Chapter 44: The Long Way to Go (6)

Xu Yan and the others entered the desert, and as soon as they walked ten miles, the clear sky became foggy, and the yellow sand was flying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The area of this desert is not too large, with a radius of more than 100 miles, but due to the changeable weather and the extreme wind and sand, the road is difficult and it is easy to get lost, even for experienced travelers It will take three or four days.

In its heartland, the weather is so bad that it is known as the Devil's Crying Sands, and many travelers die in it, so named because of their resentment.

The wind in his ears was whistling, Xu Yan tightened his cloak to wrap his face and neck, and looked into the distance through the gap, he couldn't see anything clearly from fifty meters away, and the sun above his head was obscured by thick sand and dust, and he could only barely see a halo.

"Twenty miles further on, there is the 'Devil's Crying Sand' in the heart of the desert, where the storm is bigger and it is more difficult to walk. ”

Although the wind and sand are large, Xu Yan can accurately calculate the current direction and distinguish the direction in his mind, this is completely the experience accumulated in the Purple Desolate Domain, he has encountered sandstorms before that are even more terrifying than those in front of him.

After entering the desert, Yue'e's brows furrowed more and more, even if she was an Innate Realm martial artist, she didn't have much experience in dealing with the harsh special weather.

The field of vision is compressed to 30 meters, and there are no sign references around, and everywhere you pass is yellow sand, and the wind direction is constantly changing, and you will deviate from the direction of walking before you know it.

Xu Yan secretly laughed in his heart, but did not remind Yue'e that the route he took was deviated, and he wished that he would get lost and trapped in the sandstorm.

The longer the time drags on, the more favorable the situation will be for him, Xu Yan is patiently waiting for the opportunity, only if they are completely trapped, the greater the chance for Xu Yan to escape.

"You go ahead and lead the way, don't be clever!" Yue'e held her forehead with some energy, so she had to let Xu Yan walk in front.

"Here's the opportunity!" Xu Yan was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he even deliberately pretended to be reluctant.

Staying with someone like Yue'e, Xu Yan can't casually reveal his true thoughts, and must wait for the best opportunity to appear.

Along the way, Xu Yan had to endure it, and now the initiative is finally back in his hands. But now we can't rush, we must take it step by step and wait for the foolproof opportunity.

Xu Yan drove the camel under his crotch and walked a few steps quickly, slightly adjusted the direction of progress, and explained: "It is easy to lose a sense of direction when the desert is windy, so I can only give it a try. ”

Yue'e had a cold face and said, "Lead the way honestly, if you dare to take a long detour, you will look good." ”

Although she didn't fully trust Xu Yan, in her eyes, Xu Yan was the prince of the Martial Kingdom after all, and at least at this time, the goal should be the same, that is, to get out of the desert and return to the Martial Kingdom.

In her heart, what she was most worried about now was not Xu Yan and the wind and sand in front of her, but the pursuers who might catch up at any time. Sooner or later, the information from Cangyun Pass would be transmitted back to the capital of Great Xia, and Huang Zu would not give up.

Xu Yan walked at the front of the team, and his mind clearly showed the current position of the two of them, and walked straight towards the ghost crying sand.

"Now I haven't walked deep enough, and when I get to the hardest part of the Devil May Cry Sands, I will pretend to be lost. ”

Xu Yan had a plan in his heart, the sandstorm of Ghost Crying Sand did not disperse all year round, and the visibility was less than ten meters, when he lied that he was lost and lost his direction, and the two were trapped inside.

As long as he was sleepy for a few more days, the dry food and water were exhausted, and when Yue'e was in chaos, Xu Yan found another opportunity to escape.

"When the time comes, I see how you chase me?" Xu Yan was confident, he had his own set of methods to survive in the desert, and even if the resources were exhausted, he would be sure to go out alone.

Half a day later, Xu Yan and the others arrived at the edge of the Devil Crying Sand, the yellow sand turned black, and the wind whined.

"It's the devil crying sand in front, beware of the quicksand trap when you go in. Xu Yan stopped the camel and reminded Yue'e.

Yue'e nodded, the surrounding landforms were very similar to those described in the map, and she was very satisfied that Xu Yan led the way, and said, "I didn't expect you to have this ability, continue to lead the way." When you return to the martial arts, you will inevitably be rewarded. ”

"I know a little bit about it, but the sandstorm of Ghost Crying Sand is too big, and if there is no special person to guide me, I may not be able to figure out the direction. Xu Yan looked cautious, constantly lowering Yue'e's vigilance against herself.

In addition to the violent sand and dust weather, there are also indescribable holes in the ground, and the sand that looks flat will quickly collapse once you walk up.

Xu Yan stared intently at the road, and in the case of extremely low visibility, it was quite a laborious task to find and dodge the quicksand trap.

"There is!" Xu Yan's eyes lit up, more than ten meters in front of him seemed ordinary, and experienced people could only tell the difference if they carefully distinguished, it was a quicksand trap.

Xu Yan drove the camel and walked past the edge of the quicksand trap, looking like nothing was going on, and Yue'e followed him without knowing it, a millimeter away from the trap.

Suddenly, Yue'e's face changed, and the camel she was riding fell rapidly downward, and the surrounding sand collapsed, and the sand flowed to the ground like flowing water.

The four camels accompanying the two were roped together to prevent them from getting separated, and two more camels were pulled into the quicksand by the camels that had fallen at the beginning.

Xu Yan's eyes were quick and he cut the rope on which he sat on the camel, so that he was not swept into it together.

Yue'e jumped into the air, she was not trapped, but the three camels could not be saved, so they could only watch as they fell in, and after a few breaths, they were completely submerged in the sand.

"Damn!" after Yue'e landed, she scolded unwillingly. The three camels were tied to a lot of water and dry food, and it didn't matter if the dry food was eaten or not, but the water was very important. Even for an Innate Realm martial artist, in such a harsh environment, it is dangerous not to replenish water for a long time.

Xu Yan shrugged his shoulders and complained, "Why are you careless? It's okay now, the water is gone, and the camels are gone." Of the four camels, he was left with only one that sat down.

"Shut up!" Yue'e gritted her teeth and whispered, Xu Yan was fine when he walked over just now, and he couldn't blame him if he wanted to.

Seeing that Yue'e had nowhere to vent her fire, Xu Yan snickered in his heart.

"Give me down. Yue'e gave an order, and Xu Yan could only honestly give up the only camel.

After Yue'e sat up, she asked Xu Yan to lead the way on foot.

This time, Yue'e was careful, followed Xu Yan exactly the slightest, and did not fall into the quicksand trap again.

"What's the matter, why haven't you come out of the Ghost Crying Sand?" After a full day, Yue'e finally couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yan pretended to have a bitter face and said, "This wind and sand is too big, and I am also lost." ”

"Find a place to rest first, and wait for the wind and sand to subside before leaving. Yue'e said helplessly, it is not a way to go around like this, it is better to save your strength and wait for the weather to improve a little.

After walking for a while, the two found a cave in the sand dunes, which was small enough to shelter from the wind and sand.

"I'll rest, don't play tricks. Yue'e closed her eyes and breathed her nerves, and asked Xu Yan to stay at the entrance of the cave, calling her if there was any wind and grass.

Glancing at Yue'e, Xu Yan sat at the entrance of the cave and did not act rashly, although she closed her eyes, Xu Yan would definitely be discovered by her if she escaped at this time, Xu Yan didn't believe that she was really completely asleep.

After taking a sip of water, Xu Yan licked his lips and said secretly: "Be patient, you must be patient." Waiting for the best opportunity. ”

The whining wind in his ears has not stopped, the sand and dust cover the sky, and he can't tell whether it is day or night, Xu Yan sat quietly at the entrance of the cave.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a figure shaking in the dust in the distance, and Xu Yan sat up suddenly, unsure whether he was dazzled or if someone was really passing by.
