Two days later.

Bour Oasis.

A team of 800 people appeared outside the oasis, this team was uniform, neat, and soaring into the sky like a sandstorm, coming quickly and stopping abruptly.

Sand wolf thieves, for the past two years, the murderous sand thieves who have made all the oases and caravans in the entire Haisha Desert feel terrified, fall into their hands, and death is the happiest thing.

Immorton Roberts, the leader of the Sand Wolf Bandits, is known internally as the Grand Commander.

Immorton was a giant man of two and a half meters tall, with a swarthy bald head and shaved eyebrows as if his entire head could be reflected.

"Commander, no one was found!" A skinny sand wolf thief came to Immorton's side and whispered.

"Huh?" Immorton's icy gaze swept over the subordinate.

"There are traces in the northwest direction, and according to the traces, the other party should have walked last night, and it should be five hours away from us!" The sand wolf thief hurriedly replied.

"How's it going in the Oasis?" Immorton asked again.

"The bodies of the brothers were found, all of them were strung on wooden poles, I counted them, all of them were destroyed, the corpses seemed to have been treated with corrosive drugs, and it was impossible to find out the cause of death, and the corpses were so poisonous that they didn't even dare to eat the dead birds!" The skinny sand wolf thief replied.

"Humph!" Immorton's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Sam is Immorton's most trusted subordinate and right-hand man. Because this time the task was important, so Immorton sent Sam, but he didn't expect Sam's hundred-man team to go back, Immorton immediately knew that something was wrong, and brought people to the Boer Oasis, but what was waiting for him was such news.

"Search the entire oasis, I want to know all the circumstances!" Immorton said in a deep voice: "Gerbil, take someone to search all the surrounding ten miles for me, Sha Yan, go check the water source of the oasis!" ”

"Yes!" The two sand wolf thieves with gray seals on their arms answered, and went down with their men.

They are the same as Sam, the captain of a team of hundreds. All of them have pseudonyms, just like Sam, who goes by the pseudonym Sand Scorpion, because he has Henry, a subordinate who can control Sand Scorpion.

In the sand wolf thief, only the captain can have a pseudonym, and everyone else is a code name.

The gerbil led his men to search around, and his men were all good at tracking and searching, as long as they were dispatched, they would definitely be able to find clues, but this clue was also limited, and everyone knew that it was unrealistic to leave any long-term clues in the desert.

Sha Yan is the head of logistics, and his subordinates are responsible for all kinds of logistics of the entire Sand Wolf Thieves, including food, drinking water, medical care, weapon building and maintenance, mount breeding, and so on. Sha Yan himself is a doctor and has a deep study of poison, so he is relieved that he will go out to check the water source.

The others split into three teams and searched the oasis.

Half an hour later.

Sha Yan came back first: "Report to the commander, I have already checked the water source, and the other party has put a high poison in the water source, which is a mixture of various poisons, and it cannot be directly detoxified." Unless all the water in the pool is replaced, the toxin will not be completely eliminated within five years. ”

The water in the desert oases comes from underground. After the waterhole on the ground is poisoned, if you want to slowly replace and detoxify it by groundwater, it is definitely in years. But to replace the water in the waterhole entirely, not to mention how large the amount of work is, only to say that after the water in the waterhole is completely replaced, the impact on the groundwater may cause this oasis to be invalid, the Boer Oasis is not a big oasis, but a very small oasis, such an oasis its underground water source itself is unstable, once the surface water has a large fluctuation, it is very likely that even the underground water source will be abolished.

Basically, the Bour Oasis is a waste.

Sha Yan paused for a moment, and waited until Immorton digested the previous content before he said, "All the supplies in the oasis have been taken away, and everything that cannot be taken away has been destroyed. The other party wants to consume us in this way! ”

In the desert, the bigger the team, the more supplies are needed, and the more bloated the team becomes. Therefore, everyone knows that if there are few people in the desert, it will be easy to encounter sand pirates, but no one dares to send a large army of more than 1,000 people casually, in that case, it will be too difficult to supply.

The sand wolf thieves came out of the nest this time, carrying with them all the supplies in their lair. If they can't find the Shangxiang caravan in a short time, they will be in trouble themselves.

Immorton didn't speak, just his gaze grew colder.

Sha Yan also stopped talking and quietly stepped aside. He knew he only had to report the news and the rest would be Immorton's.

After another half an hour, the troops searching for the oasis returned, and it was the clean sand wolf thief who replied, his alias was Sand Snake.

The Sand Snake reported in a low, dry voice: "Commander, no secret passages or cellars have been found in the oasis, and according to the traces we have found in the northwest, the number of people who have left the oasis is nearly three hundred. According to the last news of the sand scorpion, it should be that all the caravans left with the original inhabitants of the oasis! ”

Immorton still didn't speak, and the sand snake stepped aside honestly.

Finally, the gerbil returned.

"Commander. There was no suspicious sign for fifty miles around. According to the traces in the northwest, I have asked people to go and see them, at first there were about 300 people in the first mile, and the number of people in the back is constantly decreasing, and at the same time the traces are divided into two parts each time. Some were left behind, and the other was erased. The other party should be trying to use a suspicious tactic. According to observations, the part that has kept traces has traces of non-sand scorpion mounts, and according to the last intelligence of the sand scorpion, it should be the traces of the bear beast in the opposing team! ”

"In addition, based on the traces of battle left in the oasis, it can be judged that there are strong archers in the caravan, and there are several traces that are obviously caused by the use of more than fifteen stone strong bows, and in addition, this was found in an underground near the stone castle!" The gerbil said as he sent a fragment to Immorton.

Then he continued: "This is tungsten steel, and according to the shape, it should be an arrow shaft. This indicates that the opponent is using arrows made of all-tungsten steel. In this way, it can be proved that the other party has a strong bow of more than fifteen stones, and I think it should be a sniper! ”

An archer who is not a sniper will not use a strongbow of more than fifteen stones, because there is no need for that.

"A sniper? It's kind of interesting! Immorton pondered for a moment with a calm face: "Gerbil, what do you think the traces left by the other party all along?" ”

"Back to the commander, I think the other side should find out that our target is Edward, the leader of the caravan, so they plan to divide their forces. But after dividing the troops, they were afraid that we would kill all the remaining people, so they used a gradual division strategy. Break up the team and venture into the unknown, either waiting for help, meeting somewhere and then rerouting to Anduma, or back to the Green Oasis. And the trace left behind should be Edward's own! "A gerbil is not only a good scout, but also a very intelligent person.

"Oh? Why do you think that trace is Edward's? Immorton asked.

"Because he had to!" The gerbil said in a deep voice: "The other party is a caravan, not an army. If Edward wants to act separately from others, he must explain why, and once he explains why, he can no longer let others be used as bait. What's more, Edward didn't have much time, he had to get to Anduma within the allotted time, otherwise it would be useless, and if he was in the rest of the team, it would probably not be in time! ”

Immorton thought the same thing in his heart, and asking the gerbil was just to confirm it. After all, gerbils are experts in this area.

"Interesting, do they want to sacrifice themselves? Hmph, gerbil, you divide ten people, let the sand snake, the sand cow take them, chase and kill the other people on the tracks, whether they succeed or not, and return to Storm Sand City after three days. Come with me, let's meet this Edward!" ”

"Yes!" The sand wolf thieves responded in unison.

A moment later, the sand wolf thieves of more than 800 people divided into three teams, one large, two and small, scattered in pursuit in multiple directions.

At the same time, seventy miles from the Oasis of Bour.

A team is running fast.

The team consisted of fifteen sand scorpions and one panda. There were only six people in the crew, and all the sand scorpions were lightly armed, bringing nothing but food and water. The panda's whole body is earthy yellow, and its face is covered with a thick cloth.

Tang Dou sat on five sand scorpions and galloped all the way.

"Brother Di, we've been in a hurry for half a night, it's been a morning, and it's almost noon, we must rest, otherwise people can't stand it, and the sand scorpion can't stand it either!" Donald approached Tang Dou with his sand scorpion and said loudly.

Tang Dou's lips were also chapped at this time, he thought for a while, and nodded: "Okay!" ”

The team finally found a place under a sand dune and stopped.

Tang Dou finally took out the treasure tent he bought at the Constantine Chamber of Commerce, first dug a pit more than one meter deep and more than three meters wide at the bottom of the dune, and then put the tent in. The tent looked like a six-person tent from the outside, round, with a diameter of about three meters, and after it was placed, Tang Dou deliberately piled some sand on top of the tent before beckoning people in.

Of course, Po has to go in with him, and if he continues to dry it, he will become a dead panda. But those sand scorpions didn't care, after receiving the order, they went straight into the sand, not afraid of the sun at all.

Entering the tent, Edward sighed: "It turned out to be a space compression tent, this should be the largest model, I've only heard of it, I really haven't seen it!" ”

"With this, our safety is guaranteed again!" Donald was also relieved.

Tang Dou walked to the pillar in the middle of the tent, stuffed a few energy stones, and turned on the tent's invisible function: "Guarantee? If the sand wolf can be deceived by this tent alone, then they are too vegetable. Those sand wolf thieves are not simple at all, and underestimating them is a dead end. This tent is just to keep us from the sun. If the sand wolf thieves get in, they will definitely find us! ”

Edward and Donald also felt justified when they heard this, and let out a long sigh.

"How far is the next oasis from us?" Tang Dou took out the map and asked. (To be continued.) )
