Chapter 1027 Survival in the Wilderness
Chapter 1027: Wilderness Survival. Xiao Han didn't try to take the lead, but waited for these big shots who had voluntarily fallen into hardship to make a decision.
Although these people either come from families of cultivators or entered sects at a young age, even those who are independent cultivators have long forgotten their mortal lives from when they were a few years old.
But they were all important figures who had cultivated for many years and experienced various crises, so they quickly forced themselves to adapt to the mortal body.
However, there is some disagreement about which direction to take now.
While they were arguing, Xiao Han instructed Ba Dou to randomly choose a direction and fly dozens of miles to check. Regardless of whether he saw any plants or water, he was to return.
Although the croton was also compressed into an ordinary bird, it could still fly faster than a person.
Ling Xiao had not yet fully realized what suffering he would endure in the desert after becoming a mortal, and was still watching the spectacle with great interest.
Xiao Han looked at the sky; it should still be early morning, just before sunrise.
The monks from the south and north of the town eventually decided to split into two teams.
However, among the cultivators who came from the south, Ling Xiao and the two beautiful female cultivators chose to follow Xin's group.
The remaining cultivators from the south, led by Old Man Zhou who was at odds with Fatty Wang, numbered only seven.
Xin Nuxiu's team now has fifteen people.
Anyway, we shouldn't die from training in this space; it's just a bit of torture. It doesn't matter if we go our separate ways and explore on our own.
On Xin Nu Xiu's side, there was the team leader, Xin Nu Xiu, also known as Xin Zi Qi, followed by Wang Pang Zi, Qian Bai Wan, the formation master Yu Lao Tou, Liu Po Zi, Xiao Han, Ling Xiao, two newly arrived beautiful female cultivators, and six cultivators whose faces Xiao Han only recognized but whose names she did not know.
Judging from the direction of the rising sun, Xin Ziqi chose the south, while Ba Dou flew in the east, so it doesn't matter much.
Even if Croton discovers a water source in the east, it can change course at any time.
Ba Dou hasn't returned yet, but Xiao Han isn't too worried.
These people can walk for miles on their own, and even from high above, Ba Dou can see them at a glance.
More than twenty well-dressed high-ranking monks began their long march on foot.
At this time, everyone had just suffered misfortune, and their bodies and minds were at their peak, so they still had the leisure to chat as they walked.
Ling Xiao walked beside Xiao Han, making small talk with her along the way.
Xiao Han felt it was important to conserve her energy, so she only occasionally chimed in with a few words.
After walking only four or five miles, Ba Dou returned.
Xiao Han hurriedly asked, "Did you see any plants or water sources over there?"
Ba Dou shook his head, "Woo, woo."
That is no.
Xin Ziqi had seen Croton, so he said to Xiao Han, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, send the bird to the front to take a look."
By this time, the sun had begun to blaze up, the temperature was rising, and everyone was already feeling uncomfortably hot.
Xiao Han looked at Ba Dou and asked, "Ba Dou, do you still have the strength to fly? If you can, fly ahead and take a look."
With a squeaking sound, Ba Dou spread its wings and flew into the sky again.
Of the two young and beautiful female cultivators who had recently arrived and previously lived in the south of the town, the almond-eyed one looked up at the departing figure of the croton and murmured, "I'm starting to envy a bird now."
The female cultivator with phoenix eyes beside her smiled and said, "Back when I hadn't learned to fly on a sword, I envied everyone and everything that could fly. When I first flew in the sky myself, I was really happy."
Those around him couldn't help but laugh, and at the same time, they were quite moved.
Back then, although I was weak, the joy and satisfaction I felt after achieving something is something I can hardly understand now.
After walking more than ten miles, many cultivators were already panting heavily.
Qian Baiwan wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered, "This space is really amazing. I haven't felt sweaty in years."
Fatty Wang, panting heavily, said, "Our bodies have been tempered and refined through countless trials, yet now they're as fragile as ordinary people. This space is too powerful."
Ling Xiao laughed and said, "If we don't do it this way, what's the point of training? It'll just be the same as before."
The others agreed wholeheartedly. Therefore, even though everyone felt tired, no one felt they shouldn't have come in.
However, as they walked further on, they talked much less.
After all, traveling through the desert without water, their mouths quickly became parched.
Xiao Han found a small stone, about the size of a fist, with a slightly sharp edge in the sand and immediately picked it up and took it with her.
Ling Xiao, puzzled, asked, "What do you need it for? It's just an ordinary stone!"
Xiao Han sighed, "We're unarmed, and we'll need this later."
They really miscalculated. If they had known they would fall into the desert after entering, they should have at least grabbed a knife or axe beforehand.
This is now a hellish level of wilderness survival.
At this moment, Croton flew back, bringing news once again that there was no water source or oasis.
Even though these big shots have been high and mighty for a long time, they are not fools. Of course they know what it's like to be a mortal without water.
Everyone turned their attention to Xin Ziqi.
Xin Nuxiu thought for a moment and said, "The sun is getting stronger and stronger. There is a rocky mountain ahead. Let's go there and find a shady place to rest and escape the midday heat. After the sun is not so strong, let's change direction."
About ten miles ahead, there is a stone mountain about a hundred meters high.
No one had any good ideas, so they could only keep moving forward.
At this moment, Xiao Han had already taken off her outer robe and placed it on her head. She was wearing a long-sleeved inner garment underneath, which was rather unseemly, but she didn't care about that anymore.
Ba Dou had flown back and forth for over a hundred miles and was exhausted.
Xiao Han let it rest on her shoulder. With her clothes covering it, although it was stuffy and hot, she didn't have to face the sun directly.
The others kept their heads down as they hurried along, but the backs of their necks were burning from the sun.
Seeing Xiao Han cover her head with her clothes, they immediately followed suit, taking off their outer garments and putting them on their heads.
Xiao Han thought that these people were all high-ranking cultivators in the God Realm, and now they were dressed in disheveled clothes. She couldn't help but laugh to herself.
Ling Xiao, who was standing to the side, was puzzled and asked, "You're all in such a sorry state, what are you laughing at?"
Xiao Han couldn't very well say, "I'm just laughing at how pathetic you all look."
He made up a random excuse, saying, "I'm just laughing at everyone for asking for trouble and coming here to suffer."
Fatty Wang rolled his eyes. "Wasn't this your idea?"
Granny Liu sarcastically remarked, "We have no choice but to suffer, but you don't have to do this task, yet you still come along to invite trouble."
Xiao Han could only force a laugh and say, "I didn't expect it to be this tough. It's like we're surviving in the wilderness."
At that moment, she suddenly noticed several clumps of cacti not far to her right.
Xiao Han's eyes lit up immediately. "Look, there's a cactus over there!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone's reaction, he hurriedly ran over.
They were only two or three miles away from the stone mountain. The people didn't understand why she was interested in cacti, and they were all focused on getting to the stone mountain to rest.
Ling Xiao glanced at the others who continued on their way with their heads down, then at the direction Xiao Han had run off to, and finally followed behind Xiao Han.
When he got there, he saw Xiao Han holding the small stones she had picked up earlier, circling around a cactus.
"Xiao Han, why aren't you going to find a place to rest? What are you doing messing around with this stuff?"
Xiao Han looked at the boundless desert and sighed, "This might be our food and water source in the future."
