The scorching sun is burning the earth, and every grain of sand seems to be telling the hardships of the journey.
But there is an unquenchable flame burning in their hearts, which is the desire to explore the unknown and the longing for victory.
After countless falls and rises, sweat and wind and sand interweave into moving pictures.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of discovering the treasure, a faint groan broke the silence.
Following the sound, I saw a ragged monk lying on the sand dune, his face haggard, and it was obvious that his life was hanging by a thread.
Feng Feng rushed forward without hesitation, helped the monk up, and fed him two sips of water from the water bag.
The monk slowly opened his eyes, but he still couldn't see the person who saved him.
He tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep, feeling completely at ease.
The things in his hands fell out.
It's a scroll fragment.
"It's the monk who came here with us on the teleportation array!" Jin Shile recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
It seems that the other party had bad luck after being teleported here and has never been able to get out of the desert.
I didn't even have a sip of water and almost died of thirst in the desert.
Looking at the three newly found scroll fragments.
Now, the fragments in their hands have gathered into two-thirds of the complete map.
Each piece holds a key clue to the treasure.
Feng Feng's eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, and he said excitedly:
"I can almost feel the call of that power. We are only one step away from the location of the artifact!"
"We'll be able to collect all the fragments soon!"
Yunyang seemed more calm.
He carefully examined the scroll in his hand, a gleam in his eyes.
"From the current scroll map, I can already guess the destination."
This is not a game. You must reach 100% collection progress before entering the next stage.
Yunyang has pieced together the general route based on his memory.
"The terrain on this map is exactly where the lady next to me and I went yesterday."
Gao Chen listened to Yun Yang's slander expressionlessly without rebutting.
"We just have to follow this thread and the end will reveal itself."
"You said there are others holding scroll fragments. Ultimately, everyone's goal must be to obtain the artifact. We just need to wait for the others at the finish line."
Feng Feng thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he agreed.
Gao Chen heard this, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he said briefly and forcefully:
"No need to say more, actions speak louder than words. Let's go!"
However.
Jin Shile raised a practical question.
He stopped Gao Chen.
"etc!"
"Wait a minute, what do we do with this monk? He obviously can't survive on his own in this cruel desert."
He pointed at the monk who had fainted on the ground due to lack of water.
Everyone looked troubled when they heard this. Feng Feng pondered for a moment and said resolutely:
"We can't just stand by and watch him die. Let's take him with us."
The other party is not a superhuman, but just an ordinary person, and his body is very fragile.
"In this vast sea of sand, he may become an unexpected helper for us, or perhaps, the greatest gain of our trip."
Hearing this, Yunyang curled up a faint smile and nodded in agreement.
"It's just a matter of bringing one more person. Let me do it."
As he spoke, he squatted down and easily carried the monk who had fallen into a coma due to lack of water.
Steady pace.
It was as if the extra weight was just a breeze on his face and had no effect at all.
The five-man team, led by Yun Yang, adjusted their direction again.
Like a traveler chasing the stars, he resolutely headed towards the blue coast that Yunyang mentioned.
Their steps were light and firm, and they moved at a very fast pace.
…
As night slowly falls.
This reddish desert rock seems to be covered with a mysterious veil.
It was so quiet that the only sounds they could hear were each other's heavy breathing and the occasional sound of sand rubbing against each other in the distance.
The moonlight was thin, but it was enough to outline their resolute figures, which stood out particularly in this vast desert.
Not long after.
A faint blue line quietly appeared on the distant horizon.
That is the outline of the sea level, a symbol of hope.
The coastline is like a gentle arm, quietly waiting for the return of tired travelers.
There was excitement and anticipation in everyone's eyes, as if they had already smelled the salty, wet and free air in the sea breeze.
However.
Just when they were about to touch the long-lost tranquility,
Feng Feng suddenly stopped.
He stared at the scroll fragment in his hand, frowned, and said in a low and serious voice:
"Everyone stop, something seems to be wrong!"
He whispered, his tone full of alarm.
As soon as these words came out.
The originally brisk procession froze in an instant, and the air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.
Upon hearing this, Jin Shile frowned and scratched his head in confusion.
"Feng Feng, what's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Feng Feng slowly took out a fragment of a divine scroll that was gleaming with light from his arms.
That was two-thirds of what they had collected with great difficulty.
At this moment, the fragment seemed to have life and was trembling slightly.
An indescribable suction force emanated from it, pulling everyone's minds towards the unknown future.
"Do you feel it? This power... seems to be calling us." Feng Feng's words were filled with caution and awe.
Jin Shile heard this, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes:
"Haha, there are scroll fragments up ahead? That's perfect! Aren't we all here just to find these fragments?"
"This is such great news! We can just go and get it and return this treasure intact to Zhao as soon as possible!"
"Isn't it a good thing to pick it up along the way?"
However, Yunyang shook his head slightly and looked into the distance with deep eyes.
"No, you think too simply. He means much more than that."
"This force is so strong, it means there are not only debris ahead, but also people!"
It is even more likely that someone else has already gotten there first.
The situation ahead may be more complicated than we expected. The attraction of scroll fragments often also means danger and competition.
Upon hearing this, Mai Xuan frowned and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
"Is there anyone else like us, planning to intercept other teams at the finish line?"
The competition for this magical weapon is so fierce beyond imagination.
Gao Chen, who was usually taciturn, also spoke up and analyzed:
"The fact that they thought of blocking us shows that they not only possess the key scroll fragments, but also possess extraordinary strength and wisdom."
