Infinite Bloodcore

It's noon.

The scorching sun hangs high over the withered desert.

Waves of heat kept coming, and the gravel under my feet was frighteningly hot.

Hunger, thirst and lack of energy make one dizzy.

Cangxu and Zidi staggered when walking. Several times, their knees and legs almost weakened and they fell to the ground.

In view of this, Zhenjin and others had to hide in the shadow of the dunes to rest.

Bai Ya was still unconscious, while the remaining three were breathing hard.

It seemed that the gods had taken rare pity on these poor people - the wind was blowing in the desert.

Although the wind was not strong, it took away some of the heat.

Under the blowing of the wind, the windward side of the sand slope is covered with fine sand, while on the back side of the sand slope, quicksand is flowing out.

The rolling gravel makes a rustling sound, and the resting person cannot appreciate the beauty of the emptiness of the sound itself.

A lot of physical energy was consumed, which made Zhen Jin and others feel very tortured with empty stomachs.

Zhen Jin felt so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

As soon as he entered the shadow on the back side of the dune, he placed the unconscious Bai Ya on the ground.

When he first set out, he carried Bai Ya on his back and didn't feel it was a heavy burden. But now, he felt like he was carrying an elephant on his back.

The burden disappeared, and Zhenjin suddenly felt relaxed all over.

He didn't forget to check Bai Ya's status.

"I have a high fever again." Zhen Jin's eyes darkened.

Bai Ya's condition is recurring and very bad.

Zhenjin wanted to help him, but Bai Ya had already used Zidi's medicine.

If there is sufficient food and water, Bai Ya's body can receive good nutritional supplements.

But the current situation is that Zhen Jin and others only drank a few small drinks of water on the way and did not eat at all.

In this regard, Zhenjin is really helpless.

He could only open the mouth of the water bag, open Bai Ya's mouth, and pour a small stream of water in.

The water has long been divided into three equal parts, and everyone has a water bag. What Zhenjin gave Bai Ya was his own share.

Cang Xu and Zidi watched Zhen Jin do this without saying a word.

They both sat slumped on the ground, motionless, not wanting to speak at all, or in other words, they didn't even have the strength to speak.

Zhenjin also remained silent.

He sat quietly, feeling like an hourglass, and his physical energy was like grains of sand, falling into his body one by one and accumulating it.

Since waking up on this island, Needle Gold has never been so hungry and thirsty.

The closest he got was the day he broke free from being buried at the bottom of the sand. But at that time, he had food - an eyeless desert viper.

Now Zhenjin looked at the withered yellow desert and the vast sky and earth, expecting something like a viper to attack him.

Once upon a time, he had just eliminated the rats and had food and loyal subordinates. He was teleported that night, and all the hard work came to nothing. He emerged from the sandy bottom and was attacked by a viper, and his heart was filled with sorrow.

But now, as he sat on the gravel, recalling the scene, he felt that the viper's attack might be a gift from nature, or the mercy of the gods.

A sudden enlightenment came to Zhen Jin's heart.

"Haha." He couldn't help but chuckle.

The sound aroused doubts in Zidi and Cangxu.

Sensing the gazes of the two men, Zhenjin explained: "There have been many, many times when the blows and tortures of fate happened to me. Every time, I thought that I had suffered the heaviest suffering in the world. "

"However, in fact, it is not."

"There is no most difficult moment. In life, there will be even more painful hardships."

"My situation now is more difficult than when I was attacked by a viper. Maybe I will be even more embarrassed in the future."

Zidi was silent.

They had exchanged information a long time ago, and the girl knew what happened to Zhenjin after they were separated.

Cang Xu also laughed out loud.

"Sir, after hearing what you said, I felt inexplicably relaxed."

"Your mentality is no longer optimistic, but open-minded."

Zidi thought thoughtfully and spoke softly: "Suffering is a kind of wealth. The difference lies in whether people can dig out this wealth from suffering."

Zhen Jin recalled the scenes he had experienced on the island since he woke up, and especially thought of the magic core in his heart: "If this is the case, then I will be a millionaire."

The conversation ends here.

After these few words of conversation, everyone immediately felt increasingly tired.

They remained silent for a long time.

As time goes by, the power of the vicious sunlight weakens.

Zhen Jin carried Bai Ya on his back, and continued on his way with Zidi and Cang Xu.

Their luck turned for the better.

Along the way, they found a dead Salix tree, as well as many spiders and scorpions, the latter of which became precious food.

They also found a desert lizard and a desert jerboa.

This jerboa is just an ordinary beast. It is small and about the same size as an ordinary mouse. Its ears are very wide and its hearing is very sensitive. It has yellow fur that is very close to the desert. Its hind limbs are well developed and can jump a distance of one or two meters with a slight jump.

After Zhenjin chased it, its body was put into Zhenjin's pocket.

The lizard and jerboa were not eaten immediately, and the rest basically went into the mouths of Cangxu and Zidi.

Despite this, these supplements were not enough to keep up with their physical exertion, so they had to stop many times to rest along the way.

The efficiency of the march was greatly reduced, and by the time night fell, no one had reached their destination - the Jinma Stone Group.

Cang Xu looked at the surrounding terrain, looked at the stars, and drew a map on the gravel.

"I don't know much about astrology. But the surrounding terrain has become familiar. We have only been in and out of the lava landscape in the past few days, so the dune terrain should not change too much."

"So, we are not far from the Jinma Stone Group."

"You can arrive there early tomorrow morning by walking a short distance."

"Just rest here tonight, sir, we can't leave anymore."

The old scholar sighed, and the night wind made his snow-white beard tremble slightly.

Zidi and Cangxu both knew the benefits of rushing to the Jinma Stone Group, but they couldn't walk anymore.

In fact, acupuncture is not much better.

The young knight nodded: "We have firewood obtained after cutting down the salix. The night in the desert is very cold, but we can light a bonfire to survive the night."

The sparks collided with each other to produce sparks, the firewood was extremely dry, and the bonfire burned smoothly.

Everyone sat around the bonfire.

The bodies of the small lizards and jerboas were pierced by two wooden strips and held up by needle gold, allowing them to be heated and grilled over the fire.

Smelling the aroma of barbecue, Zidi couldn't help but feel her Adam's apple rolling.

"This must be the most delicious dish in the world!" Zidi said, with longing in her eyes.

Cang Xu also stared closely at the two pieces of barbecue. He moved his eyes away with difficulty and grabbed a handful of sand under him: "When I look at this handful of sand now, I think they are extremely cute. They are so cute that I can't help but Want to swallow them.”

Zidi laughed and agreed with deep sympathy: "I think those black volcanic lava are very similar to fluffy chocolate bread with a burnt surface."

"I have read some historical records. Famine broke out in the empire, and many of the refugees ate themselves to death by eating dirt."

"I understand how they feel now. Hunger can really drive people crazy. They don't think about anything but eating. They want to take a bite of everything they see, eat grass, dirt and sand."

Cang Xu sighed: "There are indeed people who eat dirt. Famines occur every few years on the southeast and southwestern coasts of the empire. The refugees on the seaside collect dirt, mix it with butter and salt, and make mud biscuits."

"The Shatta family once sent me to deliver a batch of relief supplies. When I arrived at the local area, I also tasted this kind of mud biscuits."

"Speaking of which, the texture of this mud biscuit is actually very delicate. But as soon as you eat it, you will feel the unique wet smell of the seaside."

"These mud biscuits are basically the size of an adult's hand. Refugees will spread these biscuits on the ground to withstand the sun."

"I just took a small bite, and the earthy smell stayed in my mouth for several hours."

"The local refugees have been eating these things for a long time, and the elderly and children have been eating them. Therefore, they are all skinny and suffer from chronic diarrhea. Almost every day, a child dies due to diarrhea."

"You know what? When I was on the road during the day, I made another vow: But now if there are mud cookies, I am willing to eat them until my stomach is full!"

Zhen Jin turned the meat skewers in his hand and asked: "Speaking of digestion ability... Mr. Cangxu, what is the digestion ability of beasts? What kind of beast has the strongest digestion ability?"

Cang Xu pondered: "Compared to humans, the digestive ability of beasts is very powerful."

"Hyenas are notorious for eating bones, so almost all corpses visited by hyenas have no bones left."

"The bearded vulture has extremely corrosive digestive juices and can easily digest bones and marrow."

"Boas swallow food raw, whether it's a crocodile or a baby elephant, it can be digested."

"Generally speaking, birds have the strongest digestive capacity. When eating insects, it only takes fifteen minutes to digest. When eating food such as berries, it can be excreted in thirty minutes. Some seabirds eat fish, and some fish just swallow them. When you get down, the fish tail is still near your mouth, but the fish head has already dissolved in your stomach.”

"Then what's the digestion ability of Gun Scorpion?" Zhen Jin asked again.

Cangxu said: "It's very powerful! The Gun Scorpion is a magical beast, and its ability is higher than that of ordinary beasts. It can eat metal and has extremely powerful digestion ability, which can completely dissolve and decompose metal. According to my anatomy, the digestion speed is also very fast. , it only takes about five minutes to digest the eaten metal stones."

Zhenjin nodded and stopped talking.

When the meat skewers between the jerboas and the lizards were about to get heated up, Zhen Jin suddenly changed his expression and made a gesture of listening.

This action immediately aroused the alertness of Zi Di and Cang Xu.

"There is movement." Zhen Jin's face darkened.

Zi Di and Cang Xu didn't hear anything, but they knew that Zhen Jin was a Dou Qi practitioner, and his physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people. It was normal to hear some noises.

"You guys eat first, and I'll go on guard and drive away or kill any wild beasts that may be there."

"Try to stay where you are and don't move."

Zhenjin paid attention to the two of them, handed the meat skewers to them, and stood up slowly.

"Sir, you must be careful." Zidi was extremely concerned.

Zhen Jin nodded, stepped quickly, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

He first circled around and confirmed that there was no trace of any wild beasts, then he aimed in a direction and ran quickly.

No longer carrying Bai Ya on his back, and without Zidi and Cang Xu slowing him down, Zhenjin arrived at the Jinmaishi Group soon after.

The Jinmaishi Group is also very safe, with no gun scorpion activity.

Zhen Jin took a deep breath, with a trace of hesitation on his face.

But soon, he made up his mind.

He started to take off his clothes.

Soon, he took off all his clothes and became completely naked.

The next moment, he activated his heart core and his whole body glowed red.

The rich red light covered his face and body, leaving only a human-shaped red outline.

Then very quickly, the red human-shaped outline collapsed like water and turned into a scorpion-shaped outline.

The red light faded, and the needle gold disappeared, replaced by a spear scorpion.

The breath of life at the silver level overflows.

Zhen Jin turned into a spear scorpion leader!

This was the first time his body had completely mutated, and there was no trace of human beings in his body.

It was actually very risky to do so, but Zhenjin had to do it.

He is too hungry.

He was at least a silver-level Dou Qi practitioner, so the two meat skewers were of no use at all. In fact, even if Zidi eats them all, she still won't be full.

Therefore, Zhenjin decided to take another approach.

Golden stone is not human food.

Then, he would try to become a complete gun scorpion.

Zhenjin's perception at this moment has undergone a drastic change.

The night was not so deep for him. With the help of Gunscorpion's eyes, he can see far in the dark.

The Gun Scorpion also has only one pair of eyes. The main eye is directly in front of the scorpion's head, and the two pairs of secondary eyes are located on both sides of the Gun Scorpion's head.

Therefore, Zhenjin’s vision at this moment is very broad.

Gunscorpion also has a good sense of smell, and Zhenjin immediately smelled the strong fragrance.

He soon discovered that the scent came from the hemp stones around him.

People can't smell anything from gold and stone. At most, it smells like stone or metal. But at this moment, Zhen Jin, who had turned into a gun scorpion, smelled a wonderful aroma that he had never smelled before.

This wonderful aroma immediately tempted Zhen Jin to raise the scorpion tail behind him.

The scorpion tail shot out with electricity, piercing the gold and stone.

Zhen Jin then used his claws like giant pincers and cooperated with the scorpion tail to smash the gold and granite full of holes into many pieces.

The claws crush these fragments and put them into the mouthparts of the spear scorpion.

Acupuncture chewing.

"Oh oh oh!"

"tasty!"

"It's like a chocolate-flavored biscuit. It has a crunchy texture and a touch of silky texture at the end."

Zhen Jin almost screamed.

It turns out that for gun scorpions, gold and stone is such a delicacy!

The taste system of gun scorpions is completely different from that of humans.

Acupuncture ate a lot and kept chewing.

He is very hungry.

He ate two large pieces of gold and stone before he stopped.

He lay on the ground in the form of a spear scorpion and remained motionless for a while, making sure that all the gold and stone in his body had been digested.

A numb and itchy feeling began to appear throughout the body.

"What's going on?" Zhen Jin felt strange. He had obviously been paying attention to his internal organs and digested the gold stone very smoothly and thoroughly.

"Could it be that?"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhen Jin's heart.

He thought of what Cang Xu once said, to the effect that the Gun Scorpion could absorb the metal in the stone and make its scorpion shell stronger after eating the gold stone.

Zhen Jin immediately swung the scorpion tail and stabbed the shell on his back.

However, they are both part of the acupuncture body. The scorpion tail and the scorpion shell have the same strength and cannot cause any damage.

The needle gold mobilizes the heart core and restores the human form, but retains the scorpion shell on the chest.

Perhaps because there was only this small piece of scorpion shell left, the numbing and itching feeling concentrated in the chest and became extremely intense.

The five fingers of Zhenjin turned into spider blades and stabbed towards the chest suddenly.

The brand new spider blade is very sharp, piercing the scorpion shell and making incisions.

Immediately, the unbearable numbness, soreness, and itchiness of Acupuncture was relieved by most of it.

But after a few breaths, the strange feeling became stronger again.

Zhen Jin looked at his chest and found that the wound on the scorpion shell on his chest had mostly healed.

There was joy on Zhen Jin's face.

Because, he has proven that his guess is right.

He immediately stabbed himself in the chest with the spider blade again.

I poked it again and again, making many small holes.

The scorpion shell healed quickly every time, and the numbness and itching gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely.

Zhen Jin touched his chest and found that the newly grown scorpion shell was stronger than before.

"This should be the reason why the silver spear scorpion is chasing after me."

"It turns out it wanted to be beaten and hurt!"

"I lured them to the Jinmaishi Group before and let them eat again, but they harmed themselves."

Realizing this truth, the joy on Zhen Jin's face disappeared, replaced by a bitter smile full of helplessness.

Zhen Jin didn't stay too long. After eating, he immediately rushed back.

Returning to the bonfire again, I saw Zidi and Cang Xu.

The jerboa and lizard meat skewers had been grilled long ago, but neither Zidi nor Cangxu ate them, even though they were very hungry.

"Sir, you can eat."

"Master Zhenjin, please don't be unnecessarily humble. Only if you have enough physical strength can you ensure the safety of all of us, right? Even if we have sufficient physical strength, we can't deal with the ferocious monsters."

Although Zi Di and Cang Xu were very hungry, they still unanimously tried their best to persuade Zhen Jin to eat the two portions of meat skewers.

Of course Zhenjin refused, he was already full.

The two sides gave in to each other, but this time Zidi and Cangxu were firm.

Zhen Jin could only change his expression: "I still have enough physical energy, and my physical condition is much better than the two of you. You eat too little food. If you don't eat these, you may not even be able to survive tonight. These firewood are very Might not last a night.”

Having said this, Zhenjin stared at Zidi lovingly: "I said, I will protect you until the end of my life."

Then, the young man looked at Cang Xu again: "Old scholar, even if you don't want to rely on me or be my subordinate, I will do my best to save you. I once swore an oath to do my best to save everyone. Including you, Also includes white buds.”

"Do you want me to break my oath? Will my knight's honor be damaged?" Zhenjin's expression became very solemn.

Zidi and Cangxu both looked at Zhenjin, feeling as if his whole body was glowing with holy light. For a moment, both of them were shaken physically and mentally and remained silent.

"belch."

At this moment, Zhen Jin couldn't help but burped.

Cangxu, Zidi:? ? ?
