Chapter 192: The Desert
The desert in the early morning, an indescribable cold snap. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is like an appendage, starting from the soles of your feet and gnawing at your skin, all the way up until it penetrates your brain and spines the word "cold" into every cell of you.
From the beginning, he walked aimlessly in one direction, until now, he is paralyzed in the sand.
It only takes one night in the desert to wear out all your energy and patience.
On a low-lying shady side, the high quicksand keeps sliding down to the bottom of the valley, and several figures can be seen.
Several men and several women, most of them dressed simply, tank tops, shorts, and one person wore a straw hat.
After a whole night of wind and sand, the men and women seemed to be physically and mentally exhausted, and they were sitting together at this time, not knowing what they were discussing.
In the distance, a huge round sun slowly rises.
People remember it as so powerful that they were almost roasted dry on their first day here, and they could not imagine what it would be like to be in the desert for six hours.
"Can you see the border?"
Nami looked up and shouted, the backlight shining on the girl's face, showing a hint of exhaustion.
"I can't see it! I can't see it at all!"
Luffy was lifted by Zoro Sanji, his hair swinging straight and rushing upward, turning into a rubber balloon at a height of 100 meters, observing the situation nearby.
However, the desert is really big, Luffy stared at it for a long time, but he didn't even see the border.
...
In fact, as early as mid-air, everyone had already taken a rough look at the situation on the ground.
Looking down through the clouds at a height of several thousand meters, you can see that they have indeed landed in the middle of the desert.
At first glance, after walking all night, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
According to Abisi's preliminary estimate, if she walked straight along a straight line, it would take half a month to get out of this desert at the earliest, and by that time, the corpse was estimated to be cold.
Everyone had already considered this possibility, but no one said it.
In such an environment, often a single thought can completely defeat your faith, and everyone is not afraid to think about it, but afraid of it.
I am afraid that if I say it, I will be buried in this boundless natural cemetery.
"Wait!"
Luffy's voice suddenly came from the air, and everyone looked up in unison, only to feel that their throats were extremely dry.
The boy's eyes widened as if he had discovered something.
There is nothing left in the air except quicksand, but if you look closely, you can see a faint difference.
Following the boy's gaze all the way forward, he saw a high wall standing majestically, completely turning into the color of a desert in the wind and sand, as if it had been standing for thousands of years, magnificent and vast, like the Great Wall.
Why is there a wall in the desert?
Luffy couldn't think of it even if he wanted to, so he simply had to remember the direction and slumped down.
"Listen to me..."
...
After listening to what the boy said, everyone couldn't tell the reason, and only felt strange for a while, but now they only saw such a place, and they just paused for a moment and went on the road.
Traveling in the desert is the most boring, and fortunately there are people around who can talk, but in order to save saliva, several people hardly talk much.
...
"Goo-goo..."
Luffy's stomach protested on time, and he had three meals a day without meat, and it was only less than a day later, and the boy's whole body was already starting to weaken.
"I'm so hungry..."
The boy's face was bitter and he rubbed his stomach vigorously, but hunger was not such an easy problem to solve, and the more he rubbed his stomach, the more the hunger worsened.
Ablis had not said a word from the beginning, but had only followed the direction the boy had pointed, as had the others, and now, though it was not very plausible to place hopes on a high wall, it was better than nothing bare.
“......”
Halfway through, the girl suddenly stopped, hesitated, and bit her lower lip.
Everyone looked at the girl strangely, and after a while, they saw Abith lightly pluck the white flower of her sideburns and spread it in the palm of her hand.
"I don't think we'd better get past it..."
"I had a hunch that it wasn't a good place to go. ”
Gently shaking the small white flower in her hand, Abisi's eyes flashed with a hint of determination.
"Look, I have a bunch of volcanic flowers here, and its body fluids are enough for us to cross this desert, and it is safest to walk in a straight line than the unstable elements. ”
"Wow! I forgot! And this thing!"
"Why didn't you say it earlier!"
"Haha!
Everyone had seen the power of the volcanic flower before, and when they thought of the huge vines and the super tough cover, they always felt powerless.
But now, listening to Luffy, the volcanic flower has long been subdued by Abis, and in this endless desert, the juice of the volcanic flower can always bring people a sense of security.
"Give me some water, I remember that thing tasted good, and it was full!"
Looking at the white flower in Abisi's hand, Usopp only felt a dry mouth, the previous oppressive atmosphere almost made the boy breathless, and now that his life was guaranteed, the boy was active again.
"Pick it up!"
With a swipe of her hand, a pale green liquid flew towards Usopp, and the boy drank it all in one gulp, satisfied.
"I want it too!
Nami had also seen this liquid, so she naturally knew its benefits, and even the spirits of everyone were lifted, and they reached out to Abis to ask for it.
Only Luffy still has a bitter melon on his face.
"But this one isn't tasty at all..."
The boy had a pale green liquid in his cheeks, and he still felt sick when he remembered how he felt in the hood.
The feeling of being swallowed whole by the plant in the stomach is really uncomfortable, and Luffy is a rubber person, and the volcanic flower can't be digested, otherwise even if Abith accepts the volcanic flower, I'm afraid there will be no bones left in Luffy at that time.
"Less nonsense, drink!"
Abyss was extremely strong, and slapped Luffy's mouth with one hand, the boy's eyes trembled, and the green juice in his mouth was sucked into his abdomen.
Fortunately, this guy is a rubber man, he didn't choke his throat, and not a drop of green juice flowed into Luffy's mouth.
"Hah!
The boy perked up and raised his arms as if he had been resurrected.
The bodily fluids of volcanic flowers are hard to find, and the effect is naturally needless to say, even if the taste is a little lighter, it is not comparable to ordinary things.
"I've decided!"
Luffy suddenly straightened his hat and pointed in the direction of the high wall with one hand.
"Since we don't have to worry about food and water, let's go over there and have a look!"
"I agree!"
Before Luffy finished speaking, Usopp also raised his hands in approval, the boy just finished drinking the green juice, only to feel that every cell in his body came to life, and his whole body had endless strength, and after a closer look, Usopp's originally flat shoulders were also forced to "stretch" out a trace of muscles.
“......”
Several people were just going to sea with the treasure for the adventure, almost coincided, and from the moment the decision was made, Abisi opened her mouth, but she didn't insert a word.
Are you sure you let them do it?]
The voice of the volcanic flower suddenly sounded in her mind, and Abith was slightly stunned, and continued to keep up with everyone's footsteps without saying a word.
[You don't have to worry about it. 】
