Chapter 14 Map of the Ancient Road

"It's okay...... Chu He was relieved.

When the physical strength is exhausted to the limit, there is no excess strength, but it maintains the veil it once was.

"Wait......" Song Nian glanced at the bottom of the pit.

Although it was re-covered by quicksand, the cloth bag that tied the brass kettle was still exposed, and there was wet sand underneath, so there was no problem of quicksand collapsing, so you can wait patiently.

"Good ......" Chu He finished speaking, and lay down quietly.

Song Nian glanced at him. The Chu River did not move at all.

He's dead?

Song Nian hurriedly reached out and touched his snort.

Get...... Still breathing, this guy...... It's a fainting.

Alas...... Song Nian sighed, climbed up the hillside, dragged Su Qi'er down, and put him in the sand valley.

However, when she was at the top of the sand dune, Song Nian faintly felt that something seemed wrong, but then she thought of it......

They are dying of thirst, and they should be hallucinations caused by physical weakness.

If...... If there is really something wrong, I can't deal with it now.

That's when it doesn't exist well.

The sun is setting in the west.

The white dots around his body shook for a moment, and then shattered with a bang.

Song Nian glanced at the place where the mission mark disappeared from afar, and remembered it in his heart.

That would be the next source of water......

As for now, Song Nian dug the sand pit again and slowly took out the brass kettle at the bottom.

Outside the brass kettle, wrapped in a layer of wet sand, Song Nian shook it, and there was a loud sound in the kettle, and she smiled with satisfaction.

There is a small half pot of water.

Song Nian fed Su Qi'er and Chu He some of them, and then left a little bit, she licked her lips and poured them all into her mouth. This little water is only enough to moisten your throat.

But it doesn't matter...... Next, there will be a steady stream of water......

Next, Song Nian soaked in the pool.

When the full moon rises in the sky. Song Nian had already dug the sand pit to a depth of one zhang, and the soles of his feet were no longer wet sand, but mud mixed with water and sand.

Although there is a danger of collapse at any time...... However, fetching water is the number one priority.

Chu He is Su Qi'er, who has already woken up, and he has untied his belt and tied it to Song Nian's waist, in case the cave wall collapses, it is convenient for them to rescue in time.

In this way, after fetching water again and again, although the three of them drank a mouth full of sand, the water was ...... but it was made up in a solid way.

Song Nian climbed up, looked at the sky, and said to Chu He, "The kettle and water bladder are full?" ”

Chu He nodded.

Song Nian glanced at the previous direction: "Let's go...... Walking at night, you can reduce the physical exertion a lot......"

In fact, she hadn't rested for a long time, that is, she was able to lie on the sand for a while while she was just waiting for the water to come out.

The three of them walked in the northwest direction, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Shortly after the trio left. In the sand next to it, a man suddenly came out. He threw himself into the sand pit that Song Nian had just dug out, threw himself into the mud at the bottom of the pit, and sucked greedily.

Even if your mouth is full of sand, it is better than dying of thirst.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose in the desert.

The floating sand on the top of the sand dunes rolled down with a clatter.

At the bottom of the bunker, there was a sudden scream......

Song Nian stumbled forward, and suddenly his ears moved.

Turning around and asking Chu He, "Did you hear any sound?" ”

Chu He shook his head.

Su Qi'er also shook her head.

Song Nian smiled bitterly: "Let's go, probably because I'm hallucinating." ”

……

The location of the fourth mission, Song Nian could only roughly guess.

Mission radar, no longer available!

Only from memory, the approximate distance of this mission location can be calculated.

Fortunately, the water brought by the three of them, saving a little, is enough for three days.

Song Nian was ready to return the same way in case something went wrong.

Provided, of course, that they can find their way back when the water source is cut off...... After all, the terrain is a sand dune that changes at any time......

……

Chewing on the jerky in his mouth, Song Nian stuck a shovel into the sand dunes.

On the side, Su Qi'er also held a long sword and stuck it on the ground at random.

This is the "trophy" found on the road.

The same is true of the Chu River.

"Master, I found it!"

Su Qi'er shouted happily.

He drew his arrow, flicked his little hand in the sand, and quickly dug up a corpse.

Song Nian immediately ran over.

These corpses, but her guiding light, are the signposts when she loses the guidance of the system's mission.

It is with these corpses that she has been able to get all the way to the present.

Running to him, Song Nian saw that the cowhide bag behind the corpse was shining with white light.

This dried corpse is dressed quite ...... Modern, wearing a wide-brimmed cowhide hat, wearing clothes with very dense fabrics, a bit of canvas texture...... As for the cutting style, it is very similar to the work clothes of later generations, which is very simple and convenient.

On this dress, there are quite a lot of pockets, Song Nian checked it, one pocket actually has specially treated charcoal pens inserted in it, and in the other pocket, there is a wide white paper, on which is a grid, roughly depicting the nearby terrain and a zigzag route.

Song Nian glanced at it and handed it to Chu He.

Chu He took it and looked at it, and was immediately a little shocked.

"This ...... What is recorded above should be the map of the ancient silk road, and these four places should be the four water sources where we stayed before, you can look here......"

As he spoke, Chu He took out a map from his bosom...... This is the reward given by the system when the fourth task is played. Song Nian lost the guidance of the system, and it took a lot of effort and great difficulty to dig up the corpses from the desert one by one. Chu He was originally a little anxious and delayed for too long, and there was not enough water, but when he saw this map, he immediately shut up and looked at Song Nian with blank eyes.

So Song Nian ...... I can only give it to him.

It was the first time she had seen Chu He's eyes...... You are a big man's family, we are down in the desert again, are you embarrassed to put this kind of grudge and expectation with a woman and me?

Goosebumps all over my body are up!

Take it if you want! It's just a broken map, who takes it is not to take it!

By the way, now they are digging the fifth mission objective, which is more than half the way away from several places, and the marking of the system has also been lost a long time ago.

Chu He spread out the large map, and then put this charcoal simple map next to the big map, and carefully compared it.

Then, he looked at the map and said to Song Nian with a solemn expression: "Look...... This large map should be the terrain around Dayongguo, and this small map is the map of the Silk Ancient Road, and the route of travel on it, and even the direction of progress, are all marked...... Hmm, you need a star-pulling board...... In short, with these two maps, we can move forward at will in this sea of death! ”

Song Nian glanced at him: "What do you want to do?" ”

Chu He looked at Song Nian and said seriously: "These two maps, can you ...... To the Imperial Court, Your Majesty...... There will be no reward for it! On the other day, I will lead the Black Armor Army, cross the Death Sea, appear in the hinterland of the Hu people, and then cooperate with the border army, and I will definitely be able to pacify the border pass in one fell swoop......"

Song Nian looked at Chu He, who was a little enthusiastic, lightly opened his lips, and said two words gently.

"Silly wall."
