Chapter 5 The road is coming to an end
As the sun set, the sand swim beast had been away from the Lake River for half a day, and although half a day had passed, he had washed all the mud on his body at the last moment, but he was nauseated at the thought of rolling in the dung heap of a group of beasts.
Not thinking about the faint smell coming from his body, under the afterglow of dusk, Chen Xi pillowed on the hard bone plate of the sand swimming beast, trying to sleep for the time when the breeze had not yet melted away the strange smell, but this obviously did not work.
"Seth, why are you here to explore?"
Out of boredom, Du Xin looked at the distant starry sky, looked at the moon, which was smaller than the earth, and asked Seth who was lying in the pit of another bone plate of the sand swimming beast.
"To survive!"
Faced with Chen Xi's question, Seth said as if he didn't care, but his tone was full of helplessness, and for a while, the topic was interrupted, so that Chen Xi couldn't find a way to continue.
Giving up chatting to pass the time on this difficult night, Chen Xi sat up, let himself be as close to the direction of the wind as possible, and used the wind to dilute the smell on his body more while the night was not thick, so that he could have a better time in the second half of the night.
"Ryan, how far are we from Shata?"
"Grandpa Boya, the Sand Swimmer has just drunk water, and it is very fast, we will pass by Shata in about two days, and we will arrive in Kennesser in three days, and after walking for half a day, we will probably have to walk for two days. ”
Ryan's immature voice came from the hollow behind the sand-swimming beast, and the voice echoed in the hollow and seemed extremely dull.
"What? We're going to be gone for two days!"
Chen Xi shouted in surprise, the fear of the desert has been deeply imprinted in his bones, the scorching heat, the cold of the night, and the thick black snot of the sand swimming beast with a strong stench, these will be his nightmare for a long time.
"Chen Xi, the Sand Swim Beast's circumnavigation route has already ended in Kennesser, and the remaining half of the journey is still driven by us according to the edge of the circumambulation, and after getting there, the land has begun to change from a desert to the next door, and the Sand Swim Beast cannot go there. ”
After a few days of familiarity, several people have regarded Chen Xi as a companion, and they patiently explained Chen Xi's question.
"it, Bodhisattva, I'm wrong! Let me wake up!"
Only after feeling the horror of the desert could he feel like this, Chen Xi felt that he had fallen into deep despair, and he collapsed on the bone plate, trying to use metaphysics to judge that he was having an epic nightmare.
"Who is the Bodhisattva?"
Apparently, this unfamiliar term piqued Seth's interest.
"It's like...... Who's that god you worship?"
"We believe in the goddess of the dawn, and in the desert, the only one who can guide us in the direction is the goddess of the dawn!"
"Well, the Bodhisattva is like the goddess of dawn that you believe in, and it is also a god that we believe in!"
Chen Xi explained indifferently.
"It's strange! The name of the Bodhisattva is awkward, like the name of Berguin more north!"
Seth muttered, Chen Xi didn't hear clearly, didn't ask, the moonlight gradually changed, the breeze turned into a cold wind, this damn desert made Chen Xi about to have a difficult night again.
"Wow! What a high sand dune! This is a sand mountain!"
Waking up early in the morning, Chen Xi looked at the obvious high ground on the horizon on the right in surprise, it had been three days since they left the Lakejiang River, according to Lien's words, in two days at most, he would have to leave this big guy who was constantly complaining about but really gave him protection.
"That's the sand tower!
Seth on the side said in surprise that this road was the only way for their scavengers to enter and exit, and seeing Shata at this time meant that they were not far from home, and Seth had a smile on his old face.
Chen Xi didn't reply, he looked at the towering yellow sand in front of him in shock, according to his previous knowledge, he judged that this sand dune was at least five hundred meters high, not towering into the clouds, but it was also a unique scenery in the desert.
The scorching sun was high, and the scorching heat quickly consumed Chen Xi's only interest, and he hid back in his small pit, at this time, the bone plate that he had complained about for several days seemed to have become his safe haven, and he even took a rag from Seth and covered himself to avoid the scorching sun.
The long-curled body made Chen Xi feel that he had gradually fit into this pit, except for being woken up by bumps from time to time in the middle of the night, everything was fine.
The sand tower quickly passed, and the surroundings were once again in a sea of uniform sand dunes.
The scorching sun did not accommodate Chen Xi this time, the change of direction made the small pit also under the scorching sun, although there was a rag, but Chen Xi still felt the deep malice of the sun, he felt that he should be suffering from heat stroke.
Holding back the dizziness, Chen Xi took out the black-brown ointment and put it on his forehead with a pinching of his nose, which was a decision after he had deliberated and asked Seth to no avail.
It turns out that the effect is still there, at least Chen Xi is more energetic!
Day and night turned around again, and Chen Xi's state of heat stroke disappeared, and he didn't know if it was better than the ointment or because of the cold wind last night, but there was a long lilac mark on his head, although he couldn't see it.
Looking at the purple color that had disappeared on his ankles, Chen Xi didn't know if it was the credit of time or the credit of the Lei Kejiang fecal medicated bath, he was more inclined to be the credit of his powerful genes as an earthling.
He didn't dwell on this issue for long, and Chen Xi was regained consciousness by Boya's shouts from the front.
"Kennesser has arrived!"
Chen Xi sat up in shock, skillfully put the rag on his head, and stood up with difficulty from the small pit, not caring about loosening his stiff leg muscles, just thinking about climbing on the half-cut bone plate of the sand swimming beast.
"Where, where?"
What caught Chen Xi's eyes was still a desert, and just when he was puzzled, Boya next to him answered by himself.
"There's already a plant here, and there's a little clod in the sand, and this is Kennether!"
Boya climbed the bone plate on the head of the sand swimmer with his left hand, crossed his waist with his right hand, and his eyes kept wandering in the desert.
"Oh! I saw it!"
Chen Xi looked far away, stepped on the halfway waist of the sand dune and saw a few bushes of thorns surrounded by sand, they were the same color as the yellow sand, if it wasn't for Boya to speak, Chen Xi wouldn't have found it at all.
Chen Xi looked around excitedly, but the excitement lasted less than a minute.
"Boya, are we going to hike in half a day?"
"Well, further on, the desert will disappear completely, and then it will be a Gobi desert, and through the Gobi desert, we will reach Bergunn. ”
Boya said indifferently, he walked back slowly, he was going back to his own hole, and slowly regained his spirits.
After a while, Chen Xi also lost interest, he slowly walked back to the small pit, curled his body again and retracted into the small pit.
