animal pattern

What the proprietress said, until she left, she still pondered for a while before going to the market with Ao Kong and Anli. He understood the contradiction in the proprietress' heart.
In the southeast corner of the bazaar, a thin young man was sitting in a daze against the corner. A small square was spread out in front of him, with only a piece of animal skin and horn on it. He sat there quietly, as if A transparent membrane separates him from the lively market.
It has been three years, and he has never missed every monthly market in the past three years. His booth only has two things. Slowly being pushed aside, until now the corner has never been visited by anyone, even so, he still insists on coming every time, thinking that only by doing so, can he feel that he has not given up on Dafu.
Today is the last day for him to set up a stall in the market. He has an agreement with Mamu. If the three-year period expires, if he fails to find a suitable person to go to the Misty Swamp with him, then he must give up such days of waiting and find A young Yama married and had children, and lived a stable life.
He slowly turned his head to the sun, it turned out that it had already slanted to the west, three years, it could have been so long, it could have been so short, just as he was about to bid farewell to Dafu in his heart, a shadow cut off the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his body .
"Is this the map of the Misty Swamp?" Lang Yi squatted in front of the booth, picked up the animal skin map and asked him.
"..." He was too surprised, he was used to no one caring, so the sudden question made him unable to react for a while, he stared blankly at the other party, and opened his mouth in silence.
"Are you Adai?" Lang Yi was almost certain that this young man was the Adai the proprietress said, but out of politeness, he still asked.
"You..., yes, I'm Zhan Dai, you... are you going to the Misty Swamp?" A Dai seemed to be injected with vitality, stood up nervously and grabbed Lang Yi's arm for fear that he would disappear, and asked eagerly asked.
"Yes, the three of us are going to the Misty Swamp. I am Lang Yi, and these two are Ao Kong and An Li. Can you provide some information about the Misty Swamp? We can exchange it with other things?" Lang Yi came Before, he originally wanted to go to the Misty Swamp with one more person to gain more strength, but after seeing Adai, he changed his mind a little. Obviously this thin, pale young man has no fighting power. It's not easy for people to take Anli with them. If Adai is added, it may be difficult to take care of them.
"No, nothing can be exchanged for the information of the Misty Swamp. I will only provide it if you take me with you." Adai snatched the animal skin map from Langyi's hand, and said with a strong attitude.
Lang Yi had already thought that it was impossible for Adai to give up his wish to find Dafu so easily, otherwise he would not have persisted for three years, so he gave a more feasible plan: "When we pass through the foggy swamp, we will help You look for your Dafu, bring him out or come back with news about him, what is the exchange condition?"
"No, I must go to the Misty Swamp to look for it myself. If you think that I am not strong enough to fight and will drag you down, you don't have to worry about it. First of all, my beast shape is a Beech Beast. I believe you all know about Beech Beasts. How sensitive is your sense of smell? You can rely on your sense of smell to avoid ferocious beasts, and you can also find your way. Secondly, I have made sufficient preparations for going to the Misty Swamp in the past few years. You follow me first, and then make a decision after seeing my preparations. " A Dai resolutely stated his attitude, and directly pointed out Lang Yi's concerns.
In fact, Lang Yi was a little shaken when Adai revealed that his animal shape was a Beech Beast. In addition, he was also curious about the preparation he said, so he communicated with Ao Kong and Anli and followed Adai to leave the market and go to the residential area go.
The four of them came to a simple and dilapidated wooden house, Adai opened the wooden door, and a huge black shadow rushed towards him, throwing him to the ground at once, the other three were startled by the sudden shock Jump.
A huge mastiff with a lion's head and a grimace, pressed A Dai to the ground with its two forelimbs, stretched out its long tongue, and licked his face excitedly, licking happily. The man immediately bared his sharp teeth and growled at them, issuing a warning, and his grimace became even more ferocious.
"Don't be so impolite, they are my friends." A Dai patted the big head of the An Mastiff, and the An Mastiff immediately put away its ferocious expression, showing a well-behaved appearance. Really awkward.The three of them were extremely surprised that A Dai was able to tame the Cantonese Mastiff. You must know that the Cantonese Mastiff is extremely rebellious, ferocious and ferocious, and it is very difficult to capture it, let alone tame it.
Adai pushed the mastiff, and it reluctantly let go of its forelimbs, and let Adai get up.
"I'm sorry, I made you laugh." A Dai said embarrassingly, patting the back of the mastiff.Seeing that the three of them looked a little surprised, thinking that there was more to surprise you, he stepped aside and let the three of them enter the room.
The house is not big, but there are a lot of things stuffed in it.Adai dragged a big bag from a corner, opened it and introduced one by one: "These bottles are filled with antidote to various poisonous miasmas and some strong drugs; this bag is filled with special insect repellent. Powder, waterproof, can walk in the water without being bitten by leeches and poisonous insects if you apply it on your body; this is a claw knife made of the sharp claws of strange armored beasts, it is extremely sharp, and can cut stones like mud..."
The three of them were amazed that he had thought so thoroughly and prepared well, when Adai took out a pitch-black little turtle from the earthen pot, turned it on its back on the table and spun it around, the little turtle was so frightened that its head, feet and tail were shaking. After a while, after the turtle shell stopped, a small triangular tail tremblingly stretched out, unbiased, just pointing to the north.
"This tortoise is called a magnetic tortoise, also known as a pointing tortoise. In a terrain like a swamp, you can rely on it to judge the direction." Adai finished speaking and pointed to the mastiff, "Awang was raised by me since I was a child, and he understands human nature. , Although my beast-shaped combat power is not strong, it can completely make up for this shortcoming. With my preparations, do I have enough capital to go to the Misty Swamp with you?" Although Adai asked with words, his tone was affirmative.
The three of them have now looked at A Dai with admiration, not to mention anything else, just to tame the mastiff is a strong man, but to give the mastiff such a local dog name as Awang, the three of them feel that there is something twitching, and Lang Yi can't help it Thinking of An Li calling herself Xiaohong, a thought flashed through her and immediately threw this ridiculous association out of her mind.
After the four made an agreement, they studied the map again. Before leaving, A Dai asked him to give him one night to say goodbye to his family and gather at the gate of the city tomorrow morning.
The author has something to say: the weather is hot, I went to cut my long hair short this evening, and I suddenly felt a lot lighter.
It was very depressing to be deleted by JJ's convulsion yesterday. Today, seeing everyone's comfort, I feel better! ! !

20. The caravan strikes up a conversation and asks for a companion...
The joining of Zhan Dai made the clueless trip to the Misty Swamp suddenly turn around, and the mood of the three turned to clear.After leaving the wooden house, Lang Yi suggested to continue shopping in the market and spend the remaining crystals.An Li was used to frugality, and was a little bit reluctant, so he persuaded Lang Yi to save some for a rainy day, since he had almost enough to buy anyway.
Lang Yi looked at An Li's stingy sample, and explained with a smile that there was no unified currency among the ancient orc tribes. Only large tribes would choose some rare things as barter between them for the convenience of trading. medium, but the items used as mediums by each large tribe are different. The spar is only used in Musi City, so it is the right choice to spend it all.Of course, you can also choose to exchange crystals for some rare, precious and easy-to-carry items. Such things are very easy to sell or trade in every tribe group.
But Lang Yi was not prepared to do this. Firstly, there were not many crystals left, and secondly, he really wanted to exchange for some food to bring along on the road. When I was looking at the animal skin map just now, I found that I had to go through the misty swamp A barren desert, the lack of supplies in the desert, some dry food and water should be prepared in advance for emergencies.
The three of them in a relaxed mood fully enjoyed the fun of shopping in the market this time, especially Anli, who would step up to look carefully at any strange things they encountered, ask questions from time to time, but were stingy and refused to buy them. The stall owners are all warm and gentle.
When he came out this time, Ao Kong found that after being in contact with people outside, Anli's temperament became cheerful, he loved talking and laughing, and his original personality was slowly released. Presumably, the silent and introverted Anli was suppressed. Seeing An Li full of energy, Ao Kong felt that no matter what price he paid, it was worth it.
The three of them walked to a strange booth, which was full of colorful inflatable dolls of different shapes, and the side was crowded with curious people. Many children stared at the dolls, acted like a spoiled child, or clamored to ask parents for them. , also bought by the young Daru to coax his beloved Yama.
An Li touched the inflatable doll with his finger. It seemed translucent and thin, weightless, but very elastic. The chubby shape looked cute, so he couldn't help asking the stall owner: "What is this?"
The stall owner was an old Dalu, who kindly replied: "This is an inflatable doll made of wild animal casings, called Ha Tao."
I saw him take out a slender yellow hose, blow it a few times, turn it into a cylindrical shape, twist it a few times, and then make an animal shape. It's really easy to move, and then paint a few colors, a lifelike The armored beast was finished, and the stall owner handed it to little Dalu who was waiting at the side.As soon as little Dalu got it, he happily held up the armored beast Ha Tao to show off to his friends.
Lang Yi saw that An Li was watching with gusto, so he said: "It's very interesting, why don't you buy one." Then he picked up a red eagle-shaped Hatao, Ao Kong looked at it, and handed over a silver one. An Li looked at the two people who were fighting secretly, decided not to use that one, and asked the stall owner, "Can you make me a little Firefox?"
The stall owner replied with a smile, and after a while, a round little Firefox was "freshly baked". An Li's rare one was in his hand, and he looked satisfied, completely ignoring the two people behind him who were grinding their teeth. .
After shopping around for a while, the three of them returned to Luhongyangreen Inn to rest with a big bag of things until they spent the last spar in their pockets.
The next day, when the three of them arrived at the gate of the city, Zhan Dai was already waiting at the gate with the mastiff.The back of the majestic and majestic Mastiff was covered with animal skin covers, and the sides were bulging and stuffed with things. Zhandai himself also had all kinds of bags made of animal skins, large and small, which made it difficult for one person and one animal. It looks a little funny like a merchant.
However, the three of Anli were not much better off, and each carried a big burden half a person's height, with three water bags hanging on their waists. Originally, Ao Kong and Lang Yi didn't plan to let Anli carry things, anyway, they would Ao Kong asked Ao Kong to carry Anli forward, but he couldn't twist Anli, so he had to pick some light and bulky ones and put them in Anli's animal skin bag.
After everyone left Musi City, Ao Kong and Lang Yi turned into animal shapes. Lang Yi was exploring the way in the sky, while Ao Kong and An Mastiff ran quickly on the ground with An Li and Zhan Dai on their backs.It is now mid-June, and it is about to enter midsummer. The scorching sun will make the desert extremely hot and difficult to walk through. Everyone is going to the Tanaku Desert at the fastest speed to cross the desert before midsummer.
After driving around the clock for four days and three nights, everyone was exhausted. The vegetation on the road became less and less, and the soil began to turn sandy. It seems that it is not far from the junction of the Qianshi Plain and the Tanaku Desert. , After discussing with the four, they decided to rest in place before moving forward.
Everyone used local materials along the way, and ate what they caught, and the dry food they brought was hardly consumed.Everyone unloaded the animal skins and rested in place for a while, Lang Yi turned into a flaming falcon to hunt, Ao Kong picked up some dead branches nearby and set up a bonfire, An Li and Zhan Dai picked wild vegetables around .After a while, Lang Yi brought back a mature horned deer. After cleaning it up, An Li carefully roasted it. Soon the aroma of the meat wafted out. He also stewed a pot of wild vegetable soup. Everyone ate the soup with big mouthfuls. In a short while, there will be a pile of skeletons left in the huge horned deer.
After feeding his belly, it was still early. When Lang Yi was hunting horned deer just now, he found that the herd of horned deer lived not far from here, so he and Ao Kong took turns to hunt two more horned deer, preparing to make smoked meat and take them to the desert.
When everyone was grilling venison around the bonfire and discussing the route through the Tanaku Desert, Ao Kong suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, lay sideways on the ground and listened for a while, then got up and said, "A group of people are coming towards us. Come in the direction, there are more than ten people, and it will arrive in about a quarter of an hour."
Lang Yi immediately turned into a beast and flew to the sky to look around, and found that it was a small caravan, and there should be no conflicts. Everyone decided to rest in place and wait and see what happened.
Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, a group of orcs carried their goods and made noise all the way. The leader was a middle-aged Daru, who was tall and majestic, with rough and powerful features, and looked like a rock. At this time, it was his cheerful laughter It came like an open road.If this group of orcs had been making such noise all the way, they would have died in the wilderness long ago. Presumably they also noticed Ao Kong and the others, so they deliberately made noises to express their goodwill and reminders.
"Passing by here, meeting by chance, it's all fate, don't you mind resting here?" The leader Dalu stopped three meters away and asked loudly.
"You're welcome, please do whatever you want." Lang Yi replied lightly, neither too enthusiastic nor unfamiliar, and just right.
"Thank you!" As soon as the leader Dalu finished his sentence, a group of 12 people started to get busy, unloading the goods, hunting, gathering firewood, and patrolling.
Lang Yi found that although this group of people had different animal shapes and were obviously not from the same tribe, they were well-trained and had a clear division of labor. It was obviously a tacit understanding formed after long-term cooperation. It seems that although this caravan is small, it seems that it often travels commercial.
A group of people were lively around the campfire eating barbecue, drinking some strong wine from time to time, accompanied by bursts of talking and laughing.The leader Dalu came over with a wine bag, and generously invited Lang Yi and the others to join the dinner party. He was not upset when he was politely rejected, and sat next to Lang Yi, uncorked the wine bag himself, and took a sip in the air. Then I handed it to Lang Yi, "Everyone have a taste, the homemade wine, hehe, the wild exposure is heavy, take a few sips to relieve the moisture."
Dalu, the leader, saw that Langyi and the others drank the wine very much, and said happily: "My name is Darichi. I have been doing business for many years. I am the leader of this small caravan. This time I am going north. Tanaku Desert, I don't know how many people are going there?"
Lang Yi saw that he was very straightforward even if he was probing, so he explained himself first, and then said: "We are also going north to cross the Tanaku Desert."
"Haha, that happened to be on the same road. If you don't mind, let's get together and take care of each other." Darichi said with a smile and patted Lang Yi on the back.
"You have three times as many people as us. It's too self-effacing to look after each other." Lang Yi calmly pushed back the words.
"Hehe, this brother seems to be a person with rich experience in traveling. To tell you the truth, we also broke in several people along the way. Just a few days ago, we found someone driving in front of us, and we saw some fierce people from time to time along the way." Beast corpses, and then follow your trails, almost never encounter large herds of beasts, so I have the cheek to go with you, and then come to the Tanang Desert. I walked there when I was young, and I have some experience. Brother, what do you think?" Darichi saw that Lang Yi was not easy to deal with casually, so he truthfully expressed his thoughts.
Lang Yi had a brief exchange with several other people, and after all expressed no objection, he replied to Da Richi and agreed to go with him.Darichi was so happy that he high-fived Lang Yi, and clasped his hands in the air to the other three.After sitting for a while, chatting all over the world, I went back to my caravan to rest.
"This caravan leader named Darichi is not simple. He dared to take such a small number of people to carry goods so far. He must have his own uniqueness. Although we are traveling together, we must guard against it. We will play by ear." Lang Yi whispered Talk to the other three.
Ao Kong and Anli lived in seclusion in the valley for a long time. Although Ao Kong also went out to hunt in the valley, they were all with the same clan and had no contact with outsiders. Zhan Dai was also talking on paper and had no real travel experience. Only Lang Yi had rich travel experience. Most of the external matters are decided by Long Yi Na.
Lang Yi recounted the precautions for going into the desert tomorrow. Everyone re-checked the supplies on one side and then rested on the spot. Ao Kong, Lang Yi and Yan Mastiff took turns to watch the night.
The author has something to say: The convulsive JJ loves black holes recently, all the articles were swallowed yesterday, but fortunately, after contacting the editor, he vomited back,
However, the comments were swallowed, and the editor said that there will be no return, let me learn to calm down.
Well, I can't resist, I can only calm down~~~~~~~~~

21. In case of a sandstorm into the Gobi...
There was no shelter on the plain, and the sun dazzled as soon as it came out of the horizon. Everyone struggled to climb up, packed up, and headed towards the Tanaku Desert.
Under the blue sky, the desert is vast, desolate and majestic, and the undulating sand dunes of thousands of miles are scattered high and low like waves, as if nature has solidified the turbulent waves and emptied angry waves in an instant, making it stand still forever However, if you look closely, you will find that this is a large fluid desert. The wind blows and the sand moves, and the landform changes every day. People who see this scene for the first time can't help but sigh the power of nature.Only after actually entering, at a glance, there are bright red everywhere. This is the unique feature of the Tanaku Desert. It is not yellow sand but red sand. The vastness of the desert makes people feel tired, and it seems that they will never go out. It seems that the endless red is more annoying and unknowingly stimulates the violent tendency in people's hearts. This is why Tanaku Desert is more dangerous than other deserts.
The hot air in the desert can almost steam people.Baked by the scorching sun, waves of heat rose from the desert, making it difficult for people to even breathe.
When you step on the sand dunes, the soft sand will sink you, and the sand will slide down, and you will be sent to the same place.If you don't advance, you will retreat. With every step, you have to kick the sand hard, and you must grit your teeth and go against the sand flow.
It was nearly noon, and the sun was rising so high that the desert was so hot that smoke was rising.Darichi touched the sand all over his head and face, and discussed with Lang Yi in a hoarse voice: "It's too fucking hot, take a rest, and go when the sun goes down."
It was also the first time for Lang Yi and others to enter the desert, and they were very unaccustomed to such a high temperature. At this moment, they immediately agreed when they heard what Da Richi said.Everyone put up the awning, but the sand was so hot that they were asked to stand or sit.
Lang Yi is a little better, his animal shape is a flaming falcon, he is more heat-resistant, although Ao Kong is not as heat-resistant as Lang Yi, but he can hold it anyway.An Li and Zhan Dai hadn't walked by themselves, but they were a little dazed by the sun.The worst thing is the mastiff, no matter how brave it is, it is a dog. Dogs are the most heat-resistant. After being roasted, their eyes are straightened, their tongue is sticking out, and they look like they are half dead. Under the canopy, Zhan Dai is feeding water.
The caravan group was not much better. They untied the animal skins wrapped around their heads and shook the sand while swearing. They drank water tiredly and waited for the sun to set while resting.
As dusk approaches, the crimson desert in front of me presents a strangely brilliant color under the reflection of the setting sun, and the folds of countless sandstones are like solidified waves, extending to the distant horizon.
After discussing with Lang Yi, Da Ri Chi and Lang Yi decided to travel at night and stay at dawn to minimize physical exertion.After everyone took back the awning, they packed up and set off. Although it was still extremely hot, it was much better than the previous exposure.
The dehydration rate of people in the desert is unimaginable.It's not that I'm thirsty, I just want to drink water.When you really feel thirsty, you can't drink water at all, and you are already in a semi-comatose state.So once in the desert, everyone stays with the water bag, drinking water in small sips, even if you don’t feel thirsty, even if you don’t want to drink, but you have to do this in order to survive.
After a few days in the desert, everyone has gradually adapted to it. It is not as unbearable as it was at the beginning, but there is no extra energy to swear at the weather. Everyone bows their heads and walks silently. It is Zhan Dai's keen sense of smell in such a desert weather. It can also perform as usual, leading everyone to avoid the beasts in the desert fortunately, along the way, only encountered a few sporadic attacks of beasts, and they were quickly resolved by everyone working together.
Darichi showed a strong interest in Zhan Dai, and walked around him from time to time. At this time, the sickly mastiff would cheer up immediately, bared his sharp teeth and growled at him, with an appearance of keeping strangers away.
On the evening of the third day in the desert, when everyone was walking with their heads buried, a strange sound came from far away. When everyone stood there hesitantly and tried to listen carefully, Darichi suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Sandstorm Come, hide now~~~~~"
Dark clouds surged from the sky, a strong wind hit, and the whirlwind rolled up the sand so high that it was like a big smoke rising from the flat ground, spinning and running across the desert. The sky and the earth suddenly turned blood-colored, and the wind covered the sky with sand and dust, blowing everything around, and the sand that hit people was like sandpaper, polishing every inch of skin.
The climate in the desert area will change a lot in an instant. The weather is clear just now, and then the wind and sand suddenly blow up.The sandstorm came extremely fast, and before everyone could react, they were overturned and rolled up by the sandstorm.
Lang Yi watched helplessly as An Li was swept up into the air from Ao Kong's back by the whirlwind, and then Ao Kong rushed over, and the two disappeared in the wind and sand in the blink of an eye.Lang Yi wanted to shout, but he poured a mouthful of sand into his mouth, making it impossible to make a sound.The surroundings were shrouded in overwhelming dust, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.
Lang Yi braved the wind and looked for the direction where the two were swept away. He felt that his body was like a piece of paper. Every step he took was involuntary, and he would be swept away by the strong wind at any time. He couldn't hear anything except the sound of the wind.
After staggering for nearly two or 300 meters, I found a person on a sand dune.The man was lying face down, half of his body was covered by sand, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, Lang Yi hurried over and pulled him out of the sand.
It turned out to be Ga Er, the youngest in the caravan. He was less courageous. He usually did some miscellaneous work in the caravan. Fortunately, he was still alive, but he was too scared to speak. When he saw Lang Yi rescue him, he fainted from excitement. .
Lang Yi had no choice but to carry him on his back, worried about Anli's safety, and couldn't delay for a moment, but within a few steps, the wind behind them overturned them, and they rolled down the sandy slope together.
The moment An Li was rolled up, Ao Kong jumped up and grabbed him firmly. The two were swept into the air by the whirlwind and fell back to the sand dune. Ao Kong turned over and pressed An Li under him, firmly Cover it, don't let the wind and sand blow Anli.
An Li was under Ao Kong, unable to see anything, could only hear the whistling of the wind, like a devil crying, very frightened and restless, tightly grasped Ao Kong's arms, buried his head in Ao Kong's chest until only Xia Aokong's strong and powerful heartbeat, and then he slowly calmed down.
It seemed as long as half a century, but in fact it only took ten minutes before the sandstorm finally passed. Ao Kong heard the sound of the wind above gradually slowing down, so he got up holding An Lixiang, and found that the two had been buried in the sand more than one meter deep by the sandstorm. In the middle of the battle, Ao Kong took a lot of effort to get the two of them back to the ground.
Looking up, all the landscapes have changed, there is a piece of red sand everywhere, and there is no one.After Anli came out, he was stunned by the situation in front of him. Ao Kong patted Anli's back and comforted him: "Don't worry, everyone may be just like us, just temporarily buried in the sand."
Ao Kong and Anli searched while walking, and soon they saw people from the caravan nearby one after another, Zhan Dai and An Mastiff were also safe and sound, but Lang Yi was nowhere to be seen.
The more An Li searched, the more frightened he became. As time went by, his face turned pale, and his hands began to tremble unknowingly. Ao Kong held An Li's hand, just about to say something to comfort him.
Suddenly the sand dunes in front exploded, revealing a figure. As soon as An Li saw Lang Yi's iconic red hair, he broke free from Ao Kong's hand, ran over, and hugged Lang Yi who was patting the sand on his body. ecstatic.
"Great, you're fine..., I'm scared to death, it's great..." An Li's tense mood suddenly relaxed, and he hugged Lang Yi happily and talked incoherently.Lang Yi hugged An Li tightly with his backhand, and watched his joyful appearance with a smile without saying a word.
Ao Kong looked at the two people embracing each other tightly in front of him, and then looked back at the hand that An Li had thrown away, and he was stunned for a while before he clenched his fist and left.
After everyone gathered, they counted the number of people. Only one member of the caravan was swept away by the sandstorm. They disappeared, but everyone else was safe, but a lot of goods were taken away, and most of the supplies of Langyi and the others were also taken away. Let's go, fortunately some important items of Zhandai are not missing.
After such an experience, there was little food and water left, and everyone was depressed.Darichi looked at the sky and speculated: "This may be just the prelude to a big sandstorm in the desert. A really violent sandstorm may strike again at any time. Let's find a place to hide."
With sandstorms altering the landscape, everyone is now completely disoriented and must reorient.Darichi took out a bamboo pole and stood it on the sandy ground to judge the direction immediately. Generally speaking, in the morning, when the sun rises from the east, the shadows of all objects fall to the west. At noon, when the sun is in the south, the shadows point to the north. In the afternoon, the sun is due west, and the shadow is due east.This method can only be roughly judged, not very precise.
Zhan Dai was worried about Darichi's method of judging the direction, so he took out the magnetic tortoise to determine the direction.When the magnetic turtle was taken out, Lang Yi vigilantly caught the flash of greed in Da Richi's eyes.Indeed, for long-term businessmen, magnetic turtles are undoubtedly treasures and priceless.
Darichi suddenly said that he remembered that there was a Gobi nearby, and he could go there temporarily to escape the sandstorm.Although Lang Yi became suspicious of Dari Chi, after all, he did not do anything out of the ordinary, not to mention that the magnetic tortoise did attract businessmen. Nodded and agreed to go to the Gobi.
After Zhan Dai determined the correct direction with the magnetic tortoise, everyone set off. Having experienced a terrible sandstorm, needless to say, everyone tried to speed up their pace. After more than an hour, the mottled Gobi appeared in front of them.
Because it is located in the tuyere, the four seasons of strong winds, the wind has given this Gobi a devil's "shape". For millions of years, the ground has formed gullies of different depths, and the exposed stone layers have been carved into strange shapes by the strong wind: some grinning. , ferocious and ferocious, like monsters;On the undulating ground, there are stones of various colors such as blue, white, orange, grass green, etc., just like a rainbow road, adding a little bit of mystery.
Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the ingenious workmanship of nature, and An Li loved all kinds of stones so much that he picked a few and put them in his hands to play with.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Darichi could not help anxiously urging everyone to enter the Gobi.
The author has something to say: Since writing this article, I have been fishing for codewords at work every day, and codewords at home after get off work. I have nothing to do when I stay in front of the computer.I am actually a very lazy person, but here, I am diligently digging and filling the soil. I hope you can communicate with me more after reading it. I want to know how you feel after watching it, so that you can adjust your thinking.

22. Introducing people into the urn and being swallowed...
There are towering strange rocks in the Gobi, like a labyrinth. Darichi led the caravan and Lang Yi and others went around inside. Ga Er, who was walking at the end of the caravan, suddenly gave Lang Yi a small bottle while no one was paying attention. When Lang Yi was about to ask, he saw him slipping back into the middle of the caravan, watching as he walked nonchalantly.
Lang Yi sensed something was wrong, and was about to tell the others to be more vigilant, when the caravan in front suddenly accelerated through a depression surrounded by strange rocks, flashed into the pile of strange rocks, and disappeared all of a sudden.
Langyi and the others stopped and looked at the depression vigilantly. At this time, the moon had risen. Under the dim moonlight, the surroundings were tense, and the shadows cast by the strange rocks stretched their teeth and claws. The middle of the depression was covered with gray boulders the size of a wooden basin. , the arrow-like airflow shuttles and swirls among the strange rocks, making a sharp and strange sound. This situation makes people feel hairy.
Suddenly something was thrown from the pile of strange rocks, and the purple smoke that fell on the ground spread out, emitting a pungent fishy smell. Lang Yi and the others hurriedly covered their mouths and noses and stepped back. At this moment, those gray round stones suddenly moved He got up, stretched out his slender and long legs from below, supported a boulder with eight legs, and quickly approached Lang Yi and the others.
Oh my god, the whole depression turned out to be the nest of giant stone spiders. Seeing the densely packed giant spiders approaching quickly, An Li swallowed involuntarily, her whole body went numb to the top of her head.
"Ah~~~~~~~, spider~~~~~~~~, spider~~~~~~~" Zhan Dai's frantic cry resounded through the Gobi, attracting the giant stone spider to crawl over more quickly.
"Shut up." Ao Kong kicked away a few giant stone spiders that were trying to get closer with one kick. He frowned and looked at the giant stone spider that was kicked into the air. He leaned back and twitched while waving eight long legs in the air. Really nasty creatures.
Lang Yi, Ao Kong and Yan Mastiff surrounded An Li and Zhan Dai to block the giant stone spiders attacking from all directions.Regardless of the slender legs of the giant stone spider, they are full of strength. When they are strong, they can penetrate rocks. You must avoid the frontal puncture of the long legs, and beware of the spider silk that shoots out from time to time. It is very sticky. Difficult to get out.An Li stretched out the retractable spear, held it in his hand, and resisted the giant stone spider attacking from the gap, while Zhan Dai was completely paralyzed, his arachnophobia broke out, and his low combat power immediately dropped to a negative level.
Four people and one beast were surrounded by densely packed boulder spiders. The endless attacks made it difficult to resist. Facing more and more boulder spiders pouring in like a tide, there would always be a moment of exhaustion. If you try to break out, you will be trapped by the spider silk, and it will be difficult to escape.
The forelegs of the mastiff were accidentally bound and glued by the spider silk. It angrily tried to rub off the spider silk, but the stickiness became tighter and tighter.Several boulder spiders exerted their strength together, dragging the mastiff to the ground and gnawed on the mud. Taking advantage of its inconvenient movement, several boulder spiders spun silk and shot over, almost instantly smashing half of the mastiff. The whole body is wrapped.
Seeing that something was wrong, Lang Yi immediately took a step forward and cut off the spider thread that dragged the mastiff. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by a giant stone spider on the left back, and its sharp long legs cut through Lang Yi's chest, pulling out a long stream of blood mouth.Lang Yi suddenly felt that his blood seemed to stop flowing slowly, his movements became sluggish, he staggered and fell to the ground, unable to get up again, and felt his body gradually stiffen like petrification.
Ao Kong will be the only one left with fighting strength, he loses sight of the other, but the strange thing is that these giant stone spiders did not take the opportunity to step up their attack, but rather flinched.
"Lang Yi, what's the smell on your body?" At this moment, Zhan Dai came back to his senses, and smelled a strange musky smell emanating from Lang Yi's body, which made the giant stone spiders very afraid.
"Fragrance?" Lang Yi lowered his head and sniffed his chest. There was indeed a musk mixed with the smell of blood coming out. It turned out that the vial that Galsa gave him just now was also pierced by the giant spider's foot, and some reddish-brown Powder spilled out.
Zhan Dai dipped a little powder with his fingers, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully, and said uncertainly: "This seems to be the corpse powder of the firetail lizard. The firetail lizard is the natural enemy of the giant stone spider. It should be able to resist if applied on the body. But these servings are too small, only enough for one person.”
The smell of musk was blown by the wind, and it faded a little, and these giant stone spiders were a little ready to move.Zhan Dai tried several insect repellent powders he carried, but found that none of them had obvious effects on giant stone spiders.Just when everyone was at a loss and was about to be overwhelmed by the giant stone spiders, this group of giant stone spiders that rushed over like a tide also rushed over like a tide.
In the southeast corner of the bazaar, a thin young man was sitting in a daze against the corner. A small square was spread out in front of him, with only a piece of animal skin and horn on it. He sat there quietly, as if A transparent membrane separates him from the lively market.
It has been three years, and he has never missed every monthly market in the past three years. His booth only has two things. Slowly being pushed aside, until now the corner has never been visited by anyone, even so, he still insists on coming every time, thinking that only by doing so, can he feel that he has not given up on Dafu.
Today is the last day for him to set up a stall in the market. He has an agreement with Mamu. If the three-year period expires, if he fails to find a suitable person to go to the Misty Swamp with him, then he must give up such days of waiting and find A young Yama married and had children, and lived a stable life.
He slowly turned his head to the sun, it turned out that it had already slanted to the west, three years, it could have been so long, it could have been so short, just as he was about to bid farewell to Dafu in his heart, a shadow cut off the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his body .
"Is this the map of the Misty Swamp?" Lang Yi squatted in front of the booth, picked up the animal skin map and asked him.
"..." He was too surprised, he was used to no one caring, so the sudden question made him unable to react for a while, he stared blankly at the other party, and opened his mouth in silence.
"Are you Adai?" Lang Yi was almost certain that this young man was the Adai the proprietress said, but out of politeness, he still asked.
"You..., yes, I'm Zhan Dai, you... are you going to the Misty Swamp?" A Dai seemed to be injected with vitality, stood up nervously and grabbed Lang Yi's arm for fear that he would disappear, and asked eagerly asked.
"Yes, the three of us are going to the Misty Swamp. I am Lang Yi, and these two are Ao Kong and An Li. Can you provide some information about the Misty Swamp? We can exchange it with other things?" Lang Yi came Before, he originally wanted to go to the Misty Swamp with one more person to gain more strength, but after seeing Adai, he changed his mind a little. Obviously this thin, pale young man has no fighting power. It's not easy for people to take Anli with them. If Adai is added, it may be difficult to take care of them.
"No, nothing can be exchanged for the information of the Misty Swamp. I will only provide it if you take me with you." Adai snatched the animal skin map from Langyi's hand, and said with a strong attitude.
Lang Yi had already thought that it was impossible for Adai to give up his wish to find Dafu so easily, otherwise he would not have persisted for three years, so he gave a more feasible plan: "When we pass through the foggy swamp, we will help You look for your Dafu, bring him out or come back with news about him, what is the exchange condition?"
"No, I must go to the Misty Swamp to look for it myself. If you think that I am not strong enough to fight and will drag you down, you don't have to worry about it. First of all, my beast shape is a Beech Beast. I believe you all know about Beech Beasts. How sensitive is your sense of smell? You can rely on your sense of smell to avoid ferocious beasts, and you can also find your way. Secondly, I have made sufficient preparations for going to the Misty Swamp in the past few years. You follow me first, and then make a decision after seeing my preparations. " A Dai resolutely stated his attitude, and directly pointed out Lang Yi's concerns.
In fact, Lang Yi was a little shaken when Adai revealed that his animal shape was a Beech Beast. In addition, he was also curious about the preparation he said, so he communicated with Ao Kong and Anli and followed Adai to leave the market and go to the residential area go.
The four of them came to a simple and dilapidated wooden house, Adai opened the wooden door, and a huge black shadow rushed towards him, throwing him to the ground at once, the other three were startled by the sudden shock Jump.
A huge mastiff with a lion's head and a grimace, pressed A Dai to the ground with its two forelimbs, stretched out its long tongue, and licked his face excitedly, licking happily. The man immediately bared his sharp teeth and growled at them, issuing a warning, and his grimace became even more ferocious.
"Don't be so impolite, they are my friends." A Dai patted the big head of the An Mastiff, and the An Mastiff immediately put away its ferocious expression, showing a well-behaved appearance. Really awkward.The three of them were extremely surprised that A Dai was able to tame the Cantonese Mastiff. You must know that the Cantonese Mastiff is extremely rebellious, ferocious and ferocious, and it is very difficult to capture it, let alone tame it.
Adai pushed the mastiff, and it reluctantly let go of its forelimbs, and let Adai get up.
"I'm sorry, I made you laugh." A Dai said embarrassingly, patting the back of the mastiff.Seeing that the three of them looked a little surprised, thinking that there was more to surprise you, he stepped aside and let the three of them enter the room.
The house is not big, but there are a lot of things stuffed in it.Adai dragged a big bag from a corner, opened it and introduced one by one: "These bottles are filled with antidote to various poisonous miasmas and some strong drugs; this bag is filled with special insect repellent. Powder, waterproof, can walk in the water without being bitten by leeches and poisonous insects if you apply it on your body; this is a claw knife made of the sharp claws of strange armored beasts, it is extremely sharp, and can cut stones like mud..."
The three of them were amazed that he had thought so thoroughly and prepared well, when Adai took out a pitch-black little turtle from the earthen pot, turned it on its back on the table and spun it around, the little turtle was so frightened that its head, feet and tail were shaking. After a while, after the turtle shell stopped, a small triangular tail tremblingly stretched out, unbiased, just pointing to the north.
"This tortoise is called a magnetic tortoise, also known as a pointing tortoise. In a terrain like a swamp, you can rely on it to judge the direction." Adai finished speaking and pointed to the mastiff, "Awang was raised by me since I was a child, and he understands human nature. , Although my beast-shaped combat power is not strong, it can completely make up for this shortcoming. With my preparations, do I have enough capital to go to the Misty Swamp with you?" Although Adai asked with words, his tone was affirmative.
The three of them have now looked at A Dai with admiration, not to mention anything else, just to tame the mastiff is a strong man, but to give the mastiff such a local dog name as Awang, the three of them feel that there is something twitching, and Lang Yi can't help it Thinking of An Li calling herself Xiaohong, a thought flashed through her and immediately threw this ridiculous association out of her mind.
After the four made an agreement, they studied the map again. Before leaving, A Dai asked him to give him one night to say goodbye to his family and gather at the gate of the city tomorrow morning.
The author has something to say: the weather is hot, I went to cut my long hair short this evening, and I suddenly felt a lot lighter.
It was very depressing to be deleted by JJ's convulsion yesterday. Today, seeing everyone's comfort, I feel better! ! !

20. The caravan strikes up a conversation and asks for a companion...
The joining of Zhan Dai made the clueless trip to the Misty Swamp suddenly turn around, and the mood of the three turned to clear.After leaving the wooden house, Lang Yi suggested to continue shopping in the market and spend the remaining crystals.An Li was used to frugality, and was a little bit reluctant, so he persuaded Lang Yi to save some for a rainy day, since he had almost enough to buy anyway.
Lang Yi looked at An Li's stingy sample, and explained with a smile that there was no unified currency among the ancient orc tribes. Only large tribes would choose some rare things as barter between them for the convenience of trading. medium, but the items used as mediums by each large tribe are different. The spar is only used in Musi City, so it is the right choice to spend it all.Of course, you can also choose to exchange crystals for some rare, precious and easy-to-carry items. Such things are very easy to sell or trade in every tribe group.
But Lang Yi was not prepared to do this. Firstly, there were not many crystals left, and secondly, he really wanted to exchange for some food to bring along on the road. When I was looking at the animal skin map just now, I found that I had to go through the misty swamp A barren desert, the lack of supplies in the desert, some dry food and water should be prepared in advance for emergencies.
The three of them in a relaxed mood fully enjoyed the fun of shopping in the market this time, especially Anli, who would step up to look carefully at any strange things they encountered, ask questions from time to time, but were stingy and refused to buy them. The stall owners are all warm and gentle.
When he came out this time, Ao Kong found that after being in contact with people outside, Anli's temperament became cheerful, he loved talking and laughing, and his original personality was slowly released. Presumably, the silent and introverted Anli was suppressed. Seeing An Li full of energy, Ao Kong felt that no matter what price he paid, it was worth it.
The three of them walked to a strange booth, which was full of colorful inflatable dolls of different shapes, and the side was crowded with curious people. Many children stared at the dolls, acted like a spoiled child, or clamored to ask parents for them. , also bought by the young Daru to coax his beloved Yama.
An Li touched the inflatable doll with his finger. It seemed translucent and thin, weightless, but very elastic. The chubby shape looked cute, so he couldn't help asking the stall owner: "What is this?"
The stall owner was an old Dalu, who kindly replied: "This is an inflatable doll made of wild animal casings, called Ha Tao."
I saw him take out a slender yellow hose, blow it a few times, turn it into a cylindrical shape, twist it a few times, and then make an animal shape. It's really easy to move, and then paint a few colors, a lifelike The armored beast was finished, and the stall owner handed it to little Dalu who was waiting at the side.As soon as little Dalu got it, he happily held up the armored beast Ha Tao to show off to his friends.
Lang Yi saw that An Li was watching with gusto, so he said: "It's very interesting, why don't you buy one." Then he picked up a red eagle-shaped Hatao, Ao Kong looked at it, and handed over a silver one. An Li looked at the two people who were fighting secretly, decided not to use that one, and asked the stall owner, "Can you make me a little Firefox?"
The stall owner replied with a smile, and after a while, a round little Firefox was "freshly baked". An Li's rare one was in his hand, and he looked satisfied, completely ignoring the two people behind him who were grinding their teeth. .
After shopping around for a while, the three of them returned to Luhongyangreen Inn to rest with a big bag of things until they spent the last spar in their pockets.
The next day, when the three of them arrived at the gate of the city, Zhan Dai was already waiting at the gate with the mastiff.The back of the majestic and majestic Mastiff was covered with animal skin covers, and the sides were bulging and stuffed with things. Zhandai himself also had all kinds of bags made of animal skins, large and small, which made it difficult for one person and one animal. It looks a little funny like a merchant.
However, the three of Anli were not much better off, and each carried a big burden half a person's height, with three water bags hanging on their waists. Originally, Ao Kong and Lang Yi didn't plan to let Anli carry things, anyway, they would Ao Kong asked Ao Kong to carry Anli forward, but he couldn't twist Anli, so he had to pick some light and bulky ones and put them in Anli's animal skin bag.
After everyone left Musi City, Ao Kong and Lang Yi turned into animal shapes. Lang Yi was exploring the way in the sky, while Ao Kong and An Mastiff ran quickly on the ground with An Li and Zhan Dai on their backs.It is now mid-June, and it is about to enter midsummer. The scorching sun will make the desert extremely hot and difficult to walk through. Everyone is going to the Tanaku Desert at the fastest speed to cross the desert before midsummer.
After driving around the clock for four days and three nights, everyone was exhausted. The vegetation on the road became less and less, and the soil began to turn sandy. It seems that it is not far from the junction of the Qianshi Plain and the Tanaku Desert. , After discussing with the four, they decided to rest in place before moving forward.
Everyone used local materials along the way, and ate what they caught, and the dry food they brought was hardly consumed.Everyone unloaded the animal skins and rested in place for a while, Lang Yi turned into a flaming falcon to hunt, Ao Kong picked up some dead branches nearby and set up a bonfire, An Li and Zhan Dai picked wild vegetables around .After a while, Lang Yi brought back a mature horned deer. After cleaning it up, An Li carefully roasted it. Soon the aroma of the meat wafted out. He also stewed a pot of wild vegetable soup. Everyone ate the soup with big mouthfuls. In a short while, there will be a pile of skeletons left in the huge horned deer.
After feeding his belly, it was still early. When Lang Yi was hunting horned deer just now, he found that the herd of horned deer lived not far from here, so he and Ao Kong took turns to hunt two more horned deer, preparing to make smoked meat and take them to the desert.
When everyone was grilling venison around the bonfire and discussing the route through the Tanaku Desert, Ao Kong suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, lay sideways on the ground and listened for a while, then got up and said, "A group of people are coming towards us. Come in the direction, there are more than ten people, and it will arrive in about a quarter of an hour."
Lang Yi immediately turned into a beast and flew to the sky to look around, and found that it was a small caravan, and there should be no conflicts. Everyone decided to rest in place and wait and see what happened.
Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, a group of orcs carried their goods and made noise all the way. The leader was a middle-aged Daru, who was tall and majestic, with rough and powerful features, and looked like a rock. At this time, it was his cheerful laughter It came like an open road.If this group of orcs had been making such noise all the way, they would have died in the wilderness long ago. Presumably they also noticed Ao Kong and the others, so they deliberately made noises to express their goodwill and reminders.
"Passing by here, meeting by chance, it's all fate, don't you mind resting here?" The leader Dalu stopped three meters away and asked loudly.
"You're welcome, please do whatever you want." Lang Yi replied lightly, neither too enthusiastic nor unfamiliar, and just right.
"Thank you!" As soon as the leader Dalu finished his sentence, a group of 12 people started to get busy, unloading the goods, hunting, gathering firewood, and patrolling.
Lang Yi found that although this group of people had different animal shapes and were obviously not from the same tribe, they were well-trained and had a clear division of labor. It was obviously a tacit understanding formed after long-term cooperation. It seems that although this caravan is small, it seems that it often travels commercial.
A group of people were lively around the campfire eating barbecue, drinking some strong wine from time to time, accompanied by bursts of talking and laughing.The leader Dalu came over with a wine bag, and generously invited Lang Yi and the others to join the dinner party. He was not upset when he was politely rejected, and sat next to Lang Yi, uncorked the wine bag himself, and took a sip in the air. Then I handed it to Lang Yi, "Everyone have a taste, the homemade wine, hehe, the wild exposure is heavy, take a few sips to relieve the moisture."
Dalu, the leader, saw that Langyi and the others drank the wine very much, and said happily: "My name is Darichi. I have been doing business for many years. I am the leader of this small caravan. This time I am going north. Tanaku Desert, I don't know how many people are going there?"
Lang Yi saw that he was very straightforward even if he was probing, so he explained himself first, and then said: "We are also going north to cross the Tanaku Desert."
"Haha, that happened to be on the same road. If you don't mind, let's get together and take care of each other." Darichi said with a smile and patted Lang Yi on the back.
"You have three times as many people as us. It's too self-effacing to look after each other." Lang Yi calmly pushed back the words.
"Hehe, this brother seems to be a person with rich experience in traveling. To tell you the truth, we also broke in several people along the way. Just a few days ago, we found someone driving in front of us, and we saw some fierce people from time to time along the way." Beast corpses, and then follow your trails, almost never encounter large herds of beasts, so I have the cheek to go with you, and then come to the Tanang Desert. I walked there when I was young, and I have some experience. Brother, what do you think?" Darichi saw that Lang Yi was not easy to deal with casually, so he truthfully expressed his thoughts.
Lang Yi had a brief exchange with several other people, and after all expressed no objection, he replied to Da Richi and agreed to go with him.Darichi was so happy that he high-fived Lang Yi, and clasped his hands in the air to the other three.After sitting for a while, chatting all over the world, I went back to my caravan to rest.
"This caravan leader named Darichi is not simple. He dared to take such a small number of people to carry goods so far. He must have his own uniqueness. Although we are traveling together, we must guard against it. We will play by ear." Lang Yi whispered Talk to the other three.
Ao Kong and Anli lived in seclusion in the valley for a long time. Although Ao Kong also went out to hunt in the valley, they were all with the same clan and had no contact with outsiders. Zhan Dai was also talking on paper and had no real travel experience. Only Lang Yi had rich travel experience. Most of the external matters are decided by Long Yi Na.
Lang Yi recounted the precautions for going into the desert tomorrow. Everyone re-checked the supplies on one side and then rested on the spot. Ao Kong, Lang Yi and Yan Mastiff took turns to watch the night.
The author has something to say: The convulsive JJ loves black holes recently, all the articles were swallowed yesterday, but fortunately, after contacting the editor, he vomited back,
However, the comments were swallowed, and the editor said that there will be no return, let me learn to calm down.
Well, I can't resist, I can only calm down~~~~~~~~~

21. In case of a sandstorm into the Gobi...
There was no shelter on the plain, and the sun dazzled as soon as it came out of the horizon. Everyone struggled to climb up, packed up, and headed towards the Tanaku Desert.
Under the blue sky, the desert is vast, desolate and majestic, and the undulating sand dunes of thousands of miles are scattered high and low like waves, as if nature has solidified the turbulent waves and emptied angry waves in an instant, making it stand still forever However, if you look closely, you will find that this is a large fluid desert. The wind blows and the sand moves, and the landform changes every day. People who see this scene for the first time can't help but sigh the power of nature.Only after actually entering, at a glance, there are bright red everywhere. This is the unique feature of the Tanaku Desert. It is not yellow sand but red sand. The vastness of the desert makes people feel tired, and it seems that they will never go out. It seems that the endless red is more annoying and unknowingly stimulates the violent tendency in people's hearts. This is why Tanaku Desert is more dangerous than other deserts.
The hot air in the desert can almost steam people.Baked by the scorching sun, waves of heat rose from the desert, making it difficult for people to even breathe.
When you step on the sand dunes, the soft sand will sink you, and the sand will slide down, and you will be sent to the same place.If you don't advance, you will retreat. With every step, you have to kick the sand hard, and you must grit your teeth and go against the sand flow.
It was nearly noon, and the sun was rising so high that the desert was so hot that smoke was rising.Darichi touched the sand all over his head and face, and discussed with Lang Yi in a hoarse voice: "It's too fucking hot, take a rest, and go when the sun goes down."
It was also the first time for Lang Yi and others to enter the desert, and they were very unaccustomed to such a high temperature. At this moment, they immediately agreed when they heard what Da Richi said.Everyone put up the awning, but the sand was so hot that they were asked to stand or sit.
Lang Yi is a little better, his animal shape is a flaming falcon, he is more heat-resistant, although Ao Kong is not as heat-resistant as Lang Yi, but he can hold it anyway.An Li and Zhan Dai hadn't walked by themselves, but they were a little dazed by the sun.The worst thing is the mastiff, no matter how brave it is, it is a dog. Dogs are the most heat-resistant. After being roasted, their eyes are straightened, their tongue is sticking out, and they look like they are half dead. Under the canopy, Zhan Dai is feeding water.
The caravan group was not much better. They untied the animal skins wrapped around their heads and shook the sand while swearing. They drank water tiredly and waited for the sun to set while resting.
As dusk approaches, the crimson desert in front of me presents a strangely brilliant color under the reflection of the setting sun, and the folds of countless sandstones are like solidified waves, extending to the distant horizon.
After discussing with Lang Yi, Da Ri Chi and Lang Yi decided to travel at night and stay at dawn to minimize physical exertion.After everyone took back the awning, they packed up and set off. Although it was still extremely hot, it was much better than the previous exposure.
The dehydration rate of people in the desert is unimaginable.It's not that I'm thirsty, I just want to drink water.When you really feel thirsty, you can't drink water at all, and you are already in a semi-comatose state.So once in the desert, everyone stays with the water bag, drinking water in small sips, even if you don’t feel thirsty, even if you don’t want to drink, but you have to do this in order to survive.
After a few days in the desert, everyone has gradually adapted to it. It is not as unbearable as it was at the beginning, but there is no extra energy to swear at the weather. Everyone bows their heads and walks silently. It is Zhan Dai's keen sense of smell in such a desert weather. It can also perform as usual, leading everyone to avoid the beasts in the desert fortunately, along the way, only encountered a few sporadic attacks of beasts, and they were quickly resolved by everyone working together.
Darichi showed a strong interest in Zhan Dai, and walked around him from time to time. At this time, the sickly mastiff would cheer up immediately, bared his sharp teeth and growled at him, with an appearance of keeping strangers away.
On the evening of the third day in the desert, when everyone was walking with their heads buried, a strange sound came from far away. When everyone stood there hesitantly and tried to listen carefully, Darichi suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Sandstorm Come, hide now~~~~~"
Dark clouds surged from the sky, a strong wind hit, and the whirlwind rolled up the sand so high that it was like a big smoke rising from the flat ground, spinning and running across the desert. The sky and the earth suddenly turned blood-colored, and the wind covered the sky with sand and dust, blowing everything around, and the sand that hit people was like sandpaper, polishing every inch of skin.
The climate in the desert area will change a lot in an instant. The weather is clear just now, and then the wind and sand suddenly blow up.The sandstorm came extremely fast, and before everyone could react, they were overturned and rolled up by the sandstorm.
Lang Yi watched helplessly as An Li was swept up into the air from Ao Kong's back by the whirlwind, and then Ao Kong rushed over, and the two disappeared in the wind and sand in the blink of an eye.Lang Yi wanted to shout, but he poured a mouthful of sand into his mouth, making it impossible to make a sound.The surroundings were shrouded in overwhelming dust, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.
Lang Yi braved the wind and looked for the direction where the two were swept away. He felt that his body was like a piece of paper. Every step he took was involuntary, and he would be swept away by the strong wind at any time. He couldn't hear anything except the sound of the wind.
After staggering for nearly two or 300 meters, I found a person on a sand dune.The man was lying face down, half of his body was covered by sand, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, Lang Yi hurried over and pulled him out of the sand.
It turned out to be Ga Er, the youngest in the caravan. He was less courageous. He usually did some miscellaneous work in the caravan. Fortunately, he was still alive, but he was too scared to speak. When he saw Lang Yi rescue him, he fainted from excitement. .
Lang Yi had no choice but to carry him on his back, worried about Anli's safety, and couldn't delay for a moment, but within a few steps, the wind behind them overturned them, and they rolled down the sandy slope together.
The moment An Li was rolled up, Ao Kong jumped up and grabbed him firmly. The two were swept into the air by the whirlwind and fell back to the sand dune. Ao Kong turned over and pressed An Li under him, firmly Cover it, don't let the wind and sand blow Anli.
An Li was under Ao Kong, unable to see anything, could only hear the whistling of the wind, like a devil crying, very frightened and restless, tightly grasped Ao Kong's arms, buried his head in Ao Kong's chest until only Xia Aokong's strong and powerful heartbeat, and then he slowly calmed down.
It seemed as long as half a century, but in fact it only took ten minutes before the sandstorm finally passed. Ao Kong heard the sound of the wind above gradually slowing down, so he got up holding An Lixiang, and found that the two had been buried in the sand more than one meter deep by the sandstorm. In the middle of the battle, Ao Kong took a lot of effort to get the two of them back to the ground.
Looking up, all the landscapes have changed, there is a piece of red sand everywhere, and there is no one.After Anli came out, he was stunned by the situation in front of him. Ao Kong patted Anli's back and comforted him: "Don't worry, everyone may be just like us, just temporarily buried in the sand."
Ao Kong and Anli searched while walking, and soon they saw people from the caravan nearby one after another, Zhan Dai and An Mastiff were also safe and sound, but Lang Yi was nowhere to be seen.
The more An Li searched, the more frightened he became. As time went by, his face turned pale, and his hands began to tremble unknowingly. Ao Kong held An Li's hand, just about to say something to comfort him.
Suddenly the sand dunes in front exploded, revealing a figure. As soon as An Li saw Lang Yi's iconic red hair, he broke free from Ao Kong's hand, ran over, and hugged Lang Yi who was patting the sand on his body. ecstatic.
"Great, you're fine..., I'm scared to death, it's great..." An Li's tense mood suddenly relaxed, and he hugged Lang Yi happily and talked incoherently.Lang Yi hugged An Li tightly with his backhand, and watched his joyful appearance with a smile without saying a word.
Ao Kong looked at the two people embracing each other tightly in front of him, and then looked back at the hand that An Li had thrown away, and he was stunned for a while before he clenched his fist and left.
After everyone gathered, they counted the number of people. Only one member of the caravan was swept away by the sandstorm. They disappeared, but everyone else was safe, but a lot of goods were taken away, and most of the supplies of Langyi and the others were also taken away. Let's go, fortunately some important items of Zhandai are not missing.
After such an experience, there was little food and water left, and everyone was depressed.Darichi looked at the sky and speculated: "This may be just the prelude to a big sandstorm in the desert. A really violent sandstorm may strike again at any time. Let's find a place to hide."
With sandstorms altering the landscape, everyone is now completely disoriented and must reorient.Darichi took out a bamboo pole and stood it on the sandy ground to judge the direction immediately. Generally speaking, in the morning, when the sun rises from the east, the shadows of all objects fall to the west. At noon, when the sun is in the south, the shadows point to the north. In the afternoon, the sun is due west, and the shadow is due east.This method can only be roughly judged, not very precise.
Zhan Dai was worried about Darichi's method of judging the direction, so he took out the magnetic tortoise to determine the direction.When the magnetic turtle was taken out, Lang Yi vigilantly caught the flash of greed in Da Richi's eyes.Indeed, for long-term businessmen, magnetic turtles are undoubtedly treasures and priceless.
Darichi suddenly said that he remembered that there was a Gobi nearby, and he could go there temporarily to escape the sandstorm.Although Lang Yi became suspicious of Dari Chi, after all, he did not do anything out of the ordinary, not to mention that the magnetic tortoise did attract businessmen. Nodded and agreed to go to the Gobi.
After Zhan Dai determined the correct direction with the magnetic tortoise, everyone set off. Having experienced a terrible sandstorm, needless to say, everyone tried to speed up their pace. After more than an hour, the mottled Gobi appeared in front of them.
Because it is located in the tuyere, the four seasons of strong winds, the wind has given this Gobi a devil's "shape". For millions of years, the ground has formed gullies of different depths, and the exposed stone layers have been carved into strange shapes by the strong wind: some grinning. , ferocious and ferocious, like monsters;On the undulating ground, there are stones of various colors such as blue, white, orange, grass green, etc., just like a rainbow road, adding a little bit of mystery.
Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the ingenious workmanship of nature, and An Li loved all kinds of stones so much that he picked a few and put them in his hands to play with.Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Darichi could not help anxiously urging everyone to enter the Gobi.
The author has something to say: Since writing this article, I have been fishing for codewords at work every day, and codewords at home after get off work. I have nothing to do when I stay in front of the computer.I am actually a very lazy person, but here, I am diligently digging and filling the soil. I hope you can communicate with me more after reading it. I want to know how you feel after watching it, so that you can adjust your thinking.

22. Introducing people into the urn and being swallowed...
There are towering strange rocks in the Gobi, like a labyrinth. Darichi led the caravan and Lang Yi and others went around inside. Ga Er, who was walking at the end of the caravan, suddenly gave Lang Yi a small bottle while no one was paying attention. When Lang Yi was about to ask, he saw him slipping back into the middle of the caravan, watching as he walked nonchalantly.
Lang Yi sensed something was wrong, and was about to tell the others to be more vigilant, when the caravan in front suddenly accelerated through a depression surrounded by strange rocks, flashed into the pile of strange rocks, and disappeared all of a sudden.
Langyi and the others stopped and looked at the depression vigilantly. At this time, the moon had risen. Under the dim moonlight, the surroundings were tense, and the shadows cast by the strange rocks stretched their teeth and claws. The middle of the depression was covered with gray boulders the size of a wooden basin. , the arrow-like airflow shuttles and swirls among the strange rocks, making a sharp and strange sound. This situation makes people feel hairy.
Suddenly something was thrown from the pile of strange rocks, and the purple smoke that fell on the ground spread out, emitting a pungent fishy smell. Lang Yi and the others hurriedly covered their mouths and noses and stepped back. At this moment, those gray round stones suddenly moved He got up, stretched out his slender and long legs from below, supported a boulder with eight legs, and quickly approached Lang Yi and the others.
Oh my god, the whole depression turned out to be the nest of giant stone spiders. Seeing the densely packed giant spiders approaching quickly, An Li swallowed involuntarily, her whole body went numb to the top of her head.
"Ah~~~~~~~, spider~~~~~~~~, spider~~~~~~~" Zhan Dai's frantic cry resounded through the Gobi, attracting the giant stone spider to crawl over more quickly.
"Shut up." Ao Kong kicked away a few giant stone spiders that were trying to get closer with one kick. He frowned and looked at the giant stone spider that was kicked into the air. He leaned back and twitched while waving eight long legs in the air. Really nasty creatures.
Lang Yi, Ao Kong and Yan Mastiff surrounded An Li and Zhan Dai to block the giant stone spiders attacking from all directions.Regardless of the slender legs of the giant stone spider, they are full of strength. When they are strong, they can penetrate rocks. You must avoid the frontal puncture of the long legs, and beware of the spider silk that shoots out from time to time. It is very sticky. Difficult to get out.An Li stretched out the retractable spear, held it in his hand, and resisted the giant stone spider attacking from the gap, while Zhan Dai was completely paralyzed, his arachnophobia broke out, and his low combat power immediately dropped to a negative level.
Four people and one beast were surrounded by densely packed boulder spiders. The endless attacks made it difficult to resist. Facing more and more boulder spiders pouring in like a tide, there would always be a moment of exhaustion. If you try to break out, you will be trapped by the spider silk, and it will be difficult to escape.
The forelegs of the mastiff were accidentally bound and glued by the spider silk. It angrily tried to rub off the spider silk, but the stickiness became tighter and tighter.Several boulder spiders exerted their strength together, dragging the mastiff to the ground and gnawed on the mud. Taking advantage of its inconvenient movement, several boulder spiders spun silk and shot over, almost instantly smashing half of the mastiff. The whole body is wrapped.
Seeing that something was wrong, Lang Yi immediately took a step forward and cut off the spider thread that dragged the mastiff. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by a giant stone spider on the left back, and its sharp long legs cut through Lang Yi's chest, pulling out a long stream of blood mouth.Lang Yi suddenly felt that his blood seemed to stop flowing slowly, his movements became sluggish, he staggered and fell to the ground, unable to get up again, and felt his body gradually stiffen like petrification.
Ao Kong will be the only one left with fighting strength, he loses sight of the other, but the strange thing is that these giant stone spiders did not take the opportunity to step up their attack, but rather flinched.
"Lang Yi, what's the smell on your body?" At this moment, Zhan Dai came back to his senses, and smelled a strange musky smell emanating from Lang Yi's body, which made the giant stone spiders very afraid.
"Fragrance?" Lang Yi lowered his head and sniffed his chest. There was indeed a musk mixed with the smell of blood coming out. It turned out that the vial that Galsa gave him just now was also pierced by the giant spider's foot, and some reddish-brown Powder spilled out.
Zhan Dai dipped a little powder with his fingers, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it carefully, and said uncertainly: "This seems to be the corpse powder of the firetail lizard. The firetail lizard is the natural enemy of the giant stone spider. It should be able to resist if applied on the body. But these servings are too small, only enough for one person.”
The smell of musk was blown by the wind, and it faded a little, and these giant stone spiders were a little ready to move.Zhan Dai tried several insect repellent powders he carried, but found that none of them had obvious effects on giant stone spiders.Just when everyone was at a loss and was about to be overwhelmed by the giant stone spiders, this group of giant stone spiders that rushed over like a tide also rushed over like a tide.
