Everyone relaxed at this time, and they were glad that they didn't give up halfway with those timid people.

The young man who fell into the water, Ling Huwen, and Leng Erdao walked together, and the bearded man and the two middle-aged men followed behind them.

The bearded man smiled and said, "Childe, girl, you can't see the end of this desert at a glance, and I don't know what will happen inside, I think we should all go together as we did just now, and we will all take the same boat, so that we can take care of each other." ”

Ling Huwen glanced back at the bearded man and said with a smile: "How dare you take care of it?" I think you'd better take care of yourself. "I didn't turn around and didn't chase the three henchmen behind me, so they followed.

The scorching sun on the red sand sea is scorching, and the sand is steaming hot. Many of them walked for less than half a day, and their clothes were soaked with sweat several times, and they were dried several times, and even the pockets of their clothes were already full of salt steamed out of sweat.

Ling Huwen walked for a long time, and suddenly smelled a burning smell, and said to Leng Erdao and the young man who fell into the water: "Didn't you two smell anything?" ”

The two of them nodded their heads, and then the noses of the three of them all agreed, and the smell came from behind, so all three of them looked back at the bearded man behind them.

Seeing that the three of them were looking back at him, the bearded man saw that he didn't know why, and asked, "Childe, girl, what are you all looking at me for?" ”

With an incredible expression, the young man who fell into the water pointed to his feet and asked, "You, don't your feet hurt?" ”

The bearded man looked down at his own feet, only to see thick black smoke coming from the soles of his feet, and the straw sandals on his feet had already been scorched by the hot sand, and there were black footprints along the way, only the upper of the shoes was still hanging on the instep of his feet by a few straw ropes, and the thick smell of baking paste was the smell of the soles of his feet being scorched by the hot sand, just because his skin was rough and thick, and he didn't even feel the soles of his feet being roasted. As soon as the man in the water reminded him, he lifted his feet to look, only to see that the soles of his feet were already a piece of black charcoal.

Only then did the bearded man feel the pain in the soles of his feet, and he jumped up on the sand with one foot in his arms, and howled like a pig: "Lao Tzu's feet! After jumping a few feet, because the weight was too heavy, and the force on one foot was too heavy, he fell into the hot sand, and the skin at his ankles was also red, and the pain was so painful that he jumped up with another one, and the howl was still like killing pigs.

The young man who fell into the water shook his head and sighed: "This is really too tragic. ”

Ling Huwen couldn't help but laugh, and always felt that although this person was hateful, he was now burned like an ant on a hot pot, and he was a little pitiful. So he reminded him: "I see that the wallet on your upper body seems to be made of cowhide, and the cowhide is heat-resistant, so it's better to take it off and cut it and make two soles." ”

The bearded man was saved, so he immediately took off the wallet on his body, cut two crooked insoles according to what Ling Huwen said, removed two sleeves and tied them to his feet, and then tried it in the sand, and sure enough, his feet were not hot.

He jumped a few times on the sand and said with a smile: "Girl——, hehe, the girl is really smart, follow the girl is right, hehe." ”

Leng Erdao glanced at the bearded man with cold eyes, and said to Ling Huwen: "Keep walking, I haven't seen a single grass for half a day, and I don't know when the oasis will be found." ”

The boy who fell into the water said: "Childe, although I don't say that I am as hot as them for half a day, but I also walk sweaty, I see that Childe walks very freely, are you not hot at all?" ”

Leng Erdao replied casually: "Maybe I grew up near the Tianshan Mountain, the Tianshan Mountain is very cold all year round, and my physique is relatively cold, so it won't be hot when walking in this desert." ”

The boy who fell into the water asked Ling Huwen again: "Girl, aren't you hot either?" I didn't sweat when I saw you. ”

Ling Huwen said: "Maybe I grew up near the fire since I was a child, and my physique is more heat-resistant. ”

“”

When the sun went down in the sea of red sand, many people had already entered their stomachs with baked cakes and water, but they still did not see the shadow of the oasis, and some people who could not stand the heat broke the fireworks in their hands and withdrew from the exam.

As they walked along the sand dunes where the sun had set, they finally heard some sounds, and a few tired hunched men shouted as if they had suddenly seen the hope of life: "Found it!" "Scrambling to climb the hill.

Everyone was excited, they all thought they had really found it, and they craned their necks, showing hopeful eyes, waiting for the few people who had climbed the mountain and sand dunes to turn around and shout: "I have found the oasis." ”

However, a moment later, the men scrambled back from the sand dunes, their eyes so frightened that they were about to fall out of their sockets, and their lips trembled, and it took a great deal of effort to spit out a few words: "Snake, snake." ”

A few men who greeted them asked, "How big is the snake?" ”

The men continued to tremble their lips and said, "Bamboo pole, the size of a bamboo pole." ”

The men in charge of greeting him then laughed and said, "It's just a snake the size of a bamboo pole, so scared like this, I'll go and slaughter it." So the men also climbed up the dunes, and after a while, they were so frightened that they rolled down from the top of the dune, and leaned against the slope of the dune, and could not breathe for a long time.

After a long time, he said, "My mother." ”

Leng Erdao and Ling Huwen glanced at each other, knowing that there must be something strange, so the two of them carefully climbed up the sand dune, their eyes just showed the top of the sand dune, and they immediately felt that the scalp of their whole body was numb. Countless snakes lay in the hollows of the sand beneath the dunes, intertwined and wriggling to and fro, the size of three rooms. The serpent was surrounded by piles of bones, both cows and sheep, and people, and each one of them was very well preserved.

A few snakes seemed to notice the movement on the top of the dune, and suddenly stretched their necks, spit out the letter, and quietly raised their heads, as if listening to the movements on the top of the dune, so frightened that Leng Erdao and Ling Huwen quickly retracted their heads into their necks.

Suddenly, a voice said, "These snakes look the size of bamboo poles, so they shouldn't be able to swallow a whole person, right?" Leng Erdao and Ling Huwen found out that the two middle-aged men and the bearded man, as well as the young man who fell into the water, also climbed up with them at some point, and they were stupid when they were lying on the sand dunes.

Suddenly, I saw a group of snakes wriggling and crawling outside, and where they got out of the way, a giant python crawled out, only to see it stretch its neck, spit out the bones of a goat, and its body slowly retracted back to the size of a bamboo pole.

Everyone turned their heads one after another, looking at the man who spoke just now, and there were three words in his eyes clearly indicating the word "crow's mouth".

The middle-aged man seemed to have seen something that he shouldn't have seen, and he didn't dare to look at it again, so he turned around, blinked, and quietly climbed down the sand dune.
