly covered his mouth and nose, fearing that his every move would interfere with Gawain's judgment.

The surroundings became quiet, and then Gawain, who was close to the ground, frowned. After a few breaths, he quickly stood up. Before Artolis could react, Gawain had already grabbed her hand tightly.

"You..." Artolis's face suddenly became hot. She looked at the other party holding her hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"It's too late, run!" Gawain took Artolis's hand and ran in the opposite direction of their direction without looking back.

Until this moment, Artoris still didn't understand what Gawain was worried about. But the scene that appeared in the next second frightened Artolis.

I saw a faint black line appearing on the endless desert behind me, and soon the black line turned into a dense black dot. Looking at it from a distance, it looked like a swarm of black ants, but Artolis, who had opened her analytical eyes, knew very well that those things were not ants.

"Then...that's a poisonous insect?" Artolis couldn't believe what she saw in front of her. From one end of the desert to the other, it was all black. Even in the dark night, the blackness can be clearly seen. Artoris clicked her tongue at the single visible range, which was ten miles wide. In other words, the poisonous insects rushing towards them covered an area of ​​ten kilometers!

Looking at the black mass of poison behind her, Artoris swallowed. If they were caught up, even if they were given a hundred lives, it wouldn't be enough.

After coming back to her senses, Artoris quickly harnessed the Tatsumi Aangki wind, one to push the two of them forward, and the other to reduce air resistance. Under the influence of Xunfeng, the speed of the two people has been significantly improved.

However, even so, the running speed of the two people was still not as fast as the insect tide behind them. The distance between the two sides was quickly closing, and they were about to be swallowed up by the insect tide. Looking at the surging insect swarm behind her, Artoris gritted her teeth and waved her hand, and a lavender summoning array appeared out of thin air.

The snow-white Wolf King jumped out of the summoning formation and felt a wave of heat coming over him. The Wolf King's resentful eyes fell on his master. Suppressing the discomfort, the Wolf King complained to Artoris about why she summoned it in such a ghost place. He had clearly warned her.

However, the next moment, the Wolf King learned that the current situation was not optimistic. The desert environment itself is the domain of poisonous insects that live here year-round. In the desert, they move at amazing speeds. The Wolf King didn't hesitate at all when he saw this, and immediately lifted the two of them onto his back with his mouth. Although they had the Wolf King as their mount, the two of them still did not dare to relax.

The wolf king carried the two men on its back and ran wildly through the desert at night. Behind it was a black and surging poisonous substance.

"What kind of trouble have you gotten into? Although I promised to give you the necessary help, I still need to rest, okay? Not to mention this is a ghost place like this."

It was obvious that the Wolf King was very dissatisfied with the two men for disturbing its rest. But even though it was a complaint, the Wolf King had no intention of blaming the two of them. Listening to the Wolf King's complaints, Artoris felt a little ashamed. Indeed, although they had not been together for a short time, they had indeed become too dependent on the Wolf King after coming out of the valley. Whether it's fighting or traveling.

Artoris pinched the Wolf King's hair tightly with her slender hands, and the infinite grievances in her heart came to her mouth, but they condensed into three words:

"sorry……"

Feeling the body behind him trembling slightly, Gawain, who wanted to defend Artoris, finally suppressed his words in the air. As a contracted beast, the Wolf King is more able to notice the change in the host's mood. It originally just wanted to complain, but it didn't expect that its host could not withstand the blow. The Wolf King shook his head and couldn't help but wonder whether his previous hasty decision was right or wrong. Stopping his grumbling, the Wolf King turned his attention to the present, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

The current situation is very difficult to handle. Since the Wolf King is not good at the desert terrain and his strength is limited, although the speed is not slow, it is not much faster. It is certain that their speed is slightly slower than that of the Wolf King. There was a flood of poison behind him. The poison behind him was now less than a hundred meters away from the two of them, and the situation was not optimistic. Artoris also recovered from her loss at this time. If there is any advantage about Artoris, it is that her mood changes very quickly, that is, as soon as she turns around, she is immediately full of energy again.

Gawain frowned and threw the Green Lotus Pure Fire Flame behind him while thinking about a way to escape. Poisonous animals are no different than wolves. They move with a purpose, perhaps migrating in groups, or hunting in groups. Their behavior is unknown. However, Gawain is certain that the main target of the insect tide will never be them, but there is no guarantee that they will not be swallowed up by the advancing insect tide. He didn't want to give it a try. He couldn't risk his own life and that of Atoris.

Artoris had already taken out her sword-edged bow. Of course, she didn't intend to rush forward and fight the poisonous creatures. That wasn't because she was brave and fearless, but because she thought her life was not long enough. Artoris mobilized her spiritual power to form a magic string. As the string was filled up, golden magic beams passed through the string blade and flew into the black insect tide.

Who said that sword-edged bows can only be used for close combat? The word "bow" can be placed there. It is not difficult to use spiritual power to form magic arrows. After staying in this world for a month, Artolis also has a deeper understanding of spiritual power. Although she is still only a rare person in spiritual power cultivation, There has been a big improvement compared to the beginning.

Well, it only stopped at arrows, but for a beginner like her, it was already very rare.

A series of magic arrows did not cause any ripples in the insect tide, but this did not mean that Artoris was doing useless work. After a while, a white light lit up in the insect tide, and a few unlucky poisonous insects were shot by multiple arrows and lost their lives for a while. The floating white light is the spiritual power that bursts out with the death of life. This spiritual power rushes into Artolis's body, and Artolis can feel that her spiritual power experience is on the rise.

The law of heaven has set the rule of the jungle. The killed target will transfer one ten thousandth of its spiritual power to the killer. In other words, the spiritual power of those who have lost their attachment will be invested in the person the attachment last came into contact with. Then all the spiritual power emitted by the dead poisonous insects rushed into Atoris's body. But that's not what Atoris cares about.
