With the direction of the sun as the east, Zheng Guo is heading northeast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I learned from the lookout point that the direction of the canyon is roughly from northwest to southeast, which means that if you go in this direction, you will reach the canyon the fastest.

Starting from the mushroom forest, it took more than an hour to walk, and the journey is estimated to be just over halfway.

In fact, it is only three or four kilometers away from the goal, and it usually takes less than an hour to complete, but in this environment, it is not as easy as imagined.

The first threat is, of course, the scorching temperatures.

With the scorching sun above his head, the heat wave hit him mercilessly, wantonly squeezing the moisture in his body.

In such an environment, Zheng Guo didn't even want to speak, just hurried away, occasionally raised his head and said a word, all of which were concise and to the point.

The audience couldn't help but sigh at the power of the desert, and it turned out that a person who liked to explain so much was so wilted.

From time to time, Zheng Guo rubbed his face and neck with his hands, explaining to the audience: "Applying sweat evenly on the face can have a certain cooling effect. ”

In a hot environment, the most important thing is to protect the brain, and you must maintain a normal temperature, otherwise it is very easy to suffer from heat stroke.

Heat stroke in the desert, that is not far from death.

The second threat is dazzling reflections.

Looking forward, I saw a white sway, and I couldn't even open my eyes when it was serious.

"If you don't take precautions, there's a good chance that your cornea will get sunburned and you go blind."

Zheng Guo used the Black Star Dagger to cut a strip of cloth from his shirt, and then cut many gaps in the middle to form an eyelash-like structure, tied it on his forehead, and pulled it down to the brow bone.

This blocks out most of the light.

The effect is not bad, but the shape is a bit difficult to describe.

The third threat is the potential for lurkers here.

The soles of the feet are dry and hard, and there is no sand.

But there are gravel blocks all over the place.

It is generally the size of a fist, and of course there are exceptionally large ones, and the height can even be level with Zheng Guo's shoulders.

The stones lay on the ground in no order, as if they were too hot to move.

Perhaps the word "stony desert" is more appropriate here than a desert.

"You have to be careful when walking in this terrain, there is a great shelter for some animals under the rocks. As I said before, because of the scarcity of resources, the animals here have evolved a ferocious temperament, and once they find their target, they will definitely fight to the death. So in such a place, even petite animals can be extremely ferocious and should not be taken lightly. They will lurk out of sight of their prey and attack when they are not looking. ”

The only advantage is that the terrain here is relatively flat, so you don't have to climb up and down.

After saying so many words in one breath, my throat was a little dry.

Zheng Guo stopped, untied the kettle at his waist, took a sip of water, frowned, and turned the kettle upside down, so that the spout of the kettle was facing down.

Not a drop of water dripped out.

The water ran out.

Seeing this picture, the hearts of the sailors couldn't help but pwitch.

Everyone knows that in the desert, water is life.

Without water storage, I instantly felt bottomless in my heart.

Zheng Guo screwed the lid of the kettle, hung the kettle around his waist, and said: "Don't panic, stay calm, like me, do you think I'm panicking now?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Sort of."

"My face is white."

"It's a little weak."

……

After careful observation, the sailors all gave an affirmative answer.

Zheng Guo wiped his face and said as he walked: "I admit that I am a little panicked, and I have to give myself positive psychological hints at this time." The canyon is not far ahead, and when you get there, you don't have to endure direct sunlight anymore, and there is a good chance that you will find water and food. Taking a step back, even if I can't find water for a while, I still have pee...... Don't laugh, believe me, when you're so thirsty that you smoke, you feel like even your urine is sweet and delicious. ”

"Yes, don't panic. -_-||”

"Guo Ye should say less, it is important to conserve physical strength."

"There are too many slots, where do you start to vomit?"

……

Zheng Guo walked around a boulder, and a tree suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

The trunk is short and thick, and the canopy is fluffy and hemispherical.

The tree stood alone, surrounded by stones of all sizes, but there was no vegetation around it.

This green color is a bit abrupt against the brown background.

The sailors were secretly surprised, they didn't expect that in such a barren place, there would be a tree.

"There must be groundwater here, go dig it!"

"Damn, I've been walking for so long and finally seeing green!"

"I love green!"

"Water water water!!"

……

Zheng Guo walked towards the tree, but his face showed no joy.

"It's a pity, it's a thorny root tree, and its root system is very penetrating and can go ten or even twenty meters deep into the ground, so it can survive in this extremely arid place. That is, the water it can 'drink', we don't necessarily drink. You see, there are no other plants around this tree, which means that even if there is groundwater in this place, it is very deep, and it is almost impossible to dig up water without the help of professional drilling equipment. ”

Hearing this, the sailors were a little discouraged.

It is so depressing to know that there is water in the ground, but not to get it.

"It's not useless, though."

Zheng Guo said as he walked to the edge of the tree and pulled out his dagger.

The camera pulls in, and the audience sees that the trunk of the tree is covered with pimples, and several spikes extend from the pimples, which looks a little hideous.

Even the plants grow so strongly, this land is really ......

Zheng Guo scraped off some of the spikes with the Black Star Dagger, and then cut hard at the trunk of the tree.

A deep wound immediately appeared on the trunk of the tree, from which a semi-congealed white sap flowed.

Zheng Guo dipped his fingers in the twig, then wiped the sap on his face and neck, explaining: "The sap contains a chemical ingredient that can effectively absorb ultraviolet rays, just like sunscreen. In fact, there are already cosmetics companies ready to use this sap to produce sunscreens, and perhaps they will appear on the market soon. ”

Coating all the exposed parts with sap, Zheng Guo left the tree and continued on his way.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, after applying natural sunscreen, I feel that the sun is really weakened, and my mind is much clearer.

After walking a short distance, Zheng Guo suddenly stopped again, his eyes looking at somewhere in front of him.

Not far away, a stone was shaking slightly.

When the audience saw this scene, they all held their breath and stared at the screen curiously.

Suddenly, a fist-sized head poked out from behind the stone.

The head is diamond-shaped, and the surface is shiny and shiny.

The audience was amazed to find that there were actually four eyes on the head.

Two are on the bottom and the other two are on the top, and the pupils are dark brown.

The upper two eyes are relatively slender and wider.

All four eyes were looking at this side.

Most people have only seen creatures with two eyes, but when they see a four-eyed monster at first glance, they always feel indescribably weird.

Zheng Guo stared at the four-eyed monster and pulled out the Heavenly Evil Knife.
