Chapter 6 Desolate City

The green lizard ran all the way with He Ning on its back, the wind swept the yellow sand and ravaged every inch of the land behind it.

He Ning lay tightly on the green lizard's back, not daring to relax at all, the wind was in his ears, and he was absolutely sure that once he let go, he would definitely be buried in the yellow sand.

It wasn't just the green lizard that escaped, but also encountered several long-horned antelopes and several gray-black rabbits along the way.In normal times, He Ning's eyes were 100% bright, and he rushed forward to let blood one by one. Now, for the sake of being "friends in distress", it is more important to "coexist peacefully" and escape.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the wind gradually died down, and a sandy slope appeared in front of him.

The speed of the green lizard remained the same, almost running up the sand slope at a slant, and then slid down the other side at a faster speed, leaving the yellow sand and the strong wind behind.

When the green lizard stopped, He Ning's whole body was sore, especially his arms, and he fell off the green lizard's back almost stiffly, lying on his back on the yellow sand, gasping for breath with the joy of the rest of his life .

"Thanks, brother."

He Ning lay on the ground and waved to Green Lizard. Without this buddy, he would say goodbye to his 24-year life today.

The green lizard walked up to He Ning, leaned down, and opened its mouth wide, the meaning was very clear, it had to be rewarded for its efforts.

He Ning grinned, a stream of clear water refracted colorful lights in mid-air.

The appearance of the water flow attracted the animals that had fled together before. A few long-horned antelopes were watching not far away. Their front hooves stepped on the ground and their necks shook. They could be aware of the danger on the other side. It is best to run quickly. choice, but their thirst for water makes them hesitant.

He Ning took a few swigs happily, and even wet his hair with water extravagantly.Shaking his head, his face was washed out with traces of sand and soil.I haven't washed my face or showered for more than a month. It's just dirty and there are no lice. I should be thankful.

More and more animals gathered nearby, and the green lizard was still pouring water. He Ning looked around, and found that besides the antelope and rabbit, there were actually two desert wolves and a fox with big ears.

He Ning sat cross-legged on the sand, snapped his fingers, and two streams of water appeared, but smaller than the previous ones.A small antelope tentatively walked over and took a sip. There was no danger, and more animals swarmed up.Going up and grabbing it now should be fairly easy.

Touch your stomach, forget it, I'm in a good mood today, quit meat.

The sun was still scorching hot, but the green lizard He Ning held up a piece of shade.He Ning spread his five fingers and looked at the blue sky through the gaps between his fingers. His stomach was rumbling, but a smile appeared on his face.

The water flow lasted for a few minutes, then gradually disappeared, and a small piece of sand was wetted. If you look carefully, more than a dozen crustacean insects are busy in the sand.

The drinking animals left one after another, He Ning stood up, pressed his right hand on his left shoulder, and swung his left arm up and down twice, and it was no longer as sore as before.

"Go on."

It's rare to be a good person once, so much meat is placed in front of you, but you let it go abruptly.If He Ning was given another chance, maybe he would do it again.

Really stupid to smoke.

Shaking his head, it was rare to be stupid, but he was happy to be stupid.

Shaking the yellow sand on his coat, wrapping it on his head, and placing one hand on his forehead, he identified the direction and position of the sun. Here, he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, and there were two moons. Who knew the sun Where does it rise from?There is only one direction to look for, just go forward.

"Got to find something to eat."

Don't even think about the meat, at least you have to find some bark for the green lizard to chew on. It's so big that it can't help but eat.

After walking a certain distance and climbing over a sandy slope, He Ning suddenly froze.

A group of buildings half buried under the yellow sand appeared in front of his eyes.The earth-yellow city walls, standing stone pillars, and magnificent layout, even though they have been dilapidated, among the ruins, you can still find the prosperity of the past.

In the depths of the desert, there is no source of vegetation and water. Why is there such a large building complex?

He was terrified in his heart, not sure if he should go around or walk over to have a look, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him, go over, go over quickly.

The Adam's apple rolled up and down, and under the trend of curiosity, He Ning finally took a step.

"Let's go there and have a look."

The green lizard just followed He Ning forward without responding or objecting.

From a distance, the building complex seems to be very close, but it is only after walking down the sandy slope that there is still a considerable distance.It was so late that He Ning thought that everything in front of him was just a mirage. It wasn't until he stepped on a fallen earth wall that he was sure that what he saw was real.

Towering city walls, ancient buildings, broken stone pillars, and under the yellow sand blown away by the wind are streets paved with ashlar.

Squatting down, brushing away the sand on the surface of the stone, there are patterns carved on it, the craftsmanship is a little rough, and the patterns are blurred, and it can only be recognized as an animal.

He Ning frowned, and brushed away another piece of yellow sand. This time, the pattern was clearer. The animal on it had a thick body, powerful hind legs, shorter forelimbs, and a big mouth, which seemed to be breathing fire?

After watching silently for a while, He Ning raised his head and looked at the green lizard, "Dude, can you breathe fire?"

Green Lizard: "..."

He Ning: "I see."

Standing up, clapping the sand on your hands, either it is some kind of nature worship, or it is a "relative" of the buddy next to you.He can make water out of thin air, and a fire-breathing lizard is not uncommon.

Walking along the relatively complete street, I didn't see any creatures along the way, or maybe the creatures in the desert are good at camouflaging and hiding.The green lizard found a few pieces of wood, the wood was rotten, and it was probably used to build the house.

No matter how taboo, such a thing can't be eaten.

He Ning continued to walk forward, passing one house after another along the way. The walls and roofs made of sand and wood seemed to be telling stories hundreds of years ago.Thinking back, there seems to be a long and ancient music floating in my ears, the desolation in front of my eyes has turned into the prosperity of the past, the houses on the street are painted with bright colors, and the businessmen with camels pass by. Among the crowd, there are graceful The dancer, dancing enchantingly in a peculiar melody, with tassels dangling around her waist, gemstones shining on her forehead, and a light veil fluttering, is as beautiful as a dream.

The peddler is selling fruit, the aroma of the food is so tempting, three or four men are arguing, it seems that they are not satisfied with the transaction price of the camels...

Several children ran past and bumped into He Ning suddenly. The too real touch made him startled, and he regained his senses instantly. The bustling scene quickly faded away, and there was a piece of ruins in front of him again.

what happened?

I pinched myself hard, it hurt.A layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck, was he dreaming just now?His back was bumped, and when he turned his head, the green lizard was looking at him with doubts.

He Ning was startled, this place is a bit evil.Just as he was about to back out the same way, the green lizard, who had been quietly following him, suddenly raised his head, stuck out his tongue, and galloped forward.

"Hey!"

Regardless of being in a daze, and not thinking about whether it's evil or not, He Ning ran after the green lizard.We haven't been together for a long time, and he knows a little about green lizards, which can make this person so excited, besides eating, he still eats.

The speed of the green lizard was too fast, and it disappeared in a short while. He Ning could only follow the "smoke and dust", turning left and right in the ancient building, and almost lost his way.

After crossing a collapsed house wall, the eyes suddenly opened up. Tall stone pillars propped up the pointed roof. A circular pool was surrounded by the center of the stone pillars. The white bricks and stones were quite different from the surrounding building materials.

A somewhat strange sculpture stood in the pool, like a person wearing a robe, holding a disc in his hand, but the outline of the face was blurred and unrecognizable.

The green lizard was standing by the pool, biting a gray-green vine in its mouth. There were palm-sized leaves on the vine, and several thumb-sized fruits under the leaves.Turquoise, looks very inviting.

He Ning stepped forward and found that the water in the pool had not completely dried up. A trickle of water was gushing out from the lower part of the statue. Because of this, vines and moss grew by the pool.The temperature around the pool seems to be "very low", and the area surrounded by the columns seems to be a world of its own.

The green lizard tore the vine vigorously and chewed it. He Ning pulled a fruit from the vine. It was oval and hard, and the taste should be very crisp.

He Ning doesn't know what kind of plant it is, and he doesn't know whether it should grow in the desert. He just looked at this fruit and couldn't help swallowing.The green lizard is fine after eating it, so it should be non-toxic, right?

The scorpion is swallowed alive, what is a fruit?

Thinking about it this way, the first bite still only bites off a small half, without biting the core, and the flesh is extraordinarily crisp and sweet.

Swallowed it down, waited for a while, there was no abnormality in the body, He Ning sat on the ground, and ate one by one.Living in the desert for a long time, it is a luxury to eat enough, not to mention enjoying fruits.After eating it, I simply put the leaves into my mouth and chewed, and unexpectedly found that the taste was good, and the juice flowed to the chapped wound on my lips, and it was refreshing for a while.

Touch your lips, could it be medicine?

He Ning fell into deep thought, the green lizard was still eating, and after eating, he simply used his claws to dig the roots of the vines, and pulled them if he couldn't dig them.

"Don't!" He Ning hurriedly stopped the green lizard, it really didn't care if it was eaten, and dug out the root, so there would be nothing to eat in the future.

After explaining the facts and making sense, the green lizard finally no longer wanted to kill them all. The key point was that it was full and lay down by the pool without moving.He Ning patted it funny, sat cross-legged on the ground, and supported his chin with one hand. It was not easy to find such a place in the depths of the desert. Now that he had made up his mind to find a long-term foothold, such a place was indeed rare.

There is water, food, and ready-made houses.Better to clean up than live in the wild, right?

Or stay first?

It is said to be evil, or it may be an illusion caused by his hunger and dizziness?Didn't it mean that when people are unconscious, they prefer to "think wildly"?

Thinking about it, He Ning felt a little sleepy. He looked around and found no danger. He leaned on the green lizard, closed his eyes, and planned to rest for a while.

Just as he fell asleep, the trickle in the pool suddenly increased, and soon, half of the pool was filled with water.The dust on the outside of the statue in the pool began to peel off, and inside it turned out to be a silver scepter that was as long as a forearm. The black gem on the top reflected He Ning's sleeping face, and a stream of light flashed across it.
