The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han didn't have time to answer Badou. The thing behind him was no less terrifying than a monster in the Jindan realm.

At this moment, the desert was filled with howling winds and flying sand, and the scorching sun was nowhere to be seen.

Although the surrounding scenery can still be seen, the flying fine sand makes it impossible to open your eyes.

Croton had never seen such a scene before, and was so frightened that it screamed, "Scare the bird to death, scare the bird to death..."

Xiao Han was afraid that Badou would fly around and get separated from him, so he hurriedly called out, "Badou, come here, get into the spirit beast bag."

Badou flew to Xiao Han hurriedly. Xiao Han grabbed it and stuffed it into the spirit beast bag.

At this moment, Xiao Han had long lost his sense of direction and just kept flying forward, away from the rolling sandstorm behind him.

As it got dark, the temperature dropped sharply.

The wind gradually became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

Xiao Han also landed, put away his flying sword, and sat cross-legged on the sand to rest.

After running for a long time, her spiritual energy was greatly consumed.

This desert is really not an easy place to get along with.

At this time, a full moon rose, quietly shining on the empty and desolate sea of sand.

The entire sea of sand seemed quiet and empty again.

Who could believe that half an hour ago, this sea of sand was still raging with strong winds and filled with dust, as if it were the end of the world.

In the distance, a gerbil appeared from nowhere and searched the ground for something to fill its stomach.

A piece of cactus rhizome was brought here by the storm and lay quietly on the sand.

The gerbil discovered it and immediately grabbed it with its two front paws and started chewing it.

At this moment, a sand snake with a yellowish-brown body and a black line on its back approached the gerbil silently from behind.

While gnawing on the cactus rhizomes, the gerbil was checking the surroundings when it spotted the sand snake and jumped up.

Unfortunately, it discovered it too late. The sand snake also launched an attack at this time, and its body also jumped up and bit the gerbil in mid-air.

The gerbil squeaked, but it couldn't break free.

Xiao Han's spiritual sense took in all the scenes in the distance, but he still sat cross-legged without any movement.

These little animals are nothing and are of no use at all.

I guess even Croton wouldn't be interested.

This guy eats food rich in spiritual energy every day, and his taste has become very picky.

Although this place was empty and there were no powerful monsters, Xiao Han still set up the defensive formation and then closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

Nothing happened all night.

The next morning, Xiao Han released Croton from the spirit beast bag.

Badou circled around and saw the desert had returned to normal. He said with lingering fear, "Master, Badou wants to go in."

It still wants to stay in the spirit beast bag.

Xiao Han nodded its little head and said, "Look at how little you've accomplished. What will you do if you encounter a more terrifying situation in the future?"

She hadn't planned on the Croton being able to help her in any way during the battle, but she also hoped that it wouldn't hold her back and could escape on its own if necessary.

How can you be so timid?

Xiao Han continued to search in the desert with Croton.

Perhaps because they were deep in the desert, she even saw a second-level desert wolf and several second-level small demon beasts that looked like minks. She also saw a demon camel and a demon beast that looked like a cat and a small leopard.

I don’t know how these guys feed themselves in the desert.

I wandered aimlessly for three days, but I didn't see the one-eyed two-headed lizard or the blackthorn fruit.

I saw many lizards, but none of them had two heads.

She only recognizes cacti as plants and cannot name other species.

That day Xiao Han discovered an oasis in the desert.

Next to a few poplar trees, there is a small lake covering an area of four or five acres, like a piece of transparent jade falling in this endless sea of sand.

Although Xiao Han and Badou did not need to replenish the lake water which had little spiritual energy, after wandering in the desert full of yellow sand for a few days, they couldn't help but want to get close to this small lake when they saw it.

Wandering around in the desert these past two days, I found that even performing the art of bringing rain to the surface was difficult, which shows that the water spirit in the air here is extremely scarce.

Seeing Badou standing at the edge of the lake taking a bath, Xiao Han took out a container of water and used the Spring Breeze and Rain Spell again.

Sure enough, it’s much easier to perform here.

Seeing Badou having fun by the water and the sun about to set, Xiao Han decided to rest nearby for one night.

This is a water source, and there may be many monsters coming here to drink water.

If there are third-level ones, they can be hunted and used to feed Croton.

Xiao Han jumped onto a tall poplar tree and sat down, slapping a breath-suppressing talisman on his body.

Although Badou was a weakling in combat, its spiritual pressure was still enough to scare the little demon beast. Xiao Han was afraid that it would scare the demon beast away, so he put Badou, who had played in the water, into the spirit beast bag.

As the sun sets, the desert's heat quickly begins to drop.

Soon, two desert wolves came running from a distance and stood by the lake drinking.

At this time, a second-level demon camel also came and began to drink water in big gulps.

The quality of these things was too low, Xiao Han was too lazy to take any of them, and just stayed on the poplar tree and watched boredly.

Suddenly, she sat up straight and stared at a huge rock about one meter tall on the opposite side of the lake.

She felt the spiritual pressure of a third-level monster there.

The next moment, her eyes widened instantly.

She saw the large rock that was originally exposed on the ground slowly move away, and a figure emerged.

Soon, she discovered that it was not a human, but a sand ape that looked very much like a human.

There was obviously a cave under the big rock, because several sand apes walked out of it one after another.

Among these sand apes, except for the leading ape which is at the third level, the other three are at the second level.

Four sand apes quickly ran towards the second-level demon camel in the distance.

The demon camel stopped drinking water and ran away.

The four sand apes immediately chased after it. Although the demon camel was usually slow, it ran at an incredible speed and turned over a sand dune in the blink of an eye.

The sand ape was not slow, but it was some distance away from the demon camel, so it would take some time to catch up.

This sand ape looks too much like a human. Xiao Han feels a little uncomfortable with Croton eating it and does not want to hunt the sand demon ape.

However, when she saw the moved stone, she suddenly wanted to see what was underneath.

Xiao Han immediately controlled the flying sword and flew to the big rock.

When she probed inside with her spiritual sense, she was shocked again.

There turned out to be a wide stone cave inside, with a curved stone staircase leading deep into the ground. The stone staircase turned a corner and could no longer be explored.

Xiao Han thought about it, holding an attack talisman in his hand, and quietly entered the cave.
