"Why are you hitting me?" Mu Chen hissed and covered his head.
"Do you only have kisses in your mind?" Yun Chuan rolled his eyes and generously gave Mu Chen the slap that originally belonged to Ying.
"...It's okay. I'm going to throw these cores into the cracks. They're noisy here and it's giving me a headache." Mu Chen took out a small bag from his clothes.
There are more than ten heart cores rolling inside.
"Okay." Yunchuan stood up and patted the dust on his clothes.
It is a wise choice to throw the heart core into the crack. If you carry the heart core with you for too long, it will inevitably disturb your own mind.
Mu Chen's situation is different. He can hear the noise coming from the heart core, and it is easier to discover the secret of how the heart core affects people.
But correspondingly, the impact of the heart core on him is also greater.
"Which one are you going to?" Yunchuan clicked on the small bag.
"Hmm...the one in the desert." Mu Chen placed his palms completely on the ground, and soon dense black lines appeared on the ground.
"I explored three or four cracks nearby, and the boss guarding the desert crack seems to be injured."
"Yes." Yun Chuan nodded, but if he remembered correctly, Blade Xing and Yun Qing should also have gone in that direction.
"Good luck."
"...Don't say this, your expression is a bit like you are mourning me, you know?" Mu Chen looked at his boyfriend's expression and a chill suddenly rose up his spine.
"Nothing."
"Let's go." Mu Chen stood up with a look of suspicion on his face.
"What is this?" Yun Chuan's sharp eyes spotted an emerald green tail at his feet.
"Oh, the snake that gave me poison." Mu Chen picked up the snake's tail with his toes. "This snake is very weird. I found that it can poison the shadow. It took a bite of my shadow and I was poisoned." ”
"Oh~" They are the shadow snakes raised by Miss Snake Girl, and they treat each one as a treasure.
"I collected the venom from this snake, maybe it will be of great use." Mu Chen threw out a small ball made of compressed black mist, and you could vaguely see the green mucus flowing inside.
……

Desert——
The southern connection between the desert and the rainforest is not far but extremely dangerous.
Not to mention the scorching heat and sandstorms that make people blind, the various arthropods lurking in the sand alone can make players drink a pot.
A heat wave rolled over, and the black mist suddenly pulled into a long and thin rope and twisted around the scorpion's huge tail needle.
"Shasha..." The scorpion raised its tail high, and the sound of the friction of its bristles was deafening.
Boom…
As soon as fist-sized venom droplets seeped out of the tail needle, they were cut in half by the blade transformed into black mist.
Swish, brush, brush…
The black mist condensed into thin threads and penetrated the scorpion, nailing it to the quicksand.
"Shasha..." Scorpion opened and closed the pliers in vain, but couldn't move.
"This is a move I have used before." Yun Chuan saw that Scorpion was no longer able to turn back and then walked slowly into the battlefield.
"Put what you have learned into practice." Mu Chen clapped his hands, put his foot on Scorpion's back and pulled hard.
"Can this scorpion be eaten? I'm hungry." He asked Yunchuan while pulling the fallen scorpion leg.
"?" Yun Chuan looked at the scorpion's legs that were still twitching and quickly took two steps back.
"When I was in the army, I carried out missions." Mu Chen put Scorpion Legs on his shoulders. "I often stayed in deserted places. After I finished eating the dry food, I would get whatever was available on the spot. I would eat whatever was available. When I was hungry and anxious, I would get sick directly. Eat, the insect’s legs are still moving around in your mouth.”
"..." Seeing Mu Chen approaching him with the scorpion legs that were leaking juice, Yun Chuan took two firm steps back.
"If you eat this, you will never kiss me again."
"Okay." Mu Chen seemed a little regretful, but he still threw the scorpion leg aside obediently.
"Just kidding, I didn't really want to eat it." The man wiped his hands and moved closer to Yunchuan. "It's clean now. Actually, I'm still quite curious..."
"The dungeon of your boss is all bloody and bloody, and the food is unpalatable. Last time in the dungeon of Nightingale, I saw that Thisil was not very happy eating."
"Well, there are some... no, most bosses probably have some quirks. One of the most popular drinks this year is a liquor made by wrapping the player's bones in bananas and fermenting them. So these things are just commonplace. .”
Kumokawa recalled the eyeballs and severed limbs in the soup.
"Only a few of our S-level and a few A-level bosses are watched by Father God every day. The other bosses grow freely, and some like to paint walls against players."
"..."
"Thank you for not growing too crooked." Mu Chen held his shoulders.
"Maybe it's because Father God still has some habits as a human being. You know, I was raised by Father God." Yun Chuan raised his eyebrows.
Too crooked... I just haven't shown my boss side in front of me. We are all bosses who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, and no one is much better than the other.
The thin lips of the black-haired young man were slightly hooked, joking, he would not tell the truth.
——
A few hours later…
"It's almost here." Standing on the endless yellow sand, Mu Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Zila…
The sweat rolled to the ground and turned into a white smoke that dissipated in the air before leaving any traces on the dry sand.
This is enough to show the drought and heat of the desert.
The black mist rolled into the sand and extended downward.
‘What is this…’ The spread of mist was suddenly blocked, and Mu Chen discovered a foreign object. Brush it...
Half of the player's body covered with scars was dug out of the yellow sand.
"Hey..." Looking at the pale but wide-eyed dead player, Yunchuan silently avoided patting the gravel on his clothes.
"My condolences." Mu Chen closed the eyes of the unlucky player after a brief shock.
"It seems... Hey! Be careful!" Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he saw a scarlet rope suddenly emerge from the sand and tie Yunchuan's ankles.
Before he finished speaking, the black-haired young man was dragged into the yellow sand.
"..."
"Hey, hey, damn player, you'll be unlucky if you meet me." Unlike the heat of the desert, the boss's hoarse tone, like scraping a blackboard, made people feel chilled all over.
"Salad." Yun Chuan felt the sand constantly passing by him. As the distance from the ground grew farther, the sand gradually turned from hot to cool.
If it were an ordinary player, such a tug would definitely tear open the skin and flesh, and it would probably turn into a skeleton before the end.
"Oh? You know my name...Have you passed my copy before?" The boss's voice suddenly added a hint of doubt.
Plop, the speed of falling suddenly accelerated, and soon Yunchuan fell from the sand into an underground river, and the sound of water waves filled his ears instantly.
"But that's not important. No matter who you are, become my nourishment. I will enjoy you seriously." The malicious voice gradually became louder, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the dark river.
"Sara, Alexa didn't give you the most advanced glasses to use as decoration." Yunchuan criticized him mercilessly.
"Without your vision, has your hearing also deteriorated?"
Those scarlet eyes that were gradually enlarging suddenly stopped, and they blinked together...
"Fuck me, boss?"
"...Salad, don't say it dirty, it's very uncivilized." Golden filaments filled the river in an instant, and the soft golden light dispelled the darkness.
Yun Chuan floated in the rapid river, a pair of golden eyes staring at the monster in front of him.
"Boss, why are you here? I just said that the voice sounds so familiar." Shala bent a tentacle and scratched her hard skin. Her thirty-six eyes blinked again and again, and there was a strange hint of cuteness in them. .
"I think you should know better than me why I am here." Yunchuan turned over with the power of the water flow, and the salad red tentacles were still tied to his ankles.
"Fuck, boss. How could I tie you up? I obviously wanted to tie up that player." Sara twisted her tentacles in panic.
"Your accuracy is simply terrible." Yun Chuan rolled his eyes at him.
"I'm sorry, boss." Sarah whimpered and shrank her huge body into a ball.
"Boss...then...oh!" Shala suddenly changed her tone.
Under the soft golden light, a black mist penetrated Shala's skin.
Zizzi…
Even in the water, you can still hear the sound of skin being eroded.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Damn player... Shala is going to kill you!" The boss, who had been aggrieved just now, suddenly became animalistic.
——
Surface——
Boom…
Mu Chen flipped backwards neatly. He was half-kneeling on a hard and hot rock, and the black mist condensed into a dagger spinning around him.
Just now, Yunchuan was abducted by a monster right under his nose, and Mu Chen's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.
Although he quickly realized that no monster would deliberately hurt his lover, Mu Chen still felt a little angry.
So he launched the attack without hesitation, and finally penetrated the monster's flesh several hundred meters away.
GuluGulu…
The yellow sand began to bubble like boiling water, and more than twenty red tentacles as thick as wrists rushed out of the sand dripping with disgusting and sticky mucus.
Come on... Mu Chen swung his dagger and instantly cut off a tentacle.
"Shala wants to kill you..." Shala fiercely stretched out new tentacles to chase the fast-moving man.
"Be serious, Shala. He is more powerful than you think." Although Yunchuan didn't know what was happening on the ground, he could tell by observing Shala's expression that this boss with poor eyesight and hearing was in immense pain. with anger.
"Don't underestimate the enemy, Shala. Anger will only make your already not smart brain duller." At the critical moment, Yunchuan actually had the intention to tease Shala.
"Shala will not underestimate the enemy!" The huge boss stretched out a tentacle and wrapped it around Yun Chuan's waist, and rushed upwards.
……
"Hiss..."
After cutting off the twenty-one tentacles of the monster, it finally revealed its true form.
Mu Chen used his fog shield to sweep away the yellow sand and looked at the huge creature in front of him.
Shark…
Specifically, it's a giant shark head, but there's only one shark head.
Because below the gills, all that is left of the fish body is a thick fish bone and countless densely packed red tentacles wrapped around the fish bone.
"Boom..." Sala opened his mouth to reveal a circle of sharp teeth, and his roar directly shattered all the rocks within a mile radius.
"Human, you've angered me." The pupils of the thirty-six scarlet eyes shrank to the size of needle tips, staring unblinkingly at the tiny black-haired man in front of them.
"I will hang your body at the highest point in the desert, so that all humans can see the consequences of angering me." Sala roared.
