64. Chapter 64 02 Narrow Death

No one is willing to act as a guide for them through the "Devil's Desert". No matter how much money they offer, they will just shake their heads. Everyone knows how terrible it is. Once you walk in, you will never return and there will be no bones left! Brother Yeluxiu and

Xiao Han was helpless. He couldn't let them use a knife to force others to lead the way. What if the other party had a grudge and deliberately led them astray? It would be terrible!

Since there was no one to lead the way, we had to go on our own. Fortunately, the guides still pointed out how to go even though they refused to lead the way. They told Brother Yeluxiu and Xiao Han that the 'Devil's Desert' was actually not impossible to get out of. Of course, most of it was necessary.

Depending on luck, a person once walked out of the "Devil's Desert", but he also narrowly escaped death in it.

After everything was ready, Brother Yeluxiu walked in front holding Xiaoxue, and Xiao Han walked behind holding the camel carrying the luggage. The three people and the three camels gradually disappeared into the desert, becoming a few small black spots.

The climate in the desert was scorching hot during the day, but as cold as ice at night, with a huge temperature difference between day and night. Brother Yelvxiu and Xiao Han followed the direction pointed by the guide for three days and three nights. During the day, they rode on camels, and at night they rode on the sand dunes.

A tent was set up underneath, and the two men took turns on duty.

Xiaoxue had been in a coma and could not feel the changes in her surroundings at all. Due to her condition, Brother Yeluxiu had to give her Qi every few hours. At first, he could persist, but later, he found that he was unable to do what he wanted. He had to

Let Xiao Han take over his place and deliver Qi to Xiaoxue. Fortunately, Xiao Han and his martial arts come from the same lineage, so it saves a lot of effort for the two of them to take turns delivering Qi.

On normal days, Brother Yelu Xiu would not allow other men to touch Xiaoxue like this, but now that her life is at stake, how can she care so much? Of course, her life is the most important thing, and as for other things, it is not that important at all.

important.

In the blink of an eye, it has been seven days since they entered the desert. According to calculations, they will be able to walk out tomorrow.

But there was an unexpected situation. Just when they were about to reach their destination, disaster struck.'

***

On this day, Brother Yeluxiu was delivering Qi to Xiaoxue, while Xiao Han was guarding him. The camel next to him suddenly struggled and screamed desperately. It was like it was going crazy and could not be held back no matter what. Xiao Han looked at the sky.

, it didn’t look like a sign of an approaching sandstorm. He squinted his eyes and looked around vigilantly.

When he turned his head, his eyes narrowed, and there were a few more scorpions on the sand behind Brother Yeluxiu and Xiaoxue! The scorpions were huge, golden in color, with a black line running through their bodies in the middle!

Xiao Han knew that this was one of the most terrifying creatures in the desert, the 'Desert Scorpion'. It was highly venomous. As long as it was bitten by it, it would cause severe pain all over the body, and then the skin would begin to fester. He had seen it with his own eyes.

This poisonous scorpion was used as a torture tool to punish traitors, and the howls of those people before they died still echo in our ears.

He cast a sidelong glance at Brother Yelvxiu and secretly decided in his heart that he would risk his own life to protect the king. Now was the critical moment for him to deliver Qi to Xiaoxue, and he must not be disturbed by outside forces. Otherwise, not only would the king go crazy, but also

Even Xiaoxue will vomit blood and die due to the counterattack of Zhenqi!

He took out the dagger from his waist. Fortunately, the scorpions only came from one direction. If they had come from all directions, he would probably...

At this time, the scorpions had arrived not far away from them. They seemed to feel the popularity. They raised their two giant claws like pincers in excitement! The crawling speed was even faster. Xiao Han squinted his eyes and saw the scorpions crawling closer to them.

When he was a few feet away, he suddenly took action, a silver light flashed, and the giant scorpion at the front was cut into two pieces from the middle with a dagger. Black blood flowed all over the ground and was quickly absorbed by the sand!

The few at the back were enraged and jumped up one after another and rushed towards him. Xiao Han was agile and drew out the steel knife with his left hand and swept across it. Several more scorpions were chopped off and fell to the ground!

The remaining scorpions changed their attack route, and actually divided half of them to deal with Brother Yeluxiu and Xiaoxue. Xiao Han was shocked. He didn't expect that these scorpions actually knew how to attack in the east. He was too busy to protect Brother Yeluxiu.

.

However, those scorpions knew how to attack in the east and in the west, but they found the wrong target to attack. Before they could crawl to Brother Yelvxiu, a ray of light split them all in half in an instant!

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Han took back the scimitar in his hand.

Brother Yelvxiu nodded, his eyes suddenly focused: "Be careful!" Then the machete swept behind Xiao Han.

However, Xiao Han suddenly felt numbness in his thigh. When he looked down, he saw the lower half of a scorpion falling to the ground, but the upper half of the body was bitten on his left leg. He was bitten by this 'desert poisonous scorpion'

, even if you cut off your hands and feet immediately, it will be useless, you can only wait for death!

"Xiao Han!" Brother Yelvxiu supported Xiao Han and regretted in his heart. Could it be that this brother who grew up together died in this terrible desert? It didn't matter if he died. Anyway, he died for Xiaoxue. He had no complaints.

Regret, but Xiao Han….

"Your Majesty, my subordinates can no longer protect you from now on!" Xiao Han only felt his eyes turning black, and his whole body felt like tearing pain!

"Xiao Han, you won't die, I will definitely save you!" But he couldn't think of any way to save him.

At this moment, a faint voice sounded, but it was like the sound of nature.

"Yelu...Brother Xiu!"

"Xiaoxue! You're awake!" Brother Yelvxiu looked over. Xiaoxue opened his eyes and looked at them, his face still as pale as paper.

"Blood...my...blood for him..." She saw this scene as soon as she opened her eyes, and saw the dead scorpion on the ground. Even a fool would know what happened, not to mention Xiaoxue is so smart.

Most people can guess most of them in a blink of an eye.

The word 'blood?' was like a thunderclap, which woke Brother Yelvxiu up. Yes, her blood can detoxify hundreds of poisons, and maybe it can save Xiao Han. But in her current situation, how can she withstand the loss of blood?

"In my arms...the bottle..." Xiaoxue moved her right hand, but was unable to lift it.

Brother Yelvxiu was such a smart man. He immediately understood what she meant. Did she mean that there was blood in the bottle in his arms? He did not hesitate, and there was no time to hesitate at this time. He reached into her arms and took out a palm-sized bottle.

white jade bottle.

The bottle feels so cool in your hand!

He thought, could this be the legendary "Han Jade Bottle"? It is said that this "Han Jade Bottle" is made of "Xuan Bing" that will not melt for thousands of years. Any liquid placed in it can be kept fresh.

, and can be stored for decades or even hundreds of years!

But it has a drawback, everything can only be saved once.

For example, if blood is used this time, it will not be kept fresh if you put blood in it next time.

When she rescued Brother Yelu Xiu last time, Xiaoxue thought that after all the blood had been drained, she might as well put a little more into this 'cold jade bottle', maybe it would be used.

"Give...him...take it. If you can...save him, we can only do...the human affairs and let fate." After saying these few words, Xiaoxue seemed to have exhausted all her strength and closed her eyes again. After all, so-called

'Anti-Hundred Poisons' is only a poison that people know about, but there are more than a hundred kinds of poisons and poisonous weeds in the world. She is not sure whether her blood can detoxify the poison of this terrifying 'Desert Scorpion'? But she can't just watch it.

Seeing Xiao Han die, I can only take a gamble.

Seeing her eyes closed, Brother Yelu Xiu hurriedly reached under her nose. He didn't relax until he confirmed that she was still alive. He no longer hesitated, uncorked the bottle, and fed the bright red liquid into Xiao Han's mouth: "Quickly

, swallow it, don’t let her down."

Xiao Han was in severe pain all over his body, but he was very conscious. He swallowed the liquid into his throat, and felt the smell of blood filling his mouth. Brother Yelu Xiu stared at Xiao Han unblinkingly. After a few minutes,

His face gradually turned from black to rosy. When he checked the wound, he found that the blood flowing out had also turned red.

He was extremely shocked. Like Xiaoxue, he also had the idea of ​​​​taking a gamble and never thought...

He looked at Xiaoxue with a complicated expression. Such a terrible poison could be cured by her blood. If this secret spread in the world, what kind of disaster would it cause for her? No matter what, he must keep this secret.

***

Two hours later, Xiao Han opened his eyes and found that he was still alive and the wound had been bandaged. He looked at Brother Yelvxiu in confusion, "Your Majesty, how could I...?" How could he still be alive?

The poison of this 'Desert Scorpion' is incurable!

"You have to thank her!" Brother Yeluxiu looked at Xiaoxue who was sleeping in his arms. After saying the words, "After doing your best and obeying fate," she fell asleep again. Until now, he still can't explain that they were in the desert for seven days.

She remained asleep, but woke up when they were in danger and instructed him to feed Xiao Han her blood that could detoxify.

"Miss Yang! She saved me!" Xiao Han was even more puzzled. He knew that she was proficient in medical skills, but no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't undo the poison of this 'Desert Scorpion'? And she wasn't always there

Asleep?

Brother Yelvxiu looked solemn: "I can't tell you the specific situation. Just remember that she saved your life." Her blood can detoxify and she can't let too many people know about it, even if that person is Xiao Han.

"Yes, I know!" Xiao Han lowered his head, knowing that the king must have a reason for saying this, and it was definitely related to this woman's life, otherwise he would not be so solemn. He stood up and wanted to lead the camel, his eyes fell on

As he walked forward, his expression turned extremely frightened, even though he had always looked calm when he saw the 'Desert Scorpion'.

The camels struggled wildly again. This time they broke free from the ropes that tied them and rushed out, too fast to hold them back.

Then, a shrill scream was heard coming back from the front. Within a few seconds, the scream disappeared, and the entire earth became deathly silent.

Brother Yelvxiu stood up and saw the things in front of him with a wry smile on his face. It was true that 'misfortunes never come singly, blessings never come singly', so he eliminated the terrible "Desert Poison Scorpion", and now he encountered another "Desert Poison Scorpion".

Things that stay three feet away, it seems that their fate is destined to be here.

****

Not far from them, there was a large black mass, so dense that it could not be seen to the end.

People with good eyesight can clearly see that they are ants as thick as fingers. Their bodies are pitch black except for their heads, which are fiery red. These are the famous 'desert red ants'. They are huge in number and can be said to be the most beautiful ants in the desert.

Overlord! Wherever they pass by, there will be no grass growing.

!No matter how huge and ferocious the animal is, it will turn into a skeleton within a few seconds under their attack! Just like the three camels that rushed out, they turned into three white bones with no internal organs left.

!No matter how capable the two of them are, I am afraid they are no match for these things.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Brother Yeluxiu hugged Xiaoxue tightly in his arms. Forget it, if it is fate, just let it be!

They stared at the 'desert red ants' that were coming in like a tide! They didn't notice at all that two dark funnel-shaped clouds were appearing behind them, growing bigger and faster.

Just when the two of them closed their eyes and waited to die, they felt a strong wind. When they opened their eyes, they were shocked to see a scene that would be unforgettable in their lives. Two strange-shaped winds blew from both sides of them and merged into one in front of them. That

This huge force blows away everything around it

Although there were many people, including the 'Desert Red Ants', there seemed to be four barriers blocking the sky full of yellow sand. They were not shaken by the strong wind, nor did they feel the sharp pain of the sand blowing on their faces.

Everything is blocked outside the invisible barrier.

Brother Yelvxiu and Xiao Han looked at each other, unable to understand this phenomenon, but one thing they knew was that they were saved!

A few minutes later, the black wind gradually dissipated, and the sunlight shone on the earth again. Those menacing 'desert red ants' were nowhere to be seen, as if they had never appeared! Everything just seemed to be just an illusion.
