Chapter 227 Desert Inn

The sky was full of yellow sand and the sun was blazing.

Zhou Heng found himself in an endless desert after entering Yang Fan's cave world. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but yellow sand.

The sunlight in the sky was extremely scorching, and the sky was clear. There was no cloud at all, so there was no shade.

It was extremely hot everywhere, giving people a feeling of being burned.

Zhou Heng suddenly felt a little weak, as if his body had changed naturally in this scorching environment. "My current body is just a paper man after all. Although it looks the same as an ordinary person, it is a little afraid of high temperatures and water."

This is the weakness of a paper man.

However, there are also advantages. The body of a paper man will not feel hungry, thirsty, or even tired.

In this way, as long as he can endure the scorching sun, his paper man body is still very suitable for walking in this endless desert.

However, he only has thirty days, which is too short to be consumed. He still needs to find a way to leave the desert as soon as possible.

But Zhou Heng knew nothing about this place. If he wanted to find a way out of the desert, the only way was to find other people as soon as possible and ask them.

The easiest way to find people is undoubtedly to find a water source or an oasis in the desert. There must be someone near the water source.

As for how to find water in the desert?

This is not a difficult thing for Zhou Heng. Although he is now a paper man, many basic attribute bonuses in physical aspects are invalid, but the basic attribute bonuses in spirit and insight are still valid.

Therefore, he can easily distinguish which directions may have water sources from the surrounding terrain, traces of insect activities, and human footprints buried by wind and sand.

Then, Zhou Heng performed Lingbo Weibu and moved forward quickly, searching one by one along the direction where the traces had been found, trying to find water sources or traces of people.

He didn't care about the consumption of internal energy at all.

This is because, after being enlightened by Yan Shouyi, when this paper man performed various martial arts or Taoist methods, all he consumed was the power contained in Yan Shouyi's breath.

The spiritual power contained in the breath of the celestial being was so strong that it was an endless internal energy force for this paper man body of only the seventh level, and it could not be used up at all.

Therefore, Zhou Heng ran all the way in this desert, and saw many skeletons and things left by these skeletons along the way.

Usually he would stop, bury the skeletons, and then wrap up the things left by these skeletons and carry them with him.

Although most of these things were broken or even weathered, and had no real use, Zhou Heng still planned to take them out of this desert.

Maybe someone outside was looking for these "skeletons". Keeping these relics might bring unexpected surprises.

This desert is really huge.

Zhou Heng ran for three hours in a row, almost a thousand miles, but still could not see the edge, and did not find a water source.

He also did not see any living people, but he saw a lot of dead skeletons and left many relics.

There were also some books, which Zhou Heng had a brief look at. Some of them were map books, and some were martial arts secrets.

However, perhaps because the laws of this world are special and it is difficult to produce a sixth-grade innate master, although some of these martial arts secrets are as powerful as the seventh-grade, or even the peak of the seventh-grade, they still make people feel very simple and rough.

Finally, in the evening, the red sun in the sky was about to set, and the temperature in the desert began to drop suddenly.

The day and night in the desert are clearly two completely different seasons, with a huge temperature difference. If ordinary people rashly use daytime clothes to rest at night, they may be frozen to death.

However, for Zhou Heng, this temperature is just right. His body, which was a little sluggish due to the high temperature during the day, gradually returned to normal.

It was at this time that he finally found traces of people, well, to be precise, there should be clear traces of someone passing by.

A long string of camel footprints.

Judging from the depth of the camel footprints, there should be a person riding on it.

Although Zhou Heng had previously used the method of looking for traces of people or animals to find water sources and traces of people, those traces had been buried by the wind and sand, and he could only find them with his extraordinary insight and spiritual power.

Now it is different. This series of camel footprints is very clear, which means that this camel, or the person riding it, is probably in front.

"Is it finally time to find someone?" Zhou Heng was very surprised, and his pace accelerated a lot. Finally, when the sun was about to set, he found a building.

It seems to be an inn.

This made Zhou Heng feel a little surprised.

In this endless desert, there is actually a restaurant inn, which is really surprising.

And it is a three-story building. It seems that the first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are bedrooms. The facilities are quite complete, and there are wooden stakes outside for tying camels.

Zhou Heng walked closer and his eyes fell on the plaque at the door of the inn.

Tongda Inn.

It is an ordinary name, and there seems to be nothing special about it, but the door is closed.

Zhou Heng looked around for a while, as if thinking about something.

However, he finally stepped forward, opened the door, and walked into the lobby of this Tongda Inn.

As soon as he opened the door, he was immediately hit by a worldly atmosphere.

The place was actually full of guests, with about 60 tables and more than 100 people, so lively.

These people were men and women, old and young, some were drinking happily, some were eating voraciously, and some were chewing slowly to taste the delicious food.

The food on the table was also varied, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, and everything else, which did not look like a desert inn with scarce resources at all.

In this Tongda Inn, Zhou Heng felt a completely different taste from the desolate and silent desert outside, as if it was two different worlds.

"Interesting." Zhou Heng smiled, retracted his gaze around, and found an empty table in the corner to sit down.

Not far in front of this table, there was a big pot, which was bubbling with steam. It should be stewed bone soup. Although it was fragrant, it was too hot, and no one wanted to sit here.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" A waiter who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old ran over and said to Zhou Heng flatteringly, "We have everything here. Just tell me what you want to eat. As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine."

"I don't really want to eat anything in particular. I just want to fill my stomach." Zhou Heng glanced at the big pot not far in front of him and said, "Give me a bowl of big bone noodles. Is it the soup from there?"

He pointed to the big pot.

"Yes, it must be!" The waiter nodded repeatedly and smiled, "Sir, you have a good eye. The old soup in this pot is the signature of our Tongda Inn. Please wait, it will be here soon."

Then, the waiter ran away and went to the back hall and disappeared.

Zhou Heng still sat in his seat, looking around, occasionally lingering on some people, and after some thought, he began to look around again. The expression on his face was calm, but he had already made some guesses in his heart.

A moment later, the waiter took light steps, as if floating over, and steadily placed a bowl of big bone soup noodles in front of Zhou Heng.

"Sir, please enjoy the big bone noodles you ordered just now. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

The waiter said with a smile on his face, but he didn't leave after serving the bowl of noodles. He still stood beside Zhou Heng's seat, as if waiting for Zhou Heng to eat the bowl of noodles.

Zhou Heng looked at the bowl of big bone noodles on the table without moving his chopsticks, as if he was a little absent-minded.

The bone soup was milky white, a little sticky, but it gave people a clear and non-greasy feeling. The noodles were crystal clear and warm, and the taste should be very good.

There were a few chopped green onions sprinkled on the noodles to increase appetite. There were ten slices of stewed red meat on the edge of the bowl, which made people drool just by looking at it.

"Good noodles." Zhou Heng nodded slightly, but still didn't move his chopsticks.

"Since it's good noodles, why don't you eat it?"

The waiter's eyes were dazed, and he put one hand on the table and said, "Sir, it's hard to find a drop of water in the desert, let alone the bone soup noodles in our inn. You can't waste it."

"I think this noodle is good, I want to enjoy it for a while." Zhou Heng smiled, and turned to look at the waiter, "You seem to be anxious for me to eat this bowl of noodles."

"No, I just want to tell you that this noodle will get cold if it's left for a long time." The waiter suddenly grinned, revealing sharp teeth like a beast, "It won't taste good if it gets cold!"

At the same time, as soon as he finished speaking, it seemed to release some special signal.

The more than 100 people in the lobby of the inn immediately stopped what they were doing, as if they were all under a spell.

The next moment, they turned their heads at the same time and looked at Zhou Heng, their eyes glowed red, their faces became stiff, and they opened their mouths in a daze.

Then they began to murmur in unison:

"Eat noodles! Eat noodles! Eat noodles! Eat this bowl of noodles, don't waste it, don't waste it! Eat this bowl of noodles, eat it..."

The layers of murmurs suddenly filled the lobby of the inn, and the waiter who looked fifteen or sixteen years old before also changed his appearance.

It turned out to be a headless corpse, and the originally neat clothes became full of blood and corpse oil. The spine grew out of the empty neck, swaying like a white worm, which was very scary.

"Eat noodles! You eat it! It won't taste good if it gets cold!"

A sharp and piercing voice suddenly came from the left and right hands of the headless corpse, and it suddenly raised its two palms and faced Zhou Heng.

Its ten fingers actually had an eye, blinking red pupils, and there was a mouth in the palm that opened and closed and shouted, and the tone was very angry.

It seemed that Zhou Heng would be unforgivable if he didn't eat the bowl of bone soup noodles.

"I don't want to eat this." Zhou Heng shook his head gently and pointed to the bowl of bone soup noodles on the table.

Now, the noodles have revealed their true form, no longer the tempting appearance that made people very appetizing.

The porcelain bowl that was originally clean has become a broken pottery basin full of dirt, and the soup inside is not milky white bone soup, but dark green corpse oil.

The noodles that originally looked crystal clear and delicious are all sections of hair, the chopped green onions are scattered nails, and the meat slices are indeed kneaded dough, but they are confirmed to be cut from human faces, and traces of human faces can be seen.

This is not bone soup noodles at all, it is clearly a disgusting thing that ghosts and spirits don't eat.

"If you don't want to eat it, then go to hell!" The waiter suddenly jumped up.

Its entire body swelled up, becoming more than ten feet tall, with dense scales on its face and hands, and the bones inside also tended to bulge out.

This appearance, apart from barely having a human form, was no longer a human at all.

Huh!

Like a sudden gust of wind, the monster transformed by the waiter spread his arms, waved a pair of palms full of evil power, and slapped Zhou Heng.

Boom!

At this moment, there was a loud noise, and a wall of the inn was suddenly smashed, and a camel suddenly rushed in.

Between the two humps of the camel, there was a person riding.

This person was wearing a yellow shirt and a bamboo hat. Judging from her figure, she should be a woman. She held a long whip in her hand and swung it in the air after rushing in.

Snap! !

With a crisp sound, the whip directly hit the "waiter" who was about to attack Zhou Heng.

This whip was obviously special, and the woman's strength was also very strong. She whipped this terrifying humanoid monster to the ground immediately.

Snap! !

Another crisp sound.

It was the woman who put away the whip, and at the same time, the extremely strong force swept through the "diners" in the lobby and knocked them all to the ground.

Just as the waiter changed, these "diners" also revealed their original appearance. They were all dead bodies with missing arms and legs, festering flesh, and drooping eyes.

"Where did you come from, you fool? You dare to enter this ghost cave inn alone. I think you don't want to live!" The woman rode on the camel and scolded, shouting: "Quickly retreat, leave here with me!"

Before she finished speaking, the woman rushed to Zhou Heng on the camel and stretched out her palm to pull him onto the camel and take him away from here.

The woman knew very well that these terrifying ghosts in front of her could not be killed at all. Even if they were knocked down temporarily, these monsters would stand up quickly.

If you want to survive, you can only run away, there is no other way.

However, she failed to pull Zhou Heng up, let alone pull him onto the camel. She felt like she was pulling a huge mountain. No matter how hard she tried, he didn't move at all.

What's going on?

What does this guy want to do?

The woman was confused and anxious. She knew that the ghosts were about to recover, and stronger ghosts would come soon.

If we don't leave, everyone will die! !

Boom!

At this moment, the woman heard a deafening thunder, and the boy she was looking at was suddenly covered with a layer of golden lightning!
