Chapter 33: Turning to the Black Desert
In the same situation as Hu Bayi, the daily allocation of drinking water was not much, and this drinking water was consumed more quickly under the roasting of this desert.
At the beginning, Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng couldn't stand the hunger and thirst at this moment, and went to Professor Chen for help.
Professor Chen's ears were soft, so he went to Hu Bayi, who was in charge of drinking water, to ask him for it.
But Hu Bayi's temperament is twisted, and in the communication with An Liman and the experience of these days, he fully understands the horror of this desert.
Therefore, Professor Chen's plea did not work!
Everyone's daily drinking water can still only supply their own natural consumption, and in this regard, Hu Bayi himself leads by example and never drinks more water.
Maybe it's Hu Bayi's leadership, or maybe it's everyone's own inner insistence, and then everyone no longer pesters Hu Bayi for help.
Although the members of these archaeological teams come from different families and come to the desert for different purposes, everyone is still restrained.
It was precisely because of their restraint that in the next few days, they did not talk too much, but saved their physical strength and reduced the natural consumption of their bodies.
And this silence does allow them to rely on daily drinking water to get through each day.
As the sun was setting, the people came down from their camels and began to set up their tents for the evening.
In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is very high, reaching 50 degrees Celsius at the peak, and extremely cold at night, dropping to about -10 degrees Celsius at the coldest time.
This abrupt cold shift has greatly reduced the number of flora and fauna that can survive throughout the desert.
But perhaps because of this large temperature difference, the melons and fruits in this place can effectively store their own sugar, and as a result, the melons and fruits grown in the desert are exceptionally sweet.
That night, the people were spread out in various tents, ready to rest.
Xue Yang, Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi, and An Liman are in the same tent, the tent is very large, and after the temporary mattresses of the four people are laid out, there is still a lot of space left.
Xue Yang's bed is in the outermost position!
This was Xue Yang's initiative to ask, because in this way, once the outside world changed, he could get up and wake everyone up as soon as possible.
Unlike when everyone is asleep, they can only rely on their subconscious to touch foreign objects, since Xue Yang came to the desert, he will replace sleep with meditation and practice every night.
The operation of the internal breath is to constantly replenish his own breath, Xue Yang carried Zhou Tian to cultivate the Burning Sun Miracle Skill, although the internal force he practiced was minimal, but he would not damage his spirit because of this.
Speaking of which, because he broke through the transformation of his strength and comprehended the strange state before, Xue Yang began to automatically try to connect his breath with heaven and earth when he was meditating and practicing.
This also allows him to further practice every day, no longer like in his previous life, and there must always be a time to rest every day.
At this time, Xue Yang could already use cultivation to replace sleep, and through continuous cultivation, his body itself not only did not have the slightest loss, but also continued to improve his internal strength.
The temperature difference in the desert is quite effective for the cultivation of the Blazing Sun Miracle Skill, during the day, when Xue Yang walks in the sand, the strength in his body will be attached to the internal force and sway around.
Every swing will make his internal force condense a little.
Although this trace of internal force was scarce, before that, even if Xue Yang went to cultivate calmly, it would take several hours.
"It turns out that the cultivation of the Blazing Sun Miraculous Skill in the desert still has such an effect, but it is unexpected!"
A trace of joy passed through Xue Yang's heart, in this world where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was thin, his cultivation was naturally very slow, but if he changed to the main world, he believed that the speed at which his Burning Sun Miracle Skill filled the dantian would speed up again.
One night without words, another morning!
Because of the cold air at night, the soil under everyone's feet is no longer hot at this time, which makes everyone interested in walking.
Hu Bayi was still at the forefront, exchanging experiences in the desert with An Liman, while Xue Yang continued his practice.
"Brother Xue, how long do you think we have to walk in this desert? ”
Ye Yixin covered her eyes with her hands and stared at the sun gradually rising in the distance, the sun was very dazzling, making her eyes very uncomfortable.
"I don't know about this, let's take one step at a time. Xue Yang raised his head with his chest straight, and also looked at the scorching sun in the distance intently.
His eyes were bright, even if he was facing the scorching sun, there was no change in the slightest, and his body was erect, but it was not completely tense, but gentle and soothing.
This state of his seems to be relaxed, and it is also the most energy-saving way to walk.
Time passed by in the midst of everyone's chatter and Xue Yang's practice.
Because of the wind and sand in the desert, everyone pursed their mouths and spoke very quietly when they spoke, and everyone's words began to become concise, no longer casual nonsense.
This makes Sa Dipeng, who is lively by nature and likes to study aliens, very unhappy, but this is also something that cannot be helped.
Soon it was noon, the sun was getting stronger again, and the temperature of the ground was beginning to rise rapidly, and everyone felt the heat on the land getting hotter and stronger, and they got on the camels again.
After that, everyone walked for a long time, and the camel caravan slowly stopped!
The time of stopping was not the same as before, and Xue Yang knew that there must have been a change ahead.
He took a step, walked up to An Liman and Hu Bayi, and asked, "Old Hu, old man, why did you stop?" ”
Hu Bayi explained: "Oh, the old man said that we are going to change our path and enter the Black Desert. ”
The Peacock River goes to the southeast, which is the direction of Loulan, Lop Nur and Tanya in ancient times, but the direction of everyone is southwest, and the southwest direction is where the terrible 'Black Desert' is located, and at the end of the Black Desert is the exquisite ancient city that everyone is looking for.
In Anliman's account, the Black Desert was created by Hu Da (the true god of Islam) to punish greedy infidels, and the ancient city of Exquisite Essence was an ominous place abandoned by Hu Da.
An Liman was reluctant to lead everyone into the Black Desert, but after all, he was soft-spoken, and he was threatened by Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang with his camel before, so he could only lead everyone into the Black Desert again.
But even so, Xue Yang knew that this old man would not really help them unconditionally, and when it was really dangerous, he would not care about the lives of everyone, just like when the foreign expedition he led encountered a black sandstorm, he only cared about fleeing back by himself.
