Seven or eight whirling turtles carried a few people forward quickly, and more than a dozen spinning turtles actually formed a circle to become the bodyguards who escorted the escort, this lineup was quite spectacular, and it also made several people very happy.

The rolling quicksand river water rises and falls, but at this time it can not affect the speed of the whirling turtle at all, they are born for this water in general, a pile of mud and sand can not make them a trace of trouble, clattering, a series of whirling turtle cries permeate the vast quicksand river, there is a rhythmic sound, like the swan song of the tourists, they are melodious and sound very pleasant, maybe a few people are too happy, so even the sound of the clattering wood can hear the taste of music.

The water of the quicksand river is fresh water, which could have been used for human consumption, but the amount of sediment mixed here is too much, so it can only be treated, so they know that there is a desert ahead, but no one has to fill the water here.

The speed of the tortoise is extremely fast, they are born in the water, swim faster than people on the road, and run out of more than 20 miles in a smoke, seeing that there is no trace of the other side behind them, several people laugh and laugh so happily.

A hundred miles away is not too far for these whirling turtles, according to their speed, it only took more than half an hour, the river bank has appeared in front of them, as far as the eye can see, a golden desert, although it is still on the water, they all feel a hot air, slowly faded the joy, a few people calmed down to face the dilemma in front of them.

Eight hundred miles of northern desert, not to mention the harsh natural conditions, the lack of water alone is enough to kill people, at this time the birds have no shadow, the beasts have no trace, want to survive, in addition to relying on the water source they bring, more rely on the power of strong will.

"What a beautiful desert!" The girl's innocence still made them abandon their heavy hearts, and besides, young people eat today and don't talk about tomorrow, where would they care about this, so as the tortoise landed on the shore, several people were very happy to climb on it.

"What a strong sun, sixth child, you also have to take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade, and lend your coat to Miss Zhai!" Liu Yan began to tease as soon as he came ashore, and even provoked the two of them to turn crimson, but Jing Chong was a man after all, although he felt embarrassed, he also felt very reasonable, he was already dark, and it didn't matter if he was sunburned. So he really gave the clothes to Zhai Xingniang.

In a look of envy, Zhai Xingniang put on a wide robe, although she was a person, she was not afraid of anything if she was comfortable.

"Thank you!" At this time, Nie Haiyuan was still on the bank of the river, he stared at the previous whirling turtle, this person and turtle really had a tacit understanding, and the reluctant appearance was really poignant.

"I'll miss you, next time I see you, I'll definitely catch more birds for you to eat!" Nie Haiyuan waved his hand at the tortoise, and the tortoise raised his left foot very cooperatively, and the harmonious picture was really perfect.

After everyone sorted it out, they also said goodbye to the tortoise one after another, and ended a different journey, but the next road was even more difficult.

"I believe that those people in Beisha City will not come here on a large scale, we still have to go to Guzhou next, but how to go!" Nie Haiyuan lost his previous sadness, looked at the direction and said.

"The road to Guzhou is too far and too far, if you want to arrive in Guzhou in March next year, you really need to put a little effort into it, just these eight hundred miles of desert are enough for us to drink a pot!"

"Five months is the time when the poppies bloom, I believe that with our footsteps, it shouldn't be a problem to reach Guzhou before this!" Jing Chong has been calculating the time, originally these messages were told to him by Kong Da, and now with Lu Tianyun and Qi Li, two knowledgeable people, I believe it is not a problem.

"I don't want to think about it so much, our top priority, it should be to find the way, this is the Northern Desert, and it should be the border with Qingzhou to the east, we seem to have deviated a little from the route!" Lu Tianyun has always been calm, he looked at the direction and roughly analyzed it.

"It doesn't matter if it's a little bit, let's go east along the Liusha River, and when we see that we are about to leave the boundary of Beisha City, we can directly cross the Liusha River and reach Guzhou?" Qi Li was still experienced after all, he stood there with his hands behind his back, and also proposed for everyone.

"That's right, walking along the quicksand river, although there is a little risk, but we can also find water sources along the way, which is more advantageous!" Jing Chong nodded slowly, and at the same time his eyes shrank, agreeing with Qi Li's idea.

A few people stopped talking after the discussion, they knew that the only thing they could save in this vast desert was water, so they could be short of water if they said a word.

With heavy footsteps, a few people did not dare to get too close to the river bank, and after going deep into the desert for more than ten miles, they dared to continue to move forward in this direction, the desert was filled with smoke and sand without grass, and occasionally there were so many mole beasts passing through, but these guys were extremely difficult to catch, they all had irregular sand holes, basically came out from here, and instantly drilled into the hole.

They didn't bother to pay attention to this, they walked a long distance with heavy steps, this walk was a whole day, at the end of the day, several people were already tired and unadultly, one by one panting, sweating, and most importantly, they looked at each other and smiled unconsciously.

The sun has already sunk in the west, at this time it has just been night, everyone is tired lying on the desert, not eating or drinking is very uncomfortable, a gust of wind blowing, but can't help but make everyone shiver, the goosebumps on the body are blown out, the slightest coolness is comfortable at first, but with a long time, there is a bitter cold swept over after a while, I feel a kind of shivering.

"I'll go, this was originally tired and hungry, and it was so hot, but it finally cooled down, but it was so bitterly cold, what kind of environment is this?" Nie Haiyuan has never gone out, and he has experienced such a temperature difference between day and night for the first time he has come out, and these people have no experience, so at this time, there is no way except to complain.

"It's so cold! I'm so hungry!" At this time, even the big piece of Hu Yi's knife was frozen and curled, and the knife in his hand was stuck in the sand, shivering one by one.

"It's not a thing to go on like this, so let's do it, I see that there are some mole beasts in this desert, and you should be able to find some dead grass and branches if you look around, let's divide our labor, light a fire, catch a few mole beasts to satisfy our hunger, and it will be warm when we are full!" Qi Li's proposal is very important, he can give everyone direction in the most difficult time every time, so invisibly, Qi Li's position is also very important.

"Damn, I'll take care of catching mice!" Nie Haiyuan volunteered, "And me!" Hu Yidao echoed, these two people smell the same and like to tie them together, so Jing Chong also agreed.

"Then I'll go with Lao Miao to collect firewood!" Lu Tianyun also expressed his opinion.

Seeing everyone moving with their hands and feet, Jing Chong didn't want to be idle, so he stood up, "Then I'll walk in the direction of the quicksand river and see if I can find some water source!"

Jing Chong just stood up, and as soon as the words fell, Zhai Xingniang also stood up, "I'll go too!"

Looking back, Jing Chong didn't know what was going on, he didn't know what was going on recently, Zhai Xingniang always followed him, but he was very happy, so he didn't refuse, just nodded lightly.

Zhai Xingniang smiled knowingly and followed.

Regardless of the others, just Jing Chong and Zhai Xingniang, carrying a water bag, walked in the direction of the south, they only knew that the south was the direction of the quicksand river, and there might be a tributary next to the edge of the quicksand river, so they could only press the treasure on the tributary.

But there are some things that none of them can imagine, this day's rush, although it is said to be along the quicksand river to the east, but the direction of the direction is invisibly deviated to the northeast a lot, and now they are completely deep into the hinterland, and it is not a matter of time or a half to return to the shore again.

Let's go, according to Jing Chong's footsteps, I'm afraid I have walked nearly ten miles at this time, but I can't find a trace of water from beginning to end!

Squatting on the desert, Jing Chong looked a little depressed, everyone was tired on this day, and the water and rice did not fight their teeth, they were fine, and the war qi in their bodies could be maintained for a short time, but most of these companions in front of them were still in the realm of blood and qi, they had already looked embarrassed, and now they had deviated from the route, and all of them were facing a dilemma again, but it was really a wave of unsettled waves.

"Let's look for it again, it's a big deal, just make do with it!" Zhai Xingniang's gentle words came into his ears, which immediately made Jing Chong stunned, he didn't expect Zhai Xingniang to have such a gentle side, and at the same time, under the illumination of the moonlight, he actually felt that the woman in front of him was so beautiful.

Looking at it, he was stupid, but soon he woke up from it, slowly stood up, he forcibly suppressed the floating in his heart, and said, "Well, let's look for it again!"

After saying that, he didn't look back, and walked along the road under his feet towards the east.

"Woo woo" "woo woo"

After walking dozens of steps, a cold voice came into his ears, and the two of them stopped again, Jing Chong glanced at Zhai Xingniang, very puzzled, "Did you hear any sound?"

Zhai Xingniang also stopped and looked sideways at Jing Chong, "It seems that someone is crying!"

After speaking, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, and Jing Chong hurriedly followed, "How can anyone cry in this wilderness and desert?"

Jing Chong said, even his nerves tensed, this vast Northern Desert was originally a strange place, and any kind of danger could happen, there are only two possibilities for someone to cry, one is that someone really suffered a catastrophe, and the other is that he encountered an evil existence.
