Chapter 14 Will You Come Back?
It took a lot of effort to cooperate with the heroine to deal with the desert scorpion.
Having died two or three times, Gu Jinli is no longer able to complain about her current mood.
She said she was speechless and suddenly enlightened, and felt a great sense of powerlessness towards reality.
She just knew it.
No wonder the heroine insisted on taking me with her. She knew it was difficult to enter the secret realm, so she wanted to find a scapegoat and amulet for herself!
Too.
With her physique, she is perfect for being a vanguard.
"Go to hell, you bastard!"
Lying on the sand and uttering these words silently, Gu Jinli was so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger.
A third-level desert scorpion is not that easy to deal with. Even though the heroine has learned to use ghost energy, she is a "new character" after all, and her attack power is relatively low.
She could only rely on attracting the desert scorpion's attention in front so that she could take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
In other words, in order to avoid dying so many times and too miserably, Gu Jinli could only run around as much as possible to avoid the poisonous needles of the desert scorpion.
The feeling of poisoning is not pleasant. Although it is not painful, the brain and limbs feel sore and swollen, which is very uncomfortable.
"Sister, you did a great job~"
Also lying on the sand and catching his breath, Shen Chigui was the first to sit up.
Looking at the devastated desert, he smiled and said, "We have food now."
ah?
"You mean this scorpion?"
Gu Jinli felt her shrunken stomach and looked at the horrible scorpion corpse on the ground. She said with disdain: "It doesn't look delicious at all."
"Sister, you may not know this, but this kind of desert scorpion is very delicious when roasted."
Shen Chigui took out a piece of talisman paper from somewhere and threw it directly at the scorpion on the ground.
The talisman paper fell on the scorpion and soon set off a huge fire. After a while, as the fire gradually dissipated, bursts of meaty fragrance followed.
It smells like it's really good.
Pursing her lips, Gu Jinli’s stomach growled even louder.
"Don't worry, sister."
He took out a dagger and skillfully pried open the scorpion's hard shell, revealing the steaming tender meat inside. Shen Chigui sprinkled some things on it and then called Gu Jinli over.
"It's okay now, come and try it, sister."
"What did you put on it?!"
Gu Jinli, who had not missed the scene just now and had suffered a loss at the hands of the heroine, immediately became alert.
“Just some seasoning.”
Using a dagger to scrape off a piece of meat and stuff it into his mouth, Shen Chigui said casually while eating: "Since it is meat, how can you eat it without seasoning. Sister, come and eat some! We still have a long way to go."
“…”
Too.
Anyway, it has come to this, it doesn't seem like it can get any worse.
Rubbing his belly, Gu Jinli walked over, snatched the dagger from the heroine's hand, and cut off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Hmm.
This taste... unexpectedly fresh and delicious.
The way Gu Jinli looked at Scorpion suddenly changed.
*
In the following days, Gu Jinli, led by the heroine, advanced all the way south.
They encountered several waves of danger on the way, and she was the vanguard to resist them all.
Normally, except for the necessary time for eating and sleeping, they hardly stop.
After a few days, Gu Jinli felt that her feet were covered with blisters.
"Take some rest tonight."
I don't know what she was judging by, but the heroine Shen Chigui glanced at the sky and said, "We've already walked halfway, there's no need to rush. There should be an oasis further ahead, so we can have a good rest tonight."
oasis?
Looking up at the endless sand dunes, Gu Jinli couldn't tell where the oasis was.
Besides, if you are not in a hurry, why are you in such a hurry recently?
“You can only see it after climbing over this sand dune.”
Noticing Gu Jinli's confusion, Shen Chigui explained in a hoarse voice.
She was obviously ill, she was shaking all over and her steps were a little unsteady.
The temperature in the desert changes very quickly, and day and night are like two completely different worlds.
The daytime heat was unbearable, and the night was like an icy cave. Along the way, they were so busy traveling that they didn't eat or sleep well. Even the strongest bodies couldn't stand it, not to mention that Chen Chigui was only nine years old.
"oh."
Nodding silently to show that he understood, Gu Jinli ignored the heroine's weakness and did not even stop, but walked even faster.
To be honest, she was indeed surprised for a moment that the heroine would fall ill. After all, in her writing, the heroine was synonymous with monster, incredibly powerful.
Now that he suddenly fell ill, Gu Jinli couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune.
Because of her special physique, she has been taken advantage of by the other party many times recently, and she has been full of resentment for a long time.
It’s okay now, Shen Chigui is sick! The nine-year-old child is sick! And I got sick in this desert area where there is nothing!
Wow.
This is really cause for celebration and hope it will be widely popularized.
As the saying goes, no one can escape from heaven’s mercy. Gu Jinli wished that Chen Chigui would die of illness.
It would be better to suffer for a while before dying. She would help collect the body and then throw it out to feed the monsters, or grind it into ashes.
"elder sister."
Walking beside her with weak feet, Chen Chigui said coldly: "You look very happy! What are you thinking about?"
“…”
Oops, I was a little too excited and got noticed.
After regaining his expressionless face in a second, Gu Jinli touched the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "I'm not thinking about anything. I just want to have a good sleep tonight."
She paused here, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Are you okay?"
"I?"
Facing the person's sparkling eyes, Shen Chigui saw the expectation in her eyes and sneered: "Don't worry, sister, you won't die."
"oh."
So that's a bit disappointing.
After nodding, Gu Jinli's eyes dimmed instantly.
Chen Chigui: “…”
This person is surprisingly understandable.

After climbing over a sand dune, I saw a large dark shadow at a glance.
At this time, the sky had darkened, and the entire desert was illuminated by the moonlight, glowing white, and looked extremely holy from afar.
"That's it?"
Pointing in the direction of the shadow, Gu Jinli quickly ran towards that direction.
I can finally have a good rest tonight. I'll make a fire and warm myself up for a while.
The temperature has dropped now, estimated to be around 10 degrees Celsius, and will drop sharply to zero or even below zero after midnight.
Even though she had a special physique, she had frozen to death before!
Therefore, when resting at night, they would light a fire to keep warm.
However, the wind and sand in the desert were too strong and the fire was easily blown out, so we often had to get up in the middle of the night to light a new fire.
It's hard to get a good night's sleep.
But it’s different when you come to the oasis. At least there is a place to shelter from the wind, and the fire will definitely burn all night!
As she was thinking about it, Gu Jinli felt her feet go weak.
Then, the sand centered on her suddenly began to sink.
"!!!"
What's going on? !
In the blink of an eye, both feet were swallowed by the sand. Feeling the heavy suction under his feet, Gu Jinli hurriedly pulled it out, but found that he couldn't pull it out at all.
Not only was she unable to pull it out, but as she moved she sank deeper and deeper, and the sand pit was swallowing her faster and faster.
This swamp-like sand pit made Gu Jinli dare not move.
"Shen Chigui, help me!"
She could only place her hopes on the heroine behind, and she knew that Shen Chigui would definitely see it.
"elder sister."
He saw her falling in from a distance, and Shen Chigui walked closer to take a look.
From where Gu Jinli was, the sand that was spreading out in circles was still flowing in.
This is obviously a quicksand pit, a place similar to a swamp. Once you get stuck, you will be swallowed up completely and it will be difficult to climb out.
"This pit is so big, I can't get through it."
After looking around and seeing nothing he could find to rescue him, Chen Chigui turned his gaze to the oasis not far away: "This is a quicksand pit. Try not to move. Lie flat on your back while I go to the oasis and find a long branch to rescue you."
"good."
When I heard it was quicksand, I felt despair in my heart.
Gu Jinli forced herself to calm down and asked, "Will you come back?"
To be honest, even though they had been together for so long, she wasn't sure the heroine would come to save her.
This is a pit of quicksand, and if you are not careful you will be swallowed up along with her.
Even if you find a long branch, it may not be able to save you.
From the heroine's selfish perspective, she can completely ignore herself.
She can't die anyway.
"Hey Shen Chigui, you will come back...right?"
The tail end of her voice began to tremble unconsciously. Although Gu Jinli did not show it on her face, she had actually been panicking for a long time.
She admitted that she was scared.
She was really scared.
"Don't leave me."
She said: "I don't want to stay buried in the sand..."
Gu Jinli will not die.
But if this is the case, it would be better to just die.
She really couldn't imagine the feeling of being reborn repeatedly in the sand.
She is scared.
"Sister will be honest only at this time."
The pace of his feet paused slightly, Shen Chigui pulled the corner of his lips, and said softly: "Don't worry, sister! There is still a long way to go, and there are many places that need you."
The words paused here, and Gu Jinli heard the next sentence which was extremely annoying.
"You're very useful, and I don't want to lose you so soon." said the man.
Gu Jinli: “…”
