Chapter 141 Euphemia Tribe

The temperature outside was very high, and Qin Muxue could feel the scorching heat even when she was standing on the sand with her shoes on.

The sunlight hit her arms and burned them immediately.

Shi Yan observed her wound nervously, "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay." Although he said it didn't hurt, he could actually feel the pain of the burn on his hands.

Fortunately, Shi Yan had already prepared. He took out the burn medicine from his backpack and applied it on her arm. "If you don't treat it in time, it will leave scars."

The ointment was cold on his hands. He lowered his head and treated her wound carefully. "Xiaoxue, it's not good for a girl to have scars."

"It's okay. No one cares anyway. It's just a little scar."

"I care." He blurted out these words, but he felt that it seemed a little inappropriate and his whole face turned red.

Fortunately, Qin Muxue didn't notice anything unusual in the scorching heat. It was just that the two of them had been here for a long time and felt it was extremely hot, as if they were in an oven.

"Why is the sunlight like this?" The temperature outside was about 60 degrees. If people stayed in such sunlight for a long time, they would soon be unable to bear it and die of dehydration.

They didn't feel anything when they first came here, but after a while, they began to feel the unbearable heat.

Fortunately, Qin Muxue had water abilities, and she immediately used them to create a large block of ice. Standing next to the ice, one could feel the coolness.

The two of them could hardly move and could only stand next to the ice. Once they walked away, the heat would hit them in the face.

"Where are the others?" Qin Muxue looked around and found that there were only two of them around.

"When I woke up, I saw you next to me. As for the others, I don't know." The yellow sand was everywhere. Not only was there no life around, there was not even a plant. The living environment was really quite harsh. Fortunately, it was still possible to breathe.

The two of them were holding hands when they came in, so they landed in one place. As for the other four grown men, Qin Muxue didn't think they would hold hands, and they probably ended up in different places on Yanxing.

This place is so dangerous, we should gather as soon as possible.

On Yanxing, their radio communication equipment had no signal, and it was even more difficult to find them in the vast desert and in such high temperatures.

"Xiaoxue, what do you think that is?"

While Qin Muxue was still thinking about how to find them, Shi Yan had already noticed that the sky outside had suddenly darkened, and it was so dark that it seemed like it was about to collapse.

In an instant, the ground became dark and the sky became cloudy. Sand and rocks were flying everywhere. The wind was like the roar of a wild beast. Sand was dancing wildly in the sky. The air was filled with choking yellow sand.

"A sandstorm is coming."

It seems that the living environment on Yanxing has become so harsh that humans cannot survive. Shi Yan quickly asked Qin Muxue to get into the cave. This small cave was originally supposed to be a shelter for some kind of wild beast, and it was only big enough for one person to get in.

Qin Muxue asked anxiously: "I went in, what should you do?"

Shi Yan blocked the entrance to the cave, "I'll protect you at the entrance, it's okay."

Qin Muxue took his hand and said, "I'm quite thin, let's see if we can get in together!"

Shi Yan looked at the narrow entrance of the cave, which was too narrow to fit another person in. Besides, a sandstorm was about to hit. Qin Muxue decisively got out of the cave and hugged Shi Yan, "We will face it together."

A sandstorm hit, and the two closed their eyes. Only the whistling of the wind could be heard in their ears. The two hugged each other tightly. Qin Muxue felt hot and uncomfortable, but did not dare to open her eyes.

She felt Shi Yan pressing her down and whispering in her ear, "Idiot."

Qin Muxue suddenly thought of her space. She wondered if the space could still be used in this place. If it could, they could hide in it temporarily.

Unfortunately, the space did not respond, which meant that the two had to face the flying sand.

Shi Yan's protective shield temporarily blocked some of the wind and sand, but the area protected by the shield was limited after all. As the sandstorm grew bigger and the wind grew stronger, Qin Muxue even felt like she was floating.

"Fuck, we're flying." The two were caught in the center of the sandstorm.

No matter how strong the wind and sand were, Shi Yan still did not let go of her hand.

Qin Muxue felt dizzy and the two of them didn't know where they were being dragged to.

She first felt a sense of suffocation, and then was suddenly surprised to find that the two were buried in the sand.

The sandstorm has stopped, and the two were swept into this strange place, but to them, Yanxing was originally a strange place.

Qin Muxue realized something. Fortunately, Shi Yan was still holding her hand tightly. She dug the sand beside her with one hand. Shi Yan had fainted. Qin Muxue checked his breath and said, "Fortunately, he is fine."

She felt sore all over, so she rubbed her shoulders, took out a bottle of water from her backpack, fed some to the unconscious Shi Yan, and drank the rest herself.

If there was no space in this place, they would not be able to hold on for long. The food and water in their backpacks were only enough to sustain them for two or three days.

She regretted not taking the pearl out of the space. Now she didn't know whether the space in the emerald would be affected and whether the animals inside were in trouble.

"Qin Muxue, why are you here?" A voice came from behind. Qin Muxue turned around and found that it was Qu Yanbai and Sheng Xingyuan. They were wearing white robes and dressed very strangely.

"I've been looking for you for several days, and finally found you!" There was a hint of excitement in Qu Yanbai's voice.

Qin Muxue felt very strange. They had not been here for long. She picked up her watch to check the time, but Sheng Xingyuan sighed and explained, "Watches are useless here. You have been missing for five days. Qu Yanbai and I have been looking for you here. Fortunately, we finally found you, but it took too long."

"But we've only been here for five hours at most, but you've been here for five days..."

"Five hours..." Sheng Xingyuan was slightly surprised, but soon regained his composure. "Maybe there was some error in time when we traveled through, but fortunately, the error is only five days."

"Did you find anyone else?"

Qu Yanbai shook his head helplessly, "No, now we don't even know if they have come to Yanxing."

Qin Muxue looked at Shi Yan in her arms and checked his body. Fortunately, he was not injured.

Qu Yanbai glanced at the sky where the dark clouds were gradually dispersing and said, "You are lucky. Leave here quickly. Once that sun-like star comes out, the temperature here will start to rise. The temperature of the sand can boil a person."

Qu Yanbai took the initiative to carry the unconscious Shi Yan on his back and said, "Go there, we are going to the underground city."

"Underground city?"

"The surface of the Flame Star is no longer suitable for living. Let's hurry back to the underground city, or we might die of the heat here."

Qin Muxue struggled to stand up and followed their pace, walking in the desert for about half an hour. During this time, Sheng Xingyuan explained everything that happened after they woke up.

They arrived at Yanxing five days earlier and were almost killed by the heat at first. The endless desert made it impossible for them to get out. They could only wander in the desert, looking for their teammates and a way out.

Fortunately, they brought food with them, and Qu Yanbai also had wood-related abilities, so he could use them to conjure up some fruits and vegetables from time to time to eat, so that they wouldn't die of thirst or starvation.

The two accidentally found footprints in the desert. These footprints were similar to those of humans. At first, they thought they had finally found other comrades. Unexpectedly, when they came to a sand dune, the footprints disappeared here.

And as long as they stand on the sand dunes, they will sink into them.

Sheng Xingyuan observed for a long time, and seeing that the high temperature was about to roast the two people, he said, "Why don't we go in and give it a try!"

"Are you sure? You might lose your life."

"I'm sure the footprints disappear here. The person must have sunk into the sand. The temperature outside is so high now. We will soon die of heat in this area. Rather than die of heat here, we might as well give it a try."

Qu Yanbai looked at the sun above his head and couldn't stand the heat. Even with the plants providing shade, they would wilt in a short while under such scorching sun.

"Okay, but we can have one person go in first and try. If something unexpected happens, at least one person can survive."

When Qu Yanbai said this, his tone was a little heavy. If he died here, Manman would not even be able to see him for the last time. This endless desert was even more difficult to deal with than the Sahara Desert, at least the temperature was not so high.

"Let me in!"

"I'd better let me go in!"

Sheng Xingyuan pushed up his glasses and began to analyze the situation seriously. "This is the idea I came up with. Since I came up with it, I must be confident about it. Also, you are stronger than me. You can hold the rope here. If something happens to me, you can pull me up. I may not have the strength to pull you up in time."

After hearing his analysis, Qu Yanbai frowned and had no choice but to agree.

Sheng Xingyuan tied the rope around his waist and slowly sank into the sand until his entire head was submerged in the sand. He held his breath and suddenly felt himself lose weight and fell into a dark place.

The temperature here was not as hot as outside, which should be just right for him. At this moment, a man with a hideous face stared at him with a horrified expression, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Hurry up and help me!"

Sheng Xingyuan suddenly stopped talking. Qin Muxue heard the key point, but didn't hear his next words. "What happened next?"

"Later, Qu Yanbai and I discovered this underground city. Although this part of Yanxing is a desert, there is a small city underneath the desert. The environment here is harsh and there is a lack of food. But there is no need to worry about this because we have Qu Yanbai. His wood ability plays a big role here."

"We're here." Qu Yanbai stopped and the four of them stood in front of a small sand dune. "We can go down now."

Sheng Xingyuan pushed her and said, "Don't be afraid, go down first."

Qin Muxue stood hesitantly on the sand dune, her whole body gradually sinking into it. After holding her breath, she didn't know how long it had been before she finally fell out of the sand, followed by the other three people.

Qin Muxue's first reaction was to check on Shi Yan's condition. He didn't know if he had been hit somewhere, and he hadn't regained consciousness yet. "I wonder if Shi Yan is okay?"

Seeing the two people return, many Yanxing people came out from the cave, "You are back, who is this?"

Qin Muxue could actually understand what the Yanxing people said. Sheng Xingyuan explained, "They have a very developed language system. Although they speak the language of their planet, we can understand it. Of course, they can also understand what we say."

"This is our former teammate," Qu Yanbai introduced.

Qin Muxue could clearly feel the hostility of this female Yanxing person towards her.

In fact, the appearance of the people of Yanxing is somewhat different from that of the evil spirits on the Blue Star. They are much more pleasing to the eye than the evil spirits, and not as ferocious, but they are still not considered good-looking according to human aesthetic standards.

"My name is Luna." The female Yanxing introduced herself to Qin Muxue.

"Hello, my name is Qin Muxue, and the unconscious person is my friend Shi Yan." Qin Muxue looked at Shi Yan with a worried look.

Luna was very enthusiastic when following Qu Yanbai, which made Qin Muxue feel something was wrong. She asked Sheng Xingyuan: "What's going on? Why is this Luna always pestering Qu Yanbai?"

"You've already seen it, and you still want to ask me?"

"She falls in love with him? That won't do." Although they have left Blue Star, Qu Yanbai is Manman's husband. As her best friend, she has the obligation to protect her good friend's happiness.

"But don't worry, there's no way Qu Yanbai could possibly fall in love with a Yanxing person."

She thought about it and it was indeed true. "Do they have any way to treat Qu Yanbai?"

"There should be, but it requires something in exchange, and you have plenty of such things." Sheng Xingyuan chuckled.

It turns out that what Yanxing lacks most is water and food, and green plants are very rare. However, Qin Muxue possesses water abilities, and Qu Yanbai possesses wood abilities. When the two of them come here, they are about to become the treasures of the Yanxing tribe.

"This is the Euphemia tribe of Yanxing. There are probably several hundred people living in this underground city. It is one of the largest tribes in Yanxing."

They came to a dark room. After Qu Yanbai put the unconscious Shi Yan down, Qin Muxue immediately sat next to him and touched his forehead, finding the temperature was normal.

Qu Yanbai called Luna and asked her to call the tribe's witch doctor over. Luna was a little reluctant, but Qu Yanbai seemed to say a few nice words to her, and she ran out.

Seeing Qin Muxue's strange look, he explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just said I would use vegetables in exchange."

"I see."

The most important thing now is Shi Yan. If it weren’t for protecting her, Shi Yan wouldn’t have been injured so badly. Thinking of this, she felt even more guilty.

Looking around the room they were in, it was very simple. Living in the underground city, they didn't care about anything, as long as they had a place to stay, not to mention that the temperature here was much better than outside.

Soon Luna came with the witch doctor from the tribe. Because she knew Qu Yanbai, she respected him very much and made a respectful gesture towards him.

Sheng Xingyuan explained: "This is a respectful greeting."

Qin Muxue nodded in understanding and made the same gesture to the witch doctor, "Could you please take a look at what happened to my friend?"

The witch doctor was a woman who looked very old. She stretched out her old hand and touched Shi Yan's head. Then she chanted a few spells in a convincing manner, "He is fine."

Hearing what the witch doctor said, Qin Muxue was still a little worried, "Excuse me, what happened to him? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"He's fine, he just has a brain injury, it's not serious. I just prayed for him, he will wake up soon."

"Thank you." With such an answer, Qin Muxue finally felt relieved.

Just when he was about to give Shi Yan some water, he noticed that Luna was staring at the bottle of water in his hand, "Do you want this bottle of water?"

Luna nodded hesitantly. At first, she was wary of the woman brought by Qu Yanbai, but when she saw that the woman's eyes were fixed on Shi Yan, she knew that the two were not rivals in love. Shi Yan had other partners and would not pose any threat to her.

Water is extremely precious here. Their physiques have adapted to the life here and they can basically only drink water once every few days. They are still extremely excited when they see water.

Qin Muxue opened her backpack and found that there was no water in it. This bottle of water was what they had drunk. "If you don't mind, go get a basin and I'll get you some water."

Luna was very curious about her words, but she still did as she was told and brought the basin from home.

Seeing this, Qin Muxue stretched out her hand, and soon the water in her hand poured into the basin like a spring. When Luna saw this, her eyes widened in surprise. She examined her hand carefully and was sure that the water was flowing out from her hand.

Seeing that the basin was full, Qin Muxue stopped what she was doing and said, "One basin of water should be enough, right?"

Just now, she heard Sheng Xingyuan say that there is a shortage of water here, so she used this method to express her gratitude to her. I don’t know if Luna thinks it’s too little.

Luna's eyes were almost filled with tears. This amount of water was enough for their family to drink for a long time. She made a gesture of respect and took the water back with a happy smile.

The witch doctor hadn't left yet. Seeing that Qin Muxue had such a skill, he began to pray, "Could it be that the Flame God saw that we were having a hard time and sent a savior to us?"

Qin Muxue hadn't reacted yet. "Old witch doctor, do you want water too? Do you want me to fill a basin for you?"

After saying that, he found a basin in Qu Yanbai's room and was about to use his supernatural power, but was stopped by the witch doctor, "Thank you for your kindness, little girl, but I don't need it for the time being."

"Old witch doctor, if you don't want water, how about this over there?" I heard that food is also in short supply here. There are still a few pieces of bread in her backpack, which should be enough to eat.

The witch doctor looked at the bread in her hand and seemed to be lost in memory. Once upon a time, the prosperous Yanxing also had such delicious food. This time she accepted the bread and said, "Thank you."

If the space was still accessible, she could take out a lot of food, but now there were only a few pieces of bread in her backpack.

Qin Muxue was about to zip up her backpack when a photo fell out. They both squatted down at the same time. When the witch doctor saw the photo, a surprised expression immediately appeared on his face. "Where did you get this photo?"

"To be honest, it was given to me by an old friend. He asked me to find the beautiful woman in the photo, but I don't know where to start. Old lady, have you seen this woman?"

The witch doctor's face relaxed for a moment, then he shook his head, "No, little girl, if he doesn't wake up tomorrow, come find me again."

After saying this, the witch doctor left the place.

"I don't know if Shi Yan can wake up tomorrow." Qin Muxue sighed silently.

"Don't worry, at least he won't die. He is an indestructible cockroach." Qu Yanbai might as well not have said these words of comfort.

Qu Yanbai stretched out his hand and used his spiritual power to cultivate a few vegetables. "We still have to eat tonight, so let's make some vegetable soup."

Qin Muxue did not object. She thought for a moment and explained, "For some reason, my space cannot be used here. Without space, we will lose a lot of help."

"At least I won't die of hunger or thirst. I wonder how Lan Xing is doing now?" Qu Yanbai touched his pocket dejectedly. He originally wanted to take out a cigarette, but found that the last cigarette had just been smoked.

"Manman is very smart. At least we don't have to worry about her."

"If we calculate based on the time we've been here, there are still two days before the rioters reappear on Blue Star. This is what I'm most worried about."

"Not necessarily. Since the time we came here was mixed up, then it wouldn't necessarily be seven days before we return. Shi Yan and I arrived at Yanxing five days after you arrived here."

Qu Yanbai's eyes lit up, and he said disappointedly, "Whether we can go back is still a question. We have been here for so long, but we haven't found any useful clues. Moreover, the Yanxing people here seem to be hiding something from us. They haven't told us some things and are hesitant."

"One of you can conjure up food, and the other can conjure up water. It would be strange if they let you go!" Sheng Xingyuan couldn't help but teased, "But the people here are indeed a bit strange."

They once tried to cross the desert, but were stopped by this group of people. They could only move around near the desert. As soon as they went too far, the people in the tribe would find ways to make them go back.

The compass is useless here, and they can only rely on the tribesmen to lead the way. They obviously don't want them to leave. Even if they let them lead the way, the Yanxing people will only take them around in circles in the desert.

Qu Yanbai was still worried. Although he found Qin Muxue and Shi Yan this time, Li Cheng and Cai Haomiao were still missing. He didn't know where they had gone and whether they were alive or dead.
