"You said this treasure is special, so I have been carrying it in my sleeve pocket and not storing it in any storage device. What's wrong?" Nie Caizhu asked, blinking.
"That's great." Shen Luo was overjoyed.
Upon hearing this, Nie Caizhu had no idea what Shen Luo meant by "good", and could only ignorantly take out the Yuan-Devouring Magic Wand from her sleeve and hand it to him.
"Actually, this place is not without the vital energy of heaven and earth, but it is very thin, so thin that we can't perceive it at all. However, the sand beasts here have been living here all the time, and over time, there is still some vital energy of heaven and earth in their bodies." Shen Luo explained.
Hearing this, Nie Caizhu immediately understood.
Shen Luo also stood up at this time, holding the Yuan-Devouring Magic Rod in his hand and walked to the side of a sand scorpion. With a "swish", he poked it along the soft spot where the scales were connected.
The Yuan-devouring Magic Rod successfully pierced into the flesh and blood of the sand scorpion, and the latter's body quickly dried up until it turned into ashes. The little spiritual energy of heaven and earth condensed from the flesh and blood was completely absorbed by Shen Luo.
"It is indeed feasible, but it is a pity that there are too few of them." Shen Luo shook his head and said.
After that, he handed the Devouring Magic Wand to Nie Caizhu and said, "Even a mosquito's legs are still flesh. They can recover a little bit."
"You have been protecting me before, and your magic power consumption is much more serious than mine. You should go first." Nie Caizhu was amused by his words, but shook her head and said.
"We don't know how long the road ahead is, and how many dangers there are. How can I feel at ease if you don't recover more magic power?" Shen Luo insisted.
Seeing this, Nie Caizhu had no choice but to stand up and take the Yuan-Devouring Magic Wand.
After she absorbed half of the sand beast's corpse, she handed the Yuan-devouring Magic Rod back to Shen Luo.
By the time Shen Luo had absorbed all the remaining corpses of the sand beasts, the sun had already jumped out of the ground again, and the temperature around him began to rise rapidly again.
"Let's go, let's continue on our journey." Nie Caizhu urged Shen Luo when she saw him standing there.
"We are busy traveling during the day and have to deal with attacks from sand beasts at night. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on." Shen Luo said.
"Then what should we do?" Nie Caizhu asked in surprise.
"Please wait for me for a moment." Shen Luo grinned and sat down cross-legged.
He pinched his hands together and magical power began to ripple from his body. He was actually performing the art of spiritualism.
A moment later, a blue water cave appeared in front of the two people, and a huge sand lizard poked its head out and crawled out.
After landing, the sand lizard not only did not attack the two people, but instead lay on the ground very obediently, with its head resting at Shen Luo's feet.
"With the sand lizard as our means of transportation, we can live more easily." Shen Luo said with a smile.
He took Nie Caizhu onto the back of the sand lizard, and set off again, riding it deeper into the desert.
…
Time flies and three days have passed.
During this period, the two were attacked by sand beasts several times, but they did not choose to kill them with magic power. Instead, they took turns holding the Yuan-devouring Magic Rod and relying solely on their physical strength and body skills to move around and kill the sand beasts.
After each battle, the two would choose a sand python to barbecue and fill their stomachs to replenish their physical strength and blood.
Therefore, over the past three days, not only had their magic power not been completely consumed, but it had been replenished a lot.
