Chapter 239 Focus on the Desert
The appearance of jade bones made Xia Houtian and others more cautious. The previous impetuous mentality no longer existed. In this way, a group of six people continued to move forward in the desert.
Three days later, the sun is still shining, the wind and sand is still fierce, and it is still a vast desert. Xia Houtian and six other people still walk slowly through it.
"Brother Xiahou, in the past three days, you and I have not been moving thousands of miles. Why is it still a vast desert without any other sign? Is it the wrong direction and deviation?"
In the past few days, in order to be cautious, Xia Houtian and others deliberately slowed down. Even so, as immortals, the people also walked thousands of miles away, but looking ahead, the wind and sand still covered the road, which made Huang De's tired heart a little sad.
"What Brother Huang said is indeed a little strange. It should have gone deep into the center of the desert, but now it seems that there is no trace, which is really puzzling!"
"Xiahou Tian, why did you stop?"
In addition to doubts, Xia Houtian couldn't help but stop. When everyone saw this, they were happy to rest for a moment. Instead, they felt something in the blue heart, which was cool and sweaty for many days under the scorching sun.
"Miss Blue Heart, there seems to be something wrong. Let me think about it."
"Xiahoutian, what's wrong? At present, except for the yellow sand, it's the scorching sun. It's really boring!"
"Sister, don't bother him. Let's go and have a rest there!"
"Okay, Sister Xin, hee hee!"
The blue heart came to the side with Zixin, and Zixin then took out a fist-sized ice blue crystal, which was particularly eye-catching in the vast desert.
Under the scorching sun, the crystal exudes a trace of cold air, which makes the blue heart's dry and hot heart cool down in an instant.
Seeing this, Qian Kun and Chen Lun quietly leaned over. A trace of cold air floated through their faces, which made them feel comfortable all over.
"What are you two doing here?"
Before the two of them could enjoy this rare coolness, Lan Xin found the two people who came forward. They looked at each other, and a smile barely piled up on their stiff faces. They replied, "Miss Zixin, what's in your hand? It's really cool."
"You two are too modest, it's just a thousand-year-old crystal!"
Although the thousand-year-old crystal is also a rare thing, it has a single function, but it is suitable for water spiritual root practitioners, so Qian Kun and Chen Lun do not pay attention to it.
"Oh? I don't know if Miss Zixin still has this thousand-year-old crystal. If possible, give us a piece. Of course, we won't ask for it for nothing. I'd like to exchange it with a spiritual stone!"
In the past three days, the two, as Jin Linggen, have been really helpless about the scorching sun. Even if they isolate the outside world with Zhenyuan, they can't last. After all, once there is an emergency, they still need to preserve their strength to deal with it, so they can only bear it secretly.
"You two are serious. Since you are in the same desert, you should help each other. Unfortunately, I only have this piece of cold crystal for a thousand years. The rest are cold and thin and useless!"
With that, Zixin took it out of the storage bag and consumed the thousand-year-old crystal in three days. On the ice-blue cold crystal, although it was surrounded by reiki, there was no cold at all. Qian Kun and Chen Lun took a glance and knew that Zixin did not lie to them.
"In this case, Miss Zixin has more rest. The two of us will go there to rest!"
"No delivery!"
In a desert, a group of six people looked different. Zixin and Lan Xin, holding a thousand-year-old crystal, looked very happy, while Qian Kun and Chen Lun were very helpless about the scorching sun because of the relationship between Jin Linggen, and sweating on their faces.
In contrast, Xia Houtian did not respond because of the operation of Qipin Liantai. He stared at the yellow sand in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking.
The most interesting thing is Huang De. Although the scorching sun is difficult, he, who is not the golden root, can bear it. He holds a long silver pot in his hand, sweet and mellow wine. In his mouthful of it, it seems that he is not taking a risk, but as if he is on vacation.
After half a sound, Xia Houtian came to his senses, gathered the crowd to his side and said, "Guys, something is wrong!"
"Oh? Brother Xiahou, what did you think of?
"Everyone thinks that at our speed, even if we deliberately slow down, can't we go to the middle of the desert in three days?"
"Yes, I'm also very strange. According to Li Fang, the desert is only a thousand miles away. Even if you and I miss the direction, we should not still be in the desert, not to mention that I have not been moving in the right direction!"
As Huang De said, everyone echoed, especially Qian Kun and Chen Lun. They really couldn't stand the desert environment, and they worked harder.
"Maybe we are in a fantasy. Even if there are three more days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the transmission array and reach the second floor!"
"What? Fantasyland? Xia Houtian, aren't you confused by this scorching sun?" Lan Xin exaggerated and wanted to touch Xia Houtian's forehead, as if he really thought that Xia Houtian was confused.
"Sister, don't mess around!"
"Okay, Sister Xin."
With that, Lan Xin stuck out his tongue at the crowd. His lovely expression also made Xia Houtian feel funny, but he didn't feel anything bad.
It turned out that Lan Xin was naive and romantic, but because of his mother's death, he fell into the mud and could not extricate himself. However, after getting the yang grass, he temporarily put down the burden in his heart, restored his nature, and got along with everyone, so every time he did something funny, it was also accepted by everyone.
"At first, I didn't believe my judgment, because all this was so real. Whether it was the heat of the scorching sun or the touch of yellow sand, it was vivid!"
"In this case, why did Brother Xiahou come to the fantasy?"
"First of all, the immortals with jade bones must be the immortals in the elixir period. Why did they fall here? Don't you think it's hard to understand?"
"Maybe he fled here in a serious fight?" Huang De thought for a moment and made a hypothesis.
"Yes, there is also this possibility, but another possibility is that he was trapped here and finally fell here!"
Xia Houtian's bold speculation shocked everyone. If the hypothesis is true, then the immortals in the Dan period have fallen here, and I'm afraid the six of them will not be able to escape bad luck.
"Brother Xiahou, are you kidding? How can it be? Brother Chen and I are Jin Linggen. We are familiar with the feeling of the scorching sun. It will never be fake. Brother Xia Hou is too worried!" Hearing Xia Houtian's speculation, Qian Kun immediately laughed and said his opinion.
As Qian Kun said, Chen Lun also nodded secretly, obviously agreeing with Qian Kun.
"Did I say that the scorching sun is fake?"
"What does Brother Xiahou mean?"
"The scorching sun is not fake, and the yellow sand is not fake. All of this is real!"
"In this case, why did Brother Xia Hou come to the fantasy?"
"I don't know if you have heard of it?"
As soon as this was said, Huang De and others shook their heads secretly. Only Zixin seemed to think of something. He hesitated again and again and then slowly said, "But the arrays are in line with each other?"
"Huh? Is Miss Zixin involved in this?
"Um, I once saw the description of the array on an ancient book. It seems to be quite popular in ancient times, but it has been lost now!"
"Yes, but think about it, the Ice Palace is the cave of the ancient great man. Is the appearance of that array reasonable? As far as I know, the array is adapted to local conditions. In the array, there is an array, which is assisted by prohibition, and the power is doubled!"
"Brother Xiahou, please excuse me for saying that if it's really like what you said, we are trapped in the array, why is there no sign of attack for several days in a row, which is quite inconsistent with the description of the array?"
After listening to what Xia Houtian said, Zixin expressed his doubts according to what he knew.
"This is also what I can't understand. Maybe the array is not dominated, maybe it's the erosion of years, and it's a little broken, but it's certain that we have been stopping for days!"
"What, it's impossible!" Huang De grew up, and the wine in his mouth almost didn't spray on Xia Houtian.
Looking at everyone's doubtful eyes, Xia Houtian pointed to a yellow sand and said, "Did you see there?"
"There is nothing there. Can this yellow sand explain anything?" Huang De reluctantly swallowed the Chinese wine and asked Xia Houtian, with a trace of puzzlement in his tone.
"When I was looking around, I suddenly found that we had been wandering around and not moving forward at all, because under the yellow sand, there was a trace of bone debris that we found three days ago!"
Everyone was shocked and walked to the place where Xia Houtian pointed. After a closer look, they found a trace of jade bone crumbs. When Xia Houtian took out the jade bone, in contrast, it was completely matched, which also showed that everyone had been spinning in place, but everyone was unaware of it.
Suddenly, there seemed to be an invisible big hand, slowly opening to the crowd. The deception in front of the desert, like a sleeping lion, I don't know when it will wake up and devour the people in the abdomen.
"No wonder Li Fang told us to be careful of the desert before leaving. It's so ingenious that even we are deeply immersed in it without knowing it. It can be imagined how clever it is. If it hadn't been for Brother Xiahou's keen eyes, I'm afraid we would have been exhausted here!"
Just as everyone was discussing, a team of immortals also stepped into the desert. The dark blue Taoist robes and the white cranes looking up to the sky showed that they were the children of the same family, and the rest of the people, faintly led by the two in the middle, slowly marching.
"Brother Zhao, do you think this desert is really the entrance to the second floor of the Ice Palace? No matter how you look at it, you can't see anything special?"
"Brother Zhang can rest assured that there will be no mistake. This is the news from Danxia Gate, and it will not be fake!"
"Oh, I'm relieved."
At the same time, many immortals who entered the Ice God Palace also gathered around the desert and stepped into it one after another. Xia Houtian and others, who were trapped in the desert, did not know that the crisis had quietly come.
The Ice Palace is not big or small, but many immortals gathered together. It is indeed a little strange. If a well-sighted person sees this, he will be surprised to find that among the many immortals, there are no Danxiamen. Will Danxiamen give up?
The answer may only be known by the people of Danxiamen, but one thing is certain that the leaders of Danxiamen for many years will certainly not make the Ice Palace fall into the hands of others. Maybe when they appear, it will be the day when the truth is revealed.
