Section 19 Quicksand

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, Chen Yin set up a tent and lit a fire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen the sun goes down, the weather quickly gets icy.

During the day, the hot air is blowing in your face, and it feels like you're in a dryer. And now, the cold wind blowing in the face drills straight into the cracks of people's bones, and after a while, the joints of people's bones are swollen and painful.

The clever sand lizard had already burrowed into the sand next to the fire, leaving only two nostrils exposed to breathe in the cold air.

The red light of the fire stretched the shadows of the two long, dancing with the firelight between the undulating sand dunes.

At such times, there is no more comfortable bowl of hot broth, take a bite of the burnt bread, drink a mouthful of thick broth, chew it a little and swallow it together, only to feel warm from the esophagus to the stomach.

When you have hot food in your stomach, your body warms up quickly.

After drinking the last mouthful of broth, Chen Yin arrived at some water and coarsely rinsed the dishes and chopsticks, and after being busy, he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he took off his shoes and socks and put his feet next to the fire to bake the soles of his feet.

The witch wrinkled her nose and changed her position, out of sight and out of mind.

"If you sweat all over the day, it's easy to have problems if you don't test your feet comfortably at night." Chen Yin said seriously.

The black-haired girl glanced at Chen Yin, and after eating it in a hurry, she took out a card under Chen Yin's attention......

As the card turns into a blue circle of light envelops the black-haired girl and her bowls, when the aperture disappears, not only the sweat and dust that made the witch look embarrassed are gone, but even the bowl she just used becomes recognizable.

“…… I remember I've seen this thing, and it's pretty good...... It's called 'cleaning', right? I think Angel has used it too. Chen Yin scratched his chin, a little embarrassed.

"Well, of course, it's a blessing as a saint." The black-haired girl casually threw one to Chen Yin.

After Chen Yin confirmed it with the True Vision effect, he found that the qualifier of this card was actually Vittoria, that is, the witch's real name.

"It makes me want to be a saint." Chen Yin threw the card back, didn't wear socks, and stuffed his feet into his shoes again, "Go to bed early, get up early tomorrow, and do more before the sun rises......"

"Hmm." Vittoria flicked her ponytail and slipped into her tent.

While his body was still hot, Chen Yin also hurried back to the tent and wrapped himself tightly with layers of fur and fabric.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, the embers of the fire were still curling with green smoke.

Chen Yin, who woke up early in the morning, wiped the tip of his wet nose, yawned and lit the fire, poured clean water into the pot, and boiled a pot of hot boiling water.

Drinking hot water and munching on leftover toast from yesterday, Chen Yin spread out the map provided by Vittoria to identify the direction and determine his location.

"What's the catch?" Vittoria emerged from the tent with a lingering tiredness on her face, apparently she hadn't slept well the previous night.

Chen Yin shook his head: "There is no reference, I can only make a rough estimate." At our current rate, it's about 5 days away. ”

"Show me." Vittoria took the bread in her mouth, took the map in Chen Yin's hand and looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect you to look at the map, I really didn't expect ......"

"What's this?" In Chen Yin's hometown, even teenagers know how to read a map. However, for the backward level of civilization, and most people regard the map in their hands as an heirloom, so there are few circulations, and there are not many people who naturally understand it.

Seeing that Chen Yin was going to get some water to wash again, Vittoria couldn't help frowning: "How long is the water enough?" ”

"Then let's see how many people drink." Chen Yin was a little amused, "If it's just the two of us, it's estimated that we can drink it for a whole year." ”

"Hey, what are you doing with so much water? Where did I put it, why didn't I see it? The witch asked curiously.

Chen Yin just shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the card placed next to him.

The two silently finished breakfast and embarked on the journey silently, for some reason, the words between the two became less and less, and sometimes they couldn't say a word in the morning.

In fact, this is inevitable, after all, as an outsider, it is difficult for Chen Yin to have a common topic with the locals, and naturally there is nothing to say after chatting about this trip. And Vittoria is a proud person, so the two of them have no desire to chat.

As they went deeper and deeper into the desert, there was less and less communication between the two.

Today was their fourth day in the desert, and the two of them had not spoken for a whole day until now.

The four-headed sand lizard sailed slowly among the sand dunes like a boat in the sand sea......

In the midst of his ordinary journey, Chen Yin suddenly noticed a strange white stone thing on the desert in front of him.

"Wait."

As soon as the voice came out, Chen Yin himself was startled. He never thought that his voice would be so hoarse.

"How?" The witch opened her mouth, and her voice was dry and astringent.

"What is this?" Chen Yin jumped down from the back of the sand lizard, took a few steps to the side of Haag's white stone, gently brushed off the sand dust on it, and suddenly a thick leg bone was revealed under the yellow sand.

Seeing the leg bones, the witch also jumped down and looked around the bones with a serious face.

"It should be the bones of a sand lizard, it should be preyed." The witch said.

"Well, so is my judgment." Chen Yin nodded, and after saying a few words, his voice finally became less dry, "What I want to say is...... There may be predators around here......"

"It should be dried by ground pythons, so be careful, they will create a whirlpool of quicksand under your feet at any time and devour people." As she spoke, Vittoria tossed the bone back to the ground.

"Is there any way to do it?"

Regarding Chen Yin's question, Vittoria just shook her head slightly: "Not for the time being." ”

"Can I get around......

"No, the distribution of ground pythons is not regular, as long as you enter the desert, there is no way to avoid encountering them." Vittoria sighed.

Just as the two were discussing, Chen Yin suddenly felt that the sand under his feet seemed to bulge slightly upward.

“…… You ......" Before Chen Yin finished speaking, the desert that was still intact just now suddenly seemed to have opened a hole, and a huge quicksand whirlpool appeared out of thin air!

Fortunately, the quicksand whirlpool was still far away from Chen Yin and Vittoria, and the reaction speed of the two was very fast, and when the shock hit, the black-haired girl's body suddenly suspended in the air, avoiding the collapsed sand.

And Chen Yin dodged the range of the whirlpool with a roll, and there was no damage at all except for a little dust on his body.

However, the sand lizard that Chen Yin brought with them was not so lucky, and it struggled to fall down before it reacted, struggling from the bowl-shaped quicksand, but the sand on the ground was not only falling, but also vibrating in an orderly manner.

The gentle vibration brought greater fluidity to the sand, so that the sand lizard on the wall of the "bowl" could not borrow any strength at all, and every futile twisting of the limbs could only allow more yellow sand to be swept into the bottom of the "bowl", but it could not climb up at all.

As the sand lizard got closer and closer to the bottom of the "bowl", two huge mouthparts like antlers emerged from below, and a pale green mouth could be faintly seen in the middle of the two "antlers".

Everything happened in an instant, and when Chen Yin and Vittoria escaped one after another, they had the time to look back at the quicksand whirlpool that suddenly appeared, and then they saw this scene:

The two "antlers" grabbed the sand lizard that was struggling desperately at lightning speed, and then the two "antlers" were surprised that the two "antlers" could easily lift the sand lizard longer than the van! Then he fell heavily to the ground......

"Bump!"

After a muffled sound, a large amount of yellow sand rolled down from the wall of the "bowl", and the falling sand even buried half of the sand lizard. But within a few seconds, the sand that had already overflowed disappeared from below, and I don't know why there is such a huge space for sand under the quicksand whirlpool......

The beating was far from over, and the two "antlers" lifted the sand lizard violently again, and fell heavily to the ground again.

"Bump!"

"Whoosh!"

Chen Yin had already reacted, and when the "antlers" mouthparts lifted the sand lizard for the second time, his arrows were there

Sorry, it's late again, I'll fix it later......

"Hey, what are you doing with so much water? Where did I put it, why didn't I see it? The witch asked curiously.

Chen Yin just shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the card placed next to him.
