311 Desert Wind

Looking at the desolation around him, Lin Fan frowned deeply. Although he had heard the vast yellow sand in the west before, which was extremely desolate, only when he really set foot in this area can he truly understand what the so-called desolation is. There seems to be no sign of life here. Lin Fan couldn't help but be shocked to remember that he had been burned into a desert by the blood-crying sword spirit before. At that time, I thought that the desert was surprising enough. I never thought that compared with here, it could not be called a desert at all, but only a piece of sand.

"Oh, it's really not fun here. Except for the sand, it's a barren mountain..." Just as Lin Fan was secretly meditating, Dawei's milky voice sounded. Hearing the huge power call the Gobi Desert in the distance a barren mountain, Lin Fan couldn't help laughing, but looking carefully, the tall Gobi beach is indeed like a wilderness. Mountain, and if you look carefully, you will find that the Gobi Desert here is extremely strange and shows a thousand postures. Some are like an inverted iron pot, some are like roaring giant beasts with their mouths open, and some are like a city gates, with a variety of shapes.

After a shivering from the wrinkled power, Lin Fan smiled and said, "Little guy, we're not here to play, we're here to do business!" While talking, Lin Fan continued to narrow his eyes and look into the distance. Although he knew that there was mostly no hope, he still expected to find some signs of life.

"Hum! Who said you can't play when you are in business? Do you want to combine work and rest? Rubbing the place where Lin Fan trembled, Dawei muttered with an unlucky face. Lin Fan shook his head with a smile, but ignored it. Dawei saw that the blood-crying sword spirit and the three-legged golden black also looked around curiously, muttered a few words in unclear ways, and then observed it.

Looking around, in addition to the yellow or red sand, it is a high or low continuous Gobi beach. In addition, you can also see some strange plants sporadically. These plants look very tough and don't have many leaves, while some plants have needle-shaped leaves. Lin Fan knows that this is the best way to preserve water in deserts that are extremely short of water. In addition, some plant branches are strong and covered. Although they are not tall, and even the color is a little gray, they emit strong vitality. Under Lin Fan's divine eyes, there is almost nothing that can escape his eyes. However, no trace of animals was found, which made Lin Fan mutter in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Lin Fan turned his head to look at the blood crying sword spirit and the three-legged Jinwu and said, "Let's continue to go west to see if we can see the original residents here, and then inquire about the situation in the western desert..."

Naturally, the two beasts have no objection to Lin Fan's proposal. As for Dawei, it is bound to follow Lin Fan wherever he goes. Lin Fan patted the three-legged Jinwu, and the body of the three-legged Jinwu suddenly enlarged. Lin Fan and the blood-crying sword spirit jumped and sat on its back. The three-legged Jinwu let out a soft sound, and then flew to the sky and flew to the west. Lin Fan sat on the back of the three-legged golden black, condescendingly and looked at the area. He had to sigh that nature was indeed a magic work. In this desert, it actually engraved a magnificent scene. The red and yellow desert, the towering Gobi with different shapes, various strange plants flashing from time to time, and even saw some white peaks, all of which made Lin Fan novel.

"Hmm?" Just as Lin Fan sighed, his eyes suddenly paused and stared at a moving black line in front of him. When his eyes turned slightly, he found that it was actually a caravan. With joy in his heart, Lin Fan immediately pointed to that direction, and the three-legged Jinwu immediately flew there. Before long, he could see it clearly. It was a camel caravan of about 20 or 30 people, dressed in white robes, moving slowly in the desert.

As Lin Fan's mind turned, the three-legged Jinwu fell to the ground, and then Lin Fan walked towards the caravan. It didn't take long to get close to the caravan.

As early as when Lin Fan was flying in the air, the group of people in the caravan had already noticed him. At this moment, when they saw him walking towards his party, the group immediately stopped and crowded together with each other. Although they pretended to be calm, they could still see their panic. Lin Fan smiled. He has seen that these people are all mortals who have no cultivation skills. It is understandable that they are afraid to see themselves riding in the three-legged golden sky.

With a sincere smile on his face, Lin Fan walked to an elder who looked slightly old and saluted, "Old man, I came to Ximo from other places and got lost. I wonder if I can walk with you?" When speaking, Lin Fan always had a smile on his face and looked at the elder naturally and peacefully.

The elder looked at Lin Fan's smile. Although he was still afraid, he was finally three points less. He turned his head and whispered a few words to a group of people, then turned around and nodded to Lin Fan and said, "Yes, you can follow us. About one day, you can return to our oasis tomorrow. "

Hearing the old man's words, Lin Fan smiled and arched his hand again, standing beside the elder and walked with him. The caravan continued to set out and returned to its previous orderly appearance. The camel bells rang and looked empty and desolate in the whole desert.

Lin Fan followed the elders, talked with them all the way, and asked about some matters in the desert. Before long, Lin Fan learned that this was not a caravan. They were all native residents of the West Desert, but the West Desert was extremely desolate. Unlike other regions, big cities were everywhere. It is often a large city stationed in a dense oasis. Those caravans that come and go from other places gather their belongings in the big city. If the original residents want something, they need to exchange it in the big city. And this group of people have gone to Yancheng in exchange for what they need. After calculation, they have been going back and forth for three months. Lin Fan was shocked to hear it. Three months are exchanged for items, and a quarter of a year is spent in the desert. It's shocking to think about it.

"In fact, the days of walking in the desert are often more than three months. At other times of the year, in case of a severe drought, we often have to go around to find water sources. In this way, we have to walk in the desert for at least four or five months a year to more than half a year." A middle-aged man with a beard smiled, then took a look at Lin Fan, then took a look at the arrogant three-legged Jinwu and a lazy blood-crying sword spirit on his back, and said curiously, "Little brother, forgive me for talking too much, are you the legendary fairy?"

"Fairy?" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lin Fan was stunned and subconsciously repeated.

"Raji, don't talk too much!" As soon as he saw Lin Fan's expression, the elder known as Uncle Mu's face suddenly changed, turned his head and scolded at the middle-aged man. Then he turned his head to look at Lin Fan with an apologeting face. Lin Fan had already smiled and said, "Uncle, I guess the immortal you are talking about is a monk? That's good. I'm indeed a monk.

Ah? What a fairy! Uncle Mu, aren't we..." As soon as Raj heard Lin Fan's words, his eyes suddenly radiated a light of hope. He turned his head to look at Uncle Mu, but was stared back by him. Lin Fan saw their appearance and knew that they must have something to do, but it seemed that since they didn't say anything, they smiled and didn't say anything.

Seeing Lin Fan's appearance, Uncle Mu squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Brother, Rajdo's mouth, in fact, there are some small problems in our oasis, but there are really unspeakable secrets."

"Mr. Mu, leave you. My name is Lin Fan. Just call my name directly. If you don't want to say it, I won't ask more." Lin Fan cut off Uncle Mu's words and opened his mouth with a smile, and at this moment, a milky voice suddenly sounded.

"Hum! Just open your mouth. If there is anything big, I will solve it for you!"

Hearing this sound, Lin Fan suddenly had a black line in his head. He raised his eyes and suddenly rolled his eyes. I don't know when Dawei had squatted on the shoulder of a young man who looked only ten years old and was drinking a cup of something that emitted a faint fragrance.

"Great Power!" Lin Fan shouted softly, but immediately sounded a childish voice.

Ah? Can you talk?"

"Hum! That is! Let me tell you, I'm very good at it!"

Lin Fan looked at Dawei playing a treasure on the shoulder of the childish young man, rolled his eyes, simply ignored it, turned his head and looked at Uncle Mu and Raj with a stunned face and said, "This little guy is a little naughty, don't mind..."

"No, no!" Before Lin Fan finished speaking, Raj waved his hand repeatedly, with a sincere smile on his dark face, and his eyes looked at Uncle Mu from time to time, in which a light of hope flashed.

Lin Fan smiled and continued to talk to them to expand his knowledge about the desert. Along the way, the red sun has fallen to the west, and a large area of red clouds have fallen on the desert. The afterglow pulls the shadows of everyone for a long time, the camel bells are long, and the songs are desolate, making the desert at this time has a tragedy.

"Brother, let's rest here today and move on the road tomorrow..." Raj pointed to a Gobi Desert in the distance, turned his head and opened his mouth to Lin Fan, and then explained, "In the desert, it is often easy to blow strong at night, and you must hide in a breeze place. Otherwise, you may be The sand is buried alive!"

"Is it so horrible?" Hearing Raj's words, Lin Fan was really shocked, "Can't you avoid it?"

"The winds in the desert are not like the winds elsewhere! In the wind, it is full of sand. As long as it is slightly next to it, it will be immediately submerged, and there is no time to hide!" Speaking of the strong wind in the desert, Uncle Mu also sighed and was afraid. He paused for a moment and said, "Moreover, there are often unclean things in the wind. Not to mention ordinary people, even practitioners often suffer!" Speaking of this, Raj, who had never changed his face, also turned pale and looked around with fear, as if he was afraid that something bad would suddenly appear.

Lin Fan nodded and knew more about Ximo.

While speaking, the crowd had come to the Gobi Desert. Raj called several people, skillfully tested the surrounding terrain, and then chose several places as resting places that night. At this time, the sky has completely darkened.

The temperature difference in the desert is very large. It is hot during the day, as if it can roast people, but at night, it is cold again. It needs to make a fire to resist the cold.

A group of people gathered around the fire, ate hot dry food, drank water carefully, and talked at the same time, but did not make much noise. After Raj's explanation, Lin Fan knew that there was a dead silence in the desert during the day, but at night, those poisons hidden underground would come out for food. In case of encountering, it would be more or less auspicious for ordinary people, and even some poisons already had some climate, and it was often difficult to avoid those who were slightly weak.

While talking, Uncle Mu, who had been looking at everyone talking with a faint smile, suddenly changed his face, stretched out his hand to wave to the air, and sniffed it. The next moment, his face changed greatly.

When they saw Uncle Mu's action of fishing for the wind, everyone felt something was wrong. At this moment, when they saw Uncle Mu's face changing, they immediately understood that something bad had happened.

"Hurry up and get ready to avoid. There is a strong wind coming this way, and there is a fierce smell in this wind. I'm afraid there are bad things..." Uncle Mu's face was solemn and he ordered in a low voice.

Hearing what Uncle Mu said, everyone's faces suddenly became solemn and did not panic at all, so they began to make preparations to unload the goods and gather them to a place surrounded by heavy Gobi beaches, and then drove all the camels to one place, tightly surrounding the goods, and some people pulled out a lot of cloth * and gave them to the crowd. After Raje's explanation, Lin Fan knew that when the long yellow sand blows, if you don't block your mouth, nose and ears, you will often be filled with yellow sand, and you will suffocate and die after a little longer.

Almost as soon as everyone was ready to talk, everyone felt the atmosphere of the whole world change. Between the breeze, there was a faint fierce air flowing out. Everyone did not hesitate at all, stuffed their ears and noses with cloth strips, and then snuggled tightly to the camel and lay down.

Lin Fan went to the distance with a careful feeling. In an instant, his face moved, and he could sense that an extremely fierce black wind was rushing in their direction, and there was even a faint roar. The night, the desert, and the strong wind look dark, which itself has illustrated the problem. In particular, the uneasy roar made Lin Fan feel uneasy.
