Today is the eleventh day for the two of them to enter the oasis.

Chu Xiaoyang slept on the first floor of the stone house, and when he got up in the morning, he found that Qin Wuxian upstairs was gone.

Before the door of the stone house could be made, he opened his eyes, straightened up, and happened to see in the distance, beside the sparkling lake, a woman in white was slowly walking towards him.

Tall figure, beautiful face, cold temperament.

Qin Wuxian deserves to be known as the most beautiful woman in the world, at this moment she has clearly just returned from bathing, changed into a clean white dress, her wet hair is still swaying in the air, the halo of the morning sun reflects the tip of her hair, reflecting the dazzling golden light, it looks very beautiful.

Looking at the people and scenery in front of him, for a moment, Chu Xiaoyang found that he was also in a trance.

However, it was only for a moment.

The strong concentration of the two lives immediately made him sober up.

The breeze came slowly, the willows were blowing, and a man and a woman by the lake walked towards each other, and soon met together.

"Tell me all your plans, I think I can help you. ”

After approaching, Qin Wuxian looked at Chu Xiaoyang in front of him, and suddenly said,

"That way, we can get out of here earlier. ”

Ten days have passed, and her heart, which was originally broken because she was in a desperate situation, is gradually returning to normal after being infected by Chu Xiaoyang's various positive actions.

"I plan to patrol this oasis thoroughly, kill creatures that might be dangerous to our lives, and then simply build a camp, then prepare half a year's worth of food and water, fill up the storage rings, and set off on a long journey. ”

Chu Xiaoyang opened his mouth and said,

"By the way, I need two very important things now, one is a magnet, which can be used as a compass, and the other is salt, when I first came to the Misty Forest, I only had three jars of salt with me, just in case, and now I have made so many cured meats, almost all of them are running out. ”

"There is no shortage of food now, so I plan to take a look around the entrance to the oasis and around the canyon today, and before I came in, I had noticed a rocky mountain range nearby, and there might be salt mines or magnetite in it. ”

Chu Xiaoyang opened his mouth and said what he was thinking now.

"Okay, then I'll be with you. ”

Qin Wuxian nodded, after more than ten days of recuperation, most of the injuries on her body were now almost half healed, although there was still no aura in her body, but there would never be the same situation as before when she fainted at every turn.

One more person, one more direction.

Breakfast was a fresh crucian carp soup with chopped green onions and ginger, but no salt.

Fish, a food that is not easy to preserve, was preferentially chosen to be eaten by Chu Xiaoyang. As for the shortage of salt, he no longer dared to cook food as lavishly as before, so he had to sacrifice the taste of food in exchange for more living space in the future.

Because you have to plan to go out for a long time to find a way out, you need to marinate a lot of food. At present, the demand for salt between the two of them is extremely high, and this problem must be solved first to ensure that Chu Xiaoyang and Qin Wuxian will not starve to death for a few months or even half a year after they leave the oasis in the future.

While making a large amount of food, Chu Xiaoyang also had to take care of the ecosystem in the oasis, so that one day in the future, when they returned to the oasis again when they were desperate, they would still have a place to live.

For this reason, Chu Xiaoyang has not touched the dozens of wild camels living in a corner of the oasis for the time being.

Soon, the two of them had enough tools and food and began to walk towards the outside of the canyon.

Compared with the desert oases with abundant water resources, salt mines are more likely to occur in the barren Gobi Desert.

As for how to find these salt ores, Chu Xiaoyang began to slowly explain to Qin Wuxian halfway through.

It is not difficult to find salt deposits in the natural saline land of the Gobi Desert, but it is difficult to find high-purity salt deposits and purify them.

Soon, the two returned to the Gobi Desert outside the canyon, and after agreeing on the time and place of the meeting, the two men took tools in hand and began to search for ore in two ways.

Chu Xiaoyang's primary purpose is to find a salt mine in the desert, as for magnetite, this kind of thing is easy to distinguish, if you can meet it, you can meet it, you can't meet it, you can't do it, there is no compass, you can rely on the stars to distinguish the direction in the future.

It is worth mentioning that there are also stars in this world, and they are exactly the same as those on the earth, I don't know if it is because the space barrier directly projects the movement trajectory of the stars on the earth.

"Bell!"

"Bell! bell!"

Soon, Chu Xiaoyang held a bone knife, and while walking, he knocked and beat everywhere, in addition to looking at the color and hardness of the rocks, he would also pay attention to whether there were rodent bites or other mammal licking marks on those ore that were particularly white.

In the morning, he had only found a few pieces of ore with very low salt content, and out of the mentality that it was better to talk than nothing, he casually collected a few in the storage ring. This ore, which has a very low salt content, is of little use and will not be used until no salt can be found in the future.

Unconsciously, it was noon, the sun in the sky was getting more and more vicious, Chu Xiaoyang took out the straw hat that had been braided in advance and put it on his head, this straw hat was made by Qin Wuxian in his spare time two days ago, the workmanship was not too fine, and the branches on it often rubbed the scalp, but it could also block the scorching sun.

The relationship between the two, after the formal alliance, has become more and more relaxed.

Soon after, he found a shady place to rest on a rock with his back to the sun.

Lunch is fresh palm tree fruit, the fruit is reddish-yellow, a bit like a jujube, and it is rich in sugar, which keeps him strong in the desert at all times. As for the storage ring, enough fresh water has already been prepared, and it will be enough to drink for a few days.

Just when Chu Xiaoyang had just eaten lunch and was lying comfortably in the shadow of the rock, ready to take a nap, he suddenly felt the vitality in his heart begin to pass rapidly.

"What's going on!"

Qin Wuxian, what's wrong with her!

It can't be another heat stroke, right?

Is it true that after losing the aura, even the most basic survival ability has been lost?

He complained frantically in his heart, then quickly turned around and began to run towards the source of the passage of life.

That stupid woman is always going to die at every turn, so let her stay in the camp quietly in the future.

There was no aura and elixir this time, and he didn't know how to save Qin Wuxian back.

Let's go see what's going on first!

Chu Xiaoyang was running fast under his feet, and it only took more than ten minutes for him to find the source of his disappearance.

In a huge pile of rocks, Chu Xiaoyang saw at a glance that the bright and flickering cold ice sword was stuck diagonally on the ground, at this time, Qin Wuxian was leaning weakly on the rock next to him, panting heavily, and there was a rattlesnake with its head cut off not far away, as well as a few snake eggs.

After the rattlesnake was cut in two, the head of the snake was still spitting out letters in place, and the other side of the body twisted into a ball, and it didn't look like it was dead.

There were dug up lumps of salt crystals scattered all over the ground, and Chu Xiaoyang only took a cursory look at them, and he determined that they were extremely pure, and they could be eaten directly as long as they were slightly filtered.

"Don't speak, I'll take care of your wounds!"

Chu Xiaoyang immediately understood what was going on, Qin Wuxian had found a large salt mine with extremely high purity, and was using tools to collect the salt crystals inside, but he accidentally dug up the rattlesnake's lair.

Then, he was bitten by a snake.
