Chapter 33: Encountering a Sandstorm
The tall and short girls collected the scattered bones of Kim Congbai, and since they were not damaged, Kim reassembled them and quickly stood up.
The weather in the desert is changeable, sometimes the wind blows several times a day, some big and some small. The sun was setting in the west, and it was approaching dusk, but the wind was getting stronger and stronger, mixed with yellow sand, and the sky gradually became dark. Duanmu Haoyang has experienced a sandstorm, and the change in the weather at this moment makes him have a bad thought, won't there be another sandstorm!
"Boss, it's not good! There will be a sandstorm in the Ghost Cloud Desert almost every two or three months, according to the current wind, it is estimated that it is much bigger than the last time, once it encounters the center of the sandstorm, even the Blue Bone King may not have a chance to escape, and the spiritual fire can be preserved is considered lucky. "Jin Congbai has survived in the desert for a long time and has some experience, and the divine consciousness transmission reminds Duanmu Haoyang.
"There are no mountains nearby, find a big sand dune to hide, shelter from the sandstorm, and then continue to look for treasure when the sandstorm stops. Duanmu Haoyang told everyone about his arrangement, and emphasized that "the four of us get together, and don't disperse until we have to."
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the strength of the Yellow Bone King and the Green Bone King were all blown to a staggering and staggering way. Finally found a large sand dune, and the four of them each dug a pit on the side of the dune, and the bones hid in it.
The wind was howling, the yellow sand covered the sky, although the sun had not yet set, the light was extremely weak, and Duanmu Haoyang and the other four people could no longer see each other clearly.
Duanmu Haoyang's divine sense spread out, probing the situation of the four people, more and more sand was blowing from the windward side of the sand dunes, the tall and short sisters had been buried in the yellow sand, Jin Congbai was slightly better with him, but it would not be long before he would be the same as the tall brothers and sisters.
It's not terrible to be buried in the yellow sand, it takes a little effort when it comes out, but now the sandstorm is getting more and more intense, and it is still getting stronger. The sand dunes would move with the strong winds, and at any moment, the four of them would be exposed to the sandstorm.
"What should I do?" Duanmu Haoyang asked Jin Congbai directly, hoping that people who are timid and good at saving their lives can give some advice.
Jin Congbai was nervous, "Boss, there's no way! The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and I have never encountered such a violent sandstorm before." ”
"Aren't we in the middle of a sandstorm?" The tall divine consciousness sounded, expressing concern, and he felt the fierceness of the sandstorm.
The dwarf girl curled up in the yellow sand, not communicating with the three of them, but her behavior showed that she had probed the scene outside, and she was a little scared at the moment.
The yellow sand covering their bones grew thicker and thinner, and everything was going in a bad direction. Tall on the side, separated from Duanmu Haoyang by the short sister, Jin Congbai is on the other side of Duanmu Haoyang, the tall leg bones have already exposed the yellow sand, and before there is time to react, the skeleton body is wrapped in the wind and sand and leaves the hiding place, and soon disappears within the range that Duanmu Haoyang's divine sense can sense.
When the short girl was about to reveal the yellow sand, Duanmu Haoyang struggled out of the sand, trying to pull the short girl, but still didn't have time. As soon as he came out of the yellow sand, the wind did not give him a chance to stretch out his bones, and he was directly blown to the ground, rolling with the wind, unable to stabilize his body and stand.
After a moment's hesitation, Short Girl and Jin Congbai both disappeared from the coverage of his divine sense, and he himself didn't know where he was. Duanmu Haoyang was lifted by the wind, the skeleton body was off the ground, every bone seemed to be being pulled by someone, and the spiritual fire swayed left and right in the wind.
The ultimate output of soul power, controlling every bone to be stable on the bones. Duanmu Haoyang felt that he was getting higher and higher from the ground, thirty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters, and his divine sense finally couldn't find the height he was at, and the pull of the wind was no longer as strong as it was at the beginning, sometimes big and sometimes small, he could only resist with all his might, feeling a little exhausted.
A lot of white and golden bones were found in the Divine Sense sensing range, and occasionally the Yellow Bone King and the Green Bone King, all desperately resisting the damage that the wind was about to inflict.
Duanmu Haoyang realized that he was swept into the air by the sandstorm, and the height he was at must be very high, if he was thrown out by the wind, it would be completely shattered. Not daring to be careless, controlling the effective output of soul power, and avoiding wasting soul power, he didn't know how long he would have to stay in the sandstorm, and looked forward to the sandstorm ending soon.
The divine sense kept probing the surroundings, first, to see if they could find the tall and other three, and second, to ensure that they could respond in time when danger occurred. Three hours passed, Duanmu Haoyang found nothing, did not find any of Gao Da and other companions, he was still in the sandstorm, circling with the wind.
The consumed soul power could not be replenished in time, and he already felt that his soul power was exhausted, and the spiritual fire had shrunk by half of its original size. In order to save soul power, the Qingxuan tortoise shell that the bone held and could not be included in the spatial ring was placed on his chest, and the skeleton body curled up into a ball as much as possible to reduce the pull of the wind, and he was drowning in the sandstorm like a round ball.
I don't know how long it took, Duanmu Haoyang's soul power was basically exhausted, his consciousness was blurred, and he finally felt that the wind was shrinking, and his body seemed to be decreasing little by little. He couldn't hold on, and at this moment, the Qingxuan tortoise shell in the bone palm condensed a force, enveloping the faint spiritual fire, and at the same time, Duanmu Haoyang was completely unconscious.
At the end of the sandstorm, Duanmu Haoyang lost consciousness, his skeletal body fell from the sky, buried by the yellow sand, and the sandstorm still rolled some skeleton creatures close to the ground and floated into the distance.
Duanmu Haoyang was not the first to fall, nor was he the last.
The desert was calm again, the fiery red sun hung over the sky, and the wind blew through the sand dunes, kicking up yellow dust. The yellow sand loosened, and one bony hand stretched out from the yellow sand, and then the other stretched out, and the cyan skeleton creature slowly crawled out.
Two days later, Duanmu Haoyang came out of the yellow sand, he had already sensed everything outside, and now he was alone again. Looking around, he didn't find any reference object available, he didn't know where he was in the Ghost Cloud Desert, shook his body, cleaned the sand from the bones, and walked towards the south, he needed to find a reference object to judge the next direction of progress.
I don't know how the tall and short girls and Jin Congbai are now, and where they have gone, their ultimate goal is the central oasis and shape the flesh, so they can only rush while trying to find a few people. After experiencing such a raging sandstorm, he was very worried about the safety of Gao Da and the other three people, but he had no clue to find them, only hoping that they would be able to escape.
Duanmu Haoyang's divine consciousness spread out, covering an area of more than 210 meters around him, maintaining vigilance, and disappearing into the edge of sight.
He woke up in the desert two days ago, and Xuanwu told him that he almost extinguished the spiritual fire, and at the last moment, Xuanwu desperately tried to be detected by the Ghost Cloud Desert Great Array, and wrapped his spiritual fire with soul power, so that he survived the storm. Dare not come out until the consciousness is fully restored, so as to avoid encountering danger and not being able to deal with it.
On the way, he hadn't seen a few white skeleton creatures, and whenever he found Duanmu Haoyang, he avoided it from a distance, and seemed very careful. However, the Golden Bone King saw more, and basically avoided him like the white skeleton creature. Because he didn't know where he was, he wanted to catch a skeleton creature and ask, but the skeleton creature here was very alert and never succeeded.
At this time, Duanmu Haoyang became cautious, and his divine consciousness did not completely disperse, avoiding encountering skeleton creatures and escaping again. Using the sand dunes to hide the skeleton figure, he slowly poked out his head, just in time to see a peak Golden Bone King digging a pit in the sand, he controlled his divine sense within a range of twenty meters around his body, close to the Golden Bone King, and when the distance between the two was still more than fifty meters, he suddenly accelerated, and the Golden Bone King found the Green Bone King Duanmu Haoyang, got up and ran.
It's a pity that his speed is not as fast as Duanmu Haoyang, and he was captured within seventy meters of running.
Duanmu Haoyang didn't talk nonsense, "How far is this place from the Central Desert?Are there any mountains nearby?What are the names of the mountains?And why are there so few white skull creatures?" asked four questions in a row before terminating the transmission.
