Chapter 446: Sandstorm
The wolf turned away from the wounded wolf and turned back to attack the monitor lizards.
As soon as one of them is found to be powerless, the wolves will gather to attack it until it becomes their mouth.
Huang Tengxiao and a few people led a few camels that had no sense of danger to the edge of the basin, looked at the bottom of the basin and said, "Well, why is there such a big pit hidden here???
Ling Wenjiao said: "You have to stand on a high place to see." โ
They led the camels and horses down to the bottom of the basin, which was very spacious, and the adults found a place to tie the horses and camels.
At this time, Huang Tengxiao thought of a question a little strangely: "But if those wolves have been following us and the target is those lizards, that means those lizards have been following us?"
Think about the length of the lizard's legs, and think of the length of the horse's legs......
How do they keep up with their little short legs????
Ling Wenjiao said: "This kind of thing they have patience and strong tracking skills. If we don't stop, they won't be able to keep up. But we walked during the day and stopped at night. And when they are dumped by us during the day, they can chase them at night. โ
Even if it's a long distance, they will be able to keep up.
Xiao Dong and Xiao Liang leaned over and looked at her: "Why do you know so clearly?"
Ling Wenjiao said: "I don't believe you, ask Cansandi if it is." โ
Xiao Dong and the two immediately gossiped about Cansanti about the monitor lizard.
Cansandi heard the gossip from the guide and explained, "Oh, these monitor lizards have a very keen sense of smell and can track them all the way from the horse's hooves. They are also very patient and can track their prey for long periods of time. To forage for food in this desert, tracking skills are essential. Once they set their sights on their targets, they will keep tracking their prey day and night, and can catch up for ten days and half a month. โ
When Xiao Dong and the two of them heard it, this was really similar to what Ling Wenjiao said.
Cansandy continued, "They are also a powerful predator in the desert, as they like to live in groups and hunt in groups. Compared to their old rivals, the African wolves, these guys are also particularly difficult. โ
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it. Come over and camp first, don't be lazy!" At this time, Lao Cheng, who was struggling with the tent, couldn't help but yell at a few of them.
"Oh, here we are!" The yelled at immediately went to help with the work.
Fortunately, those wolves and lizards didn't have time to take care of them just now, so when Huang Tengxiao and a few people led the camels, they also took the opportunity to dismantle the tent and drag it over.
After transferring everything to this side, Ling Wenjiao borrowed night vision goggles from Huang Tengxiao, and stood on the edge of the climbing basin to observe the direction of the wolves from a distance.
The wolf howls heard from time to time reminded everyone that the battle of those wolves was not over.
Two hours later, it was finally quiet. I haven't seen any movement for a long time, and it's probably over.
Ling Wenjiao thought about it, she was a little concerned about the situation of those wolves and lizards, and after hearing a lot of movement, she turned her head and shouted at the camp: "I'll go see those wolves and four-legged snakes." โ
After saying that, she walked directly over there with her feet, anyway, it wasn't far, she didn't bother to go down and lead the horse up again.
Strode back to the place just now, standing on the ground and observing that there were no more golden jackals around, and there was no trace of those four-legged snakes.
She took a flashlight and looked around on the ground, and found that there were a lot of drags and wolf footprints on the ground, and there were still a lot of blood stains and bloody wolf hair everywhere.
Looking at the situation of this battle, it is a bit tragic.
Ling Wenjiao looked around to see if those guys were finished. She climbed up the hill and looked around with night vision goggles, and after carefully observing for a while, she didn't see anything to worry about, and then she climbed down the hill.
Then he glanced around some of the dead spots around him, and finally determined that all the camps on both sides had been withdrawn, and not even a single wounded person was left.
When she returned to the basin, Huang Tengxiao asked her, "How is it over there?"
Ling Wenjiao sat on the side and dragged her shoes into the sand, and replied while pouring: "Let's go." But I don't know how far I go, the wolves can't see it, but the lizards aren't sure. Who knows where these guys are in the sand now, and where they came from. โ
After pouring the sand from the two boots, Ling Wenjiao put them back on her feet.
"You stay behind tonight, Xiao Liang will go with us to search. Huang Tengxiao took a piece of scone and handed it to her.
Ling Wenjiao took it and nodded: "Okay." โ
Then Huang Tengxiao and Cansandy went out together, and Ling Wenjiao, Xiao Dong and Lao Cheng stayed in the camp to guard the camp.
After a night of quiet and nothing abnormal, Huang Tengxiao and the others came back when it was almost dawn, but their hands were still empty.
After dawn, everyone began to sleep and rest, got up at noon to eat and drink water and then continued to sleep.
In the evening, Cansandy stared at the sky and suddenly said, "The wind and sand are coming!"
Then he nervously turned to the crowd and said, "Hurry up, put the tent away, and drive the horses and camels under the sand dunes over there." โ
As soon as the guide translated his words, the group looked up at the clear sky, and although they were skeptical, they all did as Cansandy said.
After Ling Wenjiao heard him say that, she climbed above the basin and looked at the horizon in the distance. Sure enough, I saw that the horizon on the other side began to rise, and the rising horizon became more and more muddy and blurred.
After seeing this scene, Ling Wenjiao knew that Cansanti's nervousness was not unreasonable.
Although I look far away now, I can see the wind and sand from such a distance, and when I get close to it, I will know how terrible it is.
And the place where Cansandy drove the horses and camels was the leeward place, and the slopes of the basin could shelter the wind and sand.
Ling Wenjiao wrapped her face in a gauze scarf, and then wrapped her head and face in another layer with gauze.
Not only did she wrap it, but even other people took out hair cloths or gauze to wrap their faces, mainly to wrap their mouths and noses to prevent sand and dust from being inhaled.
The speed of the wind and sand is very fast, just now it was still the wind and sand on the far horizon, and now it has risen to half the sky.
Everyone watched as the dust rolled in as if driven by a demon, and they all fell to the leeward place.
Ling Wenjiao was lying on the edge of the basin, and suddenly saw a layer of something crumbling on the ground in front of the sandstorm.
"Wellโโโโ it seems that we are not the only ones who have been unlucky......" she said silently.
If she was not mistaken, it seemed to be the same pack of wolves she had just seen last night???
Monitor lizards are not afraid of sandstorms, but wolves don't have their ability to escape sandstorms.
