513 Cultivation in the Desert
513
The environment in the desert is very extreme. When the sun rises high in the sky during the day, the high temperature makes it unbearable for cultivators.
When night falls, the temperature in the sand curtain will drop to a very low level. When
cultivators walk in the desert, they look around and see that it is open and bare, with no shelter at all. That is to say, there is no place to find shelter from the sun or to spend the night.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo both have swords in their hands. They hunted and killed many sand beasts and sandworms in the desert in the morning. Now it is almost noon. The sand under their feet is hot and the sand beasts have long burrowed into the ground and refused to come out again.
The high temperature forced the sweat out of the cultivators in the Soul-Opening Realm, but as soon as the sweat seeped out, it was melted by the high temperature.
Feng Ming looked up at the scorching desert and shouted, "Oh my God, this place is not a place for humans to stay. I could see other cultivators before, but now there is no one here. Where did they go? Did they burrow under the sand like the sand beasts?"
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "Yes, dig a hole under the sand and stay in it. You can avoid the hottest period of the temperature and come out the following night. The temperature will be much more suitable. But you must be careful not to dig into a sand beast or sandworm nest, otherwise it will be troublesome."
"Should we dig? Or continue to endure it?"
After Feng Ming came in, he did as Bai Qiaomo said and used the special energy here to temper his body. Needless to say, these violent energies cannot be used to cultivate Yuanli, but they are good for tempering the body.
Now that the sun is close to the top of the head, the energy is a little more concentrated, so Feng Ming is in a dilemma. Should he hide for a while or continue to practice?
Bai Qiaomo said, "Just endure it. Endure it for a day and a night. Tomorrow morning, you will feel the benefits."
Feng Ming twitched his mouth and said, "This is similar to forging a weapon. First, high temperature is used to quench the impurities and shape them, and then extremely low temperature is used to quench and solidify them. Our body is also hammering itself like a tool embryo."
Bai Qiaomo nodded and smiled, "Yes, the principle is similar."
What can Feng Ming say? If it is good for practice and improving strength, then of course he has to endure it.
Isn't it just about roasting himself? As long as he doesn't roast himself to death, it is his victory.
However, Bai Qiaomo still found a place to prop up a sun umbrella. This sun umbrella was bought in Fengsha Town. The umbrella surface material was taken from sand beasts, which had a certain effect of resisting the scorching sun. There
was also a stone table and two stone benches under the sun umbrella. When they couldn't bear it anymore, the two of them crawled under the umbrella, took out the teapot in the storage ring, poured two cups of spiritual tea, and replenished the lost water.
But you have to drink it quickly, otherwise the tea just poured out will evaporate instantly.
This kind of environment is very popular with Jinzi and Huohuo. When entering the desert, Jinzi, one of the three children, woke up almost immediately. She absorbed the phoenix flame very smoothly. Xiaojing and the sea dragon king were still sleeping.
At noon, when the temperature was at its highest, Jinzi took Huohuo away from Fengming and Bai Qiaomo and ran out to have fun.
Fengming didn't have to worry about their safety. First, there were very few cultivators who stayed outside to practice like them at this time.
Second, Jinzi was already strong, and with Huohuo's help, he could fight even if he met a cultivator in the early stage of the Fusion Realm. If he couldn't win, he could still run away.
Fengming could also use the Star Flame Fire to help him devour the firepower around him, but he still had to temper his body first, so the Star Flame Fire lay quietly in his body.
But if you look closely, you can find that there is still a trace of heat passing through Fengming's body, which is absorbed by the Star Flame Fire.
After the hottest period, when the sun gradually set, Feng Ming found that he could also run around like Jin Zi after the test of high temperature.
He and Bai Qiaomo dug a scorpion nest and robbed a whole nest of scorpions.
Although the tail of this thing is poisonous and there is little meat on the body, the meat is snow-white. It tastes great after being roasted even without seasoning. The whole nest of scorpions went into the stomachs of the two.
When the sun set and the temperature dropped a little bit, Jin Zi came back with Huo Huo. Neither of them liked such low temperatures, so they decided to wait until they understood before going out to have fun.
After choosing a camping site for the night, Bai Qiaomo set up a formation at the camping site.
Feng Ming knew why without Bai Qiaomo telling him. Didn't he see that before the sun set, the sand beasts and sandworms hidden under the sand began to run out and move around.
Bai Qiaomo completely sealed off the space they were in, ensuring that the sand beasts and sandworms could not run into their resting place from the ground or the sky.
However, this did not prevent the two from running out to hunt sand beasts and sandworms.
As the temperature got lower and lower at night, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo had a pile of sand beast and sandworm corpses around them. After dealing with them, the two built a fire and roasted them. Jinzi squatted on the side reluctantly and waited for the barbecue.
Feng Ming said jokingly, "Will we wake up tomorrow morning and find that our place is completely covered by sandworms and there is no light at all?"
Thinking about such a scene, it seems quite creepy.
Bai Qiaomo handed the roasted meat to Feng Ming: "It is possible." Feng
Ming laughed and said, "But it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid, in fact, it is to bring us breakfast."
Bai Qiaomo laughed.
Feng Ming: "By the way, how many days do we have to walk like this to reach the alien space?"
Bai Qiaomo: "At our normal speed, if there is no delay on the way, we will arrive in three days."
Fortunately, it will be over in just three days, Feng Ming ate the roasted meat heartlessly.
The temperature at night is getting lower and lower, and cultivators can't help shivering in such a temperature.
Before, there were densely packed sand beasts and sandworms outside, with constant sounds of biting and fighting, and they would also hit the formation shield here.
But after the temperature dropped to a certain level, these sand beasts and sandworms began to disappear again.
Yes, the sand beasts and sandworms could not withstand the continuously decreasing temperature, so they returned to the ground again.
The cultivators moving in the desert would do the same. When the temperature was high during the day, they would usually dig a hole underground to spend the lowest temperature at night, and then come out to move around near dawn.
Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo still insisted on using the energy around them to temper their bodies. Extreme low temperature and extreme high temperature give people different feelings.
The physical bodies of these two are inherently stronger than those of other cultivators. It can be said that their physical strength is not much worse than that of other cultivators in the early stage of the fusion realm.
So when other cultivators could not bear the low temperature and had to go underground to avoid it, the two of them could still insist on staying outside and even practice in such low temperatures.
The fire next to them seemed even weaker due to the low temperature, like a candle in the wind, which would be blown out in the next moment, but it still stood stubbornly.
In such a night, there were still people outside.
"Brother, look, there is a fire over there. There are people still staying outside on such a night?"
"Maybe they are the same as us. Aren't we walking outside as well?"
"How can they be the same as us? Not only are we wearing the warmest fire-attributed fur clothes, we are also wearing fire-attributed spiritual objects. We can completely withstand the extremely low temperature outside. We can travel a longer distance at night when there are no sand beasts and sandworms to disturb us, and then go underground to rest when the temperature is highest during the day."
"Do you think we are the only smart ones and others can't think of it?"
The group quarreled as they got closer to the fire. They could clearly see two people sitting cross-legged and practicing beside the fire. They didn't see any defensive measures at all. The group was stunned.
"Brother, Brother Lue, what are these two doing? They are not frozen, are they?"
Brother Lue shook his head: "No, they are just practicing."
"Practicing in such an environment? Isn't the energy here not usable for practice?"
Brother Lue said: "It can't be used to practice energy, but it doesn't mean it can't be used to practice the body. They are tempering the body. Let's continue walking. There is no need to disturb them. Maybe we will meet again later."
The brothers and sisters around him wanted to wake the two of them up to see what was going on.
But they also knew that it was very rude to disturb others when they were practicing.
Senior Brother Lu took the lead and turned in another direction. The other junior brothers and sisters had to follow. Senior Brother Lu was very smart among them.
But he still turned his head from time to time to look back at the two people. However, he could not see their appearance clearly. As fellow cultivators, they could guess the reason. This was the effect of the formation.
They did not see that when they turned around and left this side, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo both opened their eyes and looked at their backs, especially Senior Brother Lu who was leading the way.
Feng Ming talked to Bai Qiaomo: "I didn't expect to meet Senior Brother Lue, the genius disciple of Tianxin Sect, so soon. It seems that Tianxin Sect is indeed rich and powerful, and these disciples are all equipped with good things."
Bai Qiaomo nodded: "The one leading the group is indeed Lue Yiheng, and his cultivation is also at the peak of the Kaihun Realm. I think he came in this time to find a breakthrough opportunity to enter the alien space."
Feng Ming raised his eyebrows: "Then our purpose is the same, so we won't run into each other again. Lue Yiheng looks okay, but his junior brothers and sisters are quite arrogant."
If Lue Yiheng hadn't spoken, his junior brothers and sisters might have really come to disturb them to see what kind of situation they were in and how they could practice in such an extremely low temperature.
Even if they disturbed them, so what? They are disciples of Tianxin Sect. In this land, or even in the entire Youming Continent, who dares not to give Tianxin Sect some face?
Bai Qiaomo: "Don't worry about them, we will practice our own way."
The two closed their eyes again, concentrating on practicing, leaving this group of people behind.
If they really run into trouble, others will be willing to give Tianxin Sect some face, but they will not be willing to do so.
They have even offended the Dark Alliance and the five major sects, so are they afraid of offending another major force?
They come out to make trouble, and they are not afraid of anything.
When the rustling sound outside sounded again, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo's practice also came to an end. Feng Ming stood up and jumped a few times to check his practice results.
"Brother Bai, the effect is really good. I feel that my physical strength has improved a little bit."
Don't underestimate this "little" improvement. The result of one day and one night of practice is equivalent to the result of several months of practice.
And their bodies are very resilient, which means they can withstand their torment and will not leave any hidden injuries like others.
