Lying in the tent, Su Bai put his hands under his head. The desert night was eerily silent. Su Bai tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Yue Qing beside him gave him a tug: "I've been struggling all day and almost lost my life. You
Why don’t you take a good rest?”
"I'm thinking about how to find an oasis." Suba said, "The desert is so big, and we only have a compass now."
"Want to help Ying Ning get rid of the evil spirit in her body quickly?" Yue Qing said: "This is a desert, we must be steady, not too fast."
"I'm worried that Qu Yan will have an attack one day." Su Bai lowered his voice: "Do you feel safe? The Tongxin Sword on his body has not been detoxified yet. If he is stimulated, he may have another attack. He will not recognize his relatives. When the time comes,
Yingning can't stop him either. I think the most important thing now is to find that fiery red grass and detoxify him first, otherwise..."
Bai Moxuan's voice rang out: "You are right, but the situation in the desert is mysterious. It is not impossible for eight people to be divided into two groups, but the danger is greatly increased. Tomorrow, we will look for the oasis and the corpse under the desert. A two-pronged approach.
That’s it.”
With Bai Moxuan's conclusion, Su Bai felt much more at ease, and finally fell asleep in a daze. Early the next morning, Bai Moxuan repositioned himself, and after finding the right directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest, Su Bai had the previous idea.
After thinking about it late, I now have my own conclusion: "To find an oasis, you must look where the mountains are."
"How do you say this?" Yue Qing asked curiously.
When Su Bai was about to speak, Qu Yan calmly took over the topic: "The reason why there are oases in the desert is groundwater. There are high mountains near the desert, and there are thick ice and snow on the high mountains. The snow water passes through the gaps in the valleys and flows to
The low valleys of the desert are hidden between the underground sand and clay layers, forming underground rivers. This is how oases exist. If we want to find oases, we can study the locations of the mountains and desert valleys to find the direction."
"Brother Yan, you are so powerful." Yingning's eyes widened in surprise: "So you still know this."
"Don't forget, I am also a disciple of Mensa." Qu Yan smiled slightly: "IQ is 180, just like the big man. I am also a member of the Skull and Bones Society."
"You're not the one who called us Big Man." Suba became a little more enthusiastic: "Then, according to you, where should we go now? Give us a general direction."
This guy, Mensa Disciples, Skull and Bones, is amazing, I’ll go.
"According to the compass, the nearest snow mountain is in the southwest." Qu Yan said: "But unfortunately, the desert on that side is not low, and it is difficult for snow water to penetrate into the ground. Therefore, we need to think about the other side.
Shift the direction to the southeast, which is further away, but the terrain is always lower, and there are also snow-capped mountains, which is in line with our goal of finding an oasis."
Su Bai was reluctant, but Qu Yan was right. He shrugged: "Yes, it's the southeast direction."
The gopher saw something fishy. There was a spark of calcium carbide between the two guys, and the aura was wrong. He touched his mustache and pulled Suba aside: "What is the relationship between this guy and you?"
"What's the relationship?" Suba said displeasedly: "I don't mind comparing myself to him. What's so great about having an IQ of 180? I've had it for twenty years."
"Oh, it sure isn't right, love rival?" Gopher snapped his fingers: "Do you want my help?"
"Go, go, go, nothing formal. Is now the time to discuss this?" Su Bai looked at the others who were busy cleaning up, and hurried to the tent: "Work more, talk less."
Gopher touched his mustache: "Ahem, that's right. You must perform well at this time and not fall behind others."
Su Bai, who was caught by the gopher's thoughts, went over with a red face and was much more diligent than usual. His hands were moving, but his eyes were fixed on Ying Ning's movements. Ying Ning had been quietly packing things in the tent. She
She just got in and out from there, moving in an orderly manner. It's strange that this girl seems to have matured a lot now, and is much less immature than before, but her innocence is still the same.
After packing their things, the two cars headed southeast one after another. The road was filled with yellow sand, and the sun shone on the vast desert. The sand reflected dazzling light like gold. From time to time, some green colors passed by. Those were dragons.
The leaves of the blood tree are colorful, bright and beautiful. When the dragon's blood tree appears more and more frequently, everyone's mood becomes more and more exciting. The more green appears, doesn't it mean the more water is available? Finding an oasis is just a matter of moments.
.
When the alluring oasis appeared in front of them, everyone took a deep breath, and Su Bai licked his lips excitedly: "Finally found it."
The oasis is the most wonderful existence in the desert. They traveled a long distance just for this touch of green before their eyes. Subai and Yingning ran towards the oasis first. When they got closer, they stopped and said, "Huh?"
The oasis that had clearly appeared in front of us just now turned into yellow sand in an instant, leaving no trace! It just disappeared out of thin air!
"Is it a mirage?" Subai was filled with frustration. He sat down on the ground and smashed his fists at the sand beside him in frustration: "Asshole!"
"Big man, don't be anxious." Yingning comforted softly: "We still have a chance, it's still early."
Looking at Ying Ning's clear eyes, Su Bai was about to smile when he felt the sand on the ground shaking. Qu Yan and Bai Moxuan behind him pounced on the two of them almost at the same time. They grabbed each other in a tacit understanding and quickly retreated!
Several sharp arrows shot over at high speed. Bai Moxuan pulled Su Bai's body to dodge here and there. One of the arrows almost grazed Su Bai's ear. If there was even a slight deviation, one of Su Bai's ears would be damaged.
It was cut off! While Su Bai broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't forget to look in the direction where the arrow flew out. The oasis that had disappeared just now actually reappeared!
Several black shadows shuttled through the green. These shadows were as elusive as the wind. Qu Yan protected Ying Ning behind him. His skill was something Su Bai had never seen before, but he also moved like the wind on the sand.
, Su Bai suddenly felt a little frustrated. Compared to Qu Yan, he was so weak hiding behind Bai Moxuan!
Although the arrow was fast, the Gopher's movements were faster. He suddenly bent down, pressed his body tightly against the sand, and moved forward quickly using only his elbows. By the time one of the shadows noticed the Gopher's movement, it was too late.
, the Gopher's body was like a marble that popped out after being stressed, and pressed the one closest to him to the ground. The crossbow in the opponent's hand fell to the ground, and the Gopher pressed the opponent's neck tightly: "You are
Who?"
It was too late, but soon, the man behind the shadow lowered his arm and pointed his bow at the gopher!
With a "swish", the flying knife in Bai Moxuan's hand was thrown out, hitting the man's wrist. The ground mouse took the opportunity to hold down the chest of the person he had subdued, and used the force to fly up and kick the person behind him.
On the ground, Yue Qing and Qu Yan took advantage of this moment to rush forward at the same time and pounce on the other two shadows. Unfortunately, those two people seemed to know how to burrow into the ground. Before they could get closer, they jumped down when they saw that the situation was not good.
, actually disappeared in an instant!
The oasis that just appeared also disappeared for the second time at this time. Suba quickly stepped forward, and the gopher suppressed the two of them. After a long time, it became too much. Su Bai went over and suppressed the guy who was kicked over by the gopher. The other guy was wearing
The cloak and the sand are the same color, like a chameleon, using the best color to hide their existence. They cover their faces tightly. Suber pulls off the other person's mask: "Let me see, what are you?"
people."
As soon as he pulled it off, Su Bai was stunned. The opponent had a high nose and thick eyebrows, which was very exotic. The most eye-catching thing was the flame-shaped mark on the opponent's forehead!
A total of two people were caught. When Qu Yan saw the marks on their foreheads, he couldn't help but gasped: "Who are you?"
The two men raised their eyes to look at Qu Yan, showing a sneer, and then lowered their heads. Qu Yan's heart moved, and he suddenly pulled off his clothes, turned around, and showed the birthmark on the back of his neck in front of the two of them: "You guys
Can you tell me now?"
The two people suddenly broke away, and then they lay down on the sand and bowed to Qu Yan. At this time, Qu Yan showed his overbearing aura: "You are indeed related to the Yuezhi Kingdom."
Yingning walked over cautiously: "Brother Yan, who are they?"
"Young Master, we have been waiting for you for a long time." The two people could actually speak Chinese. One of them raised his head and saw the amber color in Qu Yan's eyes, with a smile on his face: "We believe that there must be a Young Master.
You will get the feeling and come back here again, we are finally here."
Qu Yan's face was complicated. He shook his head, and then smiled bitterly: "The legend turns out to be true."
"What legend?" Yingning said, "Brother Yan, you never mentioned it."
"Before the Yuezhi Kingdom was overthrown, he took the initiative to lure quicksand into the palace, and the entire palace was destroyed. The reason why the Yuezhi King did this at that time was because there were ulterior secrets in the palace. Just letting it sink to the bottom of the sand would not make it go away.
King Yuezhi was relieved, so there was a guard guarding this secret, generation after generation, and then you appeared in front of me." Qu Yan stared at the two people who surrendered at his feet: "Of course, this is only mine.
guess."
The two men buried their heads even lower, and Qu Yan knew that he had guessed correctly. The two men were quite strict with their mouths. Seeing other people present, they remained silent. Qu Yan said, "The marks on your foreheads are not natural.
Of course, this is also what I guessed."
After Qu Yan finished speaking, he reached out and wiped the forehead of one of them. With a little force, the original shape of the flame immediately deformed. It was painted with the juice secreted by plants. Qu Yan stared at his fingers and suddenly laughed: "
It’s really stupid, why do we have such an arrangement?”
Qu Yan laughed and took a few steps back, with a ferocious look on his face. Ying Ning felt something strange in her heart. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Qu Yan's wrist: "Brother Yan, what's wrong? You're talking!"
