Chapter Seventy-Eight: Golden Beach
The entire team seemed to be in a state of departure at any time, and after about a moment, all personnel and supplies were in place. Ding Qin found that after this period of rest, their supplies were abundant again, and they could basically reach the level when they had just set off from Tongbao City.
And these soldiers, judging by the speed of the queue and the performance of sorting out supplies, are obviously not idle, but have been training.
Unconsciously, Ding Qin's gratitude to this group of people who had never known him in his life was a little more.
About half an hour later, a large number of flying Condors arrived in the sky. The eagle landed on the ground, and the five divine heirs of the Royal Guard walked in front of this force in the same formation as when Ding Qin first saw him.
"Ding Qin, let's say goodbye, maybe we will never see each other again. I wish you all the best for your future, more health and less risk. ”
Ding Qin saluted a few people, "I am fortunate to be taken care of by everyone this time, and we will never forget it in this life." ”
The old man smiled slightly, "The flying eagle is ready, you can go." ”
Ding Qin roughly counted it, and there were still about 100 flying eagles. He immediately divided the team into two groups, and went up the cliff in two waves, as he had done when he came.
The whole process went very smoothly. After Ding Qin and the other second wave of personnel went up the cliff, those flying eagles quickly flew down and sank into the clouds, without revealing any of their figures, as if they had never existed.
Entering the desert again, it seems even more desolate of the desert. Especially now that it is just windy, under the plundering of the wind and sand, the whole world seems to have lost its vitality.
Ding Qin asked Feng Lei to simply sort out the team and count the personnel and materials. When everything is in order, follow the pre-planned route and "Let's go." ”
On this side of the cliff, the traces of the Longyang Ancient Road are still relatively vague. The group entered the original mode again, groping forward and looking for it.
In the beginning, Fat Dun can also play a relatively large role. But with the extension of time, it may be that the traces of the ancient road are gradually decreasing, and the fat dun no longer has too many advantages. But even so, it actively participates in the search and is willing to be at the forefront most of the time.
In order to prevent accidents, Ding Qin did not send another advance team this time. According to the Royal Guard, when you enter the Golden Beach, you will have the door of life and death. If you take the wrong step, there will be serious consequences.
Twenty-three or four miles forward from the cliff, it was already getting dark. Ding Qin suggested to Feng Lei that he should camp here first and wait for dawn before acting.
Feng Lei thought about it and said solemnly, "Ding Qin." Although I am older than you, I feel that from now on, the command of the entire team will be handed over to you. ”
When Feng Lei said this, Ding Qin was a little surprised. "Why?"
Feng Lei said, "Your current cultivation is no longer below me. Moreover, you also have some insight into the command of the troops. These are all reasons for you to command. ”
Ding Qin didn't want to do this, and said, "Vice General Feng, you brought this team out single-handedly, or it is better for you to command it." Moreover, in the real military, I know too little, and I am afraid that if something goes wrong, I will not be able to bear this responsibility. ”
Feng Lei smiled, "What responsibility can you have?" Childe, I can see that you are a man of great talent. Think about the several beautiful battles that our team fought, which one was not commanded by you? No matter from which angle, it is human nature to let you command. Moreover, even if there are areas that you are not familiar with, don't you still have me, the deputy general? What does the deputy general do, the deputy general is to help the commander. ”
Ding Qin still shook his head, "Vice General Feng, in fact, we don't need to be sure of any command. As long as we work together, even if we are a small soldier in the team, what can we do? The real elite troops should be all of us working together. ”
"That's good!" Feng Lei gave a thumbs up, "Then do as you say." ”
"Hmm. Ding Qin nodded, and inadvertently raised his head, but saw a golden light shining slightly in the distance.
Seeing that Ding Qin was in one posture, Feng Lei took the opportunity to look over and also discovered this situation. "What's that? glittering. ”
Ding Qin said softly, "If you guess correctly, we have arrived at Golden Beach." I always thought that Golden Beach was just an ordinary place name, but I didn't expect it to really glow golden like this. ”
"Those people under the cliff, don't have any maps or anything like that for you?" Feng Lei didn't know the true identity of the royal guards, and Ding Qin also kept his promise and didn't mention it to him, so he always called them by the names of the people under the cliff.
"Nope. Ding Qin shook his head, "Those people are very cautious. I asked them for a map, but they didn't provide it. They said that they had their own mission and a rare peace, and they did not want a map to leak out and affect their lives. They did, however, say that after leaving the cliff and walking for a day or so, you will reach the golden beach. ”
"When you get to the golden beach, you will also arrive at the so-called door of life and death. Feng Lei's tone at this time carried a hint of worry, "As the name suggests, it is either life or death. ”
Ding Qin looked at the golden light and said calmly, "As long as we work together, there is only the door of life, not the door of death." Tell everyone, have a good rest, and we will go and open a way of life tomorrow morning. ”
Feng Lei couldn't help but be impressed by Ding Qin's confidence. He didn't say anything more, but returned to the group and told everyone to get a good night's sleep while they were on guard.
Facing the golden beach, Ding Qin sat for a long time. He was already a little accustomed to high-intensity cultivation, but now without the assistance of medicinal mud, he was somewhat uncomfortable. However, the time when he broke through the seventh layer of the first order of spiritual power was actually just the time when he broke the ice. As for what new things he could realize after the seventh layer of spiritual power, he needed to feel it for a while.
In the sixth level of the first order of spiritual power, the water practice technique gave him a new understanding. And after the seventh layer of the first order, he vaguely felt that there would be a breakthrough in application.
I don't know how long it took, but Ding Qin, who was slightly tired, fell asleep naturally. When I woke up again, the sky was almost bright, and the haze of the early morning made the golden sand even more dazzling.
Ding Qin got up, but unexpectedly found that most of the people in the team had woken up. Their attention is mostly on the golden sand beach.
When the sun rises and the first rays of morning light shine on the golden sand, a warm and bright golden light radiates from the sand. This golden light seems to be more comfortable than the sun's rays, and some people even can't help but exclaim, "Wow, it's beautiful, it's really beautiful!"
Ding Qin actually felt a similar way. It's just that he didn't say it. Because he knows that the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.
"Everyone ate according to the plan, and after the meal, we set off for Golden Beach. After the team, Ding Qin gave the order.
As the sun rises, the sunlight gets stronger and stronger, and the golden light gets weaker and weaker. By the time the sun is about half a man high, the golden sand beach is no different from the feeling of an ordinary desert, and at a glance, there is no abnormality to be found.
After moving forward a little, Ding Qin found that he was absolutely correct that he did not rush forward last night.
When there were still five or six miles to the golden beach, the environment in the desert suddenly changed. There are many quicksand bunkers on the ground, large and small, overlapping each other, and if you are not careful, you may be submerged in the quicksand. And this area, as the Royal Guard said, stretches all the way to the east and west, and there is no end to it, let alone the possibility of bypassing.
Even when they were exploring, they determined that it was the location of the Longyang Ancient Road, and there might be quicksand pits in ambush. Feng Lei even suggested that he couldn't understand how the ancient road was built in the quicksand area.
After Fat Dun entered this area, he was also extremely cautious. He has always been at the forefront of the team with Ding Qin and Feng Lei, but he has long not dared to cross easily in the quicksand as he used to.
It is a high-level magical beast in the desert. It's all like this, not to mention people who don't know much about the desert?
The journey of five or six miles took the team more than half a day. It wasn't until the afternoon that the sand beneath their feet regained some hardness. At this time, the golden sand beach is already close in front of you, but it is only a hundred meters away.
Looking at the golden sand beach up close, it is still different from the sand of ordinary deserts. It looks a little rougher here, and although there are no stones, you can see that the sand particles are larger. Some loose sand was also blown out by the wind, Ding Qin picked up a few, and found that the sand was translucent as a whole, with an unconventional shape, all of them were cubes, with prominent edges and corners. When the sand grains are in the hand, there is a slight warm feeling, as if they are emitting from themselves.
The Bone Soul had never touched anything like it. According to the bone soul, this should be some kind of material, but such a large piece of material that cannot be seen is somewhat incredible.
Within sight, Ding Qin deliberately looked for the so-called door of life and death. However, the desert here is flat, not to mention the door, not even the door frame can be seen.
"Where is the extension direction of the Longyang Ancient Road?" Ding Qin turned around and saw that Feng Lei was studying the map.
"The last section we found was in this location on the map, which is where we are now. Judging from the extension direction of the last piece, it should be directly in front of the two of us. ”
"Then the two of us will go and see. Ding Qin said, and wanted to go out as soon as he took a step. Unexpectedly, Fat Dun stepped forward directly, opened his mouth and bit his trouser leg, no matter what Ding Qin said, it didn't let go.
"Fat Dun sensed the danger. Feng Lei sighed lightly, "It has always been sensitive to the feeling of danger. It is not intended to let you take risks. ”
Ding Qin squatted down and slowly brushed his fat head. Fat Dun finally let go of Ding Qin, but there was a whining sound in his throat.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Ding Qin stood up again and took a step in the direction of the golden beach.
Feng Lei waited for a moment, but quickly followed. None of the people in the back of the group spoke up. In front of the team, Fat Dun squatted on the ground, his eyes full of unease.
