The one hundred and tenth vote

Everyone's expressions have not changed. After yesterday's experience, everyone has become accustomed to it. Now the only thing they are looking forward to is whether they can recover the oasis before nightfall. I have to say that they were very lucky last night. If they didn't have that oasis, they would have been frozen to death or buried by the yellow sand.

"Shopkeeper, do we still have to move forward? I don't think there is much hope." Ye Shan said.

"Maybe you are right, this desert has no edges. I doubt whether we have been wandering around the place these two days?" Wushuang also gave up.

"Brother, when we are in the mountains, we often encounter ghosts hitting walls. Do you think there is a saying in the desert that ghosts hitting walls? Will we be able to go out after breaking out its tricks?"

Wushuang had thought of it, but no one of them had any certificates to say that they must have encountered a ghost hitting a wall, and now they don’t even have a shadow of a living creature in the desert. What would have covered their eyes?

"Can I say something?" Toya knew that she had no status, so she kept listening to everyone's conversation silently until no one spoke, and she dared to open her mouth.

"We keep moving. Could it be that the sand under our feet is also moving?" The little girl's idea was very dreamy, and it sounded a bit incredible at first glance, but in this legendary death desert, it is impossible to happen.

Wushuang suddenly realized something, so he jumped off the horse's back and carefully observed the sand under his feet. The sand was very soft, and when people stepped on it, they would spread outwards.

"Huh? This..." Wushuang frowned. When Toya said that, he noticed that they had been walking in the desert for two days in a row, but no one noticed that the yellow sand under their feet was moving slowly. In other words, the yellow sand was doing uneven movements. A small pile could move, a large pile could move, and a grain of sand could move. Their movement frequency was extremely unstable and very slow, which was difficult to observe with the naked eye, but it didn't matter if a piece of sand was moving. If all the grains were moving, it would produce a strange force, which prompted the nearby sand to change shape like quicksand.

They didn't notice it before, because there was a sandstorm yesterday. Even if the wind was strong, no one cared about it. Now the sand is weak, and the yellow sand under their feet is still doing irregular exercises.

"Toya is right! We are moving, and the desert is moving, so there is no point in this desert that is fixed except that oasis, because there is water and vegetation there that locks the sand."

"In other words, the chances of finding the sand city are almost zero? That last night?" Ma Ya thought hard, but could not answer the reason why the sand city ruins were still. And Wushuang walked so far, but she still didn't lose her way.

"The situation last night showed that at night, the desert was still, so if we want to find a breakthrough, we can only reach the night!" Wushuang came to the final conclusion.

"My master, that's easy to deal with. Let's just hold on. Anyway, the desert is beautiful, so we just think it's a sight to see the scenery and look for the sand city until the sunset." Agudam said.

That's all right now. Everyone jumped off the horse and took a break, but the problem was not that simple. Everyone sat on the ground, and they were close to each other at the beginning, but as time went by, the sleeping brother was more than 200 meters away from them in a short while. The undercurrent under his feet seemed to be very fast, and if everyone hadn't been alert, they would have been separated long ago.

"How could the sand move?" Wushuang was puzzled.

"Theoretically, it is because of the magnetic field. There is a powerful irregular magnetic field in the desert that affects the fine sand particles. The sand particles contain some metal matter, with magnetic fields and metals, and of course they will move." Ye Shan explained to him.

"Maybe we can figure out where this strange magnetic field comes from to uncover the eternal mysteries of why the ancient Rouran people disappeared on the prairie overnight."

Today, everyone was mentally prepared. They prepared very well. Dry food in the desert is not important, the most important thing is water. They still only had a few sheepskin water bags. Before leaving in the morning, they all filled up water without even eating breakfast, so that in the afternoon, the bags of water bags had not been opened.

According to the current situation, dragging until sunset is not a problem. After sunset, the temperature drops sharply and they no longer need water. If the conclusion they just came to is correct, then even if they cannot find the ruins of the Sand City after sunset, they can go west all the way west and directly cross the Death Desert to find the prairie opposite.

Today, I still use the unparalleled method, tie the arms to each other with the reins of the horse, so that I will not be afraid even if there is quicksand.

Everyone sat together, waiting for the sunset. Time passed minute by minute. With a shrill howl of wolf in the distance, the sun finally slowly fell to the end of the horizon. The whole desert stopped once again.

Wushuang looked at the yellow sand under her feet carefully. The sand stopped moving and the mysterious underground magnetic field disappeared. They now have two choices, one is to walk out of the desert and return to the grassland, and the other is to continue exploring the ruins of the sand city.

"Shopkeeper, we have to go back. According to the course, we can travel 500 miles in one night. We will definitely be able to return to Korchin before sunrise." Ye Shan was very rational.

"If you are women, what are you afraid of following me? Seeing victory in sight, there must be treasures everywhere in the sand city! Isn't our brothers going through life and death just to make money? When will we wait until we don't take it now?" How could Agudam give up seeing the opportunity to make money?

Wushuang looked at Ma Ya, but he couldn't make a decision. According to his own wishes, he would never look back until he saw Shacheng. But now it is different. So many people's lives are in their hands. If something happens, he will be sorry to his brothers. He said that he would bring everyone out of the desert alive.

"What do you think I'm doing? Don't you have an idea in your mind?" Ma Ya understood Wushuang, and based on his personality, she would not give up easily. Even if she stopped her, she couldn't stop her. But Ma Ya did not make a clear statement. She knew that his words had changed everyone's destiny, and she dared not say this easily.

"Toya, what do you think?" Wushuang pulled the little girl over and let her sit beside her. Toya did not expect that Wushuang would trust her at this critical moment. After all, she had just joined this crazy big family, and it was logical that she did not have the right to speak.
