Chapter 365: Kendia Desert
The title of the book has the word sunbath in it, but the sun in the Kenyan desert is not gentle enough to be enjoyable, it is a harsh environment, and surviving there is a great challenge in itself.
For thousands of years, human beings have created countless kingdoms in the Kendia Desert, creating a prosperous and powerful scene, and to this day, there are still human kingdoms on the yellow sand, but they are no longer prosperous.
Humans are very adaptable creatures, but in the hunter world, there are more adaptable creatures than humans.
The oases formed by the underground rivers are becoming less and less, and the living environment is becoming more and more difficult.
However, there is a group of dangerous creatures that are still able to adapt strongly, and their numbers are gradually increasing while the human base is gradually decreasing.
The world is so big, and there are many places to go, but it is difficult to move to the homeland, and people who have lived in the Kendia Desert for generations have never thought of leaving.
Today, the Kenya Desert, as the largest desert in the world, is one of the most inhospitable places in the world for living things, and is also the desert with the largest population and country.
The yellow sand spreads for thousands of miles, the crimson rock mountain stands alone on the yellow sand, and when the wind rises, the yellow sand flies all over the sky.
An armored cow ran on the yellow sand, rolling up a long saloon.
The Armored Cow is a desert land creature with great stamina, thirst, heat and cold.
It is very different from ordinary cattle in that it has five stomachs, four of which can be used to store a lot of water, and there are no sharp horns on the skull, but it is covered with a thick layer of hard skin from the edge of the forehead to the back of the neck, like armor, hence the name.
The armored ox was domesticated by the people who lived in the Kendia Desert and was an indispensable companion for walking in the desert.
Luo and his party rode on a sled pulled by the armored ox and headed towards the front that was so wide that there was no edge in sight.
It has been three days since they entered the desert, and so far, they have seen scorpions the size of three-story houses, sandworms up to ten meters long, walking cacti, and sandstorms that cover the sky, but they have never seen people.
"Lin Nie, how long will it take to get to the Elba Oasis?"
Luo rode on the broad back of the armored ox, first looked at Buhara, who was lying listlessly on the sled, and then looked at Lin Nie, who closed his eyes and recuperated.
Hearing Luo's words, Lin Nie's eyes opened a gap and said, "If nothing happens, it will arrive in the evening the day after tomorrow." ”
Luo Wenyan nodded and looked ahead.
There was a wooden half-canopy on the sand sled, which he had remodeled with God's hand before setting out, which could somewhat block out the scorching sun, but could not isolate the temperature.
The water brought out before departure is basically bottoming out, which is also the reason why Buhara is listless, and Lin Nie is old, so his body must be suffering, but he didn't show it like Buhara.
"Two days?"
Luo looked at the sand dunes and scattered rocky mountains in the distance, with the existing water, it was absolutely impossible to survive until the day after tomorrow.
One thing Luo knew very well was that it was impossible to encounter any oasis on the way to the Elba Oasis.
Today, there are only three large oases left in the Kendia Desert, as well as a small oasis located within the Red Rock Gorge.
The Elba Oasis is one of the three large oases where three nations stand, while the smaller oases in the Red Rock Canyon are occupied by brutal and cold-blooded sand bandits.
Oases are the source of life for the desert, and the Kenya Desert, the largest desert in the world, has only four oases, which is a harsh reality.
In other words, before arriving at the Elba Oasis, there was no oasis to replenish the water on the way.
Generally speaking, a small team of threesomes like Luo should bring at least two armored oxen when traveling, and if they only bring one, their resources will not be enough to support them to the finish line.
It turned out that the resources carried by an armored cow were indeed not enough for them to use, but the reason why they only brought an armored cow was requested by Lin Nie, perhaps to increase the difficulty.
"If only you could meet a dancing cactus, but not really, any creature. ”
Luo thought silently, picked up the cowhide water bag hanging from his waist, and threw it towards Bukhara.
The slightly flattened water bag landed on Bukhara's stomach and bounced a few times, shaking out a pleasant sound of water.
Bukhara opened his eyes suddenly, reached out and grabbed the water bag, pulled the plug with lightning speed, and poured the little water left in the water bag at once, and then let out a soft sigh of satisfaction.
"Resurrected!"
Bukhara straightened his upper body slightly, and suddenly came to his senses.
"Lin Nie's water, you can't move it, the bag just now is the last water left. Law glanced back at Buhara, who had nowhere to go.
"After drinking the water you gave me, Boss, I think I can last at least three hours!" said Buharat seriously.
Luo smiled and said, "That's the best." ”
An hour later, Bukhara lay down.
What about the promised three hours?
Luo rubbed his forehead, always keeping an eye on his surroundings, once a creature appeared in his field of vision, he would jump out of the car to capture it as soon as possible, if he was too unlucky, it would be dangerous.
Looking back at Lin Nie, who had always closed her eyes and recuperating, she always felt that she didn't seem to be worried at all, if the water source was cut off in this environment, no matter how strong her mind was, she would not be able to hold it.
Time passed, half an hour passed, and Luo's body began to run out of water.
It's half past two in the afternoon, and it's still four hours before the sun goes down.
"Trouble. ”
Luo frowned slightly, the remaining water in the whole car was half a bag of water in Lin Nie's hand, and it was also the last source of water that the two of them must not reach out.
According to Lin Nie's book, the best object to replenish water in the Kendia Desert is a dancing cactus, but they are too unlucky, except for one shortly after departure, they have never encountered a second one.
At this moment, a dust mist was lifted in front of him.
Luo Ningshen looked at the place where the dust mist was raised, and there was a flash of joy in his eyes, which was the dust mist raised by the armored ox when he was running.
"I've finally met someone. ”
After a while, the dust and fog got closer and closer, and Luo saw the person coming clearly.
There were five armored oxen in total, each with a man sitting on their backs, each wrapped in a yellow head, with a black beard and dark skin, and holding a horse chopping knife more than two meters long in his hand.
Law touched the back of the Armored Ox's neck somewhere, causing it to slow down and stop.
The five armored oxen coming from the front had no intention of slowing down, and they were neck and neck, and the momentum was menacing.
When the distance between the two sides was reduced to less than three hundred meters, I saw that the five people sitting on the armored cow took out a stone bow and crossbow one after another, and shot five crossbow arrows towards Luo's position.
The sound of breaking the air started, and he launched an attack without greeting him.
A chill flashed in Luo's eyes, and he drove his mental power to easily stop five crossbow arrows with good accuracy, only to see that the arrows made of stones were coated with venom.
This discovery made the chill in Luo's eyes even stronger.
At the same time, Lin Nie's eyes narrowed open a slit.
