Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh: Annaba and the wolf
"call......"
The cold wind mixed with the wind and sand blew on the girl's face. Hao Meng, who had rested all night, stood up from the dry sand and put the helmet on her head with a tired look.
"...."
This is Annaba. According to the description of the dream game, this was once a vibrant area, but now only the yellow sand and annoying bugs remain.
Hao Meng herself is not very clear about how she got here. According to the system, she was accidentally affected by the turbulence of time and space in that fog, and came to the future fifty years later.
The princess of the kingdom was quietly sleeping in the spring of the holy tree. Unfortunately, the two girls were frozen by the violent water elements in the depths of Fan Lingshui Lake.
Hao Meng had never heard of the difficulty rising in the middle of the dream, but she had never heard of the level of difficulty rising from white to blue. Fortunately, the system said it was just a bug. Even if the dream failed this time, she had never heard of it.
It won't be affected at all.
"rustle......"
Walking on the dry sand, the unchanging golden color is in front of her. This is the scenery Hao Meng has seen the most in these days. Sometimes, she even feels that the scenery in front of her is very familiar, as if she has gone around in a circle, and then again.
Back to the same position as at the beginning.
This is actually possible. Hao Meng knows that when people walk in a straight line, if there is no reference object, they will easily spin around.
But she actually pays attention to the direction in which the sun rises. In addition, she also pays attention to the direction of sunset and the stars at night. These can serve as signposts for her to move forward in the desert.
A dried up dead tree appeared in Hao Meng's sight. This was probably a tree that grew before Annaba became a desert. Just by looking at its withered body, you can roughly guess how big this dead tree once was.
It was lush, but now only dead tree trunks are left standing in the desert.
Maybe it won't be long before this dead tree disappears with only its trunk left, but before that, it may still be able to do something for Hao Meng.
Arriving in front of the dead tree, Hao Meng took out his long sword and cut off the relatively heavy part of the trunk of the dead tree.
The temperature in Annaba is actually not that high. The main reason for desertification is the influence of the earth element. Of course, in a place where there is sand everywhere, the temperature that is not very high will become unbearable.
.
This place is like a huge oven. The sand stores the heat of the sun and releases it quickly, making Hao Meng miserable when walking here.
She has been walking in this desert for a week, and her only food is the giant bugs that occasionally emerge from the sand, and the fishy-smelling liquid extracted from the other party's body.
Hao Meng just stored the liquid and did not drink it. With her physical fitness there, she could survive even if she didn't drink water for a week. As for the insect meat...
The taste is dry and difficult to chew, with no oil or water at all, and it is as dry as chewing paper. In addition, there is a bitter taste that cannot be removed no matter how hard you try.
"call......"
"It shouldn't take long to get out." Hao Meng carried the firewood she collected on her back and continued walking in the direction of the rising sun. She encountered more and more dead trees, which showed that she was gradually
It is close to an area where desertification is relatively late. If she is lucky, she may be able to leave the desert tomorrow.
"Hah!"
A huge bug emerged from the sand, opened its mouth and bit Hao Meng's waist. This is the most common bug in the desert. It is very long and is good at making big holes in the desert. It looks disgusting.
I like sneak attacks.
This is why Hao Meng still wears armor in the desert. These bugs are very concealable. They usually keep their bodies still in the sand during the day, making it difficult to detect them.
"Bang!"
Hao Meng raised his right fist and hit the insect's jawbone hard. Under the violent impact of the metal gauntlet, the insect that sneaked up on Hao Meng was instantly knocked to the ground.
She had fought with these bugs many times, so she knew very well where their weaknesses were. After knocking the bug to the ground, Hao Meng quickly pulled out her long sword and chopped off the bug's head with one strike.
Come down.
Hao Meng did not dispose of the other party's body, but turned around and continued walking in the direction of the rising sun. She already carried enough food, and she couldn't take more if she wanted to.
...
At night, Hao Meng, who had been walking in the desert for a day, slowly stopped and started repairing on a dry stone ground.
She stacked the collected firewood on the ground, and then took out a pair of flints.
[Prop name: Fu Duijia Club Fire Stone]
[Props quality: white]
[Introduction: The flint and steel from Fu Duijia Club, a club keen on adventure, exploration, and survival in the wild. It is said that this pair of flint and steel was once the personal prop of the club’s founder, Debei Tungsten, and has 100% ignition properties.
.]
[Skill: Ignition]
[Ignition: The sparks generated by the collision will 100% ignite wooden objects, regardless of whether your operation is correct or not. 】
[Remarks: Fu Duijia Club, the best wilderness exploration club in the world.]
"嚓......"
Light red sparks slowly fell on the branches of the dead trees. The next moment, a faint flame rose from the bonfire and became more and more powerful.
Sand absorbs heat quickly and dissipates heat quickly. After dark, people walking in the desert can only enjoy a moment of comfort, and then the endless cold will dissipate.
Of course, this kind of temperature is nothing to Hao Meng. The main reason why she lit the bonfire was to roast the collected insect meat.
It is impossible to eat it raw. What if you have diarrhea? There may be parasites in it.
With this in mind, Hao Meng used a long sword to skewer the insect meat and put it on the fire.
"Crackling..."
The bonfire burned with a crisp sound, and Hao Meng quietly looked at the insect meat placed on the bonfire, feeling worried about the safety of his other companions.
Lu Qing seems to be sleeping in the spring of the Holy Tree, while Muir and Fang Qingrou are frozen in Fan Lingshui Lake. Isn't she the only one still moving freely?
"I will definitely save you!" Hao Meng took off his helmet and said, revealing his blond hair.
"Ouch!!"
Suddenly, a loud howl of a wolf pierced the air, and Hao Meng was shaken. He stood up without even caring about the barbecue, and looked in the direction where the howling sound came from in the distance.
There were only bugs in the Annaba Desert, and it was impossible for wolves to appear, and now she heard the sound of wolves howling, which meant...
She is not far away from leaving the desert!
With this thought in mind, Hao Meng put out the bonfire and ran with all his strength in the direction where the howling of wolves came from in the distance.
After a while, a huge wolf with dark black hair appeared in her sight.
That was the overlord of the night and the forest, the ghost wolf Kalis. He was staring at the land in the distance. It was once the plain where wolves lived. Thousands of wolves hunted in the grasslands there. But now, except for the dry sand,
, there are only dirty bugs left there.
Suddenly, he noticed something and looked towards the little human in the distance...
