Chapter 4: The Endless Desert

The vast desert, the dead sea of sand.

Majestic, quiet, with a straight face, always giving people a monotonous color, always a scorching yellow.

It is as if nature has frozen the turbulent waves and the empty angry waves here in an instant, making it stand still forever. Waves of sand surged forward, like an invisible giant hand, peeling off the desert layer after layer.

Occasionally, a gust of wind hangs on the desert, the sand grains fly, and the sky is dark, this is the world of sand, and there is no place for it.

In the vast sea of sand, only the clear and heavy footprints of Jingwen and his party were left, and the scorching sand sea entered the whole body through the feet, and thirst and heat filled everyone's hearts.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Yu Xia Wenwen was weak and her physical fitness was extremely ordinary, and she slowly came to the end on the way forward in the desert.

At this time, I suddenly heard Yu Xia's sharp scream. And all the people looked back.

I saw that Yu Xia's two feet were slowly sinking into the sand.

She was struggling to climb out.

"Don't move! Moving will only make you sink faster. The cold young man stared at Yu Xia and shouted loudly.

"What to do, help me, please help me. Yu Xia anxiously asked everyone for help.

"You're just starting to fall, you should be on the edge, and you're going to lie down on the sand and roll out slowly. The cold young man looked at the panicked Yu Xia, and then said in an aggravated tone: "If you don't want to die, hurry up."

Yu Xia didn't have time to think, and immediately tried according to the instructions of the cold young man.

It took some time for Yuxia to finally roll out of the quicksand.

Her heart was full of fear, and she was full of gratitude to the cold boy.

The young man just nodded to her, and without saying anything, he continued to walk forward.

"Everybody be careful. The calm girl shouted and continued to walk.

The faces of the crowd became more and more ugly.

Everyone thought that they would just get out of the desert, but they didn't expect that there would be quicksand, and if they accidentally fell into it, they would be worried about their lives.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

The desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and there is quicksand in between, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it.

After moving forward for a while, Jingwen already felt that his legs were like lead and sweat was like rain, but he refused to give up easily, and still walked forward.

At first, Jingwen thought that it should not be difficult to get out of the desert, but when he was actually in it, he found that there was no end ahead, which made people feel desperate from the bottom of their hearts.

"Have we gone in the wrong direction, walked so long that we can't see a way out?" muttered a lean teenager.

Looking at the boundless desert ahead, a group of people had similar thoughts in their hearts.

Except for the cold boy and girl who walked in the front, it seemed that the physical strength was acceptable. The others were out of breath and moved slowly.

Until now, none of them have given up.

Jing Wen looked at Hu Ding not far in front of him.

At this moment, Hu Dingzheng gritted his teeth and insisted, he knew that this was his only chance.

His mind flashed with his grandfather's expectant look.

Due to the preciousness of the assessment token, the Hu family only has one.

The head of the family was under pressure and left him with the only chance.

This matter has long been dissatisfied and discussed among the clan.

All of this lingered in Hu Ding's heart.

At this moment, Hu Ding's feet suddenly trembled, he fell, and his body fell quickly.

Suddenly the screams of horror rang out again.

It's not just Hu Ding who gets caught up in it.

Everyone walking in front of Jingwen trembled under their feet and fell into it.

This time, there were five people, including the cold boy who walked in the front, the girl who was in second place, and Hu Ding and two Liangzhou teenagers.

"Damn, we may have entered the quicksands. The cold young man said with a pale face.

In the endless desert, it is difficult to determine where the quicksand is, and if you are not careful, you will sink and die in the quicksand. But if you react quickly, you can escape.

The prerequisite for safety is to avoid quicksand areas, which requires experienced pathfinders to lead the way, and these pathfinders will carry a cane in addition to their experience and use it to find out if the sand in front of them is strong, and if they are careful, it is generally not easy to get caught in the quicksand in this way.

But Jingwen and the others are all here to participate in the sect assessment, and there is no such thing as a cane at all.

Because Yu Xia accidentally fell into it earlier. Everyone knows how to climb out. The four people who fell into it hurriedly tried to get out of the trap according to the method just now of the cold young man.

However, the quicksand area that the five people stepped into was far from being comparable to the edge area that Yu Xia stepped into just now.

They were sinking much faster than Yu Xia just now. Although I know the method, it is much more difficult to climb out. Looking at the five people who fell into it, the people behind were afraid for a while.

"It's so dangerous, I almost fell into it. Jing Wen was closest to the five people in front of him, and he was about to step into the quicksand area.

Seeing the situation at this time, Jingwen's feet suddenly stiffened in place, and he didn't dare to move a bit.

Among the five, the cold young man was the first to successfully leave the quicksand area, and the calm woman followed closely behind and also escaped the danger.

Compared with these two people, the other three are obviously much weaker in the face of danger.

At this time, the three of them were already a little flustered in their hearts.

Seeing the two who escaped, Jingwen began to worry about Hu Ding, who was caught in it.

As time passed, Hu Ding and a swarthy boy also got out of the predicament and left the quicksand area smoothly, and the remaining round-faced teenager fell deeper and deeper for some reason.

Seeing that Hu Ding successfully escaped, Jingwen also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Yu Xia behind Jingwen walked towards the quicksand area, and she wanted to pull the round-faced boy up.

"Yuxia go back quickly, if you go forward again, it will be the quicksand area, maybe you will fall into it again in the next step." The calm girl saw Yu Xia's intentions.

"In his current situation, outsiders can't pull it up at all, they will only sink with him. The cold young man also warned Yu Xia.

Everyone looked at the round-faced young man who was sinking deeper and deeper, and their hearts became even heavier. They didn't expect that it would be just an introductory assessment, and their lives would be in danger.

And this test has just begun, and everyone is full of worries about the road ahead.

The quicksand had already spread to the waist of the round-faced boy, and in a few moments, it would completely flood his entire body.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were full of unbearable.

After all, the people here are under the age of fifteen, and they are still teenagers and girls.

The round-faced young man had fear and anxiety written on his face, he knew that he couldn't get out, but he didn't want to die here, he looked at everyone for help.

The quicksand gradually flooded the round-faced boy's chest, and only his neck and head were still outside.

The horror in his eyes grew stronger. "Help, help, I don't want to die,,, please, help me. He shouted hysterically around him.

The crowd saw that he was powerless and silent.

Yu Xia didn't go over and cried.

"Give up quickly, don't lose your life because of the assessment. The middle-aged man who called Zhang Feng before entering the tower said that if you can't hold on halfway, or if you encounter danger, you will shout to give up, and the Chosen Tower will send you out. The calm girl sighed and shouted loudly at the round-faced boy.

The round-faced boy suddenly came to his senses and shouted to the sky: "I give up! Give up the assessment! Help me out! His words fell.

I saw a blue light appear in the sky, and it instantly landed on the round-faced boy, and then the round-faced boy immediately disappeared without a trace.

It wasn't until the round-faced boy disappeared that everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. "As long as you're alive. "That's what everyone thinks in their hearts.

One last glance at the place where the round-faced boy had disappeared. The cold young man turned around and continued to walk forward, but this time he felt that he was walking more slowly, maybe he was too tired, or maybe he was more careful.

The calm woman also slowly followed.

Jingwen and Hu Ding glanced at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes.

Hu Ding also cautiously walked slowly towards the calm woman's back.

Jingwen took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart. dragging his tired body, he slowly bypassed the quicksand area and walked in the direction of Hu Ding.

The group continued to move forward in the desert.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

As far as the eye could see, there was a monotonous yellow everywhere, not even a single tree, and the vastness of the desert made everyone feel tired, as if they would never be able to get out.

The sun rises high and high, and the sun makes the desert smoke.

The sand was so hot that Jingwen only felt that he was neither standing nor sitting.

He was even more afraid that once he sat down, he would never be able to stand up again.

He had a deeper understanding of the horror of the desert.

With no water, no food, all people are at risk of dehydration.

In the case of extreme thirst, Jingwen only felt confused, had a headache, and felt that he could collapse at any time.

He couldn't tell the way forward, but instinctively followed the people in front of him, moving forward step by step.

At this time, his face was pale and severely dehydrated, making it extremely difficult for Jingwen to take every step forward.

Time passed slowly, and Jingwen's consciousness became more and more blurred.

A moment ago, as if hearing the rear or the front, someone said weakly: "I give up!"

Now Jingwen can't tell the direction. He didn't know how many of these companions had given up.

He was now moving his body mechanically by instinct.

"Am I going to die, die in this endless desert? I haven't taken a good look at the world, I haven't married a beautiful daughter-in-law, and I haven't opened up for the Jing family. I can't just die, I want to live. I can't afford to lose my life for the sake of the assessment. The instinct to survive continued to rise in Jingwen's heart.

Jingwen raised his head with all his strength, and said weakly to the sky: "I ......." A blue light gradually appeared in the sky.

But before Jingwen could say the rest of the word give up.

Extreme dehydration and exhaustion instantly eroded his consciousness, and Jingwen fell to the ground and fainted.
