Chapter 1087 Desperate Desert

At night, the temperature in the desert begins to drop rapidly.

From the original unbearable heat, it gradually turned into freezing cold.

Even the sand wall built by Tang Lan made crackling sounds at night, forcing Tang Lan to reinforce the sand wall every few hours.

Although in the sand house, Tang Lan could still vaguely hear the rustling sound coming from outside, which later became more and more frequent.

He slowly stood up and saw Tang Lan wave his hand and lightly scratch, and a small hole suddenly appeared on the sand wall in front of him.

Tang Lan quickly saw the scene outside through the small hole.

As far as the eye can see, the entire sand dune is covered with black shadows the size of calves.

They moved quickly on the sand dunes, and finally gathered in the direction where the sand house was where Tang Lan was.

"Did you discover me?"

"But these little creatures don't seem to be very aggressive and should not be able to break through this infinitely compressed sand wall."

When Tang Lan saw clearly that these were red flame scorpions in the desert, he felt relieved.

The Red Flame Scorpion is the most common soul beast in the desert. They bury themselves in the yellow sand during the day and only come out to look for food at night.

It was obvious that they felt the soul power of Tang Lan.

But Tang Lan was not too worried. Instead, he returned to the sofa bed in the house, sat cross-legged on it and started meditating.

Nothing happened that night. When the sun rose the next day, the bone-chilled cold on the earth began to gradually warm up.

The temperature is most suitable only during the two hours when night and day alternate.

If you count carefully, there are at least four hours a day when the temperature is normal. Otherwise, it is either unbearably hot or freezing cold.

Tang Lan slowly pushed open the door of the sand house, but found that the view in front of him was covered by yellow sand.

Not only that, the yellow sand even flowed back into the sand house.

Seeing this, Tang Lan frowned slightly, then struck out with a palm.

The powerful soul power turned into a hurricane that blew away the surrounding sand, revealing the scene outside.

There was still a vast expanse of yellow sand outside, but it was obviously much taller and larger than what I had seen before, and the sand dunes I had seen before were gone.

Instead, there were higher sand dunes, and the dune where Tang Lan was sitting had been merged into a larger dune.

Fortunately, the sand covering the area was not thick that night, otherwise I would have been buried alive here.

With the sun in the east and the Flaming Mountain in the distance as references, Tang Lan would not lose his way.

But what Tang Lan saw next was a dream in which he was asked to marry into the family.

At first, Tang Lan just saw a lake oasis in the distance, but Tang Lan soon rejected it himself.

There couldn't be an oasis in a place like this, at least not one so close to me.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, it is a mirage, an illusion in the desert.

Despite this, Tang Lan just wanted to go and check it out as a last resort.

The result was naturally the same as Tang Lan had guessed. There was nothing there except yellow sand.

"Tang Lan, look, what's that over there!"

At this moment, Ning Xian's voice suddenly came from the black knife, and at the same time drew Tang Lan's attention to the distance.

"That's... a human team!!"

Tang Lan widened his eyes, trying to see clearly the scene on the sand dunes in the distance.

After a long while, Tang Lan spoke uncertainly.

This made him subconsciously feel that these human teams did not really exist.

"Although we know that the hope is slim, in order to be able to pass the fourth level, we should still go and take a look."

He Xi also said in agreement.

With two people helping him with ideas, Tang Lan moved quickly towards the direction where there were human traces.

Although the sand dunes were too soft and it was difficult to exert force, Tang Lan's Divine Shadow was as light as a swallow, and he could appear several feet away every time he stepped on the ground.

Half an hour later, Tang Lan appeared at the place where he had been seen before.

But he was horrified to find that although the surrounding yellow sand had cleared most of the traces on the ground, there were still some footprints of humans and camels.

"What's going on? Is there really someone here?"

Tang Lan's face showed shock and disbelief.

This result disrupted many of his previous guesses. If there really were people living here, then this space of the Death Trial would be normal.

As to whether it is the original world, I am afraid the only way to get the answer is to continue exploring.

"Looking at the thickness of the sand above these footprints, the human team is very close to us."

"Tang Lan, continue in the previous direction."

"If we can really find the indigenous people here, it will be much better than us flying around like headless flies."

Ning Xian spoke up to remind him.

Tang Lan nodded, then continued to speed up, trying to catch up with the group of people before the sun sets.

The day and night time in this desert are not equal. Based on Tang Lan's observations, it can be preliminarily determined that the night time is much longer than the day time.

Many times, the sun gradually rises until almost noon.

This also means that Tang Lan doesn't have much time left. If he fails to find the other party before the sun sets, he will have to find a place to make temporary plans at night.

Tang Lan already had a preliminary idea of ​​how terrifying the desert was at night.

It wasn't just the Red Flame Scorpions that appeared around the desert last night, there were also many monsters living at the bottom of the desert.

Among them, the most ferocious is a type of desert insect that ranges in size from three to ten meters.

The guy crawled out from the ground, opened his mouth wide and swallowed those red flame scorpions along with a large amount of yellow sand into his stomach, then crawled into the yellow sand under his feet and disappeared.

Tang Lan had heard of this kind of soul beast before, which was praised by soul masters from the outside world as the Desert Death God.

It is one of the most terrifying soul beasts in the desert. It has a huge body and amazing defense. With the sand protecting its body, it is almost difficult to kill these terrifying monster insects.

It is worth mentioning that this monster has no eyes and only a huge mouth full of fangs on its head.

The roar makes people's scalp tingle and can even cause short-term dizziness.

This is also the reason why they are feared by human spirit masters.

It took an hour since they walked together. Tang Lan followed the increasingly clear footprints and did not dare to stop for even a moment.

But until dark, they still hadn't caught up with the group.

"It looks like we have to give up. The desert at night is full of dangers. It's better not to move around."

Tang Lan decided to give up chasing those footprints.

In such a dangerous environment, if he releases powerful soul skills, it will attract more soul beasts from the surrounding desert.

If you do this, this desert will most likely become your own grave.

Tang Lan chose a higher sand dune and used the power of his soul bone to compress the yellow sand into a sturdy but slightly simple house.
