Chapter 795

Whether you are getting water or eating, you must prepare it for yourself separately and check it several times before putting it in your mouth.

Logically speaking, there should be fewer of these people working alone and more in groups.

But now, I don't know if it is to avoid being exposed, or because I am suspicious of my companions.

As long as there is a slight disturbance, everyone's nerves will be tense.

It can be described as a cup with a bow and a snake shadow, and all the grass and trees are soldiers.

There is nothing we can do, now three people in the entire team are dead.

One was the family guard who followed Harrison, the other was a mercenary who was suspected of being silenced by his accomplices, and the third was the guy who tried to take Harrison away.

There is no connection between these three people, and because of this, all of them could be killed.

How could this not make them nervous?

Don't find the Sacred Heart Grass, it's gone.

Harrison was suffering from a new injury plus an old one. He was still very sick after recovering for several days.

Not only that, he has become much more taciturn. He will only talk to Gwen and his personal guards when something happens, and he no longer has the high-spirited and arrogant look before.

The dangers of these days have indeed made me mature a little.

However, he now seems to be retreating.

Thanks to Gwen's persuasion, I managed to regain my confidence.

At this time, Gwen was still sitting next to him, and the two of them were holding a piece of soft bread, dipping it in mayonnaise and eating small sausages.

Although there is a slight shortage of supplies, they still have to live their lives, and their food is not bad.

When I first went out, I was not used to living without fine clothes and fine food, but now I am used to simple meals.

Gwen tore off a small piece of bread and ate it bit by bit until the bread was half eaten before she spoke.

"Harrison, otherwise... we'd better invite Xiao Qi and Rin to join us. With them in the team, we don't have to worry."

Harrison hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and refused: "No, this has been agreed before. I don't want to beg them in a lowly manner."

Gwen looked worried; "That's better than being precarious now."

"Why is the situation so precarious? It hasn't reached that point yet. Besides, even if you beg them, that guy named Rin won't come over."

"Why, didn't he save you?"

Harrison's face turned dark when he mentioned this.

"Who wants to be saved by that little pretty-faced devil? I don't need it at all, okay? Don't always say it's a life-saving thing. I don't want to be kidnapped by some kind of life-saving grace."

Besides, it's terrifying to think of Lin cutting the bodyguard into pieces and turning him into bloody foam without changing his expression.

It's almost more like a demon than a demon.

The kind that would give him nightmares during the day.

Even if you beat him to death, don't stay with that devil who has a handsome face but is actually a pervert.

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about."

Harrison's tone was a little tougher, and he looked confident: "Anyway, Xiao Qi will definitely not let anything happen to us. If there is any danger, Xiao Qi will let him come to save us."

"But if you look at the other people in the team, they are also in danger."

"I don't have the time to care about them. You see, all of those mercenaries are probably bad guys. They all want to get the Sacred Heart Grass from me. Whatever they do is their own fault."

Gwen was silent for a long time, and in the end she didn't say anything.

Harrison snorted coldly and finished all the bread in three strokes.

After wiping his hands, he opened a desert map and called Guard A.

"It's strange. It's marked on the map that this place should be a group of ancient buildings. Why didn't we see it? Could it be that we took the wrong route?"

Guard A took out a magic guide similar to a compass.

"We are all moving in one direction, and we encountered sandstorms and monsters in time, and we didn't deviate much from our trajectory. Maybe this map was from a few years ago and has been buried by the sand in the past few years."

Gwen asked: "But if there are no these signs, how can we be sure that our route is correct?"

Chapter 47 Something unexpected happened (2/10)

Guard A pointed to another mark on the map.

"Master, according to the markings, this is a Stonehenge that is suspected of being used for ancient sacrifices. Those dilapidated buildings may be buried, but not here.

I heard those desert travelers say before that these rocks are like mountain peaks, very easy to identify, and you can find them quickly even if they are a little off. "

Harrison nodded hesitantly, still a little worried, and tapped the box-shaped magic device with his hand.

"I read a novel before, and it was mentioned in it that there seemed to be some ores and magical beasts in the desert that disrupted the magnetic field. What if the compass was inaccurate?"

Gwen on the side suddenly rolled her eyes.

"It was in the legendary Desert of Death. There is some kind of magnetic storm area there, which will affect most of the space in the Desert of Death. Many magic devices cannot be used, including this one."

"Of course I know."

Harrison was still stubborn; "I'm just afraid that the compass will be damaged artificially."

Guard A said solemnly: "This is kept by me. If the young master doubts me, he can find someone else's compass and compare it."

"I didn't say I doubted you."

With those malicious mercenaries as comparisons, Harrison's trust in him grew day by day.

Guard B, who was in the corner and had never spoken a word, just munched his food silently and glanced back and forth at them.

When Guard A turned his head in response, he returned to his eating state.

This guard sent by Jasmine has always been like this. Not to mention them, even Guard D, who is also Jasmine's guard, doesn't speak or take the initiative. If he didn't respond during the battle, everyone would think he was dumb.

"Anyway, it's good that there is no problem with the route."

Harrison took back the map, looking a little unhappy.

He originally wanted to find an excuse to prove that they took the wrong road. See if they can go back home.

Now it seems that it's not possible.

He is still wavering, and it's all thanks to Gwen's comfort that he can maintain this state.

"Harrison, take a good rest first, so that you can get better quickly. You still have to continue on the road at night. If you recover earlier, you won't be so tired."

Gwen comforted in a gentle voice.

Harrison suddenly felt warm in his heart and couldn't help but grab Gwen's hand.

"Gwen, I understand more and more that you are the best."

Gwen smiled: "Then you don't like Xiaoqi anymore?"

Harrison's face froze and he sighed.

"I don't know either."

Gwen didn't say anything, but looked outside the tent thoughtfully.

"It seems that the camel beasts have been a little agitated since just now."

Guard A also looked at the dozen camel beasts and frowned slightly.

As Gwen said, those monsters have no intention of eating feed now, but snort from time to time, wag their tails and twist their bodies restlessly.

But the sky in the distance is clear and blue, and it doesn't look like there will be a sandstorm in the short term.

Just when they felt strange, the ground suddenly shook slightly.

Guard A had a bad feeling and immediately shouted:

"Go! There's an earthquake!"

Desert earthquakes are relatively rare, and the magnitude is generally not very high.

But the desert earthquakes here are very dangerous.

No one knows whether there are cavities under the rock layer under the desert. Earthquakes will crack the rock layer, and the unstable foundation will cause the sand to sink, forming a terrible quicksand area.

Usually such an area is not very large, but it is really troublesome to fall into it.

There is an earth magic swordsman and an earth magician in the team, but they may not be able to pull all the people and supplies up.

The mercenaries were also panicked. They stuffed the freshly baked naan bread randomly, some people removed the tent, and some people pulled the camel beast out.

Guard A saw that Harrison still didn't understand, and hurriedly urged.

"Master, Miss Gwen, leave quickly, there will be an earthquake here soon."

As soon as the voice fell, the sand shook again.

This time it was a few points stronger than before.

Everyone was hurriedly packing up and running out.

The earthquake became more and more intense, and the ground was shaking. The sand was not as flat as before, and a depression appeared. Everyone changed their faces.

With another round of earthquakes, the sunken pit became bigger and bigger.

All the sand around the round pit flowed into the pit, as if to fill the hole.

But it was like a bottomless pit, never filling up, and it was still expanding outward.

Quicksand.

The quicksand circle they were most worried about still appeared.

The quicksand circle, like the mouth of a giant monster, was slowly opening, greedily swallowing everything around it.

Everyone fled out in a panic.

Guard F did not escape at the first time, but chose to chant silently.

She was the earth magician in the team, and she knew that only in the early stage could the spread of quicksand be effectively stopped.

In the chanting, a millstone-sized magic pattern appeared under her feet.

Then the magic pattern became larger and larger, expanding by five or six meters.

The most abundant element in the desert is the earth element.

A large number of earth elements gathered around her, and a huge stone fan formed under her feet and in front of her.

The rock was still getting bigger, trying to block the erosion of quicksand.

Seeing this, another magic swordsman also turned over and kept swinging his long sword forward.

A large number of rock spikes spread at any time, and the lower ends of the spikes tried to take root in the sand, but were soon knocked over by the sliding sand and vibration.

But the increasing number of rock creations could also delay the expansion of the quicksand.

But it could only delay for a while, and this time the quicksand was more violent than they imagined.

Everyone was racing against time.

But the "big mouth of the giant beast" in the middle was still opening wider and wider, and the faster it spread further back.

Harrison, protected by the guards, ran in the front and ran several hundred meters in one breath.

Running in the desert is quite difficult. For such a distance, he was already exhausted and panting.

He wanted to ride a camel beast, but the camels were more panicked than humans, and the guards were worried that he would get hurt, so he could only run on two legs.

He was bending over and holding his knees and panting wildly. He suddenly slapped his head and realized something, turned his head and looked around anxiously.

I was so busy running that I forgot to take Gwen with me.

Gwen seemed to be hit by a camel in the chaos, and her guard was carrying her out.

Others also ran in this direction, but Gwen and her guard fell behind.

Yellow sand rolled and dust flew, and Harrison couldn't find her for a while.

"Master, don't stand there, you haven't run out yet, keep running."
