Ma Hongjun didn't plan to fuse with this soul bone.
This poisonous left arm bone of the Yellow Sand Dragon was actually similar in function to his own Scorpion Dragon tail bone.
"It should be suitable for Meng Yiran!"
He roughly judged that this soul bone was a poisonous soul bone over ten thousand years old, and should be compatible with Meng Yiran.
When he obtained the Dark Gold Terror Claw external soul bone, he owed the Dragon Snake Clan a favor, and Ma Hongjun promised the guild a soul bone.
Previously, all the soul bones Ma Hongjun had obtained were from the same soul beasts he hunted for his own soul rings, and they were all very suitable for him, so he didn't leave any for Meng Yiran.
Continue onward!
This seemed to be a journey without end.
Ma Hongjun focused on heading south.
The deeper he went, the more intense the sunlight became, the yellow sand was scorching, and even camels couldn't walk.
Just ten days later, the camel Ma Hongjun was leading couldn't hold on any longer and died.
Opening the map, Ma Hongjun no longer knew where he was.
There was a clear dividing line on the map;
ahead was the outer edge of the Southern Fire Domain Desert, and the oases were clearly marked.
From the territory of the Yellow Sands, the desert deepened, and the map became much rougher, with only two or three oases marked.
However, judging from the map's scale, Ma Hongjun had already traversed that area.
His food and water supplies were running low.
After reusing the camel, cutting off its flesh and taking some blood, Ma Hongjun continued onward.
There was no turning back now!
The vast desert stretched endlessly!
A month later!
Ma Hongjun's supplies were finally exhausted. Deeper into the desert, he rarely saw any living creature.
It was true!
Ma Hongjun now believed it.
The desert
was completely barren!
Utterly bare, just endless yellow sand, yellow sand, and more yellow sand.
Ma Hongjun's appearance at this moment was far from handsome.
His hair was disheveled, his beard unkempt;
the handsome young man of a few months ago had become a
wretched old man!
He hadn't bathed in a long time! If he didn't
find an oasis soon, if he
didn't reach the Fire Domain soon,
he might not meet the God of Fire, but rather the Grim Reaper.
Ma Hongjun rubbed the white sweat and salt crystals off his body, feeling disgusted with himself.
He felt like he was going crazy!
Luckily, for the past month or so, he had been traveling with a group.
Otherwise, walking alone, with nothing around him, would have truly driven him to the brink of collapse.
Although he was exhausted,
Ma Hongjun still missed Zhu Xiaofan, missed the ten days he had spent with her in the desert.
"If only I had brought Zhu Xiaofan with me, these days are too unbearable!"
Ma Hongjun muttered, grabbing a handful of sand and throwing it out, howling loudly to vent his loneliness.
"Cough cough!"
His throat was too dry to withstand Ma Hongjun's outburst.
Was this a test from God?
Ma Hongjun could only console himself with this thought; seeing God was indeed not easy!
Keep going!
Move forward again!
Suddenly, something unexpected happened ahead.
A sandstorm swept in,
a swirling yellow sandstorm!
Ma Hongjun was shocked; this wasn't the first time he had faced a sandstorm.
But previous sandstorms hadn't been this terrifying.
The sandstorm arrived too fast and too suddenly.
Ma Hongjun summoned his Martial God Spear, and
his sixth spirit ring lit up!
The silver spear transformed into a yellow spear.
Drawn by the earthen spear beneath his feet, the sand quickly enveloped Ma Hongjun.
In no time, Ma Hongjun's body was surrounded by a barrier formed by the sand.
This was Ma Hongjun's method of dealing with sandstorms:
using his spirit power to condense sand into a protective barrier.
"Whoosh~"
The sandstorm swept in!
The howling, frenzied sound was like a rampaging demon.
Ma Hongjun felt a powerful force pulling at his sand fortress.
This was the power of nature. It
was immense.
Ma Hongjun could feel the sand fortress being thinned.
The yellow light on the Martial God Spear blazed wildly. Ma Hongjun plunged the spear into the sand, using it as a base to
draw sand downwards, replenishing the fortress, before the entire structure sank.
Only by going underground was it the best way to deal with the sandstorm.
"Thank goodness for the Earth Spear soul skill!"
Ma Hongjun thought with lingering fear.
At this moment, he marveled at the power of the Martial God Spear.
These attribute soul skills, while not explosive, had limitless potential and high versatility; each skill had room for development.
Moreover, their effects were amplified infinitely in the appropriate environment.
Just as Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was like a forest spirit, all wild Blue Silver Grass could be used by him.
Ma Hongjun's attribute soul skill spear could do the same.
In the desert, the Earth Spear could draw upon the power of the earth attribute.
"Such a powerful sandstorm, without a way to deal with it, even a Title Douluo might perish,"
Ma Hongjun sighed. The power of nature is beyond human resistance.
Like the laws of nature!
After raging for a while, it slowly returned to calm.
Ma Hongjun emerged from the yellow sand.
At this moment, the desert returned to its calm state.
"That's..."
There seemed to be something different ahead, no longer just a stretch of yellow sand dunes.
Ma Hongjun excitedly rubbed his eyes.
He seemed to see a lake!
That blue color was so full of hope and excitement.
Ma Hongjun tried to calm himself down; the more dangerous the situation, the more cautious he had to be.
He couldn't die at the hospital entrance.
Slowly calming his agitated blood and qi,
Ma Hongjun ran forward quickly, keeping a high level of vigilance.
It looked close, but it was actually very far away. Ma Hongjun ran for a long time before finally reaching the lake.
After calmly surveying his surroundings and finding no potential danger,
Ma Hongjun jumped into the lake and gulped down water.
His body desperately needed water.
"It's the Martial God Spear!"
"Come in!"
A voice suddenly rang out, and the calm lake surface instantly rippled.
A large whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake.
The Martial God Spear emitted a silver light, a dragon's roar resounded, and a golden dragon appeared.
Before Ma Hongjun could even think about what was happening, he was pulled into the whirlpool by the Martial God Spear!
After Ma Hongjun entered, the lake surface immediately returned to calm!
It became a natural oasis of life.
...
Like falling from a waterfall,
"Splash!"
Ma Hongjun fell into the water again.
The azure water was crystal clear.
Ma Hongjun opened his eyes underwater, and after a splash of water,
he saw a white object.
It seemed to be a woman!
This scene greatly surprised Ma Hongjun, and he suddenly swallowed a mouthful of water.
Ma Hongjun quickly surfaced.
"Who are you?"
a clear female voice called out.
Ma Hongjun wiped his face with his hand and opened his eyes.
A woman, her arms crossed over her chest but her entire body clearly visible, was swimming in place in front of him.
Both of them were in the lake.
The woman looked at Ma Hongjun in surprise; how could this old man suddenly appear here?
This was the site of the Fire God's inheritance!
"Fire Dance!"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise, never expecting to encounter Fire Dance here.
"You weren't wearing any clothes; I almost didn't recognize you."
