Zhen Jin glanced around and immediately understood that the hearts of the people were floating, and their thoughts of the young knight were clear.
As a leader, his injury can be ignored first, and the whole team must be considered first.
Pin Jin knew that in such a desperate situation, watching himself slide towards the end of death step by step, he had no way, and most people would collapse, go crazy and even go crazy.
So, he chuckled and said with relief, "everyone, you should be glad that this golden lance scorpion group regards us as a herd, and the scorpion leader and I start the king to King duel. Unless the victory is decided, the scorpion group will not attack in an all-round way."
"Indeed, we still live to this day, thanks to Lord Zhen Jin!"
"But that's right..."
"Sooner or later, we will..."
While the explorers agreed, they hesitated.
Zhen Jin added, "as long as we are alive, we have a lot of hope. For example, we encounter others, get support, and be saved. For example, another dust storm will disrupt all this, and for example, the transmission will start again, and we will leave here directly."
Everyone looked at each other for a while. Was Lord Zhijin too optimistic?
Then everyone spoke.
"Lord Zhen Jin, we have experienced two transmissions, and calculated the time, about half a month. We just transmitted it a few days ago, and now we want to be transmitted again, which is basically impossible."
"If such terrible sandstorms blow again, we will all have more or less bad luck."
"Now we are in the desert. We don't know how big the desert is and where the specific location is. Who can rescue us? This possibility is too small."
Everyone spoke in twos and threes, looking very depressed.
Zhijin kept smiling, "but it's still possible, isn't it? When you're trapped in the sand dunes, do you ever think you'll be saved by me? After I meet you, do you ever think scorpions will help us?"
Everyone looked at each other again, and fell into silence for a moment. They had to admit that there was a certain truth in Zhen Jin's words.
"So don't give up hope at any time." Zhen Jin sighed and said sincerely, "only if we always keep hope and don't give up ourselves, then there is still hope and possibility of living before death really comes!"
"Your Excellency is right."
"With adults, we have hope!"
The eyes of everyone were slightly bright, and their morale was boosted by the needle gold.
But Zhijin immediately changed the subject: "however, it is not the behavior of brave people to only hope for external help and change. What is more reliable is our self-help."
Zhen Jin glanced around, his eyes on Zidi slightly paused, and finally stopped his eyes on cangxu: "old scholar, I don't know what you think?"
Zidi's medicine is almost exhausted, and the strongest powder can release dense green acid mist. But I have tried many times before, and acid fog is useless to scorpions.
The desert is very barren. Zi Di lacks materials in her hands and can't prepare new potions.
Therefore, needle gold is more looking forward to the performance of cangxu.
Cang must detect the expectation of Zhen Jin, Shake your head and smile bitterly: "I'm sorry, Lord Zhijin, I don't have any way to change the situation. In fact, I've always been very confused. Why does this scorpion group chase after adults? I'm afraid the biggest threat to their life here is the green lizards. But they let go of the defeated lizards, and they also want to chase you closely. According to what adults told me, golden hemp is the food of these scorpions. They don't eat meat. But scorpions always list us For the first goal, this is very unreasonable. "
Someone muttered, "what common sense is there in such a ghost place?"
"Maybe Lord Zhijin provoked this scorpion group and caused them great damage, which made these scorpions extremely hate adults, so they kept chasing and never gave up."
Zhen Jin shook his head. "I did kill a few scorpions, but it is definitely not comparable to the casualties caused by the green lizard to the scorpions. As for the silver scorpion, I fought with it. It caused the injury on the arm, and my blade just left a white mark on its skull."
"It seems that we have to kill a gun scorpion, dissect its body, and see their body structure clearly in order to understand the hidden secret." Cang must give his advice.
He has a point of view that the structure of organisms determines the habits of organisms to a large extent.
Zhijin agrees with this view. In fact, he has benefited a lot from this aspect in the past exploration and survival.
It's just that Scorpions are in front of us. It's very risky to kill scorpions and dissect them.
Now it's king to King. The scorpions don't attack, but watch the confrontation between the leader and needle gold every time. If the exploration team rashly attacked one of the scorpions and dissected it, how would the scorpions react?
It is very likely to launch a group attack, and the exploration team with only a few people will be easily destroyed by the scorpions.
It's too risky to attack and kill ordinary scorpions.
The team of needle gold needs a good time.
The sun slowly sets.
It is no longer unable to look directly, hanging in the western sky, like a round iron block that was burned red after being baked.
The sun became dim, and the barren desert turned yellow.
Needle gold and others are moving forward in the desert.
Everyone has a haggard face, chapped lips, swollen eyes, hungry and weak legs.
Food and water have begun to be supplied at a minimum.
Scorpions hang far behind them.
Along the way, they frantically searched for something to eat. But the bugs and lizards have long been scared away by the scorpions. Even if they encountered several plants, the exploration team members were helpless to give up under the reminder of cangxu.
These sporadic plants grow alone in the desert. Their branches and leaves are small and thin, and their roots are developed, deep into the ground.
These plants can't be eaten, and some carry toxins. Once they are stabbed and bleed, they will be poisoned.
Cang Xu recognized these plants, so that everyone did not dig rashly, saving everyone's physical strength.
When night fell, Zhen Jin and others saw huge stones.
This is a group of gneiss.
The explorers were not surprised.
The road is needle gold collar. This place is the natural camp where needle gold once lived at night, and it is also their first destination for this escape.
With the heating of Jinma stone, Zhijin and others can survive the cold night in the desert.
They can even put the dry food on the gneiss and bake it before eating.
In other places, they would have to make a fire for heating if there was no golden granite.
Materials are needed to make a fire. There is too little wood in the desert. If they want to make a fire, they may have to burn their own clothes as fuel.
Here, they don't have the trouble of having to make a fire and save many living resources.
Food and water are the most important living resources. Clothes on your body can keep out the cold and avoid sunburn. They are also an important living resource.
The night wind blew slowly on my face.
Moonlight shines on the desert.
Standing on a piece of almost the largest gold granite, Zhen Jin withdrew his gaze from the distance.
Although the scorpions also entered this golden gneiss group, like the needle gold, they contracted their ranks, entrenched in a corner and rested peacefully, with no intention to invade.
Zhen Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
This situation is more favorable to him.
Ordinary people's vision is greatly limited at night. There is no needle gold assisted by fighting spirit, and now it is no exception.
Compared with humans, beasts, especially predators, have excellent night vision.
As for how far these gun scorpions can see at night, needle gold is not clear.
Just in case, the night watchman will never be missing.
Jumping down from the golden Ma Shi, Zhen Jin found Cang Xu kneeling on the ground, squinting his eyes and staring at the map in his hand.
Although there is no fire, the bright moon is hanging high tonight, and the light is still good.
From time to time, cangxu was still sketching some lines on the sand with his fingers.
Aware of the needle gold coming to his side, Cang Xu raised his head and continued to draw lines on the sand.
"My Lord, I'm speculating about our location, the size of this desert, and the direction of the oasis." Cang Xu explained without raising his head.
Zhen Jin nodded, "is there any progress?"
"Alas, my Lord, you must understand that this work is very difficult." The old scholar sighed deeply, "we lack enough information. We don't know how big the island is, how big the desert is, and where the island is located. Before, we were sent to the desert, and we were indeed lucky to find the oasis. But the desert lacks landmarks, and we can't judge how far the road we are walking is from the oasis."
"If the sun and moon are not man-made, what we observe is also true, and the route of travel has not changed, then our direction can at least be determined."
"If the owner of the island didn't interfere too much, then the island should still have a natural terrain. Most of the islands are high in the center and low in the edge. Therefore, if you find a river and go downstream, you can theoretically come to the seaside. But now we are in the desert..."
At last, the old scholar sighed again, "I'm sorry, sir, I can't give you more help. The current situation is quite bad. I think we need luck, enough good luck!"
"Yes." Needle gold sighed.
With a sad face, the teenager described the current situation: "our food is very little, which can only last for two days at most, and is the minimum supply."
"What's more troublesome is the scorpions. It's hard for us to get rid of them."
"I have to remind you one more thing, my Lord." Cang Xu added, "the crisis brought to us by scorpions is not just death itself. They always follow us, which is a cunning and sinister hunting skill. Like the red haired porcupine in the red sand Gobi, they will shoot stabbing arrows in the face of large prey, chase prey, and make prey lose blood, weaken and finally lose resistance in intense exercise."
"Maybe this tactic is adopted by scorpions."
"Even if the scorpions don't attack in an all-round way and don't have enough food to supplement, we will become weaker and weaker."
"It is not only our bodies that are weak, but also our hearts."
"If we are chased by scorpions for a long time, our pressure will be greater and greater, and we will be more and more vulnerable. What ordinary people need most to survive in the extreme environment is to maintain hope and peace of mind."
"I know many records that the mirage that seems harmless in the desert is actually very dangerous. Once the survivors who fall into the desert do not find the truth of the mirage, they are very easy to collapse after experiencing the huge gap between hope and disappointment, so as to give up their usual principles and even give up their lives."
