Chapter Ninety-Six: A Near-Death Crisis!
On the first day, the two of them and a monkey went straight in the direction of the rising sun, but after walking for a whole day, they did not find any traces of the business road.
On the second day, Su Mu changed his direction and walked forward with the visual north as the boundary, but unfortunately there was no camel beast to travel, and the speed of the group could be said to be extremely slow.
On the fifth day, there was still wind and sand in my ears, and the undulating sand dunes could not be seen at a glance, and after walking northward for four days, Su Mu still did not find a single figure.
Because of the strong wind and sand blowing in the desert all day long, even the deepest footprints can be covered in less than half a day, so it is very scary to get lost in the desert.
On the seventh day, Sumu found several skeletons in a sand pile, and the dead men were apparently as lost as he was, until they ran out of food and water.
After waiting for half a month, Bai Ye took the lead in having a nervous breakdown, and after walking in one direction for half a month, he still didn't encounter a single figure, and there was only a little bit of water and food stored in the space of Sumu Star Point.
If it was a smooth walk on the trade route, in fact, the two of them should have passed by an oasis a week ago to replenish supplies, but unfortunately, the two of them and a monkey completely deviated from the direction and walked into an unknown unknown desert area.
"Thirsty...... Sumu ...... I want to drink water......" Bai Ye couldn't walk at all, the scorching sun above his head scorched the earth, and the unimaginable high temperature made the two cultivated ancient gods quickly dehydrated, and after half a month of long trekking, the will and physical strength of the two of them had reached the limit.
Su Mu took Bai Ye's hand and climbed to a sand dune and handed her the kettle in his arms.
After seeing Bai Ye's chapped lips pursed a few times, he sat on the top of the sand dune, looking at the boundless yellow sand with a blank face.
"Sumu...... We can't seem to get out......"
"I've heard my mother tell me before...... Once you get lost in the desert...... Unless you get back to your old way in a day...... Otherwise, I won't want to go out for the rest of my life......" Bai Ye's voice was already a little hoarse, which was caused by a long-term lack of water.
"Don't think about it, I feel like we're going to get out. "Su Mu has been through hardships, and his heart is much stronger than that of Bai Yelai, and he still has many promises to fulfill.
"What if...... I said what if...... We're dying of thirst here...... Do you think anyone will find our bones in the future...... Are they going to treat us like two people?" Bai Ye smiled, even in such a dangerous situation, this unruly girl still maintained the last bit of optimism.
"No kidding, you can't walk...... I'll carry you away......"
Su Mu showed a wry smile, carried Bai Ye, who was slumped on the ground, to his back, and then walked forward in the direction he had identified without looking back.
Sun Xiaosheng cleverly lay on Su Mu's shoulder to point out the direction for him, and walked hard for half a month, this wild little monkey was also a little sluggish, sticking out his tongue and pointing ahead with a dull gaze.
On the seventeenth day, the water and food hidden in Su Mu's body were finally exhausted, but the two still did not leave the desert.
As night fell, the starry sky hung high in the sky, and the two monkeys lay motionless in a soft sandy area, three pairs of eyes looking up at the brilliant starry sky, but they did not feel its beauty at all.
Su Mu looked at the starry sky, and had already shouted countless moon worships in his heart, but the sleeping moon worshipping did not respond to him.
The little white monkey had already fainted with thirst, and fell asleep between the two of them.
The descendants of the ancient clan, reverence for nature, worship nature, even if they step into cultivation, they are still full of reverence for this wild land.
Although the cultivator's strength is infinite, he cannot reach the realm of Bigu, unless he cultivates to the sixth star, he can absorb the free energy between heaven and earth to not be afraid of the shortage of food and water.
However, Su Mu and Bai Ye were only three or four ancient gods, and they had not yet reached the Mirror of Bigu, and the depletion of this reserve of food and water was equivalent to completely cutting off the way of life for the two.
"Are you stuck here?"
A burst of unwillingness welled up in his heart, Su Mu clenched Bai Ye's hand, and the desire to survive in his eyes seemed to shoot down the stars in the sky.
Bai Ye turned his head, gently grabbed Su Mu's hand, and said hoarsely, "Actually...... That's it...... Dead together...... It's pretty good......"
This girl with a mysterious origin, since Su Mu rescued her, she has fallen in love with Su Mu, although she maintains a brutal appearance in front of Su Mu on weekdays, but at the end of her life, she let go of the reserve in her heart and began to talk nonsense to tell her true words.
"Don't talk nonsense, we're not going to die here. Su Mu stood up from the ground, and his mind was racing to think of countermeasures, if he didn't do something before the last bit of physical strength was exhausted, he would really die here.
"Nerd...... You're ...... Really...... Don't you like me......" Bai Ye saw that Su Mu had ruined such a wonderful atmosphere under the stars, and his face began to show a trace of displeasure.
Su Mu ignored her, and slammed his raised arms into the sand pit, and a huge force of more than a million catties rippled in this soft sand.
"Boom!"
The sand rushed to the sky shot out from Su Mu's fists in all directions, and a huge hole appeared under Su Mu's feet.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Bai Ye took a few mouthfuls of sand and struggled from the ground, she wanted to see what Su Mu was doing.
"Keep digging down, and you'll definitely get water! Su Mu glanced at Bai Ye, his cold eyes had a hint of demonic energy, and the persistence of survival made Bai Ye stunned.
"I'm here to help you! If you want to die, let's die, let's live together!" Bai Ye bit her chapped lip, as a four-star ancient god, her strength was far superior to Su Mu's several times, and the two ancient gods kept bombarding the deep pit.
The diffuse earthy yellow divine power became more and more intense, and the large crater more than five meters wide gradually sank under the repeated attacks of the two of them.
10 meters ...... 100m ......
The thirsty little white monkey also woke up, and joined the two of them digging a pit with his paws.
"Boom!"
Bursts of explosions came from the pit, and the starry light above them was getting farther and farther away from the two of them.
200 meters...... 300 meters...... Four hundred meters!
When the two of them dug 500 meters, a solid rock completely blocked the way that the two of them dug down.
"No more...... I don't have the strength to ......."
Bai Ye was the first to give up digging after seeing this barricade, and planted himself on the cold rock.
But Su Mu didn't give up, and the raised right fist condensed the last bit of divine power on his body and smashed into the boulder.
"Boom!"
The splattering pieces of rubble bounced into the surrounding sand walls like flying sparks, and a layer of blood mist covered Su Mu's fist.
"I can't die!
The obsession with survival makes Su Mu like a demon, even if his hands are broken and his flesh and blood are blurred, even if the divine power on his body is exhausted, as long as he has his last breath!
"Ancient Demon True Scripture!"
"Demonic qi is scattered for me!"
In Su Mu's right eye, the demon star was powerful, and the black air flow gushed out and lingered on his fingers, which condensed the last bit of available strength in his body, and rubbed heavily on the cold boulder that opened a mouth.
"Bang!"
As Su Mu's finger was inserted, all the demonic energy in that star shot into the core of the boulder along the cracked opening.
The boulder that blocked the two of them from digging down suddenly crawled with cracks and fine lines visible to the naked eye, and black demonic qi diffused from the inside out.
"Boom!"
The boulder shattered, and the two figures, the last of their strength, slammed into a dark underground world.
Fortunately, there was more yellow sand flowing down with the two of them, and they caught the figures of the two below, otherwise the two unlucky ghosts who had no divine power to protect themselves would have fallen to death under the ground.
"Squeak!"
Digging out an underground world, Sun Xiaosheng shouted happily, it crawled out of the sand and looked into the darkness where it couldn't see its fingers, and then quickly ran in the direction of a sound with its ears.
When the clever little monkey returned, it was holding two jugs full of water in its hands, and it excitedly pushed Su Mu and Bai Ye, who had passed out, with an excited face.
"Squeak squeak!"
Su Mu, who had fallen asleep, felt as if he had had had a long dream, and in the dream he had been walking in a desert that had been endlessly draining his last bit of persistence.
When he was about to die, the scorching sky was suddenly covered with a layer of dark clouds, and bean-sized raindrops poured down!
"Water...... Water ......"
A moist feeling came from his mouth, Su Mu subconsciously opened his mouth, and a cold and refreshing feeling instantly poured in from his mouth.
They've found a source of water!――
PS: When this chapter comes out, some people will definitely ask, why don't you take the fruit wine out to drink? Here is the leg hair to explain, that thing is too supplemental! When the state is good, I don't dare to drink more, lest the strength rise too quickly and explode to death, and the dehydrated two are weak, if you drink the hundred ape fruit wine again, then you can take the car to the west. It's like the truth that we can't take too much medicine when we are recovering from a serious illness on weekdays.
