Chapter 555:

The End of Day One
Shao Qingge was helpless. He always felt that the gatekeeper was deliberately opposing him and sent his teammates to the oasis for the first time. As a result, the oasis was just a fantasy, and it was actually a desert scorpion lair.
For the second time, everyone was brought to the dunes with a broad view. As soon as the teammates arrived, there was a wide range of quicksand!
Shao Qingge didn't understand the principle of quicksand formation. However, watching Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang instantly swallowed by the dust under his feet, Shao Qingge also realized the danger at this moment. He hurriedly shouted to his teammates, "Be careful, everyone. , I will find another place to send it!"
As soon as his voice fell, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue also disappeared.
Followed by Gui Yuanzhang, and Chu Huaying, the feet of the two people were like stepping on a quagmire, and they instantly sank. The surrounding sand quickly surrounded them. When Shao Qingge wanted to rescue him, Gui Yuanzhang The top of Chu Huaying's head was completely submerged by the sand.
Only Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci escaped in time.
Lu and Tang were the latest to arrive. As soon as they received the transmission, they saw the scene where Xiaolou and Yu Hanjiang were plunged into the desert. Lu Jiuchuan simply realized that the ground was not good, and immediately summoned the Suzaku, jumped and rode to the Suzaku's. On his back, at the same time, he hugged Tang Ci's waist with one hand, and brought Tang Ci into the air.
In just a few seconds, six consecutive teammates were swallowed by quicksand.
Shao Qingge’s face was ugly, Ye Qi stared at his feet nervously, the surface of the desert in front of him had returned to calm, who would have thought that this boundless desert is like a monster that can eat people, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Long Qu and his wife, Senior Gui and Sister Ying were completely swallowed by the desert!
"What to do? Can they crawl out?" Ye Qi became more worried as he thought about it, clenched his fists and said, "I've heard of quicksand, it's like throwing a person into a warehouse full of sand, no matter what you do. Struggling, the sand around you will continue to flow and surround you tightly. Without the help of outsiders, it is impossible to survive in quicksand."
Shao Qingge simply said, "I'll go find them, I'm not afraid of sand."
After he said he was going to drill into the desert under his feet, Tang Ci quietly stopped him, "Don’t worry, Shao always, the quicksand is formed because the foundation at the bottom of the desert is unstable, which makes the desert seem to be hollow. The sphere's surface looks normal, but the sand inside is actually flowing all the time. Xiao Lou and the others were swallowed from this position just now. If you go down here, you may not find them.
Shao Qingge was startled and frowned, "In other words, they might have been washed away by the flowing sand?"
Tang Ci nodded, "Yes, the best way is to find a safe place as soon as possible and mark it for transmission."
Lu Jiuchuan rode the Vermillion Bird and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Shao, give me Li Qingzhao's card. I and Xiao Tang will find a place. Vermillion Bird flies faster. You and Ye Qi stay here to observe, in case any teammates call for help. , It's good to rescue in time."
Shao Qingge nodded and threw the card to Lu Jiuchuan.
Lu Jiuchuan took it steadily, then rode the Suzaku and flew into the sky with Tang Ci.
The big red bird spread its wings and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye. Shao Qingge held down the voice headset and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Lou, can you hear me?"
There is no response from the headset.
He just wanted to ask again, just at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly sprang out from the ground beside
It's Chu Huaying!
Her black clothes and hair were covered with sand, her face was pale and indifferent, and she was holding something in her hand... Shao Qingge looked intently, and it turned out that it was a little mouse that was very close to the color of sand.
Ye Qi hurriedly asked, "Sister Ying, are you okay?"
Chu Huaying shook her head, holding the tail of the mouse, and said, "I suddenly fell into the pit just now, and the sand from all directions poured in and buried me in an instant. The sand below is always moving and it is difficult to crawl out. Also, there are many gerbils below."
While being tightly surrounded by flowing sand, he was still bitten by a mouse. Ye Qi thought about it and felt that there was no way for people to survive under this desert! Chu Huaying was able to come out for the first time because her physical qualities have been strengthened by card attributes. She has a speed faster than lightning, and a body that is more agile and flexible than wind.
It's impossible for someone else to do this.
Even if Professor Xiao and Team Yu can hold their breath for half a minute, if they are bitten by an invisible mouse, it is extremely dangerous. Ye Qi couldn't help, he could only wait anxiously for Brother Jiu to start the transmission.
Fortunately, Lu Jiuchuan was riding a Vermillion Bird at a fast speed. Within half a minute, he sent an invitation to the team to send it.
Ye Qi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pressed consent.
After a while, several familiar faces appeared at the teleportation point—Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Gui Lao, Hua Ying, Shao Qingge, Ye Qi, and Lu Tang.
Tang Ci soon noticed that Long Sen and Qu Wanyue were missing. He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Have you seen Long Sen and Qu Wanyue?"
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Gui Yuan Zhang Ye said, "After I was submerged by quicksand, I was surrounded by sand and I couldn't see anything."
Chu Huaying frowned and looked around, "They didn't accept the transmission?"
Lu Jiuchuan said, "I opened a team teleportation, but Long Qu and his wife did not pick up, and Liu Qiao and Lao Mo, who were missing before, did not pick up either. It seems that the four of them either lost consciousness and were not invited; or... …"
Xiao Lou hurriedly opened the contract, "The name is still there, they are still alive."
However, Long Sen was bitten by a poisonous scorpion, and one leg has lost consciousness. Qu Wanyue's card has no attack ability. Although the two of them are alive now, they may not survive. It is still unknown...
Xiao Lou looked at his teammates around him, his face pale.
Twelve people entered the final challenge. It took less than an hour and only eight were left.
He couldn't find the missing teammate, making him anxious.
But how do you find the vast desert?
Yu Hanjiang patted Xiao Lou's shoulder lightly, and said, "The key now is to find a safe place to stay, and then find a way to summon them. As long as they regain consciousness, they can send them in response to Li Qingzhao's mark and Tao Yuanming. Team call."
If you send someone to find it, you can easily get lost in the endless desert, so Yu Hanjiang's method is indeed the most sensible.
Xiao Lou helplessly said, "Okay, this is the only way we can do now. I hope they can get through this crisis."
He looked back at Yu Hanjiang, and suddenly found a glare of blood on the opponent's arm. Xiao Lou's expression changed, and he hurriedly pulled Yu Hanjiang's arm, and his voice trembled nervously, "Are you injured?"
Yu Hanjiang was very calm, "It's okay, the skin is injured, and I was bitten by a mouse."
Xiao Lou's eyes were a bit complicated. Yu Hanjiang subconsciously rescued him just now and took his hand for the first time. As a result, both of them were swallowed by quicksand, and the dust continued to fall back down. The body fell quickly like a quagmire. It's useless, I can't see anything in front of me, even breathing becomes difficult...
The suffocation of "death is here" makes people panic instinctively.
However, at the moment of life and death, a pair of powerful arms suddenly hugged him tightly. The familiar strength and body temperature from Yu Hanjiang made Xiao Lou feel inexplicably relieved in the dark.
The interlocked, and Xiao Lou gradually stopped struggling.
He noticed that there seemed to be some animals swiftly moving around. In the darkness, the furry bodies of the small animals rubbed the skin, making people feel terrified. Because Yu Hanjiang had been holding him, those animals did not bite Xiaolou.
Unexpectedly, the small animal I just encountered was a gerbil.
Seeing Yu Hanjiang's wound, Ye Qi asked with concern, "Could it be poisonous? Would you like Mr. Shao to help treat it."
Shao Qingge took the initiative to put his finger on Yu Hanjiang's wound and said, "This injury will heal quickly."
Sure enough, the wound on Yu Hanjiang's arm healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even his skin recovered as before. Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Is everyone all right?"
Chu Huaying was bitten by a mouse just now, and there was a small wound on the back of his hand.
Shao Qingge smiled and said, "Does the female hero need treatment?"
I thought she would say no, but Chu Huaying said indifferently, "Well, anyway, no money, no cure."
Shao Qingge "..."
The worm king card, which does not require money, has a first-rate healing ability. With only 18 hours left to transform the worm king, Shao Qingge has also made the best use of everything.
After helping Chuhuaying to treat the injury, Xiao Lou walked to Lu Jiuchuan and asked, "Brother Nine, did you find this place? Have you seen the surrounding environment, so don't get into the animal's nest by mistake."
Lu Jiuchuan patted his chest to ensure that "rest assured, I rode the Suzaku and surveyed the area for several kilometers. Xiao Tang also sent a drone to take pictures of the surrounding wide-angle landscape, and no desert animals were found."
Tang Ci also said, "This is a flat land. The surrounding area is very barren. There are no animals and no plants suitable for growing in the desert. We can stay here temporarily."
Lu Jiuchuan raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said, "It's getting dark soon, so why don't you set up camp here, and talk about it after tonight."
Everyone encountered a sandstorm and then a poisonous scorpion along the way. They were buried in quicksand and bitten by mice. Now they are really exhausted, and the climate in the desert is too dry. Everyone has not drank a sip of water until now. It's dry and cracked.
It's time to fix it up.
Yu Hanjiang began to allocate resources. He said,
Everyone’s material supply kit has a bottle of water, a bottle of milk, a piece of chocolate and a pack of instant noodles. Tonight, we will work in pairs to eat one’s chocolate first and drink half of it. Bottle of water, put the rest in your backpack and take it with you, and eat it when you can’t keep up."
Now that everyone has limited resources, they still have to live in the desert for three days, so you must save food and drink.
At the same time, everyone also took out the reward cards they got in the weekly secret room and set up five tents. Chu Huaying and Guilao each slept in a single tent, and the remaining couples slept in two-person tents. To take care of each other.
After setting up the tent, everyone followed Yu Hanjiang's words and took out the supply cards to prepare for a simple dinner.
It is said that it is dinner, but in fact it is distributed to everyone, but it is only a quarter bottle of water and half a piece of chocolate.
The sky gradually darkened, and a huge bright moon appeared in the sky. The moon in the desert seemed to be extraordinarily large and round. The vast desert and the bright moon on the horizon reflected each other. The spectacular sight silenced everyone for a while.
If it is not in survival mode, but a few friends traveling together, camping in the desert, having a lively party around the campfire while having a barbecue, how good would it be?
Unfortunately, at this moment, they have no barbecue, no bonfire party, and no warm camping equipment...
Some are just simple plastic tents without insulation, half a bottle of water and half a piece of chocolate.
Xiao Lou ate half of the chocolate and handed the other half to Yu Hanjiang.
At this moment, a light breeze blew by, and Ye Qi suddenly sneezed and said, "Why do I feel a little cold?"
Not only do you think, we also think so.
The teammates complained silently.
Tang Ci solemnly said, "My drone has detected that the temperature is dropping rapidly. It is now close to 0 degrees. It seems that the temperature will continue to drop. The minimum temperature tonight is likely to be below minus 20 degrees."
Xiao Lou smiled bitterly and said, "The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. It can almost cook people during the day, but freeze them to death at night."
Everyone glanced at each other and looked at each other.
In just 3 days of survival mode, there are pits everywhere!
