Chapter 381 Death Sahara (57)

"Damn it!"

Outside the Death Sahara, the Eye of the Sahara.

Wang Pengpai, who was setting up a fire to boil water and cook rice, suddenly cursed, but he stopped after just one curse and stirred the instant noodles in the pot as usual.

When the mysterious school appeared before, Wang Pengpai and Wei Xun (Bai Xiaosheng) came out to meet them. After the mysterious school disappeared, they simply stayed there to observe.

The fire was not big, and the water in the pot could not boil. After stirring it twice, Wang Pengpai threw away the poplar branches that served as temporary long chopsticks and shouted at the top of his voice: "Where is the firewood? I haven't found the firewood for a long time?"

"Here it comes, I just collected it."

A young voice came from the side, and Wei Xun (Bai Xiaosheng) came hurriedly with some dry Achnatherum splendens and Camel Thorn in his arms, and some poplar branches. Wang Pengpai hurried over to take it, hugged it, changed his tone, and asked about his well-being.

"Hey, why are you the one collecting? Isn't it said that the wolfmen should do this rough work?"

"I want to help a little."

Wei Xun smiled shyly and said nothing. He looked like a well-behaved child. Seeing Wang Pengpai, he felt even more distressed. He frowned and lectured like a deputy captain:

"You can help anywhere, but you can't go alone. Don't treat this as an ordinary trip. Aren't you afraid of running alone in this desert? Be careful not to get lost! Sit down and rest for a while. How do you feel? Are you still able to bear it? Look at how much sweat you are sweating. Come and drink some water quickly, don't get heatstroke."

While Wang Pengpai was nagging, 'Wei Xun' sat down and took the military water bottle handed to him by Wang Pengpai, and said obediently: "I still haven't exercised enough, If Captain An was here, it would be fine. "

"Well, you have to see who you are comparing yourself with. If you compare yourself with Old An, I can't do it."

Wang Pengpai patted his belly happily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and carried firewood to add firewood. The water boiled and he started to curse the sky. It was like venting. He said that it was still so hot in October. The sun was so hot and the weather was so bad that it made people's heads and faces full of sand. He didn't act like a deputy captain at all. Hearing this, Wei Xun, who had just been scolded, relaxed and laughed.

If it was an old man who had been working in the brigade for many years, Wang Pengpai would definitely not bother to cook noodles. A few compressed biscuits would be enough. It was purely to take care of the newcomers and act kindly so that the newcomers could adapt to the brigade faster. Anyway, the audience in the live broadcast room felt that Guitu was really good to the newcomers. With Wei Xun's group pet on Guitu, Wang Pengpai would have taken care of them like this.

Wang Pengpai and Bai Xiaosheng acted so sincerely that no one had found any problems in the journey so far. But Wang Pengpai himself was almost choking. His heart had been pounding since the morning - this was a sign that the tour guide was seriously injured, and it was urging the tourists to quickly protect their own tour guide!

Having this premonition meant that the tour guide was not slightly injured. Not to mention that the death countdown had returned to zero, it had to be a serious injury like the heart being cut out! To be honest, this feeling was quite novel. It was the first time that Wang Pengpai had this feeling after ten years in the hostel. This kind of influence was also in the middle connection between the tour guide and the tour leader. Under a closer connection, the tourists in the team could sense it at the same time.

As the deputy captain, Wang Pengpai also felt deeply, but Wang Pengpai was not too worried. He was there on Bingyi's first trip, and he knew Bingyi's character very well. It was no big deal for him to be seriously injured near death. What's more, Team An was there too. How could Bingyi really die? If there was a problem, the worst thing would be to destroy the scene and re-enact it to bring people out. There would definitely be no problem.

So at the beginning, Wang Pengpai savored it carefully, and sighed in his heart, with endless aftertaste. They were also a tour group with a guide on their way back. The little feeling of tourists with a guide was different.

But this accelerated heartbeat appeared again and again - almost non-stop, he kept shouting "Danger·Tour Guide·Danger"! It made Wang Pengpai tingle and sweat all over his body. He wanted to rush to rescue the tour guide immediately. If he didn't rescue him, he would feel uncomfortable. He felt that his heart would jump out of his mouth!

Bai Xiaosheng was able to sit still. Just now, Wang Pengpai couldn't help but ask him in a veiled way. He still meant that there would be no problem if Captain An was there. Wang Pengpai also knew that things would not be bad if Captain An was there... But the problem was that this feeling of scratching his heart was really uncomfortable! Especially this time, it felt stronger than the previous times, which made Wang Pengpai terrified.

What kind of serious injury did Bingyi suffer? Could it be reset to zero? ?

* *

"I can actually try to reset to zero now."

On the back of the Half-Life Taoist, Wei Xun gradually recovered. The unknown liquid that An Xuefeng fed him had a fragrant aroma, a bit like the juice of some plants. Wei Xun wanted to sigh as soon as it entered his throat. The vigorous vitality in it even made the ginseng slices in Wei Xun's mouth sprout! Good stuff, this is definitely good stuff. One drop can save Wei Xun's life, and the rioting pollution flames are back under control.

But when An Xuefeng wanted to feed him another mouthful, Wei Xun turned his face away. The recovery of his body was of little significance to him. The half-dead low death countdown state was more conducive to the tour guide's strength.

However, An Xuefeng seemed a little angry. When Wei Xun whispered to him what this thing was, the snake ignored him. Seeing that he really didn't want to eat it anymore, it slid down from Wei Xun's body indifferently and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Wei Xun's tail tip. An Xue Snake didn't struggle, and the tip of its tail wrapped around Wei Xun's finger, but still refused to turn back.

It was rare to see An Xuefeng lose his temper, Wei Xun was curious in his heart, and smiled to coax him. Zheng Jianyi, who was bearing half the lives of a man and a snake, wanted to complain when he heard what he said.

"Ancestor, you are really my ancestor!"

His complaints were quite tactful, the mink cubs Tong and Ge almost turned into ginseng and stuffed themselves into Weixun's mouth just now! Hearing Wei Xun say this, he was so angry that he scolded him directly.

‘Why don’t you just put this back to zero? Abyss can't even contact you and you still return to zero? Go back to zero with the pure abyssal energy of your butterfly shard? What to do if the butterfly fragments riot? This thing has not been sorted out yet. The success of the Yin-Yang Butterfly does not necessarily mean that you will succeed. How many butterfly fragments do you have in your body? ? ’

Tong Hege and Yu Hehui were both resurrected by Wei Xun, and their close connection allowed them to chat secretly in their hearts. The moderate connection between Wei Xun and An Xuefeng was closer, and they could also pull him into this 'chat group'.

When Tong Hege started to lecture, Wei Xun deliberately pulled An Xuefeng in. Sure enough, An Xueshe's mood eased a lot after Tong Hege's training. Similarly, knowing that the captain was also Tong Hege's domestication shortened... Others are listening, No matter what, you have to give Wei Xun face. Young people who are in love will always care about this.

One conversation has two benefits, Wei Xun is calculating carefully.

‘It’s my bad attitude’

An Xueshe finally spoke, and when he did, he apologized. It slowly climbed onto Wei Xun's shoulders and entangled itself with his head and neck. When transforming into a beast, people will always be more influenced by animal nature. An Xuefeng's heart almost stopped when he saw Wei Xun dying again. For a moment, he even wanted to bite him and inject venom fiercely, letting Wei Xun know that real death is never fun, and how painful it is to be truly helpless and dying.

But when he was spiritually connected with Wei Xun, when he shared his vitality, the comfort from the tour guide slowly relaxed An Xuefeng's tense and disordered nerves. He knew that he was too nervous and too anxious. He was obviously a tourist guide with a moderate connection, and he was in the same space as Wei Xun. It could be said that as long as he was alive, Wei Xun wanted to die completely (the kind that was taken back by the hotel, returned to zero) Not counting) is also difficult.

However, when it comes to things related to Wei Xun, he cannot be truly calm.

An Xuefeng answered Wei Xun's initial question. What he fed him was the essence of life, which originated from the lost ancient Maya of the astrologer's journey to the 30th degree north latitude.

It was the ruins of an ancient Mayan temple in the jungles of Honduras, Central America. Behind the ruins, there was a gourd tree growing in the ninth secret room of the pyramid-like Mayan Observatory.

In the ancient Mayan creation legend, the God of Death hung the head of the Maize God (a symbol of life) from a tree after killing him. From then on, the tree was covered with gourds and became a gourd tree.

One of the daughters of the God of Death saw this tree full of fruits and wanted to taste one. The head hidden among the many gourds and tree branches spat from her. From then on, she became pregnant. Eventually, the woman gave birth to twins. Defeating death, their souls ascended to heaven and became the sun and moon. The vengeful head was integrated into the tree and was planted on the ninth level of Exibalba (the underworld).

If the dead person successfully passes through the test of the nine layers of the underworld, then he can be resurrected through the gourd tree and return to the human world.

‘It can be said that the fruit of the gourd tree has powerful vitality that can bring people back to life’

‘Is it dangerous to lose the ancient Maya?’

An Xuefeng and Wei Xun spoke at the same time. Although An Xuefeng spoke lightly, Wei Xun could see the danger. According to myths and legends, the gourd tree grows on the ninth level of the underworld, which shows that the ruins of the Mayan Observatory are as dangerous as the underworld.

'Yeah, almost died'

But it was worth it, it was a collaborative exploration with the occult. Occultism explored the ruins of the main temple, and the next best thing was to explore the observatory behind the ruins. Unexpectedly, the entire army was almost wiped out there. But the final result was good. They brought back the essence of life liquid and some gourd seeds. These are not 'props' and can be used freely during the journey to 30 degrees north latitude. They are life-saving for their top travelers. thing!

An Xuefeng was also sorting out his emotions while telling the story. Yes, they were willing to risk the entire army for the calabash tree. In the end, almost everyone was seriously injured and half of them were on the verge of death. They were the ones who dared to fight the most and fought to the death. It was just a common occurrence for them, something he often did, and they shouldn't show off to Wei Xun because of it.

‘I don’t blame you, it’s my bad mood’

An Xuefeng hissed in a low voice. It was obviously such a big and dangerous snake, but when it touched his cheek lightly with its soft snake letter and stared at it with wet eyes, no one could be angry at all.

Wei Xun had seen An Xuefeng train people. Yu Hehui and Tong Hege also vaguely said that the discipline in the returning team was very strict. An Xuefeng was like a stern father. He always had to admit his fault and be punished. . If you don't receive training, you won't learn lessons. The fewer mistakes you make in a dangerous place like a hotel, the better. If you make a mistake once, you can't make it again.

Wei Xun didn't expect An Xuefeng to review himself first. The same thing happened last time when he fused the butterfly fragments into the vampire knife and accidentally contaminated the life-loving cat. It seemed that An Xuefeng could not blame him when it came to things related to him. He always reflected on what he had not done well.

Wei Xun, the fool who always blames himself for everything, would laugh out loud if he met someone like this outside. It is not his style not to hit the snake but follow the stick.

But An Xuefeng made a self-examination to him, and Wei Xun relented. It was like a joyful emotion as light as bubbles filled his heart. This feeling that was special only to him was really great.

‘Let’s go back and connect deeply’

Wei Xun suddenly said. He could feel An Xuefeng's mental disorder just now. The sequelae caused by long-term pollution were too serious. Wei Xun thought that he would have to show Wang Pengpai and the others if he had time after returning. As the brigade captain, An Xuefeng is also responsible for a lot of pollution from his team members.

Lu Shucheng, who likes to eat raw meat, Mao Xiaole, who can't control his desire to kill, Wang Yushu, who often has uncontrollable emotions and negative emotions, etc. Serious pollution has left a deep mark on them, and they are already in the category of out-of-control.

An Xuefeng didn't say anything, but spat out the message again, with a cold bit on the corner of Wei Xun's lips. About ten minutes passed while they were waiting for the life essence to take effect completely. Taoist Half-Life stood there with them on his back, holding on without moving. There was still time to look at Chen Cheng, who was standing far away at the edge, and Ifrit unexpectedly Wait nearby. There was no doubt at all whether Kagami was seriously injured or something.

Didn't you notice that the God of Fire was kissing his little love snake? This snake is not an ordinary beast at first glance, but more like an elf (demon spirit). It is normal for them demon spirits to be intimate with each other. If this snake were replaced by a human Ifrit, he would be suspicious.

When the intimidation around Vulcan finally calmed down and he seemed to have been coaxed, the group began to move deeper into the petrified forest. Only then did Ifrit understand others and said: "Okay Vulcan, let me tell you that he didn't mean it. , who knew those beasts could be so bold?"

An Xueshe glared at him coldly, but Ifrit had a hypocritical and kind smile on his face. He seemed to be excusing the snake, but in fact he was deliberately mentioning the snake's negligence again! Ifrit has an evil nature and doesn't like to watch dramas about mutual forgiveness. If the God of Fire really fights with this snake or even kills him, then Ifrit really wants to see a good show.

But unfortunately Vulcan didn't get what he wanted.

"You are right Ifrit, those humble beasts are too bold. But they are not ordinary beasts. They have many strange things about them, and they are not weaker than demon spirits."

Wei Xun pretended to be gloomy and snorted coldly, but after saying these words, he felt aroused in his heart. It was as if he deliberately made the enemy appear powerful to justify his failure to protect the pebble and allow it to be defiled by wild beasts.

Ifrit laughed when he heard what he said, and his heart was even more ready to move. He was a little more confident about killing the 'Vulcan' and seizing his soul and strength. There was something wrong in his heart, so Ifrit said no more and floated ahead to lead the way.

Over thousands of years, only the trunks of the petrified forest remain like densely packed thick rock pillars. There are no other marks. The forest is larger than imagined. There is a faint smell in the air, a bit like the smell of sulfur mixed with lime water. , can’t say what it is. But Wei Xun, who had been secretly memorizing the route, found that he could no longer remember the way in.

If Chen Cheng and the others came in looking for Desert Rose, they would probably get lost.

Wei Xun thought.

‘I put a little thatched man next to Captain Chen’s camel bag’

Taoist Ban Ming whispered, he also discovered this problem. It's just that the old traveler is always careful and cautious, and with the guidance of the straw man, he can go out without memorizing the route.

‘I have a return knife’

An Xuefeng said that the Return Knife can replay the past, which can be said to be an automatic memory route.

But then An Xuefeng said: "Top-level travelers will also get lost deep in the petrified forest."

Wei Xun understood that under such circumstances, the Lizard Duke chose to go into the depths of the petrified forest with the Silver Moon Killer, so he must have something to rely on. And they didn't retreat when facing An Xuefeng, which shows that the stone egg is probably very precious!

According to An Xuefeng, even though they were swept away by invisible forces, Silver Moon Killer and Lizard Duke still did not leave. Thinking of this, Wei Xun became more and more excited, especially since An Xuefeng had just told him about the ancient Mayan gourd juice. The depths of this petrified forest should be regarded as part of the ancient oasis, and it can be regarded as unsolvable! Even if it is not as good as gourd juice, this stone egg cannot be underestimated.

When we finally reached our destination, the sight in front of us was shocking. It is an extremely huge fossil tree, which can be called a forest of one tree. People are like ants in front of it. Its height far exceeds the tallest fossil tree in the world known to man!

Such a tall fossilized tree is simply outstanding in this forest, but in fact, when Wei Xun and the others were outside, even when they looked at the petrified forest from a distance in the black desert, they did not see the shadow of this tree at all!

It has no additional side branches, only the main trunk intertwined with maroon and sandy gray. It looks like a simple and mysterious altar, but there are no steps. The stony bark is as crystal clear as jade, and the lines are clear, far away. You can feel the surging heat. Even Ifrit's face had a hint of solemnity.

"Please, my friend."

Ifrit leaned forward and said with an understanding smile: "Maybe you need some time alone——"

"Come on Ifrit, aren't you scared?"

Wei Xun deliberately provoked him, but what Wei Xun didn't expect was that he clearly saw the anger on Ifrit's face, but it refused to go up together no matter what. Even if Wei Xun asked him to go out and deal with the "wild beasts still wandering outside the fossil forest", Ifrit immediately agreed!

‘It’s very dangerous, the token is getting hot’

Taoist Ban Ming was solemn and a little excited. An Xuefeng also said that this Phoenician stone egg was not just a phoenix egg, but more like a symbol of some kind of sacrifice.

An Xuefeng turned into a phoenix, with flames all over his body, leading the way. The Taoist Half-Life carried Wei Xun on his back and leaped up the tree trunk. Wei Xun also summoned the fusion flame under An Xuefeng's prompt. The distance on this tree almost became an illusion. People who did not master the flame might not be able to jump to the top of this tree in their lifetime.

When they finally reached the top, the heat was almost enough to roast people. The inside of this huge fossil tree was also hollow, and it was filled with boiling black and red magma! The top of the fossil tree was about ten meters away from the internal magma layer. If people fell down, they would definitely die. Dream Chaser only saw the stone eggs and the fossil tree, but not the magma.

Wei Xun suspected that the magma might be some kind of illusion, or it would disappear at night. Then his eyes fell on the center of the magma, where huge gray-red stone eggs with flame patterns were quietly suspended.

The next moment Wei Xun's eyes condensed.

There was a crack at the top of the stone egg!

At the same time, outside the petrified forest, a huge silver wolf lurking behind the sand dunes suddenly roared threateningly. The next second, a huge black and red shadow descended, with arrogance and anger just ridiculed by the God of Fire.

"Get out of the petrified forest, you low beast!"
