    Due to the abnormal climate in Inner Mongolia in recent years and uncontrolled grazing, many grasslands have experienced desertification, causing many herders to migrate to places away from cities to graze.

    Although Timur¡¯s driving skills are good, he is still walking on thin ice in the semi-desert terrain, and the situation is not very optimistic.  The last time I came here was a month ago. This area should be relatively easy to navigate. Why did it suddenly become like this?

    Yuan Benchu ??looked at the sand and dust stirred up by the tires and felt something was wrong, so he asked: "Timur, there won't be any quicksand on this road, right?"

    In fact, as a driver, Timur also discovered an abnormality. It seemed that the power of the off-road vehicle was gradually weakening. The stopwatch showed about 60 yards, but in fact it was less than 30 yards per hour.  Could it be that we have really encountered quicksand and are about to sink into it?  He couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought that Timur knew the power of quicksand.

    Once the off-road vehicle is trapped, it will be difficult for the people trapped in the vehicle to escape. No one can guarantee the specific area of ??the quicksand.  Thinking of this, Timur had to stop and said to Yuan Benchu: "Boss, judging from the current situation, there is probably quicksand ahead. Why don't we get off the car?"

    "How far is it from the destination? Is it safe to leave the car here?" Yuan Benchu ??looked at the vast desert and felt a little dazed for a moment. Under the scorching sun, the temperature reached over 50 degrees. Ordinary people have been here for a long time.  He will definitely die of dehydration, not to mention Yuan Benchu ??has no experience in this area. It is normal to be nervous. Even though he is protected by Tai Chi air balls, he still has fear for unknown things. This is human nature.

    On the contrary, Timur seemed very calm. He had been a tour guide for several years and had similar experience. Moreover, he was a veteran and his ability to survive in the wild was relatively strong. He thought for a moment, looked around and said: "As far as I estimate  There are still at least dozens of kilometers to travel, and we won¡¯t be able to reach the tribal territory today, but don¡¯t worry, I will ensure your safety. Fortunately, I took this situation into consideration and took tools and food for survival in the wild. As for cars, rental  The company has a GPS positioning system and someone will handle it."

    "Okay, let's go on our way first? There is no good camping spot in this place." After Yuan Benchu ??said that, he got off the car with Timur and followed his instructions to walk in a desert-like environment.

    Yuan Benchu¡¯s wild survival is only at the level of a rookie. Compared with Timur, he pales in comparison. He is worthy of being a Mongolian. He is familiar with every plant and tree in this land and can live in harmony with nature.

    But walking in the desert is still too dangerous. You need to replenish water at any time. The water brought by Timur is actually not enough. In addition to the shortage of drinking water, the physical strength consumed in the desert is also extremely huge. Protein must be replenished properly.

    Fortunately, Yuan Benchu ??was not a helpless otaku who stayed at home all the time. His physical fitness was better than Timur's, but he just didn't adapt to the environment here. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but after he got familiar with it, he got better and it also made him feel better.  Timur was impressed.

    What he was most worried about was that his employer could not stand such an environment, which would lead to some unforeseen crisis. Such things had happened many times, and Timur was somewhat used to it, so most of the drinking water and food were given to him.  Yuan Benchu ??ate it first, while he chose to eat cactus and some scorpions.

    "Timur, what's your eating habit? You don't have to accommodate me." Yuan Benchu ??was very thirsty at the beginning. He drank two bottles of mineral water after walking for an hour, and there was not much water left in his backpack.  .  When people survive in the desert, water is a priority.

    "It's okay. The cactus in the desert has a lot of water. It can produce fluids and quench thirst. Isn't it better than simply drinking water? Drinking water all the time will also lead to dehydration. Just the right amount is fine." Timur chopped open a cactus with his saber.  He carefully peeled off the sharp thorns attached to the surface, then cut a piece to Yuan Benchu ??and said, "Eat it, it tastes pretty good. In fact, nature has left us many precious things. Let's see if we can use them."

    Yuan Benchu ??has never eaten a cactus in the desert before, especially a cactus that is as tall as a person in the desert terrain. He tried taking a bite and it felt a bit like a cantaloupe?  There is indeed a lot of moisture, at least it provides moisture for Yuan Benzhu.  During this hour, Yuan Benchu ??tried to use Tai Chi air balls. Although the effect was quite significant, if he used it too much and consumed too much, it would be even more detrimental to subsequent walking. Therefore, Yuan Benchu ??had to keep the total amount of Tai Chi air balls under 100 as a last resort.  About eighty percent, so as to deal with the crisis that may occur next.

    "It tastes pretty good. Can you catch this scorpion and eat it raw?" When Yuan Benchu ??saw Timur catch a thumb-sized scorpion in the sand dunes, he chewed it with his teeth a few times and swallowed it. It really felt like Mao Ru was drinking blood.

    Timur said proudly: "I just have to not eat its tail spines. Walking in the desert is alwaysCarrying sand and soil with it is very difficult for digestion and physical strength. It is impossible to get out of this small area of ????the desert that just appeared not long ago without supplementing protein and nutrients at any time.  "

    "This is still small?" It was difficult for Yuan Benchu ??to understand that the desert that could not reach the edge after walking for half a day was still small. Could there be a bigger one?

    "Well, this is not a big deal. I once walked for a week to get out of the desert. You don't want to experience that kind of experience." Timur said in his memory that those who work as personal tour guides will not limit their routes.  , but to lead according to the requirements of the employer, which will inevitably encounter some uncontrollable things.

    When Yuan Benchu ??saw that he was eating with such gusto, he couldn't help but grab it a few times, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and complained as if he was vomiting: "It tastes like stinky intestines! This kind of ghost thing is human  food?"

    Timur quickly stopped Yuan Benchu ??from vomiting it out and said, "This is what will determine whether you can walk out of the desert! You have to eat these if you want to survive."

    After holding back the uncomfortable feeling, Yuan Benchu ??swallowed it forcefully. This was the first time in his life that he had eaten such unpalatable food. Of course, there would be even more unpalatable food later!

    Yuan Benchu, who had eaten two scorpions, nibbled on a few more pieces of cactus and put some extra pieces of cactus in his backpack. The two of them started walking in the desert where the daylight hours were longer.

    Timur saw a mountain wall not far ahead and many boulders around it, and said: "This is a good camping spot. Boss, you wait here for me to climb up to find some dry firewood and food. I believe there should be  There will be gains.¡±

    Hearing this, Yuan Benchu ??hid in the shade of a boulder barrier. Finally, he no longer had to endure the feeling of being in an oven. Sitting underneath, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.  After walking for so long, Yuan Benchu's legs were numb, but Timur seemed to still have some strength left.

    "Sure enough, I have been at ease for a long time. If I didn't have Tai Chi Qi Mass to help me, I would probably die early in the morning." Yuan Benchu ??couldn't help but think about exercising his body. Simply relying on Tai Chi Qi Mass was not an option!  After waiting for more than ten minutes, Yuan Benchu ??ate a piece of preserved cactus, and Timur came belatedly, holding a pile of dry firewood in his hand, and there seemed to be something else in his pocket.

    "We were lucky. We found vulture eggs on the mountain wall, which were enough for us to eat at night." In the desert terrain, the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, which is why Timur ran back and forth several times to find matches.

    A simple camping site was built using hay and accompanying modern mats and rucksacks. It is located under the hollowed-out terrain of overlapping boulders. The fire is facing the stone wall. This can be used to increase the reflected temperature and prevent it from being too cold at night.  .

    Obviously, with Timur as a competent guide, Yuan Benchu ??avoided a lot of troubles. If Yuan Benchu ??was simply trapped in the desert alone, he might rely on Tai Chi air balls or open plug-ins to hide in the space to replenish water and nutrients to survive.  This disaster may occur, but it is likely to be extremely embarrassing.

    No matter what, Yuan Benchu ??learned a lot about the ability to survive in the wild during this trip to the desert. Survival in the desert is different from that in the jungle. There are some huge differences. This is why Yuan Benchu ??was not able to adapt at first.

    Timur skillfully lit the fire. In the desert at night, the fire is the foundation of human survival. It is supplemented by sufficient wood to prevent accidents.

    Using a pot used to survive in the wild to cook the vulture eggs he picked up, Yuan Benchu ??was a little unsure whether the eggs were good or not. Just looking at Timur's nonchalant expression, Yuan Benchu ??didn't bother to say more. Isn't it nonsense to pay so much attention to things in the wild?

    As night falls, in the dark desert night, some carnivorous animals appear to look for food. The howling of wolves and the roar of hyenas make Yuan Benchu ??a little scared. This is the fear of unknown creatures. Although Yuan Benchu's psychological defense is already very strong, for the first time  In this environment, it is quite a test of one's courage. He shrank his neck. The temperature dropped sharply at night, which was extremely uncomfortable for Yuan Benchu, a southerner.

    "It looks like you are coming to Inner Mongolia for the first time, but your performance is much better than the average person. You just lack experience in this area." Timur chatted with nothing to divert Yuan Benchu's attention, because of the silent night  It is quite frightening to hear a pack of wolves lurking around you at any time, not knowing when they will appear.

    "Yes, I usually go camping in the wild, but some of my experiences in the jungle are completely useless in the desert." Yuan Benchu ??also relaxed. Timur was not afraid. His combat power was much higher than him. What should he be afraid of?  It's just a subconscious retreat, what's the big deal!

    "I see, the eggs will be cooked in a while. Look at the compressed biscuits in the backpack. Just eating these eggs won't make you full." Half a bottle of mineral water was used to boil the eggs, and the backpack  There are still a few bottles in there, in frontBecause of proper conservation measures during this period, there was only so much left, which also laid the foundation for future survival.

    Yuan Benchu ??took out a few packs of compressed biscuits and threw them to Timur. After the eggs were cooked, Yuan Benchu ??opened them and saw that he couldn't swallow them. There were still vultures ready to be formed inside the eggs!

    "What's wrong, don't you like eating this? Just close your eyes and imagine a plump pheasant. It's good if the eggs on the mountain wall don't smell bad." Timur devoured the hard-boiled eggs, no matter they were good ones.  Whether it's bad or bad, they are all rich in nutrients. Even though they don't taste very good, they won't kill anyone.

    Hearing this, Yuan Benchu ??had no choice but to eat it. It was much better than swallowing the scorpion alive, which Yuan Benchu ??could accept.

    After eating vulture eggs and compressed biscuits, Timur was very sleepy. After saying a few words, he fell asleep. Yuan Benchu ??listened to the howling of wolves around him and tossed and turned. He was a little looking forward to starting a new business in the Taoyuan space, but was afraid that Timur would suddenly wake up.  , I would be worried when I found out that Yuan Benchu ??was missing, so I thought wildly, added matches several times, and fell asleep in a daze.

    The next day, at dawn, Timur got up, ran to a place hundreds of meters away, and brought back a huge gerbil.

    He said excitedly: "Haha, I didn't expect that the trap I set casually yesterday actually caught a gerbil, and I have breakfast!"

    Timur deliberately used half a bottle of water this morning to clean the gerbil's internal organs and roasted it over a fire. The aroma made Yuan Benchu, who had an empty stomach, jump up.

    "Wow! I finally saw something good today." Yuan Benchu ??was also very happy. It was an extremely happy thing to eat gerbils. It was much more delicious than pre-formed vulture eggs or scorpions, and it was also rich in nutrients.

    Timur roasted the gerbil meat patiently. After it was completely cooked, he cut half of it and handed it to Yuan Benchu. The two began to have the most delicious breakfast after entering the desert!

    Having eaten and drank enough, both of them were in high spirits. Taking advantage of this energy, they continued their journey after packing up.  This time they went relatively smoothly. When the sun was at its hottest, they finally saw the grassland that divided the world into two!

    "This is your friend's grazing place?" Yuan Benchu ??showed his weakness and saw the lush oasis. The first thing he thought about was to run to the water source and wash away the dust.  As a southerner, he had to take a shower at least once a day, otherwise it would be uncomfortable, and the feeling of sweat sticking to his body made Yuan Benchu ??feel as if he had been bitten by billions of ants.  If it weren't for the compelling appearance, Yuan Benchu ??would have been soaking in the holy water in the Taoyuan space at this time!  Timur was also very excited, and he followed Yuan Benchu ??to the water source of this oasis to take a bath and wash away his fatigue.

    While he was enjoying himself, Timur said: "Yes, you should be able to see my friends' yurts a few kilometers past this oasis. You must have a few glasses of kumiss!"

    Yuan Benchu ??drooled all over the floor while listening to the kumiss. After washing himself, his whole body felt much more relaxed. The relationship between the two of them has also been enhanced in this wild desert survival. They are no longer just an employer and a guide.  But friends.

    Yuan Benchu ??admires Timur's character and approach very much, and Timur also agrees with Yuan Benchu. It can be said that they are in harmony with each other.

    Friendship between men is so simple and direct. Yuan Benchu ??immediately proposed to be friends with Timur. This sentence made Timur stunned for a while.

    "Aren't we friends from a long time ago?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site) and give rewards. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
