After that, the trip went on as usual, and this time they didn't encounter any animals in the desert, and they walked calmly.

Team Leader Zhao said that in fact, their trip to the desert this time was quite smooth, after all, they did not encounter the most unfortunate water shortage in this scene, and there were really no problems except for the long distance and time.

However, when it came at three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Linyuan suddenly shouted: "Oh no, there is a sandstorm ahead!" ”

Everyone: What!

This sandstorm is definitely a very annoying natural phenomenon in the desert, because it is possible to completely bury people in the sand, or lighter, blow away all the water bags and food on the person's body, and then it is basically the same as waiting for death.

At the moment, He Ningzhou was relatively calm, and said: "It's okay, let's put all the water bags in the storage equipment, and then run towards the place away from the sandstorm, how long will it take to come?" ”

Xu Linyuan had now seen the sandstorm appear on the edge of the shooting frame, and he roughly calculated, "At the current speed, it will come over in less than ten minutes." If you want to run, you should go that way. ”

He raised his hand to the right.

"Then run!" He Ningzhou said and directly prepared Shen Xinghe, "Run fast at the maximum speed!" ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and ran out, Shen Xinghe was really embarrassed on his back, and he didn't know if the hearts of the other team members would be very unbalanced.

It is said to be the "maximum speed", in fact, Heningzhou is basically the same as the others, they ran for a few minutes and then looked forward, the shadow of the sandstorm appeared in the distance ahead, the place has turned yellow, and it is still expanding at a very fast speed.

"Run!"

He Ningzhou shouted again, the only way at the moment is to stay as far away from the center as possible, the wind at the edge will be much smaller, at least there is no risk of burying them in the sand, and soon they can already feel a strong air current, and the earthy yellow is expanding at an extremely rapid speed, almost making half of the sky have no other colors.

After another half a minute like this, they could already feel a strong wind blowing towards them, their hair immediately scattered and fluttered, and they could barely open their eyes, He Ningzhou immediately put down Shen Xinghe, and then hugged her and fell to the ground, "Lie down!" ”

Then Shen Xinghe felt that he was firmly pressed by someone, no, it should be said that he was under his protection.

The boy's hand hugged her tightly, except for the smell of sand, she could hardly feel the presence of the wind, and Shen Xinghe didn't know if he opened the enchantment to protect them, in short, he didn't feel much damage, except for lying on the ground to make it difficult to breathe.

She opened her eyes and raised her head slightly, and saw that the front was basically completely covered by yellow sand, and she couldn't see even a little other color, as if they were buried deep in the yellow sand with a wild dance, and never saw the light of day again, this feeling was actually very terrifying.

Shen Xinghe still closed his eyes and buried his head tightly in the arms of the boy next to him.

She didn't know how long it was, but she finally knew that the boy said, "Okay, it's over, you can get up." ”

Shen Xinghe raised his head again, in fact, the shadow of the storm could still be seen in the distance, but the scenery around them was basically back to normal, Xu Linyuan looked at the route, they were now a little deviated from the normal route, but it didn't matter, as long as they walked over there.

"Oh my God," Zhao Yixing patted the sand on his body with palpitations, feeling like he had taken a sand bath, "This wind is really powerful." ”

Their companions are more or less dirty, but Shen Xinghe looked at He Ningzhou and felt that his appearance had not changed much, in fact, this person had not changed much since he came to the desert, and he had the same light and breezy appearance throughout the whole process.

They had put everything in storage before the Sandstorm arrived, and they didn't have any losses now, so they quickly got back on their way.

"Brothers and sisters," said their leader, "we are all frightened to-day, and tonight we can go to bed from eleven o'clock and sleep until seven o'clock in the morning, so that everyone can have plenty of rest, and hopefully by then we have gone two-thirds of the way, and the rest will be very simple." ”

Go to bed......

Now mentioning this matter really made Shen Xinghe dare not look at that boy at all.

A certain boy held her hand, and even looked forward to it, Shen Xinghe really wanted to say to him, he didn't want to sleep with him tonight!

They didn't encounter any more obstacles on the rest of the way, it was getting darker, they ate and drank water as usual, and at ten o'clock, Xu Linyuan told them that they had reached two-thirds of the way and that they could reach their destination by holding on for another day.

Rao is Shen Xinghe was tired again and couldn't help but cheer up, but soon his body was crumbling again, and he almost fell on the boy next to him.

He Ningzhou helped her, but they still insisted on walking for the hour, and then they started to sleep again.

He Ningzhou looked at the girl again, her lips today were much more chapped than the previous two days, and she didn't know if it was because of the sandstorm, but it was really unpleasant to look at it, and when she wanted to lean over again, a finger suddenly appeared on her lips, and the girl who seemed to have fallen asleep opened her eyes and said clearly but firmly: "Don't kiss me." ”

He Ningzhou smiled and held her hand, "Then you come and kiss me, and then I'll help you get it, the effect is the same." ”

"What are you kidding!" Shen Xinghe couldn't bear it anymore, "What do you think our relationship is always like this?" ”

The boy blinked, a little inexplicable, and said, "Does this have anything to do with what the relationship is?" I just like it. ”

The castle was already in sight, and they picked up speed uncontrollably, and finally arrived at the castle at about half past eight.

At this time, the boy from before appeared in front of them again, "Congratulations on successfully completing the first stage of the challenge, then please enter the castle, go to the second stage, and help me find a book called "Thunderstorm", and after finding it, you will pass this mission." ”

After saying that, he disappeared again, leaving them behind and inevitably looking at each other a little.

"This," said the team leader a little helplessly, "then let's go in now?" ”

"Let's go inside." There is really no other way in Hening Prefecture.

As they entered the castle, they were greeted by a very spacious hall with two stairs leading to the second floor on each side, but they could not see the view from the upper floors for the time being.

There was a huge crystal chandelier on the top of the hall, and it was obviously a great place for a ball, but at the moment they were looking for a book that knew the meaning of the title, but had no idea if there was such a book in the world, and it was quite difficult to be in such a house.

"Do you think your drone will work?" Zhao Yixing asked Xu Linyuan.

"It works, but only if it's in a place where my drone can see it," the boy said, "and if it's in the study and the study is closed, then I won't see it." ”

"In that case, let's use the drone to look around as we go," He Ningzhou said, "We're going to look at the study now, I think this task is either to put things in the place where we can find them, which will be done by the drone, or we will get some clues to help us find it, and we will have to do some tasks or fight monsters or something." Team leader, what do you think? ”

"I think you're quite right." Team Leader Zhao said, "Then according to what you said, Linyuan, you use the drone to observe all the places you can see at present, and then we will go to the study." ”

"No problem." Xu Linyuan said, and then looked at them, "Do you know where the study is?" ”

Zhao Yixing and He Ningzhou: "......"

"Forget it, I'll help you find out where the study is first." Xu Linyuan released the drone as he spoke, and by the way, he searched for the shadow of a book on the road, and found that whether it was the hall he saw at present, or the stairs and corridors he saw all the way to the second floor, the layout of this place was neat and interesting, and there was no place where a book suddenly appeared.

He saw a lot of closed rooms on the second floor, and he didn't know which one was the study for a while, so he went to the third floor again, only to find that a sign was clearly posted on the door of a room on the third floor, which read: study.

But now that the door to the study was closed, their team leader led them to the third floor.

When he arrived at the door of the study, Zhao Yixing was still a little hesitant to knock on the door, but he still pushed it open, and the study was not locked as expected.

They thought that there would definitely be no one in this place, but as soon as they entered, they saw a little boy who was also about five years old sitting there reading a book, so frightened that Zhao Yixing almost crashed on the door.

"Well, excuse me," he said quickly, "we're here to find a book." ”

At the same time, I can't help but wonder if there are still people living in this place? But why didn't you light it up last night? It can't be because they're all asleep......

"Feel free." The kid said.

"Thank you," Zhao Yixing nodded, thought about it and asked, "Can I ask you a question?" If we can't find it here, can you give us a clue? ”

"What book are you looking for?" The boy asked.

"It's called Thunderwind."

"Then you can look here first, and if you can't find it, go to the second floor, which may be placed in the room. But I would like to remind you a few words, first, some of the doors are locked, and some of them are unlocked, and if they are locked, you don't have to try to get in, because they certainly don't. If you don't have a lock, you can enter. ”

"As for the rooms that are not locked, if you still can't find them after you go in, you can go and find a painting with a full-body portrait of a man, and there is only one room where you can see it, and you will know where you are going next when you take it down."

"In addition to this, I would like to remind you that you may walk around this house as you please, but you must not touch anything other than the book and the painting you are looking for, and if you do, the consequences are immeasurable, and I am sure you will not want to take the risk."

The cold sweat on Team Leader Zhao's forehead almost burst out when he said this, and said, "Thank you, we know." ”

Then they searched in front of the bookshelf, and at the same time, Xu Linyuan was also using a drone to search, and as a result, they searched for several rows of bookshelves and thousands of books here, and they couldn't find the target one, so they had to quit with the boy.
