Chapter 384 From the bright moon in the desert, where is the camel bell?(1/2)
Jiang Yao rushed over and saw that half of the man's body had sunk into the yellow sand, and he looked familiar.
The man was not willing to be buried in the yellow sand. He struggled to get up, revealing a thin and shapeless face, but this face was still very familiar.
Qin Yu!
"Zhongda! Save me!" When Qin Yu saw Jiang Yao, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his tired and desperate face.
Qin Yu never expected that after being trapped in the Wujian Desert for several months, he met Jiang Yao out of despair.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Was he destined to save Qin Yu in history?
"Brother Qin, why are you here?" Jiang Yao also unexpectedly found Qin Yu instead of Yu Kuan.
Originally, he had no good impression of the scheming and ambitious Qin Yu, but since he and Li Xi accidentally went to the next life, his feelings towards Qin Yu have changed.
Although this person is sinister and ruthless, he has a bottom line in doing things and adheres to his general principles firmly, so he is not considered a real evil person.
Jiang Yao looked at Qin Yu, who was completely different from before, and felt a little emotional...
Haha, Brother Qin, do you know that I am the one who buried you?
But it’s me who saved you today.
Jiang Yao stepped forward and pulled Qin Yu up from the sand, who was already very thin. "Brother Qin, you..."
Qin Yu shook his head and pointed at Jiang Yao's water bag.
Jiang Yao took out the water bag and gave it to him. She originally thought that Qin Yu would drink it happily, but he only took two small sips, then carefully sealed his mouth and stopped drinking.
I cherish water very much.
After drinking two sips of water, Qin Yu's face looked better, and then he weakly asked: "Zhongda, are you here to die?"
"Brother Qin, what do you mean? Why are you here to die?" Jiang Yao patted his shoulder affectionately, helped him sit on the hot yellow sand, and gave him another piece of steamed bun.
He has been active in the Witch Realm for nearly a year and knows very little about the affairs of the Divine Continent.
Qin Yu gasped and said, "You don't know? A few months ago, the breath of Huoyuanzhu appeared in Wujian Desert, and it was sensed by the strong men on the voyage spacecraft."
"So, the news about the Fire Pearl in Wujian Desert spread like wildfire, and everyone knew about it. Some people also saw a fire phoenix, and it was rumored that it was a strange appearance transformed by the Fire Pearl."
"So, all the brave people came to look for it. In the past few months, many powerful people have come in. But this depth turns out to be a place of forbidden laws. No matter how high your cultivation level is, it won't help..."
Jiang Yao understood, he shook his head and said, "I'm not here to look for the Huo Yuan Pearl, I'm here to look for Yu Yan. Have you found Yu Yan?"
"Kan Lazi?" Qin Yu sneered, "How could Yu Kan let go of such big news and something like Huo Yuanzhu? She was the first person to come in."
"I didn't find Yan Lazi. She came in earlier. If she didn't leave, she must have met with misfortune."
Speaking of "encountering" misfortune, Qin Yu showed a look of gloating on his face.
Jiang Yao was not surprised. This deep desert was a hundred thousand miles in size, and the vast sea, the probability of Qin Yu meeting Yu Kuan was really very small.
He also didn't expect that Yu Kuan would come here to look for the Fire Origin Pearl.
But Yu Kuan told him before that she came to the desert to find the sacred herb medicine tablet for herself to help her overcome the disaster.
Perhaps, she was helping her find the Medicine Path Monument, or looking for the Fire Origin Pearl?
Thinking of Huoyuanzhu, Jiang Yao fell into reverie.
The Mu Yuan Pearl is at his place, the Earth Yuan Pearl must be at Pankang's place, and the Water Yuan Pearl, from what Ni Ni said, should be in the hands of Jiang Zhengyi.
Then, only the Fire Yuanzhu and Jin Yuanzhu are left, which is still uncertain.
And Yu Kuan went into the depths of the desert to find the Huoyuan Pearl and the Medicine Stele. Is it possible that the Huoyuan Pearl has fallen into her hands?
Huo Yuanzhu already has clues, but where is the final Jin Yuanzhu?
Jiang Yao doesn't care about the whereabouts and gains and losses of Huo Yuanzhu, he cares about Yu Kuan's safety.
Qin Yu finished eating a steamed bun and felt much better. He said with great aftertaste: "It's delicious. I haven't eaten ordinary food in decades. It's so delicious."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I had known that this was a forbidden land, I would not have come here even if there was a Fire Pearl. I estimate that most of the people who ventured in would have died."
He lowered his voice, gritted his teeth, and spoke sarcastically with his eyes: "Still like mortals, starving to death or thirsting to death. Haha, hahaha!"
He laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. Thinking back on the suffering of the past few months, he almost wanted to go crazy.
If he wasn't extraordinary and capable, how could he have persisted for three months? He would have been buried in the sand long ago.
It is difficult for people with advanced cultivation to really die of hunger and thirst, but this desert is different. The rules here are too unkind to the monks. It is worthy of being one of the most dangerous places in the True Domain.
Jiang Yao's heart froze, "Is there really no way to get out?"
Actively activating the Pisces Jade Pendant also requires mana. In this forbidden land, he has no way to actively activate the Jade Pendant.
Qin Yu went to the ground and said, "There is no way. In the past few months, I have met several people buried in the yellow sand, even saint-level experts. They died of thirst and starvation. This desert is called Wujian, and sure enough,
It’s just endless.”
He pointed to the water bag and dry food on Jiang Yao's body, "Although you saved me today, you can only save me for a while. I will die sooner or later, and so will you. How long can you hold on?"
"How far can you go from a place like this? Ten thousand miles, thirty thousand miles? Fifty thousand miles? Even if you can, you still can't get out. Sooner or later you will die."
Jiang Yao did the math. He was a strong body refiner, and his physical strength and toughness far exceeded that of ordinary people. Even if his physical strength cultivation was banned, he could still walk three to five hundred miles in a desert with such a harsh environment.
But so what? Even if he walked hundreds of miles every day, it might take him a year to get out of this forbidden place.
Where does he have so much water and food?
One year... long dead.
"Save some food and drink." Qin Yu glanced at Jiang Yao's food and water, "You can drink some water and eat something every three days, and you can last for about three months."
"It's definitely not possible without drinking water. This desert is too hot."
Jiang Yao believed Qin Yu's words. In this desert environment, ordinary people could not persist for even half a quarter of an hour. Qin Yu could persist for several months, and he had already lived up to his reputation as a strong practitioner.
"Can you still leave?" Jiang Yao asked.
Qin Yu said: "If you can give me another steamed bun, I can. I have been without food for a month."
Jiang Yao had no choice but to take out another steamed bun, and Qin Yu immediately took it and ate it carefully.
Afterwards, Qin Yu stood up tremblingly and took out a dead man's leg bone from the sand.
"I'm not strong enough, I need a crutch." Qin Yu leaned on his leg bone, "This must be the thigh bone of a strong man, it's very tough."
Obviously, he was leaning on this thigh bone before. However, the owner of this thigh bone must have been dead for many years and was not the person who came in this time.
Jiang Yao glanced at the bones in Qin Yu's hands and found that the leg bone could not only be used as a walking stick, but also as a weapon.
"We can't walk without direction. But the direction rules here are all messed up. You think the direction is right, but in fact it has always been wrong." Qin Yu said.
"After three months of research, I discovered a pattern. If we want to go in one direction, we must take the Yu step. Taking the Yu step requires more energy, but it can indeed maintain the direction."
When Jiang Yao heard this, he felt a little relieved. Qin Yu's discovery was very important. If he could keep his direction and not be disturbed by the chaotic direction rules, then the possibility of survival would be greatly improved.
"Okay, then let's take Yubu. Brother Qin, have you found the best direction in the past three months?"
Qin Yu replied: "I thought about it for a long time and felt that it is best to go north. Because the north of Wujian Desert is the Tianhuang River. The Tianhuang River is water, and Wujian Desert is fire, and water can overcome fire."
"The closer we get to the north, the looser the rules of the Forbidden Land should be. If we can find a place where we can use a little mana, we will be more confident of surviving."
He looked at Jiang Yao's expression and seemed to know Jiang Yao's thoughts, and continued: "I advise you not to look for Yu Kuan again, because with her ability, if she is not dead, she will probably go north."
Jiang Yao shook his head, "The most likely possibility is that Yu Kuan is heading south, not to the north. Because I heard that there is a large volcano in the deepest part of the Wujian Desert. This large volcano should be to the south of us."
"Yu Kuan is looking for the Fire Origin Pearl. I know her character. Moreover, the exercises she practices are mainly fire-based exercises."
Qin Yu nodded and said: "What you said is not wrong. Yu Kuan does focus on practicing fire-based exercises. She has manifested the fire phoenix form more than once. But what you said is not wrong either."
Jiang Yao wrinkled and said: "Why?"
Qin Yu smiled and said: "Because the big volcano you mentioned is not to our south, but to our north."
Jiang Yao didn't quite believe it, "Brother Qin, are you really sure?"
Qin Yu leaned on the bone cane and looked north in the distance, "I came in three months before you, so I had a narrow escape from death. If I can't even figure this out, then am I still the Taoist disciple of Yaogong and the holy son of the divine sect?"
"Although I have lost my position as Taoist Son and Holy Son, to put it bluntly, I am by no means an incompetent person. I am sure that the big volcano is to the north."
"I also calculated that our location is south of the center of Wujian Desert. If we walk about ten thousand miles to the north, we may be able to see a large volcano. Only by bypassing the large volcano and continuing north can we enter the center."
Jiang Yao thought for a while, "Okay, then let's go north and see the volcano first."
He decided to continue looking for Yu Kuan. He guessed that Yu Kuan had probably been to the location of the big volcano.
At that moment, the two of them started walking.
Yubu is very mysterious. Although it is difficult to walk and requires more energy and mental calculations, it can indeed avoid the interference of directional rules.
A day later, the two of them walked hundreds of miles. Jiang Yao had already adapted to the poisonous and hot wind and sand, and was no longer sweating as much as before.
But Qin Yu's vitality had been weakened in the past three months, and it was very difficult for him to walk.
"No, I need to rest for a while." Qin Yu's emaciated body fell down directly, "Zhongda, why don't you go by yourself, I can't go out at this speed."
Jiang Yao knelt down and said, "Brother Qin, don't give up. You are the former Yaogong Daozi, the Holy Son of the Divine Sect, and you are almost the number one young master in the Divine Continent. You cannot die here."
Qin Yu sighed: "I have seen more than one saint-level strongman die here, and I have seen dozens of martial immortal strongmen. Even if they die here, it is not unacceptable."
Jiang Yaodao: "If you really want to give up on your own, then I can't control you. I can't carry you, right?"
