Chapter seven hundred and two jumping into the pit
He almost avoided the quicksand pile that was sliding by his side again. His body was exposed to the skin on his skin outside his clothes, and there were signs of skin bursting, as if he was tearing his skin. His face was red and his shriveled and torn lips caused by extreme lack of water, and he endured a hot air coming out of his dry and itchy throat.
Tang Ning swallowed a few non-existent saliva, took a quick breath, supported his knees with both hands. While glad, he looked at the pile of sand beside him, which was only ten meters tall, and in a flash, it collapsed into a vortex quicksand pit. The quicksand that was rotating and collapsed seemed like a torrent that could devour all life.
"Damn, what is this test? What is it to test us? How high is the heat resistance attribute? Or test the response sensitivity? See if it will be swallowed by quicksand?" Zhou Yu was now confused and could not tell whether it was a reality or a virtual illusion in front of him.
"I have an idea." Jiang Tao simply took off his clothes and pressed his upper body. It was too hot, so it was no difference whether he was wearing clothes or not. Moreover, the clothes were sweaty and stained against the skin, and it was even more uncomfortable. The place where the skin was burned by the sun was accidentally wiped by the clothes, which made it even more painful.
"Let's talk." Tang Ning tried to mobilize his spiritual power, but there was no chance. He was bound by imprisonment and could not use any spiritual power. In other words, he could not find a channel to get water. Otherwise, water-attributed spiritual power could condense water in such a desert, and at least it could ensure that the body would not be exhausted due to lack of water. But now, if he could not find a way out, he had to endure it. In the end, he would not dare to guarantee whether he could not hold back or not. His cultivation was blocked and his spiritual power could not be called. They are now ordinary people.
It's been two days, and I don't know how long it will take to find a way out. Once I can't stand it, I will run out of energy and die of hunger and thirst, although I don't know if it will really die.
"Tang Ning, you said that this is probably a scene similar to the Qimen Dunjia, right?"
"It's not similar. I'm 100% sure that the sun above our heads and the desert under our feet are all fake." Zhou Yu rushed to say.
"It's certain that the fake one is, but I can't tell what the technique is. But there is one thing, the technique is very high and very powerful." Such a real environment and such a real feeling. Tang Ning deeply admired it.
"Since it is fake, then do you think that the concept of time in the past two days is also fake? What I mean is that the formation has affected our most basic judgment, and has errors in the surrounding time and space, or has our minds made wrong judgments?"
"What you mean is that it has not actually been two days, only a few minutes, more than ten minutes or less. Our feelings about the external environment are all wrong. Did the sense of the senses deceive us?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Tang Ning, the three of us have the highest cultivation level. Think about it, is there any possibility that I mentioned?"
Tang Ning thought for a while and nodded, "Yes! Maybe you're right. It's very likely that the senses deceived us."
"Then what should we do now?"
"I have an idea, but that's impossible. I have to wait until the end. The most important thing now is to go to the cactus to see if I can get something to quench my thirst, and then replenish the water first... Oh, I'm so blind, it's so dangerous! I almost got stuck!" Tang Ning narrowly avoided a quicksand pit under his feet.
"Be careful." Zhou Yu followed Tang Ning immediately. Although he didn't know if he would really die if he fell into it, the three of them thought it would be better not to try it easily. Everything has a chance. If something really happens, he will not even find a place to regret it.
??Cactus is the most common plant in the desert. They vary by several meters or dozens of meters in height. They usually have thick stems and are covered with spines. Some are cylindrical, more than 10 meters high and weigh about hundreds or thousands of kilograms. They stand tall and magnificent. Some cactus with spines can grow into giant balls with a diameter of two or three meters. When they split their roots, they can flow out milky white, tender, and juiced stems and juice.
Cactus that grows in the desert all year round has a special ability. In the dry season, it can minimize the consumption of nutrients and water in the body without eating or drinking. When the rainy season comes, they "awake" very sensitively. The roots of some cactus plants will be divided into dozens of lines distributed in a radius of dozens of meters to absorb water, and can also be turned into temporary water capsules to store a large amount of water.
They saw several huge cactus trees three or four meters high standing not far away, and took a few big steps towards him. Jiang Tao walked around the shade of one of the cactus trees, took a breath, and broke more than a dozen sharp thorns, split a place close to the skin of the cactus stem, poked out several cracks as thick as a bowl, quickly opened its dry and cracked lips and approached the crack, ready to take a few mouthfuls of cactus juice, moistening the itchy throat and the constant fire from the abdominal cavity. But after waiting for a long time, nothing flowed out.
Hum? What's going on? Didn't I fix the right place? I took a wrong look? After changing the place and poked several larger cracks, I put my mouth over again... But after pouting for a long time, I still had nothing!
Tang Ning and Zhou Yu were also stunned. This does not fit the script! How could such a tall and fat cactus have no juice?
However, they still did not give up. Jiang Tao felt that it might be because he was too short and didn't find the right place. When he tried hard to make several cracks larger than the previous two times in a place that was much taller than him, and even changed several cactus plants in succession, there was still nothing!
At the same time, Tang Ning and Zhou Yu gritted their teeth and poked all the cactus within dozens of meters around them. Each of them had dozens or hundreds of cracks the size of fists. They were still empty! No? There was no drop of water in the cactus in the desert! But they all looked crystal clear and green on the surface. There was no trace of water in the stems, which was not in line with the vital signs of cactus plants at all.
Jiang Tao kicked the cactus a few times with a fire, full of decadence, sitting in the hot sand pile with a look of despair. He endured the double torture of burning air inside his body and the rolling heat waves outside his body, and reached out to scratch the itchy neck of the back, and teared off a few stretched skins, but when his fingers slightly rubbed the skin under the skin a little, they would tremble in pain.
Even though I know that all this is false, the scorching pain reflected in the depths of the brain is really too real. It is no different from the real one, but here is clearly a space of consciousness!
Tang Ning also looked at the skin in the palm of his hand that was torn off from the back of his neck. He grabbed a handful of hot sand beside him, watching them slipping down thinly between their fingers, and kept thinking in his mind. Do you really have to use the last method? If you make a mistake in your judgment, you will not even have the chance to regret it.
"Tang Ning, what should I do? I can't hold on." Zhou Yu sat in the hot pile of sand in the shadow of a cactus. He heard his tone of speaking, he wanted to wait here and prepare to turn into a mummy directly.
Tang Ning looked into the distance and saw a piece of yellow sand, boundless, the heat was steaming, and the scene became distorted.
The lips were chapped, and blood oozed out as soon as they moved. The physical strength was exhausted and the spirit was not exhausted, but the distance was not far away. The three of them were all the same. If they continued like this, they would not have to wait to find a way out. At most, they would have to lie long in this sea of yellow sand for half a day.
After ruthlessness, Tang Ning said, "I have an idea. I originally wanted to wait until I was in a desperate situation and couldn't help it, but now, I guess everyone can't hold on for long. Instead of waiting for death, it's better to fight."
"It's death if you fight, but it's death if you don't fight. Then fight! Damn, the worst thing is that the bird will go up and go up and down."
"In this case, there is no choice. Tang Ning, how to do it?"
Tang Ning looked at the two of them, then pointed at them not far away and said, "Get in!"
After looking at the place Tang Ning pointed, Zhou Yu was a little confused and asked, "Wait, I'm a little confused. Tang Ning, what are we going to get into?"
"Fast sand pit!" Jiang Tao stood up, frowned and looked at the three or four flowing sand pits not far away. The pit was not big, at most a few dozen centimeters, but there was a black hole that seemed to be able to swallow everything, bottomless, and after falling into it, there would be no life. But he chose to believe Tang Ning. Finally, he asked: "Are you sure?"
"Well, sure. If the senses do deceive us and make mistakes in judgments about everything around us, then my method may work." Tang Ning said word by word: "Die, come, seek, live!"
"What if you make a mistake?" Zhou Yu also understood what Tang Ning meant, but he felt that this idea was a terrible idea. Fighting is to fight, but fighting hard is not to bet on life. Fighting can lead to winning, but bet... Nine out of ten bets will lose!
"If you are wrong, die. I'll take a step first." Tang Ning was originally serious and suddenly grinned. "I think I can win the bet..." Before he finished speaking, a figure next to him rushed out, it was Jiang Tao.
The two were a little stunned and watched Jiang Tao's body swallowed up by quicksand.
"Wait for me." Tang Ning also shouted and rushed out. He made the idea. Even if he was about to die, it should be him. It was not Jiang Tao's turn.
The quicksand pit is indeed the most dangerous killer in the desert. He eats people and does not spit bones.
Jiang Tao and Tang Ning fell into the same place, disappearing without a trace, but there was no trace on the surface.
