The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, and the croton, a bird that lives in the monster forest where the temperature difference between seasons is not much, is not very adaptable to this.

For this reason, Xiao Han asked it to be on duty during the morning and evening when the temperature was more comfortable, so that she could take a break.

During the rest of the time, Xiao Han was on duty alone.

This is a water source, so naturally many monsters come here to drink. Therefore, Croton has no shortage of food, and it is quite happy to stay here.

At first, Xiao Han wanted to fetch some water from the stream every day to irrigate the red thorns. Later, he remembered that there was a stone mortar in his storage bag that would overflow with spiritual water. According to the comparison with the croton, the water in the stone mortar tasted better, which meant that the spiritual energy it contained was richer.

So she used the spiritual water in the stone mortar to water it once a day.

You know what, she felt that after being watered with the spiritual water, the branches of the red thorns seemed more energetic.

But, don't elixirs of natural treasures generally become more effective the older they are? This red thorn fruit is only blooming now. When exactly does she have to wait to pick it for the medicinal effect to be fully realized?

Xiao Han had no idea, so he could only wait for it to bear fruit and turn purple-black.

Time passed day by day, and two months later, the flowers on the red thorns finally withered.

Seeing the tiny fruit grains popping out from the branches, Xiao Han was filled with anticipation.

Perhaps it was because of the fourth-level demon bird, Badou, jumping around here every day, or perhaps it was because of the powerful spiritual pressure of Xiao Han who was practicing here, the jerboa no longer dared to come and eat the red thorn fruit flowers.

These two months have been basically calm.

But on this day, the peaceful days were finally broken.

Because it was the cool time in the morning, which was Croton's duty time, Xiao Han sat under the awning and closed his eyes to rest.

The croton flying around accidentally flew high into the sky, glanced into the distance, and then its bird eyes instantly widened.

"Master, master..."

Badou's cry woke Xiao Han up. A moment later, she flew high into the sky on her flying sword, and then she couldn't help but frown.

A black wave was surging towards the oasis, clearly a large number of reptiles. From such a distance, it was impossible to tell what kind of monster they were.

In front of these evil insects, there are many desert beetles, lizards, sand snakes, etc. running wildly in front.

The fast-running lizard is almost approaching the oasis.

Xiao Han immediately ordered: "Badou, you stay here and I'll go over and take a look."

Then, she rode the flying sword and rushed over.

When he got closer, Xiao Han realized that it was a swarm of desert red ants that looked like a red wave.

Each of these red ants is half an inch in size, which is many times larger than normal ants.

Even though Xiao Han didn't know the specific characteristics of these desert red ants, she could imagine that wherever they passed, any living creature that ran slowly would be wiped out. All green plants would probably be wiped out.

Xiao Han immediately turned around and rushed back, taking out a set of defensive array plates from Yin Shu's storage bag, and protected the red thorns and the cacti.

After thinking about it, she decided to take the initiative and intercept it.

What if these desert red ants destroy the ecology of this oasis, thus affecting the growth of red thorn fruit?

The red thorn was protected, and there was no need to guard the croton anymore, so it flew over with Xiao Han.

Flying over to check the ant colony again, Xiao Han looked at the red wave that stretched for more than ten miles and felt a headache.

But now she can only do her best, and it would be best to eliminate them all outside the oasis.

She tried throwing a fireball talisman down, and a huge burst of flames instantly engulfed the red ants.

The red ants that were not covered by the flames immediately moved away like waves.

The red ants in other places are still advancing rapidly.

Xiao Han then used the fireball spell to burn all the red ants in another area.

Just as she was about to make another effort and burn her way through, many winged red ants suddenly flew up from the red wave.

These red ants rushed towards her fearlessly.

The croton following Xiao Han was immediately frightened and screamed, then spread its wings and flew away.

Xiao Han's face darkened. He erected a protective shield for himself, and then a storm of spiritual energy swept through him.

After one move, the area within a radius of four or five feet around her was cleared.

The flying speed and attack power of these red ants still cannot be compared with the queen bees in the Monster Forest, which makes Xiao Han feel relieved.

If it weren't for the need to protect Red Thorn from any unexpected events, she wouldn't have come to fight these useless desert ants.

Forget it, in order to protect the ecological environment of the oasis behind her from being disturbed and destroyed, she must fight these nasty things to the end today.

Xiao Han took out another talisman and threw it towards the area where the red ants were densely populated.

Then, use the spiritual power storm to sweep away the flying ants that are besieging him.

However, the red ants' route was too long, and her sweeping movement bit by bit was simply unable to prevent the large army from entering the oasis.

Xiao Han changed his fighting style again, jumped off the flying sword, landed on the ground in front of the red ant, and madly injected spiritual power into the flying sword.

Then she took advantage of the ability of foundation-building cultivators to stay in the air for a short time, leaped high into the sky, and slashed at the forefront of the red ant wave with a sword.

This sword beam wasn't particularly powerful, but it reached a great distance, more than ten feet. Not only did it crush the front portion of the red ants, but it also left a furrow four or five feet wide and over ten feet deep in the sand.

In this way, the advancing speed of the red ants behind will definitely be hindered.

After strangling all the flying ants that were besieging her again, she ran forward as fast as lightning and slashed down with another sword.

In this way, a ravine quickly advanced forward.

More and more flying ants attacked her without hesitation.

Xiao Han advanced three or four miles in one breath before he had time to look back.

Then, she saw more than twenty anteaters covered with thick scales in the distance, running quickly towards the ant colony.

Haha, reinforcements are coming.

Xiao Han was happy and started to swing his sword to dig a ditch again, moving forward.

When the anteaters found that the trench was full of red ants, they simply squatted at the edge of the trench, stretched out their long tongues, rolled up the ants and swallowed them frantically.

The red ants naturally attacked these anteaters as well.

However, their teeth could not bite through the anteater's thick scales, nor could they penetrate into the anteater's body.

Each anteater is covered with dense red ants, piling them into a red ball.

The anteater's slender and sticky tongue rolls around its body, and the red ants lying on its body immediately become delicacies in its mouth.

These twenty or so anteaters were having a gluttonous feast, and their stomachs were soon bulging.
