With Qin Nan, who is familiar with the desert, as a guide, the days in the desert finally became interesting. The seemingly ordinary desert was full of mystery in Qin Nan's words.
Li Ziyu didn't know how Qin Nan could tell the direction in the desert. This seemed to be a unique ability of people who traveled through desert areas. They could easily find water sources, oases, and cities. They could also distinguish between quicksand and sandstorms, and issue warnings before danger came.
That's amazing.
The quicksand in the desert is more dangerous than a sandstorm. A sandstorm can hit the castle with tons of sand. When the sandstorm passes, the castle will be buried, but that's all. The castle will not stop because of the sand. As long as it is given some power, it will break out of the sand sooner or later.
But quicksand is different. The quicksand in the desert area is like a swamp. Once you fall into it, you cannot get out. Even with the power of the castle, it is difficult to get out of the quicksand. You may be buried in the sand forever.
When Li Ziyu first heard that quicksand was so powerful, he didn't believe it. He knew about desert quicksand, but it was too exaggerated to think that it could sink such a big city underground.
It was not until Lin Youyou confirmed to him that what Qin Nan said was true. The quicksand traps in the desert area were as famous as the natural sandstorms. They could really bury the mobile cities of the traversers, especially the damage to fortresses and fortresses was terrifying.
More importantly, these outsiders who traveled here could not see the quicksand area at all. In their eyes, the yellow sand everywhere was the same. If they accidentally entered it, it would be too late to get out by the time they discovered it.
"Is it true? Is it as scary as you say?" Li Ziyu looked at the serious expressions of the two people and couldn't help showing curiosity in his eyes.
In his previous life, he lived in the city. Deserts, Gobi Deserts, and rainforests were too far away from his life. He had never been there. The knowledge he knew was all obtained from the Internet and videos.
"Boss Li, quicksand can not only swallow up mobile cities, but also hide monsters and behemoths in it. They hunt in the quicksand, and all creatures in the desert are their targets." Qin Nan explained loudly.
If you don’t live in the desert all year round, you won’t know these things. Only those who live in the desert all year round know the real dangers of the desert.
The desert is not as peaceful as it appears. There are many dangers hidden here. It is completely different from the desert in the previous life.
For example, there would be no "sun fire" in the desert of the previous life. The so-called sun fire is that a piece of desert would be ignited with flames under the shining sun. From a distance, you could only feel the extremely high temperature. The sunlight obscured the flames and you could not see them. Only when you were in the middle of it could you see the golden flames burning everywhere.
There are also huge sandstorms, quicksand, etc., which are different from the natural phenomena in the previous life. They are many times more powerful. Even with the protection of a mobile city, there is still great danger and you will die if you are not careful.
The dangers in the desert are hidden beneath the calm.
As far as Qin Nan knew, many travelers who had just traveled through time, out of curiosity about the other world, relied on their mobile cities to wander around, and as a result, many of them died inexplicably.
The degree of danger is completely different between having a guide who has been wandering in the desert for a long time and moving around in the desert without anyone.
"Eh? Boss Li, there's a quicksand over there!" Qin Nan turned his head and looked at the desert not far away for a while, then suddenly pointed there and said.
"Where, where? Let me see." Li Ziyu moved closer to Qin Nan and looked in the direction of his finger. After looking for a long time, he didn't find anything unusual. It looked exactly the same as other places. He turned his head to look at Qin Nan and said, "Where is it? Why can't I see it?"
"Boss Li, stop and wait. I'll go over and give you an experiment and you'll know." Qin Nan said as he left the roof and ran outside in a hurry.
Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Li Ziyu didn't know what to say. He stopped his Undead Castle and went to the parapet with Lin Youyou, looking down from above.
Qin Nan rushed out of the main building of the castle and quickly returned to his beetle fortress. He activated the separation between the fortress and the undead castle, and the beetle fortress quickly moved towards the place suspected to be quicksand.
The beetle fortress stopped not long after it ran out. Its two front legs kept rubbing on the ground, and it actually gathered the sand on the ground and glued it together using some unknown means to form a round sand ball.
Qin Nan sent a message to Li Ziyu, "Boss Li, watch out, I'm about to throw it away!"
Beetle Fortress lifted the round sand ball and threw it out with force.
The round sand ball, which looked as big as a human head from a high vantage point, flew far away and landed in the distant desert. Instead of rolling on the ground as expected, it seemed to have hit the soft mud and water. The sand ball gradually sank and soon disappeared in front of Li Ziyu and the others without a trace.
"Boss Li, did you see that? This piece of sand is all quicksand. Don't go near it. Once you get stuck in it, you can't get out." Qin Nan sent a message to Li Ziyu while turning the Beetle Fortress back to the Undead Castle.
Qin Nan, who turned the fort around, did not notice that where he threw the round sand ball, a ripple seemed to spread out on the water surface, sweeping across the desert area and causing the sand to surge slightly.
Li Ziyu and Lin Youyou could see it clearly from a high place, and both of them looked stern at the same time.
Something is wrong, this is not an ordinary quicksand area, there is something else here!
Li Ziyu remembered what Qin Nan had said before, that the horror of the quicksand zone is not only the quicksand itself, but also that there may be monsters, behemoths and other things hidden in it. The quicksand in front of him might be hiding something.
