Chapter 27: The Simple Compass
When the guards heard what the Eight Sages King said, they all had to make a decision.
Indeed, that's a lot of money.
Moreover, if you have a hundred miles teleportation charm, you should be fine.
Seeing this, the young general hesitated for a moment and said, "I really hope that someone can go in to help the girl, but there are some things I have to say in advance." ”
When the guards heard the young general say this, they all looked over.
The major general said: "You should not have been to the Death Desert, so you don't know the horror of the Death Desert. There are many reasons why the Desert of Death is a place of death. Among them, there are three of the most critical, I hope you have considered them clearly. ”
"One, there is no water in the desert of death. It doesn't rain three hundred and sixty-five days a year. There is only a boundless stretch of yellow sand, and there is no living creature to be seen beyond it. ”
"Second, the temperature difference between the day and night in the Death Desert is too great. The temperature during the day is enough for the potion to be stewed, and at night, even freshly boiled hot water can form ice sculptures in the blink of an eye. If you want to travel, you can only travel at night and wear thick enough clothes. ”
"Third, the yellow sand of the Death Desert is boundless, and because the sand and dust are so large, the sun cannot be seen most of the time, and the direction cannot be distinguished. ”
The major general glanced at the guards and said, "Everything that should be said has been said." If you think you can overcome this, go inside!"
After the young general finished speaking, the faces of the guards were extremely ugly.
Isn't this just looking for death?
Kiki's face turned pale.
The Eight Sages looked at Kiki with an embarrassed face and said, "Kiki, there is really no way to be a father!"
At that moment, one of them suddenly said, "Give me all your water and clothing, and I can go in and have a look." ”
Everyone turned their heads in unison.
It's Cheng Mubai.
Deng Ping lowered his voice and said, "Brother Master, you are looking for the rhythm of death!"
Cheng Mubai ignored Deng Ping, looked at the Eight Sages King and the young general, and said, "I want all the water and large pieces of warm clothes." ”
The Major General and the Eight Sages looked at each other.
The Eight Sages King walked up, took out three mink furs from the storage ring, handed them to Cheng Mubai, and said, "Is this okay?"
Cheng Mubai put three mink furs into the storage ring, and said, "Water!"
Seeing this, the major general hurriedly asked all the soldiers to put the kettle away.
Cheng Mubai put all the kettles in it, and there were only enough for thirty.
The Eight Sages King hesitated for a moment, then handed over two hundred-mile teleportation talismans and said, "Boy, everyone is reluctant to go, and your willingness to sacrifice your life is enough to show that you value the chief disciple of the Sword Listening Pavilion." For such a person who values love and righteousness, this king will tell you about the sect. You hold both of these 100-mile teleportation talismans. ”
Cheng Mubai was also not polite, and took two Baili teleportation talismans, one for the storage ring, and the other for dripping blood, and handed them to the Eight Sages King.
The Hundred Miles Teleportation Charm is a high-level thing, and it must be dripped into the essence blood to be sensed at any time.
This is completely different from low-level sigils.
Seeing that the Eight Sages King had collected the hundred-mile teleportation talisman that dripped his essence blood, Cheng Mubai squatted on the ground and dug a small hole.
He took out a kettle from the storage ring and poured all the water into the pit.
Lowering his head and watching the clear water in the small pit calm down, Cheng Mubai picked up a dry leaf from the ground and gently put it on the clear water.
Then, take a sewing needle out of the storage ring and rub it over your hair.
In the two years that Cheng Mubai has traveled, he has been poor and white.
In order to accumulate spirit stones to buy various materials for making talismans, especially the flying sword and the second-grade martial arts technique "Imperial Sword Technique", he was frugal.
Usually I am reluctant to eat meat, and I am even more reluctant to buy clothes.
Wherever the clothes are rotten, he can just sew them up himself.
I have to say that he is very grateful for his frugal behavior today.
This sewing needle is the absolute reason why he is willing to risk his life to go to the desert of death today.
Everyone looked at Cheng Mubai's series of actions, and they were all a little confused.
The Eight Sages King was curious: "Boy, what are you doing here?"
Cheng Mubai still didn't pay attention to the Eight Sages King.
He doesn't want to get in trouble!
After living in the Cana Star Domain for two years, he knew very well that there was no such thing as a compass in this world.
If you say it, people like King Yu Baxian and the young general will definitely pursue the roots.
Seeing that Cheng Mubai didn't even pay attention to the Eight Sages King, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Although the Eight Sages King was a little unhappy, he didn't have an attack immediately.
Cheng Mubai wiped his hair with a sewing needle for nearly thirty breaths before placing the sewing needle on the dry and calm leaves.
The leaves turned slightly, and then stopped.
The direction of the needle point of the sewing needle is pointing out of the desert.
Cheng Mubai put away the sewing needle, and then walked quickly towards the Death Desert.
Kiki chased after him and said, "I'm going too." ”
Cheng Mubai didn't even stop his steps, and directly refused: "I'm sorry, I don't want to bring a burden." ”
"You!" Kiki stomped her foot in anger.
Seeing this, the Eight Sages King laughed, walked up and pulled her back, and said, "The Death Desert is full of dangers, and my father will never let you go. ”
Qiqi snorted coldly, pointed at Cheng Mubai and said, "Wait for you to come back, see how I clean you up!"
Cheng Mubai traveled all the way.
It didn't take long for it to get dark.
As the major general said before, when it comes to night, the temperature is frighteningly low.
Cheng Mubai had to put on a thick mink fur and shrank his whole body into it, leaving no exposed places at all.
Eyes included!
As for how to identify the direction, it is to rely on the spider puppet of the previous plant before him.
By manipulating the spider golem, he discerns direction and danger.
Fortunately, as the major general said, there is not a single living creature in this desert of death.
The next morning, when the sun came out, Cheng Mubai stopped.
He buried himself and his mink fur in the sand.
Then, every half hour or so, four ice talismans are cast.
Mink fur is used for insulation.
The sand was hot outside, and if it weren't for the mink, he suspected that he would be roasted soon!
And the ice charm is used to make ice cubes.
Ice cubes are placed inside the mink fur, maintaining a relative equilibrium of temperature.
After persisting like this for three days, on the morning of the fourth day, when the sky was bright and the temperature was kept within an acceptable range, Cheng Mubai once again made a simple compass with a kettle, leaves, and a sewing needle to make sure that he was not going in the wrong direction.
He hesitated.
Of the thirty kettles in the storage ring, only seventeen remained.
Can't go any further.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have died in this desert of death.
Thinking of the situation caused by the chief disciple Yu Tian carrying the black pot for himself, Cheng Mubai sighed secretly.
I said that no matter how much help anyone gave me except my parents and wife, I would not die for him.
Senior sister, I'm sorry, I'm a man who keeps his promises.
Hold on for another half day.
If I can't find you, I'll have to turn back.
That hundred-mile teleportation talisman can only be saved.
After making a decision, Cheng Mubai continued to walk towards the depths of the Death Desert.
This time, he had only walked about ten miles before he saw a huge pattern.
The pattern of a sword.
However, the degree of the pattern is very shallow, and it will be covered with yellow sand at any time.
Cheng Mubai was overjoyed.
The person who can leave a pattern here, or a sword pattern, should be the chief disciple!
And it's not too far away!
Cheng Mubai suddenly quickened his pace.
Sure enough, half an hour later, he saw two figures.
A young woman and a ten-meter-long snake!
At this time, the young woman walked around with the big snake, and with the traces of the big snake's movement, she carved the pattern of a long sword in the yellow sand!
