287. Desert oasis and mandible ants

"Crash!!"

Super Bad Star took Jiang Xiao to break through the water.

Jiang Xiao looked around cautiously. You must be careful in the secret realm. Who knows if there is anyone somewhere you can't see?In ambush.

At this time, Jiang Xiao was in a lake, surrounded by lush forests, with a scorching sun above his head scorching the earth.

"Superbad, go to the lake!"

Jiang Xiao patted the super bad star's body.

"Hee Duo~~"

Following Jiang Xiao's instructions, Super Bad Star swung a few tentacles, stirred up the water flow, and swam towards the lake.

After landing on the shore, Jiang Xiao realized how high the temperature was here, at least over 40 degrees.

After just standing on the shore for a while, Jiang Xiao already felt a little thirsty.

Jiang Xiao took the Super Bad Star back, and Die Xiaodie reappeared above him.

"Grr?!"

Die Xiaodie looked around curiously, sensing the surrounding situation with super powers.

"Die Xiaodie, have you discovered anything?"

Jiang Xiao asked curiously, then took off his diving suit and swam towards the forest.

He needed to find something to quench his thirst.

There is a lot of water in the lake, but it is a saltwater lake. If this thing is not treated, fresh water will evaporate, but it is not drinkable.

"Gulu~~"

Die Xiaodie shook her head. She didn't sense anything nearby, but she couldn't rule out that some elves had escaped her super perception.

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this and picked some red and tender fruits from a bush.

[Red fruit: pale fruit growing on saltwater bushes, rich in water]

Each red fruit is only about the size of a thumb, but biting into it is like biting into a blister, and each one is like a balloon wrapped in water.

"What a magical life form!"

Jiang Xiao lamented the magic of nature. Even this kind of fruit, which is only water except for the skin, can be produced and praised the magic of nature.

After eating a dozen pills to quench his thirst, Jiang Xiao was ready to explore this mysterious secret realm.

Jiang Xiao continued to move deeper into the forest.

But something unexpected happened, Jiang Xiao walked out of the forest.

Looking at the sky full of yellow sand in the forest and the endless Hebi Desert, Jiang Xiao felt a little dizzy.

"This...is this an oasis?"

At this moment, Jiang Xiao didn't know the current situation. He was now in a desert oasis.

"What a fucking world, from the bottom of the sea to a desert oasis..."

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Just when Jiang Xiao was complaining,

Gao Yunting and the others, who had entered the secret realm before Jiang Xiao, were now in danger.

More than ten kilometers away from the desert oasis, seven people, including Gao Yunting, Gao Yunxue, Ju'er, and Zhou Cheng, were walking in the desert.

The place where Gao Yunting and the others entered the secret realm was also the oasis where Jiang Xiao entered.

At that time, He Long and Qingxue were also in the oasis. After the seven-person round, they learned that there was nothing in the oasis and went deep into the desert to explore.

At first, they didn't find much, and several girls were already impatient and wanted to go out.

It's too hot in the desert. How can they, the beautiful girls responsible for their beauty, endure it?

"Brother Yunting, there is nothing in this bullshit desert, let's go back!"

Ju'er shouted with some dissatisfaction, and the others also looked a little unhappy. They thought there would be something good in the secret realm, but who could find that it turned out to be a barren desert.

Even Qingxue, who likes to take risks, became depressed at this time, with chapped lips, dust and sand all over her body, and a gray face.

Gao Yunting pursed his lips and looked at the others' expressions, not wanting to continue.

"Okay, then let's..."

Gao Yunting was about to say that he would go back the same way, but he was a little reluctant and found nothing.

"Whoops!!"

At this moment, the fire-breathing dragon next to He Long suddenly changed his expression and slapped his claws on the ground.

While others were wondering, the next moment, the sand under their feet suddenly began to flow.

Then, orange shadows suddenly rushed out from under the sand.

"boom!!"

The fire-breathing dragon punched the ground, and the dragon-type energy vibrated, knocking away those things that were attacking, revealing their silhouettes.

It is an elf with a round head that is disproportionately large to its body, a huge jaw, an orange carapace, and four short legs.

That's right, it's the Ground-type Antlion, known as the Antlion Pokémon!

Megagnath ants live in dry deserts and will stay in garlic bowl-shaped nests, quietly waiting for their prey to fall in.

Once the prey falls into the trap of the mandible ants, it can never escape.

At night, they dive back into the sand to sleep. According to scientists, giant-gnathed ants can survive even if they don't eat for a week.

The large jaws of the mandible ants can easily crush rocks. Even the armor of the armored rhinoceros cannot stop the bite of the mandible ants.

"!!!"

Gao Yunting and the others were immediately frightened, and the attack of the mandible ants made their scalps numb.

It turns out that this desert is not without elves, but that they are all hidden.

They walked openly, and they fell into the eyes of many predators.

After receiving the sneak attack roar of the mandible ants, several elves quickly ran to their master's side.

We haven't encountered any elves yet, and even they have relaxed a little. If it weren't for He Long's fire-breathing dragon, some of them might have died.

The powerful jaws of the ants can kill the person who is bitten with just one bite.

After a sneak attack failed, the mandible ants burrowed into the sand one after another.

Gao Yunting shouted loudly: "Everyone, please pay attention to your steps to prevent the mandible ants from sneaking up again!"

Even if Gao Yunting didn't say anything, Gao Yunxue and the others didn't dare to relax at this moment.

Especially Ju'er, her beauty was even more pale, because the main target of the Big Jaw Ant just now was her who was on the edge of the team.

Several people waited in place for a while, but the mandible ants did not attack them again, and seemed to have run away.

At Gao Yunting's suggestion, several people teamed up to leave the feeding area of ​​the giant-jawed ants.

But for the prey that entered the hunting ground, how could the mandible ants watch them leave and then attack them.

Every time the mandible ants come out and attack once, they immediately burrow under the sand.

Gao Yunting and others were exhausted for a while, and the elf's physical strength was quickly consumed.

The desert is the home ground of the giant-jawed ants, and they have a home field advantage. Coupled with the seemingly endless number of giant-jawed ants, Gao Yunting's situation has become more and more dangerous.

"Brother Yunting, we can't continue like this, we will be dragged to death by the mandible ants."

He Long said with serious eyes.

Beside him, his Charizard was panting heavily, and you could see the exhaustion on its face.

Not only Charizard is like this, Gao Yunxue's Wind Fairy, Ju'er's Monarch Snake, Gao Yunting's strange power, Qingxue's Moon Stone, Song Yi's Iron Ant, and Zhou Cheng's Yanyan Werewolf are all exhausted.

"He Long, what do you think we should do?"

Because of the urgency in his heart, Gao Yunting also had some impatience on his face, so his tone was a little harsh.

"Elves will have their own territory, let the flying elves take us away."

He Long looked at the sky.

Zhou Cheng sneered, "Brother Long, if we had flying elves, we would have flown across this desert long ago. Are we still using them here?"

"You don't have it, I have it..."
