Even the road they came from was now buried in yellow sand, and no trace could be found.
In the endless yellow sand, there are only two figures, one green and one purple, leaning closely together.
Shi Meng felt something strange about him, tightly grasped his sleeves, and whispered: "Could it be that he was tricked by that broken bird demon? That day in the laurel forest, I deliberately led him westward to the desert, and now
I'm afraid he has already seen through it." Xi Meng leaned her head on Mu Zili's shoulder, feeling slightly panicked, "It's too bad. If I had known that I would encounter that broken bird demon so soon, I should have taken care of him when the master was here.
The old man needs a magic weapon for self-defense!" Speaking of the magic weapon, she suddenly remembered the dragon turtle jade pot, raised her head and said: "Mu Mu, can the jade pot master gave you contain the bird demon?"
"This..." Mu Zili hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master told me that day that this dragon turtle bone jade pot was specially made for the imprisoned animal bones. It must not be opened rashly. Otherwise..."
Xi Meng heard the words and nodded. She naturally understood the power of the animal bones, but if the vast desert in front of them was really an illusion cast by Que Hentian, how could they escape?
When she was thinking wildly, the hand that was holding Mu Zili was already in his palm, and she heard his voice like a clear spring, saying slowly: "Don't be afraid, even if it is really him, I will never let him hurt you.
Every cent."
Although it is a simple promise, it is worth a thousand words to her.
No matter how many hardships she goes through, she will always feel at ease with him by her side.
As the afterglow of the sun gradually dissipated, the originally hot air softened slightly, and her heart gradually calmed down.
"Hey! Let's make peace with what we have come. It's just a desert. It's no big deal. As long as we can find Yifeng and the others, that'll be fine." Simeng shrugged pretending to be relaxed, and her originally dark purple eyes gradually regained their luster.
, "That broken bird might have been eaten by the monster in the desert long ago, hee hee..."
Seeing that she had the strength to joke again, Mu Zili's heart relaxed and he still held her hand and walked against the wind.
But until night fell and the cold wind blew past their faces like steel knives, they still could not find any trace of Nishizawa Valley.
The waning moon was in the sky, and although the light was dim, it could barely be used as a beacon.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, and water mist can be breathed out when breathing. Although Xi Meng has spiritual power to protect himself, he shivers unconsciously at this moment, and rubs his hands back and forth to increase some heat.
"Mumu, flying down like this is not an option. Why don't we go down and find a place to rest for the night, and wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving." She was shivering from the cold, and she could hear the sound of her teeth chattering when she spoke.
She felt that they were slowly descending, and her feet finally touched the ground again. However, the sand that had been hot on her feet during the day was as cold and biting as ice. Waves of chill ran straight from the soles of her feet into her heart. She couldn't help but hit it again.
Got chills.
Mu Zili took two steps closer to her, hugged her tightly in his arms, and put his thick palms close to her waist. The warmth slowly entered her Dantian, and the coolness just now weakened slightly.
Under the faint moonlight, she secretly looked at him, her thick eyebrows slightly frowned, and a hint of sadness flashed through her handsome eyes.
She knew that he was worried about her, worried about her body, worried that she wouldn't be able to withstand the sudden change of climate, and also worried that the broken harpy would take her away from him.
She suddenly stood up on her tiptoes, covered his lips with her index finger, and stroked him gently. Her purple eyes stared into his, and she said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Her words made Mu Zili startled. He seemed to have never thought that his thoughts would be broken by her. Suddenly, red clouds flew up from his cheeks. He lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Just now in mid-air, I checked carefully.
Okay, this is not an illusion deliberately set up by someone. In other words, the power of Que Hentian is not enough to set up this situation in the human world. I am afraid that we have really lost our way and accidentally walked into Longhai.
The desert of bones.”
Xi Meng was both happy and surprised when he heard this. Naturally, he was happy because he didn't have to deal with that bird demon, but he was shocked because he was talking about the desert of bones.
Although the desert was no stranger to her, it was the first time she had heard such a terrifying name as the Dry Bone Desert.
But as far as she knew, the current topography of Kyushu was from the Yun Kingdom to the west, which was the Xia Kingdom that had dominated Kyushu for many years, but she had not heard that there was a desert between the two countries.
If she remembered correctly, although they lost their way, they were generally heading west.
"Why have I never heard Long Hai talk about the Bone Desert? How far is this place from Xize?" She was eager to know where they were and where the Xize Valley was hidden.
"Don't worry, Xize Valley is a holy land hidden in the world. It's not that easy to find." Mu Zili started to use magic to plant dense bodhi trees within a radius of three feet to prevent them from being attacked at night.
The beast in the desert was sneaking up on him while he kept looking sideways at Shi Meng, "As for the Desert of Bones, it's actually not that scary. It's just an uninhabited desert on the northwest border. In the past, Long Hai followed his father to travel to various countries to do business.
, many years ago when traveling to the Northland, the caravan got lost in this desert. I heard from him that it was winter at that time, and the desert was as hot as summer during the day, but it was bitingly cold at night. Although they were wearing thick cold clothes, they were still
There was a weak person who could not survive until dawn. At that time, he had just experienced the pain of losing his mother. Naturally, he could not see life and death, so he called this place the 'Desert of Bones'."
It turns out that her disciple, who usually looks so free and easy, still can't let go of his mother's early death deep down in his heart. Although he has good food and clothing, he followed his father all over the world at a young age, and the hardships were only for him.
You know it yourself.
"I don't know how many mortal bones are buried in this boundless desert. It's normal for Long Hai to be scared at a young age. Not to mention him, I'm afraid those who survived in the caravan will also be frightened." Shi Meng sighed softly.
, look up at the sky, the stars are shining brightly, the desert in front of you looks very scary, but you can see the endless galaxy when you look up, it is really beautiful.
Xi Meng was looking at the vast galaxy in a trance, but found that the cold wind and coolness had gradually disappeared. He turned around and saw that the Bodhi leaves around him were large and continuous, entangled with each other, and completely blocked all the wind vents.
At this moment, they seemed to be in a spacious and comfortable tree house, leaving only the starry sky above their heads, smelling the faint fragrance of wood, and their tense nerves finally relaxed like a dream.
Turning around and walking to Mu Zili, she saw that he was carefully making her bed with wide and soft leaves. She felt warm in her heart. She hugged his waist tightly from behind and pressed her cheek against his strong back. She felt
His back visibly stiffened, and the leaves in his hands fell to the ground with a swipe.
