C2 A Desert Orphan

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

The deafening sound of thunder resounded throughout the entire Mortal World. The berserk purple lightning was like the rage of the Thunder God, causing the entire sky to appear incomparably gloomy and terrifying.

"This blood-refining desert hasn't seen a drizzle in a hundred years. Today, such a majestic heavy rain actually descends. Black raindrops are rarely seen since ancient times! Strange! Strange!" Old Man Pu Ling looked at the pouring black rain and muttered to himself in puzzlement.

"Let's not care about all of this for now. That medicine still lacks the most important catalyst. Now, I've already searched for ten years, and I hope I can fulfill my wish today. " Old Man Pu Ling sighed in his heart, shook his head with a bitter smile, and walked quickly towards the depths of the Blood Refinement Desert.

The thin figure disappeared in the heavy rain not long after. The shallow footprints on the ground were quickly wiped clean by the rain.

The Blood Refining Desert was known as a dangerous place in the human world. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to approach it, let alone go deep into the Blood Refining Desert. There were terrifying beasts here that made people tremble in fear. They were terrifying killers who killed without batting an eye. Not only that, there were all kinds of dangerous places in the Blood Refining Desert that were not poor. It could be said to be hell on earth.

However, danger was often accompanied by opportunities. Although the Blood Refining Desert was dangerous, the experts of the human realm liked to come here. One reason was that the Beast Crystal in the body of a fierce beast was expensive. Another reason was that. . . The blood-refining desert itself was a natural treasure trove of medicinal herbs. There were countless precious medicinal herbs. It could be said to be the treasure land that alchemists yearned for the most.

"Roar!"

A blood-thirsty roar suddenly sounded, interrupting Old Man Pu Ling's hurried footsteps. Old Man Pu Ling looked over and saw an unusually large wolf-like creature with scarlet eyes. It was stepping on the rainwater and creating a deep pit, quickly rushing towards him.

The most obvious characteristic of fierce beasts was that they had a pair of scarlet eyes. In their eyes, there was only slaughter, and it was a species that was completely dominated by hostility.

The fierce beast that rushed towards Old Man Pu Ling was the most common desert blood wolf in the Blood Refining Desert.

Its blood-stained fur made the desert blood wolf look incomparably fierce. Its sharp fangs were even broken metal. Once it bit it, It was inevitable to be injured or die.

This Desert Blood Wolf was abnormally large. It was more than two times larger than an ordinary Desert Blood Wolf. Old Man Pu Ling stood in front of it, like a child facing an adult. From its appearance, it could be seen that this desert blood wolf was definitely not simple.

"Hmph! A little Sixth Cycle Vicious Beast dares to be arrogant in front of me. Truly courting death!" Old Man Pu Ling cast a disdainful glance at the huge beast in front of him and coldly harrumphed.

As if it could see Old Man Pu Ling's disdain, the desert blood wolf instantly went berserk.

The muscles all over the Desert Blood Wolf's body twisted crazily, and a bloody smell filled the air around its body.

"Roar!"

An angry roar resounded across the sky. The Desert Blood Wolf's huge body rushed towards Old Man Pu Ling crazily. Its scarlet eyes were filled with death Qi, and it looked like it was going to kill Old Man Pu Ling or Old Man Pu Ling.

"A beast is a beast!" Old Man Pu Ling sighed helplessly and muttered to himself.

It was as if he was lamenting the Desert Blood Wolf's overestimation of its strength, and also lamenting its fate.

The Desert Blood Wolf's speed was famous for its speed. Dozens of meters away, it almost instantly rushed to Old Man Pu Ling's side. A pair of scarlet pupils appeared especially demonic and terrifying under the illumination of the purple lightning.

"Roar!"

Letting out a roar, the Desert Blood Wolf opened its bloody mouth and swiftly leapt up. Like a comet smashing into the earth, it flew towards Old Man Pu Ling's head and bit down rapidly.

The desert blood wolf directly made a ruthless move. With its fangs, once Old Man Pu Ling was bitten, even if it was an iron head, it would probably instantly shatter and die on the spot.

Feeling the body of the Desert Blood Wolf, Feeling the waves of bloody smell coming from the desert blood wolf, Old Man Pu Ling did not panic at all. That fierce desert blood wolf was like a naughty kitten in his eyes.

He quietly stood where he was. Old Man Pu Ling's deep eyes stared at the desert blood wolf, not showing any signs of wanting to fight back.

Just as the Desert Blood Wolf was about to bite Old Man Pu Ling, a transparent energy shot out from Old Man Pu Ling's forehead and pierced into the Desert Blood Wolf's bloody mouth.

When the transparent energy appeared, the entire space seemed to freeze. The heavy rain, the rumbling thunder and lightning, all felt much quieter.

There was no wound, no blood. The Desert Blood Wolf's body forcefully stopped in midair, just a few inches away from Old Man Pu Ling.

A pair of scarlet eyes filled with fear stared at this plain old man who looked like he could not even truss a chicken. The Desert Blood Wolf's body heavily fell to the ground, and without even making a sound of choking, the vitality in its body completely dissipated.

"A Six Cycle Beast Crystal, not bad. I can exchange it for a pot of high-grade wine and send it to that old fellow. " Old Man Pu Ling stroked his white beard, and a smile appeared on his face.

Old Man Pu Ling looked at the corpse of the Desert Blood Wolf and waved his hand casually. A rhombus-shaped blood-red crystal slowly floated out from the chest of the Desert Blood Wolf.

Old Man Pu Ling weighed the Beast Crystal, which was the size of a child's fist, and nodded with a smile. He took out an ancient grey bag from his body and put it into it.

"Ai! It seemed that there was no hope today. It was time to go back. Otherwise, once the Sea of Sin revolts, it will still be very troublesome. " Old Man Pu Ling looked at the sky that was completely covered by dark clouds and rainstorm and shook his head helplessly.

"Wah. . . "

Just as Old Man Pu Ling was about to turn around and leave, the cry of a baby suddenly cut through the sky and entered his ears.

"This. . . This is the cry of a baby?" Old Man Pu Ling looked in the direction of the sound, his deep eyes full of doubt.

"It must be an illusion. In this boundless desert, other than fierce beasts, it is very difficult for normal people to see a few. How can there be a baby?" Old Man Pu Ling laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head.

"Wow. . . "

"Wah. . . !"

"Wow. . . "

Old Man Pu Ling hadn't even started when the baby cry broke through the heavy rain once again and entered his ears. Moreover, it lasted for a surprisingly long time this time.

The weak baby cry was like a devil curse that kept echoing in Old Man Pu Ling's ears. It made his calm heart unconsciously become nervous.

Looking at the abnormal purple lightning in the sky and the surrounding black rain, Old Man Pu Ling's wrinkled brows tightly knitted together.

After hesitating for a moment, Old Man Pu Ling's figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood. When he reappeared, there was a naked baby in front of him.

The baby seemed to have just been born not long ago. Its red skin was so soft that it could be broken by a blow. Its bare little mouth opened and closed, and it was busy crying.

When it saw Old Man Pu Ling appear in front of it, the baby miraculously stopped crying.

Little Qiao's mouth was holding a finger. She kept looking at Old Man Pu Ling with her big, confused eyes, as if she wanted to remember the old man she saw at first glance after she was born.

Old Man Pu Ling stared at the little body for a while, then took off his coat and wrapped the baby up.

As if it was because it could not feel the coldness of the rain, the baby grabbed Old Man Pu Ling's long white beard and happily played with him.

The baby was probably too tired. After playing with him for a while, he fell into Old Man Pu Ling's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

A chubby little hand grabbed Old Man Pu Ling's beard tightly, as if it was afraid that Old Man Pu Ling would leave him behind.

"Xiao Yihan!" Picking up the dragon-shaped pendant hanging on the baby's neck, Old Man Pu Ling could clearly see three big words engraved on it.

"Kid, you are able to survive in such a vile place. This means that your life should not end. Since you and I are fated, it just so happens that I don't have a son. Then I will be your grandfather! This might also be a kind of predestined fate! Hahaha!" Old Man Pu Ling gently pinched the baby's bright red face. He could not help but laugh loudly.

"Let's go!"

In the heavy rain, Old Man Pu Ling carried the baby in his arms and soon disappeared.

At the same time, in the entire Blood Refining Desert, there was only the pattering of rain and the rumbling of thunder. Those fierce beasts that had always been fearless seemed to be very obedient today.
