Chapter 54: The Horror of the Sand Sea

Wait until the sun has shifted a bit, then set the direction and walk along the east.

But the vast desert seemed to be endless, full of yellow sand, and the scorching sun was baking overhead, and it was more optimistic that they would not die of thirst here.

But the feeling of thirst was real, Li Xiang felt that his throat was dry, and there was only a small amount of water in the kettle they were carrying, which could only moisten his throat, and he didn't dare to take a big bite of it.

"How long are we going to go?" Li Xiang stopped the blood fox leading the way in front, but he didn't expect the other party to be embarrassed.

"I don't know, our only clue is this note."

The blood fox handed the note to Li Xiang, and Li Xiang felt a headache when he saw that there was only such a sentence on it.

Are they going to keep going east? Although this game doesn't kill people, it's also an ordeal.

"I think we should find water as soon as possible, and this feeling of thirst is just too uncomfortable." Yukizakura opened her mouth to offer an idea.

Anyway, the NPC of the game will not die, so instead of finding someone who has no goal, it is better to find a water source first.

"Xue Ying is right, let's find a water source first." The blood wolf also couldn't stand it anymore, and seeing that the other three were all saying this, the blood fox also nodded.

Just as they were about to make a move, a strange roar came from a distance.

"What sound?" Li Xiang hurriedly pulled out the scalpel and guarded carefully, blood wolves, they would not necessarily protect themselves from Meng Lang.

Now Li Xiang is glad that he didn't bring Xiaoxue, otherwise Xiaoxue is really prone to accidents in this cruel environment.

"It's like a sandstorm!" The Blood Fox saw a yellow line rise from the horizon in the distance, and his face suddenly changed.

Sandstorm is a climatic phenomenon, also known as sandstorm, which has a great impact on the environment, if people are in a sandstorm, they are likely to be blown up, or they may get lost in the yellow sand, and then be buried by the yellow sand.

"Quick, dig a bunker somewhere to the lee!"

The Blood Fox immediately led them to the bottom of a leeward sand dune and began to quickly dig a sand pit on the ground using tools as a means of avoiding the sandstorm.

Li thought that they had also begun to dig, and by the time they were about to finish digging, a sandstorm had already descended on their heads.

Li Xiang didn't expect the sandstorm that was far away in the sky to move so fast before.

"Close your eyes, remember to cover your mouth and nose with a cloth, and be careful not to be buried in the sand." After the blood fox finished speaking, he took out a towel from his backpack and wrapped his head.

Li Xiang did the same, although his breathing was a little unsmooth, but it was better than blocking his mouth and nose with sand.

The four of them were lying in the bunker waiting for the sandstorm to end.

Move your body from time to time to keep the sand underneath your body.

It wasn't until late in the evening that the sandstorm finally ended, and they were relieved to crawl out of the bunker and shake off the sand from their bodies.

The desert at night is beautiful, with stars in the night sky, and there is no scorching heat during the day, but if it weren't for this desolate environment, this place would still be beautiful.

"Come on!" After the sandstorm, the blood fox saw that there seemed to be something on the ground, so he immediately squatted on the ground to observe.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiang saw the blood fox squatting in front of a weed, and the blood fox's face showed an excited look.

"The growing plant here means that there should be water nearby, let's quickly find out if there is any."

The blood fox has a lot of knowledge, and he is also very smart, so this time the blood wolf handed over the command to him.

This may also be a test for the blood fox by the blood wolf, and if it succeeds, the blood fox may be the second-in-command in the guild.

That's why the blood fox is so enthusiastic.

The four of them searched around, and sure enough, they found the rhizomes of many plants, although these plants were still young shoots, but they still gave Li Xiang a little hope.

Walking in the direction of these plants, for about three or four hours, they came across an oasis in the middle of the desert.

The four of them immediately rushed over and gulped down the sweet and cool water, and there was no need to consider whether there were parasites in the game, and when they were full, the kettle was filled and a fire was raised.

"Where should we go to find that lost guy now?"

After drinking the water, the blood fox began to think about business.

"It's too difficult to find someone in this desert with this clue alone." Xue Ying said what was in her heart very seriously.

Indeed, this is also a big problem, and if you can't find any other clues, you can only declare the game over.

Blood Fox was a little unwilling, but if there was really no way, he could only make this decision.

Seeing that the blood fox's mood was a little low, the blood wolf spoke.

"I'll think about the end of the problem later, now I have a good night's rest, and I'll look for clues tomorrow."

The blood wolf spoke, Xue Ying and the blood fox didn't dare to have any more opinions, Li Xiang naturally didn't have any opinions, anyway, fifty gold coins had already been collected, and it had nothing to do with him whether the task was completed or not.

"Since the boss said so, then I have no opinion." After Xue Sakura finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the night sky.

"I'll keep vigil tonight, and you guys get off early."

After the blood fox finished speaking, he was going to go to the woods next to him to find some firewood.

Li wanted to lie on the sand and start resting, when suddenly, the exclamation of a blood fox came from inside the woods.

Blood Wolf and Xue Ying immediately drew their weapons and rushed over, and Li Xiang saw that they were all over, so he immediately got up and went over.

The blood fox finds a clue in the woods with a strange symbol carved into it, a bit like the sun and a bit like the moon.

"What does this symbol mean?"

When the blood wolf saw the symbol, he was very puzzled, and the blood fox frowned.

"This should have been left behind by that man after he came here to replenish the water, and I didn't expect us to find his route by mistake."

The Blood Fox immediately copied the symbol.

The people were about to go back to the fire to make another plan, but when they came out of the woods, they found that the fire had been extinguished.

The blood wolf immediately drew his weapon and stepped forward to check, while Xue Ying was protecting Li Xiang's side.

"Alright, come here." After the blood wolf finished the inspection, they were allowed to come over, and the reason why they didn't let them just now was because they were worried that they would destroy the scene.

Li thought they walked over and saw a series of strange footprints on the side of the fire, which looked like dog footprints, but they were larger than dog footprints.

"What kind of animal is this?" Li wanted to see what kind of four-legged animal it was, so he asked the blood wolf.

"It's not clear yet, but since it's not afraid of fire, it doesn't seem to be a beast, so you have to be careful on duty tonight."

The blood wolf was a little worried, after all, this thing had not attracted the attention of the blood wolf to extinguish the fire, and it was not an easy thing to solve.

However, you can't sleep in the game, just lie on the ground and wait for the dawn and recover your strength.

The next day, when the sun spewed out the blood-red morning sun, Li thought they were making their final preparations.

Originally, there were still some fruits in the oasis that could be healed and reincarnated, which could be regarded as a supplement for players in the game, but with Li Xiang, they could save time for picking.

"I think the idea of this pattern is that he is going in the direction of the rising sun, because it means that the sun has not yet risen and the moon has not yet set, but the part of the moon is painted underneath."

The blood fox said what he thought, the blood wolf did not speak, and Xue Ying did not speak.

Li thought about it for a while, and felt that what the blood fox said made some sense, so he nodded in agreement.

The four of them marched in the direction of the sun again, until noon, when they found the ruins of an ancient city hidden under the yellow sand.

Seeing the sun was too scorching, so everyone rested in this place before leaving.

In order to verify his correctness, the blood fox searched in the ancient city, and sure enough, he found the word "country" on a wall.

The traces of this word are very new, and it seems that it has just been carved not long ago, and it should be left by someone.

"Is this guy full and has nothing to do, why don't you just write it, but leave these boring clues." Xue Ying complained that she was a girl who ran into the desert to get sunburned, and she was worried about whether she would get a tan.

"Probably, he's in trouble, you see." Li Xiang found a fire nearby, and there were a few cigarette butts next to the fire, as well as a few traces of sitting.

"Could it be because he was kidnapped by someone?" After the blood fox saw these things, he couldn't help but think like this.

"It seems that yes, judging by the marks on the ground, they should have seven or eight people, and the weapons are not bad, you see, this is the mark left by the firearm."

The blood wolf pointed to a mark on the ground and said that the ground was full of soft sand, and some heavy objects would leave marks on it.

And Blood Wolf and Meng Lang are comrades-in-arms, it seems that he was also a special soldier above, and he is still confident in appreciating this trace.

"Could it be some desert bandit, but what are they doing with this person?"

Xue Ying didn't understand, this mission was really clueless.

"This is reflected in the word, you see, the national character is composed of a mouth and a jade character, could it be that he wants to say, the other party wants to know the whereabouts of the jade from his mouth."

"As for what kind of jade, I don't know." After Li Xiang finished speaking, the Blood Fox pondered for a moment and felt that this possibility was not impossible.

"I have an idea, that is, in addition to the kind you said, there is also a possibility, that is, the word represents a city, and what jade treasure is there in this place?"

The blood wolf also put forward his own idea, and although the two of them did not agree on the same guess, they were generally this possibility.

"Then we have to hurry, lest those people get the first place."

When Xue Ying heard that there was a treasure, she cheered up.

"Since the other party has been walking to the east from the beginning to the present, it seems that this place is in the east, let's go."

The blood wolf always expresses his opinions in key places, and it can be seen that he is still satisfied with the performance of the blood fox this time.
