Chapter Eighty-Five: The Desert Road
The next day, the two carefully checked the desert equipment in the space ring, and then said goodbye to He Bing and the three early, set off from the courtyard, and walked in the direction of the desert.
In the iron city, there were not many passers-by walking on the street, and there was basically no sense of obstruction, so they walked to the gate of the city with a familiar car, and then walked through the armored soldiers towards the desert.
Above the distant sky, the sun had just emerged, and in the desert, it was not too hot, and there was even a hint of coolness, but both of them knew that this coolness would be replaced by heat if it lasted less than a quarter of an hour.
"Brother Xuan, where do you think we should go?"
Looking up at the sky, Li Yayi asked.
The time for this trip to find desert relics will not be too short, and there will be no shortage of special circumstances, so Li Yayi did not specifically ask to walk in the cold.
"To the east, it's a little closer than the other roads, but it's the same on either side, and you see on this map, all the possible points are in the middle of the desert. ”
Hearing Li Yayi's inquiry, Kong Xuan took out the map, pointed his finger at the points in the center of the desert, and said.
"Good. ”
Hearing this, Li Yayi responded, his knowledge in this area was not as good as Kong Xuan, and his analysis in the inn really surprised him, so he would not have any objection to Kong Xuan's decision.
The two of them determined the direction and headed eastward, but even if the point on the east side was the closest, it would take them about twelve or three days to travel on their feet.
This time, the direction in which the two of them were heading was not too remote, and in the sand willow group resting on the way, they could occasionally encounter some travelers and mercenaries in the desert.
The two sides just nodded their heads in greeting, but they didn't say more words, and what caused this to happen was obviously Li Yayi's good aura.
However, no one stepped forward to talk to the two of them made them more relaxed, and after resting, they continued to move forward.
And when he was advancing in the scorching desert, Li Yayi wanted to use the ice attribute spiritual power to cool down Kong Xuan, but Kong Xuan refused, on the grounds that this bit of suffering was nothing to him, and he didn't want to be comfortable all the time.
Kong Xuan's almost masochistic reason also made Li Yayi can't help but pout, and simply doesn't care about him anymore.
His ice attribute spiritual power, used in the desert during the day, is not only weak, but also basically has no possibility of recovery, can use less, he can't be happy, since the guy next to him likes to masochist, then let him go...
The two of them walked for a few days, and they also found that the deeper they went to the desert, the fewer the sand willow groups became, and even in the next few days, they couldn't see the sand willow groups at all, and in the originally silent desert, the wind and sand gradually became common...
......
In the vast desert, the wind and sand are blowing unscrupulously, two neat figures, slightly bowing their heads, protecting their foreheads with their hands, facing the wind and sand, slowly walking, behind the two people, rows of footprints caught in the yellow sand, also gradually eroded by the yellow sand, deep and shallow, and then faded, and finally disappeared.
The grains of sand brought up by the wind and sand, like small iron grains, kept hitting the bodies of Kong Xuan and the two, making a snapping sound.
The two of them walked against the wind and sand, and they didn't know how long they walked, until a sand dune appeared in front of them, and the two stopped and hid their bodies on the leeward side of the dune, but in this desert, even this only reduced the impact of the wind and sand, and could not completely avoid the wind and sand.
Sitting on the sand, the two of them invariably took out a large bucket of water from the space ring, poured a few mouthfuls into their throats, and then squinted their eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Xuan, how long are we going to go?"
Putting the water bottle into the space ring, Li Yayi said with a wry smile on his face.
"It's been eight days now, and at the speed at which we are moving forward in the wind and sand, it will take at least five days. ”
Compared with Li Yayi, Kong Xuan's expression was very indifferent, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, took out the map, measured it slightly, and said.
"Well, I didn't expect this desert depth. The wind and sand are so big, the march will be so slow. ”
Hearing this, Li Yayi couldn't help but sigh bitterly.
"No, it's a good thing to have wind and sand, Brother Li don't forget that the entrance and exit of this ruin changes with the wind and sand, it doesn't matter how many days we walk in the wind and sand, Dongfang Mu corresponds to the early morning represented by Yin Mao, so we only need to reach the direction indicated on the map in the early morning to reach the entrance of this ruin. ”
For Li Yayi's bitter sigh, Kong Xuan shook his head, and then his finger pointed to the line of small words on the edge of the map, adding:
"And there is a note on this map, every time the desert ruins appear, it will exist for three months, and it has only been less than a month since the ruins appeared, and when we reach the ruins, there will be at least a month and a half of treasure hunting time, so it is harmless to be slower. ”
"According to Brother Xuan, we don't need to be too anxious"
Listening to Kong Xuan's long list of explanations, Li Yayi's heart was also slightly relieved, what he was afraid of was delaying time.
But even so, he was still a little worried in his heart, before this, he had inquired about the news, people with special sand attribute spiritual power can also find the entrance to this ruin, which is not unusual There will be some people in groups, hiring these abilities at a high price to find the entrance to the ruins for them.
People die for money, birds die for food, this relic is like a big fat sheep, in order to compete for this fat sheep, there will be a pack of wolves to fight.
Compared to these wolves, he and Kong Xuan were a little lonely.
"Brother Xuan, I have a hunch that our trip may not be peaceful."
Thinking of this, Li Yayi couldn't help but say the question in her heart.
"It's okay, don't think about it, Brother Li, let's rest for a while, let's go on." ”
Kong Xuan smiled faintly, not careless.
Hearing this, Li Yayi also sighed bitterly, he found that in this desert, the first person who couldn't hold on seemed to be him, a person with ice attribute spiritual power...
The two men stood up, their arms on their foreheads, and walked forward again.
This walk, another four days have passed, and in these four days, the wind and sand have never stopped, even at night, it is still the wind and sand raging, so that the two people who are resting have a lot of trouble, for fear that after waking up, they will be buried in the sand...
On the afternoon of the fourth day, the two of them continued to move forward against the wind and sand, and when they came to a sand dune, suddenly, Kong Xuan's footsteps stopped, and they quickly leaned down and looked down.
In the field of vision of the two, they saw a long procession, with heavy steps, moving in one direction.
There were about twenty people in the team, two in a row, and at the front were a man and a woman.
Kong Xuan's gaze swept over the two of them, and finally paused on the woman.
This woman is about twenty years old, and although her pretty face is not very handsome, she is also very beautiful, but at this time, there is some arrogance on her beautiful cheeks.
The woman was not wearing the broad robe, but a tight-fitting leather garment on her upper body, which outlined her delicate and beautiful body to the fullest, and a small leather skirt on her lower body, the hem of which reached to the knees, so that the half of her bronzed slender calves were exposed to the air.
What made Kong Xuan's eyes focus on this woman was not the woman's beauty, but he noticed that the yellow sand on the woman's arm was swirling around it, faintly, like an arrow, pointing in a direction, which was exactly the same as the direction in which Kong Xuan and the two were going.
"That woman, I'm afraid it's the special sand attribute spiritual power hired by this team"
Seeing this, Kong Xuan and Li Yayi glanced at each other and muttered in a low voice.
