They disembarked at a cruise ship port of call in Abu Simba. After disembarking from the boat, they now found a car, and after nearly an hour's drive, they came to the edge of the desert, which was already the territorial limit of Nubia.

They came to a place where they could rent camels, this camel is good, no matter what, as long as they are not dead, even if you leave them halfway, they will return to the master's place by themselves, this ability to recognize the road is really stronger than the old horse.

Nasser talked to the owner of the camel rental about the rent, and then ran over to Wang Zhichu and told them about the general situation, but Wang Zhichu did not say anything, and paid the rent and deposit. This rent is a lease fee, and this deposit is a bit much, and the four camels paid a total of nearly 20,000 dollars. In fact, it's not that his camel is more expensive, but that this camel can bring him economic benefits all year round, in case you kill other people's camels on the road and stew them, who will they go to, so the deposit is a bit high.

After the camel matter was settled, they supplemented some food, such as pancakes, camel meat, dried beef and mutton, which were very hungry and replenished their physical strength. They also have plenty of water, and if they encounter any special circumstances, the water in the desert is more expensive than gold.

After everything was ready, Nasser said to Wang Zhichu: "Professor Wang, we have all the things that should be prepared, do you think today is to rest in this town for a night, or set off now." ”

"Let's go now!" Wang Zhichu was unusually firm, and walked forward with the camel he led.

“OK！ Okay, let's go. Nasser didn't show any displeasure, but it was clear that he still wanted to leave tomorrow.

Wang Lihong and the others set off on a sandy road southwest of the town and headed for the south of the Nubian region. When they set foot on this long stretch of yellow sand, they have already stepped into the Sahara Desert, the world's largest desert, and at the same time embarked on a road full of unknowns.

Wang Lihong used to always wonder, why do Arabs and Egyptians like to tie scarves on their heads, isn't it hot? Now he kind of understood, and thought that they might be because of the wind and sand. Cover it with a headscarf or something, and if necessary, you can also wrap your mouth and nose around it, and use it as a mask, so as not to choke on the yellow sand, of course, this is Wang Lihong's nonsense speculation.

Desert Wang Lihong is no stranger, last time they almost knelt in the desert, fortunately, his fate is great, every time he thinks of the experience of Sky City, he still feels palpitations. But I think it's very exciting.

The desert is notoriously hot, so they move very slowly, but luckily there are camels to walk around, otherwise they would have died.

At 10 o'clock in the middle of the day, the sun was shining, and the temperature was almost 50 degrees. But Wang Lihong was very leisurely and happy, feeling as if he was not hot at all, riding a camel. While humming a little song, the copper bells jingled.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells......"

Lan Xi was so annoyed that she didn't even want to speak, swaying slowly on the camel, she saw Wang Lihong so leisurely. Then he asked, "Lihong, aren't you hot?" Still have the heart to sing? ”

Wang Lihong shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically, "Is it hot?" Why don't I feel hot. Hey, I said you pampered women should be pulled out to bask in the sun. Usually walking on the road is afraid of tanning, I really don't know how to pay so much attention to it. ”

"I'm not as pretentious as you say." After Lan Xi finished speaking, he turned his head again and continued to rush his own way.

After walking for nearly two hours, Lan Xi asked Nasser, "Mr. Guide, where should we set up camp tonight?" ”

Nasser's bronze face was dark and his teeth were very conspicuous when he smiled, he pointed to the endless desert in front of him, and said to Lan Xi: "If we are faster, we can go to a rock pile in front that can be sheltered from the wind and rest, and then wait for dawn before continuing our journey." ”

Lan Xi looked at the yellow sand in front of him, and asked again, "How far is that?" ”

"More than one hundred and fifty kilometers." Nasser replied.

As soon as Lan Xi heard this distance, she suddenly felt like there was no hope, she was really thirsty, so she unscrewed the kettle she carried with her and took a sip of water.

After walking for more than an hour, Wang Lihong was still humming a little song, Lan Xi wondered, and thought, "Why is this guy not hot at all?" It's so strange, no matter how not afraid of the heat, you can't be so calm. ”

Lan Xi stroked the rope of the camel, and then leaned towards Wang Lihong, who was walking last, when her camel and Wang Lihong's camel were close side by side, she seemed to feel a slight coolness emanating from Wang Lihong's side.

"Strange! What's going on? Lan Xi originally thought that this was an illusion, and then moved closer to Wang Lihong, wanting to talk to him, who knew that he felt a chill that was about to leave.

At this moment, Lan Xi felt very clearly, she looked at Wang Lihong, and asked wonderingly, "Lihong, are you hiding something on your body?" ”

Wang Lihong pretended to be a second force and said, "What, what can I hide." ”

"No, you must be hiding something." Lan Xi knew that this Wang Lihong was not an ordinary person, and there must be something very magical on him, so he approached his side and reached out to grab his shoulder.

Who knew that it was just like this, and a very comfortable coolness immediately passed to Wang Lihong's body, and Lan Xi shouted angrily: "Okay, you really hid ......"

"Shhhh Wang Lihong immediately covered Lan Xi's mouth, afraid that he would speak too loudly and attract the attention of Wang Zhichu and Nasser in front.

Wang Lihong saw that the two people in front of him didn't react, so he slowly let go of the mouth covering Lan Xi.

As soon as Wang Lihong's hand moved away from Lan Xi's mouth, Lan Xi asked him in a low voice, "Okay, Lihong, tell me quickly, what are you hiding?" How is it so cool. I'll just say, why are you so proud, it turns out that you are secretly prepared. ”

"What a sneak, this is my own thing, and I didn't steal it." As Wang Lihong spoke, he found a stone from the inner pocket of his jacket, a stone like an ice cube, shaped like a goose egg, the only difference was that the stone was translucent, as if something was swimming inside.

"Lihong, what are you?" Lan Xi saw that this thing was very peculiar, so she asked him.

Wang Lihong saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, and besides, Lan Xi knew that her affairs were not a little bit, so she simply told her: "Do you remember the fiery red stone in Count Roy's house?" ”

Lan Xi nodded and said, "I must remember, isn't that what you said about the soul of the fire phoenix?" ”

Wang Lihong pointed to his stone and said, "Well, that piece is called the soul of the fire phoenix, and this piece is the soul of the ice phoenix." ”

"The soul of the ice phoenix?" Lan Xi asked in confusion.

Wang Lihong sighed for a moment and said, "Hey, anyway, I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while, let's make a pot of tea in the future and talk about it slowly." ”

"No, I'm going to ride a camel with you, I'm so hot I can't stand it." Lan Xi suddenly made such a request.

When Wang Lihong heard this, he immediately refused: "Where is this, this camel can only be ridden by one person, two people are too crowded." ”

"That's fine, you can give me the stone." Lan Xi saw that Wang Lihong disagreed, so he proposed.

Wang Lihong didn't do it anymore, and said, "If this is given to you, then it won't heat me to death." ”

"Let's ride a camel then." Lan Xi didn't care whether Wang Lihong agreed or not, he jumped off his camel at once, walked in front of Wang Lihong's camel, and stretched out his right hand, which means that you hurry up and pull me up.

Wang Lihong gave Lan Xi a roll of the eyes, but he really had no choice but to pull her up and sit in front of him.

Nasser looked back at this scene and said to Wang Zhichu: "The relationship between the couple is really good." ”

Wang Zhichu glanced at them, didn't say anything, and continued to follow Nasser forward. (To be continued.) )
