Chapter 502: Strange Scorpions
When I opened my eyes , the first thing I saw was a fiery red light outside the window.
It is the sun that has just risen above the horizon.
"Fuck, the sun is so hot right after it rises?"
Jingtian quickly controlled the chariot's sunshade and turned on the air conditioner in the car.
Although it and Adu are not afraid of the heat, they would rather be more comfortable. Who would want to suffer?
At this time, the outside world was already a sea of yellow sand, and everything around was golden. After refracting the light, it seemed as if one was in a golden ocean with fiery red light.
He glanced at the time and calculated from the car speed that he had already entered the desert for more than a thousand kilometers. According to the area of the desert on Jingtian's previous map, he was already close to the center of the Taha Desert.
The Taha Desert is not the largest desert on Earth. Its total area is 500,000 square kilometers, and its longest diameter is only more than 3,000 kilometers.
So Jingtian inferred that they had reached the central area.
"I can only help you deal with the enemies here. You have to figure out the rest on your own." A-Du said.
Jingtian nodded. He really didn't rely on A-Du to find spirit stones.
Despite the increasingly hot temperature, the tank traveled forward for nearly a hundred kilometers, but still gained nothing.
Not to mention the shadow of the spirit stone, there was not even a sign of life except the yellow sand.
At this time, the outside temperature can definitely reach over 60 degrees.
Normal life forms would definitely not be able to survive for long here, after all, the air they breathe is like it’s on fire.
It was only a little after eight in the morning. What if it was noon?
"Intelligence, where the hell can you find the spirit stone? Can't you sense the location of the spirit stone?"
Jingtian felt that there was no point in doing this and he could only summon intelligence.
"You haven't even reached the central area, why are you shouting? I can only sense the aura of the spirit stone within a hundred kilometers." Zhineng responded to Jingtian impatiently.
"Isn't it the central area? That's impossible?" Jingtian frowned.
"Your knowledge is from before the end of the world. I have checked and the diameter of this desert has now reached more than 5,000 kilometers, so you still have at least nearly 2,000 kilometers to go." Intelligence said.
"Oh shit, is that possible? The desert is expanding so rapidly... No, how did you find out?" Jingtian was shocked at first, then became suspicious.
"Then don't worry about it. Anyway, as for the surface of the earth, I can find out anything I want to know. Just go on your way honestly. The journey won't be peaceful." Zhineng said and stopped talking.
Jingtian called twice again, but Zhineng did not respond.
"... Let's keep going, time is running out."
Jingtian had no other choice but to continue on his way according to the smart instructions.
It takes the tanks a whole day to run nearly two thousand kilometers in the undulating sand dunes.
Time is indeed running out, and it has been the fourteenth day since the tasks were issued.
It would take eight days to return to the Divine Turtle Island without any delay. If the spiritual stones here can be obtained smoothly, there would still be some time left.
But can I get that damn spirit stone smoothly?
"How can there be any unrest in a place like this? It would be better if there was some, so it wouldn't be too boring!" Jingtian muttered a little bored after traveling for half a day.
Wisdom says there will be unrest, but it does not mean there will be no peace.
So there should just be some accidents, but nothing dangerous.
Jingtian really hoped that something would appear at this time to help him pass this boring journey.
At the same time, I am also curious about what species can survive in such an environment?
It was getting closer to noon and the temperature outside was getting higher and higher. Fortunately, the tank was special and there was no hindrance to its driving.
When it was noon, Jingtian Adu felt a little drowsy.
And just at this moment, something abnormal finally appeared ahead.
"Is it quicksand?"
Jingtian looked at a huge sand dune in front of him, rolling forward as a whole.
"No, it's a scorpion... a scorpion the same color as sand!" A-Du said excitedly.
Finally something that moves!
The chariot moved forward more than a hundred meters, and the large group of scorpions entered the chariot's control area.
They were indeed scorpions, a large group with a diameter of nearly a thousand meters, and the number was incalculable!
These scorpions are not the common black or blue, but the same color as the sand.
Each scorpion is the size of a palm, with two pincer-like claws on both sides of its head. It crawls rapidly on all fours, with a long tail trailing behind it, and a little red at the tip.
There is no doubt that this is a group of mutated scorpions.
After Jingtian observed for a while, a bigger doubt arose.
He suspected that he was mistaken. These scorpions were clearly moving, but he did not sense any sign of life from them!
In other words, these scorpions are actually dead!
But... they don't have the aura of zombies!
"This is so weird, what is this thing?" Jingtian was puzzled.
No matter how confused Jingtian was, these scorpions were getting closer and closer to the chariot.
Jingtian thought about it for a moment and drove the chariot forward.
No matter what it is, these things can't cause any damage to the tank!
Without even any need for control, the chariot simply rushed through the swarm of scorpions.
When the chariot crushed the scorpion group, although the scorpions attacked the chariot frantically, they could not leave even a trace.
The shells of these scorpions were surprisingly tough. Not a single one of them was crushed when run over by the chariots. Only occasionally some of their pincers or claws were broken.
Jingtian rushed through the group of scorpions and wanted to catch a few to study, but he quickly gave up the idea.
Because Adu reminded Jingtian to look forward.
Less than a kilometer ahead, a second group of scorpions appeared!
This batch of scorpions is obviously much larger than the first batch, each one is the size of a football!
After being surprised, Jingtian drove the chariot forward.
Although it still managed to rush over successfully this time, the chariot was obviously struggling while driving, because the scorpions kept attacking the wheels with their pincers!
This time, Jingtian rushed over and used his control to grab a scorpion and put it into the chariot.
Just like the previous batch, they still have no breath of life and are also zombies.
A-Du also discovered this problem and began to study it curiously along with Jingtian.
As a result, the two studied it for a long time but couldn't figure out anything.
The only thing that is certain is that this scorpion has no vitality, but it has soul fluctuations. The soul power is very weak, but it does exist.
"There's something wrong with this thing's soul fluctuations!"
Just about five kilometers after the chariot left the scorpion group, Jingtian suddenly felt an unusual soul fluctuation coming from the scorpion.
If Jing Tian's soul power had not increased before, he might not have been able to detect such a subtle change.
Just as I was surprised, the scorpion's body suddenly trembled slightly, and then it became completely unresponsive.
Dead?
Jingtian was extremely surprised. Although there was no breath of life before, it could still move after all. Having soul energy was also a kind of "alive". Now the soul energy suddenly dissipated.
"Jingye, stop researching. We seem to be in trouble!"
Just when Jingtian was puzzled by the explanation, A-Du suddenly brought Jingtian back to his senses with a hint of worry.
This made Adu a little worried, and Jingtian's heart tightened as he looked forward along Adu's line of sight.
