September is already in season, but in the desert, the temperature is still frighteningly high.

When I was in Kushi, the temperature had already exceeded 30 degrees Celsius, and when I entered the desert border, the temperature seemed to be higher again.

"Boom."

The road is straight and pitch black, like a giant's belt, spread out on the desolate Gobi and desert.

The off-road convoys of various divisions kept a distance from each other and did not interfere with each other.

The convoy of the Nine Divisions galloped along this road.

Cheng Lin, Fu Zhongting, and Xie Qingke and Xiao Ningyu sat in the back seat of the car, looking out of the window curiously.

The same goes for Cheng Lin.

It was the first time he had seen the desert with his own eyes.

The first impression is yellow.

The road is flanked by endless sand dunes with high skies and blazing sun.

The field of view can be easily pulled out very far.

Probably because of the wind, if you look far away, your vision will be obscured by the blowing sand and dust, and it will be blurry.

In addition, the most seen is Populus euphratica.

Standing silently, strong and stubborn on this barren land, poplar trees are one of the few trees that can live in such a harsh environment compared to other "delicate" plants.

Cheng Lin had heard of the saying that Populus euphratica "will not die for a thousand years, will not fall for a thousand years, and will be immortal for a thousand years", and today he finally saw it.

Frankly speaking, it is not good-looking, especially the "ugly" trunk, twisted and hideous, like a big hand with protruding blood vessels, holding on to the yellow sand of the earth, but it makes Cheng Lin feel a different kind of tenacity.

That's life.

Even if there is a trace of nutrients, you must live tenaciously.

Cheng Lin thought.

"Look! Poplar forest! ”

Suddenly, Xiao Ningyu, who was quiet, said with some joy that the two girls seemed to be very interested in this kind of rare place.

I saw that there was indeed a large poplar forest in the direction of Xiao Ningyu's finger.

Gathered together, it is a scenery that is different from the desert yellow sand.

"There are a lot of such trees, and there are bigger ones in front," said a small lapel in the same car, laughing, "and it is said that 90 percent of the poplar trees here are in the country." ”

Sure enough, after walking forward again, they came across a larger poplar forest.

Cheng Lin looked at it with great interest at first, but after watching it for a while, he felt bored, too monotonous.

He glanced at the odometer, then silently calculated, poked his head out of the car slightly, looked out, and frowned.

In his calculations, it should have been almost to the projection area.

But when he looked over, he couldn't see where the boundaries of the projection were.

The "Sea of Sand" projection perfectly overlaps with the real desert.

If you don't look closely, it's hard to notice.

Of course, if you use the practitioner's perception to look at it, it is relatively easy to distinguish.

Opening the "Hazy Eye", Cheng Lin could easily perceive the changes in the distribution of heaven and earth aura in the distance.

The entire projection area has a "reddish" color.

The rich fire attribute aura formed a ribbon and flew in the air, which was significantly different from ordinary deserts.

This kind of rich fire attribute aura is quite friendly to fire element cultivators, and Cheng Lin analyzed that this is also the reason why Shen Shanjing transferred Huang Yin over - her ability is the fire attribute, once she enters the projection, there will inevitably be a huge bonus to combat power.

Thinking about this, Cheng Lin suddenly found that the convoy suddenly changed direction, detached from the road, and began to move along the barren Gobi.

"Everyone's cheered up, it's about to enter the projection!"

The on-board communication equipment of the off-road vehicle suddenly sounded, and it was Huang Yin's voice.

Cheng Lin hurriedly straightened his body, adjusted his state, and waited for the moment of projection.

About two minutes later, he suddenly realized that he had broken through an invisible barrier, and then he was keenly aware that the temperature was a little higher.

It's just that he doesn't feel hot, which is a strange experience.

At the same time, he felt the aura in his body become a little more active.

"Could it be that the title of 'Flame Spirit' has been opened?"

Cheng Lin thought a little uncertainly.

It wasn't until he saw the obvious signs of discomfort on the faces of the other people in the car that he was sure they had entered the projection area.

"It's hot!"

Xiao Ningyu complained that just a few dozen seconds after entering the projection, her whole face was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and her skin also showed some abnormal redness, and she began to gasp for breath, looking very wrong.

"It's hot, it's ...... It's a bit excessive. ”

Fu Zhongting frowned and said, he gasped hard, but the air he inhaled into his mouth was hot, almost burning his trachea.

In just a minute, his whole body seemed to be fished out of the river, and the front and back of his clothes were soaked.

Only Cheng Lin and Xie Qingke are normal.

Cheng Lin is because he has the title of "Flame Spirit", and Xie Qingke is an ice elemental monk with his own air conditioning.

"Let's try to cover the surface of the body with Reiki! This makes it resistant to high temperatures! The little lapel sitting in the front row hurriedly said.

Everyone hurriedly did so, and then they felt better and returned to basic normal.

"Why is the temperature in this projection so high? Ordinary people are afraid that they will faint directly from heat stroke as soon as they come in. Wiping his sweat, Fu Zhongting said with emotion.

In order to avoid exposing the flame spirit, Cheng Lin also imitated others to cover the surface of his body with a layer of aura, and then said with a smile: "Different projection climates are different, but in this way, in order to insulate the heat, the consumption of aura is faster than normal." ”

"Fortunately, I can still hold this consumption, it shouldn't be a big problem," Fu Zhongting nodded, and then said curiously, "I don't know how high the temperature is here now." ”

"Anyway, it can't be more than 427 degrees, otherwise the fuel tank of the car we are sitting in would have exploded a long time ago." Xie Qingke said, after a pause, she added, "I mean the case of normal pressure." ”

A few people chatted casually, and saw the convoy continue to move forward, gradually, the sand on the ground became thicker, fortunately, it was not a problem for the off-road vehicle to run, but Cheng Lin was a little worried, will the tires burst at this temperature......

As he was pondering, he suddenly heard the sound of brakes, and the entire convoy suddenly stopped from the front to the back.

"What's wrong?"

The hearts of the people were tight, but they did not panic, but immediately opened the car door and got out of the car, and at the same time took up their weapons and were on alert with all their attention.

Any kind of danger can happen in the projection, and no one knows what kind of enemy will come and how.

Cheng Lin also jumped out of the car, stepped on the hot sand with both feet, and looked forward.

I saw that Huang Yin at the front of the car had already gotten out of the car, standing in front of a sand dune, standing silent.

Behind her, a group of small lapels formed a vigilant circle.

"What happened?"

Fu Zhongting couldn't help but ask curiously.

Cheng Lin thought for a while, glanced at a few people, and walked forward together, "Let's go over and take a look." ”

However, as soon as a few of them took a few steps, they only saw Huang Yin suddenly raise his right hand, and a huge flame whip tens of meters long appeared out of thin air.

"Bang!"

In the next second, I saw Huang Yin pick up the whip and whip towards the tall sand dune in front of him.

This blow actually blasted this huge sand dune open, and the yellow sand rolled down, revealing a huge metal skeleton!

The metal skeleton was covered in a thick layer of rust, and its appearance was twisted and strange, looking like the remains of something, and the surface was completely rotten, and it looked quite hideous.

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at each other: "What is this?" ”
