Back to the Wilderness

There is endless yellow sand in front of your eyes, and the hot sun above your head.

On the boundless desert, there are seven people who trek like ants.

No one spoke. They had been walking in the desert for nearly ten days. The food and drinking water they carried had been exhausted three days ago. Hunger and thirst were consuming their last vitality.

Chen Ge, who was at the forefront of the team, paused in his vain footsteps. He looked forward in a daze, and changed direction hesitantly after a while.He also began to doubt his intuition that everything was good.

Fifteen days ago, Xie Cheng and Ye Feisheng each led the three of them on a journey to find the ghost vine.

Ten days ago, they entered the desert marked by Qin Hao.

Four days ago, a sudden storm disrupted all their preparations and lost most of their food and water.They were trapped under the sand dunes for four hours before escaping, and Chen Ge's keen intuition for direction judgment was also hit hard by the dizzying experience. It took two days of recuperation to recover, but he had already begun to doubt himself His intuition, he was afraid that he would take the wrong direction and cause the whole team to encounter a fatal crisis.After all, even Xie Cheng and Ye Feisheng couldn't find the exact direction in this vast desert.

According to Qin Hao, ten days is enough time for them to cross the desert and find the rainforest.In fact, they didn't even see the shadow of the rainforest.Chen Ge fell into deep self-doubt, and sometimes walked in one direction, only to realize that they had turned the direction unknowingly.The more times Chen Ge adjusted his direction, the more desperate he became.

"Wait a minute." Xie Cheng said suddenly, and the others were a little excited. Every time Xie Cheng and Ye Feisheng talked, it meant that they had found a source of food or water.

Sure enough, Xie Cheng dug up the sand, and the others quickly lay down on the ground and digged with both hands.

After a while, the sand they excavated was no longer dry and hot, but full of warm water vapor.

They all breathed a sigh of relief and sucked the wet sand into their mouths. There was no feeling of water at all, but they were still much better.

When starting again, Chen Ge said to himself: "You are a pigeon."

He thought of the countless orienteering competitions he had participated in. From the first appearance of the summer camp to the victory of the international competition, he had never lost, and winning even won was easy.Every time, he could proudly ignore the elites who came from all over the world, and even later, the number of participants in the competitions with old pigeons was unprecedentedly small, because there would be no suspense in the results.

Chen Ge's turbid eyes suddenly brightened. How could his glory be trampled by the desert?He closes his eyes and restrains his brilliance, he is a dove, he does not need eyes, there is their destination in a certain direction, and they are calling him!

Xie Cheng gently held Ji Fuyun's hand, and asked softly, "Are you afraid?"

Ji Fuyun shook his head, looking up, there was only yellow sand, and the dunes were undulating, as if there were wild beasts lurking beneath it.But he was not afraid, with Xie Cheng and Ye Feisheng, two people who had absolutely rich experience in adventure, they would not die no matter what, at most they would live a little harder.

Ji Fuyun was glad that he didn't land on this desert at first, otherwise he wouldn't need dinosaurs and beasts, and this place would be able to drive people to death.

As dusk fell, the scorching heat on the desert began to fade away, but the cold air came quietly.

But the cold is nothing to Xie Cheng and the others. Their ability to withstand cold is far superior to that of heat. Night is the best time for them to travel.

Only in the early hours of the morning did they stop to take the opportunity to rest for a few hours. Tonight, Chen Ge did not adjust his direction again. His instinct and intuition were highly excited, reaching an unprecedented peak.

When everyone woke up from the sultry and chaotic dreams, they seemed to see a figure walking towards them.

"It can't be a mirage, can it?" Gao Yiyang said in a daze, "I heard that when people are extremely tired in the desert, they will see the phantom of the oasis. But what we see is a person, what is the reason? ? Am I a Christian and have seen God?"

Ye Feisheng glanced at him like an idiot, and said to Xie Cheng, "I said you dare to bring out the mentally handicapped?"

"Who are you calling mentally retarded?" Gao Yiyang was held back by Ji Fuyun, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and could only fiercely shoot Ye Feisheng.

These two people have been arguing non-stop since they left the crater, and only in the past few days did they subside for a while, but unexpectedly it broke out again.

While speaking, the figure had already run in front of them. After seeing the appearance of Xie Cheng and the others, the excited expression on the man's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked a little unwillingly: "Who are you? You know Wu Fei ?"

Xie Cheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "We accidentally lost our way in the desert. As for Wu Fei you mentioned, we don't know him."

The man was startled, his expression lost.

Xie Cheng said: "I don't know what to call my brother, why did he appear in the desert?"

The man lost his mind and said: "My name is Pei Zihao, I'm from the nearby safety zone..." Halfway through speaking, Pei Zihao stared at Xie Cheng and his party suspiciously: "Why are you in the desert? Don't you know it's dangerous?"

Xie Cheng smiled wryly at the right time: "You don't know that there is heavy snow and ice outside, and the few of us were desperate and couldn't find food and wanted to find a new way out. Finally, we saw a place without snow and plunged in. Waiting for consciousness It's too late in the desert."

Gao Yiyang hurriedly sighed in cooperation.Before they set off, they had discussed several ways to deal with strangers. Whether it was violent suppression or devious approach, it just depended on Xie Cheng's attitude at the beginning.

"Oh." Pei Zihao has never been out of the desert, so naturally he doesn't know what's going on outside, but he doesn't have any doubts about the snow. No matter how strange the weather is, can it be more strange than there is a rainforest in the desert?

"What do you mean by the safe zone?" Ji Fuyun asked curiously, but in fact, he was already sure that Pei Zihao was from the tropical rainforest safe zone, and he couldn't help being excited when he thought that the ghost vine was so close.

Pei Zihao explained to everyone without interest: "There is a tropical rainforest in the middle of the desert. There is a relatively safe place in the rainforest. A large group of people gather there to live together."

Gao Yiyang said excitedly: "Can you take us to the safe zone?" He covered his stomach in embarrassment and pretended to be shaky, "We haven't drunk water for several days, and we are about to die of dehydration!"

Pei Zihao has obviously seen this kind of situation too much. When they first came here, they brought back many people every day. His eyes stopped on Huangfu Yixiu, and he said: "Of course I can take you there, but if you want to Well, if you go, this beauty may be in danger."

"What do you mean?"

Pei Zihao didn't say any more, but pain flashed in his eyes.In his opinion, these people have no other way to survive in the desert except to follow him, just like him back then.

"Drink some water first." Pei Zihao handed them an animal skin water bottle.

Everyone felt as if they had found a treasure, and they drank their fill happily.After Gao Yiyang poured out the last drop of water, he returned the kettle to Pei Zihao in embarrassment: "I'm so sorry, I drank all the water."

Pei Zihao took the kettle nonchalantly: "The water won't be a problem in the safe area, let's go, it's not far from here, and you can get there in an hour." He looked deeply at the direction behind everyone, except for the long yellow sand. Nothing else, he showed pain and quickly hid it.

Xie Cheng and Ye Feisheng looked at each other, it seemed that this trip was not easy.

Along the way, Xie Cheng and the others insinuated about the safety zone.Pei Zihao didn't take precautions either. From his point of view, these people are about to join the team, so it's okay to go into details.

Judging from Pei Zihao's description, this safe zone is like a tribal kingdom, and Xue Lin, the boss of the safe zone, is equivalent to a king. He is cruel, selfish and suspicious, and the whole safe zone obeys him. from.However, Xie Cheng could hear some hatred towards Xue Lin from Pei Zihao's tone.

Pei Zihao didn't mention the ghost vine, but he did mention an important message!

It turns out that they also know that this is a game world, because Xue Lin is a game player, and he is the president of the guild that Qin Hao mentioned!From the very beginning, Xue Lin relied on his game knowledge to quickly gain a firm foothold here, and with this, he recruited some masters and became a well-deserved king.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, so Xue Lin must know about the ghost vine, but they also knew that it might not be easy to get the ghost vine from Xue Lin.

Xie Cheng winked at several people, and decided everything in the long run.

Soon, they saw the edge of the rainforest.

Ji Fuyun couldn't help looking up at the sky, "Could it be that it only rains in the rainforest here?" It's really strange that the desert surrounds the rainforest.

Pei Zihao has already gotten used to it, "No matter how strange things are here, they are normal. Well, you have to be more careful when you get to the rainforest, follow my footsteps, and don't touch things that shouldn't be touched, or you won't know how to die! "

"Yeah!" Gao Yiyang responded hastily.

As soon as they entered the rainforest, the sun dimmed in an instant, the hot and humid air surged up, and the tall and luxuriant trees covered the sky, and everyone couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Pei Zihao led the way, "This road is a safe road found by many people who sacrificed a lot of people. This kind of plant is highly poisonous, so don't touch it..."

Along the way, everyone's faces were a little dignified. Pei Zihao alone mentioned a lot of highly poisonous plants, and the plants that Pei Zihao didn't mention didn't mean they weren't poisonous, it's just that he didn't know.

Ji Fuyun sighed slightly. With his knowledge, he could recognize many plants in the rainforest with many types of plants. He saw many plants that he was familiar with along the way, but this was far from enough. For the tropical rainforest, it was just a drop in the ocean.Even with his supernatural ability, finding the ghost vine is as difficult as heaven, and there is no other way except to start with Xue Lin.

"Here we are." Pei Zihao pointed to a relatively sparse and spacious place in front of him. There were several giant trees growing straight up to the sky, and more than a dozen tree houses were built on the trunks of each tree.

Xie Cheng and Ye Feisheng could see clearly at a glance that the tree houses were completely pieced together without using any nails or other fixing tools. The reason why they could sit so stably on the tree trunks must be because of the haunted vines!
