Volume 1 Chapter 50 The Desert Ants
After another day of recuperation and adjustment in the oasis, Mo De and Mu Qing had to embark on the journey again. Because many desert tribes have gathered outside the oasis, they seem to be ready to come to replenish the water. In order to ensure that the precious oasis of life is not destroyed by the battle, all the races will not quarrel when they are close to the oasis, and will only come to drink in the established order.
Packed his luggage and put it into the Boundary Stone Ring that Mu Qing obtained, and Mo De used the space inside the scabbard to store enough water. But even though the lake has taken a lot of water, the water level of the small lake in the heart of this oasis has not dropped in the slightest. It's just that time is urgent, and Mo De didn't have the heart to study the structure of the lake anymore, so he grabbed the scabbard and followed Mu Qing and left quickly.
Farther away, the Desert Foxes, who had won the battle of order, were led by their leader towards the Oasis. One by one, the desert foxes stepped lightly into the oasis, but carefully avoided each oasis vegetation, and very honestly bowed their heads around the lake to drink. Everyone cherishes the all-you-can-drink that can only be enjoyed every other month.
Pouring water directly into a lake is much more pleasant than taking water from plant tubers or the blood of prey. The leader of the fox clan was sniffing lightly in a clearing by the lake, and a hint of strange color flashed in his russet eyes.
The oasis was soon left far behind, and Mo De and Mu Qing made their way east. The whole body was hidden under the robe to avoid the increasingly hot direct sunlight, so he had to step on the soft yellow sand to open the way in front, and Mu Qing took out a large umbrella from the storage ring and carried it on his shoulder.
The desert is picturesque, and the pedestrians are like ants. Two black dots traveled eastward on the pale yellow scroll, and when you look at it, the end of the field of vision is still the endless yellow sand.
"No, let's wait for those guys to finish drinking water and then sneak back, it's too hot for the hell." Mu Qing, who was holding an umbrella on his shoulder, missed the gloom and coolness in the oasis, but his proposal was vetoed.
"Our traces in the oasis cannot be hidden from those native creatures, and the water source is the supreme sacred place for the creatures of the desert, and outsiders will not be allowed to desecrate it at will. They do not allow any waste of water other than drinking water. "A foot deep and a shallow foot on the soft sand dunes, Mod explained.
"Although that lake is a bit strange, not only does it have a self-cleaning function, but no matter how much clear water is taken, the lake level has never fallen, but in the final analysis, it is the territory guarded by those desert natives, we are just passers-by, and it is not good to have disputes again after we get enough water."
"That's the truth, but the hell it's getting hotter. We didn't feel so hot when we were walking in the desert the day before yesterday. Mu Qing's little face was flushed by the high temperature, and he complained. It's not that she can't withstand such heat, but it's not the same thing as liking it.
"It may have something to do with the newly formed 'alien moon' above the head, and once that thing is born, no one knows what kind of impact it will have on the surrounding environment." Mo had to put up a shade and look up at the full moon hanging in the sky.
It is a moon phase tide at the level of a full moon, and the quantity and quality of the "moon projection" are very different from usual. In broad daylight, a few different moons hung high in the sky seemed to boost the power of the sun, and the blazing light continued to blast into the barren desert, raising the temperature of the entire sea of sand. As soon as the sweat seeped into the skin, the heat evaporated instantly, and the two of them needed to constantly replenish water as they went.
Originally, Mu Qing also carried a wooden tray with him, ready to be used as a fan to fan the wind and relieve the heat, but he had to put it away after shaking it twice. In the air approaching 50 degrees, no matter how diligent the fan is, it is still a hot wind.
The surface temperature is even more exaggerated, and every time Mu Qing steps on it, he can feel the scorching heat spreading through the soles of his feet. Even though she had tasted the taste of hell brought by the black fire backlash many times, she still didn't like the hot environment.
Morde, who walked ahead, was much calmer. Since he was a child, Li Changsheng has taken Mo De around, and the mission locations are all over Tiannan, Haibei, and even not limited to the territory of the Huaxia Domain. On the mission to Africa, the "land of exploration", Li Changsheng took the young Mo De across the "sea of death" - the Sahara Desert. Although the rich experience of "traveling" has caused Morder's cultural studies to be one step behind, the experience of traveling has made him accustomed to many difficult environments.
"The most important thing now is to determine where exactly we are teleported, and it is never a long-term solution to determine a direction like this." Mo had to interrupt Mu Qing's whispering behind him. He didn't know how far he had to go to get out of the sea of sand as he headed east, but luckily there was plenty of water and food.
There is no need to worry about the source of water, even if the cans with unique flavors are depleted, they can still hunt for food. At night, all kinds of small animals lurking under the sand dunes in the desert will also burrow out of the ground to breathe.
"You think we can't be teleported to a region outside the Huaxia Domain, right?" Mu Qing hung his head and followed behind Mo De.
"It shouldn't be sent directly out of the realm, if we are really teleported to other parts of the Middle Continent, or even other continents, it will be troublesome." Mord scratched his head and said.
It is not easy to travel long distances in normal times, and there are only a few guys who can run around the world the size of Mode, and many more people will never even choose to leave their own security in their lives. It is precisely because more and more people choose to live in the Anjie that the inter-school alliance in the Huaxia region will organize high school students to carry out the "autumn hunting" activity to leave the Anjie, so as to slowly stimulate the children's interest in the unknown world outside the Anjie.
If the two of them were really teleported out of the Huaxia Domain, it would be a big trouble. The changes in heaven and earth brought about by the moon phases and tides will make it impossible for both of them to communicate with the outside world, and they don't know how long they will have to travel before they return home. Looking up at the alien moon in the sky again, Mo De suddenly wished that this moon phase tide would end soon, although he also knew that it was impossible.
"Mo De, you said that I went up and smashed the two different moons, will the weather be cooler?" Mu Qing's sudden speech interrupted Mo De's thoughts. Through the sunglasses, you could feel Mu Qing's serious gaze, and she had to stop this girl with a clear brain circuit from rolling up her arms and sleeves.
It was said that it stopped Mu Qing's cooling plan to climb to the sky and shatter the moon, and Mo De also understood that the continuous high temperature in the desert did make Mu Qing a little uncomfortable, so he comforted her and said: "It will be much cooler until the night." By the time we walk through this quicksand area, we can rest during the day and travel at night. "There is no way to put tents or build improvised camps on the gently flowing sand dunes, otherwise you won't know where you have been swept away by the quicksand when you wake up.
took out the kettle and poured two mouthfuls of cold lake water to cool off, Mu Qing finally gave up his grand plan. After all, she didn't know what kind of reaction she would have after smashing those rounds of different moons. Moreover, the position of those rounds of the moon is indeed too high, and it is quite difficult for her to go to heaven with all the strength of her physical body at this moment. "How far is it to get out of this quicksand area......"
The big day bakes, and the different moon cheers. The desert heat and the soft quicksand on the soles of your feet make the journey difficult. When the sand under his feet no longer dragged his shoes down like that, in Mu Qing's expectant gaze, Mo De finally announced that the two of them had walked out of the quicksand area and could set up a camp to rest and escape the heat.
Mo had to quickly dig a big pit on the relatively hard sand, and then leaned the mat that Mu Qing took out on the shady position in the pit. Mu Qing put the umbrella on his shoulder to the side, and the whole person lay on his back in the shadow cast by the big umbrella. The temperature in the bunker was noticeably cooler than the surface, and the two of them planned to rest here before the sun went down and wait until the evening to continue their journey.
One person has a special can, and the heat is completed after exposing the head to the sand pit for a while. In such a hot weather, Mu Qing didn't have the heart to boil water to make tea, and at this moment she couldn't wait to soak her whole body in the cold water. The long period of heat made her a little drowsy, and her eyelids were even more sleepy after stuffing this meal.
"Let's sleep for a while." Seeing that Mu Qing was sleepy, Mo De whispered to her.
"Then I'll squint for a while, and I'll be called up and changed the guard later." As soon as Mu Qing's words fell, he fell into a deep sleep, holding a cold water bag full of lake water to dissipate the heat.
Mo De took out the Boundary Void Stone scabbard and pondered it. Yesterday in the oasis he had roughly studied the scabbard and had obtained an important method from it.
The Boundary Stone scabbard itself has a storage function, and the reserve water source that the two of them need for this trip is the space in the scabbard. However, the space to store the water is only a small part of the space in the scabbard. Stimulated by the black flames, the camouflage on top of the scabbard seemed to be torn apart, revealing many wonders that had not been discovered before.
This Void Stone scabbard had obviously been modified, and it contained far more space than a Void Stone of the same volume. And this storage space is just one of the features that come with the scabbard. The person who started the transformation seemed to have interwoven countless layers of enchantment with the power of the vast void as the foundation, and this construction technique was very familiar to Mo De.
That's right, on the giant boundary stone in the base of his own "tide" organization, there are also various enchantments that have also been arranged with many bells and whistles.
Mo De was basically certain that this scabbard was from Li Changsheng's hand. And he didn't just create this scabbard, but also put a black flame and that inexplicable film in it, and sealed it with layers of boundary-space enchantments to preserve it.
