Chapter 1660 Finding Quicksand Orientation

The road was very difficult, and the female cultivator of Luoshuang Pavilion at the front held a long wooden stick in her hand, and kept stabbing at the ground.

By doing this, you can find out the difference between the softness and firmness of the ground, and find out the route that people can walk on.

The Great Wilderness is covered by wind and sand all the year round, and it can be regarded as a vast desert with no end in sight.

But there is still a difference between the great wilderness and the real desert.

Like other places in Yunxiu Continent, there are many peaks in Dahuang, but they are just bare barren mountains.

Practitioners who were originally in the wilderness would choose to follow the route close to the foot of the mountain if they traveled.

The sand accumulation in these places is relatively shallow, and there are hard mountain rocks under the sand, which are completely suitable for carriages.

However, after the meteorite rain came, the peaks of the Great Wilderness were all flattened.

Mountain rocky areas, quicksand accumulation areas, mines and ruins excavation areas, and oasis areas where adventure teams camp.

All areas become the same and indistinguishable.

The meteorite hit the ground, and the huge shock wave was almost like the entire barren sand, all of which rose into the sky.

Including the dust clouds after those mountain peaks were broken, they were also lifted into the sky.

The sand, dust and smoke fell from the sky like a blizzard in the following dozens of days.

They became the best filler, filling up the canyons and craters on the earth, and piled up thickly to form an endless plain.

Although you can still feel the undulations of the ground during the journey, the undulations are not obvious, and you can only roughly judge the terrain trend under the sand.

Tuk tuk, tuk tuk, the wooden stick pierced the sand, making dull clunking noises.

The sound proves that there is a solid ground under the sand, which can be used by people to walk on.

If the stick cannot poke to the bottom, it means that the sand here is too thick, and the foot is likely to sink into it.

In fact, for practitioners, it is not a big problem if the sand is thicker, and they can walk lightly with a little exercise.

However, ninety-nine percent of the kung fu in Yunxiu Continent adopts traditional cultivation methods, and a little exercise will give off energy and light.

In this dark environment full of wind and sand, a little light is like a bright moon in a dark night, extremely eye-catching.

They knew that the risk of this trip was huge. In this barren land, there were not only human cultivators, but also a flame monster called Blazing Soul.

Before departure, Supreme warned each team.

The Blazing Soul Fire Monster is extremely powerful in combat,

If you encounter Wanbu recklessly in the middle, find a way to escape and get rid of the chasing and killing of the blazing soul fire monster.

Their team has been walking for two and a half days, and up to now, they have not encountered Blazing Soul head-on.

It was only half a day ago that I saw a group of flames moving thousands of feet away.

Although they didn't take a close look, the eight members of the team all agreed that the glow of that group of activities was the blazing soul.

At that time, they were terrified, thinking that Chihun would rush over and kill them immediately after they had discovered them.

They quickly dug up the sand on the ground, buried themselves in one by one, and used weapons to dig far away under the sand.

After digging like this for half an hour, they didn't know how much distance they moved before they climbed out cautiously and continued walking.

That is, this time they dug a hole to avoid it, so that they completely lost their direction, not knowing whether the forward route was still facing the Great Desolation and Lonely City.

With a rustle, the stick hit the ground again, but this time there was no muffled sound of hitting something hard.

The female cultivator of Luoshuang Pavilion held the stick tightly, shook it vigorously a few times, and found that the sand below was very soft.

She pulled out the stick, took out an iron ball, and placed it on the sand smoothly and gently.

Seeing this, the other seven people came up to watch, but she stopped her with her hand.

"Wait a minute, don't come close, I'll try with a sand-exploring bead."

Hearing the words Tanshazhu, the seven immediately understood what the woman was thinking, and immediately stopped and stood behind.

After the iron ball was placed on the sand, it stayed for a while, and then slowly sank like it was placed on the mud of a swamp.

During the sinking process, the iron ball popped out a thin thread, one end of the thread stayed outside the sand, and the other end connected to the iron ball continued to sink.

The woman immediately pinched the thread to prevent the thread from being buried in the sand.

After waiting for nearly two incense sticks, she reckoned that the sand beads had sunk to the bottom, so she pulled the silk thread upwards.

One inch, two inches, one foot, two feet, one foot, two feet.

The silk thread pulled out became longer and longer, and finally a total length of seven feet was pulled out before the iron ball emerged from the sand.

The woman glanced at Tiezhu thoughtfully, then suddenly accelerated her movements, took out the map and checked it carefully.

A male cultivator behind him waited for a while, and couldn't help asking.

"What's the result of exploring the sand beads? Is it a quicksand?"

The female cultivator of Luoshuang Pavilion explained while consulting the map.

"That's right, it's Quicksand!

Now the depth detected by the sand-exploring bead is seven feet, but I suspect that it has not reached the end, and the quicksand here should actually be deeper. "

Hearing this, the seven people looked at each other, and some of them couldn't help but took half a step back.

"So the front is a large quicksand area, there is no way!

I just said that we have lost our way, and there will be no results if we continue to move forward, so we should find a way to return to the shelter..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted sharply by the female cultivator of Luoshuang Pavilion: "Shut up, what do you know, this kind of terrain is the best reference.

As long as we find the corresponding point on the map, we can relocate and find the route out of the deserted and lonely city. "

The man's words were blocked back, and he hummed twice as if he was dissatisfied.

At this time, a thin man in the team spoke, his voice sounded very young.

"Miss Ying is right, this terrain is indeed a good reference.

Under normal circumstances, there will be a transitional area between the quicksand land and the ordinary ground, which is similar to the gentle slope of the river bank entering the water.

Now here is a rocky foundation, and there is bottomless quicksand. In terms of terrain, the stone foundation here is similar to a cliff by the water, without any transition in between.

This kind of sudden terrain change must be marked on the map of the Lisha team. "

This cultivator with a young voice is the guard of Lingcui Mountain and the highest level person in the team.

The ten teams that set off from the refuge this time each had a Lingcui Mountain guard.

And every Lingcui Mountain guard is a strong man above the False God Realm, with outstanding strength.

They are the last guarantee for the ten teams to find the Great Desolate City. As long as they don't encounter a lot of blazing souls, the False God Realm will be able to escape in other cases.

The guards of Lingcui Mountain expressed their opinions, and the others lost their opinion in an instant. They stood obediently and waited for Miss Ying from Luoshuang Pavilion to check the map.

The map in Miss Ying's hand is not a map in the true sense, but a map marked by the treasure hunting team.

The Great Wilderness has a special terrain and climate, and is shrouded in wind and sand all year round. There are extremely similar barren mountains and yellow sand everywhere.

For hundreds of years, in order to hide the specific location of the city, the Great Desolate City has prohibited any cultivator from surveying the terrain and drawing maps.

Even Qian Yunzong, who built the post station, has never drawn the terrain of the Great Wilderness, let alone a detailed map.

But the lord of the Great Desolation City is dead, but people are alive. There are a group of practitioners who are not prohibited from exploring the terrain.
