Chapter 365 Kendia Desert
The title of that book has the word sun bath, but the sun in the Kendia desert is not gentle enough to be enjoyed. It is a harsh environment, and surviving there is a great challenge in itself.
For thousands of years, human beings have created countless countries in the Kendia Desert, and created a prosperous and powerful scene. Today, there are still human countries on the yellow sand, but they are no longer prosperous in the past.
Humans are highly adaptable creatures, but in the world of hunters, there are too many creatures that are more adaptable than humans.
When the oases formed by underground rivers become less and less, the living environment becomes more and more difficult.
However, there is a group of dangerous creatures that can still adapt strongly, and while the human base is gradually decreasing, their number is gradually increasing.
The world is so big, and there are many places to go, but the homeland is hard to move. People who have lived in the Kendia desert for generations have never thought of leaving.
Today, the Kendia Desert, as the largest desert in the world, is one of the most unsuitable places for living things in the world, and it is also the desert with the most population and countries.
The yellow sand spreads for thousands of miles, and the dark red rock mountain stands alone on the yellow sand. When the wind blows, the yellow sand flies all over the sky.
An armored cow runs on the yellow sand, rolling up a long shaft.
The armored cow is a desert land creature with strong endurance, thirst, heat and cold.
It is very different from ordinary cattle. There are five stomachs in the body, four of which can be used to store a lot of water. There are no sharp horns on the head, but a thick layer is covered from the forehead to the neck Hard skin, like armor, hence the name.
Armored cows are domesticated by people living in the Kendia desert, and they are indispensable companions for walking in the desert.
Luo and his party rode on the sand sled pulled by the armored ox, and headed towards the front that was so vast that it could not see the edge.
It has been three days since they entered the desert. So far, they have seen scorpions the size of three-story bungalows, sandworms up to ten meters long, walking cacti, and sandstorms that block out the sky, but they have never seen anything. No human smoke was seen.
"Lin Nie, how long will it take to get to Elba Oasis?"
Sitting on the broad back of the armored ox, Luo Qi first glanced at Buhara, who was lying listlessly on the sled, and then looked at Lin Nie with his eyes closed.
Hearing Luo's words, Lin Nie's eyes opened slightly,
Said: "No accident, it will arrive in the evening of the day after tomorrow."
Luo Wenyan nodded and looked ahead.
There is a wooden half canopy on the sand sled, which he remodeled with the hand of God before he set off. It can somewhat block the scorching sun, but it cannot insulate it from the temperature.
The water brought out before departure was almost bottomed out, which is also why Buhara was listless. As Lin Nie was getting older, his body must also be suffering, but he didn't show it like Buhara.
"Two days?"
Luo looked at the sand dunes and scattered rocky mountains in the distance. With the existing water, it is absolutely impossible to last until the day after tomorrow.
One thing, Luo is very clear, that is, it is impossible to encounter any oasis on the way to the Elba oasis.
Today, only three large oases remain in the Kendia Desert, and a smaller oasis in a red rock canyon.
On the three large oases, there are three countries, and the Elba Oasis is one of them. As for the small oasis in the Red Rock Canyon, it is occupied by cruel and cold-blooded sand bandits.
Oasis is the source of life in the desert, and the Kendia Desert is the largest desert in the world, but it only has four oases. This is a cruel reality.
In other words, before arriving at the Elba oasis, Luo and the others had no oasis to replenish the water source on the way.
Generally speaking, a small three-person team like Luo's must bring at least two armored cows when traveling. If you only take one, the resources are not enough to support you to the end.
Facts have proved that the resources carried by one armored ox are indeed not enough for them to use, but the reason why they only brought one armored ox was requested by Lin Nie, perhaps to increase the difficulty.
"If you can meet a dancing cactus, it's fine. If it's not, any creature will do."
Luo Momo thought, picked up the cowhide water bag hanging from his waist, and threw it towards Bharat.
The slightly flat water bag landed on Buhara's stomach, bounced a few times, and made a pleasant water sound.
Buhara opened his eyes suddenly, stretched out his hand to grab the water bag, pulled out the stopper quickly, filled the little water remaining in the water bag, and then let out a soft sigh of satisfaction.
"Resurrected!"
Buhara straightened his upper body a little bit, and suddenly regained his energy.
"You can't move Lin Nie's water. The bag just now is the last remaining water." Luo turned his head and glanced at Bharat, who had nowhere to use his strength.
"After drinking the water you gave me, boss, I think I can last for at least three hours!" Bharat said seriously.
Luo smiled and said, "That's the best."
An hour later, Bharat lay dead.
What about three hours?
Luo rubbed his forehead and kept an eye on his surroundings. Once a creature appeared in his field of vision, he would jump out of the car to catch it immediately. If he was unlucky, it would be dangerous.
Looking back at Lin Nie who kept her eyes closed all the time, she always felt that she didn't seem to be worried at all. If the water source was cut off in this environment, no matter how strong the mind is, it would not be able to sustain it.
Time passed, half an hour passed, and Luo's body began to lack water.
It's 2:30 in the afternoon, and it's four hours before the sun goes down.
"Trouble."
Luo frowned slightly. The remaining water in the car, the half bag of water in Lin Nie's hand, was also the last source of water that the two of them could never reach out for.
According to Lin Nie's book, if you want to replenish the water source in the Kendia desert, the best object is the dancing cactus, but they are so unlucky that they have not encountered a second one until now .
At this moment, a cloud of dust rose in front of him.
Luo stared intently at the place where the dust and mist were raised, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes. It was the dust and mist raised by the armored cow when it ran.
"Finally met someone."
After a while, the cloud of dust got closer and closer, and Luo could clearly see who was coming.
There are a total of five armored cows, with one person sitting on each of their backs. Each of them is wrapped in a yellow head, has a black beard, dark skin, and holds a two-meter-long saber in his hand.
Luo touched somewhere on the back of the armored cow's neck, causing it to slow down and stop.
The five armored oxen coming from the front had no intention of slowing down at all, and they drove side by side, aggressively.
When the distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters, the five people sitting on the armored ox took out a stone crossbow one after another, and shot five crossbow arrows at Luo's position.
There was a piercing sound, and it was actually an attack without saying hello.
A chill flashed in Luo's eyes, and with his thoughts, he easily stopped the five well-aimed crossbow arrows, only to see that the arrowheads made of stone were coated with venom.
This discovery made Luo's eyes even colder.
At the same time, Lin Nie, who was sitting on the sled, narrowed his eyes.
