Chapter 157: Mirage

Seeing this, Yun Tianyue subconsciously reminded him not to eat anything here.

But in the next second, another person said, "Don't worry, princess, although we have not been to the Misty Swamp, we have lived in southern Xinjiang since we were children, and we are still very familiar with the plants here, this grass is not poisonous, although no one usually chews it, at most it is taken back to feed the livestock, but there is really no water to drink, and it is no problem to chew it." ”

Seeing this, Yun Tianyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, in that case, then you should be careful, but now everyone is just less water, not completely absent, you can hold on a little longer, maybe wait until tomorrow, we will go a little further ahead, and there will be water in the hinterland."

"Well, we listen to the princess."

"Okay, we got it."

Everyone should be.

Yun Tianyue also returned to Xiao Jingxing's side.

A few people sat down by the fire, Xiao Jingxing and Yun Xiang both ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, and they couldn't eat anymore.

Yun Tianyue handed her kettle to Xiao Jingxing, Xiao Jingxing shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty, keep it for you to drink." ”

Seeing this, Yun Tianyue didn't force it, but she didn't want to drink it, but plugged it and put it back.

After a night's rest, the next day, everyone set off again.

The scorching sun was still shining overhead as it was yesterday, even more intense than yesterday.

The water in everyone's kettle was drunk in half a day, and by the afternoon, someone had already started chewing grass.

Yun Tianyue took out the kettle on her waist and looked at it, it was empty.

At this time, the two kettles were handed over together, and Yun Tianyue raised her head and looked at Xiao Jingxing and Yun Xiang.

Yun Xiang's lips were already dry and broken, and he was chewing a piece of grass in his mouth, but he still said, "Drink mine, I still have a mouthful of water here." ”

Xiao Jingxing blocked his kettle back.

"You just take care of yourself."

As he spoke, he opened his kettle, but saw that there was still a small half pot inside, so he poured a bamboo tube of water and handed it to Yun Tianyue.

"Drink."

The water had already been poured into the bamboo tube, and when Yun Tianyue saw this, she knew that it would be a waste if she didn't drink it, so she didn't politely drink the water anymore.

After drinking, he pushed the kettle to him again.

"You can drink some too."

She saw it all, Xiao Jingxing's lips were dry and broken.

The man shoved the kettle back.

"I'm not thirsty."

Yun Tianyue's heart was suffocated.

Somewhat sour.

She didn't know that this man wanted to save water for her to drink, but he couldn't see her suffering, how could she bear it?

Yun Tianyue turned her head and blinked, not saying those hypocritical words at this time.

She thought that she must go to the hinterland as soon as possible, find the golden-winged cicada, and relieve Xiao Jingxing's poison.

Then, find a way to get out.

In this way, it will live up to their hard journey.

This walk is a whole day.

At the end of the day, no one dares to stop, not because they are not tired, but because they are afraid that once they stop, they will never be able to get up again.

At night, it had to stop.

After all, this place has reached the position of the misty swamp near the center, at least since noon today, they have found several swamps on the road along the way, if it weren't for Yun Tianyue's preparation, let people explore the way with stones and sticks all the way, I am afraid that several people will almost fall into it.

The swamp eats people, and if you really want to fall into it, that's no joke.

However, in the face of such danger, instead of being afraid, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to have swamps.

The presence of a swamp means that their direction is not wrong, and they should be getting closer and closer to the hinterland.

This night, because there was no water, everyone had a hard time swallowing dry food.

However, everyone still forced themselves to swallow a little bit of it.

After all, the most important thing to walk such a long way is physical strength.

If you don't have physical strength, you can't deal with danger even if you encounter it.

slept for one night, and by the next day, even the kettle that Xiao Jingxing left for her was completely empty.

Everyone had to follow along and chew the grass roots.

Fortunately, the taste of this grass root is not as unpalatable as imagined, and there is even a hint of sweetness.

Yun Tianyue chewed and chewed, and walked for most of the day, and when it was almost dusk, a fog appeared in front of them.

"Look! Isn't that a misty swamp?! ”

Everyone looked over in amazement.

I saw a hazy white mist in front of me, and the shadows of fruit trees could be vaguely seen in the white mist, and there were birds flying freely in it.

Everyone was stunned.

So this is the Misty Swamp?

Although it really grew in a fog, it was completely different from the danger they imagined, and just looking at it from the outside, they could see that it was not scary inside.

"It's finally here, it's finally here!"

Someone was already cheering with joy.

Yun Xiang was also very happy, and subconsciously wanted to pass, but was pulled by Xiao Jingxing.

"Don't go over, something isn't right."

His eyebrows furrowed.

Yun Xiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yun Tianyue explained: "Do you remember what we read from the book? The hinterland of the misty swamp is a large swamp that stretches for miles, the soil of the swamp is black, and the bubbles brought by the swamp gas and damp heat roll in it, and the whole sky is like a dark hell, there is no half of life, except for the golden-winged cicada, which is invincible, but you see, this place in front of you, how can it be like a dark hell? The birds flying, and the beautiful fruit trees, how can they look like a misty swamp? ”

Only then did Yun Xiang react.

Immediately retracted the steps he had taken.

"So, we're on the wrong track?"

"No, we shouldn't have gone wrong, we've been following the direction of the map, it's just that this place is weird."

Xiao Jingxing said, bent down to pick up a stone, shook it in his hand, and then threw it violently into the mist.

"Smack".

A stone was thrown on a fruit tree, and a golden fruit was knocked down.

The fruit fell to the ground and rolled into the grass.

"Really? Not a fantasy? ”

Wu Lin said in surprise.

Yun Tianyue was also a little surprised.

When she first saw the scene in front of her, she thought it was another illusion.

She once saw a record in the book, which was written by a person who had traveled far away in the desert, saying that in this world, there is a thing called a mirage, which is probably a kind of illusion that a person has seen after walking in the desert for a long time and not drinking water for a long time.

He would keep walking towards the vision, longing to drink the water in the vision, but no matter how he walked, he couldn't reach that place, and eventually he could only die of thirst.

And how similar is their present situation to that man?

It's all lack of water, it's all extreme thirst, and it's all tired after a long journey, so when such a beautiful scene appears in front of her, she can't believe it, and she will be cautious to think that it is also a mirage.
