Chapter 147: Is This Still Earth?
For the three foundation building period monks who swept through the air, Xiang Yihang didn't pay attention to it.
The sun is approaching the horizon again, and the day is about to transition into night.
However, at this time, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the sand and dust are gradually filling the sky.
The remaining sunlight began to fade slowly.
Visibility slowly decreases.
It's going to be the rhythm of a sandstorm.
Xiang Yihang shouted to everyone to be strictly prepared.
Cultivators plus Xiaoxing, there are a total of 14 people, except for Qiao Yan and Xiaoxing, Xiang Yihang asked each cultivator to correspond to a mortal, and it is important to protect their safety and ensure that they survive the upcoming sandstorm crisis.
The other national teams and cultivators around them all became serious at this time and took their own precautions.
Some national teams saw that there were many Chinese people and wanted to come over to protect them, but they were all driven away by Xiang Yihang.
He is not obligated to protect players from other countries, because he himself cannot predict what will happen, and it would be nice to be able to protect his own country.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sand and dust began to wreak havoc across the sky.
If a tornado is formed, then the tornado will pass everywhere, and I am afraid that ordinary mortals will not be spared.
"Xiang Yihang, professor, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the strong wind, so they have to find a way. Qin Ruxue looked at the crumbling mortal team.
"Professor Pan, can you use the equipment you brought?" asked Xiang Yihang
"Yes, yes, but once the wind is strong, we will be blown away!" Pan Wei replied.
"It seems that this is the only way!" Xiang Yihang said, and then propped up an air shield to cover everyone.
And shouted Qin Ruxue, the Infinite Dao Master, and Lu Ping to maintain the operation of the air hood.
As soon as he entered the air hood, he naturally cut off all sounds from outside, including the howling of the wind, the whimper of the sand, and the noise of other teams, and the entire space was suddenly audible with a pin drop.
Pan Wei, Qin Yao and the others were shocked, and they all looked curiously at the sand in the sky as soon as it arrived around everyone, as if it was blocked by a transparent glass cover, it fell in a sloppy manner, and it felt incredible, because they had no divine thoughts, so they naturally couldn't see the air cover made of true qi.
Soon after everyone entered the air hood, the wind was fierce, and the sand and dust were carried up by the strong wind, whistling like a demon.
In order to save true qi, Xiang Yihang did not have a hard top wind, but controlled the air hood to go downwind.
"All cultivators take out their flying swords and hold up those who can't fly, and our air shields will float upwards or they won't be buried in the sand!" Xiang Yihang ordered.
Because the wind is getting stronger and stronger, under such a strong wind, no matter how high the sand dunes are, they will be blown away and moved, if you keep the air hood still, you will definitely be pressed under the sand, with Xiang Yihang and the four of you, it is difficult to withstand the weight of the sand dunes.
Therefore, the best thing to do is to keep the air hood suspended in the air and not be submerged in sand.
Outside the air hood, the sky was completely obscured by flying sand, and visibility dropped to zero in several households.
Xiang Yihang's mind swept and found that many mortal expeditions had been blown to pieces.
However, he couldn't help but admire that those mortal explorers were each covered with a double-layered balloon at this time, the balloon was made of special materials, and the people and equipment were in the balloon.
At this time, the balloons were tumbling on the ground with the strong wind, and because of the weight of people and equipment, the balloons were not blown into the air, but because the balloons were much larger than the sand, they were not buried underneath.
However, if it is a tornado, it will definitely be swept into the air, and then it will fall from a high altitude, even if it is protected by an airbag, I am afraid that it will be a life of death, but I don't know if those people will be ready to parachute together.
"Assistant Teacher Qin, do you have airbags and parachutes in your equipment?" Xiang Yihang asked coldly.
Qin Yao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Xiang Yihang's purpose was for asking, but she still answered truthfully: "These two things are essential for desert exploration, and each of us has them." “
I see, Xiang Yihang said in his heart. So far, science has developed and it seems that there are sufficient means to deal with desert storms. Unless you are unlucky enough to be blown into a low depression, and then you happen to encounter a large wave of flying sand and be buried, it is difficult to worry about your life.
The wind outside is getting stronger and stronger, and the sand and dust in the sky are rolling in, Xiang Yihang and the other four people control the air hood and follow the wind direction and don't know how many meters they have risen, at least three or four thousand meters, but they are still on the sand ground, indicating that the sand in this place has risen three or four thousand meters.
Within the scope of his divine thoughts, there were no other mortal teams and cultivators.
"Xiao Qin, Xiao Fang, I said yesterday that you were lucky to find Senior Xiang as the team leader, I said it right!" Lu Ping said to Qin Yao and Fang Zhi.
"Indeed, as the predecessors said, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid our team would have been blown somewhere!" Qin Yao replied.
After getting along for more than a day, the estrangement between the cultivators and the national team was slowly being eliminated, and with the adjustment of Xiang Yihang and Qin Ruxue, the Infinite Dao Master and the others did not ignore the mortal team.
"Assistant Teacher Qin, what time is it?" Xiang Yihang asked Qin Yao.
"It's past five o'clock in the morning. Qin Ruxue looked at her watch and said.
"That said, the wind has been blowing for more than ten hours. The wind doesn't end, the rain doesn't end, this wind should stop!" Xiang Yihang frowned and said.
They didn't expect that the danger of Lop Nur had not yet opened, but was blown by a wind and didn't know where it went.
As if to verify Xiang Yihang's words, the wind speed began to drop.
After more than ten minutes, the wind completely stopped, and the sand flew in the sky and fell into the air.
By this time, the sky was already bright. It's just that the fine sand and dust have not completely fallen, so the sky looks gray.
"Xiao Fang, immediately connect to the satellite positioning, and immediately find out the direction of the Lop Nur ear zone. Qin Yao ordered, this expedition, she is the security captain.
Xiang Yihang's four foundation-building monks stared in one direction and didn't speak.
"Assistant Teacher Qin, I'm afraid we don't need to position ourselves, we just need to keep walking towards a low place. Xiang Yihang looked at it for a while and said to Qin Yao.
Because he has already discovered that the whole desert is in a state of small angle slope, combined with the fact that the wind is blowing outward from the center of the great lake when the wind first starts, then the low-lying part of the desert is where the great lake is located.
"Sister Qin, it's been clearly positioned, and the ear zone is in that direction!" Fang Zhi stood up and said to Qin Yao.
The direction he was pointing in was the lower part of the slope.
"Cui Tong, you take out the supplies outside, there is a vehicle inside. After determining the direction, Qin Yao Cui Tong said.
Cui Tong waved his hand, and all the supplies fell to the ground and piled up into a small mountain.
Qin Yao commanded the other 5 special forces, pulled out two large pieces of rubber equipment, and then started the engine inflation.
After a while, two hovercraft appeared in front of everyone.
Cui Tong put other things into the storage ring again.
Since Luo Jia and the other three cultivators of the sixth level of Qi did not have good flying swords, they boarded the hovercraft with the 12 mortal teams.
The rest of the cultivators stepped on the flying sword to lead the way. Qiao Yan naturally followed Xiang Yihang, while Su Yuling was still with Qin Ruxue, and Lan Xuan was also with Cui Tong.
The hovercraft carried by Qin Yao is the latest black technology, and the speed of the hovercraft is basically maintained at more than 120 yards.
After walking for more than three hours, Xiang Yihang and the others, who were flying in front, suddenly stopped.
Qin Yao and the others, who were driving on the ground, naturally also stopped.
"Oh my God, what's going on?" Qin Ruxue exclaimed.
Xiang Yihang, Wuliang Dao Master and Lu Ping next to him were all a little frightened.
I saw that in front of everyone, I don't know how many kilometers away, there was a large conical tower towering up, where the smoke was filled, and the distance was long, so I couldn't see it very clearly.
After being silent for a while, Xiang Yihang led everyone to continue walking.
After another hour or so, the terrain began to rise, and the hovercraft began to climb, and the natural speed also decreased, but also maintained a speed of more than 70 yards.
After walking for about an hour, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up.
"Wow, is this still Earth!" Qin Yao exclaimed loudly.
"Damn, we're not going to travel to an alien world, are we?" Fang Zhi shouted as well.
Xiang Yihang and the others were also a little dumbfounded.
Ahead, the huge lake no longer exists, replaced by three towering "buildings", each of the same shape, with a pointed top and a large base, with a vertical inward and an outward-facing oblique part.
The three buildings are erected on a circular platform, distributed in an equilateral triangle, and outside the round platform, there are layers of stairs facing downward, and at the bottom of the stairs, there is a "moat" about two kilometers wide, and it seems that the lake water before is in this "moat" at this time.
"It seems that this is the so-called Lop Nur danger. I estimate that the place surrounded by three pillars is the abyss that leads to the earth. Xiang Yihang said, because it was too far away, his divine mind couldn't see the middle part of the three cone-shaped buildings.
"But to get to the pillar, you have to cross this moat first! I don't know if there is any danger under this river!" Qin Ruxue said.
