Simultaneous travel: I have forged an immortal name in the heavens

Chapter 13 Second Ability [Desertification]

The ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue were completely buried by yellow sand.

If it weren't for the unbearable heat and thirst that were bothering everyone, everyone would have thought it was a strange dream.

"Ahem. Lao Hu, do you have any more water?"

Yang An and Hu Bayi worked together to dig the fat man out from his half-buried state.

As soon as the fat man opened his eyes, the first thing he asked was if he had any water to drink.

Everyone shook their heads.

Except for drinking some water when escaping yesterday, no one had drunk a drop of water for a whole day and night.

Professor Chen's low-grade fever became more serious, he began to talk nonsense, and showed signs of dehydration.

"Gone."

Hu Bayi looked depressed, he had escaped from desperate situations many times, but this time he saw no hope of survival and could only sit there in a daze - waiting to die.

At this time, Uncle Anliman appeared and spoke bitterly about a worse news.

The wind and sand were so strong yesterday that when they woke up this morning, several camels had disappeared without a trace, dragging their luggage with them, taking away their remaining precious water and most of their food. Now they only had six camels left.

Anliman wanted to go over and look for it, but there was no trace of anything in the vast sea of ​​sand or the golden wavy sand.

The fat man's mouth was dry, but he still didn't give up and opened the remaining packages to take a look.

Definitely not.

Finally, he gave up and sat down on the sand.

结果
"Fuck! It's so hot! How can the sun be so strong? I'm already tanned like this after just a short while."

The fat man jumped up from the ground, looking a little upset.

After all, he escaped from the ghost cave and overcame all kinds of difficulties, but in the end he was going to die of thirst here.

That would be better than being bitten to death by a snake in a ghost cave. At least it is cooler there and there is water to drink.

Hu Bayi sighed.

He struggled to get up, walked to the fat man with one step deep and one step shallow, patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"Fatty, save your energy. We will find a way. There is always a way out. I will observe the celestial phenomena at night and maybe I can..."

the other side.

Yang An followed Shirley Yang to check on Professor Chen.

Shirley Yang had a worried look on her face.

"Professor Chen is in very poor condition. I'm worried that he won't be able to hold on."

Even at this moment, Shirley Yang is still concerned about Professor Chen.

Yang An found a sun hat and put it on his sister, comforting her: "Don't worry, sister, Professor Chen is a lucky person, and he will definitely be able to persevere."

To be honest, there is nothing I can do if I can't hold on.

In the original novel, at the end, there is not much space left before everyone successfully survives.

But you are actually in the depths of this vast desert where it is so dry that not a single blade of grass grows and there is no human habitation.

Only then can you know how desperate it is.

The hot sun is emitting heat all the time, burning everyone.

The temperature can quickly rise to over 40 degrees, or even reach a terrifying 50 degrees. In this situation, people will soon be sunburned to death without any water source or shelter from the sun.

In the end, the bodies will turn into charcoal and be buried by wind and sand. No one will know their whereabouts, and they will become the second missing archaeological team.

While Uncle Anliman was praying persistently, Hu Bayi came to Yang An to discuss countermeasures.

Now if they want to reach their destination safely, it will take at least seven days of journey, and even if they drink their own urine and camel blood along the way, they may not be able to hold on.

That's what the words imply.

Can Master Yang use his superpowers to find water?

To be honest, Hu Bayi himself didn't have any expectations.

Yang An smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was not a god.

Let him think about how Hu Bayi and the others escaped?

It seems like I met Hu Da’s messenger, a rare albino wild camel?
No, it should be said that it was the magical white camel that led everyone to find a spring.

But now there is no trace of camels in the vast sea of ​​sand.

But telling the truth and attacking Hu Bayi is not an option either.

At this point, Yang An himself was unwilling to give up hope!

So Yang An comforted Lao Hu.

"The prophet and the saints will bless us to leave here safely."

Such empty talk made Hu Bayi a little disappointed.

"Well, I hope so."

But he thought again, maybe the prophet had predicted this. Since he didn't write it down in the parchment book, then they would have a chance of survival as long as they escaped from Zagrama Mountain.

Otherwise why guide them out?

Thinking of this, Hu Bayi nodded: "Then let's continue walking?"

"Let's keep going. We can't just sit here and wait to die."

Yang An clenched his fists, feeling the changes brought about by his physical fitness that was four times that of an ordinary person. He was no longer an ordinary person, but a being beyond ordinary people.

It allows him to resist extreme heat and cold, and closes the pores all over his body to prevent a large amount of water loss. He is still very energetic.

If there is anyone who hopes to leave, perhaps only Yang An, but he doesn't want to do so.

"Well, I'll lead the team, and Lao Hu, you go and tell Fatty and the others to set off. It's not a good idea to just sit there."

"it is good."

Wait for Hu Bayi to nod and go back.

Yang An was just about to pull up all the camels and get ready to set off as soon as possible.

His body suddenly trembled, as if an electric current surged through him, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

This scene was not noticed by others. Everyone was mentally exhausted and had no energy to care about others.

But Yang An felt that his hands were changing to some extent.

Itching and pain
Under Yang An's horrified eyes, his hands that were supporting the ground began to turn into sand rapidly.

What's happening here?
At first, Yang An thought he was cursed and was going to turn into sand and die here.

But soon, he found something wrong.

Although his palms turned into yellow sand, he could still feel the existence of his hands...as if they were one with the sea of ​​sand.

【Desertification】

[After experiencing the baptism of a super-duty sandstorm, it has evolved the ability to control sand and gravel, and can turn its body into sand]

Thanks to a life-and-death crisis last night, Yang An had unknowingly evolved a second ability.

“Isn’t this the Sandman?”

Yang An murmured in surprise.

I thought of the Sandman in Marvel's Spider-Man movie, who also gained the ability to turn into sand after accidentally entering an experiment.

You can drive the sand as you wish.

To be honest, the Sandman's combat effectiveness is not particularly high.

But there are many reasons.

On the one hand, the Sand Man is afraid of water, and on the other hand, there is not enough sand in New York for the Sand Man to display his full abilities.

If the battlefield were placed in the desert, the power that the Sand People could exert would be unimaginable.

Yang An just needs this superpower now.

He discovered after careful feeling.

With his hands turned to sand, he could feel every move within a ten-kilometer radius.

It was this perception ability that allowed Yang An to "see" a familiar figure in the distance.

It is the white camel in the original book.

There is help!!!
Yang An thought it was an illusion at first, but when he was sure, he couldn't hide his excitement and jumped up from the ground.

The arm that had turned into sand quickly returned to normal.

Behind them, Hu Bayi and the others were still unaware of the change that Yang An had just undergone.

"Let's go! Let's go quickly. I found the way."

Yang An didn't care about exposing his strength, it had already been exposed, right?

Needless to say, Shirley Yang will definitely help keep the secret.

Hu Bayi and Fatty are now both trustworthy teammates, and we are all on the same boat.

Yang An quickly led the camel and shouted towards them.

"???"

Hu Bayi was at a loss as he was carrying luggage with the worried-looking fat man.

Turning around, he saw Yang An with a happy face. He looked at the fat man and realized something.

"Little Master Yang, have you received the prophet's revelation?"

They didn't notice that one section of Yang An's little finger had turned into sand and was sensing the white camel in the distance.

Seeing that the white camel was about to disappear, Yang An had no time to explain so much.

"Don't ask, just follow me!"
