Chapter 150: The vast desert
Ma Jin was leading a team of Tucheng Guards to patrol. He had just finished patrolling the east gate and was about to return to the camp when suddenly a very eye-catching man walked in a hurry from him and stepped over with great strides, which made him stunned there for a long time.
The content of the guy who escaped from the giant polygon worm incident in the Li family, and the young man who sat with Ye Zilan at the banquet, overlapped with the man who had just walked past him with amazing similarity:
The blue armor and the giant sword as big as a human were just a person except for the red-eyed black face. How fast his mind was turned, he instantly understood why Ye Zilan and Shen Hu went there at that time, but he didn't understand.
He was noticed by the guards beside him in a daze. One of the guards hurried up and asked, "Sir, is there anything wrong?"
Ma Jin came to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go back to the camp first."
This person is too hiding. Judging from his appearance, he has obviously been in Tucheng for a long time, and he is dressed so eye-catchingly, but he has not been discovered until today. As for these people, they are afraid that they will not be able to find him.
After repeated consideration, he wrote a letter to the Guan Hu, telling them that the person who was everyone looking for appeared in Tucheng, but had left Tucheng and walked towards the east.
On the other hand, just relying on the trace of clues and the urge to fill his chest, He Ming relied on his strong legs and feet to run wildly towards the desert in the east of the Alliance, hoping that the name he had murmured many times in his dream would reappear in front of him.
From the sky full of loess, walking through the lushness of Zuma Forest, and then stepping into the border mixed sand and soil, the legendary desert appeared in front of him. Before that, this terrible desert had always been a forbidden area for humans, and today, He Ming broke in directly.
However, he thought it was too simple. He rashly broke into the vast sand sea with just one person's courage. Isn't it just a small one? It was cold and the wind came north. When he looked up, he was sad and gloomy, looking at the endless white sand under his feet.
At first, I was looking forward to doing my best to move forward. If the direction was good, I could find the legendary oasis. I survived first and then continued to search for clues. I didn’t know how to go. The scenery would not change. It would always be white when I looked.
The sky was gloomy, and I don’t know when the sun would appear before my eyes. There was nothing else to tell the direction. He wanted to use his super memory to remember the route he had taken, but he saw the sand dunes moving with his own eyes more than once, and the scenery was still fixed.
Maybe this is the real reason why Lieyan's expedition team was trapped in this ghost place. He Ming's heart began to get nervous. As the sky got darker, the cold wind like a knife blew on his face. The armor wrapped in the cotton coat could not prevent the biting cold from entering his body.
The physiological discomfort inevitably made him shudder, and the uncontrollable impulse in his mind slowly declined. His eyes were as sharp as a gaze, looking at the current environment.
He is now standing in the vast sea of sand, without any signs to distinguish direction and purpose, and he is too excited to get clues in the backstage, and he goes out too quickly, and brings water and supplies to last for no long.
Thanks to the severe coldness of the year now, otherwise the desert journey this day would be enough for him to die if he was dehydrated.
Moving forward aimlessly, you may find the legendary oasis, but even if you discover the oasis at that time, you will inevitably be exhausted. The horse-headed human monsters who are waiting to work will definitely welcome them in their way.
Even if you look back immediately, the footprints a hundred steps away had completely disappeared in the wind and sand. When you look around, a small hill is moving. The legendary change of worlds is simply repeated in this desert again and again.
The only thing that can continue to point him in the direction is the shrill and bone-bone wind, and you must not just die here! Li Yueqin's current situation may be very miserable, but I am also dead. No one in this world will remember her again, and all that is left to her is true despair.
After this thought arose, he could only let go of the slim clues and hope, and without hesitation, he turned around and returned in the direction he came. As the wind and sand wiped his footprints, he advanced at full speed in the direction of the strong wind, thinking about how to solve this situation.
Shortly after he raised his foot and walked out of the place, the sand monster with sharp teeth and claws that were several meters long quickly formed. The strange monster wandering in the desert would wait for the living creature to stop losing its power and take shape and swallow it instantly.
But He Ming had already gone far away. The sand monster's empty and soulless eyes looked in disappointment in the direction where He Ming was going away, and then dissipated with the wind, as if it had never existed before.
However, the current situation and the harsh weather did not give He Ming much time to consider what to do next, because he had no choice but to move forward step by step.
The howling north wind whistled in his ears, making He Ming's clothes rush. Obviously, the wind became even stronger. The huge wind speed could almost push He Ming in his armor to walk around, so He Ming felt much more relaxed on the way back than when he came.
However, the sky was completely dark, and the vast white sand was not aware of things. The hazy sky was without stars or moon. It could only use the wind direction as the north and explore the direction to move westward. The temperature difference in the desert at night was so large, coupled with the cold wind, which made him feel that the armor and cotton coat on his body seemed to have completely lost the ability to keep the cold.
This time, He Ming truly felt the insignificance of man and heaven and earth. How big is the world? It is really ignorant and arrogant to fight with the power of a single mortal! After wrapping his clothes tighter, he floated along the wind and bit his teeth tightly, hoping to walk out of this desert before the supply and physical strength are completely exhausted.
However, the wind direction is generally from the north, but it is millions and cannot be directed. We can only choose the way based on the general feeling. In addition, the desert terrain often moves fast sand and dunes, He Ming almost survives and dies many times. How could he expect before coming here that the depths of the desert are so complex, and how can the crisis be exhausted?
He struggled to the vast sea of sand for a day and night. The next day, when the sky gradually darkened, He Ming finally saw a stable terrain. In this land not far from the League, sand dunes did not move, and quicksand was very rare. He could walk back with his memory.
He finally chewed off the last half of the pancake that he had been struggling to keep, then drank the water in the water bag in one go, and took all his strength. When he got here, he could enter the situation of the League Grand Prix in just one hour. He breathed a sigh of relief and then stepped forward.
However, after only a few steps, the sky suddenly became dark and dull in the middle of the night. The strong wind that could have pushed people to move was mixed with snowflakes!
This sudden cooling, people had already expected the snowfall to come, but for some reason, it took so many geniuses to start falling. But after dragging for a long time, it did not mean that there was less snow. Instead, the sudden snowfall suddenly hit the sky and the ground was overwhelming, and the heavy snow was like white clouds hitting directly on the ground.
The heavy snow of the geese feathers hindered He Ming's vision, and it completely covered the ground into another scene in less than half an hour. It was also He Ming's memory that he happened to be here to determine the direction.
He kept walking in the direction he had determined, and finally arrived in the territory of the Union Leadership before the night came. The snow on the ground did not pass his feet in just one or two hours. He had exhausted supplies and stuffed a few bites of snow into his stomach while continuing to move forward. This situation stopped in the wilderness and would not live tomorrow.
However, even after entering the territory of the Communist Party, the road ahead is still long and there is no idea where the end is. The two-day trek has exhausted the impulse and passion brought by the clues obtained by He Ming. Now he just wants to find a place to stay for a rest.
It was also a road that was endless. While walking, his eyes suddenly opened wide and he couldn't believe his eyes: Isn't there a small inn inn ahead?
In fact, He Ming also passed by here on the way, just rushing around. This inn is really small, so he didn't leave an impression.
Since the rumors that gold could be rushed in the desert spread in Tucheng and Shabak, some desperate people have always wanted to try their luck in that place of death, but for some reason the three major families in Tucheng have not used the desert oasis map, which has led to these people having to blindly look for it.
After all, those adventurers, homeless men and exiled people are not the united and reliable and well-trained team of Lieyan. Their exploration in the desert is almost fruitless, and only a very small number of people can get some unexpected gains.
But no matter what, after the movement of people, it means there will be opportunities and benefits here. As more and more people rush into the desert desperately, some people who smelled the smell of gold coins built this small inn at the junction of Mengzhong and the desert.
Although the house is extremely crude, the facilities in the store are pitifully small, the variety of food and beverages is quite monotonous, and there are only a few small rooms in the area, any charge is a huge price. As long as one customer spends, you can make several days of expenses. Even so, business here is endless and never stopped.
The time when He Ming came here can be said to be the happiest time for the boss behind this shop. The monopoly effect and the overwhelming yellow sand and white snow drove all the pedestrians into this shop.
Not to mention that their undesirable rooms were rented out, even the reception hall was filled with people of all kinds, surrounded by several braziers cooking and grilling the fire to keep warm. Because there were too many people, the straw that was temporarily moved in was emitting a strange smell.
It was under such circumstances that He Ming pushed open the door and walked into this small inn.
