Chapter 2385 Crisis in the Dark (two chapters in one)
The huge sun hangs high in the sky, pouring fierce sunlight on the earth.
Looking around, the surroundings were gray, and now the wind and sand were flying again, making it impossible to see things a hundred meters away.
And as time goes by, the things that the eyes can see will become less and less clear.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was now physically and mentally haggard from the heat radiated by the sun in the sky. He knew it was not good to continue traveling in such a harsh environment, otherwise he would very likely suffer from heatstroke.
Once he collapses from heat stroke and there are no companions around to help take care of him, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead may die in this place.
"call……"
Panting with a brown birthmark on his forehead, the pig-headed captain raised his head and looked around for a place to rest. Soon he found a small forest in the distance.
In order to avoid heatstroke, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, immediately hurried to the woods in the distance.
A few minutes later, the woods appeared in front of us.
The moment the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead entered the shade of a tree, he immediately felt a chill coming over his face.
“So comfortable.”
It is indeed a few degrees cooler under the shade than other places.
Resting in such an environment, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead should be able to recover quickly.
He took off his backpack and threw it on the ground.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly came to a short tree.
There were many red fruits hanging on this small tree. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead picked one and put it in his mouth.
After the fruit is bitten, juice will flow out, and the taste is not sweet.
But in such a bad environment, having fruit to eat is considered a very good treatment.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead reached out and picked up a handful of wild fruits and stuffed them into his mouth. After a while, he had eaten several handfuls of wild fruits.
"Tons, tons, tons."
He picked up the kettle and drank some water. Under the cool shade of the tree, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead felt like he was alive.
"call……"
In the endless desert in the distance, the wind and sand blowing are getting bigger and bigger. Even if you stay outside the woods, you will be beaten by the wind and sand.
The pig-headed captain, who had regained some energy and had a brown birthmark on his forehead, quickly picked up the backpack on the ground and walked into the woods.
Although the area of this forest is not large, it is at least several hundred acres.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, walked deeper into the woods for a few minutes. He felt no longer disturbed by the wind and sand, and his mood immediately improved a lot.
The surroundings were quite quiet and no dangerous creatures were found.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to an empty place and sat on the ground. He took off the backpack on his back again and put it aside. Then he leaned against a big tree with his eyes closed and meditated.
After the heavy rain, the weather would turn out to be so bad. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not expect it.
When he set out in the morning, he still thought of taking advantage of the cool weather to travel more distance. But now it seems that this idea is unlikely to be realized.
"call……"
The wind and sand blowing in the desert kept beating the woods, and some trees on the periphery were quickly beaten and dropped many leaves.
Although the noise was loud, the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead who was deep in the woods would not be disturbed.
…………
Deep in the vast endless desert, the two investigators in the oasis set out again.
After the rain, the sky clears up, and the sun continues to release heat into the desert, which is very stressful for the two investigators traveling in the desert.
Fortunately, the equipment for this trip was very complete. The two investigators just found it very difficult and would not be put in danger by the fierce sun.
"The sun is really bright today."
"I need to put on some sunscreen."
"You apply it first, and I will apply it after you finish."
"OK."
The two investigators took turns applying sunscreen to avoid sunburn on their skin due to direct sunlight.
Time passed, and the two investigators walked in the desert for a whole morning, but they did not encounter any strange beasts jumping out of the darkness to attack them.
When traveling in the desert these days, it has become commonplace to be attacked by strange beasts living in the desert.
Now that there are no strange beasts to attack, the two investigators still feel a little uncomfortable.
"Look there." The tall investigator raised his hand and pointed to the right, his tone full of joy.
"I didn't expect to find another oasis so soon." The short investigator turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by his companion.
A few kilometers away, there is an oasis between two sand dunes.
The two investigators quickly walked towards the oasis. When they arrived at the oasis, the weather began to change.
Sand and dust were blown up by gusts of strong wind, and the originally fresh air now made me feel uncomfortable every time I took a breath.
"Damn it, there's another sandstorm."
"This day goes on endlessly, and my head hurts..."
"There's nothing we can do about it in the desert! Now we can only avoid it."
"Go over there and hide for a while!"
The two investigators discussed it for a while and then quickly walked towards a dense forest in the oasis.
This oasis was more vibrant than the previous ones they encountered. After entering the oasis, the two investigators saw many creatures hiding in the dark and peering around, quietly observing them.
I used my mental perception to explore these creatures and found that they were all ordinary small animals and there were no strange beasts.
They were just ordinary small animals that posed no threat to the two investigators, so they didn't bother to pay attention to these creatures that were quietly observing them.
Arriving at the dense woods, the two investigators immediately set up tents.
The sandstorm was getting bigger and bigger. With the obstruction of the woods and the shelter of the tent, the two investigators did not have to worry about the huge impact of the sandstorm.
It happened to be noon, and the two investigators, whose stomachs were growling with hunger, began to take out food from the space artifacts to eat.
After the hearty food was heated, the aroma immediately spread out, and some small animals around began to salivate when they smelled the aroma.
However, they had never seen the investigator, so they did not dare to approach rashly. They could only watch from a distance, and then drooled on the ground.
…………
"call……"
The terrible wind and sand have subsided a bit, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead has rested for a long time and has fully recovered.
He opened his eyes, stood up, packed his backpack and set off again.
Time passed, the wind and sand disappeared, and the sky became clear again.
The pig-headed captain who was on his way with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the changing weather and muttered.
"The weather here is really changeable, worse than the weather we encountered in the forest before."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead that was tortured by the heat, couldn't help but recall the extremely cold weather he had encountered in the forest before.
When it's cold, you want to be hot, and when it's hot, you want to be cold. It's such a complicated mentality.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, hurried forward and tried his best to choose a place with shade.
Every few kilometers you walk, you have to drink a little water. The gourd filled with water starts to become empty.
When the sun was about to set, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead carried several gourds filled with water that were already empty.
There was only one pot of water left, so it was time to find a place to refill the water.
Fortunately, this time the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, had better luck. He didn't need to spend time looking for the water source, because he saw a waterfall in the distance at a glance.
Yes, there is a waterfall on the edge of the desert.
If you tell others that there is a waterfall on the edge of the desert, few people will believe it.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw a waterfall on the edge of the desert and thought it was a mirage. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes several times to confirm that he was not hallucinating.
"Very good."
"I have been unlucky for so long, and finally my fortune is turning."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was very happy and hurried to where the waterfall appeared.
Looking down from a high altitude to the ground, you can see a majestic waterfall flowing down on the edge of the desert, forming a deep dark pool at the bottom.
The filled water turns into a river and flows towards the desert. On both sides of the river, many drought-resistant plants grow.
"Quack quack quack..."
"twitter……"
Some birds live in these big trees. When they are thirsty, they fly down from the trees and land on the shore to drink water.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the waterfall and immediately refilled all the empty water bottles.
After filling up the water bottle, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead lowered his head to drink water.
After drinking several sips in a row, the dry mouth feeling disappeared.
"That is?"
Not far away is the river, with some dark figures swimming in the water.
The eyes of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead suddenly lit up, and he jumped towards the river not far away.
He plunged into the water, and the water splashed. After more than ten seconds, a big black fish was thrown from the water to the shore by the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
Yes, there are fish in the river, and one fish is not enough for the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
Immediately afterwards, three more big black fish were caught.
"Hahaha……"
"We can have a good meal tonight."
During this period, he was eating dry food, but the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, felt very uncomfortable.
Now that you can eat fresh big black fish, don't feel too good about it.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came ashore from the river. He took off his clothes and wore them with branches.
Given the dry environment around us, wet clothes will become dry in a short time.
The big snakehead fish that was caught was quite tenacious and was still jumping around, opening and closing its mouth and blowing bubbles.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead used a piece of thick grass to string up several large black fish, and then walked towards the waterfall.
The rushing water flew down, and a steady stream of water fell below the cliff, producing a lot of water vapor, nourishing the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
Elsewhere on the edge of the desert, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had never seen a butterfly.
Because there is ample water here, there are many flowers and butterflies.
Colorful butterflies danced among the flowers and had a great time.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at these beautiful butterflies in front of him and found that they were all very small.
After admiring the butterflies dancing among the flowers for a while, it was time to get down to business.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, cleaned the big black fish he caught, and then strung it up with branches.
Collect some dry wood and light a bonfire by the waterfall.
The big black fish was grilled next to the campfire. After a while, a very attractive fragrance began to waft away.
These big black fish are very plump, and after grilling, the fat comes out, making the flavor even richer.
The pig-headed captain, who had not eaten fresh grilled fish for a long time and had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was drooling at this moment.
When the fish was grilled, he couldn't wait to start eating it.
“Delicious, really delicious.”
"It's really uncomfortable to eat dry food every day. It would be nice if I could have fresh grilled fish every day."
Just as the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was feasting on delicious food, a pair of eyes stared at him from a patch of grass in the distance.
“So full!”
After a while, the pig-headed captain, who had eaten enough and had a brown birthmark on his forehead, raised his hand and patted his belly, with a very satisfied smile on his face.
There was nothing I could do about it. I was traveling on the edge of the desert these days and it was really hard.
I finally had a full meal, and the food I ate was grilled fish cooked with fresh ingredients. I felt happy beyond words.
"Shashasha..."
Suddenly there was a slight noise behind him, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, who was savoring the taste of grilled fish, reacted very quickly.
He sensed something was wrong and quickly threw himself aside.
"boom."
A dull sound suddenly appeared, and he rolled on the ground several times. Then the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly got up and turned his head to look.
I saw a lizard over two meters long appearing where he was sitting.
"It's a strange beast."
"This guy is really secretive."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead just used his mental power to explore the surroundings, but did not sense any psychic fluctuations in the dark.
Obviously, this strange beast should have awakened the power of concealment.
Otherwise, given the strength of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, it would be impossible for him to not notice it.
"Roar……"
The lizard opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and grinned at the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
