Chapter 231: The Storm Rises

"Okay~, I've done my best to temporarily suppress your son's poison~!You only have two days to rush to the capital of the earth country, but I still remind you for the last time, only spiritual cultivators who are proficient in the way of water can be healed, so even if you can enter the capital unharmed, you may not be able to find someone who cultivates the way of water. Tianxing said that, then picked up Shui Lu and walked forward.

Yue Ying glanced at Likun, and then turned his face: "Phew~!I knew that I saved such a thing as you, so I wouldn't have to make so much effort~!Miss Shuilu won't lack spiritual power because of saving you~!"

After Yue Ying finished speaking, he put his index finger and thumb in his mouth, making a pleasant 'shh

Zhao Zong didn't stop when he passed by Likun, but just whispered to him: "You should believe him~!"

When he looked at the head of the 'borer' on the side, his eyes immediately became much clearer, as if he had made some decision, and immediately got up and shouted to Tianxing: "You are going in the wrong direction, you should go this way to the Sand Clan~!" After speaking, he carried the child in his arms on his back, and led the way in front of Tianxing and the others to continue to move forward.

Under the leadership of Likun, everyone walked in the blazing desert, and the feet were extremely uncomfortable with the hot sand, Yue Ying had already seen the ghost tarantula devouring Wan's huge piece of insect flesh, and his spirit was extremely atrophied, and after the inspection, he found that there was no major problem, so he put it back into the weeping soul on his waist, and after walking for about half an hour, he only heard Likun shouting: "Look at it, there is a camel in front of you~!"

When they looked up, they saw five camels standing on the sand in front of them, carrying some burdens on their backs.

Yue Ying was overjoyed, and immediately strode forward with all his might, and when he ran to the front and back of the camel, he grabbed the reins and waved his hand to signal everyone to hurry over.

"Hmmm~!Great, these camels should have survived the battle with those borers before, and sure enough, good people have good rewards. Zhao Zong guessed when he saw the goods on the hunchback.

"Let's see if there is water and food first~!" Tianxing immediately rejoiced.

Yue Ying carefully rummaged through the goods, and sure enough, he found two water bladders and a bag of dry food, Tianxing took one of the water bladders, and after pouring a few mouthfuls of water to Shui Lu, Shui Lu's face immediately looked better, but because the water source was too small, it was still difficult to recover the spiritual power.

Li Kun looked at the surrounding queen and said, "Let's hurry up and sort out these goods, we can also ride these camels conveniently, the camels have long legs, and their hooves are flat, wide and elastic, so that they will not be trapped when walking in the sand." And there are often winds and sand in the desert, and if we don't hurry back to the tribe before dark, we will be in danger of our lives. “

After everyone listened, they nodded and immediately rearranged the goods on the camel's back, re-tied the reins between the camels, and finally had three camels available for riding, so they were ridden by Zhao and Yue, Shui Lu and Tianxing, and the one that sat in front of the child with the child in his arms, with the continuous ringing of the camel bell, everyone finally started to go on the road again.

During the ride, Yue Ying looked at the camel under his crotch and asked Li Kun very curiously, "Why are camels not afraid of wind and sand?"

Li Kun felt the even breathing of the child in his arms, and after feeling that he was fine, he replied: "The camel is not afraid of wind and sand, mainly because the structure of its nose and eyelashes is relatively special. It has a valve-like structure inside its nose, and when the desert is blowing strong wind and sand, the camel only needs to close the valve-like nostrils, and it will not be affected by the wind and sand. The camel's eyelashes are twofold, and when the wind and sand are raised, its double curtain-like eyelashes can block the sand and prevent it from blowing into its eyes. That's why camels can walk in arid deserts without fear of wind and sand. ”

As soon as Li Kun finished answering Yue Ying's question, the camel under his crotch let out a low snoring sound, and Li Kun's face changed greatly: "It's not good~, what is it really promoting~!"

As soon as the words fell, the sky changed its face in an instant, and the rolling yellow sand protruded, Yue Ying didn't dare to say a word when he saw this scene, and stuck his head in his arms.

"Oh no~!The desert in this area is a mobile desert, if we don't leave quickly, we will all die at the bottom of the sand.... Woo~!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the wind.

All natural phenomena in the desert are linked, and the situation of everyone at this time could not be worse! Suddenly, a menacing sandstorm swept in.

The wind was fierce, the sand and gravel were rampant, and countless fine sand were like 'crackling' like rain hitting the sieve hats, splitting their heads and covering their faces, and the pain was as hot as a knife. Tiny grains of sand penetrated into everyone's eyes, noses and mouths, and everyone could only close their eyes tightly, cover their mouths and noses with their hands, and curl up on camels.

"Take off your clothes and cover your heads, don't let the sand get into your mouth and nose! Hold on to the reins with your right hand and be careful to fall, be sure to hold on, in this case getting lost will mean death!"

Yue Ying and Zhao Zong each took off their clothes and tightly wrapped their heads, Tianxing took off his clothes, quickly wrapped them around his and Shui Lu's heads, and hugged the weak Shui Lu tightly in his arms, at such a close distance from Shui Lu, he felt Shui Lu's mouth constantly panting, and his face was dyed with a layer of redness.

I don't know how long he walked, but gradually, Tianxing felt that the sandstorm seemed to be much smaller, so through the gap in his clothes, he found that the surrounding scenery gradually became clearer, but beyond the sand fog that seemed to be fainting and fading, he felt that something was wrong: why did one after another strange and huge black shadows suddenly appear in the desert of Pingchuan? What was even more strange was that there was a sharp whimper in the whistling wind.

"What is this~?"......

Dark shadows surrounded them. The piercing cry was getting closer and louder, making the scalp tingle.

"Grandma's bear~, what kind of place is this~!" The sandstorm weakened, Yue Ying stretched out his head and exhaled, "Why am I so like the scene in that dead door, it can't be a ghost town~!"

"Isn't it the ruins of the ghost moth clan? Isn't it also mentioned in the legend, 'As long as someone approaches the sand dunes where the ancient city is buried, a sandstorm will suddenly rise, and the ancient city will faintly ......appear in the wind and sand?"

Is this really the case? Everyone looked around uneasily, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts.

"You don't have to worry. "This is a common area of wind erosion in our desert. ”

As you slowly walk in, these strange black shadows reveal their true colors, and one by one they have been carved into various steep mounds carved by the wind and sand in front of everyone's eyes.

Familiar with the desert, Likun patiently explained to the crowd: "These mounds are a kind of wind-eroded landform unique to desert areas. Many years ago, it may have been a dry and cracked lake bottom, and the desert wind blew along these fissures, causing the fissures to grow larger and larger, and eventually to fall apart, forming this hill-like mound of various shapes. As for the sounds you hear, they are the strange cries of the wind as they pass through the cracks in the mounds, and they are not the work of any ghosts. Moreover, after entering the wind erosion area, the sandstorm will weaken a lot, which is the best choice for the current environment~!"

It turned out that this was the case, and everyone suddenly realized, but for some reason, Tianxing always felt that this strange-shaped mound had an indescribable sense of fear.

They are criss-crossed and arranged so that you can't see what's inside at a glance, as if something is hidden...... To be precise, there seems to be something restless, taking advantage of the staggered arrangement of these mounds, stealthily hiding inside, waiting for the unsuspecting to enter......

"窸窸窣窣窣~窸窸窣窣"

Sensing that something was wrong, Tianxing stared at the mounds in horror, and heard a slight strange noise in his ears. "That's definitely not the rumor~!" Tianxing said secretly.

Tianxing's heart was beating like a drum and he looked left and right, and suddenly, a black shadow flashed quickly from behind the mound to his right. "Huh~!is that~??" Tianxing stared at the place where the black shadow passed by, and his heart jumped to his throat all of a sudden.

"What's wrong with you?" Hearing Tianxing's voice of surprise, Shui Lu asked weakly.

"Uh~, it seems to be a human, but it doesn't look like a human?Forget it, it's not possible that I'm dazzled~" Tianxing replied with some unconfidence.

At that moment, two more black shadows flashed from behind the mound. Now, the stars were seen.

"Are those dark shadows human?" Shui Lu guessed uncertainly. "Could it be a merchant like us trapped in a sandstorm? Maybe we can ask them for help, and we can all escape together. ”

"Are you sure they are human?" Zhao Zong's voice suddenly came from the side, with an incredible expression on his face, and he pointed in the direction of the other side in disbelief and said: "I just saw that the first shadow is short and thin, although it looks like a child, but the speed of the child cannot be as fast as it, and the movements of the two shadows behind it are also so strange, like crawling between the rocks twisted on the ground~!"

It's not people? What is that? Everyone gasped.

"We won't encounter those borers again, will we?" Yue Ying pouted.

"It's unlikely, although the recent activity of those borers is a little rampant, but most of the time they are still active at night, and the chance of encountering them twice a day is really not great~! Li Kun said.

"Then let's go over and have a look~!" Yue Ying suggested.

Just when everyone's eyes were attracted by the strange shadow, an unexpected trouble appeared-
