A journey alone can be lonely, but fortunately, Zhongyuan is someone who can endure loneliness. Without worrying about water sources, food, and various dangers, the endless desert gives Zhongyuan a unique charm. The yellow sand filling the sky, as well as the continuous sand dunes, all have a strange beauty.
For the first two days, Zhongyuan took Mao Mao to rest in the Secret Treasure Space every day. After two days, Zhongyuan gave up. Since he came to play in the desert, he naturally had to eat, drink, and have fun in the desert. He stayed in the Secret Treasure Space all day and night, and he couldn't see any good luck such as sandstorms. To make people aware of Zhong Yuan's thoughts at this moment, it is probably necessary to curse him to death. The sandstorm that everyone fears in the desert is something that others cannot escape in time. Only Zhong Yuan looks forward to encountering the sandstorm and considers it as good luck.
After spending a few days with Zhongyuan, Mao Mao regained his lively nature and no longer stayed with him all day like he did at the beginning. Most of the time, the little thing ran with Zhongyuan on its own. It was hard to imagine such a small guy who could keep up with Zhongyuan's speed even when walking in the desert. He often walked more than ten kilometers without taking a break. Zhongyuan was no longer surprised. When he was on the snowy mountain, Zhongyuan already knew that this little guy was extraordinary.
Mao Mao, run slowly, or you'll be in trouble if you get lost and can't find me later. "Watching Mao Mao scatter his feet and flip over a sandbag and disappear, Zhong Yuan opened his mouth and shouted loudly. Zhong Yuan liked to talk to that little thing while conveying the meaning of his words to the little one, consciously guiding Mao Mao to understand human language. With the lesson of Jin Diao's previous experience, Zhong Yuan was very confident in this.
Shaking the backpack on his body, Zhongyuan looked up at the sun in the sky. It was only now that Zhongyuan realized that even in winter, the desert could become so hot. No wonder so many people in the desert were so fond of water.
Zhongyuan hadn't seen any plants for a long time. Looking around, there was only sand in front, back, left, and right. He quickly ran a few steps behind Maomao, and Zhongyuan followed Maomao to flip over the relatively huge sand dune in front of him in one breath. To Zhongyuan's surprise, after flipping over to the top of the sand dune, he saw more than ten low shrubs not far from the bottom of the dune. At this moment, Mao Mao had already run to the bottom of the dune and started to play happily. Obviously, he hadn't seen any plants for a long time, so even a few low shrubs excited Mao Mao.
Zhongyuan's feeling is also very good. There are a few green spots in this sand dune, which looks much more comfortable than the towering giant trees. With one foot deep and one foot shallow, Zhongyuan quickly ran down to the bottom of the hill. Although it was still some time before lunch, Zhongyuan had already made up his mind to have lunch next to this sand dune.
Zhongyuan now has two spatial items, raw food, cooked food, and food for golden eagles, all of which are placed in the Buddha bead. Zhongyuan no longer needs to hunt in the desert, and the things in the Buddha bead can help Zhongyuan not worry about not having food for several months.
As the bushes were about 20 meters away from Mao Mao, Zhong Yuan stepped out with one foot and was about to lift the foot behind him, but when he lifted it, he didn't move? Zhongyuan was greatly surprised, lowered his head and looked at him, and in an instant, he switched to great joy.
Not only did Zhong Yuan have one foot behind him, but even the one that had already stepped out was now sinking into the sand, 'quicksand'. Zhong Yuan didn't expect to be so lucky. He had only been in the desert for four or five days when he encountered such an interesting thing. Zhong Yuan reached out and took off his bag behind his back, using his psychic power to deliver it to the bushes. He didn't want to pack a backpack of sand later.
In theory, when encountering such a situation, one should immediately fall to the ground and not struggle too much, waiting for friends to rescue or slowly moving towards a safe place after the quicksand calmed down. However, after throwing away the backpack, Zhong Yuan not only did not do so, but also shook it vigorously a few times.
Not far away, Mao Mao realized the danger of Zhong Yuan only after his knees had sunk into the yellow sand. After a few 'whoosh' cries, he even ran towards Zhong Yuan regardless of the danger of the quicksand. The quicksand that could sink Zhong Yuan seemed useless to Mao Mao Mao. After a few moments, Mao Mao ran to Zhong Yuan and jumped onto his shoulder with all his might. His mouth never stopped from beginning to end, as if he didn't understand how Zhong Yuan's powerful ability could slowly sink down on this sandy ground.
Alright, alright, stop screaming. Let's see what's so scary about this pale quicksand. Don't worry, there won't be any danger. "Zhong Yuan was moved to see the little one who had only been living with him for a few days so anxious, and quickly patted the little one's body to calm him down.
Feeling Zhong Yuan's intention, although puzzled, Mao Mao temporarily quieted down. However, his furry tail kept swinging vigorously, filling the air around Zhong Yuan with a strong creamy aroma.
When he saw his feet sinking, Zhong Yuan had already used his psychic power to protect himself, so although it seemed that Zhong Yuan's entire feet had been hidden in the sand, there was still a psychic power between Zhong Yuan's body and the sand.
For Zhong Yuan, who didn't take the quicksand seriously and didn't feel the danger, the speed of the quicksand sinking was not very fast. Zhong Yuan had already started to move his body, but after a long time, the quicksand only reached Zhong Yuan's waist, and the sinking speed was getting slower and slower. After several minutes, Zhong Yuan's eagerly anticipated quicksand ended up flooding Zhong Yuan's shoulder. At this moment, even if Zhong Yuan wanted to move, he couldn't move without using his special bead ability.
Seeing that the quicksand really can only trap itself in the position of?, Zhong Yuan sighed silently, and secretly scolded himself for his bad luck. When encountering such a rubbish quicksand, even trapped individuals are so ungrateful.
It has to be said that Zhong Yuan really has a sore waist when he talks while standing up. People's abilities have changed, their perspectives have changed, and their views on problems have also changed. Zhongyuan never thought that if he were an ordinary person, he would encounter such quicksand and and be trapped so deeply that even if he couldn't hold it, he would have to starve to death. Being trapped like that, if no one came to help, the chance of a person crawling out of that quicksand would be very slim. Flowing sand is no better than ordinary soil pits. When the sand people around it are not moving, they are fine. When they move, the sand becomes active. The more you separate the sand to the side, the more will flow into the location where you separated it.
Zhongyuan tried a few times on site, but even with his current physical condition, he couldn't climb out of that pit. He only had some strength on his elbows while supporting himself on the sand with both hands. If he used his palms, he would easily sink them into the quicksand, leaving only his head outside the sand and running back and forth with his fur on the quicksand in a hurry. If it weren't for Zhong Yuan constantly telling Mao Mao that it's okay, the little thing would definitely be screaming hard again.
It was only at this moment that Zhongyuan realized that the quicksand was not sinking again, but rather the sinking speed was too slow and was ignored by Zhongyuan. Zhongyuan estimated that he would have to tinker like this for a few more minutes, and the quicksand might sink his entire body into it. Unfortunately, Zhongyuan was already very disappointed with the quicksand at this moment. Compared with the quicksand in TV and movies that casually sank people, the difference was really too big.
Feeling like he had wasted half a day on his expression, Zhong Yuan's mental energy easily pulled his entire body out of the sand. However, the pit left by Zhong Yuan was quickly filled by nearby sand particles, leaving only a small sand pit there.
Zhong Yuan tried on the nearby yellow sand with Mao Mao, and the range of the quicksand was indeed not very large, only about a few tens of square meters. Zhong Yuan used his psychic power to sweep the quicksand for a long time, but did not see any abnormalities. If he had to say that it was different from the others, it was probably just a little more water under the quicksand than in other places.
After surveying the area of the quicksand, Zhong Yuan walked over to the bushes and untied the pots, pans, and utensils from his backpack. He had already made up his mind to eat here, and whether he could encounter quicksand again in the desert in the future was a problem. Zhong Yuan planned to take a nap after eating and let the quicksand sink in, and then take a few photos. This kind of good place is not something that can be easily encountered.
In order to grill food in the desert, Zhongyuan brought a lot of firewood and put it in the Buddha beads. Unfortunately, he didn't encounter anything to grill and eat along the way, so he had to take out an alcohol stove to cook and eat. The rice was leftovers. He cooked a big pot of leftovers yesterday. As for the dishes, Zhongyuan took out some green peppers and meat slices from the Buddha beads and stir fried them to eat. These things were already prepared in the spiritual realm, even the green peppers were washed and put in, and the meat slices were also cut. Although Zhongyuan's cooking skills were not very good, the things he cooked were not delicious, but they could still be eaten, which was much better than eating plain rice.
Stop fooling around here, just play around. "Seeing that Zhongyuan had lit the alcohol stove and was about to get something to eat, Mao Mao stopped running around in the bushes and jumped onto Zhongyuan's shoulder, running from left to right and then from right to left, busy all the time. Zhongyuan couldn't help but know what that little thing wanted to do. Every time he went back to Zhongyuan to eat, it was also the time for that little thing to eat.
Zhongyuan didn't know what the little thing used to eat on the snowy mountain, but after following Zhongyuan, he gave him pistachios, cashews, peanuts, and walnuts in different shapes every day. So when it came to eating, Maomao's little thing was even more enthusiastic than Zhongyuan. For the first two days, Maomao was not familiar with Zhongyuan and could only stare at him with two eyes when he wanted to eat. Later, these days, whenever Zhongyuan didn't give him food to eat, the little thing would not be quiet on Zhongyuan's shoulder for a moment.
Seeing Mao Mao ignoring his words, Zhong Yuan only flipped over and took out a plate with his good hand. Mao Mao immediately stopped running when he saw the plate that Zhong Yuan had taken out. The little thing recognized the plate that had been used to pack food for him.
I grabbed a few nuts randomly, and Zhong Yuan put the plate on his backpack. The little thing didn't bother Zhong Yuan anymore, and he ran to the backpack to eat his own delicious food.
