Chapter 392: Desert Survival
also stopped, feeling the lower and lower temperature around him, and glanced at Yue Xuanxuan, who was already exhausted next to him, Ye Wen also agreed and said, "Okay, let's rest here at night!" ”
Sit down with Yue Xuanxuan, as Qiqige said, the night in the desert is really not good, there is no shelter around here, the wind and sand are blowing rampantly, mixed with cold wind, even if he is resting, Ye Wen also feels that his physical strength is being consumed rather than recovering.

Concentrating the only power he had on his body, Ye Wen quietly operated the water system power in his palm, hoping to absorb a little water. From being trapped in the desert to now, Ye Wen still hasn't taken a drop of water, and if he continues like this, Ye Wen is really worried that his body will collapse.
But the water system has been running for a long time, and what makes Ye Wen feel disappointed is that he hasn't accumulated a drop of water, which is simply an abnormal thing.
"Okay, don't waste your energy, it's in the desert, the water vapor in the air is too thin, you can't accumulate it." On the side, looking at Ye Wen's actions, Qiqige said coldly.
"Hey" sighed softly, and took back all the water system power in his palm, and now Ye Wen is really a little weak. Perhaps, after all, manpower still can't resist the power of nature, and then, Ye Wen and Yue Xuanxuan can only sit on the ground in discouragement.
Just as Ye Wen and Yue Xuanxuan were sitting down in place, dragging their injured bodies, Qi Qige was seriously rummaging around, carefully touching patches of fine sand, until Qi Qi Ge held some withered grass roots and other plants in her hands, and her face showed a happy color.
Turning his head, Qiqige immediately arranged for Ye Wen: "You hurry up, dig up here, remember to dig bigger." ”
Suddenly hearing Qiqige's words, Ye Wen suddenly made a difference, although he didn't understand why Qiqige wanted him to dig up the sand, but with intuition, Ye Wen still believed that Qiqige did this, it must be reasonable, after all, she just searched around, and it also took a lot of effort.
After rummaging in the Sumeru ring, Ye Wen was very lucky to find a broad-bladed mountain opening knife, which he had prepared when he went to the Sunset Mountain Range last time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now, and it was better to have a tool than his bare-handed empty digging.
However, digging and digging, Ye Wen also felt a headache, which was very different from digging a pit in the ordinary land. It's all fine sand here, and almost as soon as you dig it, the sand here will collapse on one side, and Ye Wen has to expend more effort to expand the sand pit in order to dig deeper.
Just digging down to a depth of about a zhang, a dense root system also emerged from the sand, these root systems are very developed, and there are small transparent balls on them, Ye Wen guessed, I'm afraid this is what Qi Qige wants him to dig.
"Alright, don't dig in." Seeing these developed root systems emerge, Qiqige immediately stopped Ye Wen's actions, and quickly walked up, gently swept away the floating sand, and picked out these small transparent balls one by one.
"What is this?" Seeing that Qiqige had picked up all these small round balls, Ye Wen immediately asked.
"You'll know if you taste it." Handing Ye Wen one of these small transparent balls, Qiqige said softly.
"Can you eat this?" Looking at the inconspicuous little round ball in front of him, with a curious attitude, Ye Wen directly put it into his mouth.
As these small balls entered their mouth, they melted in Ye Wen's mouth without even chewing. Then, a viscous liquid also slowly flowed in Ye Wen's mouth, although such a liquid was a little bitter, but undoubtedly, these small round balls were full of moisture, and they were probably the best thing to replace clear water.
"This is the root of ylang-ylang, which is a very strange flower in the desert. In order to be able to bloom, ylang-ylang roots must grow in the desert three years in advance, and slowly accumulate water, when the three years are up, ylang-ylang will break through the sand, but its flowering period is only one day, and then it will wither in the wind and sand, but the water they accumulate will remain in the sand. As he picked out all the balls, Kikige explained.
"Although ylang-ylang flowers have a very short flowering period, even if they bloom, they are only the size of a thumb, but for people in the desert, it is indeed the most beautiful flower in the world, because it can bring hope to those who are lost in the desert."
Listening to Qiqige's explanation, Ye Wen couldn't help but think, it seems that he chose to cooperate with Qiqige before, it was really right, without Qiqige, the use of this ylang-ylang flower to supplement water is something that he and Yue Xuanxuan can't find out anyway.
After a while, he picked out all the small balls in the sand, and Kikige quickly divided them into three parts, two of which were the same, and the other was noticeably more.
Handing the most of the one to Ye Wen, Qi Qige immediately said, "This one is for you." ”
Seeing that Qiqige actually gave him the most share, and she herself had as much as Yue Xuanxuan, Ye Wen suddenly refused embarrassedly: "I don't need it." ”
"Among the three of us, you alone still have combat effectiveness, in this desert, there is not only wind and sand, in case of any danger, you still need to help!" Then, Kikige said truthfully.
"Okay!" Hearing Qiqige say this, Ye Wen didn't shirk anymore, maybe what Qiqige said was right, he really needed to recover some physical strength as soon as possible to deal with unknown dangers.
"Ah, why is it so bitter." Immediately after, she took out a small round ball from her own part and put it in her mouth, Yue Xuanxuan instantly exclaimed.
"When is it, do you still think you're a daughter? If you don't want to eat it, you can keep it for someone else. Glancing at Yue Xuanxuan contemptuously, Qiqige said disdainfully.
"Whoever said I don't eat it, even if I don't eat it, I won't leave it to you." Throwing a few into her mouth again and again, Yue Xuanxuan chewed almost ventingly, and said inarticulately.
Although this thing is not delicious, Yue Xuanxuan will not joke with others with her life in order to take a breath. Moreover, after this afternoon's rush, Yue Xuanxuan was indeed tired.
Participating in the north wind in the desert, Ye Wen and Qiqige then quickly ate their share. The roots of this ylang-ylang flower are really good, not only are they well hydrated, but they are mixed with its fat rhizomes, which can even fill the stomach.
The roots of these ylang-ylang flowers were all digested, although for the weak bodies of the three of them, these moisture could not completely solve the problem. But with these water supplements, Ye Wen already felt that his body had eased significantly, and even the power in his body had accelerated his recovery.
