Chapter 2 Walking in the Sand Sea

Barrett, who was walking on foot, had stumbled on the soles of his running and jumping boots and stumbled on 'sand shoes', which resembled 'snow shoes'.

With the help of this targeted prop, he would not be wearing a suit of armor anymore, and every step he took would sink deep into his knees on the soft sand.

It is to follow the direction of the wind and walk up the sand beam and sand slope.

Barrett, who was in the midst of the wind and sand, carefully tested the softness of the sand in front of him with the iron rod in his hand.

After all, for Barrett, he doesn't have the means to effectively combat a certain type of quicksand right now.

Suddenly, Barrett felt the force of the crutch in his hand loosen, and with the help of the wind behind him, his whole body had a tendency to fall forward.

Immediately a squat to stabilize Barrett, followed by a backwards.

It was only then that he realized that the pathfinder crutch in his hand seemed to be stuck by something.

It's not easy to pull it out of the sand in front of you.

Barrett, who had long been aware of the situation, immediately settled down after experiencing the initial doubts.

Facing the powerful 'mud pool' in front of him, Barrett knew that a powerful force was not the most appropriate way, so he lowered his body and pulled the 'pathfinder stick' in his hand slowly outward.

When the stick in his hand was freed, he leaned down and grabbed the sand from the land in front of him with his hand.

As a result, they leaked like running water between their fingers.

Barrett, who carefully licked his fingers, just reached an extremely bitter salty taste: "Phew! Bah! Bah! Looks like it's going to take a different path. This is the most ingenious mechanism that nature has devised is not something I can easily deal with! ”

Barrett then continued on the road more cautiously, and he walked up and down the dunes step by step under the scorching sun.

It only took a few minutes to follow.

The traces that had been left behind disappeared under the cover of the wind and sand.

The forces of nature covered Barrett's tracks, and no one could have noticed that a traveler had ever walked here unless he had a specially trained hound.

But if any other desert traveler found out about Barrett's actions, they would be amazed - even for the busy caravans, the midday heat in the desert was an insurmountable obstacle.

The hottest hours of the day.

They tend to pass the time only in the shade with a nap.

And after sunset, they have a good environment to hurry up and move forward - like many animals in the desert, the harsh environment makes them choose to stay in the day and go out at night.

However, in this wasteland of life, you can occasionally see a touch of life.

As a seasoned adventurer, Barrett will never destroy any vegetation in the desert if he doesn't have to, a common rule for desert travelers, and this small cactus can be a lifesaver for some.

As I walked, the sun that had hung high in the air slowly set, and the 30-mile journey was often not a day to complete, even on the trade route.

In the current desert, it takes several times as long.

After a few moments, the sun, which had been spewing away from the heat of the day, began to cling to the ridge line of the sand dunes to the west.

The original yellow and white earth was lined with a dull and dull layer, revealing a layer of dark brown crimson.

After a day on the move, Barrett began to eat to replenish the day's provisions.

After a 'bubble', sweet water immediately gushed out of Zhang Xixi's 'endless water cup'.

After slowly swallowing them, Barrett took out pieces of dry food from the 'endless food packet' that looked like sawn blocks.

Barrett, who stuffed them into his mouth with water and chewed them, immediately had wrinkles crawling on his forehead - this thing could fill his stomach and replenish the nutrients needed by Nissan in terms of taste.

It's harder to eat than emergency dry food.

It tastes like chewing on a pile of tasteless scraps of paper.

But at this moment, the wind and sand suddenly rose.

A moment later, a strong wind struck, and the sand flew up, and the sky was dark, turning everything around it into a world of sand.

In this environment where you can't see your fingers, the consequences of walking alone are likely to be completely buried - this three-ring spell that 'flashing' is constant on Barrett's body for the first time shows its due value outside the battlefield.

Barrett, who had been hiding in the Aether plane for most of the time, minimized the impact of the wind and sand on him.

After nightfall, the violent wind and sand finally got tired, and Barrett, who still didn't feel the slightest sleep, relied on his dark vision ability.

Continue your hike through the empty sea of sand.

The 'pathfinder' had now taken the form of the 'Holy Sword of Physics' (crowbar).

Whether it's a scorpion crawling out of the ground, or a poisonous snake lurking behind a rock waiting to sneak attack, they are all under the iron hook of this 'holy sword of physics'.

Know the time of the moon in the middle of the sky.

Barrett had only set up his tent and sprinkled his surroundings with drugs to repel snakes and insects - it was a fatal mistake to venture out and sleep too heavily when there was no one to keep vigil.

Even in the town's inns, you have to be on the lookout for arrows in the shadows.

The danger in this wilderness has increased exponentially.

If you can have a teammate on duty at this time, the situation will be much better.

Fortunately, the magic sleeping bag is a targeted curiosity that can relieve the fatigue accumulated from light sleep on a certain course.

However, this approach is by no means a long-term solution.

Finding a safe place to rest is Barrett's top priority.

The next morning, after continuing to nibble on the tasteless 'shredded paper', Barrett continued on his way.

It is also in the middle of the sun.

Barrett spotted a small black dot in the sky.

Suddenly remembering something, he opened his eyes wide and looked at it, after the focus of his pupils changed.

The black dot also clearly revealed its true face.

It was an eagle, a common black eagle in the desert.

However, Barrett's gaze was far sharper than that of ordinary people, and he faintly saw a dark shadow hanging under the black hawk.

"That shadow seems to be a rope. If I'm guessing correctly, this must be a domesticated eagle. And that rope was used to tie the eagle when it was on land. ”

Barrett, who touched his chin, immediately made his own judgment, "If I remember correctly, this kind of falcon generally does not go too far from its owner. That is, there are other intelligent beings nearby. ”
