Chapter 157, Yellow Sand Desert

The sea is full of water, and the desert is full of sand, and this is how many people feel when they see the desert for the first time. The kind of eternal and endless, undulating scene full of yellow sand fills the vision, this feeling is very shocking, and my heart seems to be hot all of a sudden, inexplicably excited.

However, after walking in such an environment for more than half an hour, the excitement will slowly subside, and it will be replaced by another mood, stuffy, dry and tired.

Desert refers to the sandy desert landscape, and the Yanhuang area is a desert landscape for a quarter. Generally, the desert is desolate and lifeless, and it is called "barren sand". Due to the arid climate in the desert, there is not much life. The desert area is mostly sandy beaches or sand dunes, and rocks under the sand are often found. The soil is thin and there are few plants. Some deserts are salt flats and completely devoid of vegetation. Deserts are generally aeolian landforms. There are sometimes valuable mineral deposits in the desert, and many spiritual stone deposits have been discovered in the past hundred years, but unfortunately the amount is not large, and they are quickly collected. The desert has a dry climate, and it is also a pleasant place for players to live, with lots of ancient ruins and items to be found.

The average annual temperature difference is generally more than 40 degrees Celsius, the absolute temperature difference is often above 60 degrees, and the daily temperature difference is extremely significant, with the near-surface temperature reaching 70 to 90 degrees Celsius in the afternoon of summer and autumn, and dropping below 20 degrees Celsius at night. In desert areas, there are often clear skies and blazing flames one moment, and the next moment a sudden strong wind, the wind is strong, and the maximum wind force can reach the level of a hurricane.

Overall, the desert is a scary place. However, there is one animal that is more common in the desert, the camel, which is the most common means of transportation in the desert.

It's very windy in the desert, so when walking, it's best to cover your mouth with a towel or something to keep out the dust. Qin Zhou naturally learned something, at this time the towels were all soaked, and after walking for more than an hour, Qin Zhou felt that he had already shed a few catties of sweat, and his throat was very dry, like a fire.

The sun above his head had already risen, and the temperature was very high, Qin Xuan was not sure how many degrees there was now, but he knew that according to the angle of the sun, it was definitely not the highest. I drank water all the way, but as if it was useless to drink too much water, it turned into sweat in the blink of an eye.

"Well, I should have bought a camel, carelessly. Qin Xuan sighed and continued to stride forward, leaving two lines of footprints.

The sun slowly moved overhead, the temperature was getting higher and higher, Qin Xuan shook the sweat on his head, looked back, and found that he had only walked less than twenty miles, and the depths of this damn desert must be hundreds of kilometers. Fortunately, my brother has a lot of space and a lot of water, otherwise he would really have to go home.

The desert says that life is scarce, but in fact there are quite a few. At least, Qin Zhou has encountered a lot along the way, the first kind of life he saw was a scorpion, and it was white, not much bigger than his thumb, but it was very fierce, blocking his way, staring at a pair of bulging eyes, the tail was very high, and the sharp tail needle was shining, and finally he was flattened by one foot.

There is also an unknown gecko, not big, quite thin, a little gray in color, often make some interesting movements, such as standing with symmetrical two feet when it stops moving, the other two feet are retracted, standing on the sand for only two seconds, immediately change to the other two feet to stand, after two seconds, change again, between a shrink and a out, the speed is very fast, making it look as if it has not moved, as long as it stops, it has been maintaining this posture of changing feet, and the two eye bones are turning slowly, very cute.

In the desert, there are also a lot of snakes, all kinds of them, swimming on the sand surface in an S-shaped attitude, the speed is very fast, like a drift, and they slide out dozens of meters away at once, and then disappear.

In addition, there are some unknown creatures, not very big and very timid, and as soon as they hear footsteps, they immediately burrow into the sand and disappear.

At this time, a pleasant camel bell came from behind him, Qin Zhou stopped and turned around, it was a passenger riding in a hurry, his face was covered with a black scarf, he couldn't see his face clearly, his body was relatively thin, but it was definitely a man. He was overjoyed and shouted, "Hi, hello friend, where are you going, can you give me a ride?"

It was the first time he had seen a camel so closely, with brownish-gray fur and a little yellowish, a cow's nose, a neck longer than a horse, and a body still like a cow, but with two more peaks on its back. The whole body is very large, but because of the special structure of the paws of the feet, it is enough to support its heavy weight, and after walking through it, it leaves not deep traces, similar to what the player has walked on.

There was only one person sitting on the camel, with a little cargo hanging on it, Qin Zhou felt that this would be a kind person, so he took the initiative to run over, shouting as he ran.

Who knows, when the man saw Qin Xuan coming, he didn't look at it, his legs were clamped, and he urged the camel to run. Qin Xuan was a little dumbfounded, he still refused to give up, chased the camel, and shouted: "I will pay, I have money, I will give you a lot of money, rest assured, I am not a bad person." ”

Don't look at the camel's huge body and bulky appearance, if it really runs, it is very fast, in the desert, ordinary horses run over them. All of a sudden, the man turned into a black dot, and his footprints turned into a black line, stretching into the distance.

"Didn't you say that the inhabitants of the desert are friendly and helpful, could it be that a tourist?" Qin Xuan stopped suddenly, gasping for air, very disappointed and a little puzzled.

The temperature was even higher, and the sand was roasted as if it had just been taken out of the fire, and the air became a large steamer. If it was only the temperature from above that was high before, now the temperature is coming from all directions, and even the wind blowing is hot.

If you are fat, walking in the desert for an hour or two every day, the weight loss effect should be very significant, but Qin Zhou is not fat, and he is not in this mood. In the past, watching other people's saunas felt like a very high-end thing, but now I feel that I am suffering.

"Forget it, let's hurry up, and experience life ends here. Qin Xuan really couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly transported the mental method of the "Yijin Sutra", and a trace of breath started from the dantian and spread to all the veins throughout the body, endlessly. Immediately, a cool feeling came from the inside, the questions came down all of a sudden, and the sweat no longer came out, and the refreshing feeling was more enjoyable than drinking a big bowl of chilled sour plum soup on a hot day.

"Martial arts, it's really magical. Qin Xuan admired, the environment is still this environment, but the feeling is completely different. Yan Huang inherited the ancient martial arts, just to fight against the environment and become a world of its own. For martial arts, Qin Xuan's understanding is still very shallow, but whether it is good or not, it can still be judged.

When I gathered my eyes, I saw the world immediately and clearly, unlike before, when the heat distorted the air, and the world was blurry. This clear feeling made Qin Xuan feel uplifted and his spirit was much better. Running the light skill of 'stepping on the snow without a trace', it turned into a shadow and shot out towards the depths of the desert, the speed was more than twice as fast as the camel, and behind him, only a faint footprint was left, and the wind and sand blew and disappeared immediately.

There are very few players in the desert, and they are not as friendly as the legend, and after seeing the living people, their first reaction is not to approach, but to keep their distance, urging the camel to leave quickly.

When the sun came to the highest position in the sky, he looked around, and the vast desert seemed to be dead, not the slightest green could be seen, not a single player could be seen, no monsters could be seen, as if at this moment, this desert had been forgotten, and all that was left was yellow sand, countless yellow sand.

Qin Xuan didn't know that experienced players would avoid traveling at this time, the temperature was too high, and no one could stand it. And the animals in the desert are not to mention, they have already found a place to escape the heat and hide deeply, unless they are fatally disturbed, otherwise, they will never come out, and some animals, if you even knock it with that stick, it will not come out. Only the native inhabitants of the desert know best the horror of the desert.

After running for more than ten minutes, Qin Xuan had to stop, facing a helpless fact, he was lost. He didn't have a strong sense of direction, but in the face of thousands of sand dunes that looked the same, and those sand dunes were still constantly changing, he was already a little dizzy, just walking by feeling, but after going deep into the desert for dozens of miles, the environment before and after became the same, and at that time, the feeling was chaotic. It seems that every direction leads to the depths of the desert, and it seems that every direction is wrong.

Qin Xuan was a little stunned. This is not like the exam in the school, the exam does multiple-choice questions with up to four options, either A or BCD, the success rate is as high as 25%, the current situation is obviously different, there are infinite possibilities, as long as you take a wrong step, it will deviate 108,000 miles, and a hundred sons can't go out, and it's not impossible.

With strength, it is better to rely on experience, it is better to rely on experience than on a map, and it is better to rely on a map than to rely on a guide, this is a profound lesson that has been spread in the desert, but unfortunately, Qin Zhou has not heard it.

Suddenly, Qin Xuan's eyes flashed, his upper body leaned back slightly, his right hand lightning attacked, and made a shaking in the air, which was extremely exquisite, and successfully interfered with the attacker's target, and then turned his palm into a claw, quickly poked out, and successfully grabbed the seven inches of the poisonous snake that suddenly attacked him, and jerked it on the ground, and a slight crackling sound of bones shattering sounded, and the snake immediately became soft, and when he let go, he had lost his life.

This is a very common poisonous snake in the desert, Huangkui snake, as the name suggests, the color is yellow, the same as sand, lying in the gravel is extremely difficult to find, always in the enemy when the enemy is not expecting a fatal blow, many players who come to the desert to pan for gold, are dead under the mouth of the Huangkui snake, their body can only reach one and a half meters at most, most of them are between 80cm-100cm, not big, but the poison is violent, if the player is accidentally bitten, two or three seconds will die. Many people, even with the antidote pill, die because they don't have time to take it.

Along the way, it was the third time that Qin Zhou had been attacked by the Huang Kui snake, but fortunately, he finally learned the 'little grappling hand', otherwise, there would have been a few more tooth marks on his body.

A burst of yellow sand rose from afar, from far to near, like a yellow dragon, rolling forward.

Qin Xuan stared at it, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it's a player, okay, finally you don't have to get lost. Five people, three camels, very fast, when they saw it, they were still hundreds of meters away, and they were in front of them all at once. After seeing the faces of the people who came clearly, Qin Zhou felt that something might happen.

The first one, one-eyed scumbag, black robe, and a terrifying big axe on his back, at a glance, knew that he was not a good person, it was him, one person riding a camel, and the two behind him rode two people in one. The eyes sparkled fiercely, although he smiled, but with a fierce spirit.

"Hey, boy, where did you come from, where are you going?" The one-eyed dragon's camel stopped in front of Qin Xuan and asked from a high position, his voice was so loud that it made people's ears tingle.

"Call where you came from, go where you need to go. Qin Xuan said calmly, not seeing a little fear.

"Hey, the kid is a little timid, yes, uncle likes it. The one-eyed dragon laughed, and the four people behind him also laughed, but the eyes were full of banter and cruelty, and the one-eyed dragon smiled and shouted coldly: "Leave the money of the body, spare you from death, otherwise, this yellow sand land will have one more corpse and bones for you."

"I don't have any money. Qin Xuan opened a pair of innocent big eyes and said aggrievedly.

In a flash of light, the big axe had already appeared in his hand, and the blade of the sharp and cold axe slashed towards Qin Xuan's neck, and the one-eyed dragon smiled and said, "Boy, remember, when you go to Huangquan Hell, the person who said that you killed you is my one-eyed dragon uncle." ”

The axe flashed, there was no blood, no screams, nothing, Qin Xuan was still standing in the original place and did not move, only listened to him: "Oh, it turned out to be a one-eyed dragon, your name is very famous." ”

"Let's go together. The surprise in the one-eyed dragon's eyes flickered, followed by madness, and another axe slashed, this time with all his might, and the big black axe was like a bolt of lightning.

At the same time, two of the four people behind him immediately jumped off the camel, and the moment one of them landed, the person disappeared, and the other two people on the camel began to chant incantations.

Qin Xuan's figure flickered, he had already avoided the one-eyed dragon's big axe, and after a flicker, he magically arrived on the camel, and the two 'Taiyi Divine Thunder' were gently placed on the two people who were about to complete the spell, and then like a black shadow, they suddenly appeared in front of the player who jumped off the camel. Two explosions were heard behind him, and the most threatening mage was killed.

Qin Xuan grinned, but unfortunately the towel covered his face, and he couldn't see the snow-white teeth, and his palm had already been imprinted on this person's body, and the golden light flashed away, leaving a deep handprint. Qin Xuan retreated as soon as he struck, and when the 'Sun God Thunder' in his hand was thrown out, the person had already returned to his original place.

There was an explosion out of the void, and the assassin was squeezed out of the air, and his head was gone, leaving the one-eyed dragon alone.

The one-eyed dragon missed a blow, and was about to attack again, but found that his eyes were sparkling, and the enemy was gone, and in the blink of an eye, the man had returned, but the four brothers were already dead, and a chill came to his heart, which was terrible, and he immediately knew that he had kicked the iron plate, and slammed his leg on the camel, and ran for his life.

"Look at your camel fast, or my attack is fast?" Qin Xuan said lazily, a flickering thunderball spinning in his hand.

The one-eyed dragon pulled the rope violently, restraining the camel from making any move.

"Take me to the depths of the desert, and when you arrive, you will be spared, and you will either surrender or die. "Qin Xuan bit very the word death.

After thinking for three seconds, the one-eyed dragon lowered its raised head.
