Jiang Rong is accompanied by her sister Ghost Ya, and she is fine for the time being.

He Pengfei's whereabouts are unknown, and he will explain later.

Ran Qin and Zhiqing did not escape in the end and were imprisoned in the basement.

It's easy to say it in one sentence. However, it is difficult to turn what is said into reality. According to the plan, Zhong Kui first took the men to open up the world and regain his homeland. The women waited for news in their caves, a vast, uninhabited wasteland resembling a small Gobi desert, made up of fine gravel and coarser grains of sand. There are clusters of red willows on the ground that are in tenacious life, and the reason why the red willow is said to be tenacious is that its endless reproduction ability is shocking.

The leader told Zhong Kuidao: "The red willow turns the branches buried by the quicksand into roots, and then emerges from the surface of the sand layer and sticks out clumps of thin branches. It tenaciously blooms small reddish flowers in the wind and sand. In spring, the flaming red branches of the red willow sprout goose-yellow buds, and then green leaves will grow. On the white ground, there is such a cluster of green leaves, it is really a rare green. ”

"It's not easy." Although Zhong Kui's area is not large, it is indeed difficult to walk on foot alone. One by one, the leader said: "Pay attention to saving drinking water, and insist on it as much as possible." I believe that as long as you climb over that mountain beam, you can see people. With the crowds, the rest is easy. ”

There is also the small lizard found on the Little Gobi Desert, which has a pair of small, bright eyes that change with the seasons. No matter how powerful and mighty the opponent is, it will puff out its little eyes and look directly at its powerful opponent - there is no fear in those small bright eyes! In the face of the mountain's big claws raised in the air, it still struggled to open its big mouth—oh my God, its big mouth, even if it was the size of its head. Lo and behold!' The man who was so frightened that he almost stepped on it suddenly jumped up and ran away quickly.

Walking in the desolate area, everyone's spirit is not very good, and they look sluggish with their heads drooped.

There were 28 people in their group, and they were lined up in a row. From the vultures soaring high in the sky, they look like a string of ants, moving slowly.

Hidden in the dense silk grass is a gray fur with a pair of long-eared rabbits. They watched their surroundings vigilantly, and when they spotted a moving creature approaching, they burrowed into the ground, and had to wait until the moving creature was far away before slowly bouncing out again. A young man with itchy teeth was eager to catch a rabbit for a tooth sacrifice. Under the shouting of the leader, he had to reluctantly glance at the rabbit hole and followed the crowd.

After careful observation, Zhong Kui found that the reason for their sluggishness and weakness was the climate, which resembled the climate of a temperate desert.

Sure enough, under his inquiry, the leader compared the climate here with the climate of the desert region in the hinterland of the temperate continent. THERE ARE REALLY MANY SIMILARITIES, SUCH AS THE TEMPERATE ZONE IS GENERALLY CHARACTERIZED BY EXTREME DROUGHT, SCARCE RAINFALL, AND THE AVERAGE ANNUAL PRECIPITATION IS 200-300MM, AND IN SOME PLACES THERE IS EVEN NO RAIN FOR MANY YEARS.

The same is true here, especially in the hot summers, with daytime highs of 50°C or more. That was the hardest stage for the people who had taken refuge here. Cold winter: The average temperature of the coldest month is below O°C, and the annual temperature range is large, and the daily range is also large. There are few clouds, relatively long sunshine, and strong solar radiation. The natural landscape is mostly desert, and there are only a few psammophytes in the natural plants. The leader also led them in the meantime, and tried to plant saplings or something here, but they all failed. Because the contrast of the climate is too great, the new seedlings are not suitable for too long drought, and finally turn into a withered dry firewood grass, which will break if it is gently broken.

At noon, the sun's rays hung high on them as they walked on the desert horizon. Although it was spring, the sun seemed to be particularly fierce here, and they were tired and had a hard time taking every step.

A lonely tree standing in the wind is the only shelter they can block the bright light. The raised neck, the pointed Adam's apple like an olive, slid up and down with the swallowing of the water.

The water supply is dwindling, but their journey seems to be still in place...... Zhong Kui anxiously smashed his chapped lips and looked into the white distance, until he could reach the position where his eyes could reach, and he retracted unwillingly.

Zhong Kui said: "We have to speed up the progress, or we will have to rest for the night at the head of this open dam, which is not good." In case there's a jackal or something, it's bad. "At the same time, he didn't wear it, and the scene here is a little weird. It is suspected that something is against him, and this is neither the Gobi Desert nor the desert. Why is the climate so unusual?

"Well, I'm confused, I remember it's not far from the main road. Why did you just walk for a long time? Are we lost? The leader wondered.

The others had no say, and one by one they leaned against the edge of the tree pole in frustration. The water that had just been swallowed instantly came out of the pores and turned into cloudy beads of sweat dripping on the ground.

"I also find it strange......"

Zhong Kui guessed correctly. The maker of all this is the tear-stained spirit who bet him.

The sun shuttles through the clouds, but it does not reduce the heat. Some people started complaining, others scribbled circles on the ground. Suddenly, one of the people exclaimed, "What do you see over there?" ”

His shout was like thunder on dry land. Startled, the others all looked in the direction his finger was pointing at once—a twinkle of something, reflected by the sun's rays. It's as if someone remotely is manipulating the mirror, using the light reflected by the light to greet them.

Could it be someone there? The leader muttered, and immediately stood up, staring intently at the shining position. From a distance, it looks like it's on the opposite peak.

"Check it out!" The leader has the right to speak, and his words immediately wake up the bald and listless people. One by one, they were elated, and in view of their curiosity about new things, they were ready to take a look.

As he got up, the leader suddenly felt that the number was wrong. Carefully click one by one, and sure enough, there is one person missing. At the moment, I asked people to look around, but they didn't find it.

Could it be that you will get lost and go away? Or is it that at the end of the departure, I can't stand all kinds of hardships and quietly return? But if a person is lost here, then the consequences are conceivable, and there is only a dead end!

I couldn't find the person, so I had to choose to see what it was. Someone wondered on a whim, could it be the missing person, calling them for help? When you think about it this way, everything seems logical.

Strange to say, the journey that had been slow like a snail before, but now it was at the foot of the mountain in less than an hour of incense. The slopes are steep, and with the sheer slopes being bare, there are no plants that can pull them, and they can only be climbed on all fours.

Zhong Kui felt that the flashing thing must not be a good thing. He couldn't stop the leader's decision-making power, so he could only silently follow behind and go back to the ancient times to imitate the ape-like crawling of his ancestors.
