Volume 4 Chapter 183 Desert Underground
In the far northeast of the Sun Empire, there is a volcano, and at the foot of the volcano, there is a huge cave. This cave is called Qilin Cave, and the sacred beast of the Sun Empire lives in this Qilin Cave. The north and east of the volcano are surrounded by the endless sea, while the west and south are covered with ice and snow. Affected by the heat of the volcano, the sea side of the volcano is covered with gravel, while the snow side is covered with overflowing glaciers. This scene is really breathtaking!
In this vast land of ice and snow, there is a supply transfer station every few dozen miles, extending southwest to Night City, the central city of the Sun Empire. All of this is naturally designed for the supreme holy beast of the Sun Empire.
The holy beast is getting old! It is a fire unicorn. Like Xiaolin, it has always been afraid of water, but it can spit fire beads from its mouth, which is far more powerful than cannonballs.
Naturally, the people in the Sun Empire didn’t know that that was mana!
The holy beast has magic power, but unfortunately, it cannot leave the Kirin Cave.
The vitality in the blood of the holy beast is gradually drying up, and it will die in a few decades.
Experts in the Sun Empire predict that once the suppression of the holy beast is lost, the volcano will erupt, and when the time comes, it will bring an extremely huge disaster to the Sun Empire!
This is also an important reason why the Sun Empire expands outward at all costs. On the one hand, they are looking for ways to extend the life of the holy beast, and on the other hand, they are stepping up their aggression against foreign countries.
On this day, there were bursts of howls in the Qilin Cave. Even the people at the supply station across the glacier felt deafening. Of course, they didn't know that it was the holy beast suddenly sensing the surge of its own blood. It had magic power and cultivation. It has lived for unknown years, but in this world, it has descendants.
However, after that person took his only descendant away with his sweet talk, there was no news for hundreds of years. It could only vaguely feel that this bloodline still existed, but it didn't know when it would wait.
Today, it senses it, and this sense is getting clearer and clearer.
Naturally, the Holy Beast didn't know that the plane was already flying in the direction of Qilin Cave. In addition to Xiaolin, there were also several people specially escorted on the plane. As the person who discovered Xiaolin's major secret, Qin Suyan became the person in charge of the trip.
…
…
Let’s talk about Bai Fei and Meiko.
They entered the desert on camels, and no one else followed them except the two of them. There were four camels, each of them rode one, and the other two camels were used for riding and carrying food, water and other scarce items needed in the desert.
Meiko's injury was not completely healed, so Bai Fei didn't dare to be too hasty. The two of them and the four camels just slowly submerged into the desert where the yellow sand hit their faces.
All golden.
Under the scorching sun, he had to guard against sandstorms and quicksand, as well as poisonous things such as spiders, lizards and scorpions. Bai Fei did not dare to walk too fast. The only consolation is that they are always in contact with the communication center, so they don't have to worry about getting lost.
As soon as night comes, the temperature drops sharply. After experiencing the baking during the day, you fall into the ice cave. Without a strong physique, it is difficult for ordinary people to persevere in such a desperate situation.
"What a beauty!"
Bai Fei and Meiko were lying under a withered tree. Only the trunk was left. The trunk was so big that it was difficult for both arms to wrap around it.
The four camels were munching food leisurely on the side. Bai Fei and Meiko ate, drank water, and lay there with their slightly tired bodies stretched out, looking up at the night sky. The stars were dotted, giving the night a dense glow. light spot.
Come and try it quickly. 】
This scene, especially in a place like this, was really pleasing to the eye, and Miko couldn't help but sigh.
"Miko, does the wound still hurt?"
"It's okay, Brother Bai."
"This ghost place needs to be guarded against quicksand during the day, and even more poisonous at night. Meiko, you can rest peacefully! I'll keep watch."
"Brother Bai, you need to rest too. I'll rest for a few hours first. When the time comes, wake me up and I'll keep watch." Meiko didn't insist and slowly closed her eyes.
Bai Fei heard her breathing gradually getting heavier, so he moved closer to her, paying close attention to possible dangers around him.
Four camels were already squatting in the sand, and they were all exhausted.
Meiko woke up on her own.
"Brother Bai, why didn't you wake me up? What time is it now?"
"There are still three or four hours until dawn."
"Then let me do it! You need to be patient as soon as possible. You'll have to work hard after dawn!"
Bai Fei did not refuse her kindness, fell to the ground, and fell asleep quickly.
Looking at his peaceful face through the starlight, Meiko felt mixed emotions in her heart.
How wonderful it would be if we were not enemies!
The sky was getting slightly brighter, and the two continued to move forward.
A few days passed.
"Miko, don't move!"
On this day, Meiko accidentally stepped into the quicksand, and the quicksand reached her knees. Bai Fei, with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, took a stick from the camel and threw it. Meiko turned pale with fright, and followed Bai Fei's instructions to slowly lie down and lean on the stick, at a perpendicular angle to the stick.
"Miko, don't worry, slowly give me your hand."
Bai Fei approached her cautiously. He wanted to prevent himself from being swallowed by the quicksand. If both of them got into the quicksand, the consequences would be disastrous. Fortunately, this quicksand is not very dangerous, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to get close.
He finally caught Meiko's hand, and all his strength exploded, pulling her along, and the two of them flew out.
"not good!"
Bai Fei took a look and saw that the four camels had also sunk into the quicksand, and most of their bodies had been swallowed up. All the food and water sources were on the camels' backs! Although he still has Bigu Pill, Bigu Pill is such a precious treasure!
Without thinking much, Bai Fei jumped out. When the camel was completely swallowed by the quicksand, he grabbed the food and water source, then put his feet on the camel's back and jumped to a safe place. Looking at the other three camels, they struggled and were soon covered by yellow sand.
Being able to grab food and water sources is already a blessing among misfortunes!
"Brother Bai, it's all my fault!" Meiko blamed herself.
"What's your fault? In a place like this, every step is extremely dangerous. The food and water sources are saved, but... Meiko, we have to rely on our own two legs to walk the rest of the way."
Due to Shu Ya's reminder, they were still a long way from their goal, so the two of them just supported each other and continued moving forward.
Sometimes, Bai Fei feels sorry for Meiko's injuries, so he abandons his etiquette and carries her away. Meiko was full of happiness and very considerate, insisting on going down by herself again and again.
In this way, the two supported each other and walked forward for another ten days.
On this day, they finally arrived at their destination.
Strangely enough, as soon as they arrived at their destination, the image of the mirage slowly blurred until it finally dissipated completely.
In front of Bai Fei and Meiko, there is a desert valley.
There is no green grass and vegetation, let alone an oasis. It is still golden to the eye.
The two of them stood high on the edge of the valley.
"Miko, are you afraid?"
"I've come all this way, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Bai Fei smiled and stretched out his hand, and Meiko also
He smiled and extended his hand. Holding hands tightly together, the two of them sat on the sand, leaning back and sliding towards the bottom.
When they were about to reach the bottom, the two hugged each other and rolled down the slope.
Meiko almost fainted, but Bai Fei's eyes were still bright, and he carefully protected the woman in his arms, preventing her from being bumped by the larger sand and stones along the way.
"Brother Bai, I feel so dizzy. Why is the world spinning?"
Just as Bai Fei was about to help Meiko up, he also felt that the sky was really spinning, and the ground was also moving, no, it was collapsing!
"It's over, quicksand!"
Bai Fei's heart felt cold, but he soon knew that was not the case, because their feet were still firmly on the yellow sand.
"Brother Bai, we are going to die here."
Bai Fei was also frightened, but he was more willing to believe that this place was the third gift that Fei'er left for him. With Fei'er's temperament, getting this gift would not go smoothly.
He wanted to think about it, but seeing the yellow sand rolling down from the surrounding heights and collapsing under his feet, he couldn't do nothing and let the disaster happen.
"Miko, hold on."
Bai Fei pulled Meiko and ran towards the center of the trough. If he had stayed there, he would have been buried by the sand and stones rolling down from above.
Bai Fei and Meiko both had a feeling. They were running forward with all their strength, but they clearly felt that their bodies were going down.
That’s the sense of déjà vu caused by the collapse of the trough!
Finally, the entire trough collapsed with a crash, and the two of them fell straight down. The sand and gravel around the trough came overwhelmingly, finally smoothing the trough.
Bai Fei and Meiko felt that their eyes were darkened, as if they had entered a gloomy hell.
Just make peace with it now, Bai Fei comforted himself, pulled his hand, and held Meiko tightly in his arms.
Bai Fei, we are enemies and we will fight to the death, but do you know that I really can't bear to do anything to you, so it's okay, I can die with you, Meiko is satisfied.
Meiko seemed to be suddenly relieved, and an emotion she had never felt before occupied her entire heart.
"Brother Bai!" She called affectionately and hugged him tightly.
Bai Fei didn't pay attention, thinking she was scared.
For a moment, Bai Fei felt something strangely soft and elastic blocking the force of their fall, as if his whole body was pounced on the ball, and the ball was sunk in, blocking its downward momentum. However, a moment later, the ball suddenly opened a hole, and the two of them continued to fall through the hole.
In the darkness, I don’t know what’s underneath!
But soon, a light and airy feeling came over them, and the force of the two's descent weakened a lot again. Just like that, the two hugged and slowly stepped onto the ground.
It's pitch black all around and there's no sound at all. I don't know where I am?
The temperature was on the low side, and the sun was still blazing above just now. In the blink of an eye, they entered the desert night, making both of them shiver involuntarily.
The few remaining food and water sources had been lost in the previous escape, but this was not what Bai Fei was worried about.
The first thing he needs to confirm is, is there any danger around him? He has been able to confirm that this is where Mayfair arranged the last gift for him. As for how to get this gift, he can only figure it out on his own.
Bai Fei took off his coat and put it on Meiko. Meiko's heart was slightly agitated, but she didn't refuse.
The fire broke out and then went out.
In this place, even Huozhezi is useless!
