Sand, endless sand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info they are always climbing up, trying to devour everything. From the gaps in the clothes, from the openings of the boots, from the mouth, from the nose, from the ears. Before Zhao Mai and his party could climb the sand dunes, they smelled of sand all over their bodies.

Reserve grain is basically impossible to walk in this environment, and its feet are unprotected on the sand, and sooner or later it will emit the smell of barbecue. Zhao Mai stuffed it into his backpack and stayed with the flower pot. The scorching heat here was too harsh for the two little creatures.

This will increase the load, but Zhao Mai has decided to live and die with everyone. His only plan now was to find a shelter and hold out for three months while he found a way to dig out the car. The environment here was neither suitable for survival nor cultivation, and he didn't want to stay.

Climbing the dunes is a very difficult task. The soft sand always took Zhao Mai on the slide, constantly trying to wrap his legs around and flow downward. He stepped down heavily, spending most of his strength on making bunkers, and the distance he ascended was short, sometimes even further, but two steps back. Obviously, there was only a vertical height of more than forty meters, and it took him more than half an hour to go up.

It's hard not to have thoughts of despair. Endless yellow sand, cascading black shades, and countless sand dunes are everything on the ground. The huge sun in the pale sky emitted a never-ending red flame, and the air ignited, expanding and making strange sounds, as if it kept repeating the word "death, death, death". There were no trees, no grass, nothing to move except sand and wind. The natural force here is simply oxygen in a vacuum, water droplets in the flames, and Zhao Mai can't release a single spell.

Their only hope is a mountain range in the distance, maybe it will be harsher there, no one can be sure, but there will definitely be something different there, and change means life. Since there is no reference, the distance is difficult to estimate, the only thing that is certain is that it is absolutely impossible to reach today. Zhao Mai held his knees with his hands and gasped hard with his mouth closed. He not only wanted to regain his strength, but also took this opportunity to cheer himself up. "To give up is to die. "He's well aware of that.

Based on the height and direction of the sun, it is assumed that the mountains are a little more northerly in the west. In a strange world, the direction, time, and seasons are all uncertain, and it is not possible to cope with this world with the experience of other worlds. But if he can communicate with the natural force, then Zhao Mai will have a way to figure out most of the situation, which is also the purpose of his trip to the mountains to have a look.

"Over there, let's go. Zhao Mai stretched out his finger and pointed, and Bucher nodded, not saying a word. Both men covered their mouths and noses with strips of cloth and shaded their eyes with bandanas. If possible, they use only one eye at a time, open and close them and take turns resting, looking for ways to reduce the evaporation of water.

The sand dunes that they climbed up in an hour only took ten seconds to rush down, which was their rare and only happiness. After that, shake the sand hanging on your body, the road is still far away, and you need to walk slowly.

Zhao Mai looked at his phone as he walked. The mobile phone has a function to open the map, and the map of the places I have been to is bright, the ones I have seen but have not been to are gray, and the ones I don't know at all are black. Relying on the shiny walking trajectory, Zhao Mai was able to determine his relative position to the starting point, correct the direction of progress, and avoid deviating too much when walking around the dunes. They can't keep climbing over the dunes, which would take too much stamina. The best thing to do is to follow the top of the dune and avoid moving up and down as much as possible.

A spider the size of a fingernail burrowed out of the sand and desperately chased after Zhao Mai, trying to hide in his shadow. It seems that even the local creatures can't stand the scorching heat and the relentless rays of daylight. This is the first creature that Zhao Mai has encountered, and naturally he will not let it go. He asked for two crossbow arrows from Butcher to use as chopsticks, and picked up the little reptile from the ground.

It has the eight legs of a spider, a bulging belly, and a pair of teeth with frightening proportions. This little thing was very aggressive, constantly trying to bite the dagger that Zhao Mai stretched out.

"Its bite is poisonous, do you see the droplets on the dagger, it is oozing from its mouth. Zhao Mai flipped the little thing back and forth, and looked at it carefully. Although the spider was fierce to him, Zhao Mai was still quite happy. At least he saw the creatures, which meant that this was not a barren dead place.

You can feel the unique force of nature from the little things, and if you taste it, there is a very primitive, more elemental feeling, which is completely different from Gralion. There are many natural creatures in Gralion, so the natural force is more of a cycle, a system. This spider is accustomed to living in isolation, and the natural force is extremely conservative, but it has a faint aura of water elemental on it.

At this moment, a larger aura of the same kind quickly approached, and Butcher also raised an alarm, telling Zhao Mai to be careful. The dunes seemed to come to life suddenly, the yellow sand bulging up and down the steep slope, and in the space below, a larger spider was sneaking over.

Maybe this kind of raid works for other creatures, but it doesn't make sense for Zhao Mai and Butcher. Reserve food also screamed, and sprang out of his backpack, ready to fight.

The sand suddenly stopped shaking, and then exploded violently. The crocodile-sized spider opened its mouth, a pair of scimitar-shaped teeth cut horizontally. Zhao Mai stabbed downward with the blade of the megalodon, piercing the monster's mouth and slamming it to the ground. Butcher rushed up and was about to cut off its head.

"Wait a minute, I have an idea, don't kill it yet!" Zhao Mai shouted, "I sensed the Force of Nature!"

The Force of Nature is present in all living things, and this spider is no exception. Unlike Gralion, the creatures here have more of the Force preserved in their bodies, seemingly in response to the extreme natural environment here. Only when they are rich will there be more exchange, and those who are poor in the Force will naturally continue to collect, store and reduce consumption.

Zhao Mai first tried to communicate with the giant spider in the wild, hoping to domesticate it. It is obviously more adapted to the desert environment than its own people, and if it can be used as a mount, it will definitely save a lot of energy. Even if it can't be domesticated, it will be a lifesaver to be able to communicate and lead everyone to find water and oases in the desert.

The spider struggled, and Zhao Mai kept reassuring him, but with little effect. No matter how Zhao Mai explains, there is only one instinct in the spider's brain, and that is predation. It struggled harder and harder, and Butcher was about to lose his control. "Whatever you're going to do, hurry up!"

There is no choice but to kill it. Butcher swung his sword and slashed off the spider's head, the rest of it shaking to itself. Zhao Mai put his hand on the spider, and then used the method taught by Wadsworth to start mobilizing the natural force and performing the water creation technique. The spider kept trembling, its body quickly deflated, and its water was pumped out by Zhao Mai.
