The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

Chapter 417 - 417: On the Cusp!

"No."

The parrot shook its head, saying that there was a tower in this area last time it came, but now it's nowhere to be seen.

"Tower?"

Qin Feng became puzzled and asked, "What was the situation back then?"

"I've forgotten, I only remember that there was a strong wind blowing."

the parrot said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng fell into contemplation.

Could it be that the tower was buried by the yellow sand, and then when the wind blew, it scattered the sand away?

That shouldn't be the case!

Logically speaking, the strong winds in this kind of place would only bring more yellow sand.

Qin Feng simply stood up and climbed up a nearby sand dune, looking around in all directions.

The area was surrounded by sand dunes, making it impossible to distinguish which one was the tower.

Helpless.

He had no choice but to return to the lakeside and continue thinking.

Those who went to look for the entrance were also unable to hold on, one by one, they returned here parched and exhausted.

Wu Shijie came back and, seeing the big pool of lake water, excitedly jumped in to drink his fill, then complained to Qin Feng, "We are struggling to find the entrance around here, and you are enjoying yourself here, that's too much!"

Qin Feng ignored him, just pondering over what the parrot had said.

Wu Shijie felt ignored and even more indignant.

Qin Feng, deep in thought, asked Professor Ma, "Professor, you're more familiar with the desert. Among the surrounding sand dunes, many are made of piled-up yellow sand, very soft. How strong would the wind need to be to blow away the sand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Shijie couldn't help but burst into laughter and exclaimed, "I say, you really are an idiot. This is a desert, a wind strong enough to disperse a sand dune would only bring more sand, so the sand dunes would only get bigger, they can't be blown away at all. Got it now? Hahaha..."

"That's correct."

Professor Ma agreed with his view, saying, "If the wind is weak, it has no effect, but if the wind is strong, it will bring other sand, so the sand dune won't be dispersed."

Wu Shijie became even more proud, and said to Qin Feng again, "Did you hear that? Even Professor Ma agrees with what I said. You better learn a thing or two!"

At that moment.

Lin Xue'er also came back, completely exhausted, saying, "The wind was too strong, I almost had an accident."

"What happened? The wind was strong?"

Qin Feng was puzzled.

He knew Lin Xue'er hadn't gone far, and there was wind in this area, but it wasn't strong, so why would she say the wind was too strong?

"Yes, there might be a wind funnel over there, I had difficulty even breathing there."

Lin Xue'er said.

Wind funnel?

Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but shudder.

After hesitating briefly.

He immediately climbed the sand dune beside him again.

Following the direction Lin Xue'er mentioned, he observed the distribution of all the sand dunes.

Finally.

His eyes slowly widened as he finally had a breakthrough understanding!

"I finally understand!"

Qin Feng exclaimed with widened eyes.

The distribution of all the sand dunes, was like a maze.

The winding valleys under the dunes, were paths in the maze.

The wind that blew in from the mouth of the dunes, shuttled through the valleys, and in the end, converged in a specific way, blowing towards one place together.

That place, was the wind funnel!

In other words.

The wind on the ground might only be at levels two or three, but when it all comes together at the wind funnel, it could turn into a level seven or eight gale!

And the sand being blown over.

By the time it reached the wind funnel, most of it would have been blocked by the sand dunes on the way.

These sand dunes acted as "sand filters"!

"If I'm not mistaken, the sand dune directly ahead in line with the wind should be the entrance!"

Qin Feng muttered.

He immediately descended the hill and said to Lin Xue'er, "Take us over there, that's where the entrance is."

"Ah? But, I haven't noticed anything."

Lin Xue'er said.

"Trust me, I'm right."

Qin Feng smiled.

Wu Shijie, however, was not pleased and shouted, "Hey, hey, are you such an expert? Do you know the desert so well? You don't know anything, why should we listen to you? With such a large lake here, I don't want to leave the water source." Thiscontentoriginatesfrom*,MyVirtualLibraryEmpire.

He ranted and raved, but Qin Feng completely ignored him, packed up his stuff, and walked ahead with Lin Xue'er.

Professor Ma and the others hesitated for a moment but also decided to follow him.

That left Wu Shijie alone.

No choice.

He had to follow along too.

A moment later.

The group arrived at the wind mouth that Lin Xue'er had mentioned.

Ahead was a very tall, yet slender sand dune, surrounded by six other sand dunes and three canyons facing it.

Qin Feng and his party stopped at the mouth of one of the canyons.

He tried moving forward from the canyon entrance.

Sure enough.

The wind was much stronger inside than in the canyon.

Stepping in, one could hardly walk steadily.

Professor Ma asked curiously, "Where is the entrance?"

"Over there."

Qin Feng pointed to the slender and tall sand dune, facing the three canyons, resembling a towering pillar of Heavenly Stone.

"Stop messing around!"

Wu Shijie now scornfully said, "That's a mountain, how could it possibly be an entrance? I think you have a problem with your eyes, or maybe, you're delusional?"

Qin Feng still ignored him and continued to explain to Professor Ma, "According to my speculation, there should be a tower there. When the wind is light, like now, the sand will cover the tower with the wind, but when the wind is strong, with the three canyons counteracting, a vortex will form, preventing too much sand from covering it, which is why it's so 'slender.'"

"When the outside wind picks up, the wind within the vortex will also increase, filtering out the sandy wind through this range of dunes, clearing the sand off when it hits it. Then, when the wind dies down, it will again get covered by sand, repeating this cycle."

After Qin Feng finished,

Wu Shijie wanted to scorn him again, but Professor Ma spoke up, "Not bad, your analysis of the terrain makes a lot of sense. Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed the terrain here could create such a vortex. But how do you know there's a tower inside?"

"It told me."

Qin Feng pointed to the parrot flying in the sky.

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Seeing this, Wu Shijie burst into laughter, "Hahaha... You actually believe a bird, that's hilarious; has a donkey kicked your head? Hahaha..."

While laughing,

Suddenly, he heard two "plop" sounds.

It turned out the parrot he had scorned relieved itself on his head, leaving bird droppings flowing down his forehead…

"Damn it!!"

Wu Shijie was angry and wanted to kill the parrot.

But he was no match for the parrot.

He was quickly scratched up, begging for mercy, until the parrot let him go.

"Now, we have two options," Qin Feng said, "One is to dig out the tower's door by ourselves, the other is to wait for a stronger wind."

"Let's wait for the wind!"

Professor Ma looked at the sky and said, "According to the wind speed, humidity, and the surrounding terrain, it seems that a strong wind would occur here periodically; it should be coming soon."

"Okay."

Qin Feng nodded.

At this moment.

Suddenly, everyone heard a roaring noise coming from the sky!
