Chapter 549: Into the Desert of Death
"How about making a thunderbolt meal for everyone?" Zhang Xiaoqian said with some sarcasm.
"No, at least not now, I have to recover my mana, and I may need some special ingredients and thunder-attribute spirit stones and other things, okay, everyone should stop thinking about this matter, let's rest for a while, and when the morning dawns we will collect rainwater, and then start to move towards the Death Desert." Gao Xiaoleng cheered up and said.
The next day was sunny, and the wind stopped and the rain fell.
Gao Xiaoleng and the others immediately started to hurry, it is really rare to have such a windless, rainless, cold and hot weather, so if you don't hurry up in such a situation, it is simply looking for death.
With such good weather, everyone quickly walked out of the woods, followed by the slopes overgrown with weeds and shrubs, this is obviously the foot of the Three Tribulation Monument, and the third tribulation of the Three Tribulation Monument, that is, the Death Desert is not visible at this time, according to the location shown on the Sipa map, it should be a hundred kilometers away from the foot of this mountain, there is a big Gobi Desert from the Death Desert, there is almost no grass here, as for whether there is any danger, I don't know, anyway, everyone should pass here as soon as possible.
Gao Xiaoleng and others soon appeared on this big Gobi, they were used to the mountain road, and suddenly came to the plain, everyone was still very uncomfortable, but this walking on the plain is indeed much easier than the mountain road, but it is a little weird that there is no grass on this plain.
Gao Xiaoleng and the others each had a thick bamboo tube pinned to their waists, and here was the rain they received, because since they knew that they were going to the Death Desert and didn't bring any fresh water, it was also an act of death.
The Gobi Desert, which is more than 100 kilometers long, has not encountered any danger, because not only is there no grass here, but there are no other living creatures, perhaps Gao Xiaoleng and other six people are living creatures in this place, and I am afraid that it is also the only time that there are living creatures since ancient times.
Everyone's mood is very dull, because everyone knows that through this Gobi is the Great Desert, and this Great Desert also has a terrifying name, that is, the Desert of Death.
However, everyone also had some expectations, after all, at the end of that great desert was the legendary mysterious palace, and they all wanted to see that palace if they could make it through the desert of death alive.
As everyone walked, the weather became hotter and hotter, and there were two main reasons for this.
One reason is that it is close to the middle of the day, and it should have been very hot at noon, especially since there is a huge sun overhead, Gao Xiaoleng has never seen such a big sun.
Another reason is that it is close to the Death Desert, which also illustrates a very serious problem from the side, that is, the temperature of the Death Desert will be very high, and the Baili Gobi Desert here is probably related to this Death Desert.
Although they knew that this Death Desert was very terrifying, they still had to enter, because Gao Xiaoleng and they had no other choice, if they didn't enter the Death Desert, they would have to go back the same way, and if they could return to Wuwei Village, even if they could return to Wuwei Village, everyone would not be that interested.
Therefore, although this Death Desert is a place of nine deaths and a lifetime, it is also a place where everyone must go, unless they are going to live on the snowy mountain, otherwise they can only move forward.
In the middle of the day, Gao Xiaoleng and they came to the edge of the Death Desert, looking at the endless desert in front of them, Gao Xiaoleng stood for a long time.
"Brother Gao, why don't we hurry into the desert, after all, the edge of this desert is also very hot. Chen Xiang said very calmly.
"I wonder if we should avoid this midday time, because going into the desert at this time is simply suicidal. Gao Xiaoleng looked at the sun and said.
"But it's not good for us to stay on the edge of this desert, after all, there is not even a small tree or shrub here, so we might as well take the opportunity to hurry away in the sun at noon. Zhang Xiaoqian wiped a handful of sweat and said.
"I think it's the same, from now on we will be consumed with the Desert of Death, isn't it just a protracted war. Gao Xiao said coldly.
Gao Xiaoleng's sentence can be regarded as announcing that everyone has entered the Death Desert at this time, and entering the Death Desert at noon is considered an act of death.
Anyway, Gao Xiaoleng felt a wave of air coming, that kind of heat can definitely bake eggs, this is the temperature at the edge of the desert, if you enter the belly of the desert, then the temperature may directly steam people.
Gao Xiaoleng began to teach everyone the beating technique, which is a relatively extreme alchemy technique, which is just applicable in this harsh environment.
The scorching sun was in the sky, the white sand was rolling, and the body was wrapped in such a high temperature, if it weren't for Gao Xiaoleng's magical beating exercises, the six of them would have been unable to hold on.
Now Gao Xiaoleng and they feel heart-rending pain every time they take a step forward, but they have no choice, as long as they can hold on until dark, there is still hope.
Gao Xiaoleng and the others have never looked forward to the dark like today, but unfortunately the sun in the desert seems to be eternal, no matter how they insist on it, the sun seems to have no sign of anyone going west.
Gao Xiaoleng felt as if he had fallen into an illusion, but as long as the direction was good, he had to keep moving forward, Gao Xiaoleng and the others didn't remember how many steps they had taken, as if they had been walking in this desert since they were born.
No one speaks, because just open the mouth will breathe sand, the kind of sand that is everywhere that can fill any hole, including the mouth. So although they are very thirsty, they don't dare to open the bamboo tube, where the fresh water is already a kind of hope, and there is still hope if the fresh water is endless.
Each person has a bamboo tube of fresh water, and this desert trip does not know how many days to go, so the fresh water here is calculated according to the mouth, only drink a few sips when you are about to die of thirst, of course, it is best to drink water at night, this daytime open bamboo tube is afraid to volatilize it.
Gao Xiaoleng's sweat on their bodies was wet and dry, dry and wet, and their weight was gradually decreasing, Gao Xiaoleng felt that he had shrunk by at least half in the past half a day, if the sun hadn't gone down, they would definitely become mummies.
Fortunately, Gao Xiaoleng finally adapted to the weather here, and at dusk it was very beautiful, the yellow sand was particularly empty, and the dusk of the desert was also beautiful.
As a gust of wind blew, the sun disappeared and the temperature began to drop sharply, but it was still very hot.
