Chapter 490: Sea of Sand
The moment they were dragged into the lotus pond again, Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang figured out what the little wolf cub meant.
"It's fire!" Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu said almost in unison.
No longer hesitating, Lu Qingyang suddenly recited the mantra in his mouth, and a wisp of fire burned in the air.
The flame rushed towards the cyan rhizomes, and at once they ignited the rhizomes.
Because of the sudden heat, the blue rhizomes shrank back all at once, and all of them went to the pool to extinguish the fire.
The fire had been extinguished, and Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu had already run away.
Since being let go by those things, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu have been running with the little wolf cubs all the way, lest those cyan rhizomes catch them again.
Thankfully, I didn't find those cyan rhizomes to follow.
Taking a breath, the two of them took a short break and continued on their way.
Going up, it was still a winding mountain road, but it was colder than before.
This is also normal, after all, it is too cold to be in high places.
But the two of them didn't wear thick clothes, so they often deliberately walked in those places where some slight sunlight spilled through the gaps in the leaves.
Despite this, the two of them still felt cold, so they had to speed up their pace, speed up the blood circulation in their bodies, and produce more heat.
Compared to these two people, the little wolf cub is very comfortable, because it was born and lived in a cold area, and it was covered with thick hair, which was not a problem for it, or the temperature was just right for it.
Therefore, the two of them always take turns holding the little wolf cub to keep warm, and I have to say that this method is actually quite good.
Soon after, we reached the top of the mountain.
It was still not dark, but the two men knew that they had already passed a day from the bottom of the mountain to the top. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at the mountain, everything below the mountain is as small as ants.
But the two men found that this side was not quite the same as the one they had already walked before.
On the side they had walked before, the two of them looked behind them, and they were all thick green.
And the side they are about to go on is completely different from the previous one.
Looking down, the small noodles were yellow.
Although Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu couldn't see what it was, they immediately understood what it was.
"Over there...... Desert!" Meng Shu's face was unusually solemn.
yes, that's the desert. Lu Qingyang looked at the yellow under the mountain, and his face was still calm.
It's a desert, but what's the solution?
"Let's go down the mountain!" Meng Shu turned his head to look at Lu Qingyang, looking at him with an indifferent but determined look.
The scenery below the mountain on both sides is different, and the road down the mountain here is also different from the previous road up the mountain.
There are all kinds of fruit trees on the mountain here, all of which can be seen in the world, some of them bloom, some of them bear fruit, in short, the most important thing is that they can be eaten.
This matter can be regarded as a comfort to Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang!
There is an old saying in the world that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
The first reaction of the two people was naturally to pick some as rations.
Because these fruits contain water, two people don't need to think about drinking water anymore.
There is still some black bear meat left, because of the exposure all the way, now it has all become fleshy, so the two of them don't have to worry about rotting, so they plan to keep it first, and wait until the day when they eat fruit and eat disgusting, they will have some black bear meat to relieve it, which will be regarded as their life-saving rations!
Later, while walking, the two of them found that there were not only many fruit trees here, but also some rabbits.
On the way down the mountain at will, the eyes of the two people lit up when they saw the rabbit, of course, more often it was not them who caught the rabbit, but the little wolf cub who caught the rabbit.
The two of them don't know if it's because the little wolf cub has suffered too much and eaten too much black bear meat with them along the way, or if there is no rabbit in the place where it used to live, it is always very excited and positive when it finds a rabbit, and every time it is caught with his hand, it has never missed.
Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang sometimes just stood there as a bystander, just standing there with an elegant posture, laughing and waiting for the little wolf cub to return from hunting.
The little wolf cub didn't feel hard, and every time it was full of vitality, which made Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang feel extremely relieved, and even moved to cry.
They suddenly felt that it was a very good decision to let the little wolf cub follow them, otherwise, the journey would be less fun, and there would be less one who likes to run errands for them and never complains.
If there is a wolf like this, what more can the Lord ask for?
I can only say, thank God!
The fire has risen, and the little wolf cub has returned with a full load, put down the little rabbit, it cheered around Mengshu to praise, and after Mengshu was recognized, he ran to Lu Qingyang's side to ask him to praise, Lu Qingyang was not stingy, rubbing its head vigorously, and the little wolf cub liked it very much.
There is a kind of wild fruit jam on the mountain that is very sweet, and when there is no honey, you can use it instead, and Mengshu picks a lot, and while roasting rabbit meat, she spreads this jam on it, and when it is finally roasted, the little wolf cub smells the fragrance and is about to jump crazy.
Meng Shu roasted three, one for him and Lu Qingyang, and the remaining one for the little wolf cub.
Before, the little wolf cub didn't eat much cooked meat, and Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang were also afraid that it would lose its wolf nature, so they didn't indulge it in eating cooked meat on weekdays, but today, Meng Shu felt that it must not be able to restrain this delicacy, so he planned to roast it at the beginning.
Before the meat reached the little wolf cub's mouth, the little wolf cub was already drooling greedily, Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang couldn't help but laugh when they saw it, and the little wolf cub seemed to find that his current appearance was very funny, because he was embarrassed to rub against Lu Qingyang's body.
In the end, when Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang saw the appearance of the little wolf cub, they couldn't bear to be greedy for it, so they directly gave it to it to eat.
As soon as the meat was given to the little wolf cub, half of it was immediately wiped out, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu looked at the little wolf cub's eating appearance stupidly, and suddenly felt that the little wolf cub's appetite was not ordinarily good.
Walking down, the two men collected food while hurrying.
They don't worry about not being able to carry their backs, they are afraid that they will never find such opportunities on the road again.
So when there is an opportunity, they will not let it go.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, a puff of sand and dust blew towards them, and the wind carried the sand and blew unceremoniously into their mouths.
The two of them looked at the thousands of miles of yellow sand in front of them, sighed helplessly, and then spit sand towards the side.
The little wolf cub hid in Lu Qingyang's arms to avoid this catastrophe.
On the way down they made a raft again, and now it was a sea of sand, so it seemed better to use a raft here than on the steppe than before.
The raft was filled with all kinds of fruits picked on the mountain, including the lotus pod, which had almost lost his life because of it, and the two of them were not willing to throw it away.
On such a raft, there was a lot of food, which made Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu feel very confident, and they didn't have to worry about anything.
Of course, the danger and everything are unpredictable, but with food, they have the confidence to do everything.
Now they suddenly think that food is really a good thing, and sometimes it can be your biggest pillar.
In other words, in the world, there are many people who have lived in this life, and such hard work is actually just for that bite of food!
In short, now that they have enough food, they are really not afraid of the sky falling.
In the first half of the day, they walked and felt okay, because the trees on the mountain were luxuriant, almost blocking all the sunlight, so the two of them were really full of yin energy, and now they finally arrived at the bottom of the mountain, to a place where there was sunshine, and the feeling of being dyed by the golden sunlight could not be described in words.
And in the second half of the day, the two of them obviously felt the change.
It's not that the sky is going to change, it's that the wind is changing.
The wind started to get stronger.
At first, there was only an occasional gust of wind blowing, then it began to be frequent, and then later, it was already settled.
Has anyone ever experienced the feeling of the yellow sand and the wind raging?
Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang are now experiencing it.
The feeling that people who can't open their eyes and can't breathe in the wind and sand is really uncomfortable, but the two of them still have no choice but to continue to move forward.
The wind had only just appeared, and it wasn't particularly strong, so it wasn't a tornado, so it had to last for a while, so it was obviously not a good decision for them to stay here and wait for the wind to stop, because they didn't know how long it would take to stop.
Judging by the magnitude of the wind, they could hardly predict when the wind would stop, so they might as well continue to hurry according to their previous plan, after all, the wind was not strong enough for them to walk an inch, and it would not blow over their rafts, so if they continued to walk, maybe they could escape from here as soon as possible.
The two of them took the little wolf cub and walked forward against the wind.
Sure enough, it was about the same as they expected, the wind was very strange, so after walking for two days, they finally entered a sandy area without strong winds, but the strange thing is that it seems to be very solemn here, although the desert is no different, but here, it obviously gives people a gloomy and desolate feeling, although there are still two rounds of so hot sun in the sky shining on this huge sand sea, but there is still a bad feeling permeating the heart.
When you feel that something is wrong, then there must be something wrong, although you can't find it now, but you must not ignore it, you must be patient to find out what is wrong.
These are the words that Mengshu's father told him from an early age.
Later, in the process of countless practices, this sentence has been well verified.
So from the beginning, Meng Shu did not relax and slacken, he always secretly paid attention to the movements around him, believing that there must be something wrong.
He waited, waited for the thing that was supposed to appear.
After determining the woman's position again, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu walked in that direction.
They are every day they go, or even half a day, to determine the woman's location again, because the woman is likely to change places, after all, her mana is also profound, and flying against the wind is naturally not a problem, as long as she wants to go anywhere, as long as she can reach it in an instant, so in order to prevent them from emptying the bamboo basket, they will often determine the woman's location.
But strange to say, this woman has always been in that place, and her position has always been so looming, as if she has been imprisoned by some spell.
But now the two of them don't have the heart to think about that, the most important thing for them is to find him, after all, even if she is imprisoned, she is a hundred times stronger than them.
That's what the poet said, hugging the thighs is to hug the thickest.
Meng Shu and Lu Qingyang have always liked to follow the advice of their predecessors, so that they can avoid detours.
After walking for a short time, some white bones began to appear on the road.
The two men looked carefully at the white bones and found that they were some animals, some rabbits, and some sheep.
This discovery surprised both of them, after all, in this vast desert, why did these animals appear in the desert at all?
Could it be that these things are all little demons with some small mana?
But what are they doing in the desert for no reason?
Could it be that there is some treasure in this desert that few people know?
But there is nothing unique about it, except for the eerie feeling that pervades the place.
Walking forward, Lu Qingyang and Meng Shu saw some dog carcasses and some cow carcasses one after another.
How could there be so many corpses in this place that shouldn't have appeared?
Aren't there many camels in the desert? And now they haven't seen a single camel, but they've seen so many corpses that shouldn't be there.
What are the hidden clues?
After examining the bones, the two men did not find any signs of poisoning on them, but they found a suspicious place, that is, the legs of those animals have some obvious traces of breakage, some things are completely broken, some are broken, but the traces of the break are very obvious.
Of course, this can be explained by the fact that there may have been wind and sand here before, and the white bones were blown into the sky and then fallen, and it was inevitable that they would break, but except for the legs, the other parts of these white bones were in good condition, and there was not even a trace of weathering, which showed that there was something intentional about those injuries, even when they were still alive.
But now they had seen nothing but the bones, so they had no choice but to keep going!
Looking far behind them, they could see that the place they had passed before was still covered with wind and sand.
