Thousands of sand crickets were getting closer and closer. From the sand and dust, their dry black bodies flew out one after another, squeaking and rushing towards Chu Yunsheng, setting off bursts of hot air.
Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath, stepped on the sand with both of his feet, and gripped the iron stick in his hand. His eyes slightly narrowed, and when he saw clearly the sand Mattresses that were rushing towards him from the air, he spread his arms and abruptly stepped on the sand. His body bounced up like a bow and shot out an arrow. The iron stick drew an arc in the air under his body and fiercely hit the first sand Mattress that was rushing towards him.
"Bang!"
The iron stick and the sand cricket's body collided.
That sand cricket squeaked, and its dry body split into two parts from the middle. The two parts flew over Chu Yunsheng's head and flew to both sides with burning flames.
The road ahead was opened, and Chu Yunsheng continued to rush forward. Chu Yunsheng fiercely crashed into the torrent of sand crickets, forcibly tearing a long fiery path in the middle of them.
There were many sand crickets, and they were very fast. Chu Yunsheng had fought with them on the oasis before, so he knew a little bit about their habits. In order to avoid being surrounded by them from all sides, he used the iron stick to open a path in the middle of the torrent of sand crickets and left them behind.
The enraged sand crickets stopped moving south, flapped their dry and bare wings, turned around, and chased after Chu Yunsheng.
They were used to living in the dark, and their eyesight was very poor. They relied on their hearing to determine the direction of the target, or maybe they also had a sense of smell. Chu Yunsheng was not sure. When there were a lot of them, the noise and smell made it difficult for them to determine the specific location of a single target. So they could only rely on the special squeaking sound of the leading sand crickets to transmit the direction information to the rest of the sand crickets. After the sand crickets at the front turned around and chased after Chu Yunsheng, the huge group of sand crickets split into two from the middle, forming a huge "8", and Chu Yunsheng was running at the top of the "8".
The speed of Yuan Tian stage three was much faster than that of Yuan Tian stage two, so it could make Chu Yunsheng's movements more agile and delicate.
The amount of fire elemental energy he had absorbed and stored in his body was not much. Without the support of absorption talismans, he had to use it carefully. In order to prevent overuse of the fire elemental energy, he had never thrown away the rough iron stick in his hand. This was to help him better control the fire elemental energy.
The material of the iron rod was poor. Once it was used too much, it would not be able to withstand the impact of the fire elemental energy and would be destroyed. Currently, it was a very good restraining tool.
Chu Yunsheng was not in a hurry to kill the Sand Cricket. There were more than a thousand of them behind him. If he acted recklessly, he would only be digging his own grave.
He was more experienced than most people when it came to dealing with large-scale creatures.
If it weren't for the zero-dimensional cardinal fire, he might have to consider how to get rid of the Sha Tao group's pursuit. There were thousands of them, and most of them were above Yuan Tian stage two, which was much stronger than the red-shelled insects.
Chu Yunsheng wanted to fight a war of attrition. Just like the time in the oasis, he relied on the agility and speed of Yuan Tian stage three to lead the Sha Tao group to run in circles in the desert. His fighting style was the same as the shadow man's, without any hesitation. It should be known that with the shadow man's knowledge and intelligence, its strategy to deal with the Sha Tao group must be the best.
Chu Yunsheng had plenty of time now. Except for his stomach being a little hungry, his spirit was at its peak after seven days of cultivation and rest.
After running a few laps, he killed a lot of Sand Cricket. Chu Yunsheng adjusted his breathing and ran while holding the iron stick. From time to time, he suddenly turned around and attacked the Sand Cricket that jumped up. At the same time, he gradually confirmed that there was no strange thing that was close to the cardinal fire elemental energy that he and the shadow man encountered. Otherwise, he would have to retreat. If he continued to fight like that, even the shadow man would not be able to afford it.
Although the movements of his hands were getting faster and faster, and the soles of his feet were getting more and more flexible, the frequency of his counterattacks was getting more and more stable and rhythmic.
His body did not have a lot of fire elemental energy, so he had to balance the speed of absorbing fire elemental energy from the surroundings and the speed of his attacks, or try to have some surplus to maintain his continuous combat effectiveness.
Unlike the earth, the natural energy here was extremely abundant, and the absorption speed was much faster. Although it was not as smooth and fast as absorption talismans, it would not cause the internal energy to be disordered due to excessive use of absorption talismans.
In the past, he had fallen into this dilemma many times. The worst time was when he was crossing the river and blowing up a grave.
Now he had broken through to Yuan Tian stage three. The cell structure in his body was based on the Rong Yuan body two, which was the foundation of the Rong Yuan body two. Finally, he broke through to the fire elemental body. He borrowed the name of the awakened ones, but in fact, his fire elemental energy was much higher than that of awakened human beings in terms of stability and energy level.
For example, Chu Yunsheng could feel that although the sand cricket behind him was not a pure fire elemental creature, after all, it lived in a dry desert, so its fire elemental energy was still very strong. However, every time it fought with his iron rod, it would always lose. The only thing that it won was that it had a large number.
But even if the number was huge, Chu Yunsheng was not stupid when he decided to fight this group of sand crickets. He was very calm, carefully calculating the landing point of each step and the strength of the counterattack, even the direction and arc of the circle, he would take the corresponding action after thinking carefully.
He had another important purpose. He wanted to use this group of sand crickets to familiarize himself with the fire elemental energy combat skills that he had been thinking about in the past seven days.
There were many combat skills, from the awakened ones, from the fire race, and even from Duo Neng race. Chu Yunsheng more or less knew some of them. He could choose one to use, but it was not suitable for him. So in the past seven days, he had been sorting out the fire elemental combat skills that were suitable for his fire elemental body.
Although Chu Yunsheng's knowledge was not as good as the shadow man's, he had also summed up a lot of things. Combat skills, in the final analysis, were a way of using energy. For example, a pile of metal and gunpowder was basically useless. At most, it would be a land mine. But through industrial manufacturing, it could be turned into guns and bullets, and the power would be different. Even different guns had different lethality and uses, not to mention tanks, planes, and missiles.
Making guns needed to use the laws of physics, chemistry, and so on. The same was true for combat skills. They also needed the laws of energy use. For example, offensive talismans were one of them. Chu Yunsheng put together some messy laws that he had summarized. In the past seven days, he had exhausted his intelligence, but he could only come up with two combat skills that were suitable for his fire elemental energy.
When there was no one around, he had tried it. It worked in theory, but he did not know the actual combat effect. The Yuan Qi fluctuations on the battlefield were very large, and there were also many interferences. A good combat skill must be accumulated through actual combat experience.
Whether it worked or not, and how lethal it was, he definitely needed to try it. Even if it didn't work, the experience of failure was also very important!
After the battle calmed down, he calculated the various conditions and the activation process, took another breath, and was ready. Suddenly, he turned around, and his body continued to drift back along the inertia. However, the iron stick suddenly smashed down from the sky.
"Bang!"
It was a very violent impact, but the fire elemental energy was not stimulated. It was still concentrated in the iron stick to maintain the hardness of the iron stick. The Sand Cricket that had jumped up abruptly was smashed down by the iron stick.
But right after that, almost right after that collision, an even larger iron stick, which was burning with a burning flame, smashed down from the sky. It was more than ten meters long and fiercely smashed into the group of Sand Crickets, breaking the front part of one of the legs of the formation. However, only one or two Sand Crickets were killed or injured. Although it looked powerful, it didn't have any real lethality.
Chu Yunsheng frowned slightly. He failed!
However, he quickly adjusted his breathing, immediately turned around, and ran in circles again. The big movement just now had let more Sand Crickets know his position. Once he was surrounded, without offensive talismans, it would be very difficult for him to break out of the encirclement.
He ran all the way, leaving a long trail of dust behind him. While increasing the distance between him and the group of Sand Crickets, he once again slowly released the fire elemental energy. When he reached the second circle, he finally returned to the previous formation.
Using this period of time, he quickly summed up the situation. Once again, he suddenly turned around, raised the iron stick, and smashed it down fiercely.
There was still a delay between the fire stick and the solid one, and the length was only about twenty meters. He failed again!
No, he had to try again!
He continued to run in a circle, racking his brain to summarize the situation, and then turned around again.
He failed again, and he even retreated a few meters!
Chu Yunsheng's perseverance in this aspect was still very strong. The huge difference between the effect of the actual combat and the test when there was no one around did not affect his mental adjustment.
He did not believe that the direction was right. Why couldn't he get out!
Of course, if it did not work, then he should consider retreating. Although there were still some Indian troops in the distance, they did not dare to come up to him, not to mention that they had a grudge against him. He was alone and weak. He did not have a suitable combat technique, and he did not have the Qi of Heaven and Earth in his body to make talismans. Sooner or later, he would be exhausted to death, and he would be caught.
The few meters that he retreated gave Chu Yunsheng a little inspiration. He realized that it might not work to solve the problem in one step. It was better to divide it into several parts. First, he could solve the problem of the delay between the fire stick and the solid one, and then he could solve the problem of the length.
One time, two times, three times …
After more than a hundred repetitive experiments, he finally solved the problem of the delay when he could barely kill the Sand Cricket within the range of ten meters, and when his power was extremely low.
At the same time, he was also a little tired. Especially when he racked his brain while running in circles, it consumed a lot of mental and physical strength. But the problem had not been completely solved, so he had to strike while the iron was hot.
This was not just a question of battle skills, but also a question of his confidence in the future. Right now, he had to rely on himself to cultivate. If he could not even master a single battle skill, then there was no need to talk about anything else. He would definitely have a hard time.
Continue to experiment!
Repeated experiments!
Constantly summarizing, correcting, revising, and coming back to summarize.
Finally, at the moment when the iron stick was about to fall down, there was an indescribable foreboding feeling —
It seemed that he was going to succeed!
Immediately afterward, he knew where this foreboding feeling came from. It was a kind of feeling after sweating a lot, the comfort of racking his brain and finally figuring out the answer, and the sudden enlightenment of breaking through a new level … These were all things that he had never experienced before. Not only did he not have this feeling when no one succeeded in the experiment under ideal conditions, but even when he learned the combat skills of his predecessors, he had never had this feeling before!
From modifying combat skills in the divine realm to creating his own combat skills, only Chu Yunsheng himself knew how difficult and arduous it was. The black gas's dust atomization could not be regarded as a real self-created combat skill. It was just using the characteristics of the black gas.
The huge flaming stick shadow formed a 100-meter-long corridor of raging fire from the sky. Following the stick in Chu Yunsheng's hand, it suddenly smashed down!
There was no loud sound, but there was a huge Yuan Qi vibration. According to Chu Yunsheng's design, the almost solid fire elemental energy was like the fiercest, most tyrannical, and most aggressive thing in the world. It smashed down at the fastest speed, penetrating into the bodies of the sand crickets on the 100-meter-line. More than half of them exploded and died, and the other half was burning and screaming in pain. The formation was instantly disrupted, and the sand crickets were running around in all directions. No one knew whether they were still alive or not.
This attack completely destroyed the first 100 meters of the formation, and the fire elemental energy in Chu Yunsheng's body was also rapidly consumed by more than half.
But at this moment, he suppressed the fatigue of his body and continued to experiment with the second combat skill. Now his brain was very active, and many things might flash by in a flash. He must take this opportunity to master his second combat skill.
This combat skill was a bit more complicated. It was derived from the first combat skill. It used the iron stick itself to turn into countless flaming stick shadows of the same size. Based on the sword ray tracking method of the predecessors, each stick shadow was responsible for attacking a target separately.
Perhaps because it was too complicated, he tried dozens of times in a row, but the power was basically no, and the target chasing was even more messy. Without exception, all of them failed.
However, he also discovered a lot of tricks and knowledge that he didn't know before, and he urgently needed to summarize them in the future.
But now there was no time. The fire elemental energy was almost consumed, and his spirit and physical strength were gradually unable to keep up with the rhythm. There were several times when he almost let the remaining sand crickets close together.
But he couldn't run away, so he could only use the cardinal fire to solve it once and for all!
This was also what he had calculated at the beginning. The cardinal fire had been intense for seven days, which was enough for it to be released once and burn the remaining hundreds of sand crickets.
The blue flame appeared in his hand in the next moment, and he had already stopped and was quickly surrounded by the sand crickets.
The flame was jumping like a devil, as if it couldn't wait to get out of Chu Yunsheng's palm.
This was the repulsive force of impurities. He had resisted it before, so it was a little familiar.
The sand crickets rushed over violently, their dry beak-shaped heads were getting bigger and bigger, and their squeaking noises could be heard …
The heat wave poured out. This time, without the slightest hindrance, it spread to the surroundings without any hindrance.
The heat wave was just a kind of sensory feeling. In fact, after the blue flame broke free from Chu Yunsheng's palm, it disappeared into a high-density energy field. All the objects in the field, including the air, were heated up and burned. Sand crickets were even more affected. Even the stones and sand were spontaneously ignited into sticky charcoal.
From a visual point of view, the sand crickets were ignited by an invisible force, like light bulbs in the energy field, shining and burning. Even when they died, they still maintained the same posture.
After a while, the energy field that had released the impurities would shrink, and it would condense into a blue flame again as if it had never appeared before. Then it would go back into Chu Yunsheng's body, and there would be no difference.
Without the impurities, Chu Yunsheng couldn't control it. Once it got into his body by itself, if he wanted to see it again, he would have to wait until the impurities appeared again.
At this moment, almost in a split second, Chu Yunsheng saw two things. One was a larger group of Sand Cricket that was sweeping the sand over from the horizon, and the other was the scorched essence left behind by the Sand Cricket after it was burned.
He didn't know why the sand crickets always ran south, as if there was something in the north that was driving them away. Chu Yunsheng didn't have time to guess, because the person who could do this must be a cardinal master!
And his biggest danger was also the cardinal's life. When he was in the oasis, he knew that he had been targeted, and it was only a matter of time before he was found. He must take advantage of this period of time to quickly become stronger!
The speed of the sand crickets was very fast, and time was running out. Chu Yunsheng immediately released the fire elemental energy in his body that was once again filled by the flame energy field. With the power of the shrinking energy field, he absorbed the burnt essence left by thousands of sand crickets, gathered them together, and wrapped them in the extremely dense energy field that was about to recover into a flame. Using the cardinal fire, he quickly forged a knife shape.
More than ten seconds later, under Chu Yunsheng's full control, the energy field still shrank irresistibly. But Chu Yunsheng finally pulled out a sharp narrow knife from the almost incandescent high temperature field. The knife body was dark and bright, smooth like a mirror, but it did not reflect light. There was no fire, but it seemed that there was fire everywhere, solemn and pure.
Because the direction of the twitch was the opposite, the shrinking high-density energy field seemed to slide from the end of the knife to the tip of the knife, like a stream of light, forming a jumping blue flame on the tip of the knife, as if the whole knife was plated with a layer of profound dark luster.
The sand crickets on the horizon would arrive in a moment. Chu Yunsheng did not dare to stay any longer. His left hand struck again, burning the remaining impurities in the high-density energy field. According to the shape controlled by the fire elemental energy, he did not have time to refine it, so he roughly formed an ugly and rough scabbard, and inserted the perfect knife body into it. After the blue flame entered the scabbard, he immediately turned around and ran away.
If there were thousands of sand crickets, he could still try to rush over, but if there were tens of thousands, he would not even think about it.
However, with this knife refined by cardinal fire, Chu Yunsheng expected that there should not be too much of a problem for him to retreat.
He had fought this war of attrition for a long time, about a night. When he turned around and returned to the starting point, the Indians had already run away.
At this time, the sky was also a little bright, and it was not long before sunrise.
Chu Yunsheng sheathed the scabbard on his waist, carried the iron rod, and accelerated into the jungle, running south.
On the way, he met a few people who seemed to have fallen out of the group. They were climbing along a path in the jungle. Chu Yunsheng also followed them, but he didn't expect that those people would pass through the jungle without any obstacles. But he seemed to have bumped into something.
It was transparent, invisible, as if it was floating in the air, faintly drifting with the Yuan Qi energy. Ordinary people could pass through it, but he couldn't.
A word suddenly appeared in Chu Yunsheng's mind — dark matter.
He had been cultivating for so long, but it was the first time in his life that he "saw" pure dark matter, and it was such a big piece!
This was a very rare thing, and it had a great effect, especially used to make talismans and forge weapons. The senior practitioner once mentioned that most of the materials for weapons above Yuan Tian stage four were made from various types of pure dark matter …
*****
In an ancient city in the desert, there were many fluttering flags.
Behind a low wall, there were four figures standing.
Buterne clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand, and her eyes were slightly gloomy. She said firmly, "I don't agree. Now the desert giant crickets are out of control, and they are all rushing to the south. It is not a wise move for us to save that Indian city now. This is Deere's personal matter, and it has nothing to do with the entire cavalry legion."
The woman in front of her did not take off her armor, nor did she even take off her mask. She just moved her eyes from Buterne to Ba Yi, who was picking his teeth on the side.
"Don't look at me, I-" Ba Yi didn't know why, but he was a little afraid of this girl. His tone suddenly changed, "I mean, for the sake of saving a few Indians, it is really not necessary. Even if you don't consider that person's original words, you have to consider our own safety, right? I know that Deere is very important to you, but — "
His voice stopped here, because he found that when he said this, the woman's eyes were a little cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The eyes behind the mask did not continue to move to the last black-haired woman. Instead, she stepped forward and came to the place where she could see the fluttering flags, and said lightly, "Pass the order, get ready to send troops. Before dark tonight, we must all arrive at Indian city!"
Buterne gritted her teeth, and there was a faint trace of blood on her sexy lips. She raised her head abruptly, as if she had been waiting for this day, and said coldly, "You have disobeyed the king's order, I will no longer listen to your command, our Oath Clan will —"
At this time, the woman turned her head and looked at her quietly. After a long time, her voice seemed to make Buterne feel a little cold even though she was in the hot desert, "What if he is not the undead king?"
