Chapter 650: Crossing the Desert
Sure enough, it is a fine product, the pollen in Jiang Li's hand looks very different from ordinary pollen, because from the outside, it is not only crystal clear, but also angular and very exquisite.
"If I hadn't promised you before, such a good thing would have allowed me to make a lot of honey!" said the big bee looking at the pollen in Jiang Li's hand.
Jiang Li hurriedly put away the pollen, and then put it in the brocade box in his arms, this time no one could take it away if they wanted to.
For a while, the dryad and the big bee began to laugh wildly, Jiang Li shrugged his shoulders at the spirit monkey, and then began to laugh too, although they didn't know what they were laughing at, but they were still very happy.
Up to now, Jiang Li had collected the three raw materials needed to brew the elixir, but there was a long way to go, Jiang Li and the spirit monkey had no choice but to thank the big bee, and then started their new journey.
"Where are we going next?" The spirit monkey is also very happy about the various adventures along the way, so every time after a small success, he will also have fantasies about the next advance. This is a good sign, but it simply shows that the spirit monkey has put himself in a part of Jiang Li's life, and such a good partner can be described as very rare.
"The next treasure is the phoenix grass on our Phoenix Mountain!" Jiang Li said: "I don't think this phoenix grass is a difficult thing to find? In this kind of place, there should be a kind of grass everywhere!"
"Ah, phoenix grass?" the spirit monkey frowned and asked, "What color phoenix grass is it?"
"What's wrong? Is it difficult?" Jiang Li was also frightened by the spirit monkey's expression, because he still didn't have a deeper understanding of the spirit monkey here, so he also believed what the spirit monkey said.
"Tell me quickly, what color it is, and then I'll judge the ease!" The spirit monkey didn't know if it was a mood of anticipation for this matter, or a state of complaining, but it could be seen that it really regarded Jiang Li's matter as a thing.
"What Master said is the green phoenix grass on Phoenix Mountain!" Jiang Li replied, and then looked at the spirit monkey intently, wanting to hear how it explained this matter, although he also didn't know what kind of mystery there was in it.
"Ahh
"Can't we go directly to the place where the green phoenix grass grows?" Jiang Li wondered, why did he have to go around the desert?
"This place is the closest to where the phoenix grass grows, but when we climb over this woods, we see a large desert. And the desert has no edge, if we go around, we will definitely enter the strange circle of the desert, so we can only enter the hinterland of the desert according to certain guidelines, and then cross the entire desert, and we will also arrive at the prairie with phoenix grass that we are going to!" If we want to get around the desert without any danger, we have to go back to the starting point, and then continue to march in the direction of the steppe, but then we don't know how many unjust roads we have to take, and how far we have to detour, it is also unknown!"
"Then, the way now is to bypass the desert!" Although Jiang Li didn't know, he had already taken out the map, studied it carefully, and found that if he walked out of the desert, it would be one-tenth of all the trips around the circle. In order to determine whether his idea was correct, Jiang Li asked: "That means that if we cross through the desert, we can save at least nine-tenths of the time?"
The spirit monkey's eyes widened and said, "That's true, but I can't guarantee that we can cross the desert, that is, we can cross the desert smoothly without encountering any setbacks, and there are such situations, but it depends on our luck!"
"Danger is certain, since I came here to look for such a treasure, I have made all kinds of preparations, and I am always ready to fight against all difficulties, if I don't experience difficulties, what I get is generally not what I need!" Jiang Li seemed to have decided to take the road of the desert, and then saw him slowly put away the map in his hand, pointed to the front, and then said: "Go, rush forward!"
The spirit monkey was also quite energetic, I saw it jumping back and forth on those branches, and this time it was also very well-behaved, because it never ran out of the range that Jiang Li could see, and there would be no situation where Jiang Li could not find it again.
The monkey jumped on the branches, startled flocks of birds, and flew up on the branches, which looked like a very beautiful picture. Jiang Li stepped on the grass between the trees, walking happily.
Because the camphor forest has not been completely completed, they are still crossing the position of the camphor forest, but as they continue to go deeper, they will slowly find that the trees in the camphor forest are decreasing little by little, and on the way forward, even the grass is getting less and less. Slowly, some bare sand and dust ground appeared, and then there were fewer and fewer plants......
When you officially enter the desert area, you will feel that the rheumatism in the air will not flow, and the sun will be so strong that the earth will be roasted, and the whole world will be so irritable and enthusiastic.
The spirit monkey suddenly jumped onto Jiang Li's shoulder and said, "If we continue like this, we will die of thirst!"
Jiang Li hurriedly put the spirit monkey in his arms, which could reduce the damage of heat to it, but what he didn't expect was that the spirit monkey still jumped out of Jiang Li's arms in a jump, "It's almost hot inside, so I don't want to stay inside!"
"What should I do then?" Jiang Li looked at the spirit monkey who was about to die, but he was also a little distressed.
"Why don't we stay in your crystal ball?" The spirit monkey made such a request for the first time, and it seemed that it had been premeditated, because it could be seen that its expression was so rich, and there was no sleepiness just now.
"I'll go!" Jiang Li didn't expect the spirit monkey to say this, because if the energy of the medical Dao True Qi was exhausted like this, it would inevitably have a certain impact on his body, and in this desert, in the wilderness, he still had to use the Medical Dao True Qi to protect himself, how could he take it all just to escape the heat?
"Isn't it okay?" the spirit monkey stayed on Jiang Li's shoulder with some grievances.
"What do you think?" Jiang Li was obviously still a little angry, because he felt that crossing this desert should be something that could be done by human beings if they persisted, how could they have no ambition to move forward so quickly?
"I can't walk!" the spirit monkey sat on Jiang Li's shoulder, saying it as if it was actually walking.
"Then you stay here, or go back to the camphor forest, what a beautiful sea of flowers there, it's like heaven, don't you stay there in such a beautiful place, do you want to come out with me and suffer?" Jiang Li was obviously very angry.
"This ......" Spirit Monkey didn't dare to continue to look at Jiang Li, because he had already felt Jiang Li's anger.
"You think about it, I'll give you a minute!" Jiang Li suddenly stopped there, the sun at this time was the most poisonous time of the day, the hot sun roasted the earth, Jiang Li's skin was tanned, but the spirit monkey was far away from the ground, and did not suffer such a fiery invasion.
The spirit monkey suddenly came to his senses, and deliberately wanted Jiang Li to forget all these unpleasantness, so he hurriedly said: "Of course I want to accompany you into the desert, and I also have to cross the desert to the opposite prairie, I still have a friend on the grassland, I am saying, I am born with divine power, even if there is anything that is not my opponent's ......."
Unconsciously, the spirit monkey fell into a fanatical autistic environment again, and forgot about Jiang Li's existence. All kinds of bragging, this is a state, but it is not really an evasive behavior taken by the spirit monkey in order to avoid Jiang Li's questioning.
Because the weather is very hot and the water he carries is not very much, Jiang Li tried his best to use the Mochizuki step to speed up his speed, but because of a series of reasons such as hot weather, dryness, etc., Jiang Li's speed has not reached the limit he wants, and it is much slower than the speed of the previous Mochizuki step, of course, if compared with the previous humans, then it is much faster than the speed of humans crossing the desert.
In about half an hour, Jiang Li had already led the spirit monkey into the hinterland of the desert, where there was no need to say anything about grass and water, even a dry branch could not be found.
Jiang Li's speed slowly slowed down, and Mochizuki's steps stopped, because the terrain in front of him made him no longer able to take a good step and move forward quickly. At some point, they actually entered the hell of an ancient city in the desert, although there was no tall ancient castle here, but there were still traces of some exposed ancient city walls, so it looked like it gave people a more desolate and miserable feeling.
However, when you enter here, there is indeed another feeling, that is, under the broken city walls here, you can still feel a little cool breath, of course, there is no way to compare with the normal temperature, but when compared with the previous environment, there is some cool pleasure.
"What kind of place is this?" Jiang Li asked.
The spirit monkey also suddenly woke up, and the whole monkey's eyes widened, looking around, hoping to see some hidden things or treasures. Because the spirit monkey is also a little unfamiliar with this place, because it has not heard of it either.
"There is no place on the map!" Jiang Li had already confirmed that this was a place where there was no record, "I didn't expect that this place was really inhabited before, maybe in this desert, there was a former kingdom!"
Suddenly, the spirit monkey saw a sign on the city wall not far away, flashing a dazzling light, and then pointed to that place and shouted: "Brother, look, that place ......"
Suddenly, there was a very gloomy feeling coming, and then a dark cloud appeared in the sky above them, black and pressing, making people feel breathless, but it was not as hot as just now, but it felt that people had a very uncomfortable feeling, the kind of heat just now made the body feel uncomfortable, but now this environment has caused a shadow in the heart.
