Chapter 56: The Desert Smoke
If they're traveling, the clear skies at this time will put them in a good mood.
It's a pity that they are now suffering from the relentless radiation of the scorching sun above their heads, and the little water in their bodies is rapidly evaporating, and the super wind blows the four of them into savages, and what hairstyle and image have already been blown to Java.
The sand swept across Wu Xiaoluo's forehead, and the face was covered with a layer of black and yellow color, only the eyes that were squinted by the wind and sand still showed clear light. The exposed skin ached faintly, and despite the exhaustion of her physical strength, she still gritted her teeth and persevered, and she must not lose to fate!
Lang Xing, who was walking in the front, had long lost his sense of direction, and only walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the road ahead became extremely far away, and there was no end of the road in sight, only endless sand.
He thought that this trip to the underworld would be full of freshness and happiness, but at this point, he found that everything was just his beautiful fantasy. At this time, the only motivation to support him is to keep his promise to Fuxi and bring Wu Xiaoluo back to the world safely.
In the desert, the most terrible thing is not that there is no water, but that people will gradually lose hope of life, once the heart dies, they can only wait for death in the yellow sand, until the heart stops beating and life is completely gone.
Fortunately, the four of them are all characters who do not admit defeat, although they are devastated, although they are crazy in their hearts shouting "I can't walk anymore", although they are blown into a knife by the wind and sand, they are glad that they are still alive.
She Wei rubbed her sand-soaked eyes, dragged her tired body, and clenched the whip in her hand to keep herself awake and move on.
Although Bai Luochuan has no body, he is a ghost and belongs to the yin, and under such exposure, he feels like a lamb roasted on the fire, and his soul becomes erratic, and there is a faint feeling that he is about to disappear.
"Even if it's an illusion, there must be a way to live, right?" Wu Xiaoluo shook her increasingly groggy head, couldn't stand, grabbed the last trace of clarity, turned around and said, "Xiaobai, don't you know the geological environment very well? Let's see if we can find the direction, if we go on so aimlessly, we will die sooner or later." ”
Hearing her words, Bai Luochuan stabilized his soul, floated to a high place, and raised his eyes to look.
The sand mountains and sand ridges in the distance are like dragons resting on land, and the tower-shaped sand dunes not far away are in different forms, honeycomb-shaped, feather-shaped, and fish-scale, which are unpredictable. The evaporation under the scorching sun made the surface of the earth erratic, and a hazy mirage-like illusion appeared in the distance, and a lake flooded on the horizon.
No, that's not an illusion!
"There really is an oasis!" Bai Luochuan cried out excitedly, "Xiao Luo, you are amazing!" If it weren't for her reminder, they would definitely not last long, they would definitely not last long, they would have died in this desert, gradually decaying, and finally turned into a pile of white bones, buried deep underground by the wind and sand, and there was not even a wisp of ghost left.
Wu Xiaoluo only made a slight upward movement with the corners of her mouth, and then her body softened and fell down.
"Snack goods!" Seeing that she was not in a good state just now, Lang Xing hurriedly caught her falling body.
"Xiao Luo is seriously dehydrated, quickly, let's speed up to the oasis!" She Wei said urgently.
After Lang Xing and She Wei entered the desert, they never dared to change back into their real bodies, and the sand under their feet was hot, and it was very easy to burn. Maintain a human form, covered by clothes and shoes, and the damaged area is greatly reduced.
But at this time, they did not dare to delay, and they showed their original forms one after another.
Lang Xing carried Wu Xiaoluo on his back, stretched his limbs, and followed Bai Luochuan, who was leading the way above his head.
She Wei endured the severe pain caused by the blazing yellow sand under her, and the huge snake body quickly swam in the sand, always paying attention to the crises that might arise around her, and escorting Langxing.
In desert areas, you must be careful of creatures that are the same color as sand. The sand-like color is not easy to absorb heat, can increase the activity in the desert, and also has the effect of protecting the color, which is not easy to be found by natural enemies, and is easy to forage.
Suddenly, a pale yellow figure burst out of nowhere, slammed into She Wei's hard scales, and his body was knocked backwards and flew a meter away.
