4206 Chapter 4206: Trapped in a deep pit
After a while, everyone calmed down a little and began to discuss.
“I didn’t expect that the wind blades wouldn’t be able to blow into the deep pit. If I had known earlier, we would have dug our way out.”
“Forget it! The bottom of this ghost city isn’t full of sand, so we can dig a hole. But the outside is full of sand, and the sand is flowing. How did you dig such a deep hole?”
“That’s right. The wind blades in this deep pit can’t blow in. Who knows if this is the situation in the desert outside?”
!!
..
Manager Sun didn’t participate in their discussion. Instead, he roughly counted the number of people.
Although the time just now was very short, there were still some casualties. Fortunately, most of the casualties were wandering cultivators. Island Master Qi and the others didn’t suffer any injuries.
Because the space at the bottom of the pit was limited, people were close to each other, and some people could only stand sideways.
Manager Sun coughed twice and said, “Everyone, our top priority now is to expand the area of this deep pit. This way, it will be more convenient for everyone.”
Everyone felt that what he said made sense, so they immediately worked together to expand the deep pit.
Qu Fang mumbled to Xiao Yue, “See? Those people were still blaming junior sister Yun. If it wasn’t for junior sister Yun insisting on digging this deep pit to look for the array disk, they would have died a long time ago.”
When some people heard Qu Fang’s words, their faces revealed some unnaturalness! They wanted to retort that if it wasn’t for Yun Chujiu, the protective array wouldn’t have been broken, but when they remembered that the protective array was also discovered by Yun Chujiu, they held back their words. Since they were already dead, what was the point of saying all this? !
After expanding the deep pit a little, they sat down on the ground. Although their lives weren’t in danger for the time being, the water shortage was serious now. Sooner or later, they would die of thirst if they weren’t cut to death by the wind blades.
Another three days passed, and their condition worsened. Firstly, they were short of water. Secondly, although the wind blades couldn’t reach the bottom, the sand kept blowing down, making them unable to open their eyes.
Fortunately, these people were all cultivators, and their willpower was much stronger than ordinary people. Otherwise, they would have collapsed long ago.
Qu Fang called Xiao Yue to a corner and passed her a spirit fruit under the cover of his sleeve. “This was given to me by Junior Sister Yun previously. Eat It.”
Xiao Yue subconsciously swallowed her saliva. Although their master-disciple water spirit root was a little stronger than the others, it only guaranteed that they would not die of thirst. This spirit fruit was too attractive to her.
However, she had always been proud and wouldn’t accept it, so she said with a cold face, “I’m not thirsty. You can eat it yourself.”
Qu Fang forcefully stuffed the spirit fruit into Xiao Yue’s hand. “Just take it as compensation for the slash I gave you previously. Don’t worry, I still have a few more here!”
Xiao Yue looked at Qu Fang’s cracked and bleeding lips, as well as his clearly guilty gaze, and her heart inexplicably trembled. She wasn’t stupid, so she naturally understood that Qu Fang was lying. He only had this one spirit fruit in his hand.
Now that a great disaster was approaching, other than master’s usual love for her, those senior and junior brothers who had been circling around her before were all minding their own business, not to mention Tower Master Luochen who did not even look at her.
Only this fool was either helping her block the raging sand, or helping her keep watch, and now he had given her the only spirit fruit..
Qu Fang saw that Xiao Yue’s eyes were a little red and immediately said somewhat anxiously, “Did the sand scrape into your eyes? Quickly get behind me, I’ll help you block it.”
Xiao Yue kept the spirit fruit into her storage ring and glared at him. “Fool!”
Then, she ran away.
Qu Fang was completely confused as he foolishly scratched his hair. He could scold her as long as she accepted it.
