Chapter 213: Desert Ruins
Fangyuan Desert, at a glance, everywhere is monotonous yellow, not even a single tree, the vastness of the desert makes Tingshu and his party feel very tired, as if they can never go out.
In fact, this is just an illusion, they have only been in the desert for a short time, but the surrounding environment has had a deep impact on their psychology.
Tingshu is the first time to go to the desert, which is quite novel and weak at the same time, right...... Aside from the elf Reggie Lock, the desert didn't interest him in anything.
It was nearly noon, the sun was rising high, and the desert was smoking, and by this time, Tingshu had already drunk a large bottle of water.
"How far is it?" Earring trainer Ziyuan said in a hoarse voice, it was too uncomfortable, and the sand was blown from time to time, this is simply not a place for people to stay!
"I ...... I can't hold on anymore......" The dark-skinned Ah Da wailed, even if it was a trip in the past, walking for a few days in a row, it was not as painful as walking in this desert for half a day.
"These four animals ......" The two of them stared at the other four with wide eyes, and they were extremely surprised.
Mahime, Shi Tai, and Awen are just three people, and they should have been dealing with this environment all year round...... Ke Tingshu, this guy, except for his boring expression, almost didn't show the same pain and helplessness as them.
"I'm convinced!" Zi Yuan poured saliva, his eyes suddenly flickered, and he hurriedly said: "Look, the tree... Tree ......"
"What kind of treeβ" Mahime looked over, in the infinite desert where the sky was blue and the ground was yellow, and there was no other color to be seen except blue and yellow...... A little bit of greenery emerged, making everyone rub their eyes.
The first to react was Mahime, who said, "That's supposed to be a grass elf thorn ball cactus, look, is it moving?" β
A few people looked over, and sure enough, the greenery was constantly shuttling in the sea of sand, and there was a touch of yellow on the green's head...... It is the sign of the thorn ball cactus.
"It turned out to be not a tree...... Ziyuan said quite boringly, I thought I would see something new, but I didn't expect it to be an elf.
"Hehe......" Shi Tai said: "I should be glad to encounter a thorn cactus in the desert." β
"Why?" Ah Da and Zi Yuan were puzzled.
Both of them were ordinary trainers, and their field experience was naturally not as rich as Shi Tai's, and in the face of this statement, they immediately had doubts.
"Huh...... Tingshu, aren't you curious? Arwen looked at the indifferent Tingshu and asked.
Tingshu lifted his goggles, "I know, but we brought plenty of water, and the thorn cactus didn't help us that much." β
"Huh?" Ah Da and Zi Yuan are still puzzled.
"Hmm... Tingshu knows a lot. Mahime was surprised, and then explained to the other two: "Due to the special nature of the body of the Thorn Cactus, their body is extremely suitable for storing water. β
"Without any water, and with the storage in their bodies, they can live in the extremely hot desert for at least a month."
"So if you go into the desert by mistake and don't have enough water, be lucky when you encounter a cactus with a spiny ball, the water in its body can be broken down, and it can completely save people's lives when necessary."
"And the spiny cacti are abundant in the desert, if they walk in the desert...... This means they have enough water. Tingshu added.
"One more thing, unilaterally asking for a thorn cactus won't divide your water... Water is also an extremely important thing for themselves, unless they encounter that kind of particularly friendly thorn ball cactus, they can only be subdued and negotiated......" Shi Tai said.
The three members of the adventure group talk about the Tao, analyzing how to use the surrounding environment in the wild.
Tingshu was also listening, although he knew something about this, plus some knowledge of elves that the cultivator knew...... Although I can have some insights into some aspects, after all, it is not as real as what others have experienced.
"It's almost ......"
Looking at the map, Mahime gestured a few times, connected a route, and said in surprise: "The front is the 'desert ruins'!" β
"Really?!" Several people were overjoyed.
The desert ruins are where a few people go.
In the Great Desert of Fangyuan, there are more than 10 ruins that have existed since ancient times, but Reggie Rock can only exist in one of them.
And after entering the desert, it is difficult to determine the direction and location, but fortunately, although the desert is large, as long as you go in one direction, there is enough water and food, and with the help of the elves, there is still hope to come out.
"Is this it?" Shi Tai asked.
"Not sure...... But following the hints of the ultra-ancient texts we got from those two places, we sketched out the four most likely routes, and here is one of them! β
"A quarter chance......."
The so-called desert ruins are similar to caves, made entirely of stones, covered with windblown sand, and look dark and gloomy, giving people a bad feeling.
"Whoosh-"
When they came to the entrance of the ruins, several people had not yet entered, and everyone with the garden tree was startled by the sudden shadow.
"It's a pangolin, don't be nervous." Seeing the strange patterns in the sand, Tingshu immediately spoke.
"I knew that...... It must be an elf......" Zi Yuan scratched his head, obviously still haunted by what had just happened.
"Stay vigilant - next, we'll all need to put a small, nimble pokemon next to us to keep us safe."
"It's dark inside the ruins, we have to be careful, and most of the wild elves in the desert ...... Almost all of them inhabit the ruins, so we must not be sloppy, we are intruders, and some elves are not very friendly! Awen said.
Ah Da released a hat mushroom and followed him.
Ziyuan released a mountain king...... and this kind of scene inexplicably matched.
As for Tingshu, he just nodded, and the dream demon had already followed him when he entered the desert.
"My pixie is wrist power...... Don't underestimate it, it's been bred specifically to destroy obstacles...... Whether we can travel smoothly depends on it. Shi Taidao.
Tingshu looked at the past, the muscles of this wrist strength hand were very developed, not inferior to ordinary strength, and the hand was wrapped with drug bandages, it seemed that he attached great importance to hand maintenance.
"Come out, natural bird." Mahime also called out her elf, and she said, "My natural bird can predict danger, so let's be safe...... But you have to rely on it. β
"Huh...... Although I am a trainer in the Adventure Party, my pokemon is it...... Electric fireflies. Ah Wen hugged a fat bug and said, "The next road is very difficult to walk, and it is not suitable to hold flashlights and other foreign objects in your hands...... But with the help of the electric fireflies, our path will be brightβ"
