The green smoke rising from this ring without gemstones was misty and emitted a faint blue light, which was very dazzling in the darkness.
The three of them, Chen Zhi, just walked forward along this misty smoke line, going deeper and deeper into the black desert. Chen Zhi soon discovered that they had thought of this black desert too simply. Huo Ling
The pressing pressure of Shi's mission and Chen Zhi's confidence in later obtaining mana made them forget the cruelty of reality. Reality is reality and will not be changed by human will. They greatly underestimated this underground world.
This desert is too vast. The deeper they go, the higher the temperature. They went from constantly checking their arm thermometers to gradually becoming numb. They walked for nearly three days in exhaustion.
But the smoke line still extended into the darkness, with no end in sight and the goal still out of reach. The three people had been relying on the nutrients in the liquid to maintain their body supply for the past three days, and they were already exhausted.
The most important problem is that there is no way to rest. There is no cool place in this underground black desert, and there is no barrier to cover oneself. The high temperature on the surface makes it impossible to stop, and of course it is impossible to sleep.
During this period of time, they could only spread the cold insulation cloth on the black sand, lie on the ground to rest for a while, and then continue to move forward. The wisp of green smoke later became more and more dispersed. Chen Zhi knew that
The time limit for the spell has expired. They don't have much water saved. If they can't see the target within a day, they will never be able to go back.
Chen Zhi was extremely exhausted at this time, his lips were cracked, and his body was walking almost by natural reflexes. Fat Wei was the most dehydrated. He had rarely spoken since the day before yesterday, but his rapid breathing on the radio was obviously tolerant.
The body is dehydrated and hypoxic and the body temperature is gradually rising. In order to save drinking water, Chen Zhi asked everyone to reduce the amount of walking as much as possible to maintain the body's water and physical strength.
In the end, perhaps due to the long-term high temperature outside, the wireless communication device inside the oxygen mask also began to buzz randomly. The three people's calls were no longer smooth. This noise confused Chen Zhi's brain.
Unclear.
The line of smoke that guided the way came and went during this period, and finally lost its trace completely. They kept going in circles after losing their direction, and the original sense of urgency and mission belief of coming here were gradually replaced by this.
The black sand swallowed them up, and except for the ghost sword, their consciousness began to become increasingly blurred.
Finally, Fat Wei sat down on the sand. The work clothes on his butt touched the hot sand and immediately made a sizzling sound, but Fat Wei did not move.
"Orange, I can't walk anymore",
Fat Wei's voice on the wireless is very weak,
"I really can't walk anymore, and now that I have no direction, there's no point in walking anymore."
"you……"
Chen Zhi stretched out his hand to pull him, but his legs gave way and he fell to the ground. Only then did he realize that it was not a question of whether he was willing to walk anymore, but that his body really couldn't move anymore.
For a moment.
The two of them were sitting face to face like this, and they didn't even have the strength to speak. Chen Zhi no longer cared about whether his work clothes would be burned. He just wanted to have a good sleep and let his tired and chaotic brain return to normal. Two people
He soon fell into a semi-sleep state, and after an unknown amount of time, Chen Zhi heard Fat Wei's voice in a daze.
"Chengzi, I'm too careless. I always thought that I was destined to die. I had gone through so many things and couldn't die, so I followed you here and finally suffered a loss. In fact, how could reality always be so good to me?
I don’t always get lucky.”
After Fat Wei said this, he paused for a moment, breathed heavily for a while and then continued.
"Actually, my drinking fountain has been broken since the day before yesterday. I never told you that my fat man is also a man. Even if he dies, he must die hard and not become a burden to you, a little orange.
It seems that I can't get out this time, M, the boat capsized in the gutter. In the next life, I must be more careful and don't go underground and die in this damn place. I don't know if I will change too.
Turned into sand, trapped in this hell of hot sand and tortured."
After Fat Wei finished speaking, he lowered his head and remained motionless and stopped talking.
When Chen Zhi heard these words from the fat man in a stifling coma, he was still frightened and woke up a little.
"Did you say you haven't drank water since the day before yesterday? Then you have been holding on until now..., fat man! Hey~~~~~~fat man!"
Chen Zhi tried his best to shout over the wireless, but his voice was weak, and Fat Wei on the other side didn't react at all.
Chen Zhi was also discouraged at this time. He walked non-stop for three days in the high temperature. Now he didn't even have the strength to stand up. The silence and sultry heat of this endless black desert made people despair, and he had no water left.
How much, you can imagine what happens next.
"I said at that time not to get involved in our affairs, but you didn't listen. Now you know it!"
Chen Zhi said feebly over the wireless, looking at Fat Wei in front of him, but he was helpless.
Fat Wei must be in a coma now. He hasn't drank water for three days and is severely dehydrated. There is no point in screaming. There are only two ways now.
The only way is to start walking back now. On the way back, Pang Wei can't take off his oxygen mask, and he still can't drink water. He will definitely be in a state of severe dehydration in the next few days, and Chen Zhi and Guidao will have to carry him. So even if
Returning back the same way now cannot guarantee Fat Wei's life safety.
The other way is to bite the bullet and continue looking for the tomb of the God of Drought, hoping that the temperature there will be lower and the air quality will be better, allowing Fat Wei to take off the oxygen mask and replenish the water source. Then Fat Wei's life will be saved.
I'm back, but the smoke line guiding the way has disappeared. The direction ahead is confusing and endless. Who knows whether I can find the damn tomb of the god.
When Chen Zhi thought of this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and a great sense of fatigue and sleepiness came over him. His brain stopped working forcibly, and Chen Zhi dropped his head and fell into a complete coma.
After an unknown amount of time, when Chen Zhi regained consciousness, he saw Fat Wei lying on his side on the sand in front of him, with a cold-proof cloth under him.
Chen Zhi tried to move, but his limbs could already be used. He looked around first. The black desert was still dead and sultry, but the ghost knife had disappeared.
"Where did the knife go?",
Chen Zhi said over the squeaking wireless, while Fat Wei on the opposite side had already lost his meaning and had no reaction at all.
A feeling of panic came over him. Chen Zhi immediately stood up, supported his tired body and took a few steps forward. He could see nothing in the endless black sand in front of him, and a terrifying thought came to him inexplicably.
Get into his mind.
"Where did the Ghost Sword go? Was it captured by the witch? Or..., did he abandon us?"
