The road is right under your feet

Bai Xing sighed helplessly, "It's just a first-level pill. Now it's most important for you to recover your strength. Once we get out alive, it won't be too late for you to be polite."

Muriel hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Seeing that the man finally stopped being stubborn, Bai Xing happily drew back his sword, but the girls in front of him couldn't hold on for long.

However, just as he took a few steps forward, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling behind him.

He was startled and looked back. The girl was staring at him with wide eyes in disbelief. Seeing that she turned back, she retracted her gaze, swallowed the pill viciously, and stood up as if nothing had happened.

Bai Xing couldn't help but smile awkwardly, but he couldn't laugh. He ran away like the wind and mixed in with the scorpion group.

His guess was right. The girl comprehended the attribute of light, and the most sacred attribute of holy light.

Wow, this is incredible. Only people with pure hearts and the utmost goodness can possess such attributes.

Is he really worthy of being a genius cultivated by a big family? He is indeed extraordinary. However, people with pure hearts cannot survive in this world where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

I hope her family will not let her down.

It's a pity for those ferocious beasts, which were shot to ashes without leaving any trace. I don't know whether their destruction into ashes will be counted in their contribution value.

Fortunately, these scorpion groups are all first- and second-level spiritual beasts, so it is not too difficult for them to deal with them.

It's hot and dry here, perfect for practicing fire control techniques.

Fire Control Technique, a spiritual skill of the highest grade, is an elementary fire control technique. It is divided into three stages: perception, fire control, and transformation.

Now he has reached the second stage - fire control.

But his perception of the fire element is still very slight, far from reaching the entry level.

The perception of attributes is also divided into several stages: initial glimpse, entry, subtlety, concreteness, freedom, unity, domain, and law.

According to his understanding, his lightning element has reached the subtle realm and is only one step away from the concrete realm, while the water element remains at the entry level.

However, his fire element has only reached the initial stage, and whether he can go further is still unknown.

Getting started is a hurdle. If you can overcome it, you will succeed. If you can’t, you will fail.

It requires more exposure, more practice, and more understanding.

In this hot desert, he felt the power of the fire element—scorching, violent, and destructive. These were its synonyms.

Under the shining of holy light just now, his perception of the element of fire seemed to become more acute, as if he had been enlightened.

He flew up on his sword, overlooking the beasts below, and waved his arms on the tip of the sword.

It seemed as if every palm strike contained a terrifying heat, and that fire seemed to be spewing out of the palm wind.

The loosening and relaxing, the pushing and sucking caused heat waves to seep into the ground.

The heat waves continued to gather under Bai Xing's gestures, and finally formed a manic heat current that swept through the herd.

At the moment when the herd paused for a moment, Bai Xing suddenly jumped down and embedded himself in the center of the herd.

The moment he landed, an invisible air wave swept in all directions, as if reflecting the heat wave gushing out from the ground.

The air suddenly began to boil and the temperature gradually rose.

Then, Bai Xing pushed the Fire Control Technique to its limit. Under his catalysis, the temperature of the surface gradually broke through the critical value, as if there was really a flame burning this world, and sparks fell on the beasts.

Even the girls on the periphery were not immune to the rolling heat wave. They only felt a scorching air current blowing across their bodies, their body temperature rose instantly, and they sweated profusely.

It feels like being in a steaming steamer.

They were in a state of panic, and excessive perspiration had caused their bodies to be extremely dehydrated and weak. Under the double effect of the scorching sun, they seemed to be about to faint in the next second.

They looked at each other, and as if they had agreed, they retreated nearly a hundred miles in a panic. They took out their water bags and drank frantically.

Soon, they all let out sighs of contentment.

The next second, they saw the herd of animals in front of them suddenly caught fire, and the fire spread rapidly at lightning speed.

The herd of animals was instantly engulfed in the sea of fire.

Without warning.

No, there was a sign just now.

If they were not extremely thirsty and dehydrated, they would not have hidden in this quiet place to replenish water and dispel the heat.

Muriel's eyes flickered slightly. She never expected that this seemingly inconspicuous young man had such strength.

The sisters around her also started discussing it with stars in their eyes.

"Who is this young man?"

"I don't know, he looks really ordinary."

“He’s awesome!”

"Yes, he is very powerful. I wonder who is more powerful, him or His Highness Wendel?" A young girl said with starry eyes.

Then, she felt pain and cried out, "Ah~"

She was about to accuse her sister when she heard her sister say, "You are just imagining things. He is not as good as His Highness." Then she changed the subject and said with a silly smile, "His Highness is the best of his generation in the empire. He has already broken through the Spirit Gathering Realm."

"Yes, Barbara. His Highness is not even eighteen years old, but he is already a strong man in the Spiritual Gathering Realm. As for him? He is still far from that."

Barbara nodded and said, "I know."

Shirahoshi was oblivious to the conversation on the other side, his eyes were focused deep underground.

There, a huge monster was awakening, and waves of pressure and screams came from deep underground, causing him to freeze for a moment.

Fortunately, the golden sand scorpion on the ground was only charred, and there was nothing left that could threaten his personal safety.

But... at this moment, the big guy was approaching rapidly, and he could feel the fluctuations of its breath.

Just as it was about to break out of the ground, Bai Xing stepped on the flying sword and soared into the air, just avoiding the first round of attacks from the big guy.

Bai Xing took a closer look and found that it was still a golden sand scorpion, but this one was obviously more than twice as large as the previous one, and its breath fluctuations were also more intense.

Bai Xing looked at the giant scorpion below with a slightly solemn look. Its two huge pincers kept opening and closing towards Bai Xing, as if it wanted to cut him in half.

Suddenly, he grinned, revealing his big white teeth, and made a face at the big scorpion below that wanted to cut him into pieces.

The big scorpion seemed to receive White Star's ridicule, flames jumped in its dark and cold pupils, and it let out a sharp whistle at White Star in mid-air.

Under the shock wave of the sound pattern, Bai Xing almost fell off the flying sword.

Before he could steady himself, the giant scorpion suddenly leaped up, opening its huge pincers to cover him.

"What should we do? Should we help?" A young girl a hundred miles away saw this thrilling scene and asked a little nervously.

Another girl said calmly, "We can't help him. This golden sand scorpion has reached the third level of strength. Besides, the distance is too far. We simply can't make it in time."

Muriel's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she said softly, "I believe he will be able to turn danger into safety this time."

The other girls looked at her with slight surprise, opened their mouths, but swallowed their words back.
