Of course, Yang Yi will not tell Nimuke that he is the king of Daguang Shu, first, he always feels that this young man named Nimuke has something to hide from himself, although he doesn't know what it is, but since he has concealed it, it must not be a good thing, and secondly, in this deserted place, there is actually no difference between the king of Shu and the beggar, and living is the real goal.

Therefore, Yang Yi told Nimuk that he was also a child of the Daguang Shi clan, and when he was playing in the Northland, he encountered a sandstorm and got lost and walked to the Sea of Death.

Nimuke didn't ask too many questions after listening to Yang Yi's narration, but Yang Yi could see that Nimuke, like himself, didn't fully believe the other party's words.

But in any case, the two are now grasshoppers tied to a rope, and asking each other about their details actually doesn't help much in the real sense of the word.

"It's impossible to go back, the sand bandits don't dare to enter the Death Desert, but they will definitely wait for us at the edges, and if they go out, they will be caught in the net." Nimuk looked at the boundless sea of sand and calmly analyzed the future path of the two.

Nimuk pointed to the bright North Star in the sky to the north, and said: "It is not possible to go north, the desert there is more than a thousand miles, and even if we go out, what awaits us is a barren grassland without any traces, and we only have a horse and a few dry foods, and it is absolutely impossible for us to get out alive." ”

Yang Yi just looked at Nimuk and didn't express his opinion, he didn't have any experience of desert survival, compared to Nimuke, Yang Yi felt that he was more like a burden, if it wasn't for Pan Qi, maybe he wouldn't even be able to get out of the Gobi Desert, let alone this even more desperate death desert.

Thinking of Pan Qi, Yang Yi couldn't help but glance at the far east, he may be dead, maybe alive, if he dies, he will sleep forever with his astray faith, if he or, maybe he is the same as Yang Yi at this time, is looking at the far east, where the clouds and mist of Jiuxiao Mountain are still shrouded.

"Let's go south."

Nimuk's voice interrupted Yang Yi's thoughts.

"Heading south? But as far as I know, the desert in the south is wider than in the north, can we get out there? Yang Yi wondered.

"Of course we can't get out, no one can cross the entire sea of death." Nimuk laughed, "But there is a place where we can live." ”

"Where?"

"Gumo Ancient Kingdom, one of the sixteen countries of the Western Regions."

The desert is a place where life stops in anyone's eyes, because water is necessary for the survival of most creatures in this world, and human beings are certainly no exception.

But there is one thing that humans will be superior to all creatures on the planet, and that is adaptability. Strong adaptability has made human beings the masters of the earth, and has also allowed human beings to create one brilliant and brilliant civilization after another, whether it is in the cold ice pole land, the doubt is in the hot and dry desert, and now there is a human persistence in survival, even in the vast ocean where human beings cannot reach, they also fantasize that there is a powerful human civilization at the bottom of the sea.

Yang Yi saw this powerful human adaptability in Nimuk, he could dig a sand pit in an inconspicuous place, and then the sand inside would become moist, and then dig deeper into the sand and the water would slowly leach.

Nimuk Water is a gift from the god of the desert, an experience that has been unearthed by countless generations, and most people who have been in the desert for a long time can rely on these experiences to find scarce and precious water or food.

When Yang Yi watched Nimuke grind off the skin of a piece of cactus layer by layer with a wooden stick, leaving a small part of the white juice "tender meat", and then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, Yang Yi thought of the man named "Bei Ye" while grunting his saliva.

However, when he saw Nimuke at this time, Yang Yi knew that Bei Ye was a novice in survival in front of this young man named Nimuke, because Bei Ye went to eat it to entertain the public, and Nimuke was really to survive.

Of course, Nimuk didn't always succeed, and once he dug more than a dozen sand pits and found no trace of water, and by this time the two had little water left, so they had to keep their water to a minimum in order to find the next source of water.

There was only one horse, and it was the last hope of the two, and even if they were very hungry, no one offered to slaughter the horse that had saved their lives.

Saying that they are grateful, maybe neither of them will believe it, they only know that when they have difficulty enough to eat horse meat and horse blood, then the day when they will bury their bones in yellow sand will not be far away.

At the beginning, the two would talk a little, Yang Yi would tell Nimuk some interesting things he didn't know about Daguang, and Nimuke would tell Yang Yi about the ancient history of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions.

From Nimuk's mouth, Yang Yi learned that the ancient country of Gumo they were going to was one of the oldest countries in the Western Regions, standing in the southeast of the Sea of Death, and was one of the few countries where the city was built in the heart of the desert.

The reason why this ancient country has survived to the present day is believed by many to be the blessing of the god of the desert, because the country of Gumo was built around a large oasis.

Even in Yang Yi's previous life, people still believed that the oasis was actually a temporary favor from God to creatures, and that it could be taken back at any time, perhaps because of the desert flowing, perhaps because of a sand storm, or it could dry up on its own unconsciously, and that there were few oases that lasted for a long time.

And the oasis of Gumo seems to have been favored by the gods, it has existed for hundreds of years, he has raised the people of the entire Gumo country, and because of the protection of the desert and the uncontrollable nature of the oasis, few people are willing to invade the Gumo country, which also makes Gumo, this small and medium-sized country in the sea of death and the chaotic land of the Western Regions can continue peacefully.

Nimuk told Yang Yi that reaching Gumo was the only hope for the two of them to survive, and that his family had trade contacts with the Gumo royal family, and that once they got there, they would get delicious food and delicious wine.

Yang Yi knew that Nimuk was giving himself hope to live, in the desert, hunger and thirst are not terrible, what is terrible is the despair that makes people unable to see the edge, once the despair will stop, then death will not be far from you.

Later, maybe the two had nothing to talk about, or maybe in order to conserve their strength, neither of them talked anymore, but just bowed their heads silently and hurried.

The two of them left a long, long footprint on the flat sand, but soon these steps were eroded by the flowing sand, and only the sun above their heads, which seemed to never set, never changed.

PS: Finally updated,,, there have been some changes in the family recently, so I delayed for half a month, and I would like to express my deep apologies to all of you.
