Black Sandstorm Attacks!
Although An Liman was a living map of the desert and had brought many people into the desert before, he was not confident that he could lead them to the Lone Underground River in the Black Desert.
He had tried to persuade everyone to turn back several times, but Professor Chen and Xue Li Yang were unwilling to give up. Zhang Ziyang did not say anything either, which made him feel quite helpless.
In the desert, the scorching sun during the day was like a large furnace hanging above their heads, making it difficult for them to move. In order to avoid the scorching sun at noon, everyone could only travel through the night and set up tents to rest during the day.
On this morning, the first ray of sunlight rose from the eastern horizon, reflecting the clouds in the sky red. It enveloped the rising and falling sand dunes in a beautiful layer of light. The dried poplar trees and the rippling yellow sand were reflected in a golden color. The rich colors formed a magnificent picture scroll between heaven and earth.
Everyone had been running for the whole night and was exhausted. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but feel refreshed. Only An Liman stared at the morning sun in the east, a hint of uneasiness appearing on his face.
Hu Bayi also sensed that something was wrong. There was an old saying that one should not go out at dawn. If the sunset was to travel thousands of miles, the red clouds in the morning were not a good sign. People who had never been to the desert would never understand such a scene. Therefore, Hu Bayi quickly asked An Liman about the situation.
The answer they received shocked everyone. Was the black storm about to arrive?
The desert was about to get windy, and it was a very, very strong wind. Even if they built a sand wall, it would not be able to block such weather. If they could not find a place to hide in the ruins of the West Night Ancient City, they would probably be buried alive in this desert.
However, just as everyone was about to get on their camels and hurry on, they saw An Liman unhurriedly take out a blanket, kneel on it, and start his morning lesson devoutly.
Seeing how calm An Liman was, everyone could not help but relax.
" Everyone, get on the camel and protect yourselves. The storm is coming." Zhang Ziyang didn't care about An Liman. In the original novel, An Liman was not a good person. In the movie, he caused Professor Chen to fall off the camel.
However, at that time, part of the reason was because of the lack of water. However, no one listened to Zhang Ziyang's words now, although they were a little puzzled.
However, he still quickly got on the camel. Everyone still trusted Zhang Ziyang very much. Not long after Zhang Ziyang finished speaking, An Liman was like an agile rabbit. After packing up his things, he jumped onto the camel's back and rode forward desperately.
Since An Liman's camel was the leader, Zhang Ziyang and the others, whether they were riding camels or carrying items, all started running. At this moment, except for Zhang Ziyang's camel, everyone in their camel team ran forward desperately.
After running for his life for a short while, a breeze blew across the sand dunes, stirring up strands of fine sand. The distant sky gradually darkened. The storm came extremely quickly, and rolling yellow sand covered the sky and the sun. It was like a raging yellow dragon that wanted to devour everything.
There was yellow sand everywhere, and everyone couldn't tell where they were going. Professor Chen's body on the camel swayed and almost fell a few times.
Although Zhang Ziyang was also running with them, he was paying attention to them from time to time. He didn't expect Professor Chen to be in danger of falling off the camel even though he didn't lack water.
Zhang Ziyang could only ride his camel to Professor Chen's side and shout," Professor Chen, how are you? Can you still hold on?”
Professor Chen heard someone calling him and turned his head with difficulty. Seeing that it was Zhang Ziyang, he said," Priest Zhang, I feel like I'm about to fall off the camel. Can you help me?"”
Everyone knew that in such weather, if you fell off your camel and couldn't get back on it in time, you would be buried alive.
Zhang Ziyang nodded at Professor Chen and took out a climbing rope that was about seven to eight meters long. He let Professor Chen grab one of the ropes first. Then, Zhang Ziyang quickly circled around Professor Chen's camel and quickly fixed Professor Chen on the camel's back.
Although this was very uncomfortable, it was better than losing their lives. Since there was no scene where Hu Bayi saved Professor Chen from the camel, everyone did not waste much time. Their journey was undoubtedly much faster than in the movie.
Xue Li Yang and An Liman, who were at the very front, could vaguely see the broken city wall in front of them. It was the ruins of an ancient city, and it was also the place where they hid from the storm in the movie.
"Everyone, hold on for a while. It'll be safe when we reach the front!”Hu Bayi also saw the city wall and shouted as he pointed ahead.
It was a huge sand dune, and a sturdy city wall stood tall under the sand dune, pointing out the way for everyone. Most of the buildings here had been buried by the yellow sand, and most of the houses had collapsed.
Everyone heard what Hu Bayi said and saw the city wall. They held their breath and ran with their heads covered. Only when they reached the corner of the wall did they heave a sigh of relief. The desert had shown everyone its terror for the first time.
An Liman also ordered the camels to lean against the wall. Then, everyone went through a hole in the roof and entered a big house below.
"Damn it, I'm so tired. I didn't expect the sandstorm in the desert to be so scary. Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come!”Fatty entered the room and sat down.
Everyone then entered the big house one by one, and then lay on the sand in disorder, gasping for breath. They did not stop to rest in the middle. Even a strong man like Hu Bayi could not stand it anymore. Only Zhang Ziyang remained calm, and his clothes were not dirty at all. His aura was ethereal, like a fairy.
Zhang Ziyang kept looking at the room. He saw that this broken house was probably a yamen or a city hall in the past. It was very tall. Sand had been blowing in for many years, and it was almost filled up. The wooden beam above was within reach.
However, Zhang Ziyang knew that there was a group of terrifying army ants near the inner wall. Although Zhang Ziyang had never seen them before, he had watched a lot of TV shows. He also knew that most of the time, the terrifying creatures were not tigers or other large beasts, but army ants. These small things were like an army. As long as you didn't have wings and couldn't fly, or even if you could fly, as long as you flew slowly.
Facing these little things, even if you were a powerful expert, you would still have a headache for some time.
After An Liman entered the house, he immediately knelt on the ground and muttered something to thank Hu Da for giving them a place to stay. This caused Fatty to roll his eyes.
The sandstorm outside had already reached the top of the big house. The strong wind howled, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains. Clouds of sand were blown into the big house through the hole in the roof by the strong wind. In just a short while, a large amount of yellow sand had piled up at the hole in the roof where they had entered.
Zhang Ziyang hurriedly took out a quilt from his space and sealed the entrance with Hu Bayi. Seeing the light in the room suddenly darken, Hu Bayi had a bad feeling. Moreover, there was no firewood in the room to burn.
One had to know that in the desert, it was impossible to not have a fire at night. In this desert where the temperature difference between day and night was extremely large, if there was no fire at night, it would freeze people to death.
"Fatty, come with me to pick up something that can be burned!”When Fatty heard Hu Bayi call him, he followed him out without a word.
Under their search, the two of them picked up two dead trees that were extremely dry.
" Master Dao, come here. I have something to tell you." Fatty put down the wooden block and pulled Zhang Ziyang to the side.
"What is it?" Zhang Ziyang looked at Fatty mysteriously.
"Dao Master, Hu Bayi and I were behind our house just now. We saw a lot of yellow goats running away very quickly, but we couldn't catch them! See if you can catch two and improve our food, okay?”Fatty had a wretched smile on his face. He knew Zhang Ziyang's skills, so he encouraged Zhang Ziyang.
Since Zhang Ziyang had only taken out Sprite before, everyone basically brought their own dry rations. Moreover, the dry rations were cooled with cold water. The texture was not very good, making Fatty look at the yellow sheep in front of him. It was called craving!
"Alright, you useless foodie. Wait for me. I'll go catch one!”Zhang Ziyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the fat man who was trying to curry favor with him.
