1736: C1736 Sandstorm!

C1736 Sandstorm!

However, this was also something that Chu Yue absolutely didn't expect. She had clearly investigated the movements of the desert before starting, so logically speaking, there shouldn't be a sandstorm in the last two days. Why did they suddenly encounter a sandstorm in the middle of the desert?

"How could I suddenly encounter a sandstorm!" Chu Yue frowned as she turned to Zhong Ming and asked.

Zhong Ming was also very confused: "How would I know if you don't know?!"

"Then what do we do now!?" Are you trying to run away!? " The sandstorm got closer and closer to Han Xue'er, so she asked Zhong Ming in a panic.

Without waiting for Zhong Ming to say anything, Chu Yue said from the side, "Nonsense, a sandstorm is about to arrive. If we don't run now, we'll definitely be blown to death by the sandstorm!"

As for Zhong Ming, he slowly sat on the ground.

"Zhong Ming, why are you still sitting on the ground in a daze at a time like this? You really want to die!" Chu Yue yelled at Zhong Ming in annoyance.

Zhong Ming slowly shook his head and said, "No, it's too late to run now!"

"We have to run even if we can't make it in time, are we going to sit here and wait for death?!" Chu Yue snapped at Zhong Ming.

"Running away will only make us die faster." Zhong Ming said to Chu Yue in a simple manner. If it was before, he would have been able to avoid this sandstorm by directly using the Genuine Qi in his body to form a huge protective layer, but with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to condense a Genuine Qi, let alone a protective layer!

"What nonsense are you spouting, Zhong Ming!" Are you crazy!? " Chu Yue asked Zhong Ming in a bad mood.

Zhong Ming slowly shook his head and said, "If we leave now, it will only speed up the energy consumption. Once the sandstorm catches up, we will be blown away!" If we don't leave, this sandstorm might be over soon. We still have a chance to survive. "

Chu Yue frowned and asked Zhong Ming: "Is that the only way …"

Honestly speaking, Zhong Ming himself was also very anxious. After all, this was a matter concerning the lives of three people. If his judgement was wrong, then it would be three people!

But in the end, Zhong Ming still nodded his head and said to Chu Yue and Han Xue'er, "Hide behind Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai."

Han Xue'er had always listened to Gu Cheng's words, so she could only helplessly hide behind Xiao Hei. At this moment, Xiao Hei also understood the crisis of the situation and sat on the ground without moving an inch. However, Chu Yue's little white horse continued to roar.

Seeing this, Chu Yue hurriedly pacified the little white horse in front of her. After being pacified by Chu Yue, the little white horse slowly calmed down.

"Alright!" Everyone hide behind the horses! " Zhong Ming said to the crowd.

The two of them listened to Zhong Ming and hid behind the horse, including Zhong Ming.

The sandstorm gradually approached the three of them.

Ciri Academy.

At this time, Yan Nanfei had already arrived at Xi Rui Academy and was looking in the direction of the desert. This kind of weather was obviously the weather of a sandstorm, so Yan Nanfei was beginning to worry.

"Sect Leader Yan, you're back." One of Yan Nanfei's subordinates saw Yan Nanfei flying back and hurriedly went forward to greet him.

"How are the brothers?" Yan Nanfei turned around and asked the person beside him.

"The condition of the brothers is getting worse and worse. They have been gone for too long … So many of my brothers have already … " At this point, Yan Nanfei's men couldn't help but sob.

"What's wrong?" Yan Nanfei furrowed his brows, he knew that the situation was already developing in a bad direction.

"Some of us are already dead because of the cold." Yan Nanfei's men said to Yan Nanfei helplessly. Although no one wanted to see this result, it had indeed happened.

Yan Nanfei sighed helplessly. As the head instructor, he had no other choice but to give the pills he had brought from the capital to his subordinates and have his subordinates distribute them to the people below.

Yan Nanfei fished out a few pills from his pocket and passed them to his underlings, saying, "Send these pills down to them. It should be better after you eat them."

The subordinate looked at the pill that Yan Nanfei had passed to him and said helplessly, "Sect Leader, these pills don't seem to be enough …"

In fact, he already knew that these pills were not enough, he had thousands under his command, plus the cold weather had spread so fast, perhaps there were ordinary people who had already caught the cold. Helpless, Yan Nanfei could only say to his subordinates: "Send these pills to those who are critically ill first, other people can wait for a while, I'll think of a way as soon as possible."

The subordinate saw that Yan Nanfei was also helpless and could only nod slightly in agreement.

Logically speaking, Zhong Ming would only be able to go to Ciri Academy in two or three days according to his previous cultivation technique. Zhong Ming would only be able to go to Ciri Academy in two or three days according to his previous cultivation technique.

"Cover your own nose!" "Please don't let the sand blow into our mouths and noses. If it does, we will …" Zhong Ming reminded them.

Han Xue'er and Chu Yue both nodded their heads and covered their noses as they listened to Zhong Ming's words.

Xiao Hei Ma also seemed to have understood Zhong Ming's words as he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Looks like this sandstorm will continue for a while longer!" "Chu Yue!" Chu Yue loudly shouted at Zhong Ming. Although her voice was loud, the sound of her voice was immediately suppressed by the wind. However, Zhong Ming could still hear clearly what she was saying.

"The sandstorm is about to pass. There should be about 15 minutes left!" Zhong Ming also loudly said to Chu Yue. Although his cultivation technique had been destroyed, his senses were still very accurate. Right now, Zhong Ming could clearly feel that the wind speed of the sandstorm wasn't as fast as it was before. This meant that the sandstorm was about to pass.

At this moment, Yan Nanfei put on his clothes once again and headed into the desert.

The subordinate looked at Yan Nan Fei in surprise and asked, "Sect Leader Yan, it looks like a sandstorm is about to arrive. It's not safe for you to go out at this time!"

Yan Nanfei naturally knew that it wasn't safe, but compared to himself, he was actually more worried about Chu Yue. After all, Chu Yue was a woman, and it was extremely difficult for her to survive in the desert, so Yan Nanfei had no choice but to make this difficult choice.

"There's no need to say anything. I know this very well, but Chu Yue is still in the desert. I'm worried that something might happen to her, so I must go to the desert to have a look!" Yan Nanfei furrowed his brows as he spoke to his subordinates.

Yan Nanfei's subordinates could only nod slightly after hearing that but did not say anything else.

Yan Nanfei mounted his stallion and sped off in the direction of the desert … …

Fifteen minutes later, the sandstorm gradually became smaller. The wind mixed with sand continued to blow on Zhong Ming and the others' faces, causing blood to appear on everyone's faces …

"It finally stopped." Zhong Ming stood up slowly and spat towards the ground.

"Zhong Ming …" Han Xue'er frowned and looked at Zhong Ming.

At this moment, Zhong Ming had a premonition that something bad must have happened, otherwise, Han Xue'er's expression wouldn't be like this.

Thus, Zhong Ming turned to Han Xue'er and asked, "What happened, Xue'er?"

"Zhong Ming, a lot of our food and water have been swept away by the sandstorm …" Han Xue'er pursed her lips and said helplessly to Zhong Ming.

One must know that the necessary conditions to survive in the desert are water and food. Actually, food is still okay, after all, there are some animals above the desert, but if there is no water, then only death awaits the three of them!

"How much water is there left?" Zhong Ming frowned and asked Han Xue'er.

"I still have a bag here …" Han Xue'er said as she wet her lips with saliva.

"I still have half a bag here." Chu Yue also helplessly shook her head as she spoke to Zhong Ming with a grave expression.

"I have another bag, which means we have two and a half bags of water." Zhong Ming said all the water he had.

"What about food?" Zhong Ming asked Han Xue'er once again.

"There's not much food left." Han Xue'er waved and said to Zhong Ming while holding a small bag full of bread.

Zhong Ming sighed helplessly. First, people needed to eat and drink. This horse also needed to replenish some water in the desert. Otherwise, it would die from dehydration very soon.

"Then what should we do now?" Chu Yue frowned as she asked Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming sighed and said to Chu Yue in a very helpless tone, "Right now, we must find the Oasis or the Water Source. Only by finding us will we have the chance to return to Xi Rui Academy alive."

"But the desert is so big, how should we find water sources?" Han Xue'er helplessly asked Zhong Ming.1

"Split up!" Before Zhong Ming could say anything, Chu Yue spoke up from behind.

Zhong Ming shook his head, "It is the most unwise choice to separate now. There is no chance for us to survive if we encounter any danger in the desert."

"I'm familiar with the desert, I …"

Before Chu Yue could finish her words, she was directly cut off by Zhong Ming.

"Are you familiar with it?" Can you tell the east from the west? "

Zhong Ming's words made Chu Yue speechless. In fact, Zhong Ming had already been prepared when they came to the desert. The compass was useless here due to the magnetic field!

Chu Yue helplessly shook her head. "Previously, I still knew which direction to take to Xi Rui Academy, but after this sandstorm, I don't know where to go …"

"Let's not think about Ciri Academy for now. Think carefully, did you see any water source or oasis-like place on your way to Ciri Academy?" Zhong Ming asked Chu Yue, because Zhong Ming was very clear that his final goal was to survive. What Ciri Academy was no longer important at all!

Chu Yue slowly closed her eyes as she carefully thought back to the places she passed on her way to Ciri Academy.
