Chapter 712 Desert Realization

This is one of the five deserts in Tutankhamun's empire, and it is also a place where mutant energy is rampant. There are some extremely tenacious oases in the desert that can provide supplies, but there are also more deserts that even Muzi finds it troublesome. deadly.

The surrounding sand became extremely hot under the sunlight, and the occasional wind blowing in the air also carried strong heat and the smell of sand, but most of the time it was still calm, and the whole world was like a dead silence, without wind or wind. Any sound, there is only the boundless desert and the vicious sunshine above.

A young sand lizard is lying on the golden sand, enjoying the sunshine leisurely. Mutated creatures have stronger adaptability than humans. Maybe they can't get rid of the need for water, but their living habits have completely changed. adapted to the desert environment. The sand lizard's expression was quite relaxed. There were no other mutated creatures in the vicinity, and it was quite safe. But suddenly, it sensed something. It rolled over from the ground, its limbs fell on the ground, its small eyes rolled around, and it was vigilant. Looking at the movement around.

Soon it saw the shadow of a human coming from a distance. Unlike ordinary desert travelers and walkers, he did not wear the kind of big-brimmed hat and mask that can block the wind and sand, and he did not have any extra bags on his body. The equipment, even the clothes are very thin. This is the desert of Tutankhamun. The temperature difference between day and night is quite large. Although the ground is hot during the day, it can freeze a layer of your skin at night. But this man didn't care at all, a thin shirt and a small backpack were all his equipment, but he didn't look like a refugee who was robbed, his walking posture was unusually steady, and his speed was also very fast , Sand Lizard was still several miles away when he first saw him, but in just a few tens of seconds, he had already reached a position only a few hundred meters away from him. Touching the sand under his feet, he burrowed in and disappeared without a trace.

That figure was Wang Zhong. It was already the tenth day since he left Cacierta Village, and he had already entered the center of the Moradys Pink Desert.

This is the place Muzi recommends.

Carrying a small backpack and walking alone, not even carrying Tianxun, without restraints, it seems to have returned to the silence of childhood, although the surrounding environment is very empty, but the heart is very fulfilling.

Is it dead silent in the desert? Wang Zhong used to think so, even including the whole half a month of struggling with Gong Yi and others in the desert, he did not change this view.

But when his heart calmed down, after walking through this solitude for a few days, he slowly realized that in fact, in this seemingly empty world, there is still vitality, whether it is ordinary creatures, mutant creatures, or even desert plants, they all have tenacity. They may not be easy to see on the surface of the desert, but hidden in the bottom of the desert, hidden behind the distant hills, hidden in some places that are easy for you to ignore at a glance, they are always there. Blooming with the brilliance of life.

Walking every day, experiencing every day, the more you see, the more you experience. Just like what Muzi said, this is a completely different feeling. Muzi has already traveled all over the Tutankhamun Empire, so he has gained a lot. the current strength.

It's only been ten days, Wang Zhong is already unshaven and unkempt, but his eyes are sharper. Everything around him has a different meaning to him, just like a newborn baby, greedily breathing the air of the world , looking at this colorful world curiously, learning and remembering everything here.

There is a shortage of water in the desert, but it is not without water, especially after the change of the environment, the desert has not changed, but the vitality here has mutated, and it has become stronger, which means that water will be gathered by plants, but Ordinary people can't see it, because they are controlled by some huge plant roots underground.

Therefore, for ordinary people, it is very difficult to find water, but it is different for Wang Zhong. He is a big five-element body and can feel the existence of various elements.

Through unremitting practice, as long as you feel the flow of the power of water in the air, you will find the source of water, no matter how small it is, it will diffuse into the air, and your intuition will lead you to find the water that is entrenched under the sand. resource.

However, although this method is feasible, it also requires a lot of practice. At the beginning, Wang Zhong made a lot of mistakes in his judgment. Although he could feel the power of the water element in the air, he often dug in the wrong place. The power of the water element is diffused. Yes, floating in the desert, you have to clearly identify its source and direction, and even the distance of its spread. This requires an indescribably harsh level of comprehension of the five elements.

However, with the delicate comprehension and continuous practice, Wang Zhong gradually felt that he was integrated with the desert, and he was more used to this place, so the feeling of distinguishing water elements in the complex airflow became clearer and clearer, a bit like The state of the mind's eye, but it's not, a higher level, insight into the environment, melting into the environment, this is the transformation from the active release of the mind's eye to passive perception, quite natural.

Finding water is only one of the necessary conditions for survival in the desert. If you want to survive here and complete this journey, you need more.

Food, stamina, facing danger, the polarization of mutant creatures in the desert is quite large, and the weak ones are really weak. Small mutants like the sand scorpion and sand lizard are purely food for new humans. They are in the entire desert ecosystem Not to mention facing powerful mutated creatures, even many mutated plants can feed on them.

Wang Zhong was also observing. He found a very interesting phenomenon. Maybe people in the desert did not think about it this way, but the phenomenon does exist. These small mutants such as the sand lizard and sand scorpion, which are at the lowest end of the desert biological chain, are their natural enemies throughout the desert, but they are the only ones that spread all over the desert and reproduce the most prosperously.

While nature is evolving, although it has created the most natural enemies for them, it also endows them with other abilities that are quite abnormal. First of all, the fertility of these mutants far exceeds the normal state.

Take the mutated iguana as an example. Wang Zhong had studied materials related to them in biology class. They used to lay eggs once a year in the sunny era, and each ovulation had about three to six eggs. But since entering the dark age, their size has become larger, and they can lay eggs six times a year, almost once every two months, and each laying eggs can range from 40 to 100 eggs, and the entire growth cycle is greatly shortened , it only takes half a year to become an adult, which can be called terrifying.
