Chapter Ninety-Four: The Devil's Sea
Gu Jie was stunned when he heard this, and he was stunned for five seconds! After that, he asked Jiang Qi in confusion: "You say... What the hell? The Devil's Sea?? There's no saliva in this place, where does the sea come from? ”
Jiang Qi was still very nervous in the direction where Yudong and Qin Zhen left, and at this time he replied absentmindedly, "Yes, it's something similar to a mirage." I can't explain to you why Qin Zhen saw that thing right now. I just hope they don't go too far, otherwise they won't be able to come back......"
"How can this still be so strict?!" Gu Jie exclaimed in surprise.
Ma Chao rushed to Gu Jie's side at this time, and his brows were furrowed when he heard this. After looking at the place where Qin Zhen and the others disappeared, he explained to Gu Jie seriously, "Brother Gu, this matter is really strict!" Experienced people who have lived in the desert for a long time will call this strange phenomenon the 'devil's sea'. But it's not the same as a mirage.
A mirage occurs because the temperature above the air is higher than the ground, and the distant ground is refracted into the air. The Devil's Sea is because the air temperature of the layer close to the ground is much higher than the air temperature of one or two meters above. In addition, there was a drizzle just now, the humidity increased, and the scorching sun evaporated the water, and the one or two meters that were twisted would refract the sky into an ocean, and then reflected on the ground.
So if you are unfortunate enough to be seen by a traveler in the desert, you will mistake it for a clear blue lake. But when you really chase it, you will find that the lake, which is not too far away, has always maintained that distance, which is out of reach. In the end, exhaustion, thirst, and getting lost will eventually kill those who seek the Devil's Sea! ”
Gu Jie's liver trembled when he heard it! I opened my mouth and didn't know what to say! He couldn't have imagined that Qin Zhen rushed out like that just now, and it was actually to pursue the devil sea that hooked people's lives!! He didn't expect that yes, he had always felt that Qin Zhen was the most determined and persevering person among the little brothers, how could he be the first and only one among the nine people who saw that kind of illusion?
Needless to say, you can know that Gu Jie couldn't stay at all after hearing this! Now I can't wait to catch up with Yudong and Qin Zhen soon! But Jiang Qi also told him, Yudong said before he left, no one can leave, not even camels can deviate from the original route.
So now they can only do it in a hurry, and no one dares to act rashly. This made Gu Jie even more anxious! I want to rush out regardless of it, but think about it, I can't put everyone's lives at risk!
The caravan is slowing down. There are close friends in front of them whose life and death are uncertain, but their team of camels is like a leisurely stroll. This feeling can really kill a living person in a hurry! If it weren't for the relationship at this time, Gu Jie might have made a mistake a long time ago!
Lan Qing also saw Gu Jie's forcible restraint of his pain, so he slowly spoke and comforted Gu Jie in the back, "We have to believe Brother Dong, he will definitely bring Brother Qin back!" They'll all be safe! "Aren't these words the wish of everyone here?
Gu Jie just nodded after hearing this, and didn't say anything more. It's not that he doesn't believe in Yu Dong's ability, but he really doesn't dare to relax in any way in this devil desert. Who knows what will happen to them when they run out? But at the moment, there is no other way than to pin all your hopes on Yudong.
At this time, Jiang Qi in front of him poured a basin of cold water on them without leaving any room: "The Devil's Sea is definitely not that simple!" If it's just a phenomenon of optical refraction, why isn't it in the category of mirages? And why isn't there such a fantastical name? There must be a reason why it is said to be the sea of the devil! ”
"Dude, it's okay, you just tell me directly! I'm going to be happy then! Gu Jie said to Jiang Qi uncharacteristically and extremely calmly.
Jiang Qi hesitated for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "There are many extreme terrain and quicksand around the Devil's Sea, and most of them are naturally formed deadly traps. And once you catch up with that 'sea', the surrounding scene is instantly weird and indistinguishable, and you can't tell the truth from the false at all, let alone find the direction. In it, you can only be trapped alive!
If you don't catch up, then you don't need to say more, praise the results of the father day by day. I know Dong Shao and know his temper. If it was just a mirage, he would never be so nervous. ”
Hearing this, let's not talk about whether the devil's sea is really that terrifying and weird. Let's just say Jiang Qi's analysis of Yudong, it is absolutely reasonable! It really had to be an extraordinary thing to make that young master panic like he had just done.
"So what now!" Gu Jie looked at Jiang Qi anxiously.
"Do as Dong Shao instructs. If the caravan is now scattered, or deviates from the original camel path. Not only will they not be able to come back, but we will also not be able to get out. Jiang Qi said with a solemn face.
Rao is Gu Jie is usually impatient and stunned, but at the real critical moment, he still understands the rational decision! So at this moment, he quietly gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge to rush out to find Qin Zhen and Yu Dong.
Because Gu Jie knew in his heart that now that Yudong was not there, Qin Zhen had fallen into the path of the Devil Sea again. The vulnerable team is exactly when he and Jiang Qi need protection, and there must be no more chaos at this time, otherwise the lives of the rest of the teammates will not be guaranteed!
Fortunately, the lead camel is still moving steadily and regularly, and it seems that he did not change his route in a panic because of the lack of two. This made Jiang Qi's tough guy's heart a little more steady, because in this case, Yudong could at least follow the camel path to find it back.
At this time, everyone on the hunchback, the direction that their anxious eyes were looking at was the direction in which Qin Zhen and Yu Dong left.
Although this wild camel is good at running in the desert, it is not a horse after all. This also made Yudong catch up with Qin Zhen a little faster. When he finally caught up with Qin Zhen, he found that Qin Zhen was still looking straight ahead, his eyes were blank.
Yu Dong shouted anxiously, "Qin Zhen! Qin Zhen! You sober up, you see clearly, there is nothing ahead! But no matter how Yudong shouted, Qin Zhen still turned a deaf ear and urged the camel to continue to run forward.
Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the direction of the team, Yu Dong couldn't help frowning. After a slight hesitation, he immediately drove the camel to the front of Qin Zhen. At a distance of twenty meters from Qin Zhen, he turned over and fell to the ground. Then he stood quietly in the yellow sand, coldly watching the wild camel carrying Qin Zhen rushing towards him a little crazy......
Qin Zhen could only see the blue and clear lake water in front of him, and he didn't know why he was close in front of him, but he couldn't run away...... It's like a demon in my head, and all I think about is that I have to find the edge of the lake! Only when you get there, can you live......
I don't know if what blinded Qin Zhen's eyes and mind was the devil's sea or the instinctive desire to survive in the cruel environment of the desert.
But suddenly, Qin Zhen felt that the water of the lake began to blur, and he faintly found that there was a tall and thin figure standing not far in front of him! Is that...
Qin Zhen's consciousness was confused, but he could see the person in front of him. I also knew that I was urging the camel to run towards the man! Who's looking for death here?? Ouyang Hai rescued people and stopped horses, is this idiot looking for death to stop the camel?
While he was thinking wildly, the wild camel had already run in front of Yudong. If it continues to develop according to the normal situation, then Yudong will undoubtedly die miserably! Because the weight of an adult wild Bactrian camel is about 800 kilograms, and if gravity is added to the running, even if Yudong was a street performer in his early years and broke a boulder in his chest, he would still be dead.
But the strange thing is that just when the camel was about to hit Yudong, the camel, which couldn't make a sound lightly, actually let out a rapid purr! And I desperately want to stop right away! It's clear that it doesn't seem to want to hurt Yuto.
But the strong inertia made it eventually hit Yuto! But the most surprising thing is that at the moment when the camel hit Yudong, Yudong turned sideways and resisted the camel that couldn't stop with his left shoulder! Then, the camel stopped, and Yudong still maintained that posture and did not move!! Just like the oldest tree species in the Taklamakan Desert--- poplar, it stands tall in the sky and will not fall for thousands of years!
With this strong impact, Qin Zhen's chest was so shocked that he almost vomited blood. But this made his consciousness suddenly sober up! He looked at Yu Dong in front of him in confusion, and then looked at the yellow sand around him, and then he said to Yu Dong with great difficulty, "It seems that I have caused you trouble again...... After speaking, he was dizzy for a while, and immediately fell off the camel's back.
