"Hu~"
Xuan Mo looked at Liu You'er, who at that moment had a stiff expression, slowly swallowing a coin-sized Core. As she absorbed the energy, her brows furrowed slightly before becoming stiff again. She turned to him and said somewhat perplexedly, "I know you killed it, but you can't eat the Mutated Snake."
"…"
Xuan Mo felt a bit of a headache. How could the other person not understand his deeply affectionate gaze? Did she really think he was worried about the Core? It was frustrating.
"Where do we go next?"
"Sigh~"
He sighed helplessly and said lazily, "We need to cross this desert, find an oasis, and then locate the mechanism to get through. However, the mechanism has changed now, so we have to find it ourselves."
There was no choice; the temperature in the desert had reached sixty degrees. Although his body had evolved, he still lacked the energy to be active.
"Mm."
Liu You'er nodded and glanced at the dead snake. Its large copper bell-like eyes were staring at them, its tongue hanging limply by its mouth, devoid of vitality. A deep wound on its neck nearly severed its head from its body, with only a layer of skin connecting them.
She recalled the earlier scene; although it wasn't dangerous, dealing with a Mutated Snake that possessed two types of Abilities, was incredibly fast and highly intelligent... was indeed quite troublesome.
The left head of the snake had fire Ability, the right head was venomous, while the middle head had no Ability but was likely responsible for strategic thinking.
Fortunately, although its sense of smell and heat sensing systems had evolved to perfection, its eyesight was still like that of a severely nearsighted human.
However, what was most terrifying was that she observed these heads belonged to different species of snakes, indicating they had been artificially fused together. The most likely culprit behind this was W.
If her guess was correct, then the monster at the center of the desert would probably be even more formidable.
"Oh, right."
"Mm?"
"This desert has..."
While speaking, they took a break for a while, waiting for the sun to gradually set before continuing their journey. However, their conversation was interrupted by a rumbling sound coming from beneath the sand.
"How big is this desert?"
Liu You'er asked calmly.
"Not very big... just over 300,000 square kilometers."
Liu You'er froze for a moment, turned to look at the indifferent person, and asked again, "How big is the oasis?"
"Ahem, well, let's deal with this first~ no rush, no rush."
Suddenly, a dark mass about one meter high crawled out from the sand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a deep black Scorpion, one meter tall and four to five meters long, with two large and powerful pincers making a harsh scraping sound.
"Aren't Scorpions solitary?"
Liu You'er raised an eyebrow, looking at the somewhat dazed Xuan Mo, and sighed in frustration.
At this moment, they had walked into the midst of a swarm of Scorpions—no, it should be called an army of Scorpions. For some reason, these Scorpions had been lurking without making a sound, as if they had dug a trap...
But who had dug the trap? This group of Scorpions or the humans?
Underground Base
W watched the two on the screen, a smirk appearing on his lips. After sharing the video with another person, he looked at Liu You'er with great interest and muttered to himself, "She's become like this; do you really think you can save her? Ha, naive."
B City Base
Chuze heard the alarm sound and removed his white gloves. The simple action somehow exuded a sense of calm elegance.
He remained unaffected and calmly returned to his desk. His fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard for a moment until a video popped up, revealing the figure he had been longing for.
She was swiftly weaving through the army of Scorpions, leaving behind a trail of severed limbs. The toxins sprayed everywhere, but she dodged them at strange angles, narrowly avoiding danger.
Suddenly, while dealing with the swarm of Scorpions attacking her, a scorpion tail struck at her back from an awkward angle, causing her to stand up from her seat in alarm.
Strangely, Liu You'er seemed to flicker and avoided the scorpion tail just in time. Then, a drop of blue blood fell, and the scorpion's tail fell to the ground. At the same moment, several wind blades shattered the scorpion into pieces, and a long-haired man appeared beside her.
The two began to cooperate, with the wind carrying sharp White Lightning that looked beautiful yet deadly in the night. Even though they were as small as a solitary boat in the ocean amidst the army of Scorpions, they would not be underestimated.
At that moment, he finally saw the woman's face clearly. His pupils constricted in shock as he collapsed back into his chair, muttering, "How... can it spread so quickly?"
"Hiss."
Xuan Mo was splashed by a milky-white toxin shot from one of the scorpions. However, since this toxin had no corrosive properties, he didn't pay it much mind. But after a while, he began to feel dizzy and nauseous; his movements slowed down, and even the wind blades became misaligned.
Liu You'er noticed something was wrong and looked at him. She saw him squinting with an unnatural flush on his face.
"Hey!"
She frowned and grabbed his arm. With a swift turn, she kicked away a nearby Scorpion and lashed out with an electric whip that sent the Scorpions in front of them flying. Then she turned her attention to his arm that had been splashed with toxin.
There was a tiny wound on it, almost invisible, through which the toxin was slowly seeping in...
