The wind immediately intensified, and the sand for dozens of miles around was blown wildly, turning into billowing waves of sand that roared in, adding to the power of the tornado. At this moment it was clear that the tornado was approaching, and at the next moment the boiling sand had obscured the sky and the sun, making it impossible to see anything more than a few feet away.
The camels were all prostrate on the sand, and the people were clinging to anything that could keep them on the ground to resist the almost overwhelming and terrifying force.
The wind is becoming more and more fierce, short and strong, and the force can't help increasing. It hits the sand grains headlessly, submerging all the people and camels in the ocean of sand.
The sea of ??sand, once as peaceful as death, has become a furious demon king, vowing to destroy any creature that steps into it.
Long Ying was the only one who could still grasp the location of the tornado. When the tornado was still three or four miles away from them, its center moved to the north. If it struck head-on, even he couldn't predict the consequences.
"If he hadn't noticed the tornado coming in advance and continued to move forward, he would have been intercepted by the tornado. In that case, it would be a miracle to survive.
The sand came from all directions like a rainstorm, and it hurt like hell when it hit my back. In this violent world, humans and animals are so isolated and helpless. They can only struggle with their own strength. No matter how many people are around, they can't make any difference. No one dared to lift a little higher, because as soon as he lifted his body, he would be pulled up like a straw for a long time.
Everyone curled up and lay on the ground consciously, while the camels buried their heads in their chests. However, the surrounding sand quickly piled up around them. If this continues, if the tornado lingers, the sand will bury the entire brigade alive, but no one can deal with it. The only way to do this is to leave it to fate.
They are like blind and deaf people. Their only feeling comes from the endless and never-ending impact of the rolling wind and sand. They are no longer aware of anything happening outside themselves. They silently endure the torment of the strong sand and wind, and endure the torment of the "Sea of ??Death". Roaring and roaring.
Suddenly the wind calmed down a bit. When he breathed a sigh of relief, Longying used his magic energy and shouted wildly: "The tornado is back again."
Suddenly the wind blew up again, even more violent than the last time. At this moment, the woman screamed, and everyone screamed that something was wrong, but they couldn't protect themselves, and they didn't know the direction and location of the tragedy. No one dared to move a finger.
The sound came into Long Ying's spiritual ears from the rear left. Just from the change of the sound, he knew that someone was being pulled up into the sky. He no longer had time to think about why such a thing happened. He also knew that if he hesitated a little, the woman would be swept away. He also knew that Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting beside him were about to take risks to save others, so they hurriedly released their hold on the camel. An An's hands first pressed on each of them to prevent them from taking any action they intended to take. He entered the ultimate realm of magic and instantly calculated the location of the tornado and the wind and sand driven by it. Cast Ejection and shoot towards the screaming place like an arrow.
The dragon eagle breaks through the sand and shoots upward in the wind. Every foot has to endure the pain of being blown by the wind and sand, knowing that the chance to save people is fleeting. I will never look back, so I will try my best to eject this time.
The next moment, he was holding a plump woman's breasts and throwing her down from a height of five feet. Even though he pushed his magic power to the limit and used the technique of a thousand-jin falling, he also added the weight of the woman. Still being carried away by the violent whirlwind, he fell onto the sand far away from the camel formation.
Without the protection of the camel wall, the only thing we have is the wildly flying sand. The sand surface is usually loose and soft. Every time we take a step, our feet sink. At this time, it becomes more like a sandy ocean with turbulent waves. A feeling of no substance.
He had smelled from her breath that she was Mrs. Rainbow, who was in a semi-conscious state. She only knew how to hug him tightly. Although she hugged her full, he had no intention of enjoying it. He pressed her into the flowing sand and buried her head and face. On his chest and neck, his limbs were spread out, and he was sucking the ground tight, fighting against the terrifying force that would drag him on for a long time at any time.
Fortunately, this tornado came and went quickly. The wind gradually subsided, and the sand fell heavily in the big puff. Long Ying hugged her and sat up from the sand. The sand and dust on her head poured down like water, and the lower bodies of the two of them were still buried in the sand. Extremely dangerous.
The surroundings were still blurry and filled with sand. Dragon Eagle removed the sand attached to Mrs. Rainbow's eyelids and said, "It's okay!"
Mrs. Rainbow opened her eyes in shock and saw Long Ying's ugly face. She still couldn't figure out what happened for a while. After thinking about it, she burst into tears and fell into Long Ying's arms again. .
Long Ying knew that she was too frightened, so he reached out and stroked her dusty jade back soothingly, thinking that she must ask for a bath. At this time, most of the sand grains have been scattered back to the ground, and the tornado sand has disappeared without a trace. Looking around, I immediately called to my mother.
The camel team was actually more than half a mile away, surrounded by various items, including water bottles, clothes, shoes, and hats, half buried in the sand, which was a spectacle.
Longying stood up with Mrs. Rainbow in his arms, patted her face and said, "Go back! Don't let them worry."
He leaned into her ear and said, "Madam, your body is great."
This time, everyone was truly disgraced and exhausted. They had lost half a day of their trip and had to pick up everything they could find.
The poisonous hot sun appeared in the western sky as if nothing had happened. The sand was as hot as usual, and even the usual breeze disappeared. The contrast between movement and stillness made people tremble with fear. I don¡¯t know at what moment, the "Sea of ??Death" will appear. Suddenly his face changed.
In this dead zone, which is like a big oven without any life, what is even more uncomfortable is that when sweat beads emerge from the skin again, the outside of the clothes and underwear are covered with sand. It is a torture that ordinary people can endure. The only thing that can save you is water. , even Longying longed to take a refreshing cold bath, but of course he could only imagine it in his head.
When Long Ying led Madam Rainbow back to the camel caravan, overjoyed Zhuang Wen, Feng Mo and more than a dozen people came straight over. Two pretty female soldiers who served Madam Rainbow greeted her and cast a grateful look at Long Ying. It was Mrs. Rainbow who never looked at her savior again.
Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting sat on a big box and waved to him. In the entire team, they were the only two who knew that Long Ying would be able to rescue the evil girl. Others believed that only a miracle would give them a chance to survive.
Zhuang Wen grabbed his arm and said gratefully: "Fortunately, you took action to save Caihong, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the king."
Feng Mo on the other side looked at him with a surprised look and said: "Brother Di is indeed a strange person. Under that kind of wind, he can still use his body skills to intercept Madam at high altitude. Otherwise, even if Madam is not torn apart by the cyclone, she will be killed." I don¡¯t know how far it was blown.¡±
Long Ying spat out a mouthful of saliva that was mixed with the sand, and said easily: "It's a small thing, just a little effort. Fortunately, I have encountered hundreds of tornadoes, large and small, since my journey in the desert. I have rich experience and know how to avoid the most important things and take the easy way with the wind." Act.¡±
Zhuang Wen said with lingering fear: "Brother Di is worthy of being a capable man in the desert. As soon as the sky changes, he will know that the tornado is coming, and he also knows how to set up a double camel formation, so that we can avoid the disaster."
How could Long Ying know in his heart that it was his grandma's tornado? He just intuitively felt that a disaster was coming, and he couldn't help but feel more confident in his spiritual power. The demonic seed had not failed in the "Sea of ??Death".
Feng Mo could not help but nod, agreeing with Zhuang Wen. For this pretended desert expert, the two of them had no doubts about his desert abilities.
At dusk, everyone set up their tents and took a rest. The cold wind blew, and most people hid in the tents.
The three of them sat outside the camp and enjoyed the sunset.
Wan Renyu sighed: "It turns out that picking things up from the sand is more difficult than doing it with others. The most tiring thing is pulling things out from the bottom of the sand, which burns your hands."
Long Ying is missing the "good times" of crossing the Qiangtang. He would rather walk through the Qiangtang ten times than walk through the Taklimakan once.
Feng Guoting smiled bitterly and said: "Our consistent view on the desert is correct, that is, keep away from strangers. Alas! My mother!"
Long Ying asked casually: "How long do we have to go?"
Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting were stunned at the same time, then pointed at him and laughed wildly, not knowing how hard it was to laugh.
Long Ying said angrily: "There are no outsiders here. As a desert guide, of course I can ask any questions."
Feng Guoting said: "If there is a recognizable landmark in Taklimakan, it is the sacred mountain that stretches across the hinterland. It is more than a hundred miles long, and the east end reaches the bank of the Khotan River. It is the so-called shortcut we are taking now. Seeing the sacred mountain, It means that when you reach the middle of the shortcut, it's the same distance forward or backward."
Wan Renyu sighed: "The wind and sand are so strong, maybe even the mountains are covered up, just looking like a few very large sand dunes."
Feng Guoting said: "You can rest assured about this. According to the information I got back, the sacred mountain will always look that strange shape regardless of the season. It is like a divine general guarding the hinterland of the 'Sea of ??Death'. It never neglects its duty."
Long Ying said with great interest: "Why do you look so weird?"
Feng Guoting said: "The sandstone of the Holy Mountain has been eroded by wind and sand for a long time, forming a row of 'Buddhist niches'. It is a bit like the strange stone array we were besieged by the enemy in Kumtag, but the scale is hundreds of times larger. .¡±
Tiegang came holding a big watermelon and said: "This is the last batch of watermelon. After eating it, it will be gone. We suffered heavy losses this time. Most of the food was swallowed up by the wind. If we can't reach the first oasis within three days, The consequences could be disastrous."
Watching Tie Gang cutting the big watermelon, the sweet and moist smell fills my nose, which is the real nectar encountered in a long drought. Long Ying's heart moved and he asked, "Has Brother Tiegang walked through this line before?"
Tiegang divided the watermelon into four parts.The three of them nodded and said: "I have walked three or four times, but I have not walked through it during the time when the current is cut off. No one should come to this ghost place. Alas!"
The three of them knew that he was worried about not being able to go back to see his new wife, but they had nothing to comfort him.
Longying was inspired by him to sympathize, closed his eyes, and for the first time seriously used his psychic powers to find some trace of life in the vast dead area or that might exist nearby.
