Chapter 399: The Infinite Road of the Heavens
The camel king's speed increased markedly, and he trudged through the sand like a horse of a thousand miles.
The desert was barren and there was nothing, and there was not a single green field within a radius of several miles.
In this way, the camel king galloped deep in the desert and traveled for more than half an hour.
Chongning looked at the desert in front of him, and his face was not very good-looking.
Because the further in, the more barren it becomes.
Originally, there were some sand grasses, cacti, or sand grass.
Now in the desert, there is nothing, nothing but the spreading yellow sand.
Duan Jingzhi also felt that something was not right, and said, "Brother Ning, is this route wrong?" How can you go further and further apathy? ”
Chongning smiled bitterly and said: "We can't tell the direction, what else can we do, we can only trust the camel king." ”
The camel king didn't pay any attention to what they were saying, just ran in one direction, running quickly.
One hour, two hours, three hours, and when evening approached, it was still a barren land in front of their eyes.
Chongning was a little speechless and said, "Stop for a while and rest." ”
At the moment, it's almost night. It's not safe to go forward at night.
The two of them found a small sand dune that they used as a temporary base to stay.
Nothing was said all night.
The consumption of food and water is visibly reduced.
The next day's trip to the desert was still boring.
They marched aimlessly through the desert for two days, without seeing a single leaf, half-puddle pool.
Duan Jingzhi was about to collapse, and her dry lips were all white.
"Brother Ning, are we going to die?"
Chongning's heart was also under a lot of pressure, but he didn't show it, smiled, and said, "With the camel king, we can't die." ”
The camel king's demeanor was not tired, and he looked into the distance expressionlessly.
Duan Jingzhi answered, lay on the camel king, and stopped talking.
Chongning gently patted the camel king's neck and said, "Brother, it's all up to you." ”
At this time, they had little food left, and there was not much water left.
If they don't find a water source today, they will really be without water and food.
The camel king seemed to have spirituality, nodded his head, and continued to run forward, running quickly.
It was another sleepless night.
Chongning leaned on the camel king, his eyes blank.
After a day of searching, no water source was found.
However, their tanks are empty.
Deserts are extremely hot, dry and hot, and prone to water shortages.
It had only been two or three hours since the water had been cut off, and Duan Jingzhi's mouth had cracked a small opening.
Chongning handed over the water bag and said, "This is the last sip, you can drink it." ”
Duan Jingzhi was weak, shook her head, and said, "You drink." ”
The food on the camel king's body has also been consumed, and the last beef jerky was eaten by Duan Jingzhi an hour ago.
Both of them were so weak that they didn't even bother to speak.
Another night passed, near the wee hours of the morning.
Chongning kept vigil and didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that he would never be able to open them once he closed them.
He slept only two or three hours all night, and the complexion on his face was extremely bad.
In just two or three days, Chongning's cheeks had become too thin, and a pair of deep eye sockets were sunken in, which was extremely terrifying.
Duan Jingzhi's face was even more ugly, her round cheeks could be seen with her cheekbones, and her fair complexion had become dry and rough, like an old woman who had been weathered in the desert for a long time.
If the two of them continue, they may soon become desert corpses.
The situation is grim, and life and death hang by a thread.
Just when Chongning was in a daze, the camel king's body began to shake, as if he had found something, and walked forward.
Chongning was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "King Camel, why are you going!" ”
At this time, if the camel king leaves, then they will die!
Duan Jingzhi was also awakened, and said worriedly: "This camel king, did you deliberately trick us and want to consume us to death, and then it will be free." ”
The camel king himself is a wild camel, and when his owner dies, he can regain his freedom.
Duan Jingzhi's words are not unreasonable.
Chongning's expression changed, "No." ”
If that's the case, it's really the end of the calf.
Chongning and the two of them were physically exhausted, and they couldn't control the camel king at all.
It's leaving, and no one can stop it!
The already critical situation is even worse.
The camel kingdom was over there, and galloped quickly.
Chongning shouted loudly from behind, "King Camel, you're back!" ”
The camel king didn't listen at all, and his huge body ran wildly.
Chongning's legs were the same as lead, and it was difficult to lift his legs, and he was out of breath after running a few steps, and he couldn't catch up.
Duan Jingzhi followed behind, her physical strength was even worse, and she was extremely anxious, "Brother Ning, what can I do about this?" ”
Chongning sighed lowly, "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let it go." ”
The physical strength of the two of them has reached the upper limit, and they can't catch up with the camel king at all.
Chongning squatted under the sand dunes, his face tired, and sat down weakly.
Duan Jingzhi sat directly on the ground, her whole body weak, almost desperate.
"Brother Ning, are we really going to die!"
Chongning barely squeezed out a smile and said, "With me, I can't die." Look at the sky, it's going to rain tonight. ”
"It's raining?" Duan Jingzhi was extremely surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”
Chongning said: "Yes, I see that there are yellow clouds in the sky, according to what Lao Liu Tou said before, the probability of rain is extremely high. ”
"That's great!" Duan Jingzhi's desperate eyes once again radiated light.
Actually, whether there is rain tonight, the devil knows, this is just Chongning Hu made up.
Wangmei quenches her thirst, and that's the only way to do it.
If there is no hope, Duan Jingzhi may not be able to hold on for long and will die.
Chongning said that there was rain tonight, just to give her a reason to persevere.
In fact, he doesn't look at the sky at all.
The two of them snuggled under the sand dunes, looking at the endless desert and the empty sky.
There are no stars in the sky, as if endless whirlpools and black holes have swallowed up all the stars.
Time passed little by little, and the breath of the two of them was gradually disappearing.
Chongning was dazed, his consciousness began to be confused, and his eyes were white.
He seemed to see a white light and a familiar figure.
Is that yourself?
Chongning seemed to see himself, as if he was looking in the mirror.
However, there are some places between that figure and him, which are still different.
Ning Shizi?
Chongning was stunned, this figure was the appearance of Ning Shizi in the submarine tomb.
To be exact, that's what my father Chongweiyang looks like!
"Father."
Chongning was confused, his expression was confused, and his eyes were blurred.
I saw that Chongweiyang's figure was getting closer and closer.
In his hand, he also held a square object.
Chongning looked carefully, and that thing turned out to be the lost Xixia jade seal!
"What does that mean?"
Chongning looked at the strange scene and was very puzzled.
I saw that Chongweiyang was holding the Xixia jade seal and covering it towards Chongning's chest.
Chongning looked down and was shocked.
I saw that the jade seal, on his chest, was covered with a crimson seal!
The crimson inscription is the Tangut script.
At this moment, Chongning actually understood the content of the inscription, the crown prince's treasure!
This, is this the prince's treasure?
According to the regulations of the royal seal in the Tang and Song dynasties, this jade seal is most likely the prince's seal and the prince's treasure.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the seal of Western Xia is the treasure of the prince.
Chongning looked at his chest in astonishment, the bright and dazzling vermilion inscription was extremely conspicuous.
The vermilion seal shines brightly.
Chongning's body was stunned, and he suddenly came to his senses, opened his eyes, and looked around.
He hurriedly looked at his chest, which was empty and blank, without any inscription at all.
"It turned out to be a dream."
Chongning muttered, looking around.
Duan Jingzhi lowered her head, and her breath seemed to be nothing.
Chongning was about to call her, but he glanced at it, and his face was full of shock!
I saw that not far ahead, there was a figure, getting closer and closer!
The huge body, nothing else, turned out to be the camel king!
The Camel King is back!
It's really the king of camels!
Chongning was shocked, and with the last bit of strength, he barely stood up.
The camel king came over and pressed his face against him.
Chongning was surprised to find that the camel king's body was wet, and he was immediately ecstatic. "You, you've found a source of water!"
"Water source." Duan Jingzhi was in a daze, as if in a dream.
The head of the camel king, shaking around in one direction, neighed in a low voice.
Chongning said: "Are you saying that the water source is nearby? ”
The camel king nodded, his huge head, pointing in that direction.
Chongning supported Duan Jingzhi and reluctantly put it on the camel king's back, and then, he climbed up with great difficulty.
After the camel king waited for the two of them to take their positions, he began to gallop towards the distance.
Chongning was confused, he couldn't remember the route at all, and the consciousness of the whole person began to diverge.
After waiting for a while, I don't know how long it took.
A burst of coolness permeated the whole body.
Chongning only felt a burst of comfort, as if eating a piece of chilled watermelon in the summer heat.
Every pore of the body is extremely comfortable. Delicate water molecules penetrate the whole body, moisturizing the body.
Chongning is like a dry sponge, which swells in an instant when exposed to water.
Duan Jingzhi's body was also soaked in water.
The originally weak body gradually recovered.
Water is the source of life.
With abundant water sources, Chongning and the two are alive again.
Duan Jingzhi opened her eyes, was pleasantly surprised, and said, "Brother Ning, we have found a water source." ”
Chongning drank a few sips of water, and his originally tired body recovered a lot.
The golden hand, which was dim before, has gradually come to life.
Chongning's eyes were shining, and he lay down in the water and drank a few more sips.
Duan Jingzhi didn't care about the image of a lady, her head got into the water, and she kept drinking water.
The two of them drank happily for a while, and their whole bodies returned to normal.
Only then did Chongning look around his surroundings, which was a small oasis with verdant foliage and a pool of clean water.
On the shore of the lake, there are several strange stone piles.
It was built with some stones. The overall shape is very rough and extremely weird.
Before Chongning could think about it, there was a low roar not far away!
Immediately after, several black shadows rushed towards him.
At the same time, arrows shot at each other!
Chongning was shocked, pressed Duan Jingzhi's head, dodged down, and shouted loudly: "Be careful, danger!" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
