All the way to the west, when Tang Feng left Dabaiquan, he grabbed a handful of reeds, and before walking for a while, he planted a reed in the sand as a mark, so that even if he failed to find Hanhai Micheng, even if he lost his way in the desert , they can still follow the reed mark and return to Dabaiquan.

However, what's the use of returning to Dabaiquan?There is no food here, and even if there is water, they will still starve to death in the desert.

The three of them braved the scorching sun and headed all the way towards that glorious city. The scorching sun baked the scorching sand and seemed to melt everything in the desert. The sand was hot, and every time his calf sank into the sand, Tang Feng felt as if his calf was roasted by charcoal fire.

In the hot desert, everything seemed unreal, sweat flowed into Tang Feng's eyes, Tang Feng wiped the sweat off his face, and the city ahead suddenly became so real again, and he was already so close to it, As if within reach!However, no matter how Tang Feng speeds up, that splendid city always keeps a distance from him, like a beautiful girl who does not want to show her beautiful face.

The day passed quickly, and when night fell, the glorious city still stood at the end of the horizon.The three of them collapsed in the desert exhausted, Liang Yuan had already finished drinking water, and Tang Feng and Han Jiang had little left. None of the three wanted to take a small step forward, but just wanted to end all this quickly. leave the desert.

But when the next morning came, they were still in the desert, and what was even more frightening was that the glorious city that had been in front of them had disappeared.Surrounded by desolate desert, they knew that the most terrible thing had happened-they were completely lost in the desert.

Liang Yuan sat slumped on the ground, weeping softly, "It's all you, I told you it was a mirage! You didn't listen, now we are lost."

"But...but that city is so real, it was already so close to us!" Tang Feng lost his mind.

Han Jiang also slumped on the ground, "Okay, we can't go any further."

"What do you mean?" Tang Feng asked back.

"Liang Yuan is right, it is indeed a mirage."

"No! I'm sure that's the Hanhai Micheng we're looking for!" Tang Feng shouted loudly, but then lowered his voice, "Okay, even if it's a mirage, I think it reflects the Hanhaimicheng A real scene."

"Are you so sure?" Han Jiang asked.

"That oasis, the splendid ancient city in the oasis, is exactly the same as the Hanhaimi City I imagined. Could it be otherwise?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang.

Han Jiang pondered for a long while, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Whether it is Hanhai Micheng or not, we can't go any further. Our food and water have been exhausted, so we can only Choose to leave the desert first and re-equip before you can come back to search for Hanhai Micheng."

"Exit the desert?" Tang Feng was taken aback, "How to retreat? Even if we want to exit the desert now, it will not be so easy. We have lost our way in the desert..."

"Go east, as long as we go east, we will be able to get out of the desert!" Han Jiang said firmly.

"Going east?" Tang Feng turned his head and looked east. The reeds he planted when he came here had long since disappeared, and the east was boundless sand dunes.

"Yes! Only by exiting the desert can there be hope." Liang Yuan echoed Han Jiang.

Tang Feng reluctantly followed Han Jiang and Liang Yuan to retreat eastward. The three of them searched for the reeds Tang Feng had planted, but the reed branches were intermittent and could not be seen at all in the end. The Dabai Spring also disappeared into the vast sea of ​​sand.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang repeatedly identified the direction, and Han Jiang was convinced that they were heading east. As long as they walked like this, they would definitely be able to get out of the desert.

But the three of them walked in the hot desert for a whole day, and they didn't see any other colors except yellow, let alone get out of the desert.

At dusk, Liang Yuan finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell down on the sand. Tang Feng quickly went to help Liang Yuan, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, if you hold on for a while, we will be able to walk out of the desert in no time."

"I...I can't...I can't..."

"No, hold on for a while. It's all my fault, I should listen to you." Tang Feng began to regret his recklessness.

Liang Yuan fell into Tang Feng's arms, tremblingly took out the chicken heart necklace from her collar, which contained her mother's photo, Liang Yuan wanted to open the chicken heart necklace, but she had no strength left, Tang Feng's cheeks flowed After shedding two lines of tears, he helped Liang Yuan open the chicken heart necklace. Liang Yuan's mother was still so young and beautiful in the photo.

Tang Feng was also exhausted, but he couldn't give up Liang Yuan. He used all his strength to carry Liang Yuan on his back, but he fell down in the desert with Liang Yuan within five steps.

Han Jiang looked at the two of them, shook his head vigorously, sighed, and said, "Poor mandarin duck!" He also collapsed on the sand, and sweat dripped down from his head, lying in Han Jiang's eyes, which were blurry. Getting up, Han Jiang stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes. Suddenly, something yellow flashed in front of Han Jiang's eyes. What was that?
Han Jiangqiang cheered up and sat up. He saw an elf staring at them on the sand not far away. Tang Feng and Liang Yuan also sat up supportively when they heard the movement, but they hadn't waited for them to react. , Han Jiang was already staring at the elf with a pair of hungry eyes.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan looked at Han Jiang in surprise. When Han Jiang turned around again, they saw that Han Jiang had completely turned into a savage at this moment, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he was chewing something vigorously. Chewing, Han Jiang frowned for a while, and then showed a cheerful expression. Looking at Han Jiang's hand again, his right hand was a dagger dripping with blood, and his left hand was dragging a strange creature that neither Tang Feng nor Liang Yuan knew.

Tang Feng stared at that thing, feeling familiar, "What is this? It looks like a lizard!"

"Yes! It's a lizard." Han Jiang spat out something he couldn't chew, and said with blood foaming from his mouth.

"Lizard? The lizards in my impression are all in the primeval forest!" Tang Feng said with a frown.

"This is a sand lizard, a desert lizard."

Said, Han Jiang threw the sand lizard in his hand in front of Tang Feng, Tang Feng instinctively backed away, Han Jiang smiled, "What are you hiding? This is your lunch... Oh! No, it's dinner No matter lunch, it's dinner!"

"What? You...you let me eat this?!" Tang Feng was astonished.

"What's wrong with eating this? Do you have anything else to eat? Survival in the wild, you also practiced?"

"I..." Tang Feng showed embarrassment. He stared at the sand lizard that had been disembowelled by Han Jiang, feeling sick for a while, but there was nothing in his stomach for him to vomit.The sand lizard's heart seemed to be still beating, Han Jiang pointed at the sand lizard's heart, "You are quick, drink its blood, don't let it bleed out!"

"There won't be any parasites in here!"

"Damn it, what time is it, you're still bothered by parasites! If you don't eat it, I'll eat it." Han Jiang lay down on the lizard's vein and drank blood again.

Tang Feng turned his head and looked at the weak Liang Yuan, "Even if we can eat it, look at Liang Yuan, can she eat it like that?"

"You and she are the weakest now, so they need food the most."

"Can you cook it for Liang Yuan to eat?"

"Think of it as a wild barbecue! If you have the ability to light a fire and cook in this hellish place, I'll wait for you to barbecue. That's enough, don't babble, just let it go!"

After Han Jiang finished speaking, he cut a piece of meat from the lizard and handed it to Liang Yuan. Liang Yuan frowned when she saw the lizard meat that was still bleeding, and hesitated to put it in her mouth.

Han Jiang smiled, "Miss, let me tell you, this piece of meat is the best and most tender piece of sand lizard, just like beef tenderloin on a cow or tenderloin on a pig, so don't be picky, enjoy a delicious meal quickly !"

"Damn it, don't give me beef tenderloin and tenderloin at this time!" Tang Feng complained.

Liang Yuan held the piece of meat in her hand, but still didn't dare to put it in her mouth, Han Jiang became anxious, "Miss, if such a good sand lizard sashimi is placed in a five-star hotel in Beijing or Hong Kong, it would be very valuable! Don't hesitate..."

Han Jiang was still talking. Liang Yuan closed her eyes and swallowed the piece of meat. Liang Yuan wanted to swallow it directly, but the piece of meat was too big to swallow. Take a little bit of chewing.

"Yes! That's it, don't swallow, chew slowly, you will feel a wonderful taste, a bit like a medium-ripe steak, and a bit like a tender salmon sashimi, it starts to smell a bit earthy, but when the tip of your tongue slows down Get used to this taste slowly, and you will feel that this is the most delicious delicacy in the world!"

Under Han Jiang's gentle temptation, Liang Yuan closed her eyes and ate the piece of meat bit by bit, "How is it? Is it delicious?" Han Jiang asked Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan actually nodded, so Han Jiang cut another piece of meat and handed it to her, "Yuanyuan, you are mature, you know that if we want to get out of the desert, we must eat more, although I know the taste is hard to let go." People accept."

Liang Yuan nodded, and ate the piece of meat again. Seeing that Liang Yuan was so brave, Tang Feng had no choice but to pinch his nose and eat a large piece of sand lizard meat raw.

The three recovered some strength at this moment, Han Jiang suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, "This sand lizard has saved our lives! Almighty Lord, God, God, Jesus, Buddha, Guan Master, Confucius, Jade Emperor!—Thank you for giving me food together, Amen! Amitabha! Infinite Life Buddha!"

Tang Feng was so happy, "What kind of teaching do you believe in?"

"It doesn't matter, whoever can bless us to go out, I will believe who? If they can show their spirits, I will confess to them all when I go back!" Han Jiang vowed.

"Full confession? Then these gods don't fight yet." Tang Feng smiled wryly.

"That's the matter of the gods in the sky, I can't bother, I just care about what's in front of me!"

"In front of you...then you have to see if the gods will protect you..." Tang Feng's voice suddenly changed.

"What's wrong with you?" Han Jiang noticed that Tang Feng not only changed his voice, but also his eyes became frightened.

"You... behind you..."

Han Jiang turned around abruptly, and he saw a huge reptile slowly walking towards them. It was a giant sand lizard, which seemed to be two meters long, with its beard constantly spitting out from its mouth. He was staring at Han Jiang with a pair of round eyes.

Han Jiang didn't know whether this giant sand lizard was the mother or father of the little sand lizard just now, or someone of the same kind who smelled blood and wanted to share a piece of the pie, but he clearly felt a huge threat. It actually made him feel a deep chill in the scorching desert.

Han Jiang used to fight wild wolves, Tibetan mastiffs, and snow leopards with only a dagger, but this was the first time he had encountered this huge reptile in front of him.

Han Jiang gripped the dagger tightly, took two steps back, and assumed the posture of going to a duel with the giant sand lizard, but when the giant sand lizard rushed towards it suddenly, Han Jiang still chose to dodge, and the giant sand lizard jumped from Han Jiang's body. He rushed over and turned around, but the giant sand lizard was lying quietly on the desert, not moving.

Tang Feng protected Liang Yuan and hid behind Han Jiang. The three of them stared at the giant sand lizard together. As time passed, the sand lizard seemed to be asleep and remained motionless. "What's wrong with it? It was stabbed by you just now. Arrived?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang in a low voice.

"Stab a fart! How dare I stab it, seeing its rushing posture?"

"Then what's wrong with it? Asleep?"

"I have heard of a lizard in the desert before, which is huge and clumsy, but when it sunbathes in the sun and absorbs enough heat, its skin will turn black and become extremely agile. I think today we I just met such a lizard." Han Jiang recalled the legendary lizard.

"Could this giant sand lizard be this kind of lizard?"

"Look at it, it is absorbing the heat in the desert, pay attention, its skin is changing..."

"Yeah! It's starting to turn black!" Tang Feng shouted.

"Exactly like the one in the legend. Be careful!"

As soon as Han Jiang finished speaking, the giant sand lizard whose skin had turned black suddenly rushed towards them. Tang Feng protected Liang Yuan and fell to one side, while Han Jiang fell to the other side, but the giant sand lizard changed this time. Being extremely agile, it flew into the air and immediately turned around and rushed towards Han Jiang again. Before Han Jiang could stand up, it was hit by a giant sand lizard into a sunken bunker.

The giant sand lizard lay firmly on Han Jiang's body, its red tongue could already lick Han Jiang's face, Han Jiang waved a sharp dagger, and kept stabbing at the soft belly of the sand lizard, but Han Jiang's arm was caught by the sand lizard. The lizard blocked it, Han Jiang swung the dagger again, and stabbed at the sand lizard. Before Han Jiang's dagger arrived, the sand lizard swung its tail as thick as a steel whip and hit Han Jiang's body. Han Jiang felt a burst of pain. In severe pain, the dagger in his hand almost let go.

When the sand lizard was about to attack Hanjiang again, Tang Feng raised a burst of flying sand from the ground and shouted at the giant sand lizard, "Come on! I'm here."

Enraged by Tang Feng behind him, the giant sand lizard turned around and rushed towards Tang Feng. Tang Feng was no match for sand lizard at all. Before the sand lizard rushed to him, Tang Feng ran away.

At this time, Han Jiang stumbled and stood up from the sand pit. Fortunately, he grabbed the dagger tightly. He saw the sand lizard rushing towards Tang Feng, and he jumped behind the sand lizard. The lizard's tail was pierced.

The giant sand lizard let out a strange cry, left Tang Feng behind, twisted its thick tail angrily, and hit Han Jiang on the right arm holding the dagger. Han Jiang felt a sharp pain in his right arm. After falling on the ground, Han Jiang still kept a clear head. He hurriedly picked up the dagger that fell in the sand, but the sand lizard turned around its huge body flexibly and rushed towards Han Jiang again.Han Jiang hurriedly retreated on the sand, his dagger was crushed under the sand lizard, and the real dangerous moment came. Han Jiang lost his dagger and was injured again, facing a furious giant sand lizard.

Seeing this scene, Tang Feng wanted to help Han Jiang, but he didn't know what to do. The giant sand lizard pressed on every step of the way, almost sticking to Han Jiang. It can crush Han Jiang's bones.

In desperation, Tang Feng took the dagger as a dart and threw it directly at Sand Lizard's back. The dagger hit Sand Lizard's back, but Tang Feng's strength was not enough, and the dagger hit Sand Lizard's strong back, It even bounced out.

Seeing this situation, Han Jiang closed his eyes, he knew that he was in danger this time, he didn't expect that he would die under the tail of this ugly monster, what a bad luck!

But at this critical moment, Han Jiang and Tang Feng felt that the sky seemed to be covered by dark clouds. Han Jiang opened his eyes and looked up, and it turned out to be a vulture swooping down from a low altitude, no!Han Jiang recognized that it was not a vulture, but an eagle, a real eagle.

The eagle spread its huge wings and rushed towards Han Jiang who was lying on the ground. Han Jiang closed his eyes again, but after a long time, Han Jiang didn't hear the sound of the wind and didn't feel any pain in his body. What's going on?

Han Jiang hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that the eagle had already grabbed the giant sand lizard off the ground and was flying towards the direction of the setting sun. Han Jiang heaved a sigh of relief and lay down on the sand, knowing that he was saved again , It was the eagle that saved his life!
There was no giant sand lizard, no eagle, and the deep desert was quiet again. Han Jiang knelt on the sand again, and prayed devoutly, "The master of everything on the grassland, desert, and Gobi, the great Changshengtian, thank you again!" Saved us once, I know that you will always take care of us, so please always take care of us and bring us out of this boundless desert."

Seeing that Han Jiang had suddenly become so devout, Tang Feng couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "You were so godly just now, Lord, why did you worship the Longevity Heaven again after a while, and only worship the Longevity Heaven?"

"Because only the longevity genius is the master of everything here. Those gods are easy to use in other places, but they are not as effective as the longevity god here." Han Jiang laughed.

"You are a pragmatist, and even the gods are exchanged by you. You can find any god you want!" Tang Feng ate another large piece of sand lizard meat, and now he recovered a lot of strength.

"Gods are created by humans. This is the territory of Changshengtian, so we have to worship Changshengtian!" Han Jiang finally revealed his atheist nature.
