The sword is the devil

Chapter 557 Undead Creature【Wish everyone a happy new year】

[Thunder Fire Forged Golden Body] is an unexpected harvest, but he still has a small flaw in his swordsmanship: how to solve the problem of the sword spirit of the flying sword in the flying sword state.

Is it distracted to fly out as part of the sword spirit?Or make another flying sword?Either way, there is no way forward.

He has already realized that it may be difficult to solve this problem in the Tongtian Realm, because without Jindan, his mental strength in Dantian is not enough to support him to complete such improvements.

You can only find the answer in the practice. If you consider that it is impossible to solve all the problems at a low level in the process of personal practice, then such a flaw does not seem so unacceptable.

Hou Tiao followed the camel team in the desert, and after more than ten days, they approached a water source.

The traveling route of the camel caravan is not always a straight line, which is very different from the understanding of the inland people; the inland people always subconsciously think that since the desert is as flat as a mirror, it is a matter of course for a trip to travel in a straight line, but In fact, human mortals decide their routes in the desert according to the distribution of water sources.

Maybe it's a small oasis, maybe it's a water pool, maybe it's a dark well, which can provide the necessary drinking water for people and sand camels. They can't carry these things in full. If this is the case, then don't even think about bringing any goods. up.

What Shaka's camel team found was such a small water pond, with a radius of tens of feet, appearing in the sand dunes, as if it would disappear anytime and anywhere.

"This water moor is seasonal, appearing in spring and summer, and disappearing in autumn and winter, so our trade routes are not fixed in different seasons; in fact, there are many water moors like this in the Kuxu Desert, but they are very Not fixed, maybe it will disappear in a few years, and then another one will pop up somewhere else, last for a few years and then disappear..."

Hou Tiao nodded, "In other words, they are all coincidences after the rainy season, not because there is groundwater here?"

Shaka grinned, "That's right. The rainy season in the desert is a joke in the interior, but it still has some consequences after all. This is just the edge of the desert, and it's far from going deep into the desert..."

Hou Tiao watched the camel team dismount one hundred feet away from the water, and raised his bow and knife, "This is, is there danger near the water?"

Shaka was very cautious, "Yes, a pool of water is the source of life for all nearby creatures. This is true for humans, and it is especially true for those creatures. All kinds of creatures in the vicinity will crowd here, and all kinds of poisonous insects will come here. , including sand wolf and sand fox sand sculptures.

But the most important thing is that although the undead creatures do not rely on water sources, they know that it is the best way to surprise humans near the water sources. "

After thinking about it, he still made his request, "Although the possibility is unlikely, if something unexpected happens, please help me."

Hou Tiao waved his hand, "Needless to say, since we are in the same team, of course we share weal and woe. This is also the purpose of my coming here."

His consciousness has been monitoring the vicinity of the water, and he hasn't found anything unusual for the time being; he knows very little about the undead creatures in the desert, and he doesn't expect to get much useful information from these mortals. Understand the perspective of a monk, and cannot look at the problem from the perspective of a practitioner.

Underground, he could feel that the number of poisonous insects had increased significantly, and there were still a few sand wolves lying on the other side of the water.

There is no problem within a few hundred feet around the water pool, but this refers to the ground. Just like the threats in the sea basically come from under the sea surface, most of the threats in the desert come from under the sand layer.

Sha Jia commanded the crowd to divide into two teams, one team stayed where they were, and the other team led the sand camels to the water pool to drink water, filling up the water bladders that had begun to dry up.

They are all cautious when doing these things, even though they have done it thousands of times, they still dare not take it lightly.

Hou Tiao didn't go to the water pool, but stayed where he was, so that he could take care of everyone more conveniently. Sha Shi stood beside him, holding a bow and arrow higher than others in his hand, and aimed at the boys in the northwest. It is said that bows and arrows have been their only toys since they were young.

The child was not nervous, "Uncle Tau, it's actually nothing, most of the time it's safe, just like when we came here; there are very few undead creatures in the south of Loulan City, but it's hard to say in the north of Loulan City Well, I heard from those adventurers that encountering undead creatures is a common occurrence."

Hou Tiao smiled, "The monks in Loulan City, don't they ever dispatch to protect the caravan?"

Shashi is quite open-minded, "Where can it be protected? There are different teams coming in and out of the customs and outside the customs. The responsibility of the Taoists is to patrol, and the main direction will be in the north of Loulan City, looking for big stocks. The traces of creatures, as for the occasional two or three, you can only rely on luck."

"How many practitioners are there in Loulan City?"

Sha Shi scratched his head, "I don't know, the gas trainers are all in the area where they live, and ordinary people can't get in; but there are hundreds of gas trainers, and most of them travel with the adventure teams going north."

... Sha Jia and other four or five people led a dozen or so sand camels to drink water by the pond, while confronting a few sand wolves on the opposite side. Neither side acted rashly; In addition to being tough, you must also learn to coexist. These things cannot be killed, and it is impossible to take the precious water as your own.

Suddenly, a sand camel broke free from the rein in horror and ran away. Immediately afterwards, the entire camel team began to explode; animals' senses are always more acute than humans, and the next moment they ran away, three The black shadow drilled out from the sand and attacked everyone in Shaka.

These sand people are not completely unprepared. No one tried to control these animals when the sand camels exploded. They can't run very far, and they will stop and wait after leaving the danger for a certain distance. What's more important is to deal with the undead that may appear on the sand. biology.

The five people formed a group, and the three black shadows had already drilled out of the sand, like huge bugs, their bodies were incomplete, without flesh and blood, only a piece of bone was supporting them, but the red light in their eyes could tell their tyranny.

In addition to killing, there is no other emotion.

Three of Shaka's five people swung their knives in front, and the two behind them shot with arrows; the arrows hit the bones and made a streak of fire, but they didn't hurt the undead creatures; It is difficult to cause fatal damage to them.

Waving huge bone claws, Shaka and the five kept retreating, and the situation became more and more dangerous.

Hou Niao held down the impulsive sandstone, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't go there, leave it to me over there, your most important duty is to guard this place."
