Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Mirage

Seven days later! It's hot and windless!

Under the blazing sun like a furnace, the sand grains above the sand are burned by the sun, and if there is a fresh raw egg at this moment, buried in these hot sand grains, the egg will be cooked in less than ten minutes.

The endless sand dunes of different heights and heights also continue to meander out of everyone's sight, like thousands of dragons lying on the sand dunes and being buried.

In the desert, after Li Ling and the four of them walked for seven days, the number of water bags carried by the four of them was gradually decreasing, and only the last piece of dried meat was left! At this moment, because of the harsh environment, water and food are facing a huge crisis.

If a person has no water in the desert, it means that death is not far away!

Li Ling touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, raised his head, and looked at the endless desert, so dry, the environment is so harsh, there is no water, and there are very few creatures.

Quietly leaning on a dead wood branch, after taking two steps, suddenly his legs went limp, his mind was dizzy, and he fainted to the ground.

"Miss Quiet." After Mandala found out, he was slightly moved, hurriedly leaned down, and pressed the lower part of Quiet's nose to be able to wake Quiet.

With a quiet sigh, he took in a breath of air, his head ached severely, and he gradually woke up, but his eyes were dim and his consciousness was a little blurred, obviously due to the shock caused by the extreme lack of food and water supplementation for many days.

"Today's temperature is more than 40 degrees, plus there is not enough water, there is not enough food, and the quiet physique is the weakest of us. Xiao Yuan took off his cowboy hat and fanned himself violently, analyzing the recent situation.

Li Ling squatted down, took off his water bag from his waist, pulled out the piston of the water bag, gently sent it to the quiet and dry mouth, moistened his lips first, and slowly poured it in, I was afraid that a drop of water would be spilled outside, and now the water is more than gold, and there is not a drop if there is no drop.

After being moistened by the water, Quiet gradually became much more sober, and his eyes were condensed a lot, looking at Li Ling's concerned eyes, he smiled slightly and said: "I'm fine, this is your water, you keep it yourself." Quietly raised her hand and slowly pushed away the water bag, very gently, I was afraid that it would spill.

"I don't have anything to do, I'm a martial arts practitioner, my physique is very good, I don't need water to live, you should have read the novel, many martial arts cultivators, living in seclusion in the mountains can go without food and water for half a year! That's what I am! Li Ling's eyes were very gentle, his hand gently stroked the quiet forehead, and stroked the quiet hair, which was also a little dry.

"Ahem......" Jing Jing couldn't help laughing, but it touched the nerves of the trachea, coughed, and said with a change of air: "What you said is not a martial arts cultivator, a true cultivator!" ”

"Well, cultivators, what do you say quietly, what is it?" Li Lingqiang smiled.

Xiao Yuan sighed slightly, and his brows had not been loosened since three days ago, because, three days ago, Xiao Yuan found that the oases in the desert had decreased a lot, and the few oases he once remembered were also buried by the ruthless sand, which led to the fact that the four people who couldn't find the oasis were now in such a state of water shortage.

"Hey, what should I do?" Xiao Yuan's fingers tapped his forehead, his brows furrowed even tighter, Xiao Yuan looked at the quiet, and said with a forced smile: "Wait until the evening, I will definitely find water, everyone rest assured." ”

"I believe Uncle Xiao." Quietly and softly.

"En......" Xiao Yuan smiled, looked up, and carefully observed the sand dunes in this area!

"Military Executive...... There is a sea ahead!! Mandala's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and there was a rare look of surprise on her face, which showed her desire for water.

Li Ling was also inexplicably surprised, how could there be a sea in the desert, raised his head, looked out into the distance, looked at the back of his body, and sighed slightly: "That's a mirage!" ”

"Mirage!" The mandala looked at the blue ocean, so clearly visible, so real, and the waves and seagulls, it turned out to be just a shadow, a mirage.

"Mirages often appear in the desert, and sometimes they give the wrong direction to those who cross the desert, so that those who walk in the desert will never be able to walk out of the desert." Xiao Yuan calmly looked at the mirage! Perhaps, the more you see, the calmer people become.

"Depending on the desert, the temperature difference is very great, can we store some dew?" Li Ling used to live in some small deserts, but they all had water collectors, but now they don't, because no one expected that the camels would be lost afterwards.

"No utensils, no water! I can only rely on my own experience to dig for groundwater, and hopefully I can succeed. Xiao Yuan carefully observed every bit of sand here, then pinched up a pile of sand and sniffed at the tip of his nose.

"All the way north! I'll find groundwater before evening! Xiao Yuan's brows furrowed even tighter, obviously challenging his limits.

Quiet gradually recovered some of his strength, but he was still a little prostration, after all, the sun was too poisonous, and the temperature was too high!

"I'll carry you." Li Ling held Quiet's hand, turned around and turned his back to Quiet.

"No need." Quiet shook her head.

"Hey, don't fight alone now." Li Ling, regardless of whether Quiet wanted to or not, directly put Quiet's hands on his shoulders, hooked Quiet's legs with both hands, and carried Quiet's back.

Quiet nose twitched, his eyes were slightly moved, and he lay calmly on Li Ling's shoulder, feeling the sense of security and protection brought by Li Ling.

"Mirage! How nice it would be if it were true! Quietly looking at the mirage that was gradually disappearing in the air, he said that sentence with infinite expectation.

"It's going to be true, as long as we believe it, we can do it!" Li Ling tightened the silence behind him and encouraged.

"Well...... It's going to be true, it's going to be true. Quietly and gently rested his head on Li Ling's thick shoulders.

When night fell, every ten steps Xiao Yuan walked, he would squat down and grab a handful of sand and sniff it at the side of his nose! Test the humidity in the sand.

However, most of the sand is so dry that it almost seals the nose. Xiao Yuan also kept sneezing because of this.

"Uncle Xiao......" quietly watched Xiao Yuan work hard to find a water source for everyone, and his heart ached slightly.

"I don't have anything to do, I believe you Uncle Xiao, you will be able to find the groundwater soon, and you can drink enough when the time comes." Xiao Yuan remained optimistic and said with a smile.

Li Ling's brows furrowed at this moment.

"Junjun, you feel it too." Mandala came to Li Ling's side and whispered.

"Well, they finally can't help it." Li Ling smiled coldly. Feeling ten miles behind, there were two people following closely.
