Hearing Luo Luoshan's question, Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian both looked at Qingshi unconsciously.

"!" Qingshi said without hesitation, "However, there is no need for us to wait for the next window, we will pass after dawn." If my guess is correct, those poisonous insects and beasts will only haunt at night. ”

"It's quite possible!" "But once it's dawn and as soon as the sun comes out, I can't pinpoint it. ”

"What?" Chen Tianye said, "You can only locate it at night, not during the day?" ”

"Exactly!" "I've tried countless times, but as long as it's daylight, I can't tell the direction, and the sun's trajectory seems to be chaotic and can't be used as a reference at all. And, every day, at dawn, a strong wind blows over this large area and kicks up sand and dust, erasing all traces from the ground. It is simply impossible to find the entrance during the day. ”

"Really?" Qingshi touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Let's run here from the stone forest, it's only about twenty miles." We should be able to determine the direction now, if we set up a direction sign at once, and follow this direction after dawn, will we not be able to reach the stone forest? ”

"No way!" "I've been in a situation like this many times, and the direction in this area must be chaotic during the day. Don't say twenty miles, I'm afraid that if you go out of two or three miles, you will lose your way. ”

Hearing Luo Luoshan say this, everyone shook their heads and sighed, only then did they know that they had been walking day and night all the way, and it turned out that it was not just to avoid the scorching sun during the day, but to identify the direction was the most important reason.

"Alas! Case! "Then we might as well start our journey back before dawn." ”

"No!" Qingshi said: "No matter what, I want to wait until dawn to see the situation." Whether you can determine the direction and find the entrance again during the day, I don't think it hurts to give it a try, it's just a big deal to delay for one more day. What do you say? ”

"This ......," said Luo Luoshan after a moment's thought, "good! Just do what Brother Haiya said! ”

In fact, it was too late for them to return now, because the dawn was approaching, and the wind began to blow in the desert.

The wind began to become more and more fierce, and the sand and dust began to rise, and everyone took out their wind protection equipment to avoid the wind and sand, and soon three tents were erected and the three teams entered each of them.

The small sandstorm lasted only about an hour, and when the sun rose, the winds slowly became lighter and almost completely stopped in less than a quarter of an hour.

The air was completely devoid of fine dust, and the scorching sun began to scorch the earth, and the three teams each emerged from the half-buried tent and began to travel in a southeasterly direction.

Luo Luo Mountain walked at the front of the team, Qingshi fell last, and when a group of nine people walked out of nearly five miles, Luo Luo Mountain stopped.

"What's wrong?" Bai Sha asked.

"Look at the sun in the sky," said Lorosan, "and I can't guarantee that we are in the right direction. ”

Everyone looked up, and although the sun had just risen, it was already bright and hot, and other than that, it didn't seem to be any different.

"It doesn't seem to be any different!" Chen Tianye said, "We have been going to the southeast all the time, and now the sun is still in front of us on the left, right?" ”

"Then look at the footprints we have walked!" "Look, are we going straight?" ”

Everyone looked back at the footprints they had walked and were somewhat confused.

In the desert, there are sand dunes closely connected, people can only walk along the ridge between the sand dunes, it is impossible to climb to the top of a hill and slip into the deep ravine between two sand dunes in order to walk in a straight line, so the strength required to walk is countless times greater, not to mention, in fact, it may not be able to keep a straight line. Therefore, when people move forward, they can only keep the general direction unchanged, and the footprints under their feet can never be a straight line.

Now, when they look back, they can only see a mess of walking trails, turning left and right, and they can only see traces of a mile or two, because they are blocked by sand dunes further back. Whether it has kept the direction unchanged or not is not easy to judge.

"Boss Luo," Bai Sha said, "Of course you can't go straight in the desert, but what Brother Mang Ju said seems to have a point, the direction of the sun has not changed, and the general direction of our progress should be correct." ”

"You don't see what the problem is," said Lorosan, "so let's climb up to the big sand dunes in front of us and take a look, and you'll understand." ”

With that, Luo Luoshan took out a single knife and placed its tip on the ground in the southeast direction they now believed. Then start to climb the sand dunes with everyone.

Although the sand dunes are not high, the yellow sand under their feet is soft and sunken, and it is very laborious to climb up, but fortunately, everyone cultivated very high, and soon climbed this sand dune dozens of zhang high.

Standing on the top of the dune, Loro looked up at the sun in the sky, and then let the sunlight shine on his diagonal left side, so that he should be facing the southeast.

"Look at it," said Loroshan, "I'm facing the southeast now, right?" ”

"Hmm~" Chen Tianye said, "That's right! ”

"Then look down at the traces we have walked again." "If I'm not mistaken, the direction I'm facing right now shouldn't be the same as the direction we're walking. ”

The crowd began to scrutinize the trail of their advance. Standing on a high place, they could indeed see farther, and most of them had good eyesight, and although the traces of movement in the desert were not obvious, they could still make out more clearly.

Everyone discussed and confirmed each other while identifying, and soon, everyone agreed. According to the results of everyone's observations, they found that their group was really moving in the wrong direction. From the traces that can be seen now, it is clear that they first went not in the southeast direction, but due south, and later, they turned to the southwest.

And what surprised them the most was that just below their sand dune, the tip of the single knife placed on Mount Loro was not facing southeast, but what they now considered to be north.

"Got it?" "The direction is changing all the time. Under the dunes, what we identified as the southeast is now the north, and now the southeast we identify is different from each of the previous measurements. Which measurement is correct? ”

Everyone looked at each other, speechless.

"Grandma's!" Duan Wutian looked up at the sun in the sky and said, "This sun seems to be very naughty, deliberately mischievous with us!" ”

"Yes!" Luo Luoshan smiled, "Is there any way Brother Ke to stop mischievous and don't play tricks on us?" ”

"I can't help it!" Duan Wutian said with a smile, "However, the boss of our Tianxuanmen must have a way!" ”

Oh?

Everyone looked at Bluestone.

"It's not the sun that plays tricks on us!" Qingshi smiled slightly and said, "It's the 'Desert Divine Dragon'." ”

"It's nature!" Luo Luoshan said, "Does Brother Haiya know how he is playing tricks on us? ”

"I don't know!" "But I guess this must be a formation technique related to light and shadow and illusions. ”

"Array Technique?" Anan glared and said, "How do you know it's a formation technique?" Besides, just knowing what it is but not knowing why, there's a fart! ”

This Anan always puts on a stinky face all day long, and when he talks to people, he is either with a gun or a bad night, and he doesn't know what is wrong.

"Who says it's useless?" Qingshi smiled, "Knowing that it is the illusion of light and shadow caused by the formation spell that is playing tricks on us, then we can understand at least two points."

"First of all, we didn't determine the direction accurately, but we didn't deviate too much, and we should be not far from the entrance by now. Because no matter how powerful the Desert Divine Dragon is, it is impossible to include the entire Great Desert in the Phantom Array.

"The second point is that since we can only use light and shadow illusions to mislead and trick us in broad daylight, it means that those poisonous insects and evil beasts will indeed only haunt at night, and there should be no danger when they enter the stone forest during the day."

Qingshi's words certainly made sense, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"What's wrong with knowing these two?" Anan didn't buy it, and said with a stinky face, "If you know, you can find the entrance?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Qingshi said, "But it's better to know than not to know!" If you know it, you can think of a way, it's better than having nothing to do with both eyes. ”

"What can be done?" Anan pouted and said, "Boss Luo hasn't found any way for so many years, I don't believe you can do anything!" ”

"You!" Duan Wutian really couldn't help it, and said angrily, "You don't understand your own fart, but you still sneer at others, why are you so indebted?" ”

"You know what you do?" Anan rolled his eyes and said, "If you have the ability to figure out a way, I'll let you smoke it if you come up with it!" ”

"Anan, shut up!" Luo Luoshan frowned and said, "Haiya is right, after knowing these two points, we can find a way to try it." ”

"Not bad!" Qingshi said, "It doesn't matter if we don't know how the Desert Divine Dragon did it, and we don't need to know. ”

"But......" Luo Luoshan wondered, "since we don't understand how he did it, how do we know how to crack it?" ”

"Why do you have to crack it?" Qingshi smiled slightly, "For example, those poisonous insects and beasts last night, we can't deal with them, so let's not deal with them, we only need to go during the day, and we don't need to deal with them."

"This light and shadow illusion in the day has disrupted our direction, we can't crack it, then we won't crack it, we just need to act at night. So, my solution is very simple, just one word: wait! ”

"Wait?" Luo Luoshan blurted out.

The others were also stunned and didn't react for a while.

"yes!" Qingshi said with a smile, "Now let's stop messing around, let's set up a tent here and wait, wait until the evening, Boss Luo uses his astrological positioning method to determine the direction, and then take us to the buried boat outside the stone forest last night." Then, we waited there until dawn, and then we entered the stone forest. ”

"That's right!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all smiled and said: Why didn't we think of such a simple truth?

In fact, this seemingly simple truth is hidden behind the chaotic and complex appearance, and only by seeing through the illusion with a wise eye and analyzing the truth with strict logic can it be possible to find a solution.

Everyone praised the bluestone and thought that this method was feasible. Anan tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded slowly in thought, seemingly agreeing with Qingshi's idea.

Syllable!

Duan Wutian stretched out his hand and slapped a bald scoop on Anan's head.

"What?" Anan looked surprised, touched his head and said.

Syllable!

"Pump you!" Duan Wutian stretched out his hand again and slapped Anan with a bald scoop, and at the same time, he was still muttering, "Call you yin and yang weird!" ”

"Hey!" Anan shouted, "Why are you beating people? ”

Syllable!

"Call you cynicism!" Duan Wutian continued to fan.

"Oh, you stupid big man......" Anan stood up and ran.

Syllable!

"You are called to curse!" Where did Anan escape Duan Wutian's clutches.

"Boss ......" Anan ran to Luo Luoshan's side to seek protection, but Luo Luoshan held back a smile like everyone else and did not stop him.

Syllable!

"Tell you to put on a stinky face for a day!" Duan Wutian was unrelenting.

"Help...... "Anan Wawa screamed and ran down the dune, stumbling to the ground under his feet, his body flipping and rolling all the way down.

Hahahaha.......

Duan Wutian stopped chasing, looked at the embarrassed Anan, and laughed with everyone.
