PS: Not changed

Deserts aren't necessarily lifeless. They are just relatively drier and hotter, making it difficult for both creatures and plants to survive here.

But no matter the harsh environment, there are always some tenacious creatures that can adapt to them.

Like cacti that have lost their foliage, or animals that are extremely drought and heat tolerant.

The scorching heat has made many animals diurnal and nocturnal.

In the hottest days, they often take refuge under the sand surface or in the shade of boulders and dead trees. When the sun went down and the heat quickly subsided, they went out to wander and forage for food.

The team slowly moved forward under the leadership of Varref, and even in the endless desert, he could tell the direction by the stars and guide everyone in the right direction.

Not far from the team of survivors, many palm-sized sand scorpions roamed the dunes.

These little creatures are poisonous, but they are smart not to attack enemies that are too large.

For example, these travelers around them at this moment, they are walking on this barren and sandy land clearly.

Seeing these scorpions, Variv grinned and said, "These sand scorpions are very good, if any of you like them, you can catch some, eat them raw or cook them before eating." ”

"Is there any special effect?" The open-minded and studious Jin Xuan approached and asked.

Just like Bisu Bosu can increase a certain amount of fire resistance when eaten, do these scorpions also have some special effects?

As a professional foodie for a day, Jin Xuan not only has a perverted taste, but also is very studious.

"There's nothing else to do but fill your stomach." Variv shrugged.

Although Varif's answer disappointed Jin Xuan, he still went to catch some sand scorpions to taste what it tasted like.

The survivors drove quietly for the night, encountering no other creatures except for a few sand scorpions, jerboas, and a few unnamed snakes.

Just as it was dawning, they stopped to eat something, rested for half an hour, and then hit the road again.

Fortunately, these survivors are not bad, and they are not tired.

But when the sun came out, they realized what a wise decision Variif had made to travel at night.

When the sun comes out, the temperature rises rapidly, and the sand and gravel on the surface of the ground become hot in the sunlight, like a red-hot iron plate, and there is no doubt that eggs can be fried on top of these sands. The female survivors can only complain at the moment, and not all of them can enjoy the same special treatment as Elizabeth.

Who made this tsundere countess not only have a beautiful swimmer appearance, but also have an inextricable relationship with Bao Conggo and others, and the most important thing is her powerful wizard status.

At this time, the value of the personnel in the east of the war is greatly reflected, and others can only use some cloth to support themselves from the heat to block the scorching sun in the sky.

But even so, it was still difficult to stop the rolling heatwave.

Those creatures that have lived in the desert for a long time do not want to be seen during the day, let alone these humans who did not grow up in the desert.

It's just that these survivors who have been strengthened many times have greatly improved their resistance, and although the scorching heat has made them feel a little bad, it is not unbearable.

"I'm going to drink water, I'm dying of thirst, damn weather!" One shouted discontentedly.

"I advise you to be a little more patient, until we find a source of water, this water must be used sparingly, or I will all have to die in the Arakno Desert." Varif's voice came coldly.

Without camels and other means of transportation, relying on humans to trek the desert is a painful ordeal.

"Is this really better than Earth?" One of the survivors muttered.

"Don't complain, at least we can use this harsh environment to get rid of our pursuers." The other reassured.

Yes, it was precisely because the environment was so harsh that they were more confident that they could shake off the pursuers hanging from their tails.

All they could pray for now was that when they reached Lugoin, the conditions would be a little better.

But even so, on the first day, more than a dozen people could not withstand the heat and fainted.

Elizabeth's ice magic is a cure for the heat.

After the hottest hours, the sun slipped down and the temperature gradually cooled, and it was only after experiencing the heat that they realized how comfortable the weather was at the moment.

After going forward some distance, the people stopped and rested.

The nutrients in their bodies were attacked by the scorching sun and sand, and they finally felt tired. Taking advantage of the cool weather, they searched around for some dead plants, piled them together, lit a bonfire, and started their dinner time.

These foods include the food they brought with them from Earth, the black bread and the jerky of the Fallen Demon that Kasha gave them, and of course the sand scorpions and jerboas that were taken locally.

I have to say that these sand scorpions taste really good when roasted.

These guys are bigger than ordinary scorpions, and they are rich in nutrients and protein.

While everyone was eating in disgrace, Lu Fei flew into the air on a magic bird, searching the surroundings through binoculars for water sources or chasing soldiers.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, as soon as the sky cleared, the survivors set out to move forward again.

Since everyone has only a little experience of surviving in the desert, the drinking water they store is naturally consumed very quickly.

By the fourth day, they had less and less water.

However, the water source and the oasis are still far away, and they can only continue to advance in the boundless yellow sand.

By this time, people had been forbidden to drink water, except for those who were really physically unable to bear it.

It was at this time that these rough men could only learn to get water from the plants that could be seen.

Sure enough, humanity's worst enemy is always nature.

Danger from nature is always looming.

By the afternoon of the fourth day, the speed of the survivor team had slowed down considerably.

They had to move slowly on the premise of saving energy and water, and when Lu Fei found an opportunity, he would fly into the air to check on other water sources that he could find to replenish everyone's water.

Humans are not camels, they don't have thick fur to protect them from sunburn, they don't have two sinks in front of their stomachs to store water, and their smooth skin and numerous pores only allow them to quickly dissipate heat and evaporate water during the scorching summer heat......

"Everyone is holding on for a while, and one day later, we will definitely be able to find a water source, I remember that there is a water source nearby, we will be able to cross this desert, as long as we find a water source, we can drink freely, even if it is a bath." Variif walks the flanks of the team to cheer up newcomers in the desert.

Just as he was about to lead the way in front of the team again, there was a sudden commotion.

"Damn it, what the hell is this! Pull me up, I'm swallowed by this sand. ”

"Beware of quicksand, this guy is going to swallow us all." Another exclaimed.

"Help me, save me quickly...... I don't want to die here......"

Hearing this, Varif finally understood what was going on, and immediately shouted: "Don't struggle, don't struggle, that will only make your stuffing deeper and tighter, believe us, we will save you." ”

Hearing the chaos ahead, Bao Conggo and others also hurried over.

The crisis from the Aranok Desert has finally befallen them.
