Chapter Three Three Nine: Under the Desert

The desert is a river in another sense. It bears everything with her soft body. Desert and rivers are places for nurturing life, but those lives are hidden under the yellow sand that is beyond reach.

Marshall used his feet to experience the hot yellow sand, and her temples had already oozed with hot sweat. In just a moment, they actually came from the warm and comfortable auditorium to the endless desert. They were about to survive here for a month, and they only had food to support them for three days.

If someone in the team could use water-attribute magic, it would save them the effort of finding water sources. Unfortunately, there was no juice in this golden rose. No one would create a drop of water through their magic.

Chiberin next to Marshall took out a yellow cloth robe from his bag, covered it with his head, turned his head and frowned, "It's really hot here. At first glance, there's no shade. If we don't go a little further, we will definitely leave early because of dehydration."

Minia finally realized the benefits of the mallet - it was not too hot to hold it: "It's so tormenting. Fortunately, everyone has a robe in their backpack."

Speaking in the scorching desert is just a boring thing. The team needs to find a bunker to hide from the sun. Chibelin was temporarily elected as the captain of the Knights, and Marshall served as the deputy captain. Everyone has a compass in their backpack that can point them in direction. With sufficient food, they still have the energy to explore.

The strong wind in the desert was hot, and the sweat oozing from the pores was instantly dried, and the rough sand stuck to the skin, like a needle tip to prick on the skin. Dunes one after another, in the strong wind, Qiberin took out a rope and connected the team into a line to avoid getting distracted.

"Look, there is a hill!" As soon as Alice saw a mountain appearing on the border of her vision, she was immediately overjoyed.

Chibelin persuaded Alice to give up the idea of ​​going there immediately: "It's too far, and you might not be able to get there for four or five days... I now know what the test wants us to do. We need to find a place to live during the day and hike at night. This kind of weather will obviously dry us during the day, which is a serious consumption of food and water."

"Yes..." Marshall was alert to whether there were wild animals under the yellow sand. The golden roses on his waist became bare and the golden petals were hidden in the yellow sand. Once there was any abnormal situation, they could at least have some care.

"Because it's too hot now, most of the wild beasts come out to find food at night." Yuri shook her body in fear, her clothes tightly against her flesh. "I can't take a shower now, but in just a few minutes, she has sweated so much..."

It's still morning, and the roulette-large sun is still swinging in the air. From noon, the wind gradually becomes smaller, and it's even harder for everyone to endure it. After all, you can still use magic. Fortunately, Yuri is good at some wind-attribute magic. The wind and wood are in harmony, and they barely transform a few huge green leaves from their hands and insert them on the ground. In this way, at least a few places to enjoy the cool air.

The team quickly swallowed the dry food in their mouths with the rapidly drying green shade. After they finished, they stood up and looked at the green leaves that Yuri had turned gray. What's more important is that something seemed to be attracted by the green leaves.

"Ah!!!" Yuri screamed, because the sand under her butt was rustling. Before she could react, a scorpion with a fist jumped into the air, and a sharp poisonous light flashed from her tail, and he stabbed her indescribably!

"Be careful!" Marshall grabbed the magic sword and stepped to Yuri's side in three or two steps. The golden light flashed, and the deep black poisonous scorpion was immediately penetrated by the thin sword. Yuri fell to the ground with a click, ate the sand, and saw Marshall throw away the poisonous scorpion that was strung into strings, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"They may have been attracted by the leaves that Yuri has created," said Chibelin, "because there is water in the leaves."

"Well... I could have been as decisive as Marshall." Yuri stood up with remorse. "It would be better to hold a gun at all times. If something pops out of the sand... it wouldn't be as embarrassing as it is now."

Minia said, "It's not your fault. Let's go, if other teams find it, there will inevitably be a conflict. Wait, Marshall, this scorpion seems to have fallen out of something." She immediately squatted down and turned out a shiny gem from under the motionless scorpion. After wiping off the green body fluid, she found that the gem had a shiny word "one".

"Please keep it, let's go first, it will likely be useful at that time." Marshall's proposal was unanimously agreed.

As we walked and stopped along the way, the sun gradually fell, and the things we encountered along the way were limited to various insects curled up under the sand. Perhaps at night, some big guys would vaguely wake up. They found various gems inside the insects without exception, and numbers ranging from one to five were also engraved on them. One got the most, and five got the least.

"It feels terrible to be familiar with these bugs..." Ilia raised her eyebrows and said, "I hate bugs!"

"Maybe you will have to eat bugs later..." Marshall joked halfway, "those who don't eat at that time will probably have to eat these things."

"No - I want it!" Ilia had nowhere to scatter, so she had to use her big sword as a shovel, constantly stirring the gravel under her feet in the setting sun. This was awesome, and twenty or shiny scorpions suddenly jumped out.

Although these scorpions eventually became the dead souls under Marshall's sword, this inevitably caused serious psychological trauma to Ilia. Chibelin had to command the team to march north while sootheing Ilia's tender heart. Marshall looked at the gems full of hands, and she firmly believed that these gems would have any effect.

The weather finally cooled down, and the vicious sun gradually fell into the dry horizon. In the eyes of all the girls, the sun seemed to be a troublemaker who could only pull with a million carriages. Otherwise, why would it go so slowly? The stars in the sky were about to be the main force of the sky, and the cool wind rushed from all directions, and the fatigue of the day was finally washed to a certain extent.

But the girls were not familiar with the coolness of the night, and the ground around them began to rumble and shake! Countless insects rushed out of the sand. They did not mean to attack the girls, but were running for their lives. The squeaking sound kept making noises, and the ground was covered with blackness. This small black cloud flew quickly to the distance and soon disappeared.

"What happened again? It's so disgusting!" Yuri took out the magic gun in his hand and shot hard at the big scorpions and centipedes around him, saying.

"Look..." Alice pointed to the rising rock walls and mountains in front of them in surprise. The sand under their feet was quickly becoming hard, and dead grass quickly drilled out of the gaps in the stones. "The terrain has changed..."

Marshall became alert and asked Erin if there was anything strange about it. Erin's reply was amazing: this space is actually false, and it is not actually surprising that the terrain is manipulated by people.

"Fake it?" Marshall squatted down and twisted the gravel on the ground hard, "but this looks too real!"

"It seems that there are too many real things," said Erin. "You have to be careful, the dangers of the night are even greater than during the day."

Everyone was also quite tired today. They chose a rock wall that could block the wind and stationed it. Alice and Minia picked up some dead branches everywhere and set up a fire with the flints they carried with them. It was obvious that the day was so hot, but it was very cold all of a sudden at night.

Marshall specially picked up some scorpions that were killed during the day, trying to see what the roasted scorpions tasted. She had seen others selling roasted cockroach skewers in [Land of Desire]. The smell of roasted scorpions was indescribable. The word "dirty" was too simple, sour and sticky, and had a little smell. Chibelin also tasted a small bite, but it wasn't so fumigated that it almost spit out. This was a rare moment for everyone to be happy. In fact, after getting familiar with it, this kind of life was not particularly difficult - the food and water were sufficient.

"There seems to be words on these rock walls." Yuri stroked the rock wall and looked at the content on it carefully. "'Just press this button, you can exchange plunder for survival necessities', which is almost the same."

In other words, the gems they obtained during the day are not useless at all.
