Chapter 30 Pit

The morning light shines on it, covering the yellow sand, as if gold is everywhere.

Although the sun was still rising, the heat in the desert had begun to spread. Qin Shaofu opened his eyes and saw that Renault was already eating not far away.

I hurriedly lifted up the things I had on my body and climbed up. The ball of things seemed to be quilts, but in fact they were tied together with clothes and pants. I don’t know much mud and sand on it, and it was even more dirty. In some places, there were even feces and juices from animals, which were even more disgusting than those used by beggars in the imperial capital.

But now Qin Shaofu doesn't care about so much, because he has really learned a big lesson.

The desert during the day is like a stove, and the desert at night can freeze ice. If it weren't for this dirty "quilt", I'm afraid I would have been thirsty and starved to death, and I would have been frozen to death.

Put the quilt into the backpack and run to a sand pit not far away. Here is a simple rack, hanging on the sand pit with his knife, and a small pottery bowl underneath, with half a bowl of water inside.

Qin Shaofu picked up the bowl in surprise, licked it a few times, and then carefully poured the rest into his shriveled water bag.

This is the method of collecting drinking water by Reno. This violent coach said that only gives part of the water, but only gives part of the water. Even if he found the oasis to replenish the water, most of the water was still on Renault.

Although Renault would definitely not make him thirsty, if he didn't find a way to collect more water by himself, he would definitely be in a very torment.

I took out a piece of dried meat with skin and put it in my mouth, chewed it in no hurry, and as long as I bit it into minced meat, I drank a small sip of water and swallowed it with difficulty.

He has lived in this desert for nearly five months. He has eaten insects, eggs, rat tails, and even feces that he doesn't know what kind of feces he uses. It's already a luxury to have jerky meat. At this moment, God knows how much he misses the bread in the imperial capital, even the hardest and most unpalatable bread... Of course, he is still waiting to add a bottle of water.

After eating, he packed his clothes and said to Renault: "You can go!"

"How is the injury on your hand?" Renault asked.

"It's okay!"

Qin Shaofu shook his left arm, and there was a trace of burns there, but it had already scabbed.

This is the masterpiece of desert poisonous ants. The big ant about an inch long has a strong mouth. What's even more terrifying is that there is an extremely strong liquid in its cystic body. Once it is touched, it will be like a fire, which is extremely terrifying.

Without the juice of the cactus, the wound would spread rapidly until the person was burned to death. If Renault hadn't been prepared, he would have been in danger yesterday.

"Remember this lesson and don't underestimate small opponents."

Renault reminded him and carried his things on his back and continued to set off.

"knew!"

Qin Shaofu responded with a sunny response, but he felt a heartbroken and taught a lesson. This violent instructor was trying to make himself suffer. The "learnings" he received in the past three months were more than in his lifetime.

After walking forward for a few hours, Qin Shaofu suddenly stopped, sniffed hard, frowned and said, "Why is the water vapor here so thick?"

Over the past few months, under Renault's "careful cultivation", he has learned the ability to feel the humidity of the air through breathing.

Generally speaking, the sudden thickening of water vapor in the desert often means that there is an oasis nearby. However, the water vapor here is quite thick, not as simple as an oasis.

There will be evil when something goes wrong. This is also a truth I have learned in the past few months. When good things suddenly occur, be careful of dangers nearby.

Renault had already expected that he would say: "In a few more days, I will arrive at the Jingjing Bay of the North Sea. There should be an undercurrent leading to the North Sea, so the water vapor is particularly heavy."

Qin Shaofu was stunned and then overjoyed: "So, is this training going to end?"

When he set out, Renault said that he would finish training in the Islamic Church after passing through the desert.

Renault nodded: "What should be taught is almost done... This way, I can be sure there must be an undercurrent here. If it is fresh water, it often means hope for life. As long as you find this undercurrent cave before sunset today, we will go to Ningjing Bay to find local ants to go home."

"Okay! Why do you need sunset? You can find it before noon!"

Qin Shaofu was extremely surprised. He had already had a lot of experience in finding undercurrent water sources.

Immediately climbed up the highest sand dune and looked at the topography. Although the desert is desolate and there is no grass growing, there are many undercurrents underground.

Experienced people can judge the direction of underground undercurrents based on the ups and downs and directions of sand dunes.

After making a judgment in my mind, I began to walk along the sand dunes. Every ten meters I walked, I took a breath to determine the concentration of water vapor. The thicker the water vapor, the closer the undercurrent is to the ground, and the more likely it is to have undercurrent caves.

Renault didn't say anything, just followed behind. This was the case all the way, no matter whether it was right or wrong, he would either succeed or suffer a loss, otherwise he would not give any advice.

The direction of changing constantly became clearer in my heart. After a few hours, I finally saw the hard ground I wanted and shouted loudly: "The front is right in front."

Other deserts are not clear, but as long as this hard ground rather than yellow sand appears in this desert, it often means undercurrent caves, otherwise these stones have long become yellow sand.

"Good, go and take a look!"

Renault nodded and followed.

He is very satisfied with this student. He is not a treacherous mind, very smart, and is willing to listen to his own teachings. Even if he knows that some things will suffer, he will follow his advice on the first day without cleverness.

There are many stones standing on this hard ground, forming a small stone forest.

Qin Shaofu smelled the water vapor and searched. After a while, he finally passed through a crack in the rock and found a hole leading to the bottom.

“This cave is hidden deep enough!”

With a loud laugh, Qin Shaofu was extremely content and looked down. It was about eight meters deep inside, very large. There were ten meters in the area where you could see clearly, and there should be quite a few places where you could not see. There were many stones protruding, and you could climb like a ladder.

I listened to the sound of gurgling water. It seemed that this place was not just a puddle, but also a small river with sufficient water source.

I haven't encountered an oasis for many days. I just wanted to feel comfortable. When I turned around, I saw that Renault had followed me, Qin Shaofu immediately jumped down with the protruding stone.

As soon as he landed, he immediately felt something was wrong. He hurriedly leaned back and sank into the shadow, leaned his back against the stone wall, and immediately pulled out the knife, then shouted loudly to the top: "There is someone inside."

The wind blew through the cracks of the rocks above, and the sound of running water below was quite loud, which disturbed his hearing. After this, he clearly heard a lot of breathing sounds around him, and it was certainly human.

I thought Renault would come down immediately to see the situation, but unexpectedly, I heard a bang and the entrance of the cave was blocked by a large stone. The bottom suddenly darkened, and only some light fell from the cracks of the rocks, barely looking at the object.

Then he heard the rough voice shouting loudly: "I finally found the remnants of the Assad Pirates. Qin Shaofu, stop them first, don't let them run away, I'll call someone."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound of leaving.

Assad...Pirates...Remnants...
