"Team Hu, we can't move forward anymore, the supplies we bring are no longer enough, and it's unknown whether we can return safely if we go any further."

"Yes, there's not much jerky or water left, there's nothing around but damn sand."

"I'm going back, I'm going to drink water!"

Hearing the various words from the Qin family guards around him, Hu Feng couldn't help but feel complicated, this way, the road was too difficult, the grit in the wind was like a knife scraping on people's faces, and at the same time, he had to endure dizziness and dizziness caused by unclear vision and high temperature.

If it weren't for the heavy reward promised by Qin Yumian in his heart, he would have wanted to return a long time ago.

But now that they have reached the edge of what their bodies can support, it is impossible for him not to make a decision to return, after all, although the bounty is tempting, there is only one life.

Thinking of this, he was about to speak, and suddenly!

"Help! Help me! Help me! ”

I saw that half of the Qin family's guard had fallen into the yellow sand, his expression was frightened, and his body was constantly struggling to crawl out of the yellow sand.

He shouted hoarsely, seeing that everyone felt numb for a while, and finally it was an insightful old man from the Qin family who was the first to react.

"It's quicksand! There's quicksand here! Everyone, get out! ”

He said with a frightened face, and at the same time his body kept retreating towards the way he came, the front was too dangerous, no one knew if there would be a quicksand area, at least everyone passed safely.

Although Hu Feng didn't know what quicksand was, but just seeing the fear on the other party's face, he knew that he must be in big trouble, he didn't dare to linger longer, got up and followed behind everyone.

"Help me! Save ~ save ~ me ~~"

Seeing everyone go away, without the slightest idea of saving themselves, the Qin family guards who were deep in the quicksand couldn't help but feel desperate, and they couldn't stop shouting.

The figure of the guard disappeared into the sea of sand, and when the wind blew, the ground was leveled again, as if nothing had happened, and only everyone present knew that a living life had been mercilessly swallowed by the desert.

After everyone stood still, someone in the Qin Mansion guards instantly cried.

Remembering that there were still laughing companions before and they were gone, everyone couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts, and who knows if it will be them next.

"Captain Hu, let's go back! It's so dangerous here! I don't want to die! ”

"I still have my parents, wife and children to take care of in my family, what will they do if I die here? Woo woo woo~"

"I'm going home! I want to go home! ”

Looking at some of the emotionally uncontrollable team members, Hu Feng looked at the calm and unusually calm sand dunes in the distance, as if they had not changed for thousands of years, he was in a heavy mood, he turned around and said to everyone: "Don't panic, Fire Lingzhi is really too difficult to find, and our supplies are not enough to support us to continue searching, everyone take a rest first, and we will return along the long road." ”

After that, he looked up at the road, and a pointed head emerged from the towering medicine mountain on the ground, as if an old man was looking into the distance, looking at this eternal sea of sand from afar.

Hu Feng also rested cross-legged on the ground, one less person, the consumption of supplies was a little less, and the remaining supplies were enough for them to return, which could be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

……

Qin Yumian sat alone on the ground, opposite the Qin family who were busy, the stars in the night sky hung down and shone on everyone's faces, and they could vaguely see the tired look on their faces.

Zhang Xia walked to Qin Yumian's side with a kettle and dry food in his hand, sat beside him, and handed the water and dry food in his hand to Qin Yumian.

"Miss, let's eat something, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, and it is too cold at night to hurry, let's take a rest and set off tomorrow."

Qin Yumian took the things handed over by the other party into her hand, she reluctantly pulled out a smile, nodded at Zhang Xia, and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang!" ”

After saying that, she chewed softly, the dry food was very hard, like wood, except for the faint salty taste, there was almost no taste, and even a little throat drain, Qin Yumian had to drink water to soften it.

Seeing Qin Yumian stubbornly gnawing on dry food, Zhang Xia couldn't help but feel a little distressed, the other party was raised by him, he had treated her as a sister since she was a child, and when she grew up so big, it was the first time he saw Qin Yumian endure hardship.

"Miss, slow down, I still have a lot of water left, I'll give it to you."

In order to continue the trip as agreed, the group specially divided all the water and dry food into several portions, and each person could only eat according to the regulations every day, so as to ensure the normal supply.

Seeing the kettle handed over by Zhang Xia, Qin Yumian shook his head and said, "No need, I have enough here, you can keep the water yourself." ”

Zhang Xia has to pay attention to the situation in the vicinity every day, but also arrange the work of everyone in the team, he is the most hard-working person in the whole team, and he can't be polite to the other party.

"It's been so long since I came out, and I haven't found anything, and I haven't seen the shadow of the fire lingzhi."

"yes, yes, it feels like it's a waste of time."

"Otherwise, we'd have given up."

Listening to the guard's complaints, Qin Yumian's face instantly turned a little pale, she bit her lip tightly, and finally didn't say anything, just lowered her head.

Zhang Xia stood up directly, came to the back of the few people who spoke, and one of them gave a kick, "Eat your things, why are you talking so much?" If you feel that you have too much food to eat, you can give it to others. ”

After the few people who were kicked found out that the person who shot was Zhang Xia, the anger on their faces disappeared in an instant, and they squeezed out a smile on their faces and said: "Eat, eat, captain, let's shut up." ”

With that, the group rubbed their buttocks and squatted back down beside the fire.

This time, they were all honest, and they all shut up one by one, just stayed quietly aside.

Zhang Xia returned to Qin Yumian's side and said with relief: "Miss, don't care, these people are all open-mouthed, and they don't talk through their heads." Zhou Shaoxia has already said before, this place is very suitable for the growth of fire lingzhi, there is a lot of hope, there is still one day left, I believe there will always be a harvest. ”

Listening to the comforting words, Qin Yumian's face improved a little, although she knew that the other party was right, but as she returned day by day, the pressure in her heart increased day by day, and she couldn't force herself to relax.

But until the end, she won't give up no matter what.

Seeing that his young lady's face was much better, Zhang Xia continued: "Besides, even if we don't have anything to gain here, aren't there three other groups of people?" Maybe they've already found the Fire Lingzhi. ”

……

Li Mubai limped behind Wang Ye, with an unconcealable panic on his face.

"Brother Li, you can't do this, or you should go back with your things, this place is really not suitable for you." Seeing that his clothes had been torn and the grizzled Li Mubai, Wang Ye said helplessly.

It's been a day since they came out, Li Mubai's luck is really bad, in this short day, he encountered three quicksands, five scorpion attacks, and in addition, he also had a summer stroke in the middle.

If it weren't for his realm being strong enough to pull the other party out of the brink of death again and again, it is estimated that such a big person would have disappeared into the vast yellow sand.

It's really the only one who has been unlucky enough to be so unlucky.

"Brother Wang, even if I have enough food and water in this situation, I am estimated that I will not be able to return to the agreed place by myself." Li Mubai's face was full of wry smiles, if it weren't for his big heart, it is estimated that he would not die in front of all kinds of dangers, and he would have scared himself to death.

He knew very well that if he really turned around and left, he estimated that he would be done in the next second.

At this moment, he would not leave Wang Ye's sight no matter what.

Wang Ye looked at Zhou Xingyu, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

With that, he got up and took the lead in one direction.

Seeing the direction Wang Ye was heading, Li Mubai touched his head and said, "Brother Wang, are you going the other way?" ”

That direction, if he remembers correctly, was the same direction they had come from.

Wang Ye shook his head and said, "That's right, I'll send you back first, and then continue to explore other places." ”

With such a drag oil bottle, not to mention looking for the traces of the fire lingzhi, it would take him a lot of effort just to prevent Li Mubai from a life-and-death crisis, rather than this, it is better to work harder, send the other party back to the camp, and then turn around and continue to explore.

Without Li Mubai's follow, I believe that he will return here soon.

Li Mubai's old face turned red, obviously knowing that he had caused Wang Ye a lot of trouble, so he had to turn around and follow Li Mubai who was walking in front closely.

When night fell, in a jungle at the foot of Yaoshan Mountain, a pair of bright bonfires were raised, and a few casual men sat next to them, eating the dry food in their hands with the same taste and chewing wax, and looking at the sand sea in the distance with their eyes.

"Captain Hu, do you think Miss, will they have already found the Fire Lingzhi?" One of them asked casually at Hu Feng, who was drinking water.

On this outing, not only did they not find any trace of the fire lingzhi, but they even lost several companions because of it, leaving only the three of them to return to the station with difficulty.

At this time, everyone's mood is not good.

As soon as Hu Feng was about to speak, he saw four hobbled men walking in the distance, their lips were chapped and their eyes were red.

Seeing the person coming, Hu Feng hurriedly stood up, walked in front of several people, and asked, "Captain, how did you get it, did you find the fire lingzhi?" ”

Tie Yun didn't reply immediately, but looked at the few people behind him, shook his head at them, and waited for a few people to sit down, then he said to Hu Feng: "Don't mention it, not only did we not gain anything, but we also lost the lives of several brothers because of this, and we are also considered lucky, so we can return gloomily." ”

Thinking of the experience during this time, Tie Yun still couldn't let go, and when he talked to Hu Feng, his face was extremely ugly.

Hu Feng also sighed and said: "We have no gain here, and now we can only see how the situation is on Captain Zhang, Wang Shaoxia and Zhou Shaoxia." ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw Zhang Xia walking towards this side from a distance with Qin Yumian with a cold face.

Looking at their faces, Hu Feng could also see that the other party had not gained much.

When they left, there were three people, and now only Zhang Xia and Qin Yumian are left, and the fate of the other person can be imagined.

When Hu Feng and Tie Yun looked at Qin Yumian and Zhang Xia, the two also found everyone next to the fire, Qin Yumian sighed in her heart, sped up a little, and walked quickly in front of everyone, she asked the two of them in a hopeful tone: "Captain Tie, Captain Hu, have you found the fire Lingzhi?" ”

The two of them shook their heads with shame on their faces, and said, "I'm disappointed Miss Qin, we didn't find the whereabouts of the Fire Lingzhi, and we also lost a lot of manpower, so it's a very lucky thing to be able to return safely this time." ”

Hearing the words of the two, Qin Yumian's body was unstable and almost collapsed, but Zhang Xia's eyes were quick, and he instantly discovered that something was wrong with Qin Yumian and protected her with his hands.

After a long time, Qin Yumian came back to her senses, she endured the loss in her heart, pulled a smile on her face, and said to the two of them: "It's okay, we haven't found it either, Wang Shaoxia and Zhou Shaoxia are so powerful, they will definitely be able to find the fire Lingzhi, they will definitely be able to find it." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally nodded in unison.
