Chapter 3 All the way north
It is no longer known when the Mowusu Desert was formed, as it was a sea of sand long before the formation of the Star Dynasty. The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth and the War of the Gods, countless prosperity withered, but this desolate and distant desert was fortunate to survive. The desert covers the entire continent, and when you stand on the north platform of the town and look north, the boundless desert makes people's eyes full of dark red, and finally connects with the sky in the place where your eyes are exhausted.
It is said that there is no orc tribe in the desert, and all the surviving orcs in this desert are divided into two parts, one part slowly merges with the Fengshen tribe and gathers near the north platform of the town to live, while the other part migrates to live near Xiangming Ferry, and is engaged in ferry business all year round.
On the towering tower of the north platform of the town in the night, Kuimu and Yinhua looked at the desert in the distance and discussed things in a whisper.
According to the old wolf, the Divine Ape Department and the Spirit Ape Department did not stop at Zhenbeitai at all, but took the latest map and some supplies and hurried to the depths of the desert. It seems like a rush to find something. The soft-armored silver flower whispered
Kuimu didn't feel surprised at all when he heard the news, because for many years, he and the missing Seck were in charge of investigating the opening time of the enchantment, and all kinds of indications indicated that the last time they entered this kingdom of gods, the ape department and the spirit ape department should have reached some kind of consensus, and there was a certain creation hidden here, so they hurried to that place after entering the kingdom of gods.
"Maybe the two of them have other secrets, after all, this time the barrier suddenly loosened in advance, it is definitely not a normal thing," Yinhua continued as she stood on the north platform of the town and continued to Kuimu beside her
"It should be in collusion with some force inside, and the formation of the loose enchantment has been stimulated inside, after all, this kingdom of gods is not only accessible to our Fengshen Department, but all races have their own passages. However, if you want to meet at the earliest, you will only meet on the first island. I just don't know what kind of crisis I'll encounter. Kuimu took a sip of wine and muttered to himself
"It's all speculation at the moment, and we're just going to be careful. You really won't go with me to the Wind Volcano after you get to the first island?" asked Yinhua seriously
"No, you know I came in to find Tengger. Kuimu looked into the distance with bitter eyes
"Maybe the patriarch hasn't been here at all, it's too dangerous for you to just rely on your own intuition to search for people all over the world!" Yinhua tried to dissuade
"Danger, when have we ever been afraid of danger, we are much luckier than those brothers and sisters of the dead Wind Spirit Guard, at least we still have a drink to drink. I remember old Miller smiling in my arms when he was dying, saying that he gave me his daughter and drank it in exchange for a sip ......of wine," Kuimu said, and tears flowed down his eyes
"So you're going to marry that girl," Yinhua said with a gloomy expression
"Yes, he drank my wine, and I slept with his daughter for the rest of my life," Kuimu smiled bitterly
"You're a pair of bastards, phew" Yinhua took a sip and turned away viciously
"Don't tell those children that you are going to leave alone, although some of the children have been sent away, and I can barely take care of these remaining children, but if everyone knows that you are going to leave alone, they will definitely panic in their hearts. Yinhua walked a few steps and stopped and said
"This is not a comfortable place, and everyone who comes here should be prepared to die at any time. There is no shame in dying, but it is shameful to scare yourself to death. Just protect the saint and leave the others alone. Kuimu smiled wryly
"You......" Yinhua stomped her foot angrily
"Look at what makes you angry, I'm laughing. Don't worry, I will take Moldo to go first, saying that I am going to arrange in advance, and everyone will think that I am going to go to the wind volcano to find the creation in advance for my apprentice, and I will be scolded in my heart, and I will not think that I am really leaving. On the contrary, they will travel faster, and you may be in the wind volcano in a few days. Kuimu said disappreciatively
"Let me say what is good about you, such a big person is like a child, I don't know how your wife cares about you" Yinhua said with a sigh
"How can any wife be willing to take care of me, I haven't married the old Miller's daughter yet, and if I want to get married, I have to go back alive this time," Kuimu laughed
"You ......" Yinhua didn't know what to say for a moment, and turned to leave
"Yinhua, if you go back alive this time, find someone to marry" Kuimu scratched his head and shouted at Yinhua, who had already walked away
"I want you to take care of ......," Yinhua scolded, and left the castle after a while, but no one saw her leave with tears in her eyes.
Listening to the snoring of Mordo in the distance, Akasu stayed awake all night, but through meditation, he found that although he had not rested all night, his energy was unusually strong. Although the heaven and earth energy here is scattered, it is a little purer than in the Vientiane Realm. In addition to the abundance of the sea of knowledge overnight, the dantian qi sea also precipitated a lot of the energy of this world.
After saying goodbye to the old wolf, they slowly stepped into the Mowusu Desert with the newly replenished provisions. The old wolf stood on the high place of the north platform of the town and watched everyone leave, and then turned his head to look at the tribesmen in the inner city, his eyes were full of unbearable and struggle, and after a while, he took out his cigarette pouch and took a few puffs fiercely, spat on the ground, and muttered words that only he understood.
The dark red sand was very soft, and everyone walked slowly one foot deep and one foot shallow. This time, the children of the Wind Spirit Department left Zhenbeitai and went all the way north, and they did not choose to travel by salamanders, but still walked forward. According to Kuimu, the only role of the Mowusu Desert is to temper, temper people's hearts, temper people's endurance, and temper everyone's ability to cooperate as a team. However, because they have to cross this dangerous desert, the basic supplies and equipment of each child are still fully prepared.
Each person has a lizard bottle, made of salamander saliva water. Because salamanders feed on fire ants endemic to this desert in the desert, the fire ants are very sensitive to the smell of saliva and usually avoid salamanders from a distance, so that the fire ants, known as the number one killer of this desert, will not cause harm to everyone. Vipers and scorpions, which are known as the 'three pests' along with fire ants, will not pose much of a threat as long as they are careful. As for the black storm that kills people without blinking an eye in the desert, Kuimu and the others also have a response. When entering the desert, each child has an extra transparent cover on their heads, and the name of this cover is called the air bag, but it is a necessary equipment to pass through this desert. Because the desert may come at any time with a black sandstorm, this cover can protect everyone, even if it is buried by the sandstorm, it can still use mana input to support the shield for three hours of breathing. With a three-hour buffer period, whether it is using mana to rush out of the submerged ground or being injured and waiting for rescue, there is a lot more life.
All the way north, everyone relied on the north pointing instrument in their hands to discern the direction in the desert. Although it was daytime, because of the anomaly of this sky, the sun always exuded a dim red, like a heavy sunset, and like a strange color that had not been wiped off by residual blood. The dark red sky, the dark red earth, between the sky and the earth, it seemed that only these dozen people existed, empty and lonely. Starting from early in the morning and continuing into the evening, Kuimu only gave the team two short breaks to replenish water and food. According to past experience, it will take at least three days to reach Xiangming Ferry at this speed.
