Chapter 48

In the afternoon, the sun is not as hot as noon, but it is still unbearable.

A teenager slowly climbed to the top of a low dune.

He started the climb from the back of the dune, obviously going over the dune.

He has a sword in his hand, with a wooden handle and a strange blade, full of shoddy quality.The young man is using this long sword as a crutch to help him move forward.

The boy's stature is thin and not strong.

He was wearing hemp underwear, long trousers and long sleeves, but he was barefoot.

His head was still covered with a layer of clothing, and his nose and mouth were tightly covered, but his eyes were greatly exposed, and he also had blond hair on his forehead.

It is needle gold.

The top of the dune is just a few steps away, and the sun shines over it, causing Zhu Jin to narrow his eyes.

He deliberately exposed his eyes, knowing that he had to maintain a good vision, and at the same time mobilized his sense of hearing, smell, and touch along the way, to be alert to predators that might attack anytime, anywhere.

The sun is very dazzling, and there are still some spots in the squinted eyes of the needle gold.

Zhen Jin didn't turn over directly, but stopped very close to the top of the dune. After his eyes really got used to it, he continued to climb over.

No danger was found, and Zhenjin stood at the top of the dune and looked into the distance.

The desert in front of him was gentle, unlike the undulating sand dunes behind him.

The young man couldn't help but sigh.

This meant that he had to trek hard under the torment of the sun.

The boy's eyes are also very good-looking, with a blue color, like the sky after the rain.The confusion in his eyes is fleeting, and it is the meaning of persistence.

"Keep going."

Zhu Jin said to himself, and suddenly his blue eyes suddenly lit up.

“There is food!”

Having practiced vindictiveness, his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people. He found a spider not far away, rolling down the sand dune along the wind.

Needle Jin hurried down and caught the spider without much effort.

This spider is the size of two adult thumbs combined, and its body is yellow-brown, which is very similar to the color of sand, but it was still discovered by the keen eyes of Zhenjin.

The spider has eight legs, but they all curl up and make the body into a ball.Then follow the wind and the spider can roll down the dunes with ease.

If you want to let it walk on its own legs, it will be much more laborious.

In this barren desert, life has its own unique survival skills.Conservation of physical strength is undoubtedly one of the most significant ones.

Zhen Jin pinched off the spider's head, then shook his hands, shaking off all the sand on the spider's body.

After that, he put the spider directly into his mouth, chewed it with his teeth, and after it became very fine, he rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed it completely.

Pinch off the head of the spider to remove the poison.Of course, this little life has a weak aura, and it is very different from the bronze level. Even if it is poisonous, it will not be poisoned, at least it is silver-level needle gold.But the boy didn't want to add other burdens to his body at all.

The taste of the spider is not very good, there is no baking, and there is no seasoning. There is a strange smell in the mouth, throat, and nasal cavity of the needle gold.

The spider's arthropods taste very crisp, like thin branches.

Needle gold aftertaste for a while, this crisp taste is similar to other small insects.

This little spider was not the first one he served as food.

Along the way, he also encountered several others sporadically.

There are spiders, scorpions, and those who can't be named. Spiders have their heads removed, and scorpions have their tails.

Every time he eats, he has a feeling of nausea and vomiting.

But he will never underestimate these little lives.

He knew very well in his heart that these little beings were very important water and food supplements.

After walking in the desert for a long time, Zhu Jin had already discovered: he did not encounter any edible plants, but it was easier to find some small creatures.

These little creatures have very little meat, and the most valuable thing is to hydrate the needles.

Zhenjin treasures these foods very much.

Although these bits and pieces of food are very small, the accumulation of these bits and pieces may be the basis for him to successfully walk out of the desert later.

"If I don't cherish these foods, maybe I will be able to get out of here in the future, but I ended up in the desert."

"I really hope to meet a cactus." Zhen Jin sighed.

On this journey, he also encountered some sporadic plants.

But unfortunately, there are no cacti.

These plants are also small and short, and Zhenjin doesn't know what species it is and whether it can be eaten.

He tried.

After carefully avoiding the needle-like sharp branches and leaves, he found that the roots of the plants were deeply rooted in the depths of the desert underground.

Such a root system allows plants to absorb a little water from the desert ground, but it also makes it difficult for needle gold to be excavated.

After Zhujin tried it, he decided to give up decisively and wisely.

Even if dug up, the roots of this plant are not necessarily food.Needle Gold does not know the species of this plant.

Many times, he has to calculate the consumption and possible gains, patiently compare the results of the two, and then think calmly and make a decision.

Obviously, the risk of digging up a plant that you don't even know is too great!
In the end, Zhenjin chose to give up.

This choice is actually very difficult.

Every time I leave a desert plant, needle gold will fall into a kind of doubt - am I doing something wrong?Perhaps, this is an opportunity specially arranged by the gods to help me out of the predicament.But I chose to give up.

Zhen Jin felt like a student in the academy, working on a test paper that was related to his life and death. He kept answering the questions, but no one gave him the correct answer to each question.

Time passed, and the sun slowly set in the west.

In the evening, Sunshine is like a rude man who vents his anger through violent fights. At this moment, his cursing and beatings are weak, giving people the illusion of tenderness.

The temperature in the air also became suitable, but it was still extremely dry, and Zhen Jin began to speed up his pace consciously.

He needs to walk as much as possible at this time to make up for the previous losses.

When the sun gradually sets on the horizon, the afterglow of the setting sun and the sunset on the horizon look beautiful.

But this kind of beauty, Zhen Jin simply can't appreciate it.

He just thought it was like an ultimatum or warning from the sun - boy, let you go for now.Tomorrow I will come and continue to torture you!

At this time, the air temperature drops rapidly, and the rate of decrease is very fast.

Zhen Jin began to feel the thinness of his clothes, and a strong chill hit him, which made him shiver.

The young man's heart sank slightly.

The temperature difference in this desert is huge, and it exceeds his previous estimates.

This is also a test for him.

"Although I can bear it now, in the later stage, after my physical condition declines, this temperature difference may become a death blackmail on my neck."

This is a possible threat in the future, and what today's teenagers want most is hunger and thirst.

The feeling of hunger and thirst is worse than when I just woke up.

How can the little creatures found along the way fill the stomach of needle gold.In fact, it's more of a psychological comfort than food.

Fortunately, Zhenjin was not attacked by powerful predators on his way during the day.But this is also unfortunate, which means that he has no chance of harvesting a lot of food.

At this time, there was a special "scarf" around his neck, which was the corpse of the desert viper that was killed before.

The teenager touched the scales of the snake "affectionately" with his fingers.

A cold touch came from his fingertips, but in his heart, this coldness turned into a warm feeling.

This is the only food left in Zhenjin's hands, and he deliberately preserved it.

On the one hand, as long as it is there, there is hope in Zhenjin's heart.

On the other hand, needle gold is also alert to the risks.Eating large amounts of food rashly will also deplete the body of water.

As for the fact that the Viper is a poisonous snake, it is secondary.

The body structure of the viper determines that its venom gland is in the snake head.Once the snake's head is pinched off, the poison is basically gone.

According to the physique of needle gold, even if it is poisoned, it is not afraid of the poison of this ordinary beast.

"But it's better to make a fire and then bake it. After all, this island is strange and dangerous, and it can't be viewed with ordinary eyes. Maybe such a snake is full of poison? If so, my situation at this moment is no different than Take the initiative to put the scythe of the god of death on my neck."

When the sun in the sky completely disappeared, night fell.

"This day has passed." Zhen Jin looked at the deep and vast sky, and there was another daze, and panic emerged in his heart again.

The situation he is in now is dangerous and difficult.

During the day, the sun, which he hated and hated, actually gave him a good vision.And now in the darkness, there will be more predators.

Zhen Jin took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down again.

Then he was delighted to find that he really succeeded!

With the first tempering, he seems to have made a qualitative leap in stabilizing his mood.

He didn't even need to pray.

He is now on his own to keep his composure.

Of course, he also knew the results of prayer.He didn't have much expectation for Emperor Shengming to respond to him.

In the middle of the night, the temperature was very low, and clumps of white air began to be exhaled from Zhen Jin's mouth and nose.

Biting cold.

Hunger intensified, making the teenager suffer.

His stomach was already protesting, making a grumbling sound.

But thirst feels more than hunger.

Zhen Jin felt that his throat was smoking. If there was a lake, he wished he could immerse himself in it, swim and drink.

Too little water added.

Zhenjin originally hoped for some plants in the desert, but this hope was dashed.

He didn't even see the shadow of a cactus.

There is no moon tonight, the sky is full of stars.

Zhen Jin looked up at the starry sky, and felt that the starlight transmitted ruthlessness and indifference, as if watching him slowly leading to a dead end.

He tried to identify and tried to rely on the astrological signs to prove his direction, but he failed.

In this regard, he did not dabble, and was completely a layman.

Because of the correct strategy during the day, he still has a lot of physical energy left.

The teenager continued to trek alone in the desert under the starry night.

Unconsciously, the dunes began to appear beside Zhenjin again.

"What is that?" In the blurred vision, Zhen Jin found a beast shadow entrenched in the dune's waist.
