At first, the snake venom had not been completely removed, and the injuries on the legs and feet of the young man in gray had not yet healed, so their movements would be somewhat affected, so the two of them did not run very fast.
An hour later, the remaining snake venom in the gray-clothed boy's body was completely eliminated. By noon, the redness and swelling on my ankles had completely subsided, and everything was back to normal.
In the late autumn afternoon, there were a few light clouds floating in the sky, and the vast sandy land was still in sight.
The two people who had been silent all the way seemed to suddenly become interested. It was unclear who started to compete first. Bian Yao and the young man in gray both raised their speed to the limit. No one had the slightest intention of giving in, and both had expressions on their faces. The color of excitement.
In this way, the originally quiet and orderly journey inexplicably turned into a chasing game again. But on the boundless sand, behind two running figures, billowing dust was rising.
It goes without saying that Bian Yao is already an early-stage dreamer, and his strength has been improved. And in terms of realm level, it is also higher than the sword evil boy in gray. On the other hand, the latter, because he was carrying two big baggage and a sword, so the speed of the two at this time had become evenly matched.
After about two sticks of incense, after a fierce chase, neither of the two could pull the other down, and finally had to go hand in hand. Before nightfall, they chose a piece of higher sandy land as a resting place for the night.
As soon as the young man in gray put down his baggage and sword, he closed his eyes and sat up on the ground to meditate. The main purpose of practicing Jiansha is to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, then condense and transform it into pure sword energy, and store it in the body.
For cultivators, whether they are dream cultivators or sword cultivators, their ability to resist hunger will be enhanced as their cultivation level increases. As far as the current boy in gray is concerned, he usually only eats something every four or five days, which is not even the limit.
Since he had just broken through to the realm of dream madness, Bian Yao was still immersed in deep joy and had no intention of paying attention to his fellow sword cultivators beside him. He sat beside him silently, happily eating a few spiritual fruits. He did not rush into sleep to practice, but quietly thought about his own affairs.
Before a dream cultivator reaches the state of dream madness, when using "Void Dream Shadow", no matter how fast the spell is performed, only one "phantom object" can appear each time. But after becoming a dream maniac, he can hallucinate two or more phantoms at once. For example, Bian Yao could only transform one stone at a time before, but now he can transform two or more rocks at once.
In this way, after entering Dream Mania, while the degree of materialization of "phantom objects" is enhanced, the number of illusion objects can also increase, which accordingly increases the effectiveness and power of "virtual dream shadows".
Generally speaking, in the early stage, Dream Maniac can release up to six to seven illusion objects at a time, in the middle stage, it can reach up to fifteen, and in the later stage, it can exceed twenty. What needs to be pointed out is that although the dream maniac can release multiple illusions at one time, in actual application, very few people will do that unless it is really necessary. First of all, the greater the number of transformed objects, the greater and faster the consumption of spiritual power! The second thing is that when Meng Xiu used the "Virtual Dream Shadow" technique before becoming the Dream King, the degree of materialization of the phantom object was less than half of the original entity, so the lethality was still very limited.
The crescent moon rises, the sky has just darkened, and the cool night wind blows gently through the sand dunes.
After pondering for a moment, Bian Yao took out a piece of writing from the space bag, and then focused his consciousness into it to read. While he was drinking tea, he exited consciousness again from the slips, and a smile couldn't help appearing on his face.
It is actually not difficult to release multiple phantom objects at the same time. You only need to think of the appearance and number of the phantom objects in your mind one after another. Of course, because I am not yet proficient at it at the beginning, if I release too many phantoms at once, the speed of casting "Void Phantom" will be affected to some extent.
Bian Yao has figured out the key points, and he decided to do a practice test. In order to prevent the stone from making noise when it fell to the ground and attracting something, he chose to transform into a flying sword.
Adjust your breathing, close your eyes, pause for a moment, then lift your fingers and swing forward suddenly.
In an instant! Two flying swords appeared in mid-air, flew directly forward, and soon disappeared again
*************************************
The next morning, while Bian Yao and the boy in gray were on their way, a strong tornado suddenly hit from the east. The sand and gravel they rolled up were flying all over the sky, completely blocking the sky. In the violent wind and dust storm with extremely low visibility, they lost their way and ran northwestward with their faces buried in their faces.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? until the afternoon, the two of them escaped from the ravaging area of ??the dragon whirlwind, exhausted and ran up a sand dune, ready to rest.
After reaching the top of the hill, the two of them almost sat down together, leaning back on the sand, breathing heavily.
Here and now, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and time passes quietly.
"We seem to be going in the wrong direction." Bian Yao murmured, turning his head to look at the sky. A beam of sunlight pierced his eyes, and he quickly squinted his eyes.
"It's not too far anyway. Just turn around and continue walking south later." The young man in gray put his head in his hands and looked up at the endless sky intently.
After resting in silence for a while, Bian Yao suddenly stood up, put his hands on his hips, and stood looking towards the distant sky.
"Hey! What is that?" When Bian Yao cast his sight somewhere in the southwest, his face suddenly froze, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly and greeted urgently: "Hey! Get up and take a look."
The boy in gray clothes rolled his eyes and glanced at Bian Yao, then jumped up from the sand and stared in the direction he pointed. Far far away in the southwest, among the sandy yellow, there was a faint hint of dark color, which was obviously different from the color of the sand.
"It's too far to see clearly! Go over and have a look." The boy in gray looked at it silently for a while, with a hint of curiosity on his face.
Without saying much, the two hurriedly walked down the top of the hill and hurried towards the southwest.
As the distance shrinks, the small dark outline in the sight gradually becomes larger and clearer. Half an hour later, Bian Yao and the young man in gray stopped in front of a depression with a radius of several miles. The scene in front of them came into their eyes clearly, and the two of them couldn't help but have a look of joy on their eyebrows.
This is a world away from home in the vast sandy land, a veritable oasis. Tall and green trees grow on the outermost edge of the depression. Looking inside, you can see more beautiful flowers blooming, as well as lush grass, and you can even hear the chirping of birds coming from it. Although it was already late autumn, this oasis still exuded unusual vitality.
Stepping through the loose sand and passing through trees of varying heights, the faces of the two teenagers were full of unexpected joy. They moved forward slowly with their mouths open, looking around from time to time. When they arrived at the center of the oasis, they discovered the water source. It was a circular pool about three feet in diameter. The water was very clear but bottomless.
Out of novelty, the two of them wandered around the pool. Looking at the expressions on their faces, it was obvious that they had forgotten about rushing. Suddenly, Bian Yao stretched out his hand and pointed towards the water, shouting in surprise: "Look! There is a fish there!"
Following the direction he pointed, on the surface of the pool, there was a silver-gray wild fish about six inches long, swimming leisurely with its tail swaying, and slowly approaching the edge of the pool.
Naturally, the young man in gray also saw it. He stared at the water with cold eyes, put down the baggage quietly, gently opened the sword-wrapped cloth, and then carefully pulled out the simple sword.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed through! Look at the young man in gray holding the hilt of the sword. The sword has been pierced into the water at an angle, with almost no splash.
The boy in gray clothes raised his wrist to pick up the sword in the water. The silver-gray wild fish slipped from the tip of the sword and fell on the grass beside the pool, twisting its body and jumping around.
Seeing this, Bian Yao hurriedly ran over and squatted down, reached out and grabbed the lively fish, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Bake it and eat it. Let's see how the fish here tastes!" After leaving a few words, the boy in gray walked away along the bank of the pool and continued to look for the target.
After hearing this, Bian Yao was stunned for a moment, then grinned again, "Then I'll go find some firewood!" He volunteered and shouted, at the same time throwing down the fish in his hand, and ran around to look for dried fish with a smile on his face. of wood
It is still early at this time, and it will take almost an hour for the sun to set.
Under a large green tree with dense leaves, Bian Yao and the boy in gray sat quietly against the trunk with their eyes wide open. There was a pile of wood burning "crackingly" not far away. Three large silver-gray wild fish were clad in wood branches, sprinkled with salt and some other seasonings, and were placed diagonally above the fire for barbecue.
It was not long before the scent of fish meat, mixed with the scent of seasonings, filled the air and headed towards the two people under the tree.
At this moment, a thin green tongue, more than a foot long, flashed towards the top of the fire like an electric switch! In the blink of an eye, a freshly grilled wild fish disappeared.
Almost at the same moment, the two young men suddenly jumped up from under the tree, each holding a sword in their hands, shaking their heads and looking at the grass beside them with wary faces.
I saw a giant sand lizard with a gray-green back lying there, its big pupils protruding, and it was about seven feet long from head to tail. Watch its cheeks move slightly, its throat??Suddenly made a "gurgling" sound, as if he had swallowed something.
It is clear! The "fish thief" just now was this big sand lizard that appeared quietly. It was probably attracted by the scent of fish meat.
When the delicious food was ripe, it was snatched by this beast in front of his eyes. Bian Yao's face turned red with anger. He suddenly raised his finger and waved forward, and saw three sharp swords flying out of the air in an instant, towards the big sand in the grass. The lizard stabbed over quickly.
Who would have thought that this giant sand lizard is very smart, not only has its vision sensitive, but its reaction speed is also extremely fast! As soon as Bian Yao raised his finger, it turned around, flew forward on all fours and fled into the distance in the blink of an eye.
The two of them watched the sand lizard flee with cold eyes and did not pursue it. Even if they killed it, it would be useless. They couldn't cut open its belly and take out the fish to eat. Fortunately there were two left, otherwise they would have chased it and chopped it down to express their hatred.
This is an unexpected episode, a little annoying but helpless.
"Go and eat! Don't get robbed again!" The boy in gray suddenly said, then turned and walked towards the fire, picked up a skewer of grilled fish, sat down under the tree and enjoyed it by himself.
"I could have eaten half a fish, but now I can only eat one." Bian Yao walked to the fire and pulled up the remaining grilled fish, thinking sadly.
After a few steps, he came to the side of the young man in gray and sat down. Bian Yao opened his mouth and gently bit into a piece of fish back meat, chewing it carefully for a few times. The outside was slightly charred and crispy, the inside was delicious, white and tender, and the aroma was overflowing in his mouth. He nodded with satisfaction.
"Is there any more wine? Give me a jar!" The young man in gray suddenly said.
Hearing this, Bian Yao smiled "hehe" and quickly took out a jar of spirit fruit wine and handed it to him, and opened a jar himself. The two of them just sat under the tree, enjoying a sip of wine and a sip of fish, completely forgetting about time and rushing.
In the sandy oasis, under the big green trees, the two of them enjoyed the picnic for nearly half an hour before it was over. When the wine jar was empty, the sun began to tilt towards the west, and the colorful sunset gradually flew out.
The two planned to spend the night here and leave tomorrow. Lying on the soft grass was much more comfortable than the sand. The two drunken people leaned against the tree trunk, half-opening and half-closing their eyes, quietly staring at the sky where the first twinkling stars appeared, welcoming the coming dusk.
