Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 35 The Journey to the Sand Sea

The east of the North Liang, the north of Great Xia, and the south of the Ranger are five hundred miles of desert that are uninhabited.

At first glance, this desert seems to be a frozen undulating sea. No living thing can survive in this world. Even those migratory birds passing by in the sky, and the beasts that have strayed into a desperate situation, most of them can only leave a dry skeleton here.

However, as if hallucinating, a small black shadow emerged from the distant horizon.

The dark shadow walked slowly, gradually becoming clear, a dilapidated carriage, an overwhelmed old horse, and a blind old road staggering behind the carriage.

"Well, I said Miss Susu, you are fine, let me go and sit in the car for a while. ”

"No place. ”

"Then stop and rest for a while. ”

"There is still a long way to go, and we cannot afford to delay any longer. ”

"Alas, my old bones are going to fall apart......"

Tianmo really couldn't move, and his tongue flicked around outside his mouth, like a snoring old dog. Seeing that Su Su had no intention of stopping, he simply sat on the sand and refused to get up again.

The carriage walked out a few more feet before it slowly stopped. Su Su looked at Tian Mo, who was already lying on the sand in a large shape, and was not in the mood to talk to him.

Xiang Bei hasn't woken up yet.

Starting from Shule's wreckage, this is already the third day, the weather is getting colder and colder, Su Su covered all the quilts that can be covered for Xiang Bei, but he is still worried that Xiang Bei will have an accident, especially his lack of sleep, which makes Su Su worried, and from time to time he uses the back of his hand to probe Xiang Bei's forehead.

Zhebecuo, who was sitting next to Xiang Bei, also sighed for a long time, stroking the wounds on his body at a loss, he was still thinking about how to get back the piece of jade that Tianmo had snatched.

"If you don't give me saliva, you can do it. "Lying on the ground and playing scoundrels, Tianmo prayed.

Su Su took out a water bag from the luggage beside him and handed it over, "Save some drink, we don't know if we're halfway there, the water is almost gone." ”

At this time, Jebetso, who was in the carriage, came back to his senses,

"If you want to cross these five hundred miles of sand sea, you will definitely not be able to rely on this little water we have brought. You have to take a detour to get water from the hat well. ”

"Hat Well?"

"Yes, that's a supply that only those of us who have been on this trip to the sand sea all year round know, the water is a little bitter, but it is for us to save our lives. ”

"Then go ahead. ”

"Just ......"

Looking at Jebe's appearance of being speechless and stopping, Su Su was a little anxious, "You old man, why are you so inkbloc, just what?"

"It's just my leg. ”

"Didn't you sit in a carriage? ”

"It's because I can't walk. ”

It turns out that although there is water in this well all year round, the amount of water is very scarce, and it is thought that the water vapor in the nearby sand is slowly accumulating. After each water harvest, it takes another 10 days and half a month for the same amount of water to accumulate again. In order to avoid being discovered by others, Jebecuo took special care to sweep away all the recognizable signs around the hat well.

Then he walked 10,000 steps due south and west with his own steps, and met with a dead sea buckthorn tree where the caravan often walked.

"You see, not far ahead, there is the dead sea buckthorn tree, which is my leg...... Alas. ”

Tianmo on the side heard it, and he was angry, "You old thing, it's really too bad, why are you so selfish, only thinking about yourself, and don't care about the life or death of others at all!"

Zhebei took the blame, and remembered that the jade was still in Tianmo's hand, his face was flushed, and he didn't dare to refute.

Jebecuo is worthy of being an old fox who has walked in the sand sea for half his life, don't underestimate this stupid way to measure with steps, because the length of the steps taken by everyone is different, especially the distance of tens of thousands of steps, it will be a thousand miles away. Those who have ever walked in the desert know that even if a person walks on his own, if he lacks experience, he will even walk out of a huge circle and return to the same place because of the difference in the distance of the left and right leg steps.

Su Su looked at the two old guys more and more annoying one by one, but Xiang Bei just couldn't wake up, and he was angry and turned his back to the two old men, and no one cared about him.

Tian Murai lay on the ground for a while, and understood that it was not a matter of consumption like this, so he gritted his teeth and got up, and continued to walk after the carriage. The wheels of the carriage were half-sunk in the sand and squeaked and rolled forward, and the sea buckthorn tree, which seemed not far away, actually made the carriage go for another hour.

"It's this tree. Jebelso sighed.

It seemed to be intentional, and at the same time as Zhebecuo sighed, Xiang Bei, who had been unconscious, shook his head, and Su Su hurriedly came to Xiang Bei's side, held up his back and made him sit up half-sitting.

Xiang Bei's eyes, which were sunken in his sockets, turned a few times under his eyelids, and finally opened his eyes.

"Susu?"

Hearing Xiang Bei's weak call, Su Su nodded in surprise, and then a teardrop the size of a bean accidentally dripped down and hit Xiang Bei's thin face.

Xiang Bei smiled bitterly, "Susu, why are you crying more and more?"

This question shows that Xiang Bei's mind is quite clear, when he killed the wolf and roamed the rivers and lakes before, no matter what kind of scene he faced, Xiang Bei had never seen Su Su cry, but in Shule City, this Su Su seemed to have become a weak little girl, and cried several times in succession.

Zhao Meier died in a wedding dress, and she cried. Tangshan sacrificed flesh and blood, and died with the sandworm, and she cried again. Of course, there is another scene that Xiang Bei didn't see, that is, she blocked the falling beam sand and gravel for her, and after being knocked out by the collapsed granary, it was also Su Su, a girl, who dug him out of the rubble while crying.

But when Xiang Bei recovered a little, he gathered his eyes and saw Jebecuo beside him,

"Susu, help me kill him. ”

"Good. Su Su didn't say a word, a dagger had already appeared in his hand, and Jebetso hadn't reacted yet, but Tianmo had come back first.

"What? Who are you going to kill?"

"I want to get justice for Brother Tangshan. Xiang Bei said hatefully.

The moment when the sandworm body ignored the inn and ran directly to the granary, Tianmo and Tangshan both understood that the artifact that attracted the sandworm was not the Dragon Descending Ding handed over by Jebecuo, but was still on the old guy's body.

The young Xiang Bei carefully observed the route of the sandworm attack on the inn, and even realized this before them, so he asked Su Su to release an arrow to warn Tangshan.

Su Su never doubted Xiang Bei's order, she would kill whoever he asked her to kill, and would not ask why.

"Alas, I said Brother Xiang Bei, don't be in a hurry to kill him first, besides, if you kill him, none of us will want to live. ”

Xiang Bei ignored him, but shouted angrily, "Susu!"

Su Su's body shook, and he went straight to Jebecuo, Jebecuo reacted at this time, and subconsciously shouted for help, and then thought about it, there was only one old Taoist priest Tianmo present, and his martial arts were not higher than Su Su's martial arts, and shouting was also in vain.

In order to protect himself, Jebelcuo blurted out, "I promise to find the Mao'er Well for you, so that Su Su doesn't have to die." ”

He could see that death was not a deterrent to Xiang Bei, but he also saw that Su Su's death could suppress this delicate big boy.

Sure enough, Xiang Bei was shaken.

"Can you find the well of the hat?"

"Yes, yes, I can find a way to find the well so that everyone doesn't have to die. He especially emphasized that everyone didn't have to die, in fact, he was begging Xiang Bei for mercy in disguise.

Su Su looked at Xiang Bei's eyes and stopped what he was doing, and Jebesu let out a sigh of relief, and a cold sweat had already broken out on his body.

"How do you go to find Maoerjing?" Xiang Bei asked.

"Let me think about it, there must be a way. Jebecuo is not only comforting Xiang Bei, but also comforting himself.

While Jebecuo was meditating, Xiang Bei called Tianmo to his side,

"Senior Tianmo, what do you know about sandworms, and will we encounter such monsters again?"

Tianmo stroked a few goatees under his pointed chin, and put on a look of insight into everything, "What is this sandworm......"

Feeling that Su Su also came over, Tian Mo shook his head in relief, "Actually, I don't know." ”

Su Su then turned around and walked away, and Tianmo continued, "It's not ......."

Tianmo didn't know much about sandworms, but what he knew was enough to make everyone horrified.

The sandworm is indeed an existence that belongs to the desert, but because it has the powerful power of the ancient divine punishment battle, as an immortal half-immortal body, it was suppressed under the eternal yellow sand by the supernatural power.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Boundary Tree Catastrophe, this sandworm has inexplicably broken through the seal, and I am afraid that for a while, I will not be able to find a way to fight it.

"Hasn't it been shattered by Big Brother Tangshan's fire thunderbolt?" Xiang Bei on the side couldn't help but interject and asked.

"The source of the sandworm's power is not the big tree that can walk, the source of its power is a magic called the Seven Star Blood Sacrifice Pool, even if the sand worm tree is shattered by the fire thunderbolt, but where there is still a small tentacle exists, relying on the power of the Seven Star Blood Sacrifice Pool, it can quickly recover and regenerate. ”

"How can such an evil thing still be called divine magic?" Xiang Bei was puzzled.

People always wishfully think that those beings on high are gods, that God is generous, and that God is merciful to the common beings. But ......" Tianmo suddenly shut up.

"What do you mean?" Xiang Bei wanted to ask, but was forked off the topic by Tianmo,

"You still care about that little girl, you've been half-dead these days, and she's going crazy. With that, Tianmo walked away silently.

Xiang Bei endured the pain in his body, gritted his teeth and walked towards Su Su, who was alone next to the sea buckthorn tree.

"Susu, you're still shedding tears. Xiang Bei is not used to making girls happy, besides, he feels that he and Su Su are originally one, and he doesn't need anything to please or comfort him.

Seeing that Su Su didn't agree, Xiang Bei had no choice but to continue looking for a topic, "That sandworm is really ridiculous, obviously he is a big fat worm, and he likes to call us ants and insects." ”

Su Su had already understood the level of Xiang Bei's talk, but she didn't take Xiang Bei's words, but asked another question, "If I die, can you avenge me like Brother Tangshan avenged Sister Mei'er?"

"No, it won't. Xiang Bei's answer was categorical.

Su Su's face darkened, and he didn't dare to look back and let Xiang Bei see his loss.

How do you know that Xiang Bei added another sentence,

"Because I won't let you die!"
