Chapter 297: Journey of Death VI
Wu Wei looked at the desert merchant and said, "No matter what, I must pass through the Death Desert as soon as possible and reach the Savage Land, it is impossible to accompany you back to Shazao City and reorganize the team." ”
The desert merchant thought for a moment, and then said, "Those water spirits are of little use to you, and you are in a hurry to go to the Wild Lands, you see, how about we make an exchange." ”
The desert merchant said and took out a quaint golden compass from the space necklace and said, "This is the compass located in the Savage Walled City, I hope to exchange it for those water spirits." ”
"I'll keep a quarter of it as a reward, and I'll give you the rest." Wu Wei took the compass without waiting for the desert merchant's consent, and left three-quarters of the water spirit on his body on the ground.
The desert merchant was noncommittal, and after ordering his subordinates to pack up the water spirit, he began to plan a return route and no longer paid attention to Wu Wei. Wu Wei carefully observed the golden compass in his hand, this compass seemed to be a long time away, the ornaments on it were already a little blurred, and the target was about six hundred kilometers away from here. Wu Wei quietly probed that the compass that was located in his arms to locate the desert merchant was still valid, and then he said to the desert merchant with confidence: "Farewell, if it goes well, we will meet again soon." After saying that, he disappeared at the end of the desert.
The desert merchant looked in the direction in which Wu Wei had disappeared, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Wu Wei probed the compass in his arms while moving forward rapidly, and after running for nearly an hour, he finally left the sea breeze belt. To the heart of the Desert of Death: the Moving Sand Sea.
Being in the sea of moving sand is really like being in a sea of sand, there is a wind of more than 10 levels blowing here, and the yellow sand is like a wave of sand under the convolution of the wind, slapping on the human body, if it is not for Wu Wei's strength attribute to reach 262 points, it is almost impossible to move an inch here, even if you use the charging skill, the speed can only barely reach sixty kilometers per hour. In the end, he was exhausted and could only lie on the ground and wait silently for his strength to recover.
Wu Wei crouched on the ground and felt that the yellow sand under him was like the sea, slowly rippling up and down, and it didn't take a few minutes for Wu Wei to sink into the yellow sand under him, he could only struggle to climb out, and wondered in his heart: "Can the desert merchant and the camel team really cross this moving sand sea?" Or another time when it's going to be quiet. ”
Wu Wei was thinking about it, when he suddenly felt the wind and laughed a little, and after another half an hour, the wind gradually weakened into a storm, and it was not until dawn that the wind that moved the sand sea finally stopped.
Wu Wei exerted his strength with his feet, jumped out of the yellow sand that had already submerged to his chest, and looked in all directions, all he could see was the rolling sand dunes, which were not fixed, but flowing slowly. It lives up to the name of moving the sea of sand.
Wu Wei took advantage of the good weather, according to the direction indicated by the compass, and soon came to a huge sand dune, was about to raise his feet to climb up, but felt that his feet were empty, still stepping on the flat ground, the sand dunes in front of him were like an illusion, and did not exist.
Wu Wei stretched out his arm and tentatively grabbed the sand dunes in front of him, but felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the sand dunes like a small mountain had completely disappeared, and there was a smooth road in front of him.
Wu Wei didn't have time to think about it, and continued to speed up, how did he know that after a while, he felt that his feet stumbled, and his body fell forward, and before Wu Wei lay on the ground, he felt that his hands were lying on a gentle slope, and he was thinking in his heart: "Is it another illusion?" But I found a sand dune more than 40 meters high, lying in front of me.
Wu Wei had no choice but to climb hard and continue to move forward. But just after walking for a while, the wind rose again, and Wu Wei could only rush against the wind, so Wu Wei stumbled, and finally slowly approached the target marked by the compass.
At a distance of 100 kilometers from the target, the ground began to flatten, and some rocks could be seen on top of the yellow sand. The wind also gradually subsided, and there were several small oases on the way, Wu Wei just cleaned a little and continued to hurry, and after another fifty kilometers, he could already see huge rocks corroded by the wind and sand, and a huge stone city in the distance gradually appeared at the end of the horizon.
Wu Wei stood at the top of the stone peak, looking at the stone city in the distance, and his heart was happy, the target indicated by the compass in his hand was there, and that should be his purpose this time: the barbaric walled city.
Wu Wei jumped down from the stone peak and rushed towards the stone city at an accelerated speed, along the way, the closer Wu got to the target, the more he felt that something was not normal. Wu Wei didn't see half a person along the way, and there were no footprints or ruts on the sand under his feet, as if no one had been here for hundreds of years.
There was a large oasis ten kilometers away from the Wild City, and Wu Wei searched carefully when he got closer, and he didn't find any traces of human activity, which was very strange. Wu Wei faintly felt that the stone city in the distance might not be really a barbaric walled city, but at this time, he had already arrived here, no matter what city it was, he had to go over and take a look.
Wu Wei continued to use his charging skills, and soon reached the front of Shicheng. Seeing the two broken city gates, Wu Wei was completely deflated, and it was clear that there was a dead city in front of him.
Wu Wei walked into the city from the gap between the city gates, the whole stone city was silent, it seems that this place has been forgotten for thousands of years, from the buildings in the city can be seen that this was once prosperous, the scale of the city is not smaller than the Fuxing City, the tall stone buildings, standing on both sides of the wide central street, but now these stone buildings are only left with an empty shelf, and the holes in the windows seem to be one eye silently watching Wu Wei.
Wu Wei walked along the central street towards the central square of the city, many of the houses near the city center were damaged, and occasionally one or two huge bottomless holes were seen on the ground, these holes were more than 20 meters in diameter, and I don't know how they were created.
Wu Wei arrived at the central square, where he was lucky to find an old tree of life. Wu Wei did not know that the tree of life in front of him had survived for thousands of years, and although the branches and leaves were still luxuriant, the vicissitudes of time could be seen from the wrinkled trunk.
Wu Wei gently stroked her hand on the tree of life, feeling endless sadness, she seemed to be lonely here for a thousand years, silently guarding this dead city alone.
Wu Wei was carefully experiencing the emotions of the Tree of Life, but he felt that the body of the tree trembled, and then a warning came, urging Wu Wei to leave immediately. Wu Wei was about to try to communicate with her, but found that the Tree of Life was coming from a sense of despair at this time.
Wu Wei suddenly felt cold in his vest, even in this scorching desert, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and he immediately shivered.
Wu Wei turned around slowly, only to see a huge hole not far behind him, and slowly poked out a red head, this kind of head was too familiar to him, because not long ago, he cut off an unknown number of them, but at this time the head in front of him was too huge, it was a sandworm with a diameter of more than twenty meters.
