Chapter 1556: Black Sandstorm Strikes 2
Chapter 1556 Black Sandstorm Strikes 2
While setting up the tent quickly, Chen Jiahao took the time to ask the woman next to him: "My name is Chen Jiahao, what about you?" ”
The woman hesitated for a moment and replied honestly, "Call me Mu Lan." ”
"Mullan, what a name!" Chen Jiahao didn't seem to notice Mu Lan's refusal, and still tried to catch up with a smile.
However, Mu Lan is still very wary of Chen Jiahao, no matter how Chen Jiahao tries to talk, Mu Lan just responds with uh-huh, and doesn't care much about Chen Jiahao at all.
Chen Jiahao was a little unhappy in his heart, although this Mu Lan looked pretty good, but when was it, the black sandstorm was coming soon, could it be that she still thought she was soaking her? Princess Youxiang hasn't been pushed down yet, how can Chen Jiahao fight the idea of this woman she met for the first time?
The reason why Chen Jiahao tried to talk so "brazenly" was because he thought that he had just come to this world, but his luck was extremely bad, and he fell into the Qilin Desert, not to mention, and encountered a black sandstorm, Chen Jiahao had no choice but to try to get something out of this woman's mouth to see if it could help the current situation.
Under Chen Jiahao's unremitting efforts, Mu Lan's attitude finally loosened a little, revealing some less important things to Chen Jiahao.
It turned out that Mu Lan was the leader of a caravan in a trading city on the edge of the Qilin Desert, and this time she joined forces with several other caravans to form a large caravan to try to cross the Qilin Desert, but unfortunately she was unlucky to encounter sand pirates.
It's just that for these sand thieves, Mu Lan obviously has his own considerations: "This is the center of the Qilin Desert, generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for sand thieves to come here to rob, after all, the Qilin Desert is too dangerous, even if it is a sand thief who is familiar with the terrain, it is difficult to find a target in the vast desert, plus the danger in the desert, it is definitely more dangerous than beneficial to come here to rob." ”
Chen Jiahao asked curiously, "So do you think their target is not the goods in your caravan?" ”
"I'm not sure about that." Mu Lan hesitated and said, "But if their target is not caravan cargo, I really can't figure out what they want." ”
Chen Jiahao shrugged his shoulders, he was not interested in the real targets of those sand thieves at all, he came to the Xuanwu Continent to look for artifacts, but he didn't want to get involved in inexplicable incidents, as long as he could block the black sandstorm this time, and then escape from the Qilin Desert, even if he was temporarily out of danger.
In order to resist the black sandstorm, Chen Jiahao did not set up a tent as usual, but set up the tent only two meters high, so as to reduce the wind blowing on the tent.
Pulling the four-peaked camel into the tent, the tent was immediately overcrowded, but at this time the four of them couldn't take care of too much, and they were crowded in the tent with the camel.
Fortunately, because the height of the tent was not high enough, the camel could only kneel on the sand with four hooves after entering, and could not move lightly, otherwise the sandstorm would have to be a mess in the tent.
Chen Jiahao asked the four people to guard the four corners of the tent separately, and when the black sandstorm hit, they had to press the lower edge of the tent to death, otherwise if they let the strong wind hang into the tent from below, they could roll the tent into the sky in an instant.
When the four of them were ready, the strange sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves outside the tent suddenly stopped, and for a moment there was silence between heaven and earth, without the slightest sound.
The four people in the tent couldn't help but hold their breath at this time, because they knew very well that this was just the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, it was only a few breaths of effort, and a violent hurricane with a piercing whistling sound suddenly struck and blew hard through the tent.
Chen Jiahao couldn't help but roar: "It's all ready, the black sandstorm is coming!" ”
In fact, there is no need for Chen Jiahao to shout, the three girls have all used their strength to eat milk, and they are holding on to the tent to death, if the tent is blown away at this time, they will all die without a place to be buried!
For a moment, Chen Jiahao only felt as if the sky was shaking, and this tent was like a small flat boat in the raging sea, constantly shaking in the storm, and it was in danger of being destroyed at any time.
The four-peaked camels did not have the initial restlessness at this time, they all knelt on the ground honestly, their heads almost into the sand, and they did not dare to move, and they clearly looked like they were waiting for death.
The wind of this black sandstorm was extremely strong, and Chen Jiahao felt that the tent in his hand seemed to turn into a violent tiger in an instant, desperately trying to break free from his hands, and Chen Jiahao could only use the strength of his whole body to hold on to it tightly.
It was only ten minutes of hard work, and Chen Jiahao felt that a fine and dense bead of sweat had appeared on his forehead, and his arms were so soft that he almost didn't feel it in ten fingers.
It's only been ten minutes, and even Chen Jiahao is already tired like this, but it is conceivable that the third daughter is even more exhausted.
"If the black sandstorm continues to blow like this, it will be very bad!" Chen Jiahao turned his head and glanced at the three daughters, Princess Youxiang and Lu Xiaoyi were barely able to support it, after all, they were also cultivators, although they couldn't use the aura of heaven and earth in this hellish Qilin Desert, their bodies were still much stronger than ordinary people.
But Mu Lan's condition was obviously not good, she was trembling all over, and the thin clothes on her upper body were almost soaked with sweat.
As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, when Chen Jiahao was trying to figure out what to do next, he suddenly didn't know what to do on the tent fiercely, and the whole tent shook violently, and the four of them did not get out of the way.
"What's going on?" Chen Jiahao roared in a low voice.
Mu Lan breathed violently and replied, "It's a stone, a stone from the black sandstorm!" Now is the most dangerous time, and we have to get through it no matter what! ”
If the wind is strong enough, the stones can naturally be rolled up, those terrifying tornadoes can easily roll the whole house into the sky, the wind of the black sandstorm may not be able to catch up with the tornado, but there is naturally no problem in blowing the stones, at first it was only a fist-sized stone that had smashed the tent to shake, if the stone was a little bigger......
Chen Jiahao's heart continued to sink, he already felt that the impact of the stones smashed on the tent was getting stronger and stronger, obviously the stones were getting bigger and bigger, if there were half-human stones, I am afraid that everyone would not have to resist at all, and they would be smashed into flesh by the boulders together with the tent!
