Chapter 423: A Pleasant Desert Journey
Putting a piece of ice the size of a watermelon on the back of one of the two women, the two women did not feel heavy at all, but were a little energetic, and the three of them went on the trip again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Making ice cubes in the desert empty-handed, the two women will naturally ask about the root of the problem, but this matter can't be explained at all in a word, and even if they don't explain it soon, the two women will know it clearly, so Liu Tianyu is now simply vague and perfunctory.
Liu Tianyu's perfunctory words made the two girls misunderstand this matter, Liu Tianyu had something difficult to say, and it was not easy to say, so the sensible two women stopped and did not continue to ask.
The three of them walked forward for another distance, and Liu Tianyu made a rough estimate. From yesterday to now, they have walked a distance of more than 60 kilometers, from the origin to the location of the treasure shown on the parchment, there are probably more than 200 kilometers in total, less than 300 kilometers, Liu Tianyu had made a simple plan route against the map before coming, and there was a small oasis in this route that seemed to be not very far away from them.
It's just that although he knows that the oasis is not far from them, Liu Tianyu really doesn't know how far the oasis is from them, but according to the distance they walked, it shouldn't be too far now, and at this speed, they can reach it tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
Once they arrive at the oasis, this means that their treasure hunt trip is half completed, and finding the oasis also means that other aspects will be improved, especially in terms of food, according to Liu Tianyu's previous plan, the food and water sources needed in the middle of this trip must be obtained by themselves in nature, but Liu Tianyu carried a lot of drinking water and food before coming in order to make the two girls suffer less, but even if a lot of drinking water and food were specially prepared, how much can a backpack hold? At most, it will only be two or three days, and after two or three days, the drinking water and food will be consumed, so if Liu Tianyu doesn't want to cheat in the future, and thinks about acting according to the previous plan, then he must find that oasis before the drinking water and food are consumed.
Just when Liu Tianyu was pondering how far that oasis was from him and the others, and estimated how long it would take to arrive, time passed minute by minute, and it was now close to noon.
The desert under the scorching sun has become a steamer again. The sand on the ground, constantly emitting heat.
"Stop, we need to take a break. Feeling that the temperature was getting higher and higher, it happened that the current location was a depression under a sand dune, which was almost the same as the shade yesterday when they rested at noon, and Liu Tianyu stopped at that moment.
"Huh~~~!I can actually hold on for a while. Carrying the ice cube behind him, the slightest coolness from the back makes Zhang Danying look much happier now than yesterday, yesterday in this case Zhang Danying wilted like a frosted eggplant, and couldn't wait to stop immediately after hearing Liu Tianyu say to rest, but now Liu Tianyu said to rest, Zhang Danying actually said that he could still persevere, which has to say that the credit of the ice cube is great.
"Even if you can hold on, we're going to rest. Ignoring Zhang Danying's request, Liu Tianyu threw down his backpack and then took out a sapper shovel and quickly dug out a sand pit.
Although she was clamoring to persevere, after seeing Liu Tianyu digging out the sand pit, Zhang Danying couldn't wait to lie down in the sand pit with her backpack that was now wet because the ice had melted.
"The bag is already wet, take it out. Seeing Zhang Danying lying in the sand pit with her wet backpack in her arms, Liu Tianyu couldn't help but remind.
"No, it's a little chilly in the bunker, but it's not as cool as a backpack. Zhang Danying shook her head and refused.
"Take it out, it's easy to get sick when you rest with something wet. At this time, Zhou Ruolan also opened her mouth to persuade her.
"But it's really hot without the backpack, and the ice is about to melt, so I'm going to take it when it's all melted. Zhou Ruolan's advice didn't have much effect.
"You don't have to guard that bit of ice, I'll make a wall of ice around the bunker when I'm done, and then you won't feel hot. In desperation, Liu Tianyu had no choice but to give Zhang Danying a guarantee.
"Really, can you really do it?" However, Liu Tianyu's assurance was questioned.
In other words, Zhang Danying's doubts are not unreasonable, she doesn't know Liu Tianyu's means of manipulating ice, she thinks that Liu Tianyu can make ice cubes the size of watermelons is already the limit, after all, making ice cubes the size of watermelons and building an ice wall are two different things.
"Yes, so, now throw out the wet bag. ”
"Okay. After getting Liu Tianyu's assurance again, Zhang Danying finally reluctantly threw her backpack outside the sand pit.
Watching Zhang Danying throw the backpack out of the sand pit, Liu Tianyu took out food and water from the backpack and shared it among the three of them.
After eating and drinking, at the urging of Zhang Danying, Liu Tianyu unleashed the Demon Essence to build a thick ice wall along the surroundings of the sand pit.
"Wow~~!It's amazing, I feel cool now. Looking at the ice wall that suddenly appeared, Zhang Danying began to shout excitedly, but because they had asked Liu Tianyu why he was able to make solid ice before, but Liu Tianyu's perfunctory past caused them to misunderstand Liu Tianyu's meaning, so now she was amazed again and again, but she still didn't ask Liu Tianyu why he could do this kind of thing.
"This is a psychological effect, even if there is a wall of ice around you, but the temperature will not drop for a while. ”
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, you build an ice house, I feel that we will be more comfortable that way. After groping for a long time against the ice wall, Zhang Danying came to Liu Tianyu again.
"Building a house here? Are you thinking of swimming in the middle of your sleep? Without agreeing to Zhang Danying's request, Liu Tianyu rolled his eyes and replied to her.
At the current temperature, although the ice wall is thick, it won't take long for it to turn into a pool of clear water and build an ice house to live in, this is just a joke, although Liu Tianyu can now manipulate the hardness of the ice he makes, even if he can make the ice cubes he makes harder than steel, but he can't violate some rules, no matter how hard the ice cubes are, they will melt, this is the rule.
"Okay, okay, I know, I'm going to get some sleep before the ice wall melts. After hearing Liu Tianyu's words, Zhang Danying also felt that she was a little whimsical, and she didn't continue to make ice houses noisily at the moment, so she turned around and lay in the sand pit and closed her eyes.
Seeing Zhang Danying resting honestly, Liu Tianyu and Zhou Ruolan glanced at each other and then lay down and closed their eyes.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
When Liu Tianyu and the three woke up again, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, the ice wall outside the sand pit had already melted, and the melted water had already evaporated.
Sitting up from the sand pit, Liu Tianyu stretched his waist, because of the construction of the ice wall, even if the ice wall was finally melted down, but he slept very comfortably this night, and the same was true for the two girls.
Pack up and start the trip again, because a good sleep makes the three of them full of energy at this time, and the pace of the three of them is also very brisk.
After another hour or so, the sun was setting in the west, and it was close to five o'clock in the evening.
As the three of them walked, Zhang Danying suddenly stopped, then stretched out her hand and pointed ahead and shouted: "Look, camel, it's a camel!"
After shouting, Zhang Danying ran towards the camel.
Basically, there were no living creatures along the way, and now that she finally saw a camel, Zhang Danying was excited.
"Wait, come back to me. Seeing Zhang Danying rashly running towards the camel, Liu Tianyu caught up with Zhang Danying in three steps and two steps, and then dragged her back.
"What's the matter, the camel is not dangerous, why are you holding me. Zhang Danying, who was picked up by Liu Tianyu and slipped back, was dissatisfied.
"What's the hurry, do you have a situation and run around. Hearing that Zhang Danying was still complaining to herself, Liu Tianyu glared at her and scolded her.
"You still need to figure out what, it's a camel, it's not a lion or a tiger, what are you afraid of. Zhang Danying is still vibrant.
"I know it's a camel, and I know it won't attack you, but have you ever thought about why it is lying there motionless?" Speaking of which, Zhang Danying is indeed right, the camel is a very gentle animal, and it is very loyal to humans, even if it is a wild camel, it will not attack people, but now the camel is lying motionless in the distance, this strange situation has attracted Liu Tianyu's attention, Liu Tianyu is very suspicious that the camel has fallen into the quicksand, so he has to lie in place and do not move.
"Why? Do you know?" Liu Tianyu's words finally made Zhang Danying pay attention to the strange situation of camels.
"I'm not sure yet, I just suspect that the camel is stuck in quicksand. "If it's just him, even if he falls into the quicksand, he has a 10,000% chance of being able to get out of the quicksand, but the two women can't, if the two women fall into the quicksand, then they have only one fate, 100% are completely swept up in the quicksand, even if Liu Tianyu rescues in time, the two women will inevitably suffer a lot, Liu Tianyu is reluctant to let his women suffer, so he admonished the two women.
"Quicksand? Do camels sink into quicksand? Aren't camels walking on the ground in the desert?"
"Camels are like walking on flat ground in the desert, but because of their large feet, they are very suitable for walking on soft sand. But when it comes to quicksand, the camel will still get stuck in it. It's just that the body of the camel is relatively wide, which increases the contact area with the quicksand, so it is not completely engulfed, but the position above the legs is exposed. But even so, once the camel gets stuck in the quicksand, unless there is an external force, it cannot escape from the quicksand on its own, so the camel will inevitably fall into the quicksand, and we are even more so, so you must not leave my arm for a while, you know? ”
"Yes, I see. Although the two girls had never seen quicksand, they also knew the horror of quicksand, and nodded in unison at the moment.
"Let's go. Seeing the two girls nodding, Liu Tianyu took the two girls and walked slowly towards the camel cautiously.
The three of them approached cautiously, and every step needed to be tested, Zhang Danying felt that Liu Tianyu was too cautious, and pouted and complained at the moment.
Liu Tianyu had to patiently explain: "Below the quicksand is the constantly flowing sand, and when you step into the quicksand, you will be dragged into the quicksand in an instant. A scientist once conducted an experiment that showed that it would take 100,000 Newtons of force to pull a person out of quicksand. You may not understand this, but in other words, it takes about the same amount of force to pull a person out of quicksand as you would to lift a medium-sized car! ”
"Xiao Ying, Xiao Yu naturally has his reasons for doing this, and he is not allowed to be petty. After Liu Tianyu explained why they were so cautious as if they were walking in a minefield, Zhou Ruolan looked at Zhang Danying who was still about to refute, and immediately reprimanded Zhang Danying.
"Oh, I see. Although Zhang Danying usually dares to play with Liu Tianyu and Zhou Ruolan, she doesn't dare to Zhou Ruolan under certain circumstances, and now this time belongs to a certain situation, so even if she wants to complain a few more words, Zhou Ruolan opened her mouth and made her have to keep her mouth shut.
Moved forward step by step, and finally got a little closer to the camel, at this time Liu Tianyu found that the camel's limbs were curled up on the ground, and did not fall into the quicksand as he imagined, seeing this scene, Liu Tianyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and told the two women that he had made a mistake in judgment, and the camel was not stuck in the quicksand, and then walked towards the camel quickly.
Hearing Liu Tianyu say that the danger was lifted, the tense nerves of the two women were completely loosened, and they followed Liu Tianyu and walked towards the camel.
Coming to the camel, Liu Tianyu carefully looked at the camel in front of him, this camel has brown hair all over its body, even if it is crouching on the sand, it is still half a person tall. As if hearing footsteps, the camel slowly raised its head, turned to look at Liu Tianyu and the others, and then continued to pull its head on the sand.
"What's wrong with it? It's like there's nothing to love. Seeing the camel like this, let alone Liu Tianyu, even Zhang Danying and Zhou Ruolan were very strange.
"I don't know. Liu Tianyu is not a jack of all trades, he really doesn't understand what is going on with the camel in front of him, hearing Zhang Danying's inquiry, he shook his head and continued to observe, trying to find out the reason for the camel's abnormality.
