Infinite Bloodcore

Section 56: Optimism and Hope

Zhen Jin glanced around and immediately understood that everyone's hearts were agitated, and the young knight knew exactly what they were thinking.

As a leader, you can ignore your own injuries and take care of the entire team first.

Zhen Jin knew that in such a desperate situation, watching himself slide step by step towards the end of death, but he had nothing to do, most people would collapse, go crazy or even go crazy.

Therefore, he chuckled and said with relief: "Everyone, you should be happy that this golden gun scorpion group treats us as a group of beasts. The scorpion leader and I will start a duel between kings. Unless the winner is determined Negative, otherwise the scorpion swarm will not launch a full-scale attack."

"Indeed, the fact that we are still alive today is all thanks to you, Master Zhenjin!"

"But that's true..."

"Sooner or later we will also..."

The exploration team members agreed but hesitated at the same time.

Zhen Jin added: "As long as we are still alive, there are many hopes. For example, we can meet other people, get support, and be saved. Another example is that there will be another sandstorm, disrupting everything, and another example is that the teleportation is activated again, and we can directly Get out of here."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Is Master Zhenjin too optimistic?

Then everyone spoke.

"Lord Zhenjin, we have experienced two teleportations and calculated the time, which is about half a month. We just teleported here a few days ago, and now it is basically impossible to be teleported again."

"If such a terrifying wind and sand blows again, we will all be in danger."

"Now we are trapped in the desert. We have no idea how big the desert is or where its specific location is. Who can come to rescue us? The possibility is too small."

Everyone spoke in twos and threes, looking very depressed.

Zhen Jin kept smiling: "But it's still possible, isn't it? When you were trapped in the sand dunes, did you ever think that you would be saved by me? After I joined you, did you ever think that the scorpions would be rescued by me? Come help us?"

Everyone looked at each other again and fell silent for a moment, having to admit that Zhen Jin's words made sense.

"So, never give up hope at any time." Zhen Jin sighed and said sincerely, "As long as we keep hope at all times and don't give up on ourselves, then there will still be hope and possibility of living before death really comes!"

"My lord, you are right."

"As long as adults are here, we have hope!"

Everyone's eyes brightened slightly, and their morale was boosted by the needle gold.

But Zhenjin immediately changed the topic: "However, just hoping for external help and change is not the behavior of a brave person. What is more reliable is that we save ourselves."

Zhen Jin glanced around, his eyes paused slightly on Zidi, and finally stopped on Cang Xu: "Old scholar, I wonder what you have in mind?"

The medicine on Zidi is almost exhausted, and the strongest medicine powder can release thick green acid mist. But I've tried it many times before, and the acid mist is useless against the scorpions.

The desert is very barren, and Zidi's eyes lack materials and cannot prepare new medicines.

Therefore, Zhenjin is looking forward to Cangxu's performance.

Cang Xu noticed Zhen Jin's expectant gaze, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Lord Zhen Jin, I don't have any way to change the situation. In fact, I have always been very confused. Why are these scorpions chasing you? Are they here? The biggest threat to life here is probably those green-skinned lizards. However, they let go of the defeated lizards and are still chasing you. According to what you told me, goldstone is the food of these scorpions. They don't eat it. Meat. But the scorpions always list us as their first target, which is very unreasonable."

Someone muttered: "What kind of common sense is there in a ghost place like this?"

"Perhaps Master Zhenjin caused huge damage to this scorpion group when he provoked them, which made these scorpions extremely hate you, so they kept chasing and never gave up."

Zhen Jin shook his head: "I did kill a few scorpions, but they are definitely not as good as the casualties caused by the green-skinned lizards to the scorpions. As for the silver war scorpion, I fought with it. The injury on my arm is just It caused it, and my blade just left a white mark on its head."

"It seems that we have to kill a gun scorpion, dissect its body, and see their body structure clearly before we can understand the secrets hidden in it." Cang Xu said his suggestion.

He has a point of view - the structure of living things determines the habits of living things to a large extent.

Zhenjin recognized this point of view. In fact, he had benefited a lot from this aspect during his past explorations and survival experiences.

It's just that the scorpions are right in front of you, so it's very risky to kill them and dissect them.

Now it's king versus king. The scorpions don't attack, but watch every battle between the leader and Zhenjin. If the exploration team rashly attacks one of the scorpions and dissects it, how will the group of scorpions react?

It is very likely that a group attack will be launched, and the exploration team with only a few people left will be easily destroyed by the scorpion swarm.

It would be too risky to rashly attack and kill ordinary spear scorpions.

Needle Gold's team needs a good time.

The sun sets slowly.

It is no longer impossible to see directly, hanging in the western sky, like a round piece of iron that has been red-hot after being baked.

The daylight dimmed, and the barren desert turned a yellowish color.

Zhen Jin and others were walking in the desert.

Everyone looked haggard, with chapped lips, swollen eye circles, hungry stomachs, and weak legs and feet.

Food and water have been provided to a minimum.

The scorpions hung far behind them.

Along the way, they searched frantically for something to eat together. But the little insect and the little lizard had long been frightened away by the scorpions. Even after encountering a few plants, the exploration team members had no choice but to give up after Cang Xu reminded them.

These few sporadic plants grow alone in the desert. Their branches and leaves are thin and thin, and their root systems are well developed, reaching deep into the ground.

These plants cannot be eaten, and some of them contain toxins. Once they are stung and bleed, they will be poisoned.

Cang Xu identified these plants, which prevented everyone from digging rashly, saving everyone's physical strength.

When night fell, Zhenjin and others saw huge stones.

This is the gold and stone group.

The exploration team members were not surprised.

The road was led by Zhenjin, and this place was the natural camp where Zhenjin once lived at night, and it was also their first destination for this escape.

With gold and stone heating, Zhenjin and others can survive the bitterly cold desert night.

They could even place dry food on the stone and heat it before eating it.

In other places, without gold and stone, they would have to light a fire for heating.

Building a fire requires materials, and there is too little wood in the desert. If they wanted to light a fire, they would probably have to burn their own clothing as fuel.

Here, they no longer have the trouble of having to make a fire and save a lot of survival resources.

Food and water are the most important survival resources. Clothing can protect you from the cold and avoid sunburn, and it is also an important survival resource.

The night wind blew gently on my face.

The moonlight shines on the desert.

Standing on a piece of almost the largest golden stone, Zhen Jin withdrew his distant gaze.

Although the scorpion group also entered the gold and stone group, like Zhenjin and the others, they shrunk their team and settled in a corner to rest peacefully without any intention of invading.

Zhenjin breathed a sigh of relief.

This situation is more favorable to him.

Ordinary people's vision is greatly limited at night, and needle gold without the assistance of fighting spirit is no exception now.

Compared to humans, wild beasts, especially predators, have excellent night vision capabilities.

As for how far these gun scorpions can see at night, Zhen Jin doesn't know.

Just in case, a vigil is never missing.

After jumping off the golden stone, Zhen Jin found Cang Xu kneeling on the ground, squinting his eyes and staring at the map in his hand.

Although there is no fire, the moon is high tonight and the light is good.

From time to time, Cang Xu was still drawing some lines on the sand with his fingers.

Sensing that Zhen Jin was coming to his side, Cang Xu raised his head and continued to draw lines on the sand.

"Sir, I'm trying to figure out our location, the size of this desert, and the direction of the oasis." Cang Xu explained without raising his head.

Zhenjin nodded: "Is there any progress?"

"Alas, my lord, you must understand that this work is difficult." The old scholar sighed deeply, "We lack enough information. We don't know how big this island is, how big this desert is, Where is it on the island? We were teleported to the desert before, and we were indeed lucky enough to find an oasis. But the desert lacks landmarks, and there is no way to judge how far the road we have traveled so far is from the oasis."

"If the sun and moon are not artificial, what we observe is real, and the route does not change, then our direction can at least be determined."

"If the owner of the island does not interfere too much, then the island should still have a natural topography. Most islands have high terrain in the center and low terrain on the edges. Therefore, if you find a river and follow it, you can theoretically Come to the seaside. But now we are in the desert..."

At the end of the sentence, the old scholar sighed again: "I'm sorry, sir, I can't bring you more help. The current situation is quite bad, I think we need luck, enough good luck!"

"Yes." Zhenjin sighed.

The young man looked sad and described the current situation: "We have very little food, which can only last for two days at most, and it is the minimum supply."

"What's more troublesome is the scorpion swarm. It's difficult for us to get rid of them."

"I have to remind you, my lord." Cangxu added, "The crisis brought to us by the scorpions is not just death itself. They always follow us, which is a cunning and insidious hunting technique. Just like the red sand The red-haired porcupines in the Gobi will shoot stinging arrows when facing large prey, chasing the prey, causing the prey to continuously lose blood, weaken and eventually lose resistance during the violent exercise."

"Perhaps this is the tactic used by the Scorpions."

"Even if the scorpion swarm does not attack in an all-out way, without enough food supplements, we will become weaker and weaker."

“It’s not just our bodies that are weak, it’s also our hearts.”

"When we are chased by scorpions for a long time, we will be under increasing pressure and become more and more vulnerable. When ordinary people survive in extreme environments, what they need most is to maintain hope and peace of mind."

"I know many records. The seemingly harmless mirages in the desert are actually very dangerous. Once the survivors trapped in the desert do not discover the truth about the mirage and experience the huge gap between hope and disappointment, it is very easy to collapse and give up on themselves. The principles that I abide by in daily life even give up my own life.”
