Chapter 1: The Soul Challenge

Next Chapter

Near the airport, people carrying large bags of luggage, coming and going, Yun Qi hurried while answering the phone, and finally stopped under the street lamp.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, what can I do, you must know that I am the man who once climbed Mount Everest!"

"I don't care, Yun Qi, if you leave me behind again and go to your so-called soul challenge, I will break up with you!" A squeamish voice came from the other end of the phone, she was Yun Qi's little girlfriend Liu Zhizhi, because her face was round and white, so Yun Qi called her Lychee.

"Break up? Well, since you insist on this, I can't stop it, so I'll be a passerby in your life. ”

The other end of the phone was speechless all of a sudden.

"Lychee, are you listening, it's about to take off here, I'm in a hurry, I'll hang up if I don't speak." ”

"Hey, you're ......"

Without waiting for Lychee to finish speaking, Yun Qi hung up the phone very decisively and put the phone in his pocket.

Yun Qi breathed a long sigh of relief: I finally escaped the control of Lychee! This girl pesters herself every day and has no personal space at all, as an extreme lover with a full spirit of adventure, how can she restrain herself because of a girl!

After sorting out his backpack, Yun Qi hurriedly ran towards the airport. Today's destination, the Sahara Desert!

Yun Qi has already planned this journey, the purpose is not just tourism, food and water are ready, and supplies will be provided at each station, Yun Qi plans to hike the Sahara Desert.

This is an extremely physical test, patience and survival knowledge, and ordinary people can't do it, or even think about it, knowing that the area of the Sahara Desert is about the same as that of the United States.

But for Yun Qi, this is an exciting thing, because challenging nature and challenging the limits is the only joy in his boring life. Hiking across the Sahara Desert, just like climbing Mount Everest, Yun Qi felt the pressure while bringing a strong interest, he even felt that after the physical strength reached the limit, his spirit would increase a little, Yun Qi called it the tempering of the soul, he liked this feeling very much, which is also the main reason why he has always insisted on extreme sports, Yun Qi sat on the ferry while looking at the sea view while thinking about the plan of the journey.

Two hours passed quickly, and Yun Qi came to the vicinity of the Sahara, and after several changes, Yun Qi came to Western Sahara as he wished! There are some small villages here, Yun Qi has prepared enough resources, wrapped in an Arab cloth, Yun Qi put on a turban, carried a stick and went on the road, opened the tourist map, determined his location, Yun Qi took a sip of water. Before leaving, there were many camel rental vendors nearby, as well as many people selling supplies and tourists. Yun Qi didn't pay attention to these, gradually moved away from the crowd, and quietly hit the road.

At first, the journey was relatively smooth, even though the climate was hot and the sand and stones on the ground could bake eggs, Yun Qi still maintained a certain speed and walked a certain distance every day. You should think carefully about the use of water, take a break when you encounter bushes, set up a tent and make a fire at night, look at the stars in the night sky, listen to the wind, and barely fall asleep wrapped in your coat.

The tired body is the best tempering of one's soul.

The sun rises and sunsets, and nine days pass in the blink of an eye.

Yun Qi's face is like earthy yellow, and the whole person is a little thin, but the twinkle in his eyes means that he is still full of energy, in fact, in the past few days, Yun Qi has gradually begun to get used to the climate of the desert, when the temperature is high, he is not reluctant to hurry, to escape the heat, and when the temperature is slightly lower, he walks slowly and cautiously. These nine days and clouds have spent very normally.

On this day, Yun Qi was in a hurry as always, and the slight wind and the large and small sand dunes in the distance made Yun Qi feel uneasy, Yun Qi opened the map and compass, and roughly judged his location. The air was still sultry, and after a while, the clothes became slimy with sweat, the sun became more and more scorching, and the air was a little distorted by the high temperature, Yun Qi walked slowly for a while, and after a lot of effort found a horse tree, he went into the shade of the tree, put some water in his throat, and rested for a while.

The tense spirit just now eased slightly, but there was a series of chaotic sounds in my ears, and when I turned around, I suddenly found a rattlesnake staring straight at me under the shade of the tree!

The tail stood up and rattled incessantly, warning itself.

Yun Qi suddenly became interested, this rattlesnake is meat! Roast it a little and sprinkle it with some salt grains. I haven't eaten anything else in the past few days except for some compressed food and a small amount of water.

So I was a little excited to see the rattlesnake, at this time Yun Qi and the rattlesnake were only less than three meters away, Yun Qi hooked his body and slowly retreated. The rattlesnake didn't want to fight, staring at Yun Qi, and the retreat was very obvious.

Yun Qi's hand had already turned his back and took out the dagger tied to his waist, ready to kill him with one blow.

The rattlesnake began to retreat at a certain speed, but suddenly its pupils shrank like pinpoints, and it retreated frantically, as if it had seen something fearful.

Yun Qi secretly said strangely, and his hand immediately reacted, "Huh", the dagger came out in response, and suddenly nailed the rattlesnake to the sand, this hand has been accumulating for a long time, and it should have been nailed to the seven inches of the rattlesnake, but it was disrupted by the momentary movement. However, it also pinned the rattlesnake, and the rattlesnake's body kept curling around the dagger in resistance. Yun Qi immediately mended the knife and cut off the head of the rattlesnake.

Dinner is in hand!

Yun Qi packed the rattlesnake and put it in his backpack, rested for a while, and after the sun was not so scorching, he sprinkled urine on his turban, put it on, put it on his backpack, and started to hurry.

Yun Qi soon noticed that something was wrong, and began to have a small wind that continued to be there, and then the wind suddenly stopped. It seemed that he had guessed something, and the more Yun Qi thought about it, the more scared he became.

Luck doesn't go that way, does it?

Just as he was thinking, the sun's rays suddenly descended, the heavens and the earth changed color, and on the other side of the dune, a huge yellow-gray sand curtain overwhelmingly pressed towards Yunqi. The yellow sand is rolling, and the momentum is compelling!

It's a sandstorm!

"Damn! such a big sandstorm!" Yun Qi ran away, but it happened suddenly, and he was very tired along the way, so Yun Qi was soon buried in the yellow sand.

There is yellow sand all around, and constantly drilling into Yun Qi's body, his eyes can't be opened at all, Yun Qi covers his mouth and nose with a turban to block the influx of yellow sand, and with the memory of the time, try to go as high as possible.

But the hurricane was getting bigger and bigger, and Yun Qi's whole person felt that he was about to be swept away, so he hurriedly leaned down and walked close to the ground.

I was really angry in my heart, it was good, but such a big sandstorm suddenly broke out for no reason, why did I encounter it?

As soon as he thought of this, the whole person was swept up by the wind, and Yun Qi turned his head and squinted his eyes to look back.

The tent in the backpack was blown up by the wind and swelled in mid-air, the tent was tied to the rope and the other end was stuck on the backpack, and Yun Qi's whole person was instantly taken up and flyed.

Damn! How did the zipper open!

Yun Qi was shocked, at this time, the person was already very high from the ground, and if he untied his backpack and returned to the ground, he would definitely fall half-crippled, and if he fell crippled in the desert, he would be sentenced to death!

With reluctance and hatred, Yun Qi made a middle finger towards the sky, and then was dizzy by the sandstorm.

The sandstorm lasted for nearly two hours before gradually subsided.

An open sandy land, as far as the eye can see, the yellow sand everywhere can be seen at a glance.

A hand suddenly struggled out of the sand, supporting the surface, and then Yun Qi's entire body slammed out, bringing up bursts of sand and ash.

I gulped in the scorched air, followed by a flurry of retching, nothing else, but a lot of sand vomiting. Physically exhausted, he sat down on the sand. The thirst in my throat was about to emit green smoke, and I tried to imagine all kinds of delicacies to squeeze out a little saliva to moisten my throat, but there was no saliva at all. There was nothing else on his body except clothes and a turban tied to his head. I don't know where the backpack went, everything is still in it.

The sudden sandstorm stunned him

Yun Qi slowed down for a while and quickly stood up, backpack! Find backpack! There is still water in the bag!

He had a lot of questions, and he didn't even have the energy to think about it, why did it suddenly blow up such a big sandstorm, and why did it last so short?

Now the most important thing is to live, water!

Yun Qi was powerless, his willpower was strong to support his actions, and his physical strength was unbearable at all, and he didn't see the shadow of half a backpack when he turned around nearby.

Buried in the sand!

Yun Qi walked forward very decisively, he couldn't delay here, the risk was too great, the ghost knew if the backpack was here, the sandstorm swept by, and looking for the backpack was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Yun Qi couldn't tell where he was anymore, the long footprints dragged straight, even if he was dizzy, the next moment it seemed like he was going to fall, Yun Qi walked forward unswervingly, all supported by the unyielding qi, Yun Qi believed that his soul was the strongest, strong enough to conquer nature.

Time is passing, Yun Qi doesn't know how long it has been, every minute in the Sahara Desert is torture, not to mention now, every second is reminding the body not to fall.

Until Yun Qi's eyes were not far away, something strange appeared, it looked like an altar made of bluestone! How could there be an altar in the desert?!!

The moment he saw the things in the altar, Yun Qi couldn't care about anything anymore, there was water inside, the water of the altar!

At that moment, Yun Qi burst out with unprecedented strength, and ran desperately towards the altar, taking three steps and making two steps, and fell down in front of the altar, even if it looked suspicious, but Yun Qi couldn't care so much, and if he didn't drink, he would really die.

Yun Qi licked a little with the tip of his tongue, and after feeling that there was no strange taste, he began to drink it in a big gulp.

I didn't even notice that a tiny black dot inside the altar burrowed into my mouth and was swallowed in one gulp!

After a while, Yun Qi stopped, and the water was gone!

It felt like just a few sips, and the water from the altar disappeared.

But Yun Qi felt that he was in excellent condition at this time, full of energy, and felt similar to when he first came.

The more Yun Qi thought about it, the more strange it became, the sudden sandstorm, the mysterious altar, and the water......

There are strange things about this desert.

As soon as I thought of this, I looked at the altar, and it was already in the void and reality, as if the reflection in the water was about to dissipate in the next moment.

Yun Qi stretched out his hand to touch the altar, but a breeze blew and the altar dissipated......

Am I hallucinating? No? I did drink water......

Combined with the previous series of strange events, coupled with the sudden disappearance of the altar, Yun Qi, who was alone in the desert, suddenly felt a little scared, and at the same time a little excited, this is a supernatural event! He was actually encountered by himself! If he can solve this mystery, it will not be in vain.

But the key is that it is difficult to protect himself, he can't find his direction, he has no food, he is unarmed, and he is alone......
