"Stop, there are no pursuers behind, let's take a rest first." Xiahou Huan'er reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Dongfang Xing stopped, supported her body with his palms, and gently put her down on the sand.

Xiahou Huan'er was so tired that she simply fell down on the sand in a big shape.

Dongfang Xing glanced at her expressionlessly, then looked up at the east where the sunrise was about to come.

Xiahou Huan'er tugged at his trousers and said, "Aren't you tired? Sit down and have a rest."

He withdrew his eyes and sat cross-legged beside her.

Xiahou Huan'er licked her dry lips, feeling a little weak: "Thirsty..."

Surrounded by endless yellow sand, there is not even a root of green grass, let alone water.

Dongfang Xing stretched out his rough long fingers, stroked her dry lips, and fell silent.

"Dongfang Xing, quickly summon the winged beast and take us back." Xiahou Huan'er remained motionless.

Dongfang Xing understated: "It hurts."

Xiahou Huan'er's heart trembled, remembering that she heard the voice of the winged beast, a little shrill, and immediately asked nervously: "How is its injury?"

"It's okay, go back and recuperate."

Xiahou Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: "What place is this?"

"Desert belt in the southwest." The words were concise and indifferent.

Xiahou Huan'er choked for breath: "How long will it take us to go out?"

Dongfang Xing looked up into the distance, his tone was a little slow, and he said conservatively: "Five days."

"What?" Xiahou Huan'er sat up from the sand and looked at him in horror, "No food, no water?"

Dongfang Xing was silent.

A thunderbolt came from the blue sky, Xiahou Huan'er felt his eyes darkened, and almost fainted.

She felt that instead of dying in Longqiao's castle, she would die of starvation, thirst and exhaustion in the desert.

It was all Long Qiao's fault. If she really died in the desert, she would turn into a ghost and come back to seek revenge on him.

"Go." Dongfang Xing pulled her up and squatted down in front of her.

"I'll go by myself." He ran with her on his back for most of the night, he was more tired than her, Xia Hou Huan'er walked around him and strode forward.

Dongfang Xing was not reluctant, and walked side by side with her in the desert full of yellow sand.

The sun is rising slowly, and the sunrise in the desert is very beautiful. The golden sun is like egg yolk, dangling in front of Xiahou Huaner's eyes. The egg yolk was swallowed into the stomach.

What awaits them is a more severe test.

As time went on, the sun became more and more fierce, and the air was hot and dry, like being in a stove.

Xiahou Huan'er was already struggling, looking at the desert beyond sight, she even wanted to die.

Dongfang Xing picked her up again, jumped and dressed in the desert, she lay on his sweaty back, and began to feel dizzy.

Her feet wrapped around his waist were hanging down weakly, and he grasped them tightly with his hands, showing an anxious expression on her invisible face.

Seeing a hill in the distance, he immediately ran over and put her in a shadowy place.

Xiahou Huan'er was leaning against the cool shade, and seeing him lift his foot as if he was about to leave, she quickly reached out and grabbed his trouser leg.

Dongfang Xing turned around, squatted down in front of her, stretched out his hand to caress her weak cheek, and said in a low voice like a seeping spring, "I'm going to find the water source."

"Me too." She said without hesitation.

He firmly and domineeringly vetoed: "No, you can't stand the scorching sun, wait for me to come back."
