Chapter 862 High temperature, scorpion tail

Originally, the temperature during the day was around 40 degrees, but not long after leaving the oasis, Su Bai felt that the temperature during the day should be over 20 degrees!Moreover, the temperature difference between day and night was very large, but now the temperature at night is also relatively high. Although it is cooler than during the day, it still looks like more than [-] degrees.

What exactly is going on?If the temperature rises suddenly, this is of course impossible. After all, it may not even be a day before and after. How could the temperature change be so obvious?Su Bai thought that the most likely possibility should be caused by regional changes.

Before he crossed over, in the desert in the northwest of China, there was an area where the temperature was so high that it could even be called the "Flame Mountain", but the environment they are in now, there is no mountain at all!Only the billowing yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see.

Naturally, not only Su Bai noticed the temperature change, Dongfang Zhiguang and the others also noticed it, but they were very happy, after all, they came to look for the "Fire Origin Orb" this time. As the name suggests, the place where the "Fire Origin Orb" is located , it is normal to be hot!This shows that they did not look in the wrong place!

Hearing the discussion of several people, Su Bai couldn't refute anything. After all, he also felt that this was the case. It seemed that they were indeed close to the "Fire Origin Orb". So what exactly does this "Fire Origin Orb" look like?

After another day, the temperature became even higher, and it seemed that the rising heat of Ao could be seen on the ground!Of course, it is very dry here, there is no moisture at all, where does the heat come from?Just because the temperature is too high, it seems that even the air is distorted.

It's just that except for the higher temperature, what Su Bai and the others saw was still a piece of yellow sand, and there was nothing else in their field of vision, even the occasional cacti that could be seen had completely disappeared.

Dongfang Zhiguang frowned and said: "Strange, logically speaking, we should be close to the 'Fire Origin Pearl', why didn't we find anything?"

Sima Xiangxun looked at the map in his hand, his expression was a little dignified, and he pondered: "The location given by the deduction astrolabe is only approximate, and it is possible that the 'Fire Origin Orb' is beside us. We are farther away, it is impossible to judge, but this place is so hot, it should be the area where the 'Fire Origin Orb' is located, but just like Brother Dongfang said, why didn't we find anything?"

Then he turned his head to look at Su Bai and said, "Su Xiaoyou, do you find anything wrong?"

Su Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "The seniors didn't notice it, and I can't see anything."

Dongfang Zhiguang smiled and said: "You don't need to be modest, Su Xiaoyou. Everyone is not familiar with this place, and it has nothing to do with the level of martial arts. If you find something, everyone should speak freely!"

Su Bai smiled noncommittally and did not speak. He really didn't find anything strange. No, the temperature here is so high. It was very strange. He just didn't find the reason for the high temperature.

Liu Xiyuan beside Su Bai squatted down suddenly, grabbed a handful of sand, shook his head and said, "This sand is hot."

The speaker didn't intend to hear the listener, Su Bai's heart suddenly moved, he also squatted down, and grabbed a handful of sand, the sand was indeed very hot, this is also a normal phenomenon, but Su Bai didn't stop, but dug a hole on the ground Come on, although there is no tool such as a shovel, and the sand is not easy to dig, Su Bai still quickly dug a hole nearly one meter deep.

Seeing Su Bai digging a hole suddenly, Dongfang Zhiguang asked, "Su Xiaoyou, did you discover something? Could it be that the sand in the ground is wrong?"

Su Bai nodded with a very serious expression, then reached into the hole he dug for a try, then looked up at everyone, and said, "Seniors, have you noticed that although the temperature of the air around us is very high, But the temperature of the sand under the ground is even higher! It shouldn’t be like this.”

Su Bai felt that the sand on the surface should be scorching hot, after all, it was exposed to the sun, but what he didn't expect was that the sand under the ground was also very hot, even hotter than the one on the surface!There is something wrong with this.

Dongfang Zhiguang and the others didn't even wrinkle, they also stretched out their hands to try the sand in the pit, and sure enough the temperature was not low, so they asked Su Bai: "Su Xiaoyou, is there anything wrong with this? By the way, 'air' What else?"

Su Bai's expression froze, and then he remembered that people in this world don't have the concept of air at all. He said vaguely, "It's nothing, I just said it casually, but the sand in the ground is hotter, so it's very wrong."

Su Bai said a word, then quickly changed the subject, and said: "Everyone knows that the sand will become hot because of the sun, but the sand underground cannot be exposed to the sun, so it should be warmer than the sand on the ground. The sand should be cooler, but now the sand under the ground is actually hotter than the one on the ground, there is definitely a problem!"

Su Bai didn't go into details either, he didn't say anything about maintaining a constant temperature, sand insulation, etc. Firstly, Dongfang Zhiguang and the others didn't understand, and secondly, he himself really didn't understand very well, anyway, roughly That's what it means. If you explain it this way, Dongfang Zhiguang and others will also be able to find something wrong.

Sure enough, several people nodded slowly, Liu Xiyuan said: "Su Xiaoyou, you mean that the reason why the sand becomes hot is not because of the sun, but because of other reasons? And this reason comes from the ground?"

Su Bai's heart moved, he raised his head, and squinted his eyes to look at the sun. Liu Xiyuan's words reminded him that before he felt the temperature was so high, he took it for granted that it was the sun, but what if it wasn't like this?What if the heat source comes from the ground?

He nodded and said, "I really think so."

Sima Xiangxun frowned and said, "But what is there underground? Could it be that the 'fire source pearl' can't be made underground?"

"Brother Sima has some truths."

Others nodded in agreement, but Su Bai didn't think so. After all, he had seen the "Earth Origin Orb" and "Water Origin Orb" before, and they didn't have such great power at all, and they weren't so powerful in the body of Xuangui and Sea Tiger. Even if it is exposed to the air and cannot change the environment, then this "Fire Origin Orb" should not be able to change the environment either.

As for what caused the heat here, what Su Bai thought of might be the underground heat source. What the so-called underground heat source is, Su Bai doesn't know. What he's most worried about now is that there won't be magma underground, right?Of course there is magma under the ground, but it is stable after normal, just like an extinct volcano, but if there are active volcanoes, or magma close to the surface, active magma, it is dangerous.

No matter how strong Su Bai's martial arts are, in the face of natural disasters like volcanic eruptions, he can only escape for his life. There should be no volcanoes here, but if the magma reaches the surface and turns this place into a sea of ​​magma, the danger is even greater!
"Why don't we dig down to see what's in the ground?" Dongfang Zhiguang suggested.

Wanyan Lie also nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Dongfang is right, this place is so hot, it's better to find the 'Fire Origin Bead' and leave as soon as possible, I don't want to be cooked!"

"Absolutely not!"

Hearing what the two said, Su Bai's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stopped them.

Dongfang Zhiguang looked over strangely, and seeing Su Bai's expression changed drastically, he was very puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong with Su Xiaoyou? Is there something wrong?"

Su Bai came back to his senses, his expression was a little stiff, but he couldn't explain it, and he said after a while: "Seniors, do you know about volcanoes?"

Several people nodded, and Sima asked, "Of course I know, what Su Xiaoyou means... is this a volcano? Isn't that right? After all, there aren't even mountains around here, so how could there be a volcano?"

Seeing how many people knew about volcanoes, Su Bai was also relieved, but after hearing what Sima Xiang asked, his face turned dark again. How dare you always think that only mountains can form volcanoes!What kind of reasoning is this!

Su Bai knew that the formation of the volcano was not because there was a mountain in that place, and then the magma erupted to form a volcano, but because after the magma erupted, some underground rocks and soils spewed out with the magma and piled up together. This is how volcanoes are formed.

It's just that he can't talk to these people well, so he can't explain it clearly!No, he is not the crux of the problem, is this the time to discuss volcano formation?What needs to be discussed in my heart is magma!
Sweat was dripping on Su Bai's forehead, and after thinking for a while, Su Bai said: "Well...Senior Sima is right, but seniors should also know that the reason why volcanoes are scary is because of the magma that erupts. In fact, even if there is no volcano , There is also magma in this underground, if the magma flows out and turns into a sea of ​​magma, it will be very dangerous!"

Liu Xiyuan frowned, and said: "Su Xiaoyou, you mean there is magma here? The reason why it is so hot here is because the magma is about to erupt?"

As soon as he said this, the faces of several people changed, obviously they all knew the horror of magma.

Su Bai coughed dryly, and said, "There is a possibility, after all, the sand is scorching hot."

He really wasn't sure what was going on here. Hearing what he said, the few people were a little relieved. After all, they all wanted to leave here just now!
Sima Xiangxun pondered for a moment, and said: "What Su Xiaoyou said makes sense. If there is really magma here, it is indeed not easy to dig a hole, but this place is also very likely to be the place where the 'Fire Source Orb' is. Can't give up."

Everyone didn't know what to say for a while, of course they couldn't give up on the "Fire Origin Orb", and they were even willing to risk their lives for it!But there is really magma here, even if you die, it is difficult to get the "Fire Origin Orb", besides, Su Bai and Liu Xiyuan are here to help, are they willing to risk their lives for it?
Shangguan Yehong sighed: "Let's take a long-term view on this matter. After all, we still can't confirm whether this place is the 'Fire Origin Pearl'. We have enough food and water now, and I remember the location of the oasis before. It's not a big deal." It will take a few days to figure out the situation here."

These words are relatively safe and reasonable, so everyone nodded in agreement with each other.

"Quiet, there seems to be movement!"

Suddenly, Liu Xiyuan let out a low cry, and looked around seriously, but there was nothing around, except sand, but everyone knew that the other party would not make jokes at this time, so there was real movement!

Su Bai frowned, and let go of his perception, but he still didn't perceive anything. Of course, he also knew that Liu Xiyuan couldn't be joking.

Suddenly, almost at the same time, Dongfang Zhiguang and the others changed their faces and said, "Below!"

At the same time when he opened his mouth, Su Bai finally sensed that there was something in the ground, and that thing was not small, it was approaching them quickly from the ground, it was obviously a living thing!
When the thing was close to 40 meters, several people saw a sandbag suddenly bulging above the ground. This is obviously that the thing crawled from the ground to a position close to the ground, and then the thing was still approaching everyone come over.

In Su Bai's perception, this thing is about the size of a small truck, but because the opponent's speed is too fast, he can't perceive the opponent's appearance temporarily, but this form should be a bug.

In less than a breath, the thing reached the ground in front of them. Of course, everyone would not sit still, and at the same time they jumped back one after another. Looking at them like this, it was obviously a way to lure the thing to make a move. move.

At the same time as everyone jumped up, the sand on the ground suddenly exploded, and a black shadow, like lightning, pierced fiercely towards the nearest Dongfang Zhiguang.

The speed was so fast that Su Bai could barely react, but fortunately, it wasn't him who was attacked by this thing.

Dongfang Zhiguang sneered, and at the same time that the black shadow was attacking, he thrust his right palm forward, and collided with the black shadow with a bang. Dongfang Zhiguang couldn't bear the powerful force. The person was in the air, and now he flew backwards.

However, Dongfang Zhiguang reacted very quickly. Just as he was about to fly upside down, he quickly grasped the black shadow with his right hand.

In the end, there was a sound, and Dongfang Zhiguang felt a burning pain in his palm. His face changed, and he quickly let go of his palm, and at the same time, his body flew out.

After pausing for a moment, the black shadow continued to chase Dongfang Zhiguang, but unfortunately it was blocked by Dongfang Zhiguang, and the speed was much slower, so it didn't even touch Dongfang Zhiguang's clothes.

And just at that moment, Su Bai who was not far away finally saw clearly what this black shadow was, his expression changed suddenly, because he saw that it turned out to be a fiery red scorpion tail!
Although it was only for a short moment, Su Bai still saw the crimson scorpion tail, the overall luster was like jade, and at the top of the tail, there was a curved hook like a poisonous needle that was about to drip blood. I shuddered, if I was stabbed by this thing, no amount of martial arts could resist the poison!
