Chapter 655: I'm afraid I've arrived in a fake desert
Zhao Guangwu tried his best to get a lot of things, and Wu Jun didn't let him dispose of them all.
For example, camels.
Although he was confident that he would lead three people through the desert safely, he could have two camels to carry things, and Xiao Liu and them should be a little more relaxed.
Naturally, some other materials should be left, but not too much, otherwise it will affect the speed of progress.
This made Zhao Guangwu feel a little better, at least his efforts were not all in vain.
It's just that when he saw the things Wu Jun selected, his heart felt a little bad again.
Salt, chili paste, Sichuan pepper powder, cumin, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, olive oil...... There are also a few small brushes for brushing oil, as well as a pot, a shovel, a kitchen knife, a color board, a kettle, a bucket, a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks, two large bags of charcoal, and a small iron shelf.
Then there are tents, sleeping bags, and personal toiletries.
It's a move in the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.
But master, did you forget to bring a fridge and a faucet?
Because apart from that, there was not a single piece of jerky or buns, or any other food, and there was no intention of bringing water.
It's not that he didn't bring it at all, he saw that Wu Jun had a white gourd, but the gourd was so big that he could drink it in one go, it was useless!
What made Zhao Guangwu even puzzled was that he even prepared a few pieces of plastic sheeting and asked Xiao Liu to cut and sew three simple raincoats with a knife.
He felt that Wu Jun might have misremembered the place, the place they were going to was the desert, the desert, the desert!
Not a rainforest!
With a bunch of spices, he can understand that the Chinese people have traveled all over the world and eaten all over the world, and it is not completely impossible to eat in the desert.
Snakes, lizards, scorpions, etc., and can even eat camels.
What is the operation without water?
However, he had been mentioned by Xiao Liu just now, so although he wanted to ask, he finally held back.
It is good not to bring water, but you can only hold on for a short time in the desert without water, and you can't turn back immediately.
......
Early the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight fell on the vast land, Wu Jun began to set off.
Zhao Guangwu wrapped his bald head tightly, wore sunglasses, and held a map and compass in his hands, adjusting his direction.
He had to be careful, because there were no good references in the desert, so it was easy to get lost, and sometimes after walking for half a day, he would find that he was back in the same place.
By nine o'clock in the morning, the sun began to burn like fire, and everywhere there were dazzling sand dunes, and the sky was high and far away, without a single cloud.
As soon as Wu Jun walked to a place where no one was, he took off his shirt and hat and went shirtless.
He clearly felt that the sunlight here seemed to contain more energy than other places, making his whole body feel refreshed, and at the same time, a tyrannical feeling began to condense in his body.
It's like a tidal wave of energy, constantly washing over each of his cells, allowing them to inadvertently release the stored energy and then absorb it back.
Seeing him so "brave", Zhao Guangwu admired him very much.
He estimated to himself that if he was exposed like this, he would have to lie down in twenty minutes.
It may be that seeing Wu Jun comfortably sunburned, the old monk also took off his turban and began to accept the baptism of this fiery sun.
Wu Jun was slightly stunned, and said in his heart, could it be that this old monk has quickly entered the stage where he can quench his body after cultivating the physical training technique, and now he can absorb the sun?
This is a bit impossible, Fang Heng can't do it yet.
So he smiled and asked, "What are you doing here, not afraid of peeling off the skin?"
"I just wanted to try out what it was like. ”
"And how do you feel?" Wu Jun asked.
"The skin is hot. ”
Wu Jun's eyes lit up, as if there was a play, so he followed up and asked, "And then?"
"Then ......," the old monk felt carefully, "it hurts." ”
Wu Jun: ...... Master, you're very happy with your skin at night, beware that the skin is all sunburned at night.
However, the old monk was obviously better than Xiao Liu and Zhao Guangwu, and he basked in the sun for two hours, and only at noon when the sun was at its strongest, did he wrap his head again.
"Master, what now?"
The thermometer showed that the current temperature was 45 degrees, and the ground temperature was estimated to be more than 60 degrees.
And Xiao Liu doesn't look good, he hasn't drunk water all morning, and he has a little dehydration symptoms, and he doesn't think he can last long.
But the only water, Wu Jun's white gourd, was still hanging from his waist, and he didn't mean to take it out and drink some.
"What to do?"
"We can't go any further," Mr. Zhao said, "and once everyone starts to get dehydrated, it's dangerous." ”
"It's not going to be dehydrated, Wu Jun said, don't you see it's starting to rain over there?"
Rain?
Zhao Guangwu's eyes were bigger than the eyes of a camel, this is the Sahara Desert, how can it be at this time......
No, how is this wind cold?
Zhao Guangwu looked back and saw a huge dark cloud, only a few dozen meters away from them, approaching this side at an extremely slow speed.
He could even clearly see the dense raindrops falling on the dry sand, splashing up a cloud of dust.
And the wind blowing from that side also carried a moist smell.
This...... It's raining!
Zhao Guangwu seemed to have suddenly turned into a sand sculpture, and stood there stunned, knowing that the cold raindrops fell on his swarthy bald head, and then he came back to his senses.
Xiao Liu and the old monk had already put on their simple raincoats, and used the raincoats to carry the rainwater, put a little salt in them, and drank them comfortably.
What a miracle!
Zhao Guangwu sighed in his heart, and he couldn't think about it so much, so he followed Xiao Liu's example and frantically poured himself a belly of salt water.
Soon he felt the temperature in his body drop down, and he was refreshed.
But what the hell is going on, is it still a desert?
He wanted to ask Wu Jun, but found that Wu Jun had already walked far ahead, where it was not raining, and the fiery sun was still shining on his white skin.
"Amitabha," the old monk Jinglin sighed lightly and said, "The little master's mana is strong, the old monk sighs to himself, let's go." ”
Stepping on the soft sand, Zhao Guangwu walked while paying attention to the strange and strange dark clouds overhead.
He didn't know where the cloud came from, for the sky was bare in the distance.
And the clouds seemed to follow them, always floating directly above them, raining down in a trickle.
Coupled with the breeze that had been slightly accompanied, he even began to feel a little cold in this great desert like a flaming hell.
"How about Brother Zhao?" Xiao Liu saw that he kept looking up at the sky, so he came over to chat with him, "I said don't worry, I believe the master must be right." ”
"You mean...... This cloud and rain were made by the master?"
"What do you think?"
This...... Is it really possible?
Zhao Guangwu was a little unconvinced, even if someone in the legend could really call the clouds and call the rain, it would not be able to control it so precisely, and they could still let the clouds follow them.
It's hard for even immortals to do this, right?
In fact, Xiao Liu's surprise in his heart was no less than that of Zhao Guangwu, but as the "old man" beside the master, at this time, in front of Zhao Guangwu, a "newcomer", he must remain calm enough.
And he faintly thought that since the master did not hesitate to perform such a miraculous thing in front of him, did it mean that the master's trust in him had been improved?
Maybe when he returns from this trip, he will officially become a regular member of the master's side?
He has been waiting for this for a long time, and now that it is possible to get his wish, he is naturally very excited.
It's Zhao Guangwu, this guy, who has gained the trust of the master in just a few days, and his luck is really good.
However, it is also very likely that it is because he is the apprentice of Master Jinglin.
After walking forward for another two hours, Wu Jun finally stopped and took out a large pile of chocolates from the Heavenly Master's pocket, which was considered to be today's lunch.
Chocolate is high in calories and easy to digest and absorb, so it is undoubtedly a good thing when there is a lack of food.
But isn't it a bit of a waste to eat so much at once?
"Let's eat first, and we'll make it good in the evening." ”
Zhao Guangwu wouldn't be surprised if Wu Jun got a roast suckling pig now, or poured a few more live fish out of his seemingly small but very capable pocket.
Because in the hottest part of the day, they are in the vast desert and actually feel cold.
He didn't wear a raincoat in time before, his clothes were wet from the rain, and he was blown by the wind all the time, it was really a little cold, and he regretted not bringing an extra set of thick clothes.
He even wondered if he had misread the map and compass and walked into a fake desert.
After a short rest, the four of them began to move forward again.
Wu Jun still walked at the front of the team, basking in the sun at a certain distance from the three of them, and also controlled the rain and wind beads at all times, so that the old monk and the three of them could have a comfortable environment.
However, Xiao Liu's physical strength is still not good, walking in the sand on foot, the physical strength is consumed quickly, and the speed drops sharply in the middle of the afternoon.
It seems that tomorrow morning, we will give him a good workout.
But before that, it's more important to supplement nutrition, chocolate can only replenish calories, but also needs protein and vitamins.
So seeing that the sun was about to set in the west, Wu Jun released the energy of the Heavenly Master, and soon discovered a hidden rattlesnake.
When it got dark, they set up camp in a low-lying canyon with many small bushes, and Zhao Guangwu cut a large area with a knife.
They don't have much charcoal with them, so they rely on these bushes to make a fire at night.
After the sun went down, the temperature dropped quickly, and Wu Jun asked Zhao Guangwu to stew the two snakes he caught, and let Xiao Liu and him eat a little more, and he only tasted two pieces himself.
The old monk didn't eat meat, so he could only nibble on some chocolate.
The first day in the desert ended like this, except for Zhao Guangwu, who seemed to have a little cold, everyone's physical and mental state was not bad.
On this day they walked a total of 40 kilometers, not too slow but not too fast, and at this rate, they would be able to reach the inhabited place in another ten days.
Ten days is not a short time, and it is not a way to just eat snake meat and chocolate, the chocolate is too greasy, and the old monk of snake meat can't eat it.
And for the sake of health and physical strength, he felt that it was better to supplement with some vitamins.
Although he put some ingredients in his pocket when he set off from home, fresh vegetables are not easy to bring and will spoil after a long time.
But it doesn't matter, he can grow it now.
So he walked out of the camp, found a small open space in an unseen place, and asked the system for a few seeds of Heavenly Master cucumbers, according to his experience, Heavenly Master cucumbers have the shortest growth cycle among all Heavenly Master vegetables.
After planting the seeds, he took off the white jade gourd around his waist, watered all the rootless water inside, and then arranged a light bead, a rain bead, and a thunder bead around it.
This helps cucumbers grow and prevents the seedlings from being eaten by small animals.
I hope to produce cucumbers tomorrow morning, but if I can't, I'll wait one more day before leaving.
