Chapter 4 Lake River
The sand waves flowed around him, like a boat on the Yellow River, and the yellow waves continued to surge behind him, but the droplets that hit his face turned into grains of sand.
"Why?"
Chen Xi was a little angry, a life had passed away in front of his eyes, and the blood gushing out not only made him feel fear.
"Why don't you save him? You could have thrown away the rags, but are those things more important than life!"
Chen Xi's irrepressible anger spread through the air, but it couldn't reach behind him.
"Cologne is already old! But some people don't, these things are more people's lives! This is his choice, and when necessary, we will do the same, we will be buried in this desert, and we will become a part of the feet of future generations!"
Seth said slowly, talking about life and death in the same tone as if he were talking about the roses by the window that would one day wither.
Chen Xi's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and finally chose to be silent.
Tilting their heads to one side, the yellow sand was now past the head of the sand swimmer, and they were all standing at the top of the behemoth's back.
There was a small cavern inside the thick bone plate of the giant beast, and Rien was struggling to manipulate the direction of the sandworm inside.
The circulating air flow at the entrance of the cave every minute made Chen Xi judge that this was the breathing port of the sand swimming beast, and although he was still angry, Chen Xi still became interested in this narrow hole.
But this hole is so small that Rien can only curl up inside, in the dark, so that Chen Xi doesn't know what kind of scene is inside.
The tattered bag was thrown aside by Du Xin, and the hole in the bag was shining with the luster and rust of ironware, it was hard to believe that it was just such a lump of waste that sacrificed the life of an old man!
No one spoke, time moved slowly, the speed of the sand swimmer beast made Chen Xi feel that he was not moving in the sand, and the moonlight in the middle of the night mixed with the cold wind of the desert night made Chen Xi feel that he was sitting on a ship heading towards Antarctica.
Chen Xi already knows that there is no Antarctica here, and this is not the Sahara, and if nothing happens, he may no longer be on the earth.
Although this is hard to believe, all kinds of signs make Chen Xi have to believe that he has crossed like the bloody fantasy of his youth, and he has long passed the age of that fantasy.
And now, in the moonlight, he misses his family, the only family!
A few years ago, it was the second secondary fantasy that made him think that he might have some kind of powerful golden finger ability, maybe it had something to do with the sunlight that brought him here, but the blisters he got from three hours of exposure to the sun yesterday proved that no!
With a long sigh, Chen Xi applied the black-brown foul-smelling ointment given by Lien to the blister, but this feces-like thing was extremely effective, and the hot wound became cool and cool, and the only side effect was that the wound was faintly purple.
The only scenery in the desert is the sand dunes, the constant sand dunes, and the alternating heat and cold that erodes the fragile heart of man.
As early as three days ago, Chen Xi took back his clothes and shoes, and several people no longer regarded him as a trophy, and they had a share of food and water, perhaps Cologne's.
Chen Xi didn't want to think about these questions, Cologne's death was a hole in his heart, and in order to survive he had to use food that was originally Cologne, which made him feel uneasy, as if blood was splattered on Cologne's face when a spear pierced his chest.
Closing his eyes, the few days of travel made Chen Xi adapt to the bumps, stuck himself in the ravine on the back of the sand swimming beast, and Chen Xi rarely enjoyed the tranquility under the moonlight when he avoided the cold wind.
The water had been drunk, but Ryan told himself that he would be able to reach the Lek River, the only river in the desert, by noon tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill, he still remembered that it was early in the morning when Rien came out, he was covered with slimy liquid, and the steaming heat on his body constantly emitted a foul smell into the air, this kind of foul smell Chen Xi couldn't be more familiar!
Sure enough, at noon, when Ryan came out again, he spread out a large lump of slime, allowing it to slowly burn into a thicker black ointment on the back of the sand swimmer.
Do you think you made an ointment out of the snot of the sand swimming beast?
Shaking his head, Chen Xi took the arm that had rubbed the ointment away from under the back of his head, preferring to pilllow himself on the hard and awkward bone plate, which reduced the devastation of the pungent smell, and Chen Xi fell into a deep sleep.
When they woke up again, the sun was already hanging in the east, but fortunately, they were also walking towards the east, and the pit where Chen Xi was located had not yet been scorched by the scorching sun.
However, Chen Xi still woke up because of the bumpy road.
On the way, Chen Xi had long been accustomed to the bumps, but at this time, the vibration came more violently from the bone plate.
Chen Xi turned over and sat up, and sure enough, just as he thought, they had already arrived at the Lakejiang River.
At this time, the Sandswimmer is boundless desert to the left, and the precious river is on the right.
The environment around the river is solidified mud and lush desert thorn plants.
This forced the sandworm to emerge from the sand and head towards the river, where he needed water.
This was the first time Chen Xi had seen the full picture of the sand swimming beast, the plate armor extended from the back to the tail, making its tail look extremely hard, and it seemed that he did not rely on the tail for power.
The feet of the sand swimmer are like frogs, with clear four toes connected to them, and the half-cut body buried deep in the ground does not look as hard as the plate armor above, but the soft skin with excellent flexibility is not inferior to the hard cuticle above.
The flipper structure was obviously better suited for swimming under the sand, but it made it very unsuitable for moving on hard ground, and the awkward forward posture made him look more like a turtle that had just broken out of its shell.
Without appreciating this funny scene too much, Chen Xi focused more on a more beautiful place, representing the vibrant Lekejiang!
"Didn't you say noon today? Why is it here at this time?"
Chen Xi didn't look back, he asked Boya next to him.
"The Sand Swimmer's circumnavigation path has changed, and it often changes it to avoid predators, and we use it to keep the Sand Pirates from crouching on the banks of the Lake. ”
Boya said indifferently, obviously, such things may be the norm, and they are already familiar with it.
"This guy still has natural enemies?"
However, Chen Xi's focus is obviously in the first half of the sentence, in his opinion, such a big guy is still so hard, who can gnaw and move?
"Let's go! Go down and get water! If you don't mind, you can wash your body with the water of the Lake River, and by the way, wipe the mud on the riverside, that thing contains a lot of animal feces, which can heal your body burns!"
Boya said, taking a large copper kettle that was rare in the tattered inside, and ran towards the river.
"The ghost is going to wash that thing!"
Chen Xi took a sudden, slowly climbed down the giant beast, and followed Boya towards the river.
