Below, a group of desert black snakes scurried out and fiercely attacked these uninvited guests that shouldn't exist in the desert. Biting one to death was equivalent to a delicious meal.
The people from the four major families resisted to the death, some died and some were injured.
Finally, fire was used to attack the snakes, which were frightened away and burrowed into the thick yellow sand, then slithered away.
The scene was in chaos.
The poison of the desert black snake is extremely strong. Anyone bitten by it will die. More than 20 people died, including several camels. The rest of the people sat on the ground, gasping for breath and still in fear.
Liuli glanced at the surrounding environment and said in a serious tone: "We are lost."
The sudden appearance of the black snake disrupted their plans, and when they started fighting, they also lost their direction.
Not knowing where to go can be fatal.
"What should we do?" Liu Feiqing said, panting.
"We have entered the depths of the desert, and we have encountered more and more dangers along the way. Does this mean that our destination is nearby?" A young junior mentioned this, waking everyone up.
"Quickly close the map and take a look."
"quick!"
The people from the four major families took out the maps they had kept, spread them out on the ground, and slowly put them together to form a complete picture.
It's the sun.
In the center of the map, there is a round sun, and next to it are undulating hills. Apart from that, there is nothing else.
"What does this mean?"
"The sun is painted in the middle, which should mean that the destination is in the center of the desert, right? But the desert is so big, who can be sure where the center is?"
Someone raised his head, facing the glaring sun, squinted his eyes, and looked at the full moon in the sky.
Everyone studied it, came up with all kinds of guesses, and tried all kinds of methods, but there was still no solution.
When they tried to pick up the map, they found that it seemed to be stuck to something and was firmly attached to the sand, and they couldn't get it off no matter how hard they tried.
"Look!"
The map has changed.
As the sand vibrated slightly, the map, which was originally pieced together, was slowly torn apart.
The joints of each map are jagged, as if they were torn into four pieces by hand many years ago.
Liu Feiqing looked at the split map and suddenly seemed to be inspired. He said:
"Many years ago, the four major families had the same ancestor. Naturally, the ancestor did not want the family to split up and fall apart. Can we break it if we unite?"
The person next to him wondered, "We all came to the desert together, isn't that enough unity?"
"Foolish! How can we know whether we came here together or not? Our ancestors are dead now. Otherwise, how about we drip our blood together and give it a try?"
"good!"
The situation is now critical and they have to give it a try. The four families cut their fingers and dripped their blood on the map.
Suddenly, a magical scene happened:
The blood of the four people merged together and gradually spread, dyeing the sun on the ground red. The red was as dazzling as the sun in the sky, and the desert under the feet of everyone began to shake violently.
The shaking became more and more severe, causing them to stagger from side to side and almost unable to stand.
Suddenly, the desert collapsed below their feet, and everyone fell instantly:
"ah!"
“Ouch!”
In the blink of an eye, everyone disappeared, leaving only some camels, bundles, and corpses lying there. It was dead silent, so quiet that it was eerie.
