Everyone's expressions didn't change, everyone was used to yesterday's experience, and the only thing they were looking forward to now was whether they could find that oasis before nightfall. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I have to say that they were lucky last night, if they didn't have that oasis, they would have frozen to death or been buried alive in the yellow sand.
"Shopkeeper, are we going to keep going? I don't think there's much hope. Ye Shan said.
"Maybe you're right, this desert has no edges, I wonder if we've been spinning in place for the past two days?"
"Brother, when we are in the mountains, we often encounter ghosts hitting the wall, you say, will there be such a thing as ghosts hitting the wall in the desert? Will we be able to get out after breaking through its tricks?"
Wushuang had thought about it, but none of them had any evidence to say that they must have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and now they didn't even have a shadow of a living thing in the desert, what could it be that covered their eyes?
"Can I say something?" Toya knew she had no status, so she listened silently until no one spoke, and she didn't dare to open her mouth.
"We've been moving, could it be that the sand under our feet is also moving?" The little girl's idea was dreamy, and at first glance it sounded a little incredible, but what else could not happen in this legendary desert of death.
Wushuang suddenly realized something, and quickly jumped off the horse, carefully observing the sand under his feet. The sand is so soft that it spreads out when you step on it.
"Huh......? Wushuang frowned, Toya said that he noticed that they walked in the desert for two days in a row, but no one noticed that the yellow sand under their feet was all moving slowly, or rather, the yellow sand was doing uneven movement, a small pile could move, a large pile could also move, a grain of sand could also move, their activity frequency was extremely unstable and slow, it was difficult to observe with the naked eye, but it didn't matter if a sand moved, if all the sand grains were moving, it would produce a strange force, prompting the nearby sand to keep changing shape like quicksand。
They didn't find out before, because there was a sandstorm yesterday, and no one cared if the yellow sand under their feet was blown away when the wind was strong, but now the sand wind is smaller, and the yellow sand under their feet is still doing irregular movements.
"Toya is right, we're moving, and the desert is moving, so there's not a single point in the desert that's fixed, except for the oasis, where water and vegetation lock up the sand. ”
"That means our chances of finding the sand city again are almost zero, what about last night?" Ma Ya pondered, unable to answer what caused the ruins of the sand city to stand still last night. And Wushuang walked so far, still not disoriented.
"Last night's situation shows that at night, the desert is still, so if we want to find a breakthrough, we can only do it at night!"
"Master, that's easy to do, let's just hold on, anyway, the scenery of this desert is infinitely good, let's just look at the scenery, and then look for Sand City until sunset." Agudammu said.
That's all there is to it for now. Everyone jumped off their horses and rested, but the problem was not so simple. Everyone sat on the ground, and at first they were very close to each other, but as time went on, it didn't take much effort, and one of the brothers who fell asleep was more than two hundred meters away from them. The undercurrent under his feet seemed to be fast, and if it weren't for everyone's vigilance, it would have been dispersed long ago.
"How can the sand move?" Wushuang wondered.
"Theoretically, because of the magnetic field, there is a strong irregular magnetic field under the desert that just affects the fine sand grains, and the sand grains will contain some metal substances, there is a magnetic field, there are metals, of course it will move. Ye Shan explained to him.
"Maybe we can figure out where this strange magnetic field came from, and we can unravel the ancient mystery of why the ancient Rouran people disappeared into the savannah overnight. ”
Today everyone is mentally prepared, they are well prepared, dry food in the desert is not important, the most important thing is water. They still only had a few sheepskin bladders, and before they set out in the morning, they were filled with water without even eating breakfast, so that in the afternoon, the bags had not been opened.
As things stand, it wasn't a problem to drag it out until sunset, but after sunset the temperature plummeted, and they no longer needed water. If the conclusion they had just reached was correct, then even if they couldn't find the ruins of Sand City after sunset, they could go all the way west, directly through the Desert of Death, to the savannah opposite.
Today, the unequaled method is still used, and the arms are tied to each other with the reins of horses, so that they are not afraid of quicksand.
Everyone sat together and waited for the sunset. Minutes and seconds passed, and with a terrible wolf howl in the distance, the sun finally slowly fell to the end of the horizon. Once again, the whole desert was still.
Wushuang carefully looked at the yellow sand under his feet, the sand did not move, and the mysterious underground magnetic field disappeared. They now have two choices, one is to get out of the desert and return to the grassland, and the other is to continue exploring the ruins of Sand City.
"Shopkeeper, we have to go back, according to the footsteps, we can drive five hundred miles in one night, and we will definitely be able to return to Horqin before sunrise. "Ye Shan is very rational.
"If you want to say that you are girls, what are you afraid of with the little master? Seeing that victory is in sight, there must be treasures everywhere under the sand city! Aren't our brothers born and dyed in order to get rich? If you don't take it now, when will you wait?" Agudam, when he saw the opportunity to make a fortune, how could he give up.
Wushuang looked at Ma Ya, he was not easy to decide, according to his own wishes, he would never look back if he didn't see Shacheng. But now it's different, so many people's lives are hanging on their own hands, and if something happens, he's sorry for his brothers. He said that he wanted to bring everyone out of the desert alive.
"What do you think I'm doing? Don't you already have an idea in your heart?" Ma Ya knows Wushuang, and with his personality, he will not give up easily. She couldn't stop it. But Ma Ya didn't make it clear, she knew that his words would change everyone's fate, and she didn't dare to say it easily.
"Toya, what do you say?" Wushuang pulled the little girl over and asked her to sit beside her. Toya didn't expect that Wushuang would trust her at this critical moment, after all, she had just joined this crazy family, and it stands to reason that she didn't have the right to speak.
"Ah, ...... me?" the master asked me?" she wasn't ready, she was just a girl, and she didn't have an opinion. This is a major event that marks everyone's lives, and if it is a vote, then her vote will decide the fate of everyone.
