Chapter 226: Desert Inn
The yellow sand is all over the sky, and the scorching sun is in the sky.
Zhou Heng found that after entering this Yang Fan's cave world, he was actually in a boundless desert, and everywhere he could see, there was yellow sand and nothing else.
The sunlight in the sky is extremely scorching, the sky is so blue that there is no cloud at all, and naturally there is no shady place.
It's blazing everywhere, giving the feeling of being scorched.
Zhou Heng suddenly felt a little weak, it seemed to be a natural physical change in this scorching environment, "My current body is just a paper figure after all, although it looks no different from ordinary people, but I am a little afraid of high temperatures and water. ”
This is the weakness of the paper man.
However, there is also the benefit that the paper body does not feel hungry, nor thirsty, nor even tired.
In this way, as long as he endures the scorching sun, his paper body is still very suitable for walking in this boundless desert.
It's just that his time is only thirty days, and he can't stand the consumption, so he still has to find a way to leave this desert as soon as possible.
But Zhou Heng didn't know anything about this place, and the only way to find a way out of the desert was to find someone else as soon as possible and ask about it.
The easiest way to find someone is undoubtedly to find a water source or oasis in the desert, and there will be people near the water source.
As for how to find water in the desert?
This is not a difficult thing for Zhou Heng, although he is now a paper body, and many basic attribute bonuses in the physical aspect are invalid, but the basic attribute bonuses in spirit and insight are still valid.
As a result, he was able to easily discern from the surrounding terrain, insect activity, and human footprints buried by the wind and sand.
Afterwards, Zhou Heng performed Ling Bo micro-steps, walked forward quickly, and searched one by one in the direction where traces had been found, trying to find traces of water sources or people.
I don't care about the consumption of internal qi at all.
This is because, after being ignited by Yan Shouyi, when this paper body performs various martial arts or Taoism, all that is consumed is the power contained in Yan Shouyi's breath.
And how powerful the spiritual power contained in the breath of the heavenly man is, for this paper body with only a seventh-grade level, it is completely endless internal qi power, and it cannot be used up at all.
Therefore, Zhou Heng ran wildly in this desert, and saw a lot of bones and the things left behind by these bones along the way.
Usually he would stop, bury the bones, and then wrap the things that the bones had left behind and take them with him.
Although most of these things were mutilated or even weathered, and had no real use, Zhou Heng still planned to take them out of this great desert.
Maybe there are people out there looking for these "bones", and there may be an accident with these foreign objects.
This desert is huge.
Zhou Heng ran for three hours in a row, almost more than a thousand miles, but he still couldn't see the edge, and he didn't find a water source.
In the same way, no living people were seen, but the bones of the dead were seen again, and many relics were left.
Among them, there are also some books, Zhou Heng briefly flipped through them, some of them are map albums, and some are martial arts cheats.
It's just that perhaps because of the special laws of this world, it is difficult to produce the innate masters of the secret six grades, although the power of these martial arts cheats is comparable to that of the seventh grade, or even the peak of the seventh grade, but it still makes people feel very simple and rough.
Finally, in the evening, the red sun is about to set, and the temperature in the desert begins to cool suddenly.
Day and night in the desert are clearly two completely different seasons, the temperature difference is huge, and ordinary people may be frozen to death if they rashly use daytime clothes to rest at night.
However, for Zhou Heng, such a temperature is actually just right, and his body, which was a little sluggish during the day due to the high temperature of the sun, gradually returned to normal.
It was also at this time that he finally found the traces of people, well, to be precise, it should be clear traces of people passing by.
A long string of camel footprints.
Judging by the depth of this camel's footprint, there should be a man riding on it.
Although before this, Zhou Heng also used the method of looking for traces of people or animals to find water sources and traces of people, but those have been buried by the wind and sand, and he can only find them with extraordinary insight and spiritual power.
Now it is different, this string of camel footprints is very clear, which means that this camel, most of the people who still ride camels, are in front.
"Are you finally going to find someone?" Zhou Heng was very surprised in his heart, and his pace under his feet quickened a lot, and finally found a building when the sun was about to completely set.
It seems that the family is watching.
This made Zhou Heng feel a little surprised.
In this endless desert, there is actually a restaurant inn, which is really surprising.
And it is still a three-story small building, it looks like the first floor is the lobby, the second and third floors above are bedrooms, the facilities are quite complete, and there are wooden stakes used to tie camels outside.
Zhou Heng took a closer look, and his eyes fell on the plaque at the door of the inn.
Tongda Inn.
The unremarkable name seems to have nothing special about it, but the door is closed.
Zhou Heng looked at it slightly, thoughtfully.
Eventually, though, he stepped forward and pushed open the door and walked into the lobby of the inn.
When the door was opened, there was a sudden air of red dust in the stock market.
It was actually full of guests, almost more than 60 tables and more than 100 people, so it was not lively.
These people are men and women, old and young, or pushing glasses and drinking happily, or gobbling up and feasting, and chewing slowly and savoring delicious food.
The food on the table is also unique and diverse, chicken, duck, fish, vegetables and fruits, it is everything, and it does not look like a desert inn with few resources at all.
In this Tongda Inn, Zhou Heng felt a completely different taste from the desolate and silent desert outside, as if it was two worlds.
"It's kind of interesting. Zhou Heng smiled, withdrew his gaze from looking around, and went to find an empty table in the corner and sat down.
Not far from this table was a large cauldron, bubbling hot, and in it should be stewed bone broth, although it was fragrant, but it was too hot, and no one wanted to sit here.
"Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" A junior who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old ran over and said to Zhou Heng flatteringly: "We have everything here, just say what you want to eat, as long as the money is in place, everything is easy to say." ”
"I don't have anything special to eat, I just want to fill my stomach. Zhou Heng glanced at the cauldron not far in front of him, and said, "Just bring me three bowls of big bone noodles, is it the soup there?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the cauldron.
"Yes, it must be!" Xiao Er nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "The guest officer is really good eyesight, the old soup stewed in this pot is the signature of our Tongda Inn, you wait a minute, come right away." ”
Then, the little two ran away with a wisp of smoke, went to the back hall, and disappeared.
Zhou Heng was still sitting in his seat, his eyes looked around, stopping on some people from time to time, and after some thought, he began to look around again, the expression on his face was silent, but he already had some guesses in his heart.
After a while, Xiao Er walked lightly, as if it was floating, and steadily placed a bowl of large bone soup noodles in front of Zhou Heng.
"Guest officer, please use the big bone noodles you just ordered, it won't taste good when it's cold. ”
Xiao Er said with a smile on his face, but he didn't leave after delivering the bowl of noodles, still standing on the edge of Zhou Heng's seat, as if he was waiting for Zhou Heng to eat this bowl of noodles.
Zhou Heng looked at the bowl of big bone noodles on the table, and did not move the chopsticks, as if he was a little distracted.
I saw that the bone broth was milky white and a little viscous, but it gave people a clear and non-greasy feeling, the noodles were crystal warm and moist, and the taste should be very good.
On top of the noodles, a few green onions are sprinkled to increase the appetite, and on the side of the bowl are ten slices of stewed red meat, which makes people drool just by looking at it.
"Good noodles. Zhou Heng bowed his head slightly, but still didn't move his chopsticks.
"Since it's a good noodle, why doesn't the guest officer eat it?"
Xiao Er's eyes were fascinated, and he pressed one hand on the table, and said, "Guest, it's hard to find a drop of water in the desert, let alone the bone soup noodles in our inn, you can't spend plum blossoms." ”
"I think it's good, and I want to appreciate it a little longer. Zhou Heng smiled, and at the same time turned his head to look at Xiao Er, "You seem to be in a hurry to let me eat this bowl of noodles." ”
"No, I just want to tell the guest officer that if this side is left out for a long time, it will be cold. Xiao Er suddenly grinned, revealing teeth as sharp as a beast, "If it's cold, it's not delicious!"
At the same time, as soon as his words fell, it was as if some kind of special signal had been released.
The more than 100 people in the lobby of the inn immediately stopped what they were doing, as if they had all been immobilized.
In the next moment, they turned their heads at the same time extremely neatly, looked at Zhou Heng, their eyes were also glowing red, the expressions on their faces became stiff, and they opened their mouths with a sluggish expression.
Then began to murmur in unison:
"Eat noodles, eat noodles, eat noodles, eat this bowl of noodles, don't waste, don't waste, eat this bowl of noodles, eat ......"
Layers of murmuring suddenly filled the lobby of this inn, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old shopkeeper from before also changed his appearance.
It turned out to be a headless corpse, and its neat costume had become full of blood and corpse oil, and its vertebrae grew out of its empty neck, swaying like a white bug, which was terrifying.
"Eat noodles! You eat it, it's not good when it's cold!"
A shrill and piercing sound suddenly came from the left and right hands of the headless corpse, and I saw that it suddenly raised its two palms and faced Zhou Heng.
Each of its ten fingers actually has an eye, blinking a red pupil, and a mouth in the palm of its hand opening and closing and shouting, and the tone is very angry.
It seems that Zhou Heng doesn't eat that bowl of bone soup noodles, which is a heinous thing.
"I don't want to eat this. Zhou Heng shook his head lightly and pointed to the bowl of bone soup noodles on the table.
Now, this side has taken on its original form, and it is no longer the same appetizing human appearance as before.
The porcelain bowl, which was originally fairly clean, has become a tattered clay pot full of dirt, and the inside is not milky white bone broth, but dark green corpse oil.
The noodles that originally looked crystal delicious were all knots of hair, the green onions were broken nails, and the slices of meat were indeed kneading, but the traces of the human face could be seen when they were cut from the human face.
Where is this bone soup noodle, it is clearly a disgusting thing that ghosts and ghosts don't eat.
"If you don't eat it, then die!" shopkeeper suddenly burst out.
Its whole body swelled up, and it suddenly became more than a foot tall, and dense scale armor appeared on its face and hands, and the bones inside also tended to bulge.
Except for the fact that this appearance barely has a human form, it is no longer a human at all.
Call!
Like a raging wind, the monster that the shopkeeper had turned into stretched out his arms, waved a pair of palms full of evil power, and slapped at Zhou Heng.
Rumble!
At this moment, I heard a loud noise, and one of the walls of the inn was suddenly shattered, and I saw a camel suddenly fill in.
Between the two humps of this camel, a man rides.
The man was dressed in a yellow shirt and a hat, and it was supposed to be a woman, holding a long leather whip in her hand, and she rushed in and threw it in the air.
Syllable!!
Hearing only a crisp sound, the leather whip directly hit the "shopkeeper" who was about to attack Zhou Heng.
This leather whip is obviously a trait, and the woman's strength is also extremely strong, and she actually knocked this terrifying humanoid monster to the ground immediately.
Syllable!!
Another crunch.
But it was the woman who collected the whip, and at the same time, the extremely strong force swept through the "diners" in the lobby and knocked them all to the ground.
At the same time as the second child in the restaurant changed, these "diners" also revealed their original appearance, and they were all dead corpses with missing arms and legs, festering flesh and leaning eyes.
"Where did you come from, you dare to enter this ghost cave inn alone, I don't think you want to live anymore!" The woman scolded on the camel and shouted: "Quickly retreat, follow me out of here!"
Before the words fell, the woman rode a camel and rushed to Zhou Heng's side, and stretched out her palm to drag him onto the camel and take him out of here.
The woman knew very well that these terrifying ghosts in front of her could not be killed at all, and even if they were temporarily knocked down, these monsters would quickly stand up.
If you want to live, you have to flee, there is no other way.
However, she couldn't pull Zhou Heng up, let alone pull Zhou Heng onto the camel, she only felt like she was dragging a huge mountain, no matter how hard she tried, the other party didn't move.
What's going on?
What does this guy want to do?
The woman's heart was uncertain and anxious, she knew which goblins were about to recover, and that stronger goblins would soon come.
If you don't leave, everyone will die!!
Bang!
At this time, the woman heard a deafening thunder, and the young man in her gaze suddenly covered his body with a layer of golden thunder!
