Chapter 306: First Entry into the Gobi
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Tianqi was already standing at the door of the Tianji Tower, and there were Mu Qing'er and Duan Nantian beside him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Sister Qing'er, you should live here these days, this is the place with the highest defense of the station, and there shouldn't be any danger. Tianqi looked at Mu Qing'er beside him and said.
"Hmm. Mu Qing'er nodded, although she only hummed lightly, but the reluctance was overflowing.
Tianqi nodded, and then beckoned Duan Nantian beside him to walk in the direction of the Gobi.
Mu Qing'er looked at the back of Tianqi leaving, her eyes were slightly red, and it wasn't until after Tianqi and the two disappeared into the sand dunes that Mu Qing'er withdrew her gaze, and then her expression gradually became resolute.
"Brother Tianqi, don't worry, I will not be a burden to you. Mu Qing'er said firmly.
The Gobi Desert is vast and misty, undulating continuously, people suddenly seem so small in it, the hot air permeates the body, making people exhale a slight burning sensation, and the wind blows from time to time, bringing up the yellow sand all over the sky, as if there is an invisible raised hand, the sand dunes are constantly changing, there is only one color in this desert is eternal, that is, yellow, yellow that has not changed for thousands of years.
The sand dunes in the Gobi became more undulating, these dunes were like dragons, crisscrossing the next door, and at this time, on the back of the dragon, there were two figures walking with difficulty in the wind and sand, this was Tianqi and Duan Nantian who left the Xuantian station, both of them had a huge cloak on their heads, and their entire faces were tightly covered with a cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes outside.
"Brother Nantian, let's take a rest first. Tianqi stopped his figure and said to Duan Nantian, who was walking in front.
Since stepping into the Gobi Desert, Duan Nantian has deliberately walked in front of Tianqi, not only protecting Tianqi's safety, but also shielding Tianqi from the wind and sand with that huge size, Duan Nantian also stopped when he heard the words, and then turned around, at this time he had a lot more yellow sand than Tianqi.
"Good. Duan Nantian nodded and said.
Then the latter two took a break from this leeward sand dune.
"Brother Nantian, have you been next door?" After sitting down, Tianqi turned his head to look at Duan Nantian on the side and said.
"No, but I heard my father mention it when I was younger. Duan Nantian shook his head and said.
"Your father?" Tianqi was a little puzzled, about Duan Nantian's family, Tianqi never seemed to have heard him mention it.
"Hmm. Duan Nantian nodded and continued: "My father used to be the head of a bounty team, but his bounty team was not the kind of murder and overkill, but specialized in helping people find treasures, and many of my survival skills were learned from him, he once said that the most terrifying thing in this Gobi is not the yellow sand in the sky, nor the powerful magical beasts, but the sand dunes under our feet. ”
"Are these dunes any of the dangers?" Tianqi asked with a wary glance around and a puzzled look.
"These dunes are not dangerous in themselves, but they have a characteristic. ”
"What are the features?" asked Tianqi.
"The best thing about these dunes is that they are not dead, they are alive. Duan Nantian looked at a sand dune not far away and said.
"Alive?!" Tianqi almost jumped up from the ground after hearing this, because he didn't understand that these sand dunes were obviously made of yellow sand, but how did they become alive in the mouth of Duan Nantian.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, that's not what I mean by living. Looking at Tianqi's expression, Duan Nantian smiled slightly, and then explained: " Although these dunes seem to be stationary, but if there is a big storm, they will be blown into the air by the wind, and then when the wind stops, they will fall back to the ground, and then form a new dune, but at this time the location of the sand dunes has changed dramatically, such as the sand dunes under us, after a wind and sand, it is likely to be blown away hundreds of miles away, and it will not be found when the time comes, these dunes are generally used as references, but these references will change at any time, and at that time, the map in your hand will become an ornament, which is for this reason, so that many people are lost in the vast Gobi, until the resources are exhausted, and then they are killed by powerful demonic beasts. ”
"If there is such a thing, isn't it easy for us to get lost in this Gobi?" Tianqi said with some concern.
"It's okay, because you have a map of the desert in your hand. Duan Nantian said with a smile.
"Brother Nantian, didn't you say that the map is useless here?" Tianqi asked.
"It's true that normal maps are useless, but yours is different. ”
"Different, what's different?" Tianqi opened the map he got from Wangshan Village in confusion and looked at it carefully, although there were many circles and dots in the Gobi area on the map, he still didn't see anything special.
"Hehe, this map of the Gobi is not as simple as our usual map, look here. As he spoke, Duan Nantian pointed to a dot on the map, and then said: "The most important thing on the map is these dots, these dots represent some special sand dunes in the Gobi, these dunes are different from the sand dunes under us, because they are not composed of yellow sand, but rocks, and the sand dunes composed of these rocks will not change due to the change of wind and sand, so they have become important reference markers in the desert." Duan Nantian patiently explained.
"But even with these reference markers, with so many dots on the map, how can we tell which is which?" Tianqi once again expressed the doubts in his heart.
"If you look closely, you can see that the dots are divided into solid and hollow, the solid ones represent the rocky dunes, and the hollow ones represent the stars in the sky, so we can easily determine where we are by referring to the position of the stars in the sky. ”
Tianqi was also listening to it at this time, and he didn't know what the difference between the stars in all things was in reality and reality, but Tianqi found an important problem at this time, after he got this map, no one seemed to have mentioned these to him, and they all knew that the purpose of this time was Lancheng located in the Gobi, could it be that Nantian was originally deliberately arranged by them?
"But on this map"
