Chapter 111: Death Desert
Quicksand Village.
This is a village located on the edge of the Wind Country, and if you step further from here, you can enter the Wind Country.
As you can see from the map, the Land of Wind is located to the west of the Land of Fire, and it is a very interesting country, and the entire country is very large, which can be called the largest in the world.
However, more than eighty percent of the territory of the Land of the Winds is covered in yellow sand, and it looks desolate, and less than half of the area is an oasis.
At the same time, the oases are unevenly distributed, like an irregular ribbon, surrounded by the vast majority of the people of the Wind Country, bringing life to this desert of death.
In this place where it seems absolutely impossible to give birth to human civilization, the Wind Country, one of the five great powers of the ninja world, was born, like a giant beast, domineering in the west of the world, facing the prosperous world outside, always eyeing the outside, as long as there is an opportunity, it will rob.
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.
The desert is lonely, and walking in the desert is even more lonely.
The sand is highly endothermic, absorbing the high temperature of the sun for a whole day, and all of it accumulates in the body, exuding a blazing heat, and even the air is distorted.
Not to mention, when a person's shoes are stepped on, it is simply an ordeal.
Chiba and his party followed Jiraiya, set off from Konoha Village, got up early and slept late all the way, and did a rapid march, and it still took half a month to come here.
At this moment, at this moment.
They wore white robes, wrapped themselves tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes outside, and a layer of white silk scarves and hats wrapped around their heads, which can avoid the scorching sun to the greatest extent, and also minimize the evaporation of water vapor in the body, which can preserve their physical strength well.
They were already sweating profusely with the scorching sun above their heads and their feet on the hot sand.
Chiba's throat moved up and down, only to feel a burst of heat in his throat, which was uncomfortable with thirst.
Chiba looked into the distance, and in his sight, there was an unchanging desert.
Chiba originally thought that Quicksand Village, as a village on the edge of the Land of Wind, should be easy to find, but they had already been walking for a whole day, and they hadn't found it yet!
But don't forget, they are ninjas, not ordinary people, and they can travel many times faster than others.
Not to mention the village, they didn't even see a bird shadow when they came down this day, except for the desert, it was still a desert, which could drive people crazy.
One can imagine how big and desolate the country of the wind is!
Chiba secretly wiped his sweat, and now he finally understands a little, why there were big bulls like Senju Tsuruma and Uchiha Madara in Konoha Village back then, and they didn't dominate the ninja world.
Even if these two big bulls didn't turn their faces, the two of them worked together, and they didn't want to accept this kind of place where birds don't.
Isn't this a deliberate toss!
Comparatively speaking, the Land of Fire is simply a paradise on earth, with mountains, water, and trees, which can be called perfect!
It's no wonder that other countries always covet the territory of the Fire Country, and if it were Chiba is the Wind Country, they would also be eager to annex the Fire Country!
Who would want to be in such a hellish place!
From the fairyland of the land of fire to a ghost place like the country of wind, Chiba really can't stand it!
So, Chiba asked Jiraiya, who was leading the way in front:
"Lao Shi, why haven't you arrived in Quicksand Village yet?"
"Hmm......" Jiraiya frowned, took out a compass from his arms, looked at it, and muttered for a moment, "It should be that there is nothing wrong with this direction!" ”
Chiba approached and leaned her head on it, but found that there was something wrong with it, snatched it from Jiraiya's hand, and shook it vigorously.
Then, something awkward happened.
The pointer hasn't been touched at all!
"Ahem, ahem!" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jiraiya's face, "It seems that this compass is broken." ”
Everyone: "......"
Jiraiya's face is becoming more and more embarrassed, although he became a shinobi at a young age, but sometimes he still seems inexperienced.
Obviously, this compass was good at first, but I don't know when it broke down, so that Jiraiya took this team and lost his way in this desert.
The corners of Chiba's mouth twitched fiercely, "It's okay, I also brought a compass." ”
However, when he took out the compass, he was immediately stunned.
Because, his compass is also broken!
At this time, Jilai also took out the backup compass and came out, but was shocked to find that even the backup compass, I don't know what was going on, it was actually broken!
"That's not right!"
At this moment, even a fool knows that there is something wrong with this!
How could it be so coincidental that the compass they were carrying was broken?
It's not a coincidence, it's a coincidence, but for some reason!
For a while, a depressing dullness shrouded everyone's heads.
At the same time, Chiba also carefully noticed that these compasses all pointed in the same direction.
There is only one possible explanation for this, and there is a very strong magnetogravitational field around here, which causes the action of these compasses to fail!
Obviously, everyone present also thought of this at the same time, and frowned one by one.
Magnetic gravity is not a rare thing in the Hokage world, just the wind shadow of the Sand Hidden Village, and the third generation of the wind shadow alone, have a special constitution that transforms chakra into magnetism.
At this moment, an exclamation came from Hinata Hinata's mouth:
"Oops!"
"1 kilometer ahead, there is a huge sandstorm coming!"
Hinata Hinata has the advantage of white eyes, so he acts as a scout for the team, and with white eyes, he can see the dangers around him one step ahead.
At this time, hearing Hinata Hinata's exclamation, everyone present suddenly felt a tightening in their hearts!
Without him, in this endless desert, the power of nature will be geometrically improved, and manpower is simply a mantis arm as a car in the face of the power of nature, and there is no way at all!
Even if he is a ninja, after hearing the news, he changed color again and again!
Because in the desert, one of the most dreaded natural disasters is a huge sandstorm!
In the event of a huge sandstorm, a ten-mile radius will turn into a realm of death, leaving the living unapproachable!
At the same time, the most worrying thing is that the landscape of the desert is easily changed by the wind, and once a huge sandstorm blows, the familiar place will become completely unfamiliar, so you can't find a place that is similar to it!
If the compass is out of service, they will be completely lost in the desert!
Unless they find an oasis, they will starve to death of hunger and thirst!
