Chapter 645: Arrow
Although the stone house has thick walls and a roof to keep out the heat, and there are even some dilapidated talismans inside to help cool it down, the actual temperature inside is still as hot as the outdoor temperature in the middle of summer in real life.
The moment Li Nian took off her soft clothes, a layer of fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on her forehead.
"Damn it, this damn place is too hot," Li Nian stuck out her tongue, but still threw the soft coat to Lin Yu, "But wear it... It's too hot outside, Sister Zhu Ming, I'm afraid you'll die on the way."
Lin Yu took the soft clothes and felt that they were light and cool, just like clothes woven from ice and snow into silk threads.
He didn't bother to be polite because the temperature outside really did seem ridiculously hot.
"Thanks, Anian."
As Lin Yu spoke, he put on the soft clothes and instantly felt much refreshed.
The cool feeling continuously transmits through the skin, completely isolating the scorching heat outside.
Although the exposed parts can still feel hot, having such a piece of clothing can indeed alleviate most of the most difficult difficulties in the Hell Mountain Realm Fire Hell!
Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh that Li Nian, this "master thief", was indeed more comprehensive than the average "second-level"!
After all, she could steal any useful [props] she saw, so her reserves of various functional [props] must be much more than that of ordinary players.
After putting on the soft clothes, Lin Yu followed Wu San and Yue Zhenqiao to the door.
Just as she was about to leave, Li Nian spoke from behind Lin Yu: "Hey, Sister Zhu Ming—remember to return this dress when you come back."
"I'm dying of heat, so please come back quickly!"
As she spoke, Lin Yu waved his hand.
"Don't worry, it won't take long—it's so hot out, and I don't want to stay any longer."
As she spoke, she and Yue Zhenqiao, Wu San and the others pushed open the door of the stone house and walked outside.
Then...
The unprecedentedly strong light from the sky poured down, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Although he didn't know what principle operated the sun's trajectory in the Hell of Fire, Lin Yu finally understood why the escort team was so determined to find a place to rest at noon.
Because noon in this world is far different from the morning, evening and noon in midsummer in other worlds, with a temperature difference of only a dozen degrees.
Although the temperature felt like 40 or 50 degrees Celsius just now, it is still within the scope of "extreme weather".
At this moment, the world outside is like the end of the world!
Above the sky, three scorching suns as huge as wheels, shining on each other, and the scorching light pierced through the clouds like a knife blade and shone directly on the earth.
The mountains in the distance were distorted in the heat wave, like an illusory mirage.
Even with the help of soft clothes, Lin Yu still felt that he was almost sunburned to death.
He recalled a fu written by Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty, which contained a famous line that has been passed down through the ages.
"Heaven and earth are the furnace, nature the craftsman; yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper!"
At this moment, Lin Yu actually felt that this philosophical saying seemed like a plain description.
Every breath feels like swallowing cigarettes and every swallow of saliva feels like drinking boiling hot soup!
The temperature now is at least seventy or eighty degrees!
This is definitely not a safe range for humans to move around in, not even for martial artists.
Lin Yu turned his head to look at Wu San and Yue Zhenqiao, only to see that the two escorts did not resist.
Yue Zhenqiao carefully took out the exquisitely crafted wooden box, took out a talisman that looked very precious, tore it into pieces and stuck it on his body.
The talismans emitted bursts of white smoke, as if helping them resist the high temperature.
Even so, Wu San and Yue Zhenqiao were still thirsty from the heat - in just a few seconds, their clothes were soaked with sweat.
The sweat evaporated almost instantly, leaving only a thin layer of white frost.
"Lady, this is the 'Bingxin Fu' from the 'Deqing Temple'. Please stick it on!"
Lin Yu took the talisman from Yue Zhenqiao without refusing. He tore a hole in it and stuck it on his forehead.
After all, I have Li Nian's soft clothes on me, so I don't need this for the time being.
After tearing it open, Lin Yu instantly felt a cool sensation on his head.
"Good talisman."
He praised, rolled up the talisman and pinned it to his hair with a hairpin, then waved his hand: "Let's go, this talisman should have a limited shelf life and is very precious, don't waste it."
After all, Lin Yu had just glanced at it and saw that there were only a few of these talismans in Yue Zhenqiao's box, only a thin layer.
And if the talisman lasts for a long time, Yue Zhenqiao and Wu San will definitely not need to come out and stick it on again.
Under the scorching sun, the three of them immediately set off and headed in the direction where the escort car had just been sent.
Yue Zhenqiao looked solemn. "I don't know what happened that forced Old Liu to ignore everything at noon and directly send out a signal arrow to ask for help!"
Wu San also nodded: "Liu Chengyang is an old man who has followed you for a long time. He entered the industry only a year later than me. He is very steady and will not shoot rashly."
"Something unexpected must have happened to him, which is why he resorted to such a desperate measure!"
Although walking inside Chenjiabao, the surroundings are extremely quiet at this moment - there is no sound from the houses on both sides.
Although it was noon, the eerie silence seemed to indicate something.
In particular, Lin Yu was very clear that there were essentially no living people in Chenjiabao!
Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but urge Lao Zheng again.
"You should check the situation out. It's cooler now, so work faster!"
Old Zheng quickly spoke up, "Stop arguing. I'm investigating. The moment you came out, I sensed a certain presence, a very powerful presence, that seemed to be watching you. I'm quietly tracking you."
"Okay, just keep working."
After Lin Yu finished explaining things to Lao Zheng, he looked at Yue Zhenqiao and Wu San.
During the conversation between the two just now, Lin Yu also had a question.
"Captain Yue, Master Wu... why are you so sure that the whistling arrow was fired by the master named Liu Chengyang?"
After all, Lin Yu remembered that the deputy escort leader and the two escort masters in charge of the guard were all carrying bows.
Although the deputy escort leader seemed to be better at using a knife, he used a knife to stop the mandrill before, and the bow was just placed casually on the horse.
But... since you have a bow and quiver, you should be able to shoot arrows.
But when Yue Zhenqiao heard Lin Yu's words, he felt a little strange.
"That's strange, lady...it's because Liu Chengyang is the only one guarding the escort vehicle."
When Lin Yu heard Yue Zhenqiao's words, he sighed and spoke.
"Captain Yue, I think I know why the flares were fired over there."
"Will you arrange for one man to guard the escort car?"
Yue Zhenqiao's expression changed slightly.
"You mean..."
"Two people are missing over there too. As far as I remember, you arranged three people to guard the escort—one of whom is the deputy escort leader of your escort company!"
