Chapter 103 The Woman in Yellow Shirt
Ye Mo calmed himself down, and instead of going back to look for his bag, he sat down where he was. At this time, he had to calm down, any panic would make him make another wrong judgment. [High-quality update] If before this, he would never have thought of a mere ten-minute journey, and he would lose his way.
Rumor has it that there is an army formation in the Taklamakan Desert, and it seems that such a thing may indeed exist.
Although he didn't sleep all night, Ye Mo's spirit is not bad. All he cares about is his bag.
When the next day dawned, Ye Mo returned to the place where he hit the black shadow with a fireball last night. To Ye Mo's surprise, the two marks made by the fireball last night disappeared when he got up in the morning. The sand on the ground made it impossible to see any signs of movement here, but the place where the marks were made last night seemed to have been refilled with sand and stones.
Ye Mo didn't want to stay here to waste time. The scorching sun had already risen again. If he couldn't find his bag as soon as possible, it would be a trivial matter if he lost it. Maybe his life would be in danger.
Although he is a cultivator, but after all, he has only practiced two levels of qi, how long he can last under the scorching sun, Ye Mo has no idea at all. He is still far from being able to fast, and he can't even practice without eating or drinking for a week, let alone under such harsh conditions.
After paying attention to the spot for a long time, and according to the direction where the sun appeared, Ye Mo calculated a direction and rushed there quickly. Ten minutes later, Ye Mo stopped. The direction was obviously wrong. If he was right, he must have found the resting place last night after ten minutes.
When Ye Mo retreated again, he was surprised to find that the place he retreated to was not the same place as before, but the surrounding sand and stones were similar, and he couldn't tell them apart for a while.
Although it won't be out of control because of this kind of thing, Ye Mo also knows that the situation is a little serious. Before he went into the desert, he didn't have a GPS, but he did have a compass and some common tools for identifying directions. Now he has nothing and is lost.
Ye Mo knows that people who usually come to explore the desert basically have a positioning system. To be precise, there are specific numbers of latitude and longitude, but he does not. Originally thought that with his ability as a cultivator, these should not have much impact. But now he realized that he was wrong, very wrong. But having said that, even if he bought a cheap GPS, he would not carry it with him, it must be in his bag, and it would still be useless.
Now Ye Mo feels as if he has fallen into a formation.
Ye Mo is not ignorant of formations, he knows some formations, even as long as he has materials, he can make hundreds of formations by himself, but the place where he lost his way is obviously not like a formation. [High quality update] Ye Mo sighed,
Xin said that it would be great if there were storage facilities, and he would not worry about his bag being lost at all.
Ye Mo no longer ran back and forth, but directly chose a direction to leave. Now that he has lost his way, there is no point in staying here.
After two days, Ye Mo did not find any traces of people or animals, nor did he find any water source. In this scorching desert, a person like Ye Mo who keeps running around and exchanging power will be finished no matter how strong he is. Even Ye Mo felt that he couldn't take it anymore. If this continues, maybe in a few days, he will be swallowed by the desert.
After three days and four nights without eating or drinking, Ye Mo felt that the true energy in his body was extremely shrunk, and here now he has no way to cultivate at all.
On the fifth day, Ye Mo with chapped lips stopped thinking about continuing to search for water sources. He was not familiar with the desert, and he had no idea where there should be water. If he can't meet people or water again, he will be very dangerous.
But if he doesn't continue to search, he won't last long standing in the boundless yellow sand and being roasted by the scorching sun. It would be fine if he practiced the third level of Qi, Ye Mo felt a little helpless, his current cultivation base is still too low.
While thinking about it, Ye Mo suddenly found that the sand and stones under his feet seemed to be flowing slowly, but the speed was very slow. If Ye Mo hadn't had consciousness, he would never have noticed it. Ye Mo paid more attention, and found that the surrounding sand was gradually flowing to a position under his feet, but there was no accumulation of sand and stones under his feet. What's going on?
There is no accumulation of sand and gravel, which means that the flowing sand has completely disappeared underground. Disappear underground? Ye Mo woke up suddenly. Since he disappeared into the ground, it means that the place he stepped on is empty. Thinking of this, how could Ye Mo dare to stay here, his strength has already been exhausted, if there is a sand vortex here suddenly, he will not be able to escape at all.
But when Ye Mo thought about this problem and was about to leave immediately, the sand under his feet suddenly spun, and Ye Mo felt his feet go weak, and his whole body was about to fall into the quicksand.
Ye Mo knew very well that once he was taken away by these quicksands and buried, in his current state, it would be a dead end.
How could he be willing to be brought in by these sandstones, stepping on those fallen sandstones, the whole person soared into the air. It jumped to a height of nearly five or six meters.
But Ye Mo soon felt something was wrong, because even though he jumped up, the suction force under his feet was still there, and there was no place to stand around.
If it was a few days ago, maybe he could burst out and jump out of the sand and stone vortex, but now Ye Mo can only watch him slowly fall. Even if he had already circulated his true energy to the extreme, at most he could only slow down his falling speed. The true essence in his body could no longer support his continued lateral movement.
Ye Mo sighed, he never thought that he would fall into the desert in this way. At this moment, he thought of a lot, and Luo Ying's voice and smile lingered in front of his eyes. Suddenly he remembered Ning Qingxue's words that night, "This grass in the yard is something I left for Ye Mo..." He was actually a little absent-minded for a short while.
Just when Ye Mo was about to accept the fate of being swallowed by sand and stones, he suddenly felt his waist tighten, and a white belt was wrapping around his waist. Although Ye Mo was briefly absent-minded just before he was about to be swallowed by sand and stones, he would not let this opportunity pass. His waist tightened, and he was swung up.
When Ye Mo landed on the hard sand and gravel, the white belt had already been retracted.
Ye Mo was secretly startled, this skill is already a level higher than the Hu Qiu he met last time, who is this person?
Standing three or four feet away from Ye Mo, there was a woman in a light yellow dress with a veil covering her face, and she was staring at Ye Mo. Her eyes were clear and agile, and after a glance, she was actually a little peaceful.
It turned out to be such a woman, still wearing a dress in the desert? If Ye Mo wasn't a cultivator, he really thought this woman was like a fairy. But Ye Mo certainly didn't think so. Although this woman couldn't see her face, her demeanor was beyond description.
The pale yellow dress remained motionless under the scorching sun, like an ancient goddess. But the backpack behind her tells others that she is not a goddess, but also a person who travels or explores in the desert.
Her hair was a little messy, but the few black hairs that came out made her look more fairy-like and charming.
To use the words in Luoshen's Fu, "If the shoulders are cut, the waist will be as plain." The neck is extended to show off the items, and the quality is revealed. Xiu Xun flies and flies, erratic like a god, the Lingbo walks lightly, and the socks are dusty. ’ It is too appropriate to describe the woman in front of me. Really, 'It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind. '
Ye Mo seemed to see Master Luo Ying, she was standing right in front of his eyes, and she couldn't help calling out 'Master'. It was only in an instant that he fell in love with this woman, and this was the first woman he fell in love with besides Luo Ying. Even if it was Luo Ying, he only realized his dependence on her later.
The woman looked at Ye Mo's disheveled appearance and his empty attire, and frowned when she heard Ye Mo call her 'Master' incoherently. But that's all, but he didn't speak.
Ye Mo came back to his senses, he already understood that the woman in front of him must not be an ordinary woman, otherwise it would be impossible to go to the desert with this kind of dress. He looked back at the vortex bunker just now, and it had completely disappeared at this time, and the vortex came and went quickly.
Knowing that it was this woman who saved his life, and already aware of his recklessness, Ye Mo quickly cupped his fists and thanked:
"Thank you sister for saving my life."
elder sister? The woman seemed a little dazed when she heard Ye Mo's address. She looked at the whirlpool bunker Ye Mo almost fell into just now, and knew in her heart that this person's backpack should be swallowed by sand and stones, but she still didn't speak, just took out a bag of water and a bag of biscuits in her bag and threw them To Ye Mo.
Ye Mo took the things, but he didn't open the water bag to drink water first, but cupped his fists again and thanked: "Thank you for giving me the water, Ye Mo is not dead, there must be a reward."
Although the woman looked at Ye Mo's movements and didn't speak, it was even more strange when she opened her mouth. She saw that Ye Mo's lips were dry. It was obvious that he hadn't drank water for a long time, usually in the desert for a long time. When people see water suddenly, their first thought is to drink up immediately. However, although the man in front of him looked a bit disheveled, he was definitely not in a panic, nor did he have the slightest panic of being almost swallowed by sand and stones just now.
Ye Mo saw that the woman was just looking at him, but didn't speak, and didn't care. This woman knew that she didn't live in the city, otherwise she wouldn't have this kind of dress and style. After thanking him, Ye Mo just opened the bag and drank more than a dozen sips of water. He didn't drink the water from the mouth of the bag, but poured it down and took it with his mouth.
Could it be that he still dislikes himself? She has never drunk this bag of water. Seeing Ye Mo drinking water, the woman was already very surprised, but he was so thirsty that he only drank a dozen sips of water. This person's restraint and temperament are really calm.
But what made her even more unexpected was that Ye Mo actually handed back the water he drank.
The woman frowned, of course she wouldn't take back what she had given out, not to mention that Ye Mo drank the water, even though she didn't drink it directly from the bag, she still didn't want to take it back.
Suddenly the woman thought, this man would not want to give her the bag after drinking the water, so he didn't drink from his mouth, did he? He was in a desert without water, yet he was able to return this bag of water to himself?
