Chapter 9: The Lost Sea

The sun is scorching.

Cloudless.

The desert is windless.

The sand shimmering with white light makes it impossible to open your eyes.

The three of them rode horses, walking alone in the vast desert

This is already the second new entry into the desert.

People are sleepy and tired, and they are walking more and more slowly.

Suddenly, the horse on which Chu He was riding neighed and fell to the ground, throwing Chu He to the sand.

Song Nian hurriedly grabbed the horse, but he didn't expect his horse to hit the end as well.

As if it was a signal, the horse that Su Qi'er was riding also fell down.

Song Nian looked at the three horses whose chests were still undulating, gritted his teeth and said, "Horses can't do it......"

Chu He gasped and said, "If the horse doesn't work, we can continue to walk...... But...... Water...... The water is gone......"

As early as the morning, the few remaining water for the three of them were completely exhausted.

Song Nian gritted his teeth, suddenly took out a knife, and said to Chu Dao: "Drink horse blood......

"Drink horse blood...... Chu He was stunned for a moment: "I heard that horse blood is hot and hot, and I can't drink ......"

Song Nian shook his head: "How much...... A little moisture, in short, get through the current hurdle first. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Chu He nodded.

Song Nian took out his knife and accurately bled the three horses.

Su Qi'er licked her lips, pounced on Song Nian when she moved the knife, and drank hungrily.

Chu He looked at Su Qi'er in a daze.

Song Nian said lightly: "Qi'er is different from you, you were born with a golden key, Qi'er is not, if he is not like this, he will be eaten alive in the beggar's heap...... Don't get me wrong, it's not that someone knocked someone, it's really thrown into a pot and cooked and eaten. ”

Chu He's throat squirmed, instinctively feeling very disgusting, but in the end, he couldn't help but lie on the horse's neck and suck the horse's blood.

"I'm sorry...... But...... We have to live, otherwise, more and more people will die......" Song Nian muttered a few words.

Then, he fell on his stomach.

The three of them drank with round stomachs, and there was not much pleasure to quench their thirst, but it was unusually hot.

"Well, that's how horse blood is...... Walk! Keep walking......"

Song Nian struggled to his feet...... It's nice to lie underground, but ...... You can't stay here, otherwise, you will soon be roasted into a dried corpse.

Song Nian...... We...... Do we really have a way out of this desert? Chu He also struggled to get up.

Song Nian pulled up Chu He and looked at his dry and peeling face: "Chu He...... You...... Have you believed me? ”

Chu He grinned: "It's all this time, you ...... I don't believe you, what else? ”

Song Nian took a deep breath and looked at Chu He: "I know, I brought you into this dead end...... If we turn back now, maybe, if we can meet the Hu people who captured us, and fall into the hands of the Hu people, it may not be death. ”

Chu He grinned: "You can...... If you fall into the hands of the Hu people, it may be a little miserable, but ...... Should be able to live. ”

Song Nian laughed: "Life is better than death." ”

Chu He nodded: "Yes...... Life is better than death, the Chu family ...... There has never been a young head of the family who has been caught...... Being caught, surrendered to the Hu people, worse than death. ”

Song Nian nodded and looked at Su Qi'er.

Su Qi'er raised her tanned and peeling face: "Where my sister goes, I will follow." ”

Song Nian touched his skull, it was hot and a little hot: "What, not afraid of death?" ”

Su Qi'er shook her head: "I'm afraid, but ...... Master has great powers, so he must be fine. ”

"You're a good eye......"

Song Nian smiled and looked at Chu He: "Your eyesight is much better than that guy." ”

Chu He tugged at his lips and didn't laugh.

Song Nian glanced at Chu He and raised his chin: "Do you remember when we first met, I saw Rao's death?" ”

Chu He grinned: "Remember, now I know that you bluffed me." ”

Song Nian said meaningfully: "Yes...... It's a bluff for you, how can a man see death......"

Then, Song Nian clicked on the system interface.

β€”β€”

Song Nian tried to point the skill points on the mission radar.

Really...... No response.

Originally, I was still counting on the evolution of the mission radar, but it seems that we can only use the original method.

"Chu River...... I remember you, the ancient silk road here......"

Chu He nodded silently.

Song Nian smiled, burned fifty fragments, and turned on the mission radar.

Mission Radar, which will automatically assign her a mission.

If...... If you have joined the nearby Rao, then the mission radar will point to this person.

This is Song Nian's courage to dare to go deep into the desert.

She didn't believe that in this vast sea of sand, there was really no one without cherry blossoms

The ancient silk road used to be so prosperous...... Either way, there will be people who will continue to live here.

Song Nian smiled.

On the radar in my mind, I swept out one point of light, and some of the white dots were still moving.

There was even a point of light, right next to her.

Song Nian glanced at the sandy area, it was empty, it was obviously a desert creature lurking underneath the sand, such as a scorpion or rattlesnake.

This seemingly lifeless desert is actually ...... It's not a forbidden area for life.

At the edge of the radar, in waves of scanning, suddenly there were some white spots, shining a little.

Then, the coordinates of the task are fixed here.

Song Nian glanced at it. Sure enough, there is one more task in the temporary taskbar of the daily task bar.

β€”β€”

Active Mission: Lost in the Sea

Reward: A water bottle.

β€”β€”

Song Nian smiled slightly. It seems that the system has given a goal.

Over there, the white light was shining, and it must be the gathering place of the desert tribes.

How can an oasis disappear so easily?

As for the Hu people outside, the reason why no one has ever walked out of the desert is that Song Nian also thinks it is very simple.

One is that these Hu people don't know how to be polite, and they rashly break into other people's homes, maybe they did something bad and were killed by the Hu people.

Second, the desert people may not like others to break in, and even like to live in the sand sea, so those Hu people were also killed.

As for the third reason...... That's even simpler, the wind and sand are so big, the Hu people who came in to explore the way may not even find the first settlement, and they die of thirst.

"Follow me......" Song Nian looked at the mark given by the mission radar in front of him, and strode forward against the scorching sun.
