168. The crisis of Aranok

When the water is evaporated by the high temperature, the remaining sand forms a liquefied soil, which looks the same as ordinary sand, but when it is subjected to more than a certain point, it will collapse and sink until the space occupied by the water is filled.

A huge whirlpool of quicksand, which looked like a whirlpool, swallowed the survivors at the front, and the sand that kept flowing and sinking made the survivors sink with it.

"Varref, are you sure we'll be fine without struggling?" One of the survivors caught in the quicksand shouted.

"If you don't struggle, we still have hope to save you, and if you struggle, the hope will be very slim. Hurry up and throw the heavier stuff out of your body. This will make you sink into a shallower position. Variv shouted.

"Count the number of people, and when the quicksand subsidence stops, we will come forward to save people. Remember not to pull them hard, but to dig them out of the sand little by little. Variif reminded the crowd over and over again.

When the quicksand is devouring humans, forcibly pulling them out is very likely to tear people apart, because at this time, humans are under great pressure and adhesion, and if they want to survive, they can only stop struggling, let the quicksand end, and then dig themselves out.

"Can't you hurry up? This is fucking like a kang sweet potato, Lao Tzu is about to be resisted ripening. One of the survivors shouted from below, but obediently stopped struggling.

Interestingly, the quicksand seemed to be massive, but it stopped sinking after devouring the waists and even chests of the survivors.

Five minutes later, the quicksand subsidence finally ended, and a huge crater of 500 square meters appeared around it.

Many survivors also hurriedly stepped forward to dig out those who were buried, and everyone was relieved for a while, but fortunately there were no casualties.

When it was over, Variif burst out laughing.

"Let's hurry up and look for it, we have met quicksand here, and there will definitely be a water source nearby. Because the formation of these quicksands is inseparable from the water, there must be a water source nearby. Varif shouted excitedly.

Hearing the news, everyone was very excited.

Lu Fei also flew high in the magic bird, and then probed the surrounding environment.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lu Fei to shout excitedly: "I saw it, I saw it...... There is an oasis in the southeast and we have finally found a source of water......"

Having found their way, the group rested and marched southeast.

Three hours later, they finally arrived at this oasis of bushes.

The barren and scorching heat of the desert make it difficult for plants to survive, but if they are given a chance, they will regain their roots and cover the land.

Water is their most important dependent.

Groundwater, hidden above the rock formations beneath the surface of the sand, is constantly swimming through the desert and then overflowing in a low-lying area for plants and animals to survive.

As soon as they entered the oasis, some men with scarves and scimitars and camels appeared before them and asked, "Are you a caravan?" Looks pretty embarrassing! ”

"We are merchants from Canduras, we are going to Lu 61 Gaine, we have run out of water, and we hope to be able to replenish some water here. What tribe are you from? Variif asked.

Hearing Varif's words, the desert nomads looked at each other and let down their guard and said, "Welcome to the Shehebe!" ”

After finding the oasis, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Follow these desert nomads into the oasis and come to their gathering place.

This tribe of about two hundred people, with many camels and a small number of other herbivores, survived the desert of Aranok, walking with the groundwater, exchanging goods with passing merchants, and sometimes driving their herds into the nearby bazaar to buy necessities.

This is a group of human beings with very strong survival ability, and in this barren land, they have gradually evolved their own survival mode.

When they saw the water source, the survivors immediately drank a full meal, then filled their tanks with clean water and washed themselves again, and then they went to chat with the Shekh people.

That night, the survivors bought a cow with gold coins and slaughtered it for the crowd to feast on.

At the same time, I communicated with the people of the Shekh tribe and bought some camels and leather bags for water.

Just as the bonfire feast was about to end, the patriarch of the Nasheh tribe spoke: "If you can, I advise you not to go to Lu 61 Gaoin, there has been some trouble there lately......"

"What happened to Lu 61 Gaoyin?" Hearing the words of the Sheikh clan chief Lachard, another bad premonition arose for Varif.

"For some unknown reason, the creatures around the gravel wasteland and dry highlands have become very irritable, and some passing caravans have also suffered and disappeared from this desert completely." LaChart kindly persuaded.

"Didn't Sultan Jehine issue any notice, or have his guards check on what's going on?" Variif asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's why I advise you not to go there, because our king has been silent, and it makes us have some doubts, and all we can do now is hope that the monsters who don't know what they are won't come here." Rathard, the patriarch of the Shah tribe, voiced his concerns.

"Haha, Patriarch Ratchat, don't worry about us, we are all powerful warriors, and we can still deal with the general situation." Jin Xuan laughed.

This small episode, which did not cause much of a stir, was hastily concluded, and the survivors went to rest after they had eaten and drunk.

Varif found Patriarch Lachard again.

"Patriarch Lachad, there's one thing I have to tell you." Variv spoke.

"What's the matter?" LaChart.

"This group of people is very dangerous for some reason, if anyone asks you about it, just say that it is a caravan of Lu 61 Gaoin, and the number is three hundred. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will bring you unnecessary trouble! You have to believe that I, as a Lu 61 Gaoyin person, will not harm you. Varif explained to LaChard.

"Can you tell me who those people are?" Lachard nodded cautiously.

"A bunch of lackeys from the church of Sacalam, you know these guys are never reasonable." Variif explained to Rathard.

The next day, dawn.

The survivors got up early to drive their camels and wagons into the depths of the Aranok Desert.

By this time, they had crossed half of the Aranok Desert, and under the guidance of Varref, a professional guide, they did not even take a trace of wrongdoing, and had been driving in the direction of Lu 61 Gaoin.

After another day in the desert, an incident occurred at noon the next day, forcing them to slow down their advance.

The people who were hurrying were unprepared when they were attacked by a wave of stone bullets.

The two unlucky fellows were smashed on the spot and bled out, but luckily their camels did not recover any damage.

When Yang Li ran in the direction of those attacks with his weapons in his hand, some monsters that were more than a person tall sprang out of the yellow sand and quickly fled to the depths of the desert.
