Volume 7 Golden Iron Horse Chapter 135 Travel Thousands of Miles in the Desert
Volume 7: Iron Horse Chapter 135: Walking Thousands of Miles in the Desert
Heavy snow is flying, falling mistly from the sky. Today's snow is particularly heavy, so heavy that it feels like someone has poked a big hole in the sky. It has been nearly a year since Ling Jie came to the island.
, I have never encountered such a powerful snowfall. There seemed to be no gaps between the vast snowflakes. It seemed that the entire world was connected by a huge snow mountain that blocked the sky and the sun.
According to Murong Qing's impression, a hundred people started crossing the black water on the spot, but only about eighty succeeded. The remaining twenty were either melted away by the black water because their movements were too uncoordinated, or they did not survive after sinking to the bottom of the water.
If you encounter an eddy and drown to death, or if you encounter a weak point of the eddy and fail to reach the other shore in a short period of time, you will end up being swept to an unknown corner of the water, and you will still die anyway.
Murong Qing was very satisfied with the 80% success rate. The rest of the things basically went according to what Murong Qing had expected. After crossing the black water, he started descending into the snow-capped mountains with an altitude of more than 4,000.
Behind the snow-capped mountains is a vast desert.
Ling Jie formed a group of more than 80 people and began to cross the desert. Unfortunately, they encountered two super sandstorms while crossing the desert. As a result, more than 40 people died.
In the end, there were about forty people left. Due to the lack of water and food, there were cases of cannibalism and many people died. On the seventh day, only about thirty people were left.
These thirty or so people were basically masters above the master level, and their speed and quality in traveling through time were much higher than before. Three more days passed, and on the tenth day, five more people died.
There are twenty-five people left. These twenty-five people continue to move forward in the desert. Their skills have basically reached the 20th level of the Grandmaster. Of course, there are also non-powerful sects like Chen Zhen, Chen Qiang, and Murong Qing. But there are Ling Jie
Exceptions to protection.
Time passed very slowly, and the conditions in the desert became worse and worse. After the tenth day, everyone truly entered the center of the thousand-mile desert, and the real devil's day really began.
"Ling Jie, where are we now?" At this time, Murong Qing, who was next to him, suddenly felt very tired and came over to ask.
Facing the thousands-mile desert, everyone still walked forward. Ling Jie saw that Murong Qing's lips were particularly dry, but there was not much water stored in the bag. Ling Jie took out the water bag directly from the bag at the back.
He handed it to Murong Qing and said, "Murong, drink some water. You haven't drank any water all morning. The sun is very strong here and the weather is dry."
Murong Qing held the water bag with a very hungry yearning in her eyes, but she bit her lip hard, licked her lower lip with a dry tongue, then looked away hard, with a smile on her face,
"Thank you, Brother Jiu, but I'm not thirsty."
Of course she knew that after entering the desert, the most precious thing was water, followed by food. In the past, many people would grab water from their companions just because there was no water. As a result, many lives were lost, and some people even lost their lives because they couldn't bear it.
Seriously injure your companions from behind due to hunger and thirst, then eat their flesh and drink their blood...
Among her companions, a demonic hand might reach behind her at some point. Murong Qing experienced very cruel scenes along the way, but what touched her most was that Ling Jie took great care of her from the beginning to the end.
She was very moved.
Every time Ling Jie always gave her more food. She didn't want Ling Jie to give it to him secretly, saying that she was not feeling well... One time Ling Jie kept his own lunch.
When Murong Qing was extremely hungry, Ling Jie gave her the dry food from lunch...
She knew that she had become a burden to Ling Jie. Ling Jie could have given up on herself and traveled lightly, which would have made his chances of leaving the desert many times greater. But she never gave up on herself, let alone Chen Zhen and Chen Qiang.
Ling Jie's lips were also very dry, but he was a master in his seventies after all. His health was much better than others, and his situation was more optimistic than the average person. He smiled at Murong Qing, "Drink it, that's it."
You'll go faster."
"But I don't want to drag you down anymore. You should let me fend for myself in this desert. I think this desert is particularly beautiful. It would be a good place for me to be buried. I am very satisfied." Murong Qing could not bear it anymore.
I couldn't help but say what I had been holding in my heart for a long time.
Ling Jie said, "If you really don't want to drag me down, drink the water quickly and speed up our progress so that we can leave this desert as soon as possible."
Ling Jie looked at Murong Qing devoutly and forced the water bag into Murong Qing's hand, but Murong Qing still refused, "No, Brother Ninth, I owe you too much, you'd better give up on me, I
I really don’t want to drag you down anymore.”
Ling Jie said, "What are you saying? If I give up on you, I will hate myself for the rest of my life. I will live with guilt in my future life. If you drink the water, no matter whether you can reach the other side or not, we are all brothers.
Life and death are connected."
At this time, Chen Zhen and Chen Qiang were also nearby. They had refused the water delivered by Ling Jie many times. At this moment, Chen Qiang suddenly tensed up and said, "Brother Ninth, we have burdened you too much. Look at the energy of Da Sima, Shao Sima and the others.
It's still very strong, but you are obviously not as good as them. If Ninth Brother continues not to replenish water, we will not be able to reach the other side. Murong Qing is right, give up on us."
Ling Jie sneered, "Everyone gave their lives to me, Ling Jie. How could I, Ling Jie, give up on you at this time? We are brothers, even life and death. Drink it."
Ling Jie forcibly handed the water bag to Murong Qing's hand. Murong Qing's eyes flickered, and she finally made up her mind. She took the water bag and drank a few sips of water. However, she didn't drink more and just felt that her physical strength had recovered.
Many of them stopped and then returned the water bag to Ling Jie. Ling Jie put the water bag back into his backpack and continued moving forward.
"Someone died again." At this time, a loud shout came from the crowd, and everyone stopped one after another.
People kept dying along the way, which was not surprising to Ling Jie, but he still stopped and looked back.
Murong Qing, Chen Zhen and Chen Qiang also followed.
People formed a circle in the desert. Ling Jie was outside and was about to squeeze in to get a closer look. At this time, he saw Da Sima walking out of the crowd with a serious look on his face. Ling Jie moved.
He asked, "Da Sima, who is the person who died inside?"
(First update, sorry... I first arrived in Shanghai and didn’t even have a place to stay. I finally found a place to stay tonight. I updated a chapter as soon as I settled on it. Fortunately, I have a wireless network card, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to stay.
