Chapter Fifty-Six: The Golden Desert
A month later.
The north wind was howling and the weather was very dry and cold.
High in the distance, two rounds of white-gold light hung quietly in the air, faintly exuding heat.
There is not a trace of clouds in the sky, and it is rare for a clean blue sky to be so quiet.
Under the vast canopy of heaven is a sparse and desolate hill.
At this time, on this hill with green grass but sparse vegetation, a large group of black-haired red-eyed rabbits are still gnawing unscrupulously.
"My God, the vegetation we passed through before was badly damaged, and the hills that were about to become deserts couldn't all be gnawed like that by this rabbit!"
Serra looked at the black-haired rabbits that suddenly appeared in front of her, and suddenly exclaimed.
"I'm afraid that's the case, after eating what is over there, you will eat here, and in the winter when food is most scarce, many herbivores have only one thought in their minds, and that is to be able to eat everything they eat until they can't eat it anymore. ”
Looking at the black-haired red-eyed rabbit in front of her, who was only desperately chewing in her mouth, Doreen was also a little surprised, and it was the first time she had seen this kind of scene.
"You know what kind of rabbit this is, Doreen?"
Sierra asked.
"What's it called?"
"Wait, I remember in which book I've seen it, let me think about it!"
Doreen frowned, pondering the information about the bunny in front of her.
"Well, I still can't remember!"
After a while, Doreen only shrugged helplessly at Serra.
"Hargo Black Rabbit!"
"These idiots are called Hago Rabbits!"
Mallory kicked a black-haired red-eyed rabbit out of the way before continuing.
"These stupid bunnies will do anything to fill their bellies, and you see these guys have nothing to fear from us. ”
Mallory walked up to a black-haired red-eyed rabbit again, but the rabbit did not react to Mallory's approach, still devouring the grass in front of him desperately.
This rabbit was first discovered by a wizard apprentice named Hago, and was eventually named after him on a new creature of the wizarding organization behind him: Hago Black Haired Rabbit. ”
Mallory kicked the black-haired rabbit a few meters away as he spoke, only to see the fat black-haired rabbit that had been kicked away turn over, and soon found a grassy grass and gnawed wildly, as if nothing had happened just now.
"This rabbit looks pretty good, but I wonder how it tastes?"
Sierra looked at a fat black-haired rabbit in front of her, and couldn't help but muttered to herself.
Serra has always had a lot of ideas about eating, as can be seen from a series of familiar actions along the way, such as catching ants the size of a thumb and cutting wild snow wolf meat.
"Ugh!"
Hearing Serra's words, Mallory only laughed and shook his head.
"Serra, you can try it, and tell us what it tastes like when you're done. ”
Doreen laughed.
"Well, I think so too!"
Serra nodded, and immediately said she would do it.
However, Serra was not confused, looking at the two front teeth in the mouth of the black-haired rabbit in front of her, which were constantly rising and falling and shining with cold light, she did not doubt the sharpness of those front teeth.
Instead, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and then he took a few steps back, and then he saw a little green light quickly sink into the head of the black-haired rabbit.
The black hair quickly fell, and then turned backwards on all fours and twitched a few times in the sky, and then stopped moving.
At this time, Serra quickly took out a knife and unloaded the two backs of a black-haired rabbit, and then quickly stuffed it into the package with a little processing.
The whole action went smoothly, and after doing this, Serra clapped her hands and quickly followed the others.
When the last black-haired rabbit disappeared in sight, the team walked for half a day over the last hillside of this desolate hill.
A boundless piece of yellow sand suddenly appeared in front of the group.
As far as the eye can see, a slowly undulating golden yellow spreads all the way to the horizon, until it reaches the end of the line of sight, to the intersection of heaven and earth.
"Golden Desert!"
"Once you've crossed this golden desert, the road to the Starlight Coast of Barron will be much easier. ”
Mallory said, looking at the vast desert in the distance.
"Golden Desert?"
Sierra asked.
"Well, the real golden desert, because there is a lot of sand gold in the yellow sand, don't you see the little golden light reflected from the yellow sand from time to time?"
"That's Shakin!"
As they spoke, several people had already set foot on this golden desert.
......
As soon as he stepped into this sea of yellow sand, Gordon found that the air on his face was much drier, and the air was filled with endless earth elements and a small number of other elements.
However, there is a lot of heat stored in this yellow sand, so that no one can feel much cold on it.
In addition to the north wind that swept through this desert, which would set off gusts of yellow sand from time to time and drift into the sky, which would bring some trouble, the speed of the journey of several people in the team was still very fast.
It was slowly getting dark, and the temperature difference between day and night in the Golden Desert dropped rapidly.
At this time, in a desert, the four of them gathered around a fire, eating dry food and drinking water.
"By the way, it seems that since we entered this golden desert, why have we rarely seen anything, is there no living thing in this desert?"
Sierra asked Mallory in a sudden and soft voice.
"Of course not, in the desert in general, there are the most poisonous scorpions and snakes. ”
"And as far as I know, the Golden Desert we are in now is no exception, there are also two kinds of indigenous poisonous creatures, one is the sandstone scorpion, and the other is the spotted blue snake, which is one of the reasons why we don't advance at night!"
Mallory took a bite of the flame in his hand and then patiently introduced it to his sister Serra.
"Serra, you're going to have to visit the Academy's Nature Library more in the future, you know?"
"A lot of these things are introduced in it!"
Mallory suddenly put down the food in his hand, touched his sister Serra's head and said.
"Got it, brother!"
Serra smiled brightly and leaned her head on her brother Mallory's shoulder.
Looking at the smiling Sierra beside her, Mallory couldn't help but feel a hint of warmth.
In fact, few people know that Serra is actually just an abandoned child picked up by Mallory's parents when they were very young, and this is not only unknown to familiar friends, but also to the people around their home neighbors.
Mallory was also first found to be a wizard, when his father took the risk to catch up with Mallory before the carriage to the wizarding academy left.
His father, who came from a poor family, originally wanted to raise Serra to marry Mallory, but he didn't expect Mallory to be tested for wizarding qualifications when Serra was still a child.
So the matter of getting married is not being mentioned.
It's just that I didn't expect that ten years later, my sister Serra, who was brought up by me, was also tested for wizard qualifications.
This made Mallory, who had spent ten years in the wizarding world and had already honed a cold heart, suddenly feel a trace of warmth in the 'Godslin Chamber of Secrets' academy, which was why Mallory took care of him all the way after that.
......
As the night wore on, Serra leaned against Mallory's shoulder and snorted slightly.
Doreen had already closed her eyes, and it was impossible to tell whether she had entered meditation or sleep.
Gordon sat cross-legged by the fire, quietly closing his eyes and recuperating.
I don't know how long later, when another cold wind blew again, Gordon suddenly felt a violent palpitation hit him.
So I suddenly opened my eyes!
