Chapter 69: Sand Sea Demon Cave (Please Order First)
The mechanical dog ran rapidly in the desert under the red full moon.

The two or three people at the back formed a small team, looked after each other, and moved forward vigilantly along the path the mechanical dog had run.

The sea of ​​sand is vast, desolate and bleak, with no signs of life to be seen. People walking in it feel as if they have been abandoned by heaven and earth.

"Senior Sister, do you feel sick and nauseous here?" Qi Sui asked in a low voice.

"A little!"

Gu Xiyue nodded, and her entire skin was covered with a layer of cool and bright light, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

"Just a little?"

Qi Sui's eyes revealed a thoughtful look. He was also observing the expressions of others, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly rang out in the silent night, as if an insect was vibrating its wings at a very high frequency.

"Be careful, there's something going on!"

Wu Qiong looked alert and reached towards his waist.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of iron pincers flashing with a cold and dark luster stretched out from the sea of ​​sand under his feet. Its target was clear, pointing directly at the mechanical dog running in the front.

Fortunately, the mechanical dog is also a very cutting-edge technological product of human society. It is equipped with various sensing devices. The moment the iron clamps appeared, it took off into the air.

This resulted in the main body of the pliers being exposed.

"This is!"

Qi Sui held his breath.

A huge scorpion-like creature appeared in front of me, about one meter tall and more than two meters wide.

Unlike normal scorpions, its shell has cold and dark light patterns that seem to flow like water waves, and it has three tails with poisonous stingers raised high.

His eyes glowed green, and there was a sense of bloodshed and brutality engraved in his bones.

"It's an adult male three-tailed scorpion. Its tail can spray poisonous mist. Everyone be careful." Lei Hang, who was wearing glasses, reminded.

This information is intelligence brought back by predecessors who broke into the secret realm and has extremely valuable reference value.

Suddenly, the black scorpion moved, making a shrill hiss and pouncing towards everyone at an extremely fast speed.

"Let me try it!"

Qi Sui rubbed his fists and walked out eager to try.

When he saw this scorpion, the disgust in his heart reached its peak and he wanted to smash it to pieces with one punch.

"boom"!
A huge roar sounded in the sea of ​​sand.

The scorpion stopped charging. There was a glaring hole on its head, and dark green blood kept pouring out.

Wu Qiong turned the gun in a fancy way and put it back into his waist.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

Her expression was normal as she explained calmly, "My father gave it to me for self-defense. We only brought three days of food with us. There's no need to waste time on this beast."

"Let's collect the materials. The venom from the scorpion's tail has some medical and chemical value. Take off the shell and take it away. It can be used for the research and development of advanced materials."

Upon hearing this, everyone divided the work clearly and got busy quickly.

Another girl, Zhang Lingxin, skillfully used a special military knife to cut off the three tails of the scorpion and put them into her backpack. The others were peeling the shells and putting some into their backpacks.

Qi Sui was still immersed in the power of the previous shot.

Guns are the basic representative of modern technological lethal weapons. Even today when martial arts are flourishing, the control over them is very strict.

Qi Sui asked himself with his current strength, if he faced an ordinary person with that gun.

Ten meters away, he turned and ran away.

Within ten meters, it might be possible to kill it instantly by relying on speed.

As for taking a bullet head-on, given his current muscle quality, it's unlikely that he would be penetrated, but a hole would definitely be made.

Three minutes later, everyone continued to move forward.

A scorpion was peeled off, revealing its green flesh, which was gradually submerged by the wind and sand.

……

During the two-hour journey, they encountered a smaller juvenile scorpion. Instead of wasting ammunition, Wang Hongling smashed it into a pile of minced meat with his fists.

"The energy detector shows that the Sand Sea Demon Cave is right below!"

Wu Qiong held a special dial-shaped instrument in her hand that could detect the strength of the surrounding energy. She waved her hand to signal everyone to make way.

Everyone had no objection to this experienced explorer of secret realms.

Qi Sui stood at the outermost edge in silence, just observing and learning Wu Qiong's every move. It was because of her presence that the group was able to get here smoothly without having to run around in the directionless sea of ​​sand.

Wu Qiong took out a retractable special alloy fork from his backpack and stabbed it deeply into the sand under his feet. After turning on the power, the alloy fork vibrated at an extremely fast frequency.

A large area of ​​sand and soil fell, and a dark hole was exposed in front of everyone.

"Get ready to go down. I think everyone has read the relevant information in the watch. Be sure to collect all valuable items, such as those red ores. A fist-sized piece can be exchanged for three contribution points!"

"Okay Captain!"

"I know Captain!"

"Okay, I'll lead the way!"

Wu Qiong took out a high-powered light helmet with a brightness of up to 10,000 lumens from his backpack and put it on his head. The dazzling light shattered the darkness deep in the cave.

She leaped forward and was the first to jump.

The others also put on high-intensity hoods and followed the woman closely.

Compared with the dryness in the sand sea, the air in the cave is so humid that it is a bit depressing.

The deeper you go, the more obvious this feeling of oppression becomes.

The thin air puts a great test on everyone's lung strength.

If an ordinary person broke in here, he would probably fall into a coma due to suffocation within three minutes.

Disgusting dark green liquid can be seen everywhere on the rock walls of the cave. It is extremely viscous and is pulled into long threads and drips into the mud. If it gets on your clothes by accident, it will be damaged by the strong corrosiveness.

"Unlucky! Someone else must have been here before us!"

Wu Qiong noticed the remains of two scorpions in front of him, and his tone sounded a little regretful.

The greatest treasures of the Qingziling Secret Realm are these magic caves hidden dozens of meters below the sea of ​​sand.

The harvest that can be excavated from an undeveloped magic cave may reach hundreds of contribution points.

But if someone gets there first, the profits will be greatly reduced. If you are unlucky, there may not be anything left.

"What should we do? Should we go back and look for the next demon cave?" Wang Hongling asked.

Wu Qiong observed the dial for a while, then thought: "Let's go a little further. The instrument shows that the energy fluctuations here are very high. This situation does not seem to have been fully developed by anyone."

Everyone had no opinion.

Continuing to grope deeper along the muddy road, the magic cave is interconnected, like a huge maze, with several forks in the road every few meters.

In this regard, Wu Qiong would make a choice quickly based on the energy fluctuations on the instrument.

And so the journey was safe and sound.

Before they knew it, they had been groping in the dark cave for more than an hour, but could not see any sign of any living creature.

This is not a good thing for everyone.

"Damn, how unlucky! The place was looted so thoroughly. Could it be that the army had raided it?" Wu Qiong was a little helpless to complain.

Just as she was about to lead the team back along the same route, a crisp sound was heard in the darkness.

click-

"what sound?"

Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, which was where Qi Sui was.

There were several broken bones under the feet of the young man. Not far from the bones were several human heads scattered around. There was no blood or flesh on them, only empty eyes staring at everyone.
