Chapter 580: Savages
In the wasteland, everything has its order.
Wild beasts are the most critical part of this law.
As long as there is wasteland, there must be wild beasts. This is the law of wasteland.
And as far as he knew, whenever there were wild sunflowers growing in the water in the wasteland, there must be wild beasts in the water.
Because the wild beasts in the water and the wild sunflower growing on the water complement each other and are indispensable.
Without the wild beasts in the water, there would be no wild sunflowers growing on the water.
Similarly, the absence of wild sunflower means that there are no wild beasts in the water.
The wild sunflowers growing luxuriantly on the lake here cover most of the lake, which he had just seen with his own eyes.
This means that there must be wild beasts in the water, and there are a lot of them.
Everyone had been underwater for more than a cup of tea, and with the noise from the previous dive, it was impossible not to notice the wild beast in the water.
But there was no wild beast to attack everyone.
This is obviously counterintuitive.
The Taihuang Sect guarded the wasteland of Youzhou for countless years, and after countless bloody lessons, they summed up an experience.
Whenever something goes against the rules or unreasonable in the wasteland, something will happen.
In the wasteland, as long as you know the rules of the wasteland, the risks are almost controllable.
For example, there are countless eight-legged beasts with eight legs on their backs on the lake, making sounds like ghosts.
The eight-legged crocodile is the most common wild beast in the wasteland. It likes to move during the day and return to its nest at night.
As long as he could stay up until nightfall and wait for the eight-legged rhinoceros to return to his nest, he would naturally be able to leave the wasteland through the original entrance of the cave.
After discovering this underground lake, his original plan was to hide underwater for a day.
After all, there are not as many wild beasts in the water as there are eight-legged beasts. With his strength, it is not a big problem to survive until night.
But the current situation underwater made his plan fail.
In the wasteland, the real danger is often such variables.
Because you simply cannot use your past experience to deal with possible variables.
Reaching for the Stars dared to lead Duan Qing and others into the wasteland alone, and his confidence was due to his familiarity with the conditions in the wasteland.
However, the changes he encountered in the wasteland were completely beyond his expectations.
In this variable situation, if you are not careful, you may lose your life.
During the countless years that the Taihuang Sect guarded the wasteland of Youzhou, countless disciples of the Taihuang Sect died in the changes in the wasteland.
So much so that the Taihuang Sect members almost changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Even if he acts arrogantly and arrogantly, he can do whatever he wants.
But facing the changes in the wasteland, I also feel uneasy from the bottom of my heart.
Noticing that Zhai Xing's expression was abnormal, Duan Qing couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart.
At this moment, Duan Qing felt that the countless wild beasts on the lake seemed to have stopped screaming.
This time, the bottom of the lake became even more silent.
Suddenly, a group of figures appeared in the sight of Duan Qing and others, surrounding them, and swam towards them.
Everyone was surprised when they saw the figures suddenly appearing around them.
Could it be that in addition to everyone, there are other people who accidentally entered this place and were trapped under the lake?
Except, of course, reaching for the stars.
The moment he spotted the figures around him, he recognized that these figures were desolate people!
The source of power of wild beasts is the desolate air that is everywhere in the wasteland.
Generally speaking, monks cannot absorb desolate energy, and they cannot even detect the existence of desolate energy.
But this does not mean that monks will not be invaded by desolate energy.
Once an ordinary person is injured or killed by a wild beast, he will be invaded by the wild energy in the beast's body, transform into a wild man, lose his mind, and become a beast that kills only by instinct.
Depending on the level of cultivation before incarnation as a deserter, the strength of the deserter will also be different.
The Desolate Man has almost all the abilities of the Desolate Beast, and is almost immortal. And because Desolate Man was mostly a monk during his lifetime, the Desolate Man is often more terrifying than the Desolate Beast.
At least it is much more terrifying than the ordinary eight-legged beast.
At this moment, Zhaixing suddenly reacted.
The corpses of the small sects that had been clearly destroyed by the desolate beasts on the surface before had probably turned into the desolate people in front of them.
A cursory glance revealed that there were at least hundreds of deserted people around.
With so many desolate people, especially under the water, everyone has no chance of winning.
In a moment, Zhaixing analyzed the current situation.
At the same time, as the deserted people around him approached, Duan Qing also discovered the eight limbs dangling behind the deserted people.
This scene immediately reminded him of the crazy look that Master Qingchen had gone through after he was injured by a wild beast in the underground space of Xiaonanjie.
This discovery made his hair stand on end and his heart felt cold.
He knew very well that except for using fire spells to kill the people around him who could no longer be called human beings, it was difficult to kill them by other means.
But at this time, everyone was underwater again, and fire spells could hardly be used.
What's even worse is that according to his observation, only he and Xue Wanyun among the people practice fire-based techniques.
And Xue Wanyun is still unconscious at this moment.
He alone would never be able to deal with so many unkillable ghosts underwater!
There are countless beasts squatting on the lake, and there are these ghosts under the water. It’s really raining all night!
escape!
Without any hesitation, Duan Qing immediately took Xue Wanyun and fled to the depths of the lake.
At the same time, he did not forget to send a message to everyone to remind them.
Zuo Muxiu and others were obviously not fools, and immediately followed Duan Qing to dive deep into the lake.
As for reaching for the stars, they had already taken action long before Duan Qing.
His choice was the same as Duan Qing's, which was to dive deeper.
Being surrounded on all sides and surrounded by wild beasts, there was no other choice but to dive down.
However, no matter how deep the lake is, it has an end.
He has already prepared to deal with the barbarians and delay time until dark.
If he is alone, facing so many barbarians, it is naturally difficult to do this.
But the key is that there are Duan Qing and others, which will inevitably attract the attention of most of the barbarians.
He will not face too many barbarians, and with his strength, he should be able to handle it.
With this idea in mind, Zhaixing desperately dived to the bottom of the lake, trying to divert the attention of the barbarians to Duan Qing and others.
The speed of the barbarians underwater is very fast. The eight limbs on the back can shoot forward a long distance when they retract and contract.
The speed of their pure physical stealth is faster than that of everyone else's stealth with sword control.
Zuo Muxiu was injured and was left behind by the crowd with the unconscious Zuo Wanqiu.
The two barbarians closest to him were only a few feet away, and they were still approaching.
Seeing this, Huang Shi, thinking of her lover, immediately sent a message to Zuo Muxiu: "Zuo Lang, you go first!"
After saying that, she turned around without hesitation and attacked the two barbarians who were about to catch up with Zuo Muxiu.
"No, Shi'er, you take Wanqiu and go first, I'll cover you!" Zuo Muxiu stopped Huang Shi and said anxiously.
"It's too late! Zuo Lang, hurry up!" Seeing that the two barbarians had already caught up to Zuo Muxiu less than ten feet behind him, Huang Shi pushed Zuo Muxiu heavily, and with the help of the reverse force, he attacked the two barbarians with a sword.
