Chapter 3 3. Interesting places

   "I said I had to get rid of this waste to be free, why would I have to wait until now?"

  In the desert, Jiang Xia, who had just finished rebirth, had a blood-stained face, sketched a weird smile, stretched out his hand to touch the beating weak heart, and picked up the water bottle next to him, and took a gulp.

After wiping the water stain on the corner of his mouth, he whispered:

   "Oh, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have reminded him of avoiding so many dangers before, Lao Jiang, I am still too kind."

  "Boom"

   A loud noise interrupted Jiang Xia’s thinking about life. He stood up from the hot sand dune, clutched his aching, **** arm, and turned his head to look behind him.

  In the distance, at the end of the line of sight, on the edge of the vast yellow sand, there is a group of black and yellow, like a tornado-like horrible thing, which is blowing thousands of sands, just like an evil dragon awakening, and disaster is brewing.

  The changing natural phenomenon of the day and the earth, Jiang Xia's scalp is numb.

  As a clerk in a special industry who used to travel north and south, he has seen the same and similar things in the deserts of the Middle East.

  Sandstorm.

  In his current state, he fell into it, ten dead and no life.

  He moved quickly to pick up the short-cut dagger that fell aside, and twisted the broken water bottle apart, put his saliva in his mouth, and did not swallow it, put the water bottle next to his body, and tore off the worn gown on his body.

   made a turban for herself, sealed her nose and mouth tightly, and then ran all the way under the sand dunes.

  While running, the brain is running fast.

  "The treasurer said, this is an unknown secret realm, which can only be reached through the star array. This should be another world, but listening to his meaning, it seems that he can go back.

  But what's going on in their world?

  It is a group of people who cultivate immortality, how can such a mode of world exploration come up in the ancient world?

  Even mortals can participate in it, which is really interesting. "

  It is difficult to tell the direction in the unfamiliar desert. Once you go wrong, you will end up dead, but fortunately, Jiang Xia knows where to go.

  That light.

  The light that flashed in my memory just a kilometer or two away.

  Although I still don’t quite understand, what the "Star Array" that Bao Ye said is.

   But judging from the passing of being thrown into this desert just now, there is no doubt that as long as you find another star formation, you can take him out of this hopeless danger.

  In the scorching desert, Jiang Xia, with her head covered, ran with one foot deep and the other shallow.

  The goal is clear, and the rest is just implementation.

  But when he ran, he stopped suddenly.

"what?"

  Jiang Xia closed his eyes and looked through his consciousness. The tree that was trapped in Jiang Shusheng’s consciousness with him would have undergone some changes just like his experience.

  The tree was still as it was. It was tall, bare, without leaves and flowers. It had seven branches, but on the edge of the bottom branch, there was a bunch of small flowers.

  Pale white, exuding a mysterious light, only the size of a little finger.

   Just like the bud that just grew out.

"Flowering?"

  Jiang Xia looked back at where he was when he came, he was a little unsure. The blossoming of the treasure tree was because he got rid of the imprisonment and stimulated it.

   still went through the star array to the new world, causing it to change.

  Oh, it’s really good luck today. Not only did I complete my rebirth, my cheat finger, which has never responded, seems to have been activated.

  This is a win-win situation.

  I won twice.

  A big profit!

   Jiang Xia's face was full of smiles, and the footsteps down the sand dunes became more relaxed.

  But he is not at all grateful for the **** who threw him into this desert, Baoye, Huang Guanshi, and the guys who drew him with sticks and tortured him with ropes

  Uh, they tortured Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia seems to have nothing to do with him.

  But there is no way, Jiang Xia is a person who bears grudges. Since this body belongs to him, the grievances caused by the torture of the body naturally belong to him.

  Since I can come.

   will definitely be able to go back, right?

   Put it aside first, and after you go back, talk to them.

  After almost half an hour, panting, Jiang Xia, who was haunting her head like an Arab, finally reached her destination.

  The sandstorm will come, which will make the desert cool and prevent him from heatstroke.

   "It's too quiet."

  He continued to walk towards the building half-buried in the sand dunes in front of him, looking around under his feet. He just found out that the desert was a little too quiet.

   certainly does not refer to sound.

   "There is no scorpion in the shade, and there is no vegetation where it enters the eyes. There is still this smell."

   Jiang Xia grabbed a handful of sand and put it under her nose and sniffed it gently.

  Human smell is not as good as dogs, but it can also distinguish many details. The sand deep in the quicksand layer has a smell of rust.

   Jiang Xia was even more puzzled.

  He thought of a possibility, and suddenly his back felt a little cold.

  In front of us, half-buried and half-buried at the bottom of the sand dunes, it is a small-scale, unusual building whose exterior walls have been corroded by weathering.

   is a bit like a temple, but it also resembles a weathered fortress. It's hard to tell its original appearance.

  However, the main body of the building is still intact. There are huge cracks in the dome, and sand and soil are constantly falling. As you walk into it, a refreshing cool immediately comes oncoming.

  This is a place that can shelter from wind and rain, and it is also the place that Laojiang needs most now.

  He walked into the dilapidated building. Without delay, he took out the broken water bottle around his waist and contained a mouthful of precious water. He used up a quarter distressedly to clean the dusty wound.

  Cut off the close-fitting clothing and use it as a bandage.

  While doing this, I am still observing the surroundings. The place is not big, most of it is buried by sand, and the movable area is only a dozen meters.

  Sweep it, basically you can see clearly.

  In the corner of the sand, piled up some ruined wooden boxes, as if they had been looted, a mess.

  At the corner of the wall, there were some ashes left after burning, and there were similar ashes on the ground. When he saw those ashes, Jiang Xia's heart suddenly loosened.

  This is a trace of a fire.

   means that there must be other people in this desert, and the possibility of being rescued by oneself is greatly improved.

  After bandaging the wound, he stood up again and wandered around the building looking for it.

  This time, it is a lot more detailed, and it also has a purpose.

   Soon, he discovered something.

  In front of the building hall, there is a continuous fall of sand from the top of the dome, where more than half of the ground is buried, but the sand pile shows signs of being impacted.

   Jiang Xia squatted there, pushed aside the messy sand with his hands, exposed the ground on that side, and then saw a familiar thing.

  A stone slab embedded in the ground.

  Pentagon.

  There is a square groove in the center, which is covered with various complicated patterns and lines. Among them, two circular rings are connected to each other. Those patterns are some kind of characters or symbols that he does not recognize.

  Although it has experienced wind and frost, the surrounding stone slabs have been eroded by wind, but this stone slab is still intact.

  This thing, in the memory of Jiang Xia, in that world, the slate that Bao Ye started with a strange stone, there are some differences in details, but they are basically the same specifications.

  If that thing is called a star array, then this thing must also be.

   "Cheating!"

  A few minutes later, Jiang Xia cursed in a low voice.

  This thing needs energy to start.

  And that arrogant and arrogant Bao Ye didn’t prepare energy for him at all.

   is the kind of stone that will shine.

  This shows that Baoye either didn't expect Jiang Xia to come back, or he knew nothing about Star Formation.

in other words.

  That guy is very likely to be on a whim. Try it. It is not a fully prepared action at all. The tragic death of Jiang Shusheng, or he, is regarded as a guinea pig.

  But it's useless to get angry.

  He sat cross-legged next to the five-sided star array slab, propped his head, listening to the intensifying wind and sand blowing outside, falling into thinking, he urgently needs to stroke his thoughts.

  There are two biggest problems now.

  One, since there is a star formation slab in this world, there must be a way to activate it, and I have to find it myself.

  Second, in this search process, how should he survive in this desert?

  Re-examine the things he currently has. The broken kettle that the old fourth stuffed him has half of the water in it. It saves a bit and can take about a day or two.

  The thing for body protection is a rough dagger.

  Nothing to eat at all.

  I've seen it on the way just now. Apart from the strange smell, the desert is very clean. There are no scorpion vipers at all, and I can't learn it if I want to learn Beiye.

  The most troublesome thing is that I don’t have a map or anything in my hands, and I don’t know anything about this desert.

  Desperate.

  Jiang Xia frowned, he still had even more terrifying thoughts in his heart, what if, there is no world outside the desert at all?

  What if, this world is a desert?

  Can't think anymore!

  He got up abruptly, letting himself not think about the desperate situation.

  In the past, uh, the experience of doing business in dangerous areas in the previous life told him that human thinking is a very strange thing, even if you tell yourself over and over again to persist.

  But once the desolate mind arises, it is difficult to destroy.

  Those decadent thoughts will breed little by little, like a poisonous snake winding around the neck, and finally crushing the person.

  "After the wind and sand stops, I will go out and look again, look for places with humans, and rest now."

  Thinking about this, Jiang Xia dragged the rotten wooden box over, covered it on the stone slab, held the dagger in his hand, leaned her head on the box, and took a nap.

  "Boom"

  I don’t know how long it took, a loud noise, as the ground vibrated, Jiang Xia suddenly opened his eyes.

   Following instinct, Lao Jiang leaped forward quickly, then leaned on the wall, poking out his head cautiously, and looking at the sand dunes outside the temple.

  As a result, I immediately saw an incredible scene.

  Yellow sand is rolling, the sandstorm has come, and the visibility is extremely low, like a thick fog rising, but noisy sounds are coming out of it.

  That is the cry of human beings.

Although    is a language that Jiang Xia can't understand, it also makes him excited.

   But then, he saw that seven or eight people were riding out of the smoke and dust on weird motorcycles.

  They are wearing leather coats, wearing goggles, they wrap their mouths, noses and cheeks with turbans, their skin is not exposed, and each body has weapons.

  And those motorcycles are also strange. Instead of wheels, they use front and rear tracks. This is understandable. In places like the desert, the wheels are not as good as the tracks.

  But these obviously high-tech cars are dressed up in bells and whistles.

  There is a front part of the front of the car, and it is decorated like a skeleton shell.

  Something is chasing them!

  The vibration on the ground is a bit abnormal, it is not the movement that these seven or eight motorcycles can make. It seems that a heavy giant is rushing over from the wind and sand.

  Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes and saw the group rushing towards him, he leaned down again, and the dagger in his hand also turned around with the fingers, and was tightly held back.

  In the next instant, the flames rose.

   More than a dozen rockets were piercing, making Jiang Xia feel familiar sounds, flying out of the smoke and dust, and each tracing in the air, just like locked, blasting around the convoy in the manner of a barrage.

  The violent explosion made the ground shake again. Before the explosion, Jiang Xia curled up with her head.

  A few seconds later, I heard a wailing from outside.

  He poked his head out again and saw a four-legged crawler robot that was more than three meters high and did not exist in Jiang Xia's cognition, wrapped in wind and sand, emerging from the smoke and dust with extremely low visibility.

   Smoke billowed, and the survivors in the convoy immediately used the collapsed pillar outside the temple as a cover and began to counterattack.

  They carried energy packs, armed with gun-shaped weapons, various beams like rays, blue plasma flying grenades, and the four-legged robots behind the four rocket nests constantly shooting missiles.

  The flames from the ground, the shouts of soldiers, the explosion of weapons.

  All of this gave Jiang Xia, who was watching from the sidelines, a strange sense of familiarity.

  The place has changed, the environment has changed, and even the world has changed.

  But the familiar feeling is exactly the same.

  Sure enough, no matter what world they are in, human beings are keen to slaughter and destroy creatures.

  However, carefully examining the attack mode of the four-legged robot, Jiang Xia reached out and rubbed his cheeks. He touched his heart, feeling the frequency of his heart beating.

   "Well, it seems that I have come to an incredible place."

  Speaking like this, Jiang Xia's cheek also showed eagerness to try.

  What he fears most is that there is only one living person in this world.

  Other than that, he has nothing to fear. As he said, he is already a person who has died once, or in Jiang Shusheng's words, he is already a "ghost".

  There is hope in front of me, there is nothing to be afraid of.

  Holding the broken kettle in his hand, he drank most of the reluctant water in one sip, just like the most beautiful enjoyment before the war, and then took a deep breath, holding the dagger instead.

   Taking advantage of the smoke cover, rushed out of the temple.

  Of course, not rushing to the robot to die.
