Chapter 244: Red Desert
Sean couldn't hold out even a minute in the Red Desert, and when they heard Lin Su's words, they naturally followed the good and immediately withdrew from the range of the Red Desert. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Leaving that fiery hell, Sean and the others still have lingering palpitations.
"Is this the Red Desert, what a terrible place."
"At that moment, I thought I was going to be mummified."
"Will we really be able to get through a place like this?"
The three of them had their own thoughts, but none of them showed it.
"It's still early in the dark, so let's take a break in the shade." Lin Su knew that the three of them were frightened, and took the initiative to speak out to appease them.
He built an ice dome three meters below the sand, which could easily escape the desert heat. After traveling together for so long, it was the first time that Lin Su had shown such an ability.
Along the way, everyone had already gained immunity to the abilities Lin Su had shown, and at this time, when they saw the sudden appearance of the Ice Dome, they didn't delve into it, and quickly hid inside.
Hydrated heavily in the shade of the ground, Sean's chapped skin finally returned to normal.
"Brother Lin, are you sure you can find the food pyramid? If you get lost in the red desert, it's no joke. Sean said worriedly, "The sand in the desert contains a lot of iron, and the magnetic field is chaotic, so navigation equipment is useless here." ”
Lin Su knew what he was worried about, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, that place is not difficult to find." I can bring you here, and I can bring you back safely. ”
Now, others can only trust Lin Su and follow him down the road.
As the sun slowly sets, the temperature of the red desert begins to decrease rapidly, and when the air temperature drops from 80 degrees Celsius to 20 degrees Celsius at noon, the red desert changes dramatically.
When they entered the desert before, Sean and the others faintly saw a huge labyrinth in the desert, the huge labyrinth was made of criss-crossing bridges, and they didn't know where it extended. However, when I looked at the red desert in the evening, the labyrinth had disappeared without a trace.
"What's going on, it's been turned upside down in half a day, is this still the red desert we saw before?" Justin rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"This is the real red desert, and what you see in the morning is actually the most dangerous dessert maze in the desert." A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Su's mouth, "During the day, the red desert is covered by a vast mirage, and what you see is just an illusion. ”
A mirage is an illusion formed due to temperature differences in the atmosphere, refraction and total reflection of light. The overwhelming temperature difference of the red desert and the large amount of impurities contained in the air provide excellent conditions for the emergence of a mirage.
The reason why Lin Su chose to rush at night was also to avoid the impact of the mirage on everyone.
"It's just the right temperature, let's go." Lin Su turned around and said.
Without the effects of the mirage and the heat, it's a lot easier. However, Sean and the others still did not let their guard down, and the faint smell of blood from the sand always reminded them that countless beasts were wandering in this desert.
Sean was right, less than two kilometers into the red desert when a group of hideous monsters came out from under the sand and blocked everyone's path.
The giant creatures more than ten meters tall pounced on Lin Su with their mouths open, and Lin Su casually spit out a few cold air bombs to freeze these fierce beasts with a capture level of about thirty. Lin Su didn't kill these creatures, he deliberately weakened the power of the cold air bomb, and he could only freeze them for a few hours.
"Be careful to follow behind me, and be careful not to step on the quicksand." Lin Su admonished.
The fierce beasts in the desert did not pose the slightest threat to Lin Su, what he was really worried about was the quicksand that did not know when and where it would appear.
The quicksand whirlpool creates a complex labyrinthine path beneath the red desert, and once swept into the quicksand, the chaotic path makes it impossible to distinguish the direction.
"Understood."
As they passed by the beasts that were sealed in ice, Justin looked at them curiously, and the momentum coming from the other party made them frightened. "When will I be able to capture such a beast?" Everyone asked in their hearts.
The sun soon sets below the horizon, and the red desert turns from scorching heat to bitter cold, which puts Sean and the others to a new test. Fortunately, when the temperature drops to about minus 5 degrees Celsius, it does not drop, and it can barely withstand such low temperatures by constantly walking.
As the temperature drops at night, the beasts that live in the red desert become extremely active, and a large number of beasts come to the surface in search of prey, but they are all turned into ice sculptures by Lin Su.
In this way, until the second half of the night, Lin Su and the others came to a strange area. The desert ahead turned into a basin, above which stood a winding road like a viaduct between the valleys.
The width of the road is only one and a half meters, barely enough for two people to pass side by side, there are no guardrails on either side, and the bare pavement is a drop of several hundred meters from the sand at the bottom.
"It's an artificially constructed passageway, right?" Justin carefully surveyed the pavement beneath his feet with a flashlight, and the pavement was made of huge stacks of rocks to confirm his opinion.
"Impossible, the environment here is so bad, can anyone really live here?" Tucci was skeptical.
"If there is no one to live, how did the food pyramid in the desert come about?" Justin retorted.
"Didn't someone say it was built by aliens?"
"Don't listen to the nonsense of the so-called experts, they haven't been to the food pyramid at all, it's all speculation." Justin said dismissively.
Tucci's speculation may seem outrageous, but it is actually the closest to the truth. The Pyramid of Food, which is listed as one of the Seven Incredible Food Buildings, was built by Nitro, who is indeed an alien creature. However, Lin Su would not tell them this.
As you walk along the narrow road, the sky gradually brightens as you go farther and farther. Before you know it, everyone has been gone all night.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the red desert, Lin Su and the others also came to the end of the path. Crossing the sand dunes, a huge octagonal pyramid suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The height of the exposed part of the huge pyramid is about 500 meters, and the surface of the pyramid has a huge semicircular pattern that is sunken.
"Good...... It's amazing, is this the food pyramid!? ”
