Chapter 991: 991

“Help, help… Save us…” Seeing Fang Qiu, the college student, who became feeble due to struggling, suddenly regained his strength. He immediately shouted for help as if he had seen considerable hope.

The couple in the middle of quicksand also hurriedly waved to Fang Qiu for help.

“Alas…” Standing on the sand dune, Fang Qiu moved his dry lips and sighed softly while gazing at the three of them.

He was already more than halfway through his training.

If he used his internal Qi right now, all his efforts would be in vain. But if he didn’t use his internal Qi, he couldn’t save them at all.

Should he save them?

Looking at the look of the three people and listening to their desperate cries for help, Fang Qiu felt that his heart ached.

He needed to save them!

If Fang Qiu didn’t save them since he had already seen them, he would feel ashamed of himself!

“Hang in there,” Fang Qiu shouted at the three of them and then immediately strode down from the sand dune.

“Careful, be careful.” The college student shouted at Fang Qiu and said, “This is quicksand, just like a swamp. Don’t fall into it. If you fall, we will be done.”

“Call someone. Call for help.” The couple also quickly shouted, “Call 911. Then take off your clothes, take the rope from his motorcycle, twist it together, and pull us back to wait for help.”

Fang Qiu acted as if he didn’t hear what they said.

He walked all the way down with a determined look. Even if he reached the edge of the quicksand, he didn’t hesitate at all and strode in.

“No!” The college student exclaimed.

“Don’t come over.”

“Don’t come over.”

In the middle of the quicksand, the couple was also startled.

Fang Qiu was their only hope of survival.

If Fang Qiu fell into the quicksand as well, it wouldn’t take long for the four of them to be swept into the ground by the quicksand. At that time, they would all die!

Just when the three of them looked pale with shock, they were surprised to find that Fang Qiu stepped steadily on the quicksand.

It was completely different from what they had imagined.

Not only did Fang Qiu not sink into the quicksand, but he even walked smoothly. He didn’t even leave any footprints on the sand!

However, this scene gave the three a big fright.

“What, what’s going on?” The college student was stunned.

“He can’t be a ghost, can he?” In the center of the quicksand, the woman grabbed the man’s arm tightly in panic.

Fang Qiu wasn’t affected even though the three were greatly shocked.

After entering the quicksand, Fang Qiu went straight to the college student, grabbed the back of his collar, and then immediately dragged him up from the extremely soft quicksand.

“Stay here and don’t move around.”

After putting him in the safe zone next to him, Fang Qiu turned around and pulled out the woman in the center of the quicksand. He took her to the safe zone and then went back to drag the man out.

As they all left the quicksand, the three eventually survived the disaster.

All of them gasped for breath and looked at each other, feeling blessed!

Without Fang Qiu, they would be doomed.

This was the Death Desert. It was normal not to see anyone for ten days to half a month in such a desolate place. They could not get out at all once they were trapped in the quicksand. Without anyone coming to help, it would not take long for them to completely sink into it with the flow of the quicksand. At that time, they could only die.

Fortunately, they met Fang Qiu.

But how did Fang Qiu do it?

How could he step on the quicksand without sinking in?

As they felt lucky, the three of them turned their heads and looked at Fang Qiu, wanting to express their gratitude.

But before they could speak, they saw Fang Qiu turn back and walk toward the center of the quicksand.

“What are you doing?” The man of the couple asked.

Fang Qiu didn’t answer.

He walked to the center of the quicksand.

He then squatted down, stretched out his right hand, reached into the quicksand under the ground, and groped for something for a while. Then he walked to a specific position, reached out his hand again, grabbed something deep in the sand, and vigorously pulled it.

“Rustle, rustle…” As soon as Fang Qiu exerted his strength, the slow-flowing quicksand suddenly began to flow rapidly.

“The car! He’s pulling the car!” The woman screamed.

Hearing that, the two men were dumbfounded.

The car?

They didn’t expect that Fang Qiu was going to pull out the car buried in the sand.

They wondered if they were dreaming.

“Thank you, buddy. The car is not important. We can give it up. Don’t let yourself sink into the sand,” the man of the couple shouted hurriedly.

“Yes.” The college student immediately nodded in agreement and said, “You can’t pull out the car. Don’t waste your strength.”

However, as soon as he said that, the three of them froze.

Fang Qiu actually pulled out the off-road vehicle which was buried deep in the ground with one hand.

When the car was pulled out, the trunk and the driver seat were filled with sand!

The weight of the sand was already several tons, let alone the weight of the car.

Fang Qiu actually pulled out the car with the sand together.

How was this possible?

The three of them kept rubbing their eyes, thinking that they were hallucinating. They felt as if they were in a dream. They were so shocked that they couldn’t even utter a word!

The car was pulled out.

After the quicksand ran for a while, it finally stopped flowing.

“All right.” Fang Qiu turned his head to the couple and said, “Come and have a try. Does the car still work?”

Hearing that, the couple stared at Fang Qiu and the car in shock for a while, then stood up, swallowed hard, and walked to the car. They opened the door, released all the sand in the driver’s seat, and tried to start the car.

“It broke down.” After trying a few times, the couple found that they couldn’t drive the car anymore.

They didn’t think much about it.

The man quickly took out his phone to call for help.

However, after trying to make a phone call for a while, he still couldn’t get through.

“There’s no signal.” The man spread out his hands with a wry smile and said, “Fortunately, the supplies in the car are still here. As long as we don’t run into the quicksand, we can hold on for another week.”

The college student also took out his phone to make a call as he heard that.

He couldn’t get through either.

“Hello, is it Mr. Li?” Just when the three of them were helpless, Fang Qiu’s voice suddenly came.

They turned to have a look and found that Fang Qiu actually got through.

“Yes, I can send you our current location. Please come over and help us,” said Fang Qiu.

Soon, he hung up the phone.

“Buddy!” The male owner of the car came over, stared at Fang Qiu in surprise, and asked, “What kind of cell phone is this? How could you make a call in the middle of nowhere?”

Fang Qiu replied, “It works everywhere.”

After saying that, he did not continue to move forward. Instead, he stayed there and waited for rescue with the three people. He was afraid that something would happen to them again if he left.

“Buddy, who are you exactly?” Looking at Fang Qiu curiously, the male owner of the car asked, “How did you manage to walk on the quicksand without sinking into it?”

Fang Qiu smiled. “I’m just an ordinary man.”

In the face of the questions of the three people, Fang Qiu didn’t talk anything about martial arts. He only chatted with them casually.

Fang Qiu didn’t leave quietly until the rescue team arrived.

When the rescue team asked about what happened, the couple told them the whole story. When they were about to mention Fang Qiu, they turned around and found that he had disappeared.

“Where is he?”

“He was here just now.”

“That’s weird. How come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?”

Not only the couple but also the college student next to them was shocked by Fang Qiu’s sudden disappearance.

However, compared with Fang Qiu’s appearance and disappearance, the thing that he couldn’t forget was this trip.

He originally felt that this was merely a simple dream. As long as he put forth an effort, he would be able to accomplish it easily. However, after he had this experience, he discovered that this was not something that he could achieve through simple effort.

It greatly relied on one’s luck!

Especially when he recalled that he was trapped in quicksand and struggled powerlessly and could only wait for death, that feeling truly made him fear and regret from the bottom of his heart.

He was truly close to death!

As he thought about it carefully, he still wouldn’t be able to continue this trip even if he didn’t sink into the quicksand. He was seriously tormented by this hard trip.

Even though he was still full of ambition, he couldn’t hold on anymore. The moment he saw the rescue team, he decided not to ride anymore. He wanted to go back. He wanted to go back with the rescue team!

Since Fang Qiu had already used the internal Qi, Fang Qiu directly mobilized his internal Qi and left as soon as the rescue team arrived.

This training could be considered a failure.

But Fang Qiu didn’t regret it.

As for him, he didn’t come here in vain. After all, he saved three lives.

“Swish, swish…”

Fang Qiu unleashed his power and moved all the way forward, ready to return to Beijiang.

On the way, he suddenly felt a quiver all over his body.

He stopped.

Standing on a sand dune, Fang Qiu suddenly smiled.

Just now, he clearly felt some changes in his body, which stabilized the strength that he acquired after his breakthrough recently.

“What is this?” Fang Qiu pondered for a while.

He soon understood.

The reason why this happened was that after several days of hard cultivation, he suddenly relieved his tension and opened his heart. It made him breathe smoothly. And everything inside his body naturally went with the flow.

“The sages are right.” Having figured out everything, Fang Qiu sighed with emotion, “As what Buddhism said, kindness lies in human nature.”

“In Confucianism, respect the elderly as well as you respect the elderly in your family. Care for others’ children as well as you care for your own children. These sages have said long ago that once you open your heart, your life will be smoother,” as he was muttering, Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction.

This was a completely pleasant surprise to him!

Not only did he achieve the expected goal, but his strength also became more solid.

“I’m enlightened in life!” As he sighed with emotion, Fang Qiu raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar. Then, he moved and flew away quickly.

Although it was not the exact day when he needed to meet Lin Rusheng, it was almost time.

After he left the desert, he should go to Zhongnan Mountain to attend Lin Rusheng’s celebration banquet.
