The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Chapter 1411: Chapter 809: Survival: If You Die, I Can’t Live Either

The sandstorm attacked wildly.

The moment the people and horses were submerged.

Xiao Luming shouted loudly, "Protect yourself first!"

The next moment, everyone was swept away by the sandstorm.

The sandstorm lifted sand particles, dead wood, and rocks from the ground, hitting randomly on their bodies and faces. Their view was filled with endless yellow sand, unable to open their eyes, and even when open, nothing around could be seen clearly. Everyone was blown apart by the sandstorm, struggling, lost in a world without daylight.

It was unclear how long it passed.

The sandstorm came to a halt.

The desert seemed to have transformed into a new scene.

The usual sand dunes disappeared, while unnatural ones were piled up.

Xiao Luming opened his eyes.

It was unknown when he had fainted.

Upon waking again, it was unclear where he had arrived, only feeling a suffocating pressure in his chest, as if he would choke.

He felt some moisture on his face.

Was it raining?!

How could it possibly rain so easily in the desert?

"Your Majesty."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

Xiao Luming’s vision seemed to gain focus, gradually recognizing Xie Qianyun, who was some distance away.

He tried to move his body.

"Don’t move, Your Majesty, you’re caught in quicksand; struggling will only make you sink deeper," Xie Qianyun said nervously.

Xiao Luming looked down and realized his situation.

His body had sunk more than halfway into the quicksand, with only the part above his chest exposed. The water on his face was probably what Xie Qianyun used to wake him.

"I searched around just now but couldn’t find any stick to pull you out. Just wait a moment while I make a rope with my clothes. Your Majesty, remain calm," Xie Qianyun kept advising.

During their desert combat training, they naturally also trained in desert survival skills, including rescue operations when trapped in quicksand.

Xiao Luming nodded slightly.

He was currently exhausted to the point he couldn’t utter a word.

Xie Qianyun swiftly tore her clothes and skillfully made a makeshift rope, testing its strength. Once it seemed sturdy, she threw it to Xiao Luming.

"Hold tight, Your Majesty," Xie Qianyun said.

Xiao Luming reached out to grab it.

"Don’t apply force, Your Majesty. I’ll use all my strength to pull you out," Xie Qianyun reminded again.

Xiao Luming nodded again.

Xie Qianyun tugged at the makeshift rope with force.

Getting someone out of quicksand is different from rescuing someone from water. The sand particles bind legs and feet like seaweed, requiring great effort to extract someone.

Xie Qianyun gritted her teeth.

Using inner strength, she gradually pulled Xiao Luming out, bit by bit, from the quicksand.

It took a long time.

After finally rescuing Xiao Luming from the quicksand, Xie Qianyun lay exhausted on the ground.

Xiao Luming had spent too long in the quicksand; after coming out, he had no strength left and lay on the yellow sand, both barely alive under the blazing sun.

The sky darkened slightly.

The sunset touched the horizon.

Xie Qianyun sat up.

As she closed her eyes, she continually told herself not to sleep or rest for too long; she had to find a water source.

Otherwise, by the time her mother finds them, they might have become dried corpses.

Xie Qianyun glanced at Xiao Luming beside her.

He lay motionless on the ground; faint breaths indicated he was still alive.

Xie Qianyun crawled over and shook Xiao Luming, "Your Majesty, get up; we need to find a water source."

Earlier, she used the last bit of water she had to awaken Xiao Luming.

Now, they had nothing left on them.

The sandstorm had scattered everyone else.

She had actually searched for a long time before finding Xiao Luming, half of his body submerged in quicksand.

Xiao Luming lay completely still.

His body was extremely frail.

At that moment, he seemed to hear some sounds around him. His parched lips parted slightly, "Water..."

"Get up, let’s find a water source," Xie Qianyun urged again.

Xiao Luming remained motionless.

Continuously murmuring, "Water, water..."

Xie Qianyun gritted her teeth and took the dagger she carried, slicing her wrist. Quickly, she lifted Xiao Luming’s head so his lips were near her wrist.

Xiao Luming remained in a daze.

From the moment Xie Qianyun woke him in the quicksand until she spent a long time rescuing him from it, he had been in an extremely scattered mental state.
