The blazing sun hung high in the sky, mercilessly scorching this vast desert. The strong wind carried the yellow sand, rushing and rolling like raging waves, blocking out the sky and the sun, making the entire desert world fall into dim chaos. The scorching sun and windy sand intertwined, seeming to kill all vitality in this land. Only the drought-tolerant cactus stood tenaciously on the edge of the sand sea, witnessing the cruelty and tenacity in this desolation.
“Hiss!!!”
The giant desert scorpion attacks again. It slammed its huge pincers in front of it, making a dull loud noise, and then rushed towards the sword beast and shield beast at an extremely fast speed, raising a high cloud of sand behind it, like a yellow streak. The giant dragon swept over. The strong wind was even more violent under the charge of the giant scorpion, and the yellow sand was rolled into huge whirlpools, filling the sky above the battlefield, making people's vision blurred.
Seeing this, the sword beast flashed and disappeared instantly. With its unparalleled speed advantage, it circled the flank of the giant desert scorpion. At the moment when the giant scorpion waved its pincers to attack, the sword beast jumped up high and clawed hard at the giant scorpion's eyes. However, the giant desert scorpion seemed to have been prepared for it. It quickly blocked its pliers upwards, and the sword beast's claws collided with the pliers, making a metal collision sound with sparks flying. The sword beast used the force to turn over in the air and landed firmly on the sand beside it, raising a cloud of dust.
The shield beast stood calmly on the spot. It thrust the huge shields on its arms into the sand and squatted down, assuming a defensive posture. When the desert giant scorpion rushed in front of it, the shield beast lifted the shield upward with force, and there was a loud "bang" sound. The desert giant scorpion's pincers hit the shield heavily, and the powerful impact made the shield beast's arms Its feet carved two deep ravines in the sand, but it steadily withstood the fierce blow without retreating at all. At this time, the strong wind howled past them, and the sand kept hitting them, making a rustling sound.
The giant desert scorpion missed a hit and suddenly became angry. It opened its huge mouth and let out a deafening roar. Then its tail swung rapidly, and the scorpion sting carried deadly venom towards the shield beast. The shield beast quickly moved its shield horizontally to block the scorpion sting attack. The venom splashed on the shield, making a "sizzling" sound, and instantly corroded small pits, but the shield beast's shield was still as solid as a rock. The strong wind quickly dispersed the pungent smell of venom, but the dangerous smell still permeated the air.
The sword beast took advantage of the gap between the giant desert scorpion to attack the shield beast and launched another attack. It walked around behind the giant scorpion, opened its bloody mouth, and bit hard at the giant scorpion's tail. The giant desert scorpion was in pain and flicked its tail, throwing the sword beast away. The sword beast drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the sand, splashing a cloud of dust. It struggled to stand up, shaking off the sand on its body, but its eyes became more fierce. The sun was even hotter at this time, and it seemed to be adding a tense atmosphere to this fierce battle.
At this time, the shield beast also began to fight back. It pulled the shield out of the sand with force, then raised it high and rushed towards the desert giant scorpion. The moment it approached the giant scorpion, the shield beast slammed its shield against the giant scorpion's body. The giant desert scorpion used its pincers to resist, but the huge impact still made it take a few steps back, and its heavy footsteps made deep pits in the sand.
Seeing this, the sword beast cooperated with the shield beast again. The sword beast took advantage of its speed and kept wandering around the desert giant scorpion, looking for opportunities to attack. It would attack the giant scorpion with its claws and teeth from time to time. Although every attack could not cause fatal damage to the giant scorpion, But it effectively distracted the giant scorpion. The shield beast relied on its strong defense to resist the giant scorpion's attack head-on. At the same time, it looked for the giant scorpion's flaws and dealt it a heavy blow.
As the battle continued, the desert giant scorpion's physical strength gradually depleted and its movements became sluggish. The sword beast and shield beast noticed this, and their attacks became more fierce. The sword beast saw an opportunity, and took advantage of the moment when the desert giant scorpion attacked the shield beast and exposed its abdomen. It rushed over at an extremely fast speed, and its sharp claws penetrated deeply into the giant scorpion's abdomen, and a stream of green blood flowed out. It spurted out in an instant and fell on the hot sand. It was quickly absorbed by the sand, leaving only a dark red blood stain. The giant desert scorpion let out a painful roar and waved its pincers wildly, trying to throw the sword beast away.
Seeing that the sword beast had succeeded, the shield beast immediately increased its attack intensity. It used all its strength to smash the shield towards the head of the giant desert scorpion. There was a loud "bang" sound. The head of the giant desert scorpion was hit hard by the shield. It was suddenly dizzy and its body shook a few times. At this time, the strong wind gradually subsided, and the yellow sand no longer flew as wildly as before, as if the entire desert was waiting for the final outcome of this battle.
The knife beast took the opportunity to attack again. It jumped on the back of the giant desert scorpion, bit the giant scorpion's neck with its sharp teeth, and then shook its head hard, tearing off a huge piece of meat. Come down. The desert giant scorpion's body began to tremble violently, and its vitality was rapidly draining away.
In the end, with the tacit cooperation of the sword beast and the shield beast, the giant desert scorpion collapsed, raising a huge cloud of sand.
“Hoo, hoo~”
Seeing that the giant desert scorpion finally died, the sword beast and the shield beast finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The black scales on the body of the sword beast have long been scarred, with deep ravines carved in many places by the giant desert scorpion's pincers. Some have even fallen off, revealing the tender flesh and blood underneath. Blood slowly seeps out and drips from the wounds. On the hot sand, it was instantly absorbed by the sand, leaving only dark red blood spots. Its limbs were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that this battle had consumed a lot of its physical strength, but its blood-red eyes still shone with fierce and greedy light, staring closely at the corpse of the giant desert scorpion in front of it, as if it was A treasure waiting to be unearthed.
The Shield Beast is not much better. Its thick khaki carapace is covered with large and small dents and scratches. These are all traces left by the attack of the giant desert scorpion. In one of the places hit by the scorpion sting, the venom had begun to corrode the carapace, making a "sizzling" sound and wisps of pungent green smoke. The shield beast's breathing was heavy and rapid, and each breath caused the surrounding sand to undulate slightly, and its huge body was also a little shaky. It was obvious that this battle had exhausted it, but the perseverance in its eyes never wavered. , also staring at the corpse of the giant desert scorpion, his eyes revealing the desire for power.
Suddenly, the sword beast moved. It dragged its injured body and slowly walked towards the corpse of the giant desert scorpion. Every step seemed a little difficult, but it was full of determination. When it approached the giant scorpion's body, it opened its mouth full of fangs, bit one of the giant scorpion's legs, began to tear off a piece of meat, and then swallowed it with difficulty. As the piece of meat entered its belly, the sword beast's body began to undergo wonderful changes. The wounds on its body seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force, and they began to heal slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye. A faint light gradually appeared on the edges of the scales that had fallen off, and they seemed to be growing again. Seeing the actions of the sword beast, the shield beast was not to be outdone. It stretched out its thick arm, inserted the huge shield into the sand, stabilized its somewhat shaky body, and then used its other hand to tear off a large piece of hard shell from the desert giant scorpion, put it into its mouth and chewed it . The shell gradually shattered under the strong bite force of the shield beast, turning into a strange energy flowing into its body. In an instant, the places on the shield beast's body that had been corroded by the venom stopped deteriorating, and the pits and scratches on the carapace began to slowly return to smoothness. The originally dim carapace lines also shone with a mysterious light again, as if they were being re-infused. Life and strength.
As the sword beast and shield beast continued to devour the bodies of the desert giant scorpions, their physical changes became more and more obvious. The originally strong body of the sword beast began to gradually expand, and its muscles became tighter and more developed. Each muscle seemed to contain infinite power, like a volcano about to erupt. The black scales on its body not only fully recovered, but also became harder and smoother, shining with a black metallic luster under the sunlight. There seemed to be strands of black aura flowing in the gaps between the scales, exuding a A mysterious and powerful aura. The sword beast's claws have also become sharper and stronger. The curved arc is like the scythe of death. With a single swing, it can draw deep ravines in the sand. Its tail has become even thicker. The originally flexible steel whip now looks more like a powerful siege ram. The bone spurs on the tail tip have also become sharper, shimmering with cold light, as if they can easily penetrate through any hard object.
The changes in the shield beast are equally astonishing. Its body began to grow taller, and its already huge body now looked even more towering, giving people a strong sense of oppression. The khaki carapace on its body became thicker, and the original lines became clearer and deeper, as if it were an ancient totem telling mysterious power. There is faint golden light flowing in these lines, as if a golden blood is rushing under the carapace, providing a steady stream of energy to the shield beast. The shield beast's arms became thicker and more powerful, and the muscles on its arms bulged high, like huge rocks. The shield in its hand has also changed. The surface of the shield has become smoother like a mirror, which can clearly reflect the surrounding scene. Moreover, the edge of the shield has become sharper, shining with silver light, as if it has changed from a simple defensive weapon. It has become an artifact integrating offense and defense.
When the sword beast and shield beast finally absorbed the power of the giant desert scorpion, they looked up to the sky and howled. The scream of the sword beast was sharp and piercing, as if it could cut through the sky and reach into the clouds, causing the birds in the sky to be frightened and flee the area one after another. The roar of the shield beast was low and powerful, like the roar of the earth, causing the surrounding sand dunes to tremble, as if the entire desert was trembling with their transformation.
"Yes, it is indeed an ancient beast born for fighting. It can grow at the fastest speed during battle."
After the desert, Li Yang's figure appeared, Seeing that they worked together to kill the shield beast and sword beast that were a little higher than themselves, they nodded with satisfaction and spoke with a smile on their lips.
The sword beasts and shield beasts were also very happy, and they flew to Li Yang one after another, gently rubbing his palms to express their joy.
Li Yang touched their heads and looked forward with a smile, his eyes twinkling slightly.
"No wonder a giant desert scorpion from the second level of martial arts is guarding here. Go ahead and have a look."
After Li Yang finished speaking, he immediately took the sword beast, shield beast and shadow beast with him. The wind-winged beast disappeared in place.

On the sand dunes, an ancient and mysterious ruins stand abruptly. The walls of the ruins are covered with strange symbols and patterns. The erosion of time has made these carvings blurry, but you can still faintly feel the mysterious power contained in them. The entrance to the ruins is blocked by a huge stone door. A huge scorpion is carved on the stone door. The scorpion's eyes are inlaid with two bright rubies. They shine with a strange light under the sunlight, as if they are guarding the door. The secret behind.
Li Yang came here and looked at the ruins with great interest. He thought that the scorpion might be the guardian beast here. After thinking about it, he immediately went to explore the way to enter.
After some exploration, it is not difficult to find a way to open this stone door. Stepping inside the ruins, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere hits your face. The interior of the ruins is dark and quiet, with long-extinguished torches hanging on the walls, and some broken pottery and rusty weapons scattered on the ground. It is obvious that no one has been here for a long time. Walking along a long passage, the sand under your feet made a rustling sound, which was particularly clear in this silent environment.
At the end of the passage is a spacious secret room. In the center of the secret room is a stone platform. On the stone platform is a treasure that emits soft blue light - Lingpo. Lingpo is about the size of a fist, oval in shape, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, and a blue flame burning slowly inside, with golden light flashing from time to time in the flame, like a dream. It is placed on an exquisite gold base. The gold base is engraved with exquisite patterns, which contrast with the Lingpa, adding a bit of mystery.
The blue light emitted by Lingpo illuminates the entire secret room. Wherever the blue light reaches, some ancient murals on the walls faintly emerge. These murals depict a civilization that has long since disappeared. The people in the pictures are dressed in gorgeous costumes, holding various strange weapons, and building magnificent cities and spectacular buildings in this desert. They held grand sacrificial ceremonies around Lingpo. It seemed that Lingpo played a vital role in their civilization, serving as a medium for them to communicate with the gods and the source of their power. (End of chapter)
