One man and one cow have been doing barbecue all afternoon.

Roast all the wild animals you hunt and expose them to the sun.

After an afternoon of exposure to the sun, the moisture in the meat is greatly reduced and dried, and it is no longer easy to deteriorate.

Before evening, hang all the meat that has almost become jerky on the hooks on both sides of the cow's back and cover it with a cloth to prevent it from wind, sand and mosquitoes.

Tie the wooden planks made in the afternoon under the hooves of the Bull Demon King to increase the force area and minimize the chance of falling into the sand.

After the temperature drops, a man and a cow step into the yellow sand.

Five days later, dark night!

"Bull Demon King, we're lost. There were no stars for three nights in a row, and the day was cloudy and full of yellow sand, and I didn't know where the sun came out, and I couldn't judge the direction.

Let's find a place to rest nearby, and it will only be more dangerous to run around like a headless fly. ”

The wind of the night constantly rolls up fine sand and pours it into the mouth, even if there is a layer of cloth wrapped around the nose and mouth.

After another hour of walking, I finally came across a higher hill.

When I came to the leeward side of the hill, the wind suddenly dropped, and there was no flying sand in the sky.

"Alright, here we are, I'll have to think about how I can get out of this cookie-cutter, endless desert, or we'll be trapped here. ”

Moo......

The only answer is always this one sentence, Tianxing is used to it.

Talking a lot is just about wanting to hear what is being said.

What people fear most is not life and death, but loneliness, especially when they are alone.

Once someone is locked in a room alone for a long time, the end result must be that the person has gone crazy.

Human beings are social and inevitably fear absolute loneliness.

Therefore, Tianxing never believed or disagreed, the so-called retreat for several years or decades, and then the power was greatly improved.

Even if there are really people who can endure loneliness for decades, what is the meaning of life!

Cultivating the Tao and cultivating the Tao is nothing more than the Tao in one's heart.

Your own way must be free and unfettered, and you must do what you want to do.

The night passed quickly, and it was getting bright.

Standing on the sand dunes, as far as the eye can see, it is all monotonous yellow, and there is not even a single tree.

The whole sky was still yellow, and it was impossible to judge the direction of the sunlight.

The desolate yellow sand makes people feel small and powerless, as if they will never be able to get out.

Quickly cut off this negative energy, re-examine the surroundings, and think of countermeasures.

"Hey, why did the sky suddenly change? Just now the sky was full of wind and sand, and now the sky is suddenly clear. ”

Just as I was thinking about countermeasures, I suddenly noticed a change in the sky.

Moo moo moo ......

Tianxing was talking to himself, and the Bull Demon King beside him came with an anxious cry.

Looking along the sight of the Bull Demon King, I saw thousands of meters in the distance, a torrent of rolling yellow sand up to a thousand meters high, rushing towards this side!

"Let's go, the sandstorm is coming, let's take shelter on the back of this dune. ”

Looking at the sandstorm rushing in the distance, he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly ran to the back of the sand dune with the Bull Demon King.

"Come, wrap your whole head in a cloth and squat down. ”

Tianxing wrapped himself and the entire head of the Bull Demon King with a long cloth to prevent the ubiquitous yellow sand from pouring into his mouth, nose, eyes and ears for a while.

Squatting down is to minimize the windy area, and items of the same height as the tree trunk on the back of the cow were all folded and put away last night.

Thundered!

Whew!

The man and the ox who had just squatted down were drowned by the surging sand and dust, and the sound of the wind whistling and the rumbling of the yellow sand rolling up the sky were in their ears.

I don't know how long it has been!

The whistling sound in my ears slowly faded away.

When he could no longer feel the yellow sand hitting his body, Tianxing untied the cloth on his head.

At this time, the sky was clear, and there was no wind and sand howling.

"Alright, Bull Demon King, the sandstorm has passed. ”

All four feet of the Bull Demon King were buried in the sand, and the long cloth on his head was untied.

Huh......

The Bull Demon King, who pulled out his four feet from the sand, shook off the sand from his whole body.

Moo......

The Bull Demon King, who howled, turned his head and looked at Tianxing with doubts.

"Hey, old cow, I don't know when the sandstorm will appear, it's unpredictable.

But now that the sun is out, I know the direction, and I'm leaving. ”

He saw the eyes of the Bull Demon King, knew what it meant, and explained.

Moo......

Hearing that he could leave this ghost place, the Bull Demon King let out a long howl of joy.

Tianxing counted the things and found that he had not lost them, so he walked to the left with the Bull Demon King with confidence.

Judging by the sun, the left side is the west side, and as long as you follow it all the way, you will definitely be able to get out of this desert area.

Three days later!

There wasn't much water left, and it was still full of yellow sand, and there was no sign of the end of it.

Four days later!

The water is running out, and it's still a barren yellow sand.

Five days later!

Despite repeated reductions in water use, the water bags are all dry, and there is still no end in sight for the yellow sand.

"Old Niu, we rest, we must maintain our physical fitness, wait until it gets dark before leaving, we have no water.

I've dug a hole and covered it with a hide to see if I can get some water. ”

Tianxing, who already had a somewhat chapped lip, gave the last sip of water to the Bull Demon King half a day ago.

Now they are in a great crisis, in the absence of water, even he can't bear it for long, and the Bull Demon King is too.

The stronger the body, the more energy it needs and the more it consumes. In the desert, the heat is very hot, and the water in the body evaporates very quickly.

Half a month's worth of water is prepared before entering the desert, and if it takes less than ten days under normal circumstances, you can pass through the desert area.

But getting lost on the road for a few days directly caused a large consumption of water.

Now it is the same yellow sand, and the location cannot be confirmed on the map.

According to the previous plan, the distance traveled by this time had already passed the desert, and even if it was lost for a few days, it should be close to the edge of the desert.

At least some plants can be seen, instead of an environment where there are no living things now.

A shade shed was erected with the trunk of a thorny tree, and one man and one cow waited for the night to come with some difficulty.

In the tormented waiting, the night finally came, and the plummeting temperature and the slightest cold wind made them a little more comfortable.

From the nearby sand hole, he carefully took out the animal skin covering the hole, as well as a small animal skin under the animal skin that was recessed downward.

Unfortunately, there are no traces of water on the sunken skin, which shows that the sand is extremely dry.

Reluctantly, he put away the animal skin, looked at the stars in the sky, confirmed the direction, and headed west.

At this time, one person and one cow were almost at the limit, their steps were already a little staggering, and their mouths were constantly panting.

Don't dare to gasp for breath, gasp for breath, and the water in your body will be consumed faster.

The Bull Demon King's pair of copper-bell-sized eyes were already bloodshot and dull.

There are no complaints, I have been following closely by my side, and I will never give up.

Seeing that the Bull Demon King who came out with him was so guilty, Tianxing felt very uncomfortable and blamed himself, but now there was nothing he could do.

He's at his limit now, and there's no way to help it, so he can only keep going, hoping that he can get out of this damn desert as soon as possible.

"You must hold on, as long as I fall, the Bull Demon King will definitely not be able to hold on. "Keep cheering yourself up in your heart and keep going.
