"Great!" Liu Ruyan clapped her hands excitedly, "With the help of you, a battle-hardened Taoist priest, we will definitely be able to defeat that bad guy Jia Deren." ”

"Of course!" Nie Yuanfeng's tail began to, "Jia Deren will definitely run away when he sees me like a mouse sees a cat." ”

"Not necessarily. Wang Pengzhan said coldly, "As far as I know, Jia Deren is a master who crawled out of the pile of dead people. ”

Long Jingtian was naturally unconvinced and was about to debate with Wang Pengzhan, but was stopped by Tianjizi. "There is still some time before dawn, so let's get some rest! ”

Fortunately, the tent was still there, and everyone got into the tent, closed their eyes and began to sleep. There is only one person who can't sleep, and he is Wang Pengzhan.

Wang Pengzhan wondered where Jia Deren had gone with the treasure? With little fresh water and rations left, could we persist in reaching our destination?

Wang Pengzhan's worries are not unreasonable, but don't forget that there is an extra Taoist priest by his side, and these problems will be solved.

When the red sun rose lazily from the edge of the desert, Tianjizi had already led everyone on the road. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, and as soon as the sun comes out, the temperature will rise in a straight line, so he has to take advantage of the coolness of the early morning to lead everyone to walk an extra distance.

There have been legends about the treasures of the desert city for a long time. Before that, there were many people who ventured into this place with the dream of making a fortune, but either in vain or never went out.

The sun had crept high, and it began to spew flames violently, scorching the desert. Sweat poured out of the pores uncontrollably, pooling into streams that flowed down the body and soaked the clothes.

"Tianjizi, I'm so thirsty!" Nie Yuanfeng swallowed hard, feeling that his throat and eyes hurt as if he had been cut by a knife.

Tianjizi handed his kettle to Nie Yuanfeng, "Save some drink, we have to hold on for a while before we can get to the water source." ”

Nie Yuanfeng took the kettle as if he hadn't heard Tianjizi's words, raised his neck and drank it in a big gulp.

"Hey, you brainless guy, do you want to drink all the water in one go?" Long Jingtian stopped Nie Yuanfeng.

Nie Yuanfeng gasped, "Long Jingtian, you always go against me, just let me drink it happily!"

Long Jingtian snatched the kettle without saying a word and screwed the lid

Handed it over to Tianjizi. "Do you think you're thirsty? We all have the same dry mouths as you do, but you have the least perseverance. You're still a gentleman!. ”

Long Jingtian's words stimulated Zhang Nie Yuanfeng, and he blushed and said with a thick neck: "I'm protecting my physical strength." "I think you'd better save your spit, lest you'll be thirsty again in a moment." Wang Pengzhan said sarcastically.

Nie Yuanfeng was speechless, who let him have the handle to fall into the hands of others? He clenched his fists tightly, thinking to himself that this Wang Pengzhan is really a nasty guy, there is a good saying, "Why should men be embarrassed by men?"

There are also occasional plants along the way, and it's a miracle that plants survive in such an extremely arid place.

In order to cope with the extreme harsh climate of the desert, some desert plants adopt the "

can't be provoked, can afford to hide", they shed their leaves and dormant in the arid and hot summer, and waited until summer went to autumn, and then continued to grow and sprout.

Due to drought, the root systems of those plants that grow in the desert are generally very developed, dozens or even hundreds of times larger than those of the aboveground parts. This allows them to draw water from the ground.

They also evolve into strange appearances that are different from the rest. This is not to Zhang Rhodon to discover a strange plant, which is a "leafless tree". To reduce the evaporation of water, its leaves have degraded like scales

Wrapped in tree branches, it mainly relies on green branches instead of leaves for photosynthesis and production of nutrients. Long Jingtian was very excited to see this strange plant

"Let's go!" Wang Pengzhan turned around and shouted impatiently. His mind is on the treasure, but he doesn't want to be delayed by these boring things, if Jia Deren finds the treasure first, it will be a bamboo basket for water.

"What a nasty guy. Long Jingtian put away his camera and took a step to follow.

The air began to fill with dampness, and I felt more comfortable from my nose to my mouth than I had ever felt before.

"It looks like we're not far from the water source. Tianjizi said with some excitement.

The further you go, the more humid and viscous the air becomes, as if you can grasp it with your hands and feel its presence with your skin.

"It seems that there is really a water source ahead, let's go quickly!" Nie Yuanfeng stumbled towards the shouts of his disciples. The terrain became lower and lower, and a clear lake appeared in front of him, and he could not suppress the joy in his heart, and rushed towards the lake with a shout.

"Water! Finally found water!" the others were equally excited, and everyone rushed to the water's edge in desperation. Nie Yuanfeng was already lying on the ground, and he was about to plunge his head into the water and drink happily. Suddenly, a powerful big hand grabbed the back of Nie Yuanfeng's neck and pulled him up.

"Tianjizi, what are you pulling me for?" Nie Yuanfeng looked at Tianjizi inexplicably. Tianjizi said with a serious expression: "This water can't be drunk!"

"Why?" everyone looked at Tianjizi in a daze, unable to accept this fact. Tianjizi did not rush to answer, he carefully examined the lake, looked around the surroundings again, and then said with certainty:

"This water is poisonous!" "Don't you go, you're kidding." Wang Pengzhan learned the tone of the sketch actor, "How can such clear water be poisonous?"

Hmph! Tianjizi sneered, "Dao Chief, do you want to tell me why this water is poisonous?" Liu Ruyan asked urgently.

Tianjizi did not answer directly, but asked such a question: "Do you take a closer look at the existence of fish or other aquatic animals and plants in this water?"

Wang Pengzhan and Liu Ruyan carefully observed the lake, only to find that although the lake water was clear, they could not see a single fish swimming in the water at all, not even a single water worm.

"Tianjizi, not only are there no fish in this lake, but there are no aquatic plants. ”

Or Long Jingtian was careful, and she found that there were more unusual things in the water of this lake. The lake was like a dead lake, with no signs of life.

Tianjizi continued: "If you look around this lake again, you will understand it even more. Everyone looked around, and then it dawned on them. Wang Pengzhan thought to himself that just now fortunately, Tianjizi stopped everyone in time,

Otherwise, they might have died by now.

"You're right, it's really not normal here, there's definitely something wrong with the water. Wang Pengzhan was convinced.

What the hell is going on? Confused me. Long Jingtian looked at the crystal clear lake water but couldn't drink it, not to mention how lost he was. At this moment, a gust of wind struck, and immediately a diffuse white powder rose in front of his eyes, choking people to cough.

"This is a rare saline lake in the desert. "You can see that the sand around the lake is covered with a layer of white powder, which is the salt that separates from the lake water. The concentration of these salts in the lake water is very large, which will cause a large amount of dehydration of biological cells, so that no living things can be seen in the water. ”

Everyone's eyes were as big as light bulbs, and they didn't expect the salt-alkali lake to have such a lethal power. "Tianjizi, if we drink the water in this lake, not only will it not quench our thirst, but it will cause dehydration in our body, right?"

Long Jingtian is more brainy than Nie Yuanfeng, and she made her own analysis based on Tianjizi's introduction.

"Long Jingtian is right, the reason why this water can't be drunk is because of this reason. It is also known as the Dead Lake because it can dehydrate all living things. ”

"Since this water can't be drunk, what are we still doing here? Let's go!"

Wang Pengzhan's mind was not here at all, he was always worried about whether Jia Deren had taken the lead. Seeing a lake of clear water but unable to drink it, everyone embarked on the journey again. The scorching sun is shining, sweat is dripping, the mouth is dry and dry, and the heart is still beating when touched.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a man falling. "Willow is like smoke, willow is like smoke!" Wang Pengzhan shouted as he hugged Liu Ruyan in his arms. Tianjizi unloaded the backpack behind him and put it on the ground, "Quickly carry him to this." ”

Wang Pengzhan looked at Tianjizi puzzled. "Don't grind, he's collapsed. Tianjizi reached out and lifted Liu Ruyan onto the backpack.

Liu Ruyan collapsed due to high temperature and lack of water, and if her body was still lying on the sand with a temperature of up to dozens of degrees, it would definitely aggravate her condition. That's why Tianjizi put the rucksack on the ground and lifted Liu Ruyan's body onto the rucksack, which could reduce the damage of the high temperature to her.

Liu Ruyan lay flat on the rucksack, and Tianjizi lowered her head and raised her legs, which was more conducive to blood return and made the blood supply to the heart and brain more sufficient.

Nie Yuanfeng took off his hat and gently stirred Liu Ruyan's forehead, "Are you okay?" he asked with concern.

Liu Ruyan's eyelids seemed to be pulled down by something, and he couldn't open them, but he vaguely heard a voice that looked like Nie Yuanfeng's in his ears.

At this time, the message, all the experiences of the first half of his life like a movie, he thought he was going to die, and a woman can only think about life if she is so confused.

He didn't know why he was here, he was just chasing his husband, he wanted to have a good life, but what her husband did was already something he was going to do in the future, and he couldn't control it at all.

He fainted, not only physically dizzy, but also confused about life, he didn't know himself, in this journey, what would happen to this group of people, and what would be the outcome?
