The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The speed of the sandstorm in the desert exceeded their imagination. As soon as Lu Jiuchuan finished speaking, the sandstorm tens of meters high had already arrived in front of him. Accompanied by the sandstorm, there was also a strong wind that almost destroyed everything.

The entire desert was submerged in this gust of wind, and human beings suddenly became insignificant in front of the terrifying nature.

Countless gravel hit their faces fiercely, and it became difficult for everyone to even speak, and they all covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.Before covering his mouth, Xiao Lou shouted loudly: "Come to me quickly!" As soon as he finished shouting, his mouth was filled with sand. Xiao Lou hurriedly lowered his head to spit out the sand, and then took out the compasses card.

After hearing Xiao Lou's voice, his teammates ran around him one after another.

The sandstorm tens of meters high was like Mount Tai pressing down on the top. Everyone looked at the sand wall in front of them in shock. Seeing that the sandstorm was about to engulf them, at this critical moment, the huge circle drawn by Xiao Lou, like a transparent cover, suddenly It covers an area of ​​10 square meters!

The billowing yellow sand submerged everyone in an instant, but the invisible barrier formed by the compass circle seemed to hold a huge umbrella above everyone's heads.Countless fine gravel flowed around along the barrier, but couldn't get close to them.

The people staying in the circle looked at each other in blank dismay as they watched the spectacular scene where the sky above them was quickly covered by dust.

Fortunately, Professor Xiao opened the invincible barrier in time, otherwise, they would have been buried alive by the sandstorm at this time.You know, being buried alive by tens of meters of sand is almost a dead end, because human beings can't crawl out of the sand at all. Every time you move your hands and feet, the surrounding sand will immediately pour in and surround you without any gaps. ...

The sandstorm with a height of tens of meters quickly piled up on the top of the barrier, the sun's rays were completely blocked, and the invincible circle became pitch black. Xiao Lou hurriedly used a [Night Pearl] card to illuminate the surroundings.

The new rule of this challenge level is "all cards will be voided after use".With the light of the Ye Mingzhu, the [Compass Card] and [Yu Ming Pearl Card] in Xiao Lou's hand have become a pile of card fragments, which can no longer be used.

But to help everyone survive this sandstorm crisis, the use of two cards is worthwhile.

Xiao Lou looked around and asked in a low voice, "Is everyone alright?"

The expressions on the faces of the teammates were either nervous or shocked. Fortunately, the invincible barrier stopped the sandstorm, and the people standing in the circle were not injured.However, the teammates soon discovered that Liu Qiao, Lao Mo, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue were all gone!

There are only eight people in the compass circle, four short.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Where are Lao Mo, Xiao Liu, Long Sen and Teacher Qu?"

The compass circle is only 10 square meters, and it is clear at a glance who is missing in the circle.Xiao Lou also became a little nervous: "They were standing far away from me just now. Is it because of the strong wind that they didn't hear my voice and didn't have time to walk over?"

Ye Qi said with a pale face: "Could it be swept away by the sandstorm?"

Lu Jiuchuan looked at Tang Ci seriously, and asked, "If you are buried by a sandstorm, what are the chances of surviving?"

Tang Ci looked heavy: "Ordinary human beings will die within a minute if they can't breathe. After being buried by a sandstorm, they can't crawl out within a minute... It's best not to have this kind of result, otherwise, it will be very difficult. It’s hard to save them.”

Xiao Lou hurriedly took out the team contract and checked the names on it—on the contract, the signatures of 12 people were neatly arranged page by page, and the names of Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, and Long Qu were not erased.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "At least for now, they are still alive, which means they have not been buried in the sand, maybe they just got separated?"

The sandstorm is not over yet, and Xiao Lou is clearly aware that the wind blowing the dust in the sky above his head is getting faster and faster, and it seems that a tornado has formed. Once Liu Qiao and the others are swept away by the tornado, it will be difficult to find them up.

The size of the desert was beyond their imagination.

Maybe when the wind stops, the four of Liu Qiao will be swept hundreds of kilometers away.

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "When they are really swept away, it will be difficult to reunite. We must find them as soon as possible."

Shao Qingge took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile: "I'll go find it."

Ye Qi grabbed his clothes nervously: "It's too dangerous for you to go alone..."

Facing Ye Qi's worried eyes, Shao Qingge couldn't help stretching out his hand, rubbed Ye Qi's head lightly, and said, "Don't worry, I'm in the state of insect king now, and the transformation can last about 20 hours. This bit of sand can’t hurt me at all, it’s safest to let me go.”

Ye Qi said seriously: "You go alone, are you sure you won't get lost and lose yourself too?"

Shao Qingge: "..."

Can you not tear down my desk!

But what Ye Qi said made sense, Shao Qingge's sense of direction was really bad, the possibility of getting lost in the desert was as high as 99%.

Xiao Lou agreed and said: "Mr. Shao can't look for people. If you don't find them, you will get lost too. Wouldn't it be more troublesome?"

Shao Qingge shrugged helplessly: "Okay, what do you think should be done?"

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and said: "I have an idea, just open the teleportation to bring the four of them back. We have two Tao Yuanming and two Li Qingzhao, and Li Qingzhao's mark can be modified 5 times, which should be enough."

Between Taohuayuan teleportation and mark teleportation, Xiao Lou decided to choose the latter.

Although Taohuayuan is safer and lasts for 3 hours, the disadvantage of Taohuayuan is that the entrance and exit are at the same place, and the compass circle is safe now, but unfortunately it is only valid for 10 minutes. They come out of Taohuayuan after 3 hours and walk to This place has to face the risk of being "buried alive by a large amount of sand and dust".

It is very difficult for a person to climb out from under the dust of tens of meters, and it is estimated that halfway through the climb will suffocate.

But Li Qingzhao's mark, because it can be modified, can wait until the end of the compasses, let Mr. Shao, who is not afraid of suffocation, go out alone, find a safe place, modify the mark, and then pull everyone back to the ground.

With this in mind, Xiao Lou took out a photo of Li Qing, put a mark in the compass circle, and said, "No matter where they are blown away, as long as they are still in the same secret room, you can use the mark to pull people here."

Everyone agreed with Professor Xiao's idea - sending someone to look for it would definitely be safer and quicker than pulling someone back.

After 5 minutes passed, Xiao Lou activated the teleportation of team markers.

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue soon appeared in front of the crowd, both of them were shocked.

Qu Wanyue's long hair was covered with sand, and she looked very embarrassed. While arranging her hair, she said, "Professor Xiao yelled something just now, but I didn't hear it clearly, and was blown away by the strong wind."

Long Sen said with a pale face, "I was scared to death! We were swept up by the sandstorm to a height of more than 50 meters. Fortunately, we reacted quickly enough. We directly opened the Chameleon card and merged with the sand before slowly falling back to the ground."

Xiao Lou said: "It's fine."

He looked around and found that Liu Qiao and Lao Mo still hadn't appeared. Xiao Lou couldn't help but change his face, and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Qu, have you seen Liu Qiao and Lao Mo?"

Qu Wanyue shook her head: "I didn't see it. The wind and sand were too heavy just now, and the visibility was less than 5 meters. I couldn't see anything clearly outside. The teleportation prompt popped up in the floating frame, and I came back here."

Long Sen scratched the back of his head, and suddenly said: "I seem to hear Xiao Liu's voice, she is calling, Uncle Mo be careful."

Just now, Long Sen was standing relatively close to Liu Qiao and Lao Mo. When the strong wind blew over, he vaguely heard Liu Qiao's shouting. As for the specific content, he couldn't hear it very clearly.

Long Sen said apologetically, "The tornado came too fast, and when I turned my head, everyone was gone."

Qu Wanyue looked around and soon realized that something might have happened to Xiao Liu and Lao Mo.

She looked at Xiao Lou worriedly: "Professor Xiao, Xiaoqiao and Lao Mo, wouldn't they be swept away by the tornado?"

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.

At present, it seems that Liu Qiao and Lao Mo are in danger.

Although their names were still on the contract, proving that they were still alive, they did not respond to Xiao Lou's teleportation call.

The card summoning window will pop up directly in the floating frame. As long as Liu Qiao and Lao Mo are awake, they can instantly come to Xiao Lou's side by pressing "Agree to send". Under such a dangerous situation, they have no reason not to accept it. Teleport the call.

Unless it is, they lose consciousness.

It is still unknown whether they can wake up from a coma in such a terrible sandstorm.

What if it is blown hundreds of kilometers away by strong winds and buried?That is really not to see people alive, and not to see dead bodies!

Xiao Lou clenched his fist lightly.

Yu Hanjiang pressed his shoulders and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, Liu Qiao is so smart, and Lao Mo has a strong sense of direction. Although they lost consciousness, they might wake up soon... as long as they wake up, They can survive."

Xiao Lou nodded: "I know, I hope they're okay."

Although everyone was worried, the sandstorm hadn't passed yet, so they couldn't leave the compass barrier rashly.Xiao Lou took a deep breath and quickly calmed down, handed the [Li Qingzhao] card to Shao Qingge, and said, "Mr. Send it over, everyone."

Shao Qingge nodded: "Understood, wait for me to pull you."

He gave everyone a "reassuring" look, and kicked his legs slightly on the sand. At this moment, the Zerg's jumping ability reached its peak. In the world, like a fish entering the deep sea, he flexibly stretched out his hands and burrowed into the sand.

The others were waiting in place, and since Liu Qiao and Lao Mo were still missing, everyone's expressions were not very good-looking.

Xiao Lou forcibly stabilized his emotions, and sent the team voice headset to everyone.

Although the card is useless after use, as long as the voice headset is kept in everyone's ears, the communication can be maintained all the time. Of course, the communication range is still 10 kilometers.

Xiao Lou held down the headset and said, "The sandstorm is just a meeting gift from the twin kings, and there may be greater dangers in the future. Everyone, keep close and don't get separated."

Seeing that the invincibility time of the compasses is getting shorter and shorter, if Shao Qingge does not teleport, once the 10 minutes of invincibility of the compasses ends, the mountain of sand above the barrier will collapse instantly, burying them alive.

Although Xiao Lou is impatient, he can only trust Mr. Shao.

Shao Qingge not only used the climbing and jumping abilities of the Zerg to crawl in the sand, he climbed for 1 minute, and as soon as he jumped out of the ground, he began to use the teleportation card to quickly teleport in the opposite direction of the sandstorm.

Teleporting 50 meters per second, this speed is not inferior to the sandstorm. After only 3 minutes, Shao Qingge got rid of the influence of the sandstorm and came to a vast open space.

He looked up into the distance.

The weather here is very good, and there is no trace of a sandstorm.There is no cloud in the blue sky, and in the distance, a clear lake is like a mirror that God put in the desert, reflecting the vibrant green plants around.

By the lake, some beautiful girls in the folk costumes of the Western Regions are gathering and dancing.There are also some shirtless young men walking around on camels carrying some strange goods.

In a very lively town, there is such an oasis in the vast desert?

Shao Qingge didn't hesitate any longer, modified Li Qingzhao's mark, and pulled his teammates over.

After receiving the transmission, the seven members of Xiao Lou immediately pressed agree and appeared beside Shao Qingge in an instant.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Qi said excitedly, "Great, there is an oasis in the desert, we don't have to worry about water or food shortages, why don't we go to this small town for three days!"

Xiao Lou nodded and said, "Okay, although there may be hunters ambushing in the small town, it's better than wandering aimlessly in the vast desert, lacking water and food."

They don't want to experience the scorching sun again, and the sandstorm that may appear at any time also makes everyone frightened.

The oasis in the desert is so beautiful.The clear water of the lake made everyone thirsty. It would be great if we could get clean water here...

Everyone looked at each other and walked towards the oasis side by side.

After walking for about 5 minutes, Ye Qi couldn't help wondering: "Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Long Sen also scratched his head in confusion: "It looks pretty close, just a few hundred meters ahead, but we've been walking for almost 5 minutes, how does it feel like this oasis...is still a few hundred meters ahead ?”

Qu Wanyue looked serious: "That's right, if we walk a few steps, the town will take a few steps back, as if it's always moving."

Yu Hanjiang suddenly stopped and said sharply, "Get out!"

Xiao Lou also came to his senses, and said with a sullen face, "There is no town in front of us, it's a mirage."

Mirage, a strange landscape in the desert.

You can clearly see some beautiful landscapes not far ahead, but you can't get close to them.

For it is an illusion cast by light.

Like a rainbow in the sky, it can be seen but not touched.

It is said that people who encounter mirages will never get out of this desert.
