A little more than an hour later, scorching the desert hinterland. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"There's a problem!"

Pang Xiaodou, who had been walking in the opposite direction of the compass pointer, finally felt that something was not quite right, and suddenly stood in place and said to himself, "The Scorching Desert is quite big, but according to the scale of the world map, the length of crossing the entire Sand Sea is actually about the same as the length of Death Knell City to reach the Scorching Desert. ”

"It only took me about 50 minutes to walk from Death Knell City to the Scorching Desert, and from entering the Scorching Desert to now, it has been more than an hour, if the direction of travel has not changed, let alone finding the temple, I should have walked out of the entire desert......"

Frowning and thinking, Pang Xiaodou began to recall what the mayor had said:

"We lost our way in the desert and were trapped for more than a week, running out of water and food with us......"

"But at that time, our compass had long since failed, and the reason why we got lost was actually because it was ......."

"We fled from the wilderness, and after escaping from this oasis, we didn't expect to be lucky enough to find the original route......

After all this information was strung together, Pang Xiaodou suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake, and that mistake was overconfidence, because overconfidence led to underestimating the power of the scorching desert.

It's also thanks to the fact that in the game, if it were in reality, it would be enough for him to die in this sea of sand.

Now think about it.

The compass in his hand is indeed a key clue to the search for the temple in the desert, but it is also a huge trap!

Assuming that after entering the desert, the direction of the compass is set in stone, and the mayors of the town have been traveling in one direction, even if the NPCs may not have the same speed as the player's actual movement, it is impossible to be trapped for more than a week, let alone find the temple after more than a week.

So, until they found out that there was a problem with the compass, they had actually been going around in circles in the scorching desert!

In other words, it is very likely that there is not only one magnetic field in the scorching desert, but multiple magnetic fields at different times, thus forming a maze of death that I don't know whether it is naturally formed or artificially created, leading people who use the compass to distinguish the direction in circles and eventually die in the sea of sand due to insufficient supplies?

Only in this way can the experience of Mayor Tong and his party be explained.

And they were able to escape in the end, because they finally discovered the anomaly of the compass, and when they fled, they panicked and walked out of the desert by mistake.

"My guess needs to be verified to prove it!"

Thinking like this, Pang Xiaodou no longer marched, but marked a radial straight line on the world map with accurate north-south pointing according to the direction pointed by the current compass, with his current position.

Then he stared intently at the compass in his palm, paying close attention to its subtle changes.

Sure enough, just a few minutes later, the compass's hand began to turn slowly, shifting about 60 degrees to the left little by little, before finally stopping.

If you don't pay close attention, it's really not easy for ordinary people to notice its changes.

"Just a 60-degree change, without forming a non-stop loop, is not enough to guide people to go around in circles forever, it will definitely change!"

Pang Xiaodou still marked a straight line on the map according to the direction pointed by the compass and his current location.

"There should be at least three or more magnetic fields to circulate them...... And I have to find out the number of magnetic fields, and the laws of how they work......"

Pang Xiaodou continued to patiently observe the changes in the hands of the compass.

After another hour like this, the direction of the compass changed 6 times, and Pang Xiaodou finally came to a conclusion: "There are a total of 4 magnetic fields!" ”

"The law of operation of the magnetic field is not clockwise or counterclockwise, it is simply a random start......"

"And with me as the radial point, the 4 lines marked out, 2 of which coincide into a straight line, and the other 2 are on the left and right sides of this straight line, although they do not coincide, but the angle formed when they intersect with the previous overlapping straight line is exactly the same!"

"So ......"

"These four magnetic fields actually form a neat square!?"

"And right now, I'm standing on one of the folded lines of this square!?"

Pang Xiaodou closed his eyes and kept talking to himself, guessing the location of the acupuncture points in his heart according to the conclusions he had obtained.

"Coupled with the irregular operation of the four magnetic fields, if someone gets lost in them, they will only get closer and closer to the point where the two halveed lines of this square intersect, which is the very center of the square!"

"Now...... I can only find out the orientation of the four magnetic fields, and I don't know how far away they are from me, so I can't tell how big the square formed by the four magnetic fields is, and I can't immediately find the intersection of the two broken lines. ”

"But luckily, now I'm on a polyline, just follow the one I'm on now, and go in the direction where the other two lines intersect the polyline at a lesser angle......"

"That intersection will be found!"

"The temple and the acupuncture point, there is a good chance that it is in that location!"

"Walking ......"

It is a very complicated job.

Not only does it contain a lot of metaphysical gossip that ordinary people don't understand, but sometimes it also requires some scientific theoretical knowledge, just like Pang Xiaodou's analysis principle, which is actually classified as a category of geometry.

……

I walked for nearly twenty minutes according to my own guess.

Climbing over a huge sand dune, an inspiring paradise emerges.

This is obviously the oasis that the mayor described!

The area of the oasis is only the size of a football field, and a small lake not much bigger than a fish pond is there, and around the small lake, there is a green meadow, and near the meadow grows several huge crooked-neck fruit trees, and on the fruit trees hang some fruits that Pang Xiaodou can't name.

And next to these fruit trees is the ruined temple.

The temple occupies nearly half of the oasis, and a large circular dome is supported by the remnants of the sandstormed walls that have left strong signs of weathering, and a large stone statue can be seen in the middle of the temple through the ruined stone walls.

I don't know if it was vandalism or what the reason was, but the head of the stone statue was gone......

"Haha, this is it!"

Pang Xiaodou exhaled and ran towards the temple with joy.
