In the endless desert, Wishing's group walked forward under the sun and strong winds. Everyone was dispirited.
"Old Master, let's find a place to rest.”Wishing looked at the people behind him and said. He was a little tired, not to mention that the people behind him were not as fit as him.
"Alright." An Liman glanced at the people behind him and made the camels kneel.
Everyone forced themselves to be alert and began to dig pits and camp. After eating, they began to rest. After all, they still had to travel at night.
It was already the third day since they had left Prince Gumo's tomb. Every day, they would spend the night at dawn, moving forward day and night. They should have entered the depths of the Black Desert by now because they had seen fewer and fewer cacti and Haloxylon along the way.
In fact, on the second day after they left Prince Gumo's tomb, they found the stone tomb just like in the original drama. When the two girls were solving their physiological problems, they entered the stone tomb to take a look. Then, they continued on their way that night.
The sand in the desert was like a heated brick bed. No matter how deep they dug, they could not feel the cold at all. Everyone did not wake up naturally every day, but because of the heat.
After being woken up by the heat again, he made a wish and left the tent. Seeing that the sky had already begun to darken, he immediately began to cook. The others also woke up one after another.
The group of people continued to set off after eating. This trip lasted for another three days.
There was still enough food, but there was not much water left. Moreover, there was no more Haloxylon Grass.
In addition to the hot and dry environment, even if they did not drink water, a portion of the water in the water bag would evaporate. Therefore, everyone could only hurry up.
Ye Yixin didn't suffer from acute dehydration like in the original movie, thanks to the yogurt soup that she had made a wish for. On the contrary, Professor Chen seemed to be unable to take it because of his old age and weak body.
This afternoon, the group of people was being baked by the sun until their mouths were dry. Suddenly, An Liman, who was leading the group, stopped. Wishing, who was following behind An Liman, got off his camel and walked over to ask. An Liman said that they couldn't go any further because they couldn't see any traces of the Zidu Underground River anymore. However, under Shirley Yang's coquettish 'words, An Liman agreed to go a little further.
However, due to the long journey, everyone decided to rest for a while before setting off. When night fell, everyone continued to travel. However, after walking for a night, Wish realized that the minute hand on his watch did not move.
His face lit up and he immediately took out his compass. He saw that the compass was no longer working, and the needle kept spinning on the clock.
As expected, they had already reached the vicinity of the magnetic mountain. They finally did not have to rush anymore.
At this moment, An Liman, who was leading the camel, also stopped.
"Old Master, why did you stop?”Hu Bayi asked An Liman as he got off the camel.
"I've long since lost sight of the Zi Du Underground River. If we continue walking, we'll all be stuck in this black desert.”An Liman's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse.
The people surrounding them were worried. They didn't have much water left, so they had to advance or retreat.
"I don't know if everyone has noticed, but our compasses and watches can't be used anymore.”Wishing said.
Hearing the reminder of the wish, everyone started to check their watches and compasses. Only Shirley Yang was happy and quickly took out her notebook to read.
"My watch and compass are broken too.”Everyone checked their watches and compasses and said.
" That's right," Shirley Yang said happily." Don't panic, everyone. Our compass and watch are not broken, but we are near Magnetic Mountain."”
"Magnetic Mountain?" Professor Chen was delighted. He and Shirley Yang had already studied the contents of the notebook thoroughly. How could he not understand what Shirley Yang meant?" Shirley, you mean we're almost at Jingjue Ancient City?”
"Yes!" Shirley Yang nodded," This notebook says that after reaching the end of the Zidu Underground River, we will see two magnetic mountains. Then, through a valley that looks like a gate, we will reach the Jingjue Ancient City. Now, our compass and watch are out of order. This means that we are near the magnetic mountains.”
"Miss Yang, it's indeed as you said. All the signs indicate that we are very close to the Ancient City of Jingjue, but we don't see the magnetic mountain now. If this continues, our water won't be able to hold on, and Professor Chen's body doesn't seem to be able to hold on either.”Hu Bayi looked around and said worriedly.
"Old Hu, you're right, but I must find the Ancient City of Jingjue.”Shirley said to Hu Bayi.
"..." Hu Bayi was speechless. He was defeated by Shirley Yang's glare.
"Do you think that is the Unmagnetic Mountain?" Wishing Finger pointed in a direction. After confirming that he was around the magnetic mountain, he kept looking around with binoculars.
Everyone looked over when they heard that. They saw that in the direction the wish was pointing at, there was a barely discernible black line at the end of the sky.
The others didn't waste any time either. They took out their binoculars and adjusted their focus to observe carefully. They saw a black mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see, like a black dragon crawling in the yellow sand.
There was a mountain pass in the middle of the mountain range. It was exactly the same as the magnetic mountain in Shirley Yang's photo, so there was no mistake. What they saw should be the mountain.
The reason why the others didn't see it was probably because the desert was extremely empty. It was easy for tired eyes to miss some inconspicuous things. However, because of his martial arts spirit, his Wishing Vision wasn't affected, so he found the mountain.
"We're finally here." Professor Chen, who was exhausted, was also shocked when he saw the magnetic mountain.
"The long journey has finally reached its final step.”Hao Aiguo sighed.
Fatty was also excited because if they really found the Ancient City of Jingjue, they could get 20,000 dollars.
"Alright, everyone, let's hurry up and set off.”Hu Bayi said. He also wanted to see what the legendary Jingjue Ancient City looked like.
