The Path of Evolution

The Endless Forest has the sea to the east, ruins to the west, and ice fields to the north. So what is it to the south?

Good-question, the southern part of the forest is an area that most people don't want to set foot in.

There is a vast desert there, boundless, and some people think that hellish place is bigger than the Sahara Desert.

What is most important to survive in an evolutionary world?

The answers are varied, some say it's combat power, some say it's combat uniform, some say it's luck.

The most down-to-earth statement is: food and drinking water.

Once you enter the desert, food immediately becomes a big problem.

As for drinking water, it is even more desperate. Some people walked for half a month without seeing an oasis, and eventually died of hunger and thirst.

For these reasons, most people don’t have time to go out into the desert to die.

Only a handful of people have been there, and these people have one thing in common: they own space suits.

With a storage bag and some food and water, you can go for a walk in the desert for ten and a half days.

A few of these people entered the desert, and eighty percent of them disappeared.

The few people who came back alive couldn't help but curse MMP whenever they mentioned the desert. According to these survivors, the desert was completely barren, with no animals or plants. It was a fool's errand to hunt down evolved creatures to gain benefits. Moreover, sandstorms appear every now and then in the desert, making fun of human life.

Because of the news brought back by these people, the desert has become a forbidden area in the hearts of countless evolvers.

On April 1, 2015, this April Fool's Day really fooled Zhao Hao once.

One year ago today, he showed off his power in the ice field and teamed up with his friends to destroy the Dragon Tiger Hall and the European and American Group.

One year later today, he was in the desert, and his appearance was a bit eye-catching.

His body was buried in the yellow sand, only his head was exposed, his lips were chapped, and his hair and face were covered with sand.

Zhao Hao opened his eyes, realized his miserable situation, and wanted to scold his mother on the spot.

"Revenge, absolutely revenge!"

Zhao Hao's voice was hoarse and almost smoking.

He thought this was a trick made by Ren Wuji and deliberately tortured him.

Zhao Hao's hands and feet were weak and he tried to rush out of the yellow sand.

With his strength, it was not difficult to jump out of the yellow sand, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he felt something was wrong. The surrounding yellow sand was strange, like a prison. Every grain of sand contained powerful power, and it pinned him firmly to the sand. inside.

"What the hell is this?"

Zhao Hao was dumbfounded and strongly suspected that he was sealed in the yellow sand.

"Junior brother?"

A soft and melodious demon female voice came from a distance.

Soon a woman in white fell from the sky, it was the white deer in human form.

"Senior sister, are you here?" Zhao Hao was overjoyed and immediately realized: "Did I have a demon in my heart a few days ago, and you deliberately trapped me... no, trapped him here to prevent him from committing evil?"

"Yes, I'll let you out first."

Bai Luyu waved his hand lightly, and the power restraining Zhao Hao dissipated.

Zhao Hao broke free from the yellow sand and jumped around a few times naked, swinging a stick back and forth between his legs.

Seeing this scene, Sister Lu didn't have the shyness of a human woman and looked very calm.

This calmness comes from the surprise of the race.

For example, if a person sees a monkey, you will not feel embarrassed because the monkey is not wearing clothes.

To Bai Lu, Zhao Hao is just a different species, and they don't care whether he wears clothes or not.

Zhao Hao, on the other hand, was so embarrassed that he hurriedly changed into a battle suit to cover up his shame.

Every time he woke up, he was undressed. Zhao Hao couldn't understand the situation before, but now he understands that he and Ren Wuji have different soul-bound battle suits. When the inner demon disappears, the battle suit worn by Ren Wuji will also disappear.

"Senior sister, if you just let me out, aren't you afraid that I am the inner demon in disguise?" Zhao Hao asked curiously.

"You are not a demon." Sister Lu was very calm, as if she had seen through everything.

"Why, can you tell me the reason?" Zhao Hao became even more curious.

"Only you can call me senior sister, and only you can talk to me." Bai Lu said: "Your inner demon said a few words to me, but I didn't understand a word. He should be talking about a kind of human race." language."

"Really? Haha, very good, it seems that if I can do it, he may not be able to!"

Zhao Hao was very excited. He used to be worried that Ren Wuji had all the abilities of himself, but now it seems that is not the case. The inner demon that is born seems to start from scratch and awaken another ability, which is equivalent to practicing an alt in the game and starting from level 1 to upgrade.

This awakening also developed another part of Zhao Hao's body's potential.

For example, Ren Wuji was able to perform ice-type attacks and mastered a special move like [Death Ice Sculpture], something that Zhao Hao himself had not accomplished. On the other hand, the abilities that Zhao Hao possesses, such as the crazy sword skills and proficiency in the demon language, are not possessed by the inner demon.

Zhao Hao raised his eyes and looked around and asked, "Senior sister, where is this place?"

"The desert south of the forest." Bai Lu said.

"Did the inner demon come here on purpose?" Zhao Hao always felt that the inner demon had no good intentions.

"He wanted to go to that wooden human gathering place, but I captured him here." Bai Lu said.

"Why did you take him to the desert?" Zhao Hao couldn't keep up with Sister Lu's thoughts.

"Junior brother, I said that day, the first step to conquer the inner demon is to find out his identity and understand his characteristics." Bai Lu said slowly: "Now that the situation of the inner demon is clear, junior brother thinks that the second step should be What?"

Zhao Hao understood that this was Sister Lu's intention to test him. If he answered poorly, Bailu would probably ignore him in the future, so he showed off his IQ: "Know yourself and the enemy and you will win in any battle. If I understand the enemy's situation, I can use one Disgust him in the most uncomfortable way possible!"

As he spoke, he slapped his forehead suddenly: "I understand, the inner demon is among the five elements. Since it is called the ice demon, it should be a variation of the water attribute. Earth overcomes water, trapped in this big desert, filled with yellow sand, I guess it’s very uncomfortable for him to eat dirt when he opens his mouth.”

"Junior brother is indeed very talented." Bai Lu showed an appreciative smile: "Your guess is absolutely correct. The inner demon was trapped here for three days, screaming day and night, extremely uncomfortable, and finally gave up control of your body. .”

Zhao Hao jumped up with excitement: "If I practice in this desert, will my inner demons not dare to come out again?"

"Junior brother is half right. The inner demon is restrained by the surrounding environment and does not want to come out unless necessary." Bai Lu said: "However, this method can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause. Unless you are trapped in the desert all your life, he will sooner or later Will show up again."

"Then what should I do next?" Zhao Hao asked.

"Your situation is not optimistic. If elsewhere, the inner demon occupies your body every three days, it will become stronger and stronger, and the time it takes to control your body will become longer and longer. One day, it will kill your original mind and completely control this body. With a body." Bai Lu said earnestly: "Staying in the desert can give you some buffer time, and then it depends on your personal destiny."

Zhao Hao was shocked when he heard this: "Aren't you going to teach me the secret method of cultivating demons in the heart?"

"The cultivation of demons in the Taoist heart is just an ancient legend, and there is no method to follow." Bai Lu said helplessly: "What senior sister can do is to help you suppress the inner demon when it appears. As for how to conquer the inner demon, Demon, it’s all up to you, there’s nothing I can do.”
