Chapter 157: The Purple Flame
Perhaps one punch had no effect, two punches did not, three punches, four punches, and five punches. Zhou Rui never gave up. On the swaying body of the giant scorpion, Zhou Rui kept hitting the same part behind the giant scorpion.
Finally, the giant scorpion couldn't help but feel a severe pain and made a "hissing" pain.
Zhou Rui used all his strength with his last blow, and the flames in his hand gradually began to turn from yellow to purple.
"boom!"
Zhou Rui punched the hard armor on the back of the giant scorpion and made a huge hole, and there was still a fire around the shattered hard armor.
"Stop!"
At this time, someone suddenly shouted from afar. The giant scorpion was so painful that it stopped moving and had no strength to resist.
Zhou Rui's hand grabbed the giant scorpion's body tightly and gasped heavily.
"Who?"
Following the direction of the sound, Zhou Rui saw a figure from afar.
The man continued to shout, "Come down quickly! He is no longer able to do it."
Hearing the sound, Zhou Rui looked at the giant scorpion in front of him and still stopped moving, so he slowly let go of his hand, stood up, and watched the figure keep walking in.
"Who are you?" When the man walked in, Zhou Rui stood on the giant scorpion and looked at the look in front of him.
There was an old man with a green beard standing in front of him, very short, holding a crutch of dead wood in his hand. His hair and beard were also connected, and it turned green.
"Get out quickly, I'll let him leave here now." The old man said hurriedly, begging Zhou Rui to leave the giant scorpion's body as soon as possible.
Zhou Rui nodded and said, "As long as he is not fighting with me, I will have no grudges or grudges with him."
"Bang."
Zhou Rui jumped down and stood in front of the old man with green beard. After jumping in front of him, Zhou Rui felt that the old man's body was shorter, even half his height.
The old man picked up the crutch in his hand, ran towards the giant scorpion, leaned beside the giant scorpion, and said a few words. Zhou Rui stood far away, but he couldn't hear clearly what the old man was saying.
Hearing the old man's words, the giant scorpion slowly stood up, endured the pain behind him and said, "I'd like to help you."
The old man waved the crutch in his hand, and a breeze blew up the back of the giant scorpion. The carapace that had been crushed by Zhou Rui slowly returned to its original state under the caress of the old man's breeze.
"Okay, you can leave!" The old man patted the giant scorpion's body a few times and said with a smile.
The giant scorpion made a "hissing" sound, and instantly penetrated into the sand, his body was buried, and there was no trace again.
The old man smiled and touched his beard, saying, "Thank you, Young Master, for raising your hands."
Zhou Rui said, "If the old man is not there, I don't want his life. Thanks to the old man who can stop there."
Zhou Rui just saw the old man's actions towards the giant scorpion, and vaguely felt that the old man did not look like a mortal, so he seemed very polite when speaking.
The old man looked up and down at Zhou Rui and said, "If the young man doesn't dislike him, can he sit down at the place where he lives?"
"This..." Zhou Rui was a little hesitant. He couldn't figure out the old man's background and was afraid that the old man and the giant scorpion were in the same group. He asked him to go home to grab the ring in his hand.
Seeing Zhou Rui hesitating, the old man said, "Don't worry, young man, I am definitely not a bad person. If the young man wants to go out in this vast desert, he may really have to follow this husband's steps."
Zhou Rui looked at the surrounding environment and knew that there was not much water left in his pocket, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble the old man."
The old man said, "Haha, let's go."
Zhou Rui followed the old man without daring to neglect for a moment, and still focused on protecting his safety. However, the old man walked very easily and walked forward step by step, not knowing what to humming in his mouth.
Along the way, the old man would occasionally chat with Zhou Rui, asking why Zhou Rui came, where he came from, and where he was going.
However, Zhou Rui has always been wary and dared not speak much. He just nodded and answered um.
The old man mentioned the giant scorpion that had just fought with Zhou Rui. This giant scorpion is a monster that has been living in the dust and sand realm all year round. It is huge in size and its main responsibility is to protect the safety here. He lives under the ground on weekdays. Today, he saw Zhou Rui step into the dust and sand realm and then came out of the sand pile.
After walking for a long time, Zhou Rui was tired and thirsty, and his body began to slowly reach its limit. He had to rush forward in the hot environment and kept guarding against the old man in front of him. Even Zhou Rui was exhausted physically and mentally.
"We're here!" the old man pointed to an oasis in front of him and said.
Seeing the environment with trees and water in front of him, Zhou Rui suddenly became energetic and pulled out his steps and ran towards the pond here. The old man smiled and said, "Slow down, be careful that the environment of the sand is not easy to walk."
Zhou Rui rushed to the edge of the pond in a few steps, picked up a handful of water and hit his face. An unprecedented sense of coolness instantly hit every pore of Zhou Rui.
"It's so comfortable!" Zhou Rui couldn't help but scream.
After drinking a few sips of water, Zhou Rui sat at the root of the tree, enjoying a cool feeling in the desert. People who have never been to the desert will never understand what the oasis means to pedestrians in the desert.
At this time, the old man also walked into the woods, pointed to the cottage in front of him and said, "Get up quickly, I'm going to my house to rest slowly."
