The night seemed to calm down in an instant, and the shadows of babies flying in the night sky disappeared in an instant, leaving only the empty night, the wasteland, and the four people who were eager to leave the other world of the astrolabe.

General Guo and the Evil Devouring Monarch walked up the slope with round beads, the chaotic scene just now was still in front of them, and at this moment the road became unimpeded, and General Guo couldn't help but sigh: "Things that come and go without a trace." ”

The deepest night has passed, the sky is gradually changing, although the day and night are a blink of an eye, but after the danger has subsided, this sleep still has to be made up, each found a place to sleep, this every night without making a fuss really can not sleep soundly. Xiao Qingqian likes to sleep next to the blind, the blind man has smart ears, and he can hear strange situations in his sleep, and secondly, those silent black shadow ghosts are not afraid of the blind, but the black shadow ghosts are still afraid of him. The blind man doesn't do or say anything, but he has a special charm.

General Guo lay on a boulder, and after a while, the snoring sounded, and the Evil Eater sat on the ground leaning against the boulder, keeping a little distance from Xiao Qingqian, he was a person who was careful to observe the subtleties, and he was always vigilant against the blind, and he didn't have too much to do with General Guo, he seemed to have his own abacus in his heart, and these people could get together and work together, all because of a astrolabe.

The fatigue on the body has not completely faded and the sky is bright again, it is time to get up and prepare to go, day and night alternately, it is the festival of their walking, how much road is still there in front of them, no one has a bottom in their hearts, including Xiao Qingqian, there is no other way but to continue walking, Master Guangchen's apprentice Yin has not yet found any trace of him, I am afraid that he must be found first.

After Xiao Qingqian woke up, she felt an abnormal feeling in her heart, and for some reason, she was sullen and a little suffocating, so far she was not even in vain in the wasteland without food and water, how could she persist for so long, and over time, she didn't even have the desire to eat, and it was no different from the three wild villains around her.

They walked up to the top of the slope again along the gentle slope, looking into the distance, a huge Xuanhuang whirlpool, like the eye of the desert lying on the distant earth, where the sound of flying sand and stones was heard last night, when the wind rose, the yellow sand was like a rolling yellow soup stirring up, when the wind was calm, thousands of vertical and horizontal ravines appeared, and it was a place where it was necessary to go through great hardships in the past, not to say more, they also knew it in their hearts.

Although it doesn't seem to be very dangerous at the moment, it's enough to choke just by looking at it, and if something unusual happens in the middle, you need to do your best to parry. "Don't be stunned, let's go and take a look." General Guo said, anyway, he couldn't hide in the end.

Downhill, the whirlpool in front of the wind and wind again, the wind and sand together, people's eyes can't open, the pace of progress has to slow down, suddenly there is a strange scene in the whirlpool, there seems to be a sand man dancing, feet on the ground, legs swaying rhythmically, waist and arms waving, just like those balloon dummies placed in the door of the store writhing in the air, Xiao Qingqian squinted in the wind and sand and thought he was dazzled, but he didn't expect General Guo and the Evil Devourer to say that they saw the same vision.

"Let's wait until the wind stops." The Evil Eater suggested that the scene ahead was too strange to be dangerous.

There was really no place to hide, and it was not realistic to go back, so they had to move as slowly as they could, waiting for the wind and sand to stop. From the top of the slope and the whirlpool is about two miles away, but the actual walk is more than this far, and the closer to the whirlpool, the bigger the wind and sand, the more the two-meter-high sand people dance wildly, the more they go forward, the more difficult it is to walk, and finally they have to collectively turn their backs and stop walking, but unexpectedly these sand people in the wild dance look soft, but in fact they are like sand thorns in the wind, and they are directly swept into the whirlpool by the sand people if they are not careful.

Xiao Qingqian felt that his ears were full of "buzzing" sounds, his mind was blank, his whole body was controlled by the sandman, there seemed to be magic in the whirlpool, once the person was sucked in, he was thrown wildly as if he had entered the drum machine, and he was rolled around in the sandstorm whirlpool, and half of his self-control was deprived, and a master like a blind man was unavoidable, and Xiao Qingqian had no power to parry.

After the storm stopped, the four people had long been swept to where they went, this Xuanhuang whirlpool was a long yellow sand, the ravines were vertical and horizontal but also very easy to crush, and they would collapse if they stepped on it hard, the first to wake up was the blind man, he did not shout to attract Xiao Qingqian's attention, but groped for what kind of place he was in, he was thrown on the sand wall by the storm, and he stretched out his feet and turned over with the sand and stones rolling down, fortunately, the reaction was fast enough, and he turned to step on the sand and swirl up and stood firmly on the top of a ravine, However, he still couldn't guess what kind of place he was in, and after perceiving his surroundings for a moment, he grabbed a handful of sand and scattered it around, judging the situation around him based on the echoes.

General Guo was thrown to the bottom of a ditch and covered with a thick layer of sandstone, but after the sandstorm stopped for a moment, he struggled to crawl out with the last of his consciousness. The sand under the ravine is smooth and soft, and it is indeed difficult to walk, General Guo is unkempt and half-walking and half-crawling, and the deep and shallow ones are also trying to find traces of a few of them, the ravine where he is is slender and curved, the bottom is narrow and wider the more you go up, he shouted, and the sound could not be heard.

Xiao Qingqian's situation is not much better, she was directly swept away by the dancing sandman, and finally was thrown to the top of a big ditch, after waking up, she was dizzy and didn't know the west and east, and finally figured out her own situation, where she was in a place where the sandstorm swirled and bent, and there were hills and ravines higher than the top of the ditch where she was, and the surface of the sand and gravel stack had traces left by the wind, fortunately, it was strong and not easy to collapse. Xiao Qingqian stood up tremblingly, looked around, and there were arc ravines at the end of his eyes, in such an environment, people were so small that they could lose their direction all of a sudden, and they didn't know what to do next. Xiao Qingqian threw himself on the mud and sand, and shouted into the distance: "Hey! ”

Instantly, there was a sound of "hey" floating around, as if it had spread far away, but all the echoes bounced back to the place where the original sound came from one by one, Xiao Qingqian was almost deafened by one of her own "hey", so frightened that she quickly covered her ears and squatted, but even if her voice was transmitted far away, it could not reach the ravines on both sides.

The echo gradually weakened back and forth, and Xiao Qingqian was at a loss for what to do in the empty surroundings, and in a hurry, she remembered the astrolabe in her pocket, and hurriedly took it out, "Astrolabe, astrolabe, tell me what to do?" However, the astrolabe seemed to be out of order, no matter how Xiao Qingqian prayed, it was unmoved and didn't react at all, "Alas, it's over, don't feed it like this at a critical time, I still expect you to take me out, how can I find the blind man now??? ”

After slowing down, Xiao Qingqian still decided to go down to look for it first, so he climbed down the arc of the ravine, but he didn't expect to slide down without grasping the front roll and rolling back, "Ahem...... I'm damn it......" With an embarrassed look, Xiao Qingqian sat on the ground and gasped, "I'll forget if I fall to death." But after a short rest, she began to walk along the bottom of the ditch, when the astrolabe suddenly reacted again, and the disk instructed her to turn over a ravine on the opposite side.

Xiao Qingqian hesitated, because she really didn't want to climb, but the layers of ravines in this whirlpool were not as regular as a circle, and if she walked along the bottom of the ditch, she might not be able to go around the ravines on the opposite side.

Just as he was about to climb up, a puff of smoke flew in, and Xiao Qingqian recognized that it was the illusion of the Evil Devouring Monarch's spell, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey! Eater of Evil! I'm here! ”

As soon as the words fell, the Evil Devourer Monarch crawled out of the ravine on the opposite side and replied: "Hey! ”

"How are you? What about the two of them? ”

"I'm fine, I found it first, you haven't seen the two of them yet."

Seeing the Evil Devourer staggering down, Xiao Qingqian didn't go up but waited for him to come down in place, "You can find them with this flying smoke, right?" ”

"Yes or no, it depends on how big this whirlpool is." After saying that, the Evil Devouring Monarch blessed the flying smoke again, and determined that the next person to be found was blind, but the direction of the flying smoke was the right side of the ravine, and the astrolabe in Xiao Qingqian's hand still indicated the opposite side of the ravine, which made Xiao Qingqian a little confused all of a sudden, the Flying Smoke of the Evil Devouring Monarch did not miss it, although the astrolabe occasionally failed, but there was no major problem, but now the two parties indicated two different directions, which had to make Xiao Qingqian a little confused.

The Evil Devourer also saw that the astrolabe indicated a different direction, but he said very conclusively that he had just come from that side, and he had not found any trace of the blind man and General Guo, so it would be better to follow the flying smoke that his search for taste was tracking, and there would be no mistake.

Xiao Qingqian thought about it, so he followed the evil devouring monarch together, the ravine was slender and not easy to walk, after the whirlpool turn, it suddenly opened up, the flying smoke flew and flew through three or four turns, Xiao Qingqian and the evil devouring monarch followed, unexpectedly suddenly and General Guo bumped into a square, the flying smoke did not stop but continued to fly forward, and after a corner, he looked up and saw the blind man groping left and right on a hill and ravine, Xiao Qingqian hurriedly shouted to him: "Blind!" We're here. ”

With the instructions of the voice, the blind man didn't have to toss around, he walked down the hills and ravines slowly, but suddenly there was a strong wind, the yellow sand was raging, and those sand people rolled up with the wind, and the sandstorm swirled and flew in the whirlpool, and it happened that at this time, the blind man was instantly submerged in the yellow sand, and General Xiao Qingqian Guo and the Evil Devouring Monarch were also in the whirlpool and were engulfed by the wind.

"Get down! Get down! General Guo said and dragged Xiao Qingqian to a corner to avoid and pressed her to the ground, the sandstorm in this whirlpool was moody, and those sandmen danced wildly, and they would not stop for a while, and the situation of the blind man did not know what to do, if he was swept away by the sandstorm again, it would be troublesome.
