The rest of the trip continued as usual. This time, they didn't encounter any animals in the desert, and they walked peacefully.

Team leader Zhao said that their trip to the desert was actually quite smooth. After all, they never encountered the most unlucky water shortage in this scene. Apart from that, apart from the long distance and long time, they really did not experience any problems. any problem.

However, when it was three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Linyuan suddenly shouted: "It's not good, there is a sandstorm ahead!"

Everyone: What!
This sandstorm is definitely a very annoying natural phenomenon in the desert, because it is possible to completely bury a person in the sand, or to be lighter, to blow away all the water bags and food on the person. At that time, it is basically the same as waiting for death .
Right now, He Ningzhou acted calmly, saying: "It doesn't matter, we put all the water bags in the storage equipment, and then run to a place far away from the sandstorm. How long will it be until now?"

Xu Linyuan has now seen the sandstorm appearing on the edge of the shooting screen, and he roughly calculated, "At the current speed, it will come in less than 10 minutes. If you want to run, you should go that way."

He gestured to the right with his hand raised.

"Then run quickly!" He Ningzhou said, and directly prepared Shen Xinghe, "Run as fast as possible!"

After saying that, he ran out immediately, Shen Xinghe was really embarrassed on his back, and he didn't know if the other team members' hearts would be very unbalanced.

It is said to be "maximum speed", but He Ningzhou is basically consistent with the others. After running for a few minutes, they looked forward, and the shadow of a sandstorm appeared far ahead, and that place had changed. It has become a khaki color, and it is still expanding at a very fast speed.

"Run!"

He Ningzhou shouted again, the only way right now is to stay away from the center as much as possible, the wind force at the edge will be much smaller, at least there is no risk of burying them in the sand, and soon they can already feel a strong blow The airflow, and that piece of khaki is expanding at an extremely rapid speed, almost leaving half of the sky without other colors.

After another half a minute, they could already feel a strong wind blowing towards them, their hair was flying in all directions, and they could hardly open their eyes. He Ningzhou immediately put down Shen Xinghe, and then hugged her and fell to the ground, " Lie down!"

Then Shen Xinghe felt that he was firmly pressed down, no, it should be said that he was under protection.

The boy's hand hugged her tightly, except for the tangy smell of sand, she could barely feel the wind, and Shen Xinghe didn't know if he had opened a barrier to protect them, but he didn't feel much harm, except lying on the ground. The position on the ground makes breathing a little difficult.

She opened her eyes, raised her head slightly, and saw that the front was basically completely covered by yellow sand, and she couldn't even see a little bit of other colors. They seemed to be buried deep in a wave of wildly dancing yellow sand, and they never saw each other again. In the daytime, this feeling is actually very scary.

Shen Xinghe still closed his eyes, and buried his head tightly in the arms of the boy beside him.

She didn't know how long it had been like this, but she finally knew that the boy said, "Okay, it's over, you can get up."

Only then did Shen Xinghe raise his head again. In fact, the shadow of the storm could still be seen in the distance, but the scenery around them had basically returned to normal. Xu Linyuan looked at the route, and they deviated a little from the normal route, but it didn't matter. Just walk over there next.

"My God," Zhao Yixing patted the sand on his body with lingering fear, feeling like he had taken a sand bath, "The wind is really strong."

Their companions were more or less dirty, but when Shen Xinghe looked at He Ningzhou, he felt that his appearance hadn't changed much. In fact, this person hadn't changed much since he came to the desert. , The whole process was that calm and breezy appearance.

They had already put everything into the storage equipment before the sandstorm came, so now there is no loss, and they adjusted and went on the road soon.

"Brothers and sisters," their team leader said at this time, "everyone is frightened today. Tonight we can sleep from eleven o'clock to seven o'clock in the morning, so that everyone can have a full rest time. I hope that by then We're two-thirds of the way there, the rest is pretty simple."

sleep……

Bringing this matter up now really made Shen Xinghe completely afraid to look at that boy.

A certain boy held her hand, and even looked expectant. Shen Xinghe really wanted to tell him that he didn't want to sleep with him tonight!
They didn't encounter any obstacles on the next road. It was getting darker and darker. They ate and drank water as usual. When it was ten o'clock, Xu Linyuan told them that they had reached two-thirds of the distance. position, and persist for another day to reach the destination.

Even if Shen Xinghe was exhausted again, he couldn't help cheering up, but soon his body was on the verge of falling, and he almost fell on the boy beside him.

He Ningzhou supported her, and they insisted on finishing the hour before they started to sleep again.

He Ningzhou looked at the girl again, today her lips are much more chapped than the previous two days, I don't know if it is because of the sandstorm, but looking at this look is really not pleasing to the eye. When she leaned closer, a finger suddenly appeared on her lips, and the girl who seemed to have fallen asleep opened her eyes, and said clearly but firmly: "Don't kiss me."

He Ningzhou smiled and held her hand, "Then you come and kiss me, and then I will do it for you, the effect is the same."

"Are you kidding me!" Shen Xinghe couldn't bear it anymore, "What do you think our relationship is always like this?"

The boy blinked, a little confused, so he said: "Does this have anything to do with it? I just do it because I like it."

The castle was already in sight, they accelerated uncontrollably, and finally arrived at the castle at around 08:30.

At this time, the boy from before appeared in front of them again, "Congratulations for successfully completing the first stage of the challenge. Next, please enter the castle and proceed to the second stage. Help me find a book called "Thunderstorm". Pass this mission."

After speaking, he disappeared again, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Well," the team leader said helplessly, "then shall we go in now?"

"Go in." He Ningzhou really had no other way.

They walked into the castle, and what immediately appeared in front of them was a very spacious hall, with two staircases leading to the second floor on both sides, but they couldn't see the scenery upstairs for the time being.

There is a huge crystal chandelier on the top of the hall. This place is obviously very suitable for holding a dance party, but what they are looking for right now is a book that knows the meaning of the title but has no idea whether there is such a book in the world. In a house like this it is quite difficult.

"Do you think your drone can be used?" Zhao Yixing asked Xu Linyuan.

"It can be used, but only if it is placed where my drone can see it," the boy said. "If it is placed in the study, and the study is closed, then I will definitely not read it." arrive."

"In this case, let's use the drone to look around while walking," He Ningzhou said, "Let's go to the study room now, I think this task is to put things where we can find them after a meal , This will be done by drones, or we will get some clues to help us find, among which we need to do some tasks or fight monsters. Team leader, what do you think?"

"I think you're right." Team leader Zhao said, "Then follow what you said, Lin Yuan, use the drone to observe all the places you can see so far, and then we'll go to the study."

"No problem." Xu Linyuan said, and then looked at them, "Do you know where the study is?"

Zhao Yixing and He Ningzhou: "..."

"Forget it, let me help you find where the study is first." Xu Linyuan released the drone while speaking, and searched the road for any shadows of books. As a result, he found that whether it was the hall he saw so far, or a The stairs and corridors seen on the way to the second floor, the layout of this place is neat and interesting, and there is absolutely no place where a book suddenly appears.

He saw many rooms with closed doors on the second floor. He didn't know which one was the study room for a while, so he went to the third floor, only to find a sign on the door of a room on the third floor, which read: study room.

But now the door of the study is closed, and their team leader led them to the third floor.

Zhao Yixing was still a little hesitant to knock on the door when he got outside the study room, but he pushed it open anyway, and the study room was not locked as expected.

They thought there would be no one in this place, but as soon as they entered, they saw a little boy about five years old sitting there reading a book, and Zhao Yixing was so scared that he almost slammed into the door.

"Well, excuse me," he said hastily, "we're here to find a book."

At the same time, I can't help but wonder if there are still people living in this place?But why didn't you light the lights last night?Could it be because they were all asleep...

"Please feel free," said the child.

"Thank you," Zhao Yixing nodded, thought for a while and asked again, "May I ask you a question? If we can't find it here, can you give us some clues?"

"What book are you looking for?" the boy asked.

"It's called Thunderstorm."

"Then you should search here first. If you can't find it, go to the second floor. It may be placed in the room. But I want to remind you a few words. First, some doors here are locked, and some doors are locked. The door is not locked, and if it is locked, you don't have to try to get in, because there is definitely no one. If it is unlocked, you can get in."
"As for those unlocked rooms, if you still can't find them after entering, you can find a painting. It is a full-body portrait of a man. There is only one room. You will know when you see it. Once the painting is taken down, you will know where to go next.”

"In addition, I would like to remind you that you can walk around in this house freely, but you are not allowed to touch anything except the book and the painting you are looking for. The consequences are immeasurable, and I believe you will not want to take this risk."

The cold sweat on Team Leader Zhao's forehead almost broke out when he said this, and said: "Thank you, we understand."

Then they searched in front of that bookshelf. At the same time, Xu Linyuan was also searching with drones. As a result, they searched several rows of bookshelves and thousands of books here, but they couldn't find the target book, so they had to say goodbye to the boy and leave. .
