Chapter 1029 Wanting to Give Up
Chapter 1029: Wanting to give up. Suddenly they all turned into mortal bodies. Thirsty, hungry and tired, even though it was very cold, everyone still fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, Old Man Yu's scream woke everyone up.
The sky was filled with stars, and the sand reflected the light, making it so clear that even human faces could be seen in the desert at night.
At this moment, everyone saw Old Man Yu frantically patting something.
Thinking of the small creatures in the desert, Xiao Han hurriedly asked, "Are they sand scorpions or snakes?"
Old Yu couldn't see it clearly either. Thinking it was a small insect, he hesitated and said, "It should be a sand scorpion."
Although the venom of many sand scorpions may not be much weaker than that of venomous snakes, scorpions are generally less frightening than snakes.
She then asked, "Does it hurt where you were bitten?"
Old Yu's hand was actually burning with pain. But as a great cultivator who had practiced for many years, he could bear this pain and simply said nonchalantly, "What's a little pain?"
Xiao Han knew then that it must still hurt a lot.
However, there is neither clean water to rinse the wound nor a sharp knife to drain the poisonous blood.
Well then, we can only let old man Yu suffer.
Xiao Han could only remind everyone to be careful of scorpions and venomous snakes.
These great cultivators felt quite uneasy, as if they were tigers fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.
No one got a good night's rest.
As dawn broke and the temperature gradually rose, everyone looked much more haggard when they set off again.
Since Ba Dou had already scouted the way ahead, everyone decided to change direction and continue their journey.
As the team leader, Xin Ziqi knew that everyone was without water and food and wouldn't last long.
So he walked over to Xiao Han and said to Ba Dou, "Ba Dou, right? You should be able to understand what I'm saying, right?"
Ba Dou nodded obediently.
Xin Ziqi said, "Go explore in this direction again today, fly a little further. As long as you help us find a water source, I will give you some treasures that demon beasts need to advance in level after we return to the God Realm, to help you improve your cultivation."
Ba Dou was overjoyed, flapping its wings and nodding repeatedly, making cheerful cawing noises.
Since its owner would send it out to scout anyway, and now it gets a reward, of course it's happy.
Xiao Han also laughed and said, "It tried even harder this time."
After the croton flew away, the group continued onward. Those cultivators who were extremely thirsty chewed on cactus to temporarily relieve their thirst.
Although these people are used to being high and mighty and have forgotten what it felt like to be weak, it is undeniable that their mental fortitude is strong enough to reach the level of God Emperor.
Even though they were walking with difficulty and looked dejected, no one complained.
As a genius cultivator, Ling Xiao didn't actually suffer much. He was probably the one who suffered the most in the group.
However, he was concerned about his image and felt that it would be beneath him, as a God Emperor, to complain about his hardships in front of Xiao Han, a True God. Therefore, he silently gritted his teeth and endured everything along the way.
After all, cultivators in the God Realm only experience cultivation bottlenecks, not even tribulations.
They say all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome. What can you do but feel envy, jealousy, and resentment?
Seeing the small insects running quickly on the sand in the early morning, Xiao Han suddenly thought of Old Man Yu, who had been bitten by a sand scorpion the night before, so she walked over to him.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, how is the place where you were bitten by the scorpion? Does it still hurt?"
Old Yu raised the back of his right hand, and Xiao Han was immediately startled when she saw it.
The back of my hand is so swollen it's shiny.
They couldn't open their storage rings, so they couldn't find any pills to take. There was hardly any green vegetation to be seen in the desert, so they couldn't find any herbs either.
Xiao Han sighed inwardly and could only comfort herself, "Once we find an oasis in the desert, I'll find some herbs to clear heat and detoxify."
Old Yu felt a warm current flow through his heart.
He was not only a master of array formations but also a great cultivator, and had encountered countless people who fawned over him in the past.
But today, when everyone is just an ordinary mortal, and everyone is thirsty, hungry, and tired, Xiao Han is thinking about his injuries, is willing to care about him, and tries to alleviate his pain. How could he not be moved?
Good words are warm in the winter, and bad words hurt the cold in June.
In his difficult circumstances, a sincere word of concern was enough to make Old Man Yu experience the wonderful feeling of being cared for once again.
Some people saw Old Man Yu's injuries, but no one said anything.
For these great cultivators, this injury was nothing to be alarmed about, but they forgot that times had changed.
Ling Xiao, who was walking beside Xiao Han, naturally saw all of this as well.
However, what he was thinking now was that, according to the past pattern, after Xiao Han was borrowed by him, she should have encountered this kind of bad luck, so why did it seem like she was not affected at all?
On second thought, Xiao Han could have lived a carefree life in the God Realm, but now she has come here to suffer. Isn't this another form of bad luck?
Thinking about it this way, Ling Xiao felt it made perfect sense.
At the same time, a sense of guilt rose in his heart, and he grasped Xiao Han's wrist and said, "I'll pull you along, so you can relax."
Xiao Han laughed and said, "It's not time to be unable to walk yet, so save your energy and walk faster."
She looked at Ling Xiao and realized he wasn't even as energetic as she was.
The temperature began to rise again, and people had to take off their coats and put them over their heads to cover themselves, just like yesterday.
Having gone a day and a night without food or water, only occasionally nibbling on a few pieces of cactus, the thirst and hunger caused the group of great cultivators to stagger and feel dizzy.
Xiao Han thought to herself that the only advantage of this situation was that these great cultivators would not have to go to the toilet for the time being, thus avoiding this embarrassing situation.
At this moment, the only one who could think of this problem was Xiao Han, a cultivator who had not long returned from the mortal realm.
After walking for more than an hour, Ba Dou finally returned.
Upon seeing the crowd, it immediately exclaimed happily, "Year, year, long life!"
Everyone perked up immediately, smiles spreading across their faces. Then, following the direction indicated by Ba Dou, they quickened their pace.
Xiao Han said with a mixture of joy and disdain, "Ba Dou, you need to practice speaking properly after we get water. You can't even finish a sentence now."
Croton landed on her arm, feeling quite aggrieved. Its only redeeming quality was its silver tongue, but after entering this grotesque space, it couldn't even speak properly and could only fret helplessly.
Xiao Han was just urging Ba Dou to practice speaking more. Now, feeling sorry for it flying so far, she quickly took a piece of cactus and let Ba Dou peck at it.
Ba Dou wasn't picky about food today; she ate a whole half-piece of cactus.
I was so thirsty.
As noon approached, the temperature rose higher and higher. Everyone was hot and thirsty, and they couldn't find a place to escape the sun.
Ling Xiao suddenly stopped and shouted to Xin Ziqi, who was leading the group, "Fellow Daoist Xin, I don't want to do this mission anymore. I want to leave."
Everyone was stunned and stopped to look at him.
Ling Xiao swayed, his face full of frustration.
"I can't take it anymore. I don't want to suffer like this anymore. I'm giving up on this mission."
He was the youngest among the group, and because of his extraordinary talent, he was also favored by the big shots in the Divine Palace. He cultivated smoothly all the way to the God Emperor and had never suffered such hardship before.
Being pampered, he didn't feel ashamed at all about giving up missions or being unwilling to endure hardship.
