Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

Sure enough, the red beads appeared again at the center of the flower, and when its color turned as red as blood, it began to extend red threads outward.

This time, the direction of the petals that the red silk climbed up was still the same direction it pointed to at noon.

At this time, they were also moving in the direction indicated at noon, so this time the red silk was pointing forward.

Lian Li: "We are not going in the wrong direction. This is the direction."

Yun Huizhou hummed, and his breath sprayed on the side of Lian Li's neck, which felt a little itchy. Fortunately, the temperature has dropped now, otherwise Lian Li would have pushed him away and complained about the heat.

"Look, isn't this red silk thicker than before?" Yun Huizhou suddenly straightened up and pointed at the lotus.

To be honest, this direction is not very convenient for observing red silk.

Lian Li thought about it, then turned the camel so that he and Yun Huizhou were sitting face to face.

Yun Huizhou: "...what are you doing?"

Lian Li replied: "I sit like this, and the red silk petals are on my side, so I can observe them better."

Yun Huizhou smiled and said, "Did you observe anything?"

Lian Li stared at the red silk petals for a long time before saying, "It is indeed a little thicker. I don't know if it's because we are getting closer or because time is getting closer."

Yun Huizhou said: "Anyway, we are not going in the wrong direction. I don't know when the next red silk will appear."

Lian Li said, "Last time it was at noon, this time it was in the evening, and the next time might be at midnight? And the next time it will be at dawn? We must be resting at midnight, and we won't be traveling at night. If it comes out at midnight, we will remember the thickness of the red thread, and then wait at the same place at dawn tomorrow to see if it will appear again. By comparing it at that time, we can know whether the thickness of the red thread is related to distance or time."

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the red beads and red threads on the transparent lotus faded again.

After Lian Li put away the transparent lotus, he prepared to sit up straight and drive the Yunhuizhou back to his own camel.

Then his plan encountered an obstacle at the first step.

Yun Huizhou didn't let him go back.

"What are you doing! Let go."

Because she was on a camel, Lian Li was afraid that struggling too much would scare the camel, so she didn't struggle very hard. It was more like she was acting coquettishly than struggling.

Yun Huizhou hugged him tighter and said, "Are you trying to play hard to get by struggling like this?"

Lian Li looked up at him, his eyes full of disbelief. He said, "I struggled so hard, and you actually said I was playing hard to get?"

Yun Huizhou lowered his head and kissed him, then said, "Are you serious? I can't tell."

Lian Li didn't say anything, just stared at him, and didn't kiss him back, but secretly tried to break free.

Seeing that he was so uncooperative, Yun Huizhou had no choice but to lower his head and kiss him again, saying, "Just hug me for a while."

Hearing these coquettish words, Lian Li felt secretly happy, and his struggling movements became much milder, but he still said, "It's mainly because the weather is a bit hot."

The desert is indeed very hot during the day, but now that the sun has set, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, so it is not hot anymore.

Yun Huizhou knew that he was just being stubborn, so he didn't expose him. He just buried his head in his neck and smiled.

The vibration caused by the chuckle made Lian Li feel numb all over, and he couldn't help but want to push the person away again.

But considering that they hadn't been so close to each other for a long time except when sleeping, he didn't move.

At midnight, they both opened their eyes at the same time.

"That transparent lotus is heating up again."

Yun Huizhou stepped back a little and said.

The two of them were sleeping in each other's arms, and Yun Huizhou could feel it when the transparent lotus became warm.

Lian Li rubbed his eyes, took out the lotus and handed it to Yun Huizhou.

Yun Huizhou took the transparent lotus and went to the fire to observe.

Lian Li lay down for a while, then got up and sat down next to Yun Huizhou.

Sure enough, the red silk on the lotus was thicker than before.

Moreover, the thickness increased more this time at midnight than that in the evening.

Lian Li calculated the time, it was about three hours, that is, it heated up once every six hours.

The time is the same, but the degree of thickening is different, which means it has nothing to do with time.

Moreover, they thought the weather was too hot in the afternoon, so they set out after four o'clock, and did not stop until almost ten o'clock in the evening to rest.

If you calculate it this way, the distance they walked from dusk to midnight was longer than the distance they walked from noon to dusk.

Yun Huizhou also thought of this and said, "It seems that it is indeed related to the distance. It also proves that we are indeed going in the right direction."

However, Lian Li jokingly said, "What if we happened to go in the opposite direction? The further we go, the thicker the red thread will be."

After hearing this, Yun Huizhou was stunned for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be..."

He turned around in a panic and looked in the direction they came from: "Then should we go back?"

Lian Li saw that he was really frightened by what he said, so he quickly said, "I was just joking. Besides, we were there a few days ago and walked all the way from there. There was nothing unusual. It doesn't look like a place where treasures can be hidden."

Yun Huizhou sighed and said, "I know what you said, but it's hard to say for sure. But... Anyway, we have to choose between continuing in this direction and going in the opposite direction. Should we continue in the current direction or go back?"

Lian Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied, "You've really confused me. I'm inclined to continue in the current direction. After all, it's a choice between two options, with a 50% chance. We won't be so unlucky, right?"

Yun Huizhou nodded: "I also think we should continue in this direction and not turn back."

Lian Li patted Yun Huizhou on the shoulder and said, "It's a deal then. We won't go back. If we go the wrong way and miss something, we'll carry it together."

Yun Huizhou smiled and said, "Yes, we will definitely carry it together."

Lian Li and Yun Huizhou were lucky and did not encounter any horse bandits running around the desert for several days.

In fact, we are now deep in the desert. The desert is so vast that it would be difficult to take a few more steps without bumping into people.

The group of killers never showed up again, and the two men were not worried that the killers were hiding too deeply.

After all, they have been holding the transparent lotus almost all the time these past two days. If the killers were still keeping an eye on them, they would definitely notice the transparent lotus in their hands.

They all dared to target the South Island Master, so it is impossible that they did not have the courage to rob them.

However, as time went on, they went deeper and deeper into the desert, and the camels became much slower in finding water sources.

In the past, we could find a water source every two days or so, but now it has been four days since we last found a water source.

The two of them now drink water sparingly.

Lian Li was afraid that they would not be able to find a water source before they finished drinking all the water, so he had already started collecting every bit of water he could by taking advantage of the temperature difference between day and night.
