The surging sand layer in front of him rolled and approached Ziqing.
If it is really natural selection, in such a harsh environment, there are still creatures that have evolved to adapt to the desert environment.
The sand dragon, which resembles a giant earthworm, has a skin that is in a circle of flesh knots, and the flesh knots stretch and wriggle forward.
The body of the coelenter, with its retractable mouthparts at the ends, resembles the staggered fangs of a squid, which can draw pitiful nutrients from the sand.
Obviously, the taste and nutrition of animals are far better than sand, so when Ziqing repeatedly shrinks their territory, they finally attack Ziqing.
After more than a year of accumulation, Ziqing's control of the Heavenly Phenomena Art has finally reached a perfect realm.
When the sand dragons rushed to the edge of the sand, they slammed into the rocks, and then burst out of the sand, raising their bodies several meters high and raising the yellow sand in the sky.
He opened his mouthparts wide and attacked at Ziqing.
This is the time.
Ziqing's long-prepared celestial technique suddenly unfolded, only to see hail falling from the sky.
In an instant, a wall of ice fell in front of her.
So the attacking sand dragons crashed into the ice wall in unison.
They are adapted to the sandy environment, can walk as well as in water, and their skin is adapted to the extremely different temperatures.
During the day, the body swells and secretes a mucus that attaches to the surface of the body to dissipate heat and protect it from the sun.
At night, it will automatically contract, and its body diameter will be directly reduced by half, and then it will curl up in the depths of the sand.
However, the ice wall suddenly appeared at this time, and when they collided, ice and fire collided instantly.
They simply can't adjust to their body's stress response in such a short period of time.
So the mucus stuck to the ice wall, and with a violent struggle, it tore off a large piece of the skin around the mouthparts.
These guys are no match for humans in the desert, but once they leave the sand, their movement and attack power will be greatly reduced.
Seeing that the situation was not good, they were about to give up the delicious prey in front of them and escape, when another wall of ice formed by hail blocked their way, and finally they were directly frozen into canned earthworms.
Ziqing has fully adapted to the way of survival here, and at this time, he can play with ease with the technique of celestial phenomena.
The hailstone's ice wall can last up to two days, so it's also a means she uses to withstand the wind and sand and guard the fruits of her labor.
When the wind and sand hit, they use a hail wall to block it.
The more she uses it, the more skilled she becomes, the more powerful the hail wall becomes.
In addition to the sand dragons, there are several powerful creatures in the desert.
Man-eating ants and sand monsters.
Man-eating ants are as large as fists, and the pincers secrete a substance that corrodes their prey into a slurry that they can then suck up.
During the hunt, the entire nest of man-eating ants poured out of the nest, like an overwhelming black flood, and all life was swept away in its pass, including plants.
The Sand Monster, based on Ziqing's observations, is a magical creature that is almost a tailor-made master of the desert, which can devour sand and gravel, transform it into its own nutrients, and even extract useful elements from it to strengthen its body.
Somewhat similar to the golden beetle that they once encountered, the difference is that the sand monsters have no wings, but instead have more and longer nodular-like feet, supporting their fusiform bodies like bamboo knots.
At the tip of the fusiform is a replica mouthpart of an insect, two slender but steel-like tentacles attack and tear the prey, and then a slender needle is poked out of the mouthpart, and a "melting agent" is injected into the prey, just like the feeding method of the Woo people, which first melts the prey and then swallows it.
What's worse is that these sand monsters are also social animals, and they know how to cooperate with offense and defense when hunting.
As a result, they gradually occupied the center of the desert, driving the man-eating ants and sand dragons to the edge of the desert.
Ziqing had seen hundreds of sand monsters hunting more than a dozen sand dragons that were much larger than them.
Several sand monsters jumped directly onto the sand dragon with long bamboo-like feet, and pierced the needles in their mouthparts from the sand dragon's nodules, but in a moment, the round sand dragon was sucked into only a piece of skin.
The skin of the sand dragon is very flexible, wear-resistant, and breathable, which is perfect for shoes and clothing.
Originally, Ziqing could still pick up a leak or something, but when those sand monsters withdrew, suddenly a sand dune rose up below, and the more it bubbled, the more it grew, as if something was coming out from below.
Then she saw ink pouring from the top of the dunes, gushing out in a steady stream, covering the ground around her with black in an instant.
When I looked closely, I realized that it was the man-eating ants, and like scavengers, they swept away all the traces left on the ground, including the teeth of the sand dragon, and they could not escape the corrosion of formic acid.
Zijing used the hail wall to see what happened to avoid being overwhelmed by the ant tide.
However, the man-eating ants came and went quickly, and after they swiped a radius of tens of miles, they immediately shrank, just like the replay of the camera when it first came out.
The ink pouring down the ground quickly shrank into the middle, burrowing into the top of the dune just now, and finally the protruding dune slowly sank back to its original appearance.
I didn't expect this man-eating ant to move so quickly and well-organized.
There must have been a highest-ranking commander beneath the dunes.
Therefore, to deal with them, as long as you catch the queen ant, you can cut them off in one pot However, in view of the current dire situation, it is not yet time to solve them.

When the sand dragon is in the wind, it can whip up a sandstorm dozens of stories high, and then use the wind to move the entire sand dune to the wasteland.
The desertification on this planet is so fast, and the sand dragon is indispensable.
So, the immediate task is to get the Sand Dragons and Sand Monsters done.
Ziqing has been moving along the border between the desert and the wasteland all this time, observing and understanding information while refining his skills.
And through the battle with the Sand Dragons just now, Ziqing knew that he was ready.
Be proactive.
Ziqing's target this time is the sand monster.
Almost every part of their bodies is a refining-level material, which can be made into weapons, and they are too urgently needed for their current poor and white situation.
After all, using the hail wall to deal with the sand dragon is too time-consuming and very limited, and she needs to consume a lot of mental energy and be extremely focused.
If there is a fish that slips through the net, or an enemy behind you sneaks up or something, it is very dangerous.
So she had to have a better and more handy weapon that would free her from the limitations of simply using her skills.
Sand monsters are the best choice.
Ziqing put on clothes and shoes made of sand dragon skin, prepared a few packets of dry food, and a stone hammer.
After some simple preparations, we are ready to go. t1706231537:
