Chapter 37 Sandstorm Season 01 Save Xiaobai and find out about Mingzhu. …
Quicksand, a rare but deadly phenomenon in the desert.
In the endless yellow sand, there is occasionally a piece of wet and shaking ground. It looks gentle and harmless, but it can swallow all life.
Jiang Runian rushed out of the inn in a hurry and was suddenly scorched by the scorching heat - the sky had been gloomy for an entire hurricane season, and without warning, it turned into a blazing sun like fire, and the air around him became distorted.
Not far from the inn, a vortex of quicksand was surging.
The grains of sand were like countless greedy little hands, tightly grasping the snow-white fur and dragging it deeper into the water bit by bit.
“Junior sister! Come and help us! We can’t pull it out no matter how hard we try!” Liu Yinshuang and Feng Yuechen each grabbed a rabbit leg. “Damn it, Xiaobai, what have you eaten recently? Why is it so heavy?”
Jiang Runian shouted as he ran, "Try to pull it flat and slowly, don't pull it straight up and down! And Xiaobai, don't flutter, or you'll sink deeper!"
Xiaobai understood what she said and calmed down immediately.
The two of them squatted on the safe and solid edge, and rescued Xiaobai sideways little by little, and finally pulled half of Xiaobai's head out.
When Jiang Ruunian approached, he saw Xiaobai with his limbs crawling on the ground with his head facing downwards.
Normally, if you fall into quicksand, you will leave your head outside, right? Unless...
A terrible thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Ruonian shouted anxiously: "Xiaobai! Use your claws to gently exert force on the quicksand and slowly float yourself up as if you were on the water. Don't let go!"
After working hard for a while, they finally dragged out the whole rabbit head.
When they saw what Xiaobai was holding in his mouth, they were shocked to find that it was not that Xiaobai had eaten too much, but that he was holding a living person in his mouth! !
The man had been buried in the quicksand, his body was covered in yellow and black mud, and he had obviously fainted. In this situation, saving him was not only difficult, but it was also very likely to drag everyone down with him.
Jiang Runian gave a wink, and Feng Yuechen immediately received the message. He took out a bottle of "refreshing pills" newly developed with herbs such as mint and rosemary, and threw it in while pinching the black clay man player's chin.
Soon, the clay man woke up a little.
After seeing the situation clearly, the clay man was immediately overwhelmed by panic.
Jiang Runian knelt in front of the clay figurine and conveyed his instructions to Xiaobai to her in a deep voice.
The silently moving quicksand was like a huge mouth of the abyss, but the voice of the young man before him was clear and bright, like a handful of mountain spring water, washing away some of the uneasiness.
After another long period of burning, the clay man finally escaped from the huge mouth of the abyss.
She vomited several times, spitting out the mud and sand in her mouth, looking very miserable. Everyone supported her and staggered her into a room to wash up.
Jiang Runian was washing Xiaobai in the backyard and asked, "Did you go out because you heard someone calling for help? It's so early, isn't there a polar night disaster?"
Xiaobai nodded twice in a row.
It seems that the world has officially entered the sandstorm season since early this morning.
There is polar night during the sandstorm season, but there is no polar night disaster that starts at 10 o'clock every day. The length of polar night is also slightly shorter than that of hurricane season. Every day for twelve hours, it is all torturous scorching sun and yellow sand.
Jiang Runian looked back at the world covered with yellow sand.
Overnight, the entire ground turned into a desert.
Is this the nature of the game?
The wind and sand formed a vague yellow line in the distance, gradually approaching Qingshan Inn.
Quicksand may appear everywhere outside the shelter of the inn. What should we do if a guest comes and accidentally falls into it?
At this time, Li Fu suddenly spoke up: "Anian, how about we build some roads outside?"
Obviously, the Qingshan Sect had the same idea.
The only craftsman Chu Yu immediately rejected this option, "It's unrealistic. By the time the road is paved, who knows how long it will take. Moreover, road construction has been a major project since ancient times. We are a small inn and we don't have the spare capacity for it."
If she discussed with other settlements about building roads together, maybe she could reach an agreement for Jiang Runian's sake, but she didn't intend to do so.
Natural disasters change every day. Who knows how long the repaired road will last?
Feng Yuechen raised his head to the sky and sighed: "Alas... it would be great if Master's sword-controlling skills could still be used. I shouldn't have laughed at Master for being a coachman for cultivating immortals..."
Bai Yexuan: “.”
Now that you know it, please don't mention it again.
Jiang Runian nodded his chin in thought.
Indeed, if you have a flying mount, dealing with the sandstorm season is a piece of cake.
She turned her head quietly and stared at Xiaolu who was chewing the cabbage lazily.
Xiaolu: “…”
Don't look at me. Even if you look at me, I can't grow wings!
"Anian, where did you learn about Longnan Yuanxu last time?" Bai Yexuan pondered, "If we can still catch a flying one..."
After all, it is the boss. With its physique and speed, quicksand is far from threatening it.
But the Qingshan Inn only had one little green car, which could only carry two players from the settlement at best. Sooner or later, the inn would have to expand its business territory, and if it didn't find a few more mounts, the little green car would die of exhaustion on the way one day.
Moreover, the last person who provided information was Sui Yan.
We still don’t know how hard it is for Sui Yan to be in the organization.
She didn't dare to contact them rashly. What if that evil organization discovered the existence of Qingshan Inn and took advantage of them going out to explore and quietly destroyed the bodies?
If you want to survive in this world, you must never bring disaster upon yourself!
After a while, a strange noise came from the Tianzi Room on the second floor.
A neatly dressed woman wearing a newly made cotton dress from Shuguang Town stumbled down the stairs and spoke with a weak breath, "I will never forget your life-saving grace... My name is Xie Moyue, and I will definitely repay you in the future..."
Liu Yinshuang waved her hands and said generously: "Hey, why are you being polite? This is not the first time we have saved people, right, A Nian?"
…
Most of them were saved by you, Big Sister!
"The sandstorm is so dangerous, why are you here?"
"No matter how dangerous a sandstorm is, it is much better than a hurricane, so I came here to look for my relatives as soon as the hurricane was over."
"…Looking for relatives?"
"Yes. Before the game came, I was working in another place, and my elders were all in my hometown. The exploration level of the eighth district map was too low before, and I couldn't guess where they were, so I came now." Xie Moyue looked depressed, "But I didn't see a settlement all the way here. I'm afraid it was hit by the hurricane..."
Isn’t this a coincidence?
Xie Moyue really came to the right place.
Jiang Runian smiled and said, "During the days of the hurricane, the inn and the two large settlements in the southwest area took in a lot of players from the idle settlements. Maybe they can help you."
Hearing this, Xie Moyue stood up with excitement and excitement on her face. She was about to say something when she suddenly felt dizzy and her face was instantly filled with pain.
Seeing this, Feng Yuechen hurriedly helped her sit down, felt her pulse and fed her medicine smoothly: "I think your meridians were injured in the quicksand, and the excitement just now caused disorder. I don't know if the Tianzi room can cure internal injuries..."
Li Fu tilted her head: "Second Brother, you know acupuncture, that's the most effective!"
Chu Yu had previously helped him sharpen a set of silver needles, but apart from helping the two elders relieve fatigue, he had never tried it on a guest, so he didn't know if acupuncture would be effective in this game.
But seeing Xie Moyue struggling in pain, Feng Yuechen took a deep breath and gave her a few needles at the acupoints of her spine.
From the initial pain that made it hard to breathe, to the numbness and swelling when the needle was inserted, to the pain that gradually subsided after the needle was removed... Xie Moyue half-collapsed on the side of the bed, his pupils dizzying, in disbelief.
This... Such a remote little inn actually has such a skilled doctor? !
After Feng Yuechen left, Xie Moyue's shock took a long time to subside.
There was a pot of water on the table. Xie Moyue poured a glass, took out a pill from the wooden bottle, and followed the doctor's instructions.
The moment the pill was swallowed, the blood bar that had been losing blood due to quicksand damage and nerve damage was instantly replenished!
Not only that, she took another sip from the cup, her expression stiff: This water, clean, colorless and tasteless, is even purer than the water supply in her town? !
After walking in the desert for a night and being tormented by quicksand, Xie Moyue was severely dehydrated and drank a bottle of water in just ton tons.
She pushed the door open and went downstairs, wanting to ask the clerk for another pot of tea, and happened to meet Jiang Runian who had just returned from farming.
"Boss Jiang?" Xie Moyue noticed the remaining seeds and some mud in her hand with her sharp eyes, "Does your inn grow its own vegetables?"
Jiang Ruunian wiped his fingertips calmly and nodded.
“Can I see your farmland?”
"No." Jiang Runian smiled politely.
Her intuition told her that Xie Moyue was not a bad person like Song Chi, but her request was indeed a bit excessive.
The Qingshan Sect's special abilities are hidden as much as possible. Although outsiders cannot learn them, a big tree attracts the wind. Now the Qingshan Inn is still relatively weak. If it were to be known, it would become someone's thorn in the eye.
Fortunately, I asked Chu Yu to build a mechanism door at the entrance to the backyard some time ago, and asked the system to add permissions to the door so that only internal employees can enter and exit.
Jiang Ruonian was busy at the counter, and naturally changed the subject: "Why did you come downstairs? Didn't you get enough rest?"
"No, no," Xie Moyue shook the ceramic kettle in her hand, "I just want some more water."
The customer is God, Jiang Ruunian immediately filled the kettle.
When she handed it to Xie Moyue, she spoke as if chatting, "By the way, you walked all night to get here, you must live far away, right?"
Xie Moyue took a sip, put down the kettle, and thought for a moment: "It's indeed not close. I live in Mingzhu Town in the Eye of the Desert. Just go northeast from here."
……northeast?
The hibiscus at the end of the year also drifts towards the northeast.
"It's actually in the northeast," Jiang Ruonian said with a slightly open mouth, looking like he had never seen the world before. "I heard there are many powerful players and organizations over there."
When it comes to this, Xie Moyue straightened his chest unconsciously.
"Of course not! Our Mingzhu Town is the most prosperous town in the Western Continent. There are many top players and organizations! I'm not exaggerating, we've swept across the Western Continent!"
From Xie Moyue's proud narration, Jiang Runian finally learned about the land composition of the eighth district.
It turns out that the Eighth District is not an entire continent. Among the currently known land towns, the most powerful is Longcheng in the northern continent, followed by Mingzhu Town in the western continent - the land where Qingshan Inn is located.
When the game came, players in the Western Continent quickly found a wide and flat resource-intensive area to set up shelters, and safely passed through the first hurricane season.
When the sandstorm season came, everyone thought that Mingzhu Town was doomed, but no one expected that overnight, that plain would become the only oasis!
Since then, this oasis area has been called the Eye of the Desert. And Mingzhu Town, which looks like a shining pearl at night, is called Mingzhu Town. It is even more prosperous and has developed into a first-class town with a population of over ten thousand.
It is indeed a big town that has been developing for a year.
You have to know that there are only a few hundred people in the entire southwest border.
Jiang Runian said with envy: "That's amazing! The hurricane a few days ago should not be a threat to you at all!"
Xie Moyue nodded proudly: "The protective shield of Mingzhu Town has reached level 7, which is completely sufficient for gathering and killing monsters in the shelter! The mayor also issued instructions in a timely manner, and there were almost no casualties! And-"
After a lot of explanation, Xie Moyue suddenly realized, "Boss Jiang, are you interested in our Mingzhu Town?"
Jiang Runian couldn't help laughing.
It was Xie Moyue who tried to pry into the inn's secrets just now, so of course she had to get it back.
Jiang Runian suppressed his smile and said calmly, "Yes, I want to expand the inn business to Mingzhu Town."
Hearing this, Xie Moyue breathed a sigh of relief.
She waved her hands repeatedly: "You're overthinking! There are a lot of high-end hotels in Mingzhu Town, as well as many pubs, pharmacies, and snack bars. I admit that your inn has its merits, but it's impossible for us to come all the way from Mingzhu Town!"
Jiang Runian raised his eyebrows but did not comment.
The next morning.
A scream came from the Tianzi room.
Xie Moyue rushed downstairs, grabbed Jiang Runian's shoulders and shook him madly: "Boss Jiang! Quick, quick, tell me, what's going on with this buff of +12 to all attributes on me?!"
