In the afternoon, the sun is not as hot as noon, but it's still unbearable.
A teenager slowly climbed to the top of a low sand dune.
He started climbing from the back of the sand dune, and it was obvious that he was going to climb over the sand dune.
He has a sword in his hand, with a wooden handle and a strange blade, which is full of the meaning of rough manufacture. The boy is using this long sword as a crutch to help him move forward.
The boy is thin and not strong.
A linen underwear, long trousers and long sleeves, but bare feet.
His head was covered with a layer of clothes, and his nose was covered tightly, but his eyes were greatly exposed, and there was golden hair on his forehead.
It's needle gold.
The top of the sand dune was within a few steps, and the sun shone, making Zhen Jin squint his eyes.
He deliberately exposed his eyes, knowing that he must maintain a good vision. At the same time, he also mobilized his hearing, smell and touch all the way to be alert to predators who may attack anytime and anywhere.
The sun is dazzling, and some spots are still shining in the eyes narrowed by the sun.
Instead of directly turning over, Zhen Jin stopped very close to the top of the sand dune. After his eyes really adapted, he continued to climb.
There was no danger. Zhijin stood at the top of the sand dune and looked out.
The desert in front of him is gentle, unlike the undulating sand dunes behind him.
The boy couldn't help sighing.
This means that he has to trudge hard under the torture of the sun.
The boy's eyes are also very good-looking, with blue color, like the sky after the rain. The confusion in my eyes flashed away, which was the intention of persistence.
"Keep going."
Needle gold said to himself, and suddenly his blue eyes suddenly lit up.
"There is food!"
After practicing fighting spirit, his physical quality was far superior to that of ordinary people. He found a spider not far away, rolling down the sand dune along the wind.
Zhen Jin hurried down and caught the spider without much effort.
This spider is as big as the sum of two thumbs of an adult. Its body is yellowish brown, which is very similar to the color of sand, but it was found by the sharp eyes of needle gold.
Spiders have eight legs, but they all curl up and make their bodies into a ball. Then, following the wind, the spider can roll down the sand dune calmly.
It will be much more laborious to let it walk on its own.
In this barren desert, life has its own unique survival skills. Saving energy is undoubtedly one of the most effective.
Needle gold pinched off the spider's head, then shook his hands and shook the sand off the spider.
After that, he directly put the spider into his mouth and chewed it with his teeth. After it became very fine, he rolled his Adam's apple and swallowed it completely.
Pinch off the head of the little spider in order to detoxify it. Of course, this kind of small life breath is weak, which is very different from bronze grade. Even if it is poisonous, it will not die. At least it is silver grade needle gold. But teenagers don't want to add other burdens to their bodies at all.
The taste of spiders is not good, there is no baking, and there is no seasoning. There is a strange smell in the mouth, throat and nasal cavity of needle gold.
The taste of spider's limbs is very simple, like withered branches.
After tasting it for a while, the crisp taste is similar to that of other small insects.
This little spider is not the first one he serves as food.
Along the way, he also encountered several others sporadically.
There are spiders, scorpions, and those who can't call their names. Spiders go to the head, scorpions go to the tail, and all of them have been injected into the belly of gold.
Every time he eats, he has a feeling of retching and vomiting.
But he will never underestimate these little lives.
He knew very well that these little lives were very important water and food supplements.
After walking in the desert for a long time, Zhijin has found that he has not encountered any edible plants, but it is easier to find some small creatures.
These little creatures have very little meat, and the most valuable thing is that they can replenish water for the needle gold.
Needle gold cherishes these foods very much.
Although these bits of food are very small, the accumulation of them bit by bit may be the basis for his success in walking out of the desert.
"If I don't cherish these foods, I may almost get out of here in the future, but I finally fell in the desert."
"I wish I could meet a cactus." The needle sighed darkly.
Along the way, he also encountered some scattered plants.
But unfortunately, there is no cactus.
These plants are also small and short. I don't know what kind of plants they are or whether they can be eaten.
He tried.
After carefully avoiding the needle like sharp branches and leaves, he found that the plant roots were deep in the desert.
Such a root system can allow plants to absorb a little water from the bottom of the desert, but it also brings difficulties to the mining of needle gold.
After trying, Zhijin decided to give up decisively and wisely.
Even if dug out, the roots of this plant may not be food. Needle gold doesn't know the variety of this plant.
Many times, he must calculate the consumption and possible gains, patiently compare the results of the two, and then calmly think and make a choice.
Obviously, it's too risky to dig a plant that you don't know!
Finally, Zhijin chose to give up.
This choice is actually very difficult.
Every time I leave a desert plant, Zhijin will fall into a doubt - am I wrong? Perhaps this is an opportunity specially arranged by the gods to help me out of trouble. But I chose to give up.
Zhen Jin felt like a student in the college. He was making an exam paper that was related to his life and death. He kept answering questions, but no one gave him the correct answers to every question.
As time goes by, the sun slowly sets in the West.
In the evening, sunshine is like a rude man who vent his anger through violent fights. At this moment, his swearing and beating are weak, which makes people feel gentle.
The temperature in the air also became appropriate, but it was still extremely dry, and needle gold began to consciously accelerate its pace.
He needs to take as many roads as possible at this time to make up for the previous losses.
When the sun gradually sets on the horizon, the afterglow of the sunset and the sunset glow on the horizon look beautiful.
But this kind of beauty, needle gold simply can't enjoy.
He just felt that it was like an ultimatum or warning from the sun - boy, let you go for the time being. I will continue to torture you tomorrow!
At this time, the air temperature drops rapidly, and the rate of reduction is very fast.
Zhen Jin began to feel the thinness of his clothes, and the strong chill came, which made him shiver uncontrollably.
The boy couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
The temperature difference in this desert is very large, which is beyond his previous estimation.
This is also a test for him.
"Although I can stand it now, I'm afraid this temperature difference will become a death blackmail on my neck after my physical condition declines in the later stage."
This is a possible threat in the future. What teenagers want to solve most now is hunger and thirst.
The feeling of hunger and thirst is more serious than when I just woke up.
How can the little creatures found along the way fill the stomach of needle gold. In fact, it's not so much food as psychological comfort.
Fortunately, Zijin didn't encounter powerful predators on his way during the day. But unfortunately, this also means that he has no chance to harvest a lot of food.
At this time, his neck is also surrounded by a special "Bib", that is, the body of the desert Viper killed before.
The boy stroked the snake scales with his fingers "affectionately".
From the fingertips came the cold touch, but to the heart, this ice cooling turned into a warmth.
This is the only food left in Zhen Jin's hands, which he deliberately preserved.
On the one hand, as long as it is there, there is hope in the heart of needle gold.
On the other hand, needle gold is also alert to the risks. Eating a lot of food rashly will also consume water in the body.
As for the viper, which is originally a poisonous snake, it is secondary.
The body structure of the Viper determines that its venom gland is in the head of the snake. Once the snake head is pinched off, there is basically no poison.
According to the constitution of needle gold, even if it is poisoned, it is not afraid of the poison of this ordinary beast.
"But it's better to bake it after making a fire. After all, this island is strange and dangerous, which can't be viewed with ordinary eyes. Maybe such a snake is full of poison? If so, my situation at this moment is like putting the sickle of death on my neck."
When the sunshine in the sky completely disappeared, night fell.
"The day has passed." Needle gold looked at the vast and deep sky, and there was a loss, and panic reappeared in his heart.
He is now in a dangerous and difficult situation.
During the day, the sunshine he hated and hated actually brought him a good vision. And now in the dark, there will be more predators.
Zhen Jin took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down again.
Then he was delighted to find that he really succeeded!
With the first honing, he seems to have made a qualitative leap in stabilizing his mood.
He doesn't even need to pray.
He can keep calm by himself now.
Of course, he also knows the result of prayer. He had little expectation for emperor Shengming to respond to himself.
Late at night, the temperature was very low, and the white breath began to exhale from the mouth and nose of needle gold.
The chill is biting.
Hunger is getting worse and worse, making teenagers suffer.
His stomach had already protested, making a cooing sound.
But I feel more thirsty than hungry.
Needle gold felt his throat smoking. If there was a lake, he wanted to immerse himself and have a good swim and drink.
The water is replenished too little.
Needle gold had hoped for some desert plants, but this hope was dashed.
He didn't even see the shadow of a cactus.
There is no moon tonight, and the sky is full of stars.
Needle gold looked up at the starry sky, feeling that these starlight transmitted ruthlessness and indifference, as if watching him slowly go to the dead end.
He tried to identify, trying to rely on the stars to prove his direction, but he failed.
He didn't dabble in this aspect and was completely a layman.
Because of the right strategy during the day, he still has a lot of physical stamina left.
The boy continued to trek alone in the desert under the starry night.
Unconsciously, sand dunes began to appear next to needle gold.
"What is that?" In the blurred field of vision, Zhen Jin found an animal shadow entrenched at the waist of the sand dune.
