In the morning light, riding a white camel back to the oasis, Cheng Fei drank hot water, ate a quick barbecue, and began to act, since he had decided to continue to go deep into the desert, he naturally had to prepare.

Water and food!

It's essential, and not only that, but the more the merrier.

The food is easy to solve, although almost all the animals in this oasis scared him away, and he will not return in a short time, but there are many crocodiles in the Peacock River.

With Cheng Fei's ability, it didn't take long for him to hunt one back, which was even bigger than yesterday's, and after dissecting, he got more than two hundred catties of meat, most of which he made into bacon strips, plus he picked a lot of dates, without cultivating the battle heaven and turning qi, it was definitely enough for him to eat until the end of the task.

Compared to food, the problem of water is more troublesome. Although he guarded an entire Peacock River, he did not have enough containers to carry large amounts of water.

A kettle, only one liter full, is not enough to meet his needs for a day.

"Looks like we'll have to find a way to make a container!"

This was the only way Cheng Fei could think of, and he searched in the oasis, and finally fell in love with a poplar tree about ten meters high.

Compared to other big trees, this poplar tree is not big, with a diameter of less than one meter, and the reason why Cheng Fei likes it is because the tree pole is relatively straight.

"I hope ........ Let's make it. ”

To be honest, he didn't know if his idea would succeed, but it was the only way he could think of it, and he had to give it a try anyway.

At that moment, Cheng Fei cut down the poplar tree from the root, he took the straighter part in the middle of the tree pole, cut off two logs about 1.5 meters long, and then hollowed out the heart of the tree from one end to make two round barrels.

It was a crude technique, but the results were remarkable, and the two barrels, taken together, could hold at least four or five hundred liters of water, enough for his basic survival in the desert.

He then made two more lids, which were necessary to avoid the spillage of the water contained in the buckets and the rapid evaporation of the water in the sunlight.

He then peeled off some bark, kneaded it into ropes, and attached a piece of crocodile skin to make a simple camel saddle, fastening two barrels to the white camel, and was done.

In fact, this is the real reason why he went to great lengths to subdue the white camel.

Not only can he be used for riding, but he can also carry a large amount of supplies, so that he can march into the depths of the desert without any scruples.

In the evening, Cheng Fei opened his belly again and had a big meal.

After a night of silence, early the next morning, after getting up to practice martial arts, Cheng Fei filled two wooden barrels with water, then rode on a white camel, and followed the map instructions to go downstream along the Peacock River.

I have to say that in the desert, there is a big difference between walking with camels and walking on your own.

As a natural desert animal, the camel will tell you when it's time to stop and the cyclone is ahead of you, it will tell you when it's time to go faster because the desert oasis is ahead, it will also tell you where poisonous insects and beasts are lurking, and even give you food that doesn't have to be refrigerated when you run out of food.......

Camels, worthy of the name of the ship of the desert!

Along the river, you can see a small piece of oasis from time to time, growing sand dates, poplars and some shrubs, in the oasis, there are also most animals to live, and even, Cheng Fei also hunted an antelope to fight for tooth sacrifice.

But a few days later, as Cheng Fei continued to go deeper, the Peacock River was diverted to the southeast, to Loulan on that side, and Cheng Fei was to go southwest, into the most dangerous desert forbidden area.

This is a large mobile desert, the wind blows the sand dunes, the landscape is the same day by day, there is no feature, and the ancient river channel has long been gone. Thanks to Cheng Fei's portable camera, most of the castles, houses, and towers that were buried in the yellow sand and only half of the roof were exposed, the poplars that were slanted by the wind and at an angle of 30 degrees to the ground, and the few small shuttles in the desert could not escape the camera's lens.

These things seem to be scattered, but when they are connected, they form a line, which tells Cheng Fei that the ancient channel of the Peacock River once passed here, and at the end of this disappearing ancient river channel is the ancient golden city that only appears in legends.

In the desert, what impressed Cheng Fei the most was always those thousand-year-old poplars, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that there were trees in the desert?

Each tree was like a vigorous flying dragon, all the branches stretched out crookedly to the east, as if this dragon was running in the desert, in such a harsh environment, after thousands of years, it had long since died, and the trunk was blown by the wind and sand to the ground quickly, but it still did not fall.

The first rays of the morning sun rose from the eastern horizon, reflecting the clouds on the horizon, and the sand dunes in the desert were shrouded in a layer of glow, and the dry poplars and rippled yellow sand were reflected in golden red, thick colors, forming a magnificent picture between heaven and earth.

In order to avoid the scorching sun at noon, Cheng Fei didn't want to delay the trip, so he started to rush at three or four o'clock in the morning every day.

But soon, he couldn't help frowning. Not to mention that he had studied hard before, even children knew that "the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles", and this magnificent scene in front of him is a precursor to the change of the sky.

At this moment, a breeze blew through the sand dunes, rolling up wisps of fine sand, and the sky in the distance gradually turned a dark yellow, which was exactly the scene before the arrival of the wind and sand.

"Let's go!"

Cheng Fei hurriedly urged the white camel under his crotch, different from the previous slow and leisurely hurry, this time, the white camel galloped like a fast horse.

After all, it had been three days since he entered the quicksand domain, and according to the map, the ruins of the Qianhuang Ancient City were located in front of him, and he had to arrive as soon as possible to avoid the approaching wind and sand.

Riding a camel is different from riding a horse, because the camel walks most of the time, but when the camel runs, it is more tired than riding, and if the body bones are not good, it can be directly thrown apart.

Fortunately, Cheng Fei is physically strong, far better than ordinary people, but he can also support it, the white camel is running so wildly, of course, not only because of his urging, it is obvious that it also feels the danger signal from the sky.

Run, run quickly, under the vast power of nature, whether it is a human or a camel, all you can do is run away in embarrassment!

The sky, which had been clear just now, seemed to have darkened in an instant, and the wind came too fast, and more and more fine sand was swept into the air by the wind, and the surrounding area was shrouded in overwhelming sand and dust, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.

Cheng Fei thought that after his martial arts success, he was able to calmly face all kinds of dangers in the depths of the desert, but it was not until this moment that he realized that he was wrong, too wrong, in front of nature, his meager strength was still too small.

The wind blew more and more fiercely, the sand raged, and everywhere was a dull yellow, but ...... This is just a prelude to a desert storm, and a truly violent storm could come at any moment.

Cheng Fei could only urge the white camel to keep moving forward, but how could the speed of the camel be compared with the desert storm, seeing that the situation was becoming more and more dangerous, he considered whether to abandon the camel and escape alone. After all, he was much faster than a camel, and he should be able to avoid a sandstorm with all his might. However, as a result, his supplies were all gone.

Dilemma, Cheng Fei was unable to make a decision in his heart for a while, just at the critical moment, suddenly, his eyes were in front of him, and he saw a huge black shadow, extremely fast, moving towards a sand dune on the left in front of him!
