Chapter 489 The place of death

When the mission set out early in the morning the next day, it was still very cold. After three poles in the morning, it gradually became hotter. This heat has never appeared since they left Luoyan Town.

And along the way to the north, those dry and cracked stone pillars next door no longer appear, and the heat is getting stronger and stronger, and the wind blowing from the front is actually carrying heat waves.

When they set off, everyone was wearing cotton robes, but they had to take them off at this time. The color between the sky and the earth also changed from light yellow to deep yellow. Qiu Yinghao had already turned his horse's head and came to Chu Huan's side, saying "Uncle Chu, a few miles ahead is the edge of the desert. We are about to enter the desert. The climate of this desert is unusual. As long as there is sunlight during the day, the sand will be hot and hot, but at night, the sand will also be hot." It's going to get colder soon."

Chu Huan asked: "Master Qiu, do you mean that this enthusiasm came from the desert?"

Qiu Yinghao nodded and said: "That's right. But I haven't entered the desert yet, and it will be even hotter when I enter the desert." After a pause, he glanced at the long line and said with a frown: "I'm afraid that some of you won't be able to hold on!"

Xue Huai'an was already wiping the sweat from his forehead. He was frail and couldn't bear the cold, nor could he bear the heat. Having already taken off his cotton robe, hearing Qiu Yinghao claim that it would be even hotter in the desert, he couldn't help saying with a bitter face: "I'm afraid I'll be the first one who can't last."

Qiu Yinghao smiled, and then said: "Master Chu, let your men dismount after entering the desert. After entering the desert, unless it is absolutely necessary, don't ride lightly."

Chu Huan nodded, called Xuanyuan Shengcai, and told him to pass down the order that once he entered the desert, he would dismount immediately.

A few miles ahead, the sun was shining in the sky, it was noon, a heat wave came in ahead, and there was no wind, many people were already sweating, faintly feeling the golden color in front of them was dazzling, and thin spots had appeared on the ground. soft sand.

Chu Huan patted his horse and walked forward, and soon he saw a piece of golden yellow in front of him. The yellow sand was like fine golden sand, and the dunes were undulating, which was completely different from the flat Gobi.

The light was dazzling, and the team slowly followed up, dismounting one after another, and seeing the golden world in front of them, people who had never seen a desert were dumbfounded.

At first glance, this desert is really amazing, and it feels refreshing. Someone has squatted down and grabbed a handful of fine sand in their hands, which is actually a bit hot.

Many people stared blankly at this desert, amazed, but also a little nervous. Everyone knows that the vast Jingulan Desert is in front of them, which is also known as the land of death. No one knows how to cross this dead zone safely.

The yellow sand is all over the sky, shining brightly in the sun.

Xuanyuan Shengcai was busy preparing the formation at this time, Qiu Yinghao bowed his hands to Chu Huan, and said, "Uncle Chu, we will enter the desert from now on, and the journey will be difficult. I hope we can help each other in the same boat!"

"Naturally!" Chu Huan said solemnly, "Lao Qiu is in charge of everything!"

The camel guests from the Ma family did not come into contact with the mission all the way, as if they were strangers traveling on the same road. At this moment, the camel guests had dismounted from their horses and were feeding the horses with water.

After resting for a while at the edge of the Jingulan Desert, Qiu Yinghao led the horse and was the first to walk in front. The team immediately pulled up and followed Qiu Yinghao slowly into the desert.

Qiu Yinghao was not wrong, the heat he felt earlier was just a test, and he didn't know what the real heat was until everyone actually entered the desert.

The sun shone on the golden sand, and the hot air evaporated from the sand, and the air was filled with heat waves. After only a short walk, many people wanted to take off all their clothes.

Stepping on the sand feels very different from walking on the Gobi Desert. It is soft, and many people are not used to it at first.

The civil servants, including Xue Huai'an, were already complaining in their hearts. As soon as they entered the desert, they felt dizzy. It was really uncomfortable. They looked ahead, and the sky was full of yellow sand. It's a long road, and the heart of death is there.

The only carriage in the team was pulled by two camels. It was only when they entered the desert that they realized the power of camels. Although the two camels walked slowly, they pulled the carriage forward with ease.

Chu Baihu and several other Shenyi guards also got off their horses and walked in front of, behind, left, and right of the carriage, guarding them extremely strictly.

Seeing the desert for the first time, there is still a sense of amazement. Many people even admire the scenery of the desert in their hearts. There is no other scenery, only high or low sand dunes. After turning over one sand dune, there is another one after another, one after another.

The setting sun shone on the sand, and the heat was still there. Xue Huai'an wanted to stop and rest several times, but before setting off, he had something to say first, and Qiu Yinghao couldn't listen if he didn't say stop. He had no choice but to find a wooden stick and move forward .

Chu Huan was also sweating on his forehead, but he was still able to bear the hardships. He suddenly thought of Liu Meiniang, a weak woman who could withstand the hardships of the desert. It had already faded away, only wearing the blue brocade gown, leading the horse, walking slowly along the side of the team, raising his hand from time to time to wipe his forehead, obviously the scorching heat was unbearable.

Shui Yong was really complaining at this time.

For Liu Meiniang, he slapped his chest and followed into the desert. He hinted many times along the way, but although Liu Meiniang is a vixen who is charming and tempting, he is slipperier than a loach. I couldn't even touch it.

He thought that Liu Meiniang was really attracted to him, so he was looking forward to taking this beauty into his arms, but he walked all the way, but found that Liu Meiniang seemed to be very close to Mu Mu, and he saw the two people avoiding him talking a few times What, he obviously regarded himself as an outsider, and Shui Yong got angry several times, and sometimes he wanted to find an opportunity to force Liu Meiniang, but that wood was so sinister, Shui Yong was still a little bit jealous of him, She wanted to leave, but she couldn't bear to part with this delicacy. Whenever she hesitated, Liu Meiniang just teased a few words at random, then captivated Shui Yong's teasing again, and followed her wholeheartedly.

But in the desert, in this harsh environment, Shui Yong wondered in his heart whether it was worth it.

He walked behind Liu Meiniang, looked at Liu Meiniang's graceful back, looked at her slender waist wrapped in a belt, like a willow, when she walked, she swayed slightly, her buttocks tightly wrapped in a gown were tight, round and Shui Yong couldn't help but feel his throat dry, it was already very hot at the moment, coupled with the temptation brought by Liu Meiniang, Shui Yong was sweating profusely.

The sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding area became dark as the sun set. Although the sun had set, the heat in the sand still remained, and it evaporated quickly.

The heat evaporates from the sand very quickly, and soon, the heat dissipated, and everyone gradually felt a wave of coolness coming up. After being tortured by the heat for most of the day, at this moment, the coolness appeared, and people suddenly felt a burst of relief, but it’s a pity The coolness quickly turned into a chill. When Qiu Yinghao ordered the team to stop and rest, the chill was getting stronger and stronger. Not long ago, they were sweating profusely from the heat. At this moment, many people began to put on cotton robes again. to beat the cold.

Xue Huai'an sat down on the ground and couldn't move anymore. The guards and Luo Tuo Ke both had extremely strong physiques and could hold on, but those civil servants were not used to it at all. They all sat on the sand and pressed their calves. Xue Huai'an could only blame his own fate, but these civil servants cursed and abused Xue Huai'an in their hearts.

The five or six civil servants who came with the mission were all transferred by Xue Huai'an from the Ministry of Rites. Perplexed, he started cursing back again.

The team is still divided into several camps as in the next door. Xuanyuan Shengcai still arranges camps as before, but compared with the Gobi, camping in the desert takes more energy and takes a lot longer. The terrain of the desert and the Gobi It’s completely different. The Gobi is flat, but the desert is undulating and has many sand dunes. After finally setting up the camp, the wind began to blow in the desert again, and the cold wind rolled up the sand and dust. The sand hits the face, but it hurts. The wind comes fast and goes not slowly. It blows and stops. It is all quiet, the sky is blue and the earth is vast, and the eyes are full of sand and dust. Looking around, there is a piece of grayness, and I don't know where the end is.

As the night got darker, the colder the weather, and there was no firewood in the desert, so I couldn't warm up by the fire, so I just brought some lamp oil and put a few lamps in the camp.

It's just that when the lights of the mission were turned on, Qiu Yinghao personally ran over and reminded that it's better not to turn on the lights at night. There are several sand bandits in the desert, and no one knows when and where they will appear. Threats from bandits, don’t turn on lights at night, so as not to be seen by bandits.

According to Qiu Yinghao, the sand bandits in the desert are like a gust of wind. Often when you find out, they have already appeared in front of you and swung their knives at you. When you realize it, they may have already rode away.

Sand bandits may not all have high skills, but they are well aware of the desert's climate and environment, and they can move freely and quickly in this harsh environment. The desert is the nightmare of ordinary people, but it is their natural protection. Membranes, they have the most suitable horses in the desert climate in the world, and they can find the best time to attack the target in the desert.

Come like the wind and go like the wind.

Xue Huai'an and others listened to Qiu Yinghao's introduction, Chu Huan was calm and composed, but the others secretly prayed in their hearts that it would be best not to run into those murderous sand bandits along the way.

There was no wind in the dark night, and the camp was silent. Today, the men and horses exhausted a lot of energy. Many people entered the desert for the first time and felt uncomfortable. Even those well-trained guards warriors, many of them complained in their hearts. After coming down, I was exhausted and ate dry food. Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else went to bed early.

Chu Huan was still on duty in the first half of the night, but before he finished his tour of the camp, he heard screams from a tent, and then someone shouted: "It's not good, come quickly, it's not good, come quickly People!" The voice was terrified, as if something terrible had happened.
