"They, they're !!!"

Everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't say a word in shock.

The group of zombie monkeys that originally rushed up actually retreated!

Ballohad touched his hair, and his eyes lit up.

"I know, Chen Tao's little brother was saved by Mongotos's divine bead, so there is still the breath of Mongotos in his blood!"

At this time, Chen Tao knew that the black bead was actually used to save his life.

He touched the blood on his face and muttered, "No wonder that zombie monkey was scared of that after cutting my face, if it's really like what Commander Barlow said, then we don't have to worry about these things anymore." ”

"Anyway, they're back, let's go!" Liang Shaokai touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was almost scared to pee just now.

He didn't want to die in a place like this.

"Let's go, whether we can get out or not is still unknown. There is no shop in front of the village here, and if you get stuck here, no one will dig you up if you become a fossil. ”

Chen Tao settled down and continued to climb up.

It was pitch black in the tree hole, and every time I deliberated, a foul smell poured into the mouths and noses of several people, and the lungs were blocked as if countless sand had been inhaled.

Chen Tao and the others have climbed for so long, but they have gradually adapted to the smell.

Several people continued to go up in the direction of the growth of the rhizomes of the demon willows, and almost every rhizome was hollowed out by the zombie monkeys, and some had even been dug into the sand.

Fearing that the sand holes would collapse, several people did not dare to drill into the sand holes, but followed the thick branches all the way up.

They are very fast, and no one wants to stay in such a closed place for a long time.

When you're tired of climbing, stop to catch your breath and then go back up.

Chen Tao didn't know how long he had been climbing, until a glimmer of light appeared in front of him, and he was still habitually looking for the forked tree hole.

The place that came out was on the top of the canopy of an incomparably thick tree, and one side of the main trunk was broken, revealing a large hole less than half a meter thick, and half of the sand had been buried in it.

It took a lot of effort for a few people to get out of the narrow hole in the tree.

Looking around, the originally vast Forest of the Necrons was now left with only some bare thick tree trunks, scattered and stretched into the distance.

There are no clouds overhead, the sun is still hot in the sky, and the hair of the sun is curled.

Chen Tao never thought that the scorching sun above his head would be so kind.

"It seems that the storm has stopped, and Tatunaan is buried in the sand again." Ballohad shielded his hand from the scorching sun overhead, and there was an indescribable complexity in his eyes.

He looked around, and finally knelt down at the end of a barren sand dune, and leaned reverently on the somewhat hot sand, silent for a long time.

Seeing his movements, Chen Tao and the others also raised their eyes and looked in that direction.

Under the scorching sun, the sand dunes are undulating, low and high, glowing with a faint golden light in the sun.

No one spoke.

It took a long time before someone spoke.

"What do we do next?" Liang Shaokai grabbed his hair like a chicken nest, and tightly held the backpack with a lot of things in his hand, as if he was afraid of being snatched away.

Chen Tao looked at Ballohard.

"My men are outside the Maze of Maca, go meet them and take you out of the desert." Balohad looked in the other direction, "If we can get out of here alive." ”

At this time, their position was still within the range of the Forest of the Dead, and a few people sorted out the few supplies in their backpacks.

The most precious thing in the desert is water.

And the sum of them is only a small half pot, and each person is only enough to drink a few sips.

As for what to eat, several people rummaged through their backpacks and found only a bag of compressed biscuits.

"It takes at least three days to get out of here." Balohad Road.

"Forget it, if you can come out from under the bottom alive, you will already be Amitabha." Haozi divided the compressed biscuits in his hand into four portions, "Come, let's eat them separately." ”

"Yes, I can hold on." Chen Tao endured his exhaustion and squeezed out a smile as much as he could.

In the case of water and food cuts, three days is already considered the limit.

What's more, the physical strength of several people is already running out.

They took a break, and each of them ate only a small bite of a biscuit and a small sip of water.

And then there's hell.

At first, Chen Tao thought that three days was nothing, but the next day, the thirst and hunger already made him feel unbearable.

The sun was blazing, and without the shelter of the canopy, people were so naked exposed to the scorching sun, their throats were dry as if they were about to crack, and there was only one thought left in their minds.

Get out there!

By the time they arrived at the Maze of Maca, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

The labyrinthine maca maze was also buried in the sand at this time.

The stone pillars of the large and small stone mounds that originally stood are only a few small raised sandbags, and occasionally you can see some isolated stone pillars, looking at the past from a distance, it looks like countless tombstones are inserted on the sand dunes.

Ballohad was at the front, standing on top of a towering sand dune to make out the direction.

Under the scorching sun, the sand churned with heat, and the eyes were colored with a halo of color.

The people with strong lights and heat waves couldn't open their eyes, and Chen Tao already felt that he was about to die.

The stomach was already hungry and unconscious, and his mouth was like a fire, and his throat was dry and he couldn't say a word.

Chen Tao didn't know how he managed to make it to the early morning of the third day.

At the moment of sunrise, I saw countless black shadows swaying at the end of the sand dunes.

"Haven't you gone out yet......."

Looking at those black shadows, Chen Tao couldn't help but feel a little desperate, and he didn't know how many lonely stone pillars he saw along the way.

Everyone has reached their limit and could fall at any moment.

Finally, Liang Shaokai, who was walking last, was the first to fall, his body rolled along the sand slope several times, and the backpack that was originally held tightly by him finally took off his hand and rolled down the sand dunes with him.

"Liang Shaokai....." Haozi muttered, not paying attention to being mixed by Liang Shaokai's body, and also fell down, without movement.

"Haozi, Liang Shaokai!" Chen Tao moved his cracked mouth, his face was full of dry skin, "Commander Barlow, how long will it take to .....?"

He's at his limit.

Before Balohad could answer, his eyes went dark, and Chen Tao had already fallen uncontrollably.

In a trance, it seemed that someone shouted a few words, and then his body seemed to leave the sand.

Then, there is nothing to be learned.

Clanging Bell .....

When Chen Tao opened his eyes again, he seemed to be sitting in a cradle.

It took him a long time to get used to the shaking of his body, and there were some faint human voices in his ears.

"Am I dead......."

Chen Tao tried to open his eyes, only to find that he was lying on the back of a camel.

"It's ......"

Looking at the few people around him who were wearing white robes and wearing masks on their chests, Chen Tao suddenly woke up.

It's them, the Guards!

We are saved!

Chen Tao struggled to sit up, and soon, someone spotted him.

"Are you awake?"

"Great, he's awake, tell Lord Barlow!"

Someone handed over a kettle, Chen Tao pursed his chapped lips, raised his neck and poured two mouthfuls, choking him to cough.

The water that the guards gave him was salted.

When people are dehydrated, the balance of body fluids and electrolytes in the body is destroyed, and a large amount of sodium and potassium ions are lost, if you drink a lot of water, the concentration of sodium and potassium ions in the body will be lower than the normal level, resulting in hyponatremia, and even direct death.

Although it has a little salty taste, Chen Tao feels that this is the best water he has ever drunk in his life.

He had never been so possessive of water and wanted to soak himself in it.

"It's okay, don't drink too much!"

A man reached out and snatched Chen Tao's kettle, and when he looked up, it was Balohard.

"Commander Barlow, you're alright!"

"Well, don't worry, the two of them are fine, fortunately we met Tolk and them in time, otherwise, we would all be dead."

Chen Tao solemnly saluted the guards around him, if it weren't for them, he might not be able to get out in this life.

"Where are we going?" Chen Tao asked.

"Let's go to our place to recuperate and recover first, and then find a way to get you out of here."

"Well, thank you Commander Barlow."

With camels, food and water, Chen Tao felt like he had come to life again.

Soon, Haozi and Liang Shaokai woke up one after another.

The group rode camels through the desert for a day and a night before they came to the place they had spoken of in Balohhad.

It's a small tribe in the desert far from the town

In the millennia that Tatunaan disappeared, the Guardian warriors who remained in the desert gathered and formed their own small tribes.

Balohad said that their ancestors found a fixed sea nearby, and through the efforts of countless generations of guards, they built it into a small oasis suitable for living.

In the time when there was no war, they sat together, farmed and farmed, and sometimes went to the surrounding towns to exchange for some groceries.

Simple and peaceful, silently guarding this desert full of mystery and unknown.

When night fell, Chen Tao and the others were warmly welcomed by the soldiers of the guards.

Everyone's face turned red with a huge bonfire, and everyone gathered around to eat tender roast lamb and drink Tatunaan's unique spirits.

Singing and dancing, peaceful.

Looking at the old and young people around him who were blushing, Chen Tao's heart swelled with an indescribable stability and calm.

Tatunan, which has disappeared for a thousand years, has been perpetuated in such a way. This group of last Tatunans carries the hope of generations after generations.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a pure land in the noisy and complicated modern society.

Chen Tao didn't know when he went back to his room, and when he woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

After eating and sleeping enough, people also have spirits.

The setting sun hung obliquely in the sky and crumbled, and the people of the tribe were busy with their lives.

Haozi and Liang Shaokai were still sleeping dead, and Chen Tao didn't call them.

Walking on the road, everyone greeted him warmly, and Chen Tao naturally responded with a smile.

It wasn't until he walked to the edge of the ancient sea that Chen Tao stopped.

The sun shone obliquely on the water, sparkling like a layer of sparkling diamonds.

Chen Tao saw a familiar figure from a distance.

It turned out to be Balohard.

At this time, he wore a loose jacket on his upper body and fed the camels.

He had dark skin and tattoos on his bare arms and chest.

"You're here!" Balohard beckoned to Chen Tao.

"Commander Barlow, these tattoos are ......." Chen Tao looked at the tattoos on his body, and felt a little familiar in his heart.

"This is Tatunan's map." Balohad did not hide it in the slightest.

"When the prince returned, in order to make the guards remember the location of Tatunaan, he stabbed all the routes on his body. Everyone here has these maps tattooed from a young age. ”

"Me, can I take a look?" Chen Tao pleaded with some tactfulness, Chen Tao was sure that the tattoo on Ballohad's body must have been seen somewhere.

Ballohad replied and ripped his shirt open.

Looking at the tattoos on Balohard's body, Chen Tao was stunned.

"It's ......."
