The scorching sun is like a thousand sharp arrows, falling from the sky and covering the entire desert.

Walking in the sun, needle gold feels like a fish on a heated iron plate. In order to avoid being roasted, he could only walk in the back of the sand dunes as much as possible, and even then, after walking for a while, he felt a violent exertion in his physical strength.

At the same time, a feeling of hunger was faintly conveyed to him.

Needle Gold licked his lips, his lips were so dry that he had difficulty swallowing a mouthful of spit.

Thirsty.

Needle Gold was as silent as iron, actively reducing his speed and strolling forward while calculating the time.

Because he was unconscious, he didn't know exactly how much time had passed.

"But at least one night and half a day, I didn't eat or drink anything. It's normal to feel hungry and thirsty. ”

Under normal circumstances, if a person does not eat for such a long period of time, he must be hungry and thirsty. What's more, Needlegold experienced a terrifying sandstorm and experienced this ordeal, which made him consume a lot of physical strength and energy, and the struggle between life and death also made his spirit suffer a strong impact.

"My only food now is this snake. Needle Gold glanced at the snake corpse on his shoulder, silently thinking about his situation.

The island is vicious, and the situation is very serious to survive in the wild.

In the rainforest and forest before, the needle gold was in distress several times. Now in the middle of the desert, where resources are very poor, the abundant rainforest forests are a paradise in comparison.

"Fortunately, during this time, once I had time, I asked Cangsu for advice, and I knew many ways to survive in the desert. ”

Because he didn't understand the mechanism of teleportation, he had long considered that he might be sent to the desert in the future.

For this, he has already made some preparations.

"It's best to find an oasis and I'll be able to replenish with plenty of water and food right away. ”

"It's good to meet cacti. ”

"But to be specific to the cactus. According to Cang Xu, many cacti are not edible and contain toxins. And digging cacti will consume a lot of physical strength and water in the body. Doing it blindly will outweigh the losses. ”

The exploration party was also teleported and reduced to the desert. They rely mainly on food and water that they carry.

In this regard, the needle gold is not unprepared.

Every day he carried a certain amount of food and water with him, and even when he slept in the tent at night, he kept important survival resources such as food, water, and weapons by his side.

For the exploration team, led by Needlegold, teleportation is silent and cannot be disobeyed.

Associated lifeforms or items around the teleported lifeform will also be teleported.

Therefore, the previous exploration team was sent into the desert with the entire team, and the clothes, equipment, etc. on their bodies were not left behind.

This time, the entire camp that Needle Gold ordered to build was teleported.

But no one expected that after teleporting to the desert, it would be enveloped and raging by violent winds and sands.

At that time, after the needle gold was awakened, he was bent on saving people, but he grabbed a knife and ran out of the camp.

Therefore, the food, water, etc., in the tent were swept away by the wind and sand, and buried.

The original leather armor of the needle gold did not have time to be worn, and the weapon made of the spider blade and spider feet was only the one left in his hand.

"Thankfully, even though I was unconscious, I clutched my weapon and didn't let go. At least that didn't put me in the grip of being defenseless again. ”

"But I still have food and water, basically nothing. I should replenish those reserves. I couldn't have lived without them. ”

An invisible pressure silently accumulated in the teenager's heart.

And soon, this pressure became more and more intense, as if it was carrying a boulder in my heart, and it became heavier and heavier.

Needlegold's breathing became shorter and shorter.

It's not just because of the scorching desert air, and it's not just because of his declining physical strength.

"Surviving alone is completely different from before. A deep emotion arose in the young man's heart.

He slowly stopped, pausing in the shadows of a sand dune, his hands on his knees, giving himself a chance to breathe.

How long has it been?

Surviving alone has made him feel that his whole body is slowly and involuntarily tense.

A heavy sense of loneliness enveloped him firmly.

No one can rely on him, no one can expect it, he can only rely on himself.

It seemed that he was the only one left in heaven and earth, as if the entire human race was dead.

He had to face all difficulties and dangers alone.

"Perhaps I will die here, my flesh gnawed by predators, leaving only white bones, exposed to the sun by the day, the cold of the night, and finally worn to pieces by the wind and sand, and completely disappeared into this vast and indifferent world. ”

Such similar thoughts kept popping up in Needlegold's mind.

No matter how much he pressed, he couldn't stop.

A trace of panic spread in his heart and quickly expanded.

Needle Gold gritted his teeth and showed a bitter smile.

Cangsu once warned him that, according to his research, man is actually a social animal, and needs the company of others from the deepest part of his body.

Once people survive alone, especially in the face of the great pressure of surviving in the wild, it is easy to get nervous and panic. If left unchecked, negative emotions can be deadly. Even with plenty of food and water, and a safe environment, it can lead to uncontrollable emotions, mental breakdowns, hallucinations, and insaneness.

Now that the boy has experienced it himself, he suddenly has a very deep understanding when he thinks back to Cangsu's theory.

"Calm, calm, don't panic. ”

Needle Gold forced himself to calm down, but without success.

"God, my Emperor, you have the name of the Holy Wisdom. Your followers are here to pray to You, please give me the strength of my humble heart, so that I will no longer be weak and no longer panic. Let me courageously walk the path You have guided and make Your name known to You. ”

He prayed to his god again, but the result did not surprise him in the slightest—the god did not respond.

He simply sat down on the sand.

He looked out over the desert and watched the monotonous yellow spread out, eventually blending with the blue of the sky.

The scorching sun made the air twist like crazy.

The young man suddenly felt that the whole desert was like a madman who was calm on the surface, but in fact there was no cure. Here, sooner or later, he will be melted and driven crazy!

"Needle gold, needle gold, how did you get to this situation?"

"How did you get to this point?"

"You're the sole heir of the Hundred Needles family, and you're Miss Zidi's fiancé, are you here now?"

The boy asked himself angrily.

The situation was so bad that he couldn't even protect himself.

But what can it be?

In the face of these self-reproaches, he could only be silent.

Long.

The silent boy let out a breath of turbidity and said to himself, "Indeed, there is nothing worse than now, isn't it?"

Then, he smiled wryly.

He actually thought it was strange that he could laugh in such a situation.

With this laughter, the anger and panic in his heart dissipated somewhat, and a new mood of sadness, helplessness, and self-deprecation was added.

Then, miraculously, the young man with complicated feelings slowly calmed down.

Needle Jin, who had calmed down, looked around and immediately realized that he had made a huge mistake before.

He was too concerned about food and water before, he chose a random direction and walked, which was simply self-defeating in the desert!

Perhaps, he was so nervous at that time that this emotion filled his mind, so that he didn't think much about it, and his body was forced to act directly.

"I should have looked in the right direction and kept going. ”

"Without direction, my journey would probably be in a huge circle in the desert, which would be worse than going around in circles. ”

It was the middle of the day, and there was no moon or stars to guide the way.

But Needle Gold had mastered another method, the one he had asked Cangsu for advice on how to identify directions.

Stick a stick in the ground and make a mark at the top of the shadow of the stick on the ground. After about ten minutes, mark the shadow of the stick after it has been disoriented.

When the two markers are joined into a line, the middle perpendicular line of the line is the north-south direction.

As for which end point to the bottom line is north or south, it depends on where the sun is located.

The position of the sun, the end of the perpendicular line is south, and the other end is north.

Needle Gold didn't know the topographical map of the island, but he clearly remembered that the expedition team had been teleported to the desert before, and the direction chosen by Ayursu was due south.

Therefore, in the absence of other judgment basis, he had to gamble this time and chose due south.

Once again, Needle Gold tries to avoid the sun and walks on the back of the dunes.

His speed dropped again and again, trying his best to conserve his strength.

Many times, he took the initiative to stop and rest.

"I have to conserve my energy. ”

"Trekking in the desert during the day is physically exertional. What's more important is that after the body sweats, a lot of water is consumed. ”

"The more you sweat, the closer you are to death. ”

This is all the valuable knowledge obtained from the exchange between the needle gold and the cangsu before.

And when Needle Jin remained calm, loneliness and the pressure of survival also stimulated him, making him more agile and clearer.

He remembered what the other party had said when he communicated with Huang Zao before.

"At that time, I was new to the boat and a novice. In the beginning, it was very difficult. I worked on deck all day, had a lot of work, and got sunburned very quickly. In the beginning, it was just itchy skin. People can't help but scratch with their fingernails. Later, the flesh becomes tingling, forming blisters that are close together. I started to have a low-grade fever, my mind was dizzy all day, and I could only lie in a hammock every day. Then the low-grade fever turned into a high-pitched fever, and I began to stink, and the other sailors did not dare to come near me. Some people even suggested to the captain that they should throw me away, thinking that I had an epidemic and would spread it to other people. ”

"Luckily, my brother got herbs from the local natives of the island when a ship docked. This herb is said to be made from sea mud and local leaves. After applying it, there is a burst of cool feeling, which is very magical. ”

"Eventually, I survived. Since then, I have never dared to underestimate the most ordinary sunshine. And keep the purest respect for these ancient potions!"

Thinking of this, he took off the outermost layer of his clothes and tried to wrap it around his head.

He was glad that his underwear was long-sleeved trousers, which left him with very little bare skin in the sun.

"Although I have far more strength and physical fitness than xanthophyria, this is not the Phoenix Desert, and the possibility of sunburn is very low. But by doing so, I was also able to keep as much water as possible in my body. ”
