Chapter 136: Turtle's Breath (1)
It's empty, it's lonely, it's hot.
Behind the dunes, there are still sand dunes.
I went into the distance, and the front was still far away.
There is no end in sight, and there is no beginning in sight.
The desert is a place that tests people's perseverance, and it is also a place where people's perseverance is tempered.
In the swaying, the caravan moved forward slowly, and I don't know how far it has gone or how long it has walked. Chu Qing, who was about to be dizzy from the sun, suddenly felt a chill on his body, and in the chaos, he only felt that the sun was no longer so dazzling, and the temperature was no longer so hot, as if it was dark. Was it a delusion? Her eyes widened in confusion and she looked to the side.
It turned out that the camel caravan had walked under a tall sand mountain, and the sunlight was completely blocked on the other side. Looking at the huge shadow, Chu Qing felt something dark for the first time, and it also had its beautiful side.
How long to stay here for a while, outside the shadow, the scorching sun is overhead, compared to purgatory on earth, Chu Qing thought so in his heart, and found that the camel caravan also stopped.
I saw the leading camel wandering in the shadow of the sand hill for a while, trampling the sand with its strong front hooves a few times, making a dull noise, and then lying down in front. Then came the second head, and then the third head...... When the riding camel shrank down, Chu Qing suddenly felt that his life had been saved, just like a drowning person, suddenly his feet were hard and he climbed ashore with strength.
As soon as his feet hit the ground, the little chubby bear bag desperately untied the cloth belt on his body, ran to the side, found a soft sandy area, and dug desperately with his front paws. In less than a moment, a small pit was dug and jumped desperately.
The bottom of the bunker was cooler than the ground, and it was much wetter, and the little fat bear bag took a few big breaths, and then slowly opened his eyes, looked up at the small irregular sky at the mouth of the bunker, twisted his body, and settled down.
Chu Qing also took off her hood, took a few big breaths, looked at the little fat bear bag in the sand pit, and then raised her eyes to look at the sand mountain that was so high that she couldn't seem to see the top, and a sense of gratitude really rose in her heart.
Under such a vicious sun, this is indeed a rare shady place, and after only a few moments, you will feel that not only the sand under your feet is cold, but also the air around your body.
Sitting on the sand and resting for only a while, Chu Qing's body and mind were much soothed, and while he was happy, he immediately thought of another question, and said in a low voice: "It's such a hot weather, I don't know where Xiao Jiu is." After saying that, he looked back, listened, and there was no one chasing him, and he turned his head and saw the camels that were napping again, knowing if he would set off again for a while and a half, and said: "It's so good, you can escape the summer, and you can wait for Xiao Jiu." ”
Then the little chubby bear seemed to come to life again, climbed up from the sand pit, shook the sand off his body, looked around, and began to run happily as if to celebrate his rebirth.
Chu Qing smiled and said, "The camel team will set off again in a while, so you won't take the opportunity to cool off." ”
Hearing this, the little chubby bear bag still didn't stop, but just slowed down, looked at the paw prints he left on the sand, and played.
Chu Qing looked at it for a while, shook his head and smiled, this desert is really too lonely, except for the yellow sand in his eyes, there is really nothing to play.
Crawling and crawling the little chubby bear bag stopped in front of a pile of sand, which was a very ordinary pile of sand, but in such a fish scale sand formed by wind erosion, it seemed to be excavated by someone, deliberately piled together, and near the pile of sand, there were a few shallow marks, as if they were footprints, and as if they were left by dragging something.
The little fat bear bag saw something strange, and walked around the pile of sand again, but found nothing, but he was still a little puzzled, so he screamed at Chu Qingwei.
Chu Qing originally looked up at the sky, looked at the white clouds floating by, and thought about his own affairs, so he stood up and walked over when he heard the sound.
With such an abrupt pile of sand, Chu Qing saw the problem at a glance, turned his head and looked at the sand pit that Little Fat Bear Bag had just dug up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Bag Bag, you see, the sand pile you piled up when you dug the sand pit just now is almost the same as this sand pile." ”
Could it be that anyone has been here?
With a stomach full of questions, Chu Qing and the little fat bear bag searched around, except for the fifteen camels resting quietly, they didn't see any creatures, let alone anything unusual.
Chu Qing looked down at the sand pile again, blinked her bright eyes, and muttered, "Isn't someone here and gone?" But what kind of person could it be, enter the hinterland of this desert, and walk ahead of himself. Thinking about it like this, it will definitely not be Xiao Jiu, will it be Feng Shuzhu, the thought flashed like this, and an inexplicable excitement suddenly rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but look around a few more times, but he still found nothing. Why do you still remember him? Maybe even Shui Lingyue and Granny Duan can't tell, thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she was laughing at herself, so she shook her head slightly.
Chu Qing's mood gradually calmed down, looked down at the pile of sand, looked into the distance again, and said in his heart: "One thing should be certain, in such a desolate desert, I am no longer alone. Whether this person is an enemy or a friend, I am afraid that we must pay careful attention. ”
Chu Qing thought so, and took the little fat bear bag to walk around the shadow of the sand mountain again, but still found nothing, but when he returned to the camel caravan, he noticed that with the footsteps of time, the sun turned some angles, and the tall sand mountain could no longer block all the sunlight, and the shadow under the sand mountain was constantly being stretched and gradually narrowing.
Chu Qing stood beside the camel and turned his head to look at the sand mountain, originally wanting to take a look at the sun behind the sand mountain, but as soon as Fang raised his eyes, he saw a large piece of sand mountain collapsing down, like an avalanche, he was shocked, and was just about to dodge backwards, but he saw that the sand mountain only slid down for a distance, so he stopped again, but on the original integrated sand mountain peak line, it left clear traces of fracture.
Some of the camels in the caravan were also frightened, and stood up in panic, trying to escape, but when they turned their heads, they saw that the leading camels only opened their eyes and did not make any response, and the camels lay down in peace, and in their hearts, the leading camels were the leaders of the caravans, and had absolute prestige.
Chu Qing stared at the collapsed sand mountain, and said in a low voice: "Bag, look, there is a big collapse there. ”
The little chubby bear bag also stared in the same direction, and shook his head in confusion.
Chu Qing glanced at the few rays of sunlight coming from the sand mountain, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Is it that the shade of the sand mountain is too cold, and it is exposed to the sun at this time, and it collapses after it gets hot." ”
For such a ridiculous talk, the little chubby bear bag smiled flatteringly and gave Chu Qing a thumbs up.
After watching it for a long time, seeing that there was no change, Chu Qing said again: "Forget it, we don't have to care about this, let's take a look at the camel team, I'm afraid it's going to set off again." But when he turned his head, he saw that the camels had returned to their original form, lying quietly on the sand, one end after the other, and especially the camel with the leader in the lead, lying there motionless with his eyes closed, without the slightest appearance of wanting to get up.
Chu Qing looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was clear, there were no clouds, and the white sky light at the pole was connected with the yellow desert, boundless vastness, shocking people's hearts.
"Rustle", a faint creeping / sound came from behind him.
Chu Qing mistakenly thought that it was the little chubby bear bag and what strange thing was going on, came back to his senses, took a look, and found that the little chubby bear bag was also looking in another direction in surprise.
It was a flat sandy area, which looked harder than the sand in other places, and a few feet away was the strange pile of sand that Chubby Bear Bag had found.
Could it be that the wind is blowing, Chu Qing thought so in her heart, but there was a "rustling" sound in her ears, like something crawling under that sandy field.
The little chubby bear bag was immediately frightened and hid behind Chu Qing, poked his head out, and peeked secretly.
Chu Qing glanced around, and the caravan was still lying calmly, as if he hadn't heard the sound.
"Rustle, rustle," the voice came again, and it became more urgent, making it even more real.
Chu Qing subconsciously took a step back, stared at the sandy area, and crossed his finger-wrapping arm in front of him, making a defensive posture.
There was a loud "whew", coming from the sand mountain behind him, Chu Qing was shocked, and when he looked back, the sand mountain had collapsed again. Frightened, the little fat bear bag turned around again and hid on the other side of Chu Qing, and the camel team was obviously a little panicked, and they all stood up and looked around in horror.
Frightened, he heard a loud "boom" again, this time it came from the sand, Chu Qing turned his head to look, and saw a crack in the sand.
For some reason, Chu Qing suddenly thought of the scene of his battle with Qingqian, and exclaimed: "Monster!" After speaking, he picked up the little fat bear bag and flew backwards.
The camels also panicked and wanted to escape, but the crack continued to extend at a visible speed, cutting off the escape route, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Qing, Little Fat Bear Bag and fifteen camels were trapped in the middle.
Later, the cracks were facing each other end to end, and the besieged sand "boomed" to the ground, and it collapsed several feet deep.
Chu Qing's heart moved, and his fingers softened into a huge round fairy power ball, protecting himself and the little fat bear bag, as well as the camel team, and the person stood in mid-air, twisting the magic trick in his hand, and watched the changes.
Those camels who were originally panicked and confused actually calmed down when they saw the fairy light wall, but they just turned their heads to the outside, and their breathing became obviously heavy.
There was a loud "sudden".
A few zhang away from the sand suddenly erupted a stream of yellow sand, like a fountain, several feet high. Before anyone could react, "suddenly", "suddenly", "suddenly", "suddenly", "suddenly", ......"suddenly", " , and several streams of yellow sand sprayed up in a row.
Then there was a strange cry from under the sand, as if some kind of monster had awakened and was about to break through the ground.
Chu Qing's face was shocked, and he said on guard: "What a monster!"
