Episode 4 Crossing the Desert 2

Cao Ni was puzzled and said, "It brought us here, and it doesn't want us to eat this grass." ”

The camel did not say a word, but used its front hooves to pick up the sand vigorously.

"Oh, I see, there's probably water underneath the sand." Shanwa said, hurry up and pick up the sand, the further down you go, the wetter the sand becomes. Seeing the damp sand, the mountain baby picked up more and more energetic, soon, pulled out a big sand pit, when it was more than two meters deep, slowly, a stream of water emerged from the sand, the mountain baby held the water in her hand to taste, the water was sweet and cool. Shanwa was overjoyed, and he turned his face and shouted, "There is water here, this water can be drunk, come down quickly." ”

"Is there water under this desert?" Cao Ni couldn't seem to believe it.

"Really! You come down. Shanwa waved her hand again.

Cao Ni went down to the sand pit, picked up the water and tasted it, and shouted happily, "Really! Then, he drank one handful after another, until his stomach was swollen. When Cao Ni stopped drinking, Shanwa held the water and drank it again. The camels kept gnawing on the sand nests while they were drinking.

Shanwa pulled Caoni out of the sand pit, patted the camel, and said, "You've worked hard all the way, you can go and drink some water." ”

The camel lay on the edge of the bunker, leaned over, stuck its head to the bottom of the bunker, and drank slowly, for a long time, before getting up and standing up.

As they crossed a sand mountain, the wind blew up, and the quicksand slid down the hill with a roar, and as the sand slid down, there was a roar like thunder. Cao Ni slid straight down the sliding sand, Shanwa watched Cao Ni slide down, he grabbed Cao Ni's hand, Cao Ni no longer slid down, but the two of them couldn't climb up the sand mountain. The camel returned, lowered its neck, and let Caoni hold it around its neck and pull Caoni up. The two of them dragged the camel, closed their eyes, and climbed up step by step, and the flying sand was everywhere, and for a while, the neck, trouser legs, and nose were full of sand. Even though she had just drunk water, Cao Ni still felt a chapped throat and unbearable pain. Cao Ni said: "Can you stop and wait for the wind to light up before leaving." ”

The camel said, "The wind is not too strong to stop here, and if we do, we will let the sand bury us in a while." ”

Shanwa said: "If you insist on persevering, you will reach the top of Shashan Mountain in a while." ”

Although they had to climb up a long distance, Cao Ni felt that the top of the sand mountain was still so high and so far. She said, "How do I think this sand summit will follow us?" ”

The camel said, "This sand mountain just moves." ”

As soon as Cao Ni spoke, the sand got into her mouth, and she spit out a few mouthfuls, but she still didn't spit out the sand in her mouth, and her throat became even more uncomfortable.

Shanwa half-closed her mouth and said, "It will be better to hold your head with your scarf." ”

Cao Ni hurriedly hugged her head with a scarf, feeling much easier to breathe.

When they reached the top of the sand mountain, the camel trotted down the mountain. Shanwa and Caoni held hands and slid down the sand mountain, making a roaring sound as they slived. The speed of the descent is getting faster and faster, and with the roaring sound, it is like riding a roller coaster.

Sliding to the bottom of the mountain, the wind and sand are not so big. At the bottom of the sand mountain there is a lake of clear water, the lake is quiet, clear and clear, and the camels are gulping water by the lake.

Shanwa said happily: "With so much water, you can still drink it, I can't believe it." ”

Cao Ni didn't seem to believe her eyes, she approached the lake, gently picked up a handful of water and tasted it, the lake water was sweet and cool. So, she slapped the sand on her head and body, then washed her face, rinsed her mouth, and drank a lot of water, which made her feel much more comfortable. Relaxed, Cao Ni also felt hungry, she said, "I don't know if I can find food here." ”

After climbing the sand mountain for so long, after calming down, Shanwa also felt hungry, and he said, "I'll look for it." ”

The mountain baby turned around, dug out two things like mallets under the shuttle tree, and then washed them with lake water, and Cao Ni said, "This tree root can be eaten." Shanwa said: "This is not the root, this is Cistanche, it is a kind of fungus parasitic on the root of the Shuttle tree, after drying, it is a great tonic of Chinese medicinal materials, fresh to eat can satisfy hunger, very nutritious." ”

Shanwa and Caoni ate Cistanche one by one, and their tired bodies suddenly felt full of energy. Shanwa felt that a ball of heat gradually formed in the little belly, and after a while, the waist was also hot, and the heat went straight to the legs, and soon reached the feet, and then, the heat sprayed straight down from the soles of the feet, and his body slowly floated, and he wanted to rest by the lake for a while, but now there is no desire to rest, he said: "Let's continue to move forward." ”

The camel said: "I can only take you here, in front of it is the Bilutu Sand Peak, where the perennial wind demon sand monster is raging, it is very dangerous, it is a forbidden area of life, not to mention you humans, it is our camels, so far, I have not heard of any crossing the past." ”

In fact, Shanwa didn't want the camel to lead the way, and followed the camel too slowly, he said: "Okay, don't bother you, let's go by ourselves." ”

Cao Ni said: "The camel said just now that it is a forbidden area for life. This shows that the honey badger can't cross over, and since the honey badger won't go there, what's the use of us going. ”

Shanwa said: "The ability of this honey badger cannot be underestimated, I think it is different from ordinary honey badgers, its survival ability is not worse than ours." ”

"Even if it could pass through, you can't be sure it's going to run away, its paw prints are gone here, and we can't tell where it's fleeing," said Caoni. ”

"You have a point, the gust of wind just now wiped no trace of its paw prints." Shanwa looked around for a while, and then said, "You rest here for a while, and I'll go and inquire first." ”

Shanwa flicked the rope around her waist, and a golden bull appeared in front of her, and Shanwa rode on the golden bull and flew up. This surprised the camel next to him, and he tilted his head and kept looking at the flying golden bull.

He landed on the sand dunes and observed carefully, and found that there were many sand lizards whose tails broke off on the sand dunes and fell to the sand on the sand dunes. He covered a sand lizard with a dragon jar and asked, "What are you doing here?" What's the deal with the tail on the sand? ”

The sand lizard said, "We are running for our lives, many of our companions have been eaten by the honey badger, and the tail is left by the sand lizard that it has eaten." ”

Shanwa was overjoyed and asked, "Honey badger!" Where are the honey badgers? ”

The sand lizard said, "If you let me go, I'll say." ”

"Okay, I'll let you go." Shanwa said as she took away the fire dragon jar.

The sand lizard jumped all the way and ran away, twisting its head as it ran and said, "The honey badger has fled in the direction of Birutusa Peak." ”
