Everyone was frightened by this sandstorm, and when they heard Ding Lingling's loud warning, they all sat up straight nervously.

Poplar subconsciously immediately turned on the flashlight and projected the light at the top to see if the beams at the top were about to collapse.

Before he could see clearly, the golden-eyed condor suddenly chirped, flew up from the aspen, fluttered its wings and pounced on Max.

Max jumped to his feet in fright and shouted in English, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

The light of the two flashlights of Bai Yang and Ding Lingling was all projected to the corner where the Golden Pupil Condor flew over, and suddenly found that there were two huge reptiles in the corner, crawling and dodging under the attack of the Golden Pupil Condor's claws and beaks.

The mighty magic of the Golden Pupil Condor is by no means under the iron-beaked phoenix, but the iron-beaked phoenix is naturally the natural enemy of Gu insects, so it can be said that it is as fast as lightning to peck at the insects.

But the Golden Pupil Condor should have no problem dealing with large beasts of prey and birds of prey, pecking at this small reptile is not so precise and sharp.

However, its two claws are far sharper and sharper than the iron-billed phoenix, and before the two reptiles hid in the crack of the wall, its two claws grabbed two in a row, directly scratching the bodies of the two reptiles.

Chen Dalin walked over first, glanced at the two reptiles, couldn't help but change color on his face, and said: "This is a desert scorpion, its poison is extremely violent, anyone who is stung by it will not live for three hours!"

Everyone was taken aback by saying this.

Ding Lingling blurted out: "I've seen desert scorpions before, but they are far less big than these two!"

"Yes!" Chen Dalin nodded, "The average desert scorpion is about the same size as Little Finger, but these two are three inches long, and this is the first time I've seen such a big desert scorpion!"

"Then these white bones, could they have been bitten to death by desert scorpions?" asked Hongxing in surprise.

"Definitely not!" Iron Bull immediately said, "These white bones have been dead for at least a few hundred years, how could these two desert scorpions live so long!"

"I mean...... What if the desert scorpion's nest is near here, or even in this house?

When several people heard her reasoning, they were so frightened that they all jumped up, and no longer dared to stand and sit against the corner.

Because Max couldn't understand Chinese, he kept looking at the others in a daze.

It wasn't until everyone else was standing far away from the corner that he couldn't help but ask Chu Changjiang what everyone was talking about.

As soon as Chu Changjiang translated with him, Max was even more frightened, and shouted: "You mean, if it wasn't for those two little birds calling the police, I would have been bitten to death by these two reptiles?"

He had just sat on the edge when the desert scorpion appeared beside him. But the others didn't understand English, so they could only look at him inexplicably.

Chu Changjiang translated for Max, and Bai Yang nodded first, glanced at the two jade hummingbirds that had already hid in Ding Lingling's arms, and said, "Yes, we should thank Xiao Lu Xiaocui!"

"You don't need to thank you, you just need to let the Golden Pupil Condor understand that Xiao Lu Xiaocui is a friend and not an enemy, and tell it not to scare Xiao Lu Xiaocui!" Ding Lingling said.

Xiaolu Xiaocui has a lively nature, and usually always flies around a few people.

But today, there is a golden pupil eagle, but the two birds have been hiding in Ding Lingling's arms and dare not show their heads.

So although Ding Lingling's words are a joke, they are also a warning.

Bai Yang was actually very worried that if the Golden Pupil Condor preyed on the two jade hummingbirds, he would not be able to explain to Ding Lingling.

Hurriedly picked up the Golden Pupil Divine Eagle, looked at the golden eyes of the Golden Pupil Condor seriously, and said, "Divine Condor, listen well, those two jade hummingbirds ......"

When he said this, he pointed to Ding Lingling and continued: "Like you, you are also our good friends, so you have to take care of them in the future, and you can't scare them, let alone prey on them!"

It was like he was teaching a teenager, and it made everyone else laugh.

The Golden Pupil Condor didn't know if he understood Bai Yang's words, so he turned his head and glanced at Ding Lingling, followed by two chirps.

Hongxing smiled and said, "This eagle seems to be like the iron-billed phoenix, and it can understand human speech!"

"Yes, yes, Lao Bai, you really found a treasure!" said Tie Niu.

Poplar raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then reached out to stroke the little head of the Golden Pupil Divine Eagle.

After such a break, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Chen Xiaopang squatted down to inspect the skeletons on the ground, and said: "It is impossible for these white bones to have been dead for hundreds of years, otherwise even if they are not all bought into the yellow sand, it is impossible to float on the sand like now! And the degree of decay of the bones is not very strong, according to me, they will be dead for a maximum of fifty years!"

"If they've only been dead for fifty years, then their clothes shouldn't all be rotten, right? But what about their clothes? Why don't there be even a strip of cloth on these skeletons?" argued Iron Bull.

What he said was not unreasonable, and even Chen Xiaopang was difficult to explain for a while.

Ding Lingling also squatted down, carefully examined a few pairs of white bones, and said, "I agree with Brother Chubby's judgment, the death time of these white bones will not exceed fifty years!"

"Could it be that not long after they died, someone else also hid here because of the big sandstorm, and saw that they were wearing very good clothes, so they ......"

Poplar tried to explain, but he didn't feel reasonable, so he closed his mouth before he finished speaking.

Chen Xiaopang said angrily: "The clothes on the dead are unlucky, and people all over the world should believe in this! Besides, even if someone is very greedy and strips off the good clothes on the dead man, he won't even be greedy for underwear, right? But on these skeletons, there is not even a trace of it!"

"Yes, Fat Brother is right, I thought it was too simple!" Poplar nodded immediately.

Iron Bull wanted to relieve the siege of Poplar, and then said: "Could it be that some wild beast or something came in and gnawed the flesh off the corpse and dragged the clothes away?"

"It shouldn't be possible!" Ding Lingling spoke again, "If they had been eaten by wild beasts, even if these skeletons were not scattered all over the ground, they would not be so neat!"

The more people argued, the more they felt that they couldn't explain it, and naturally they all cast their eyes on Chen Dalin.

"Don't look at me, I can't figure it out!" Chen Dalin immediately shook his head.

Chu Changjiang suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Maybe it's ...... Desert Savages!"

"Desert savage, what is that?" Ding Lingling and Hong Xing said in unison.

Chu Changjiang didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Chen Dalin.

Chen Dalin pondered for a moment, and said: "I have also heard the legend of the desert savage, it is said that the ancient ancestors in the desert lost their homes due to natural and man-made disasters, and gradually became like beasts in order to survive. They dig sand holes and eat human flesh, just like wild beasts! But that's just a legend, at least I've been in and out of the desert many times, and I've never encountered one!"

"That's not a legend!" Chu Changjiang quickly shook his head, "My dad also entered this desert back then, trying to find the Black Desert Celestial Elephant Country, but he gave up halfway and almost lost his life, the main reason is because they met the desert savages!"

He had a serious expression and a heavy tone. Several people looked at each other in shock.

Hongxing blurted out, "But...... Just now, Old Man Chen said that desert savages are completely like wild beasts, and they will dig sand holes and eat human flesh, so these white bones...... Why is it so neat? Is it ......? They eat people so quietly, and they don't damage people's bone structure at all?"

"Desert savages do eat human flesh, my dad saw it with his own eyes back then!" Chu Changjiang replied with a sigh, "At that time, my dad hid in an ancient city wall and buried himself in the sand, so he barely escaped, but ...... Two of his companions were killed by a few desert savages, only to be eaten by the desert savages! In the decades that followed, my dad would often wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares, and he always said that he dreamed of desert savages eating his companions!"

Chu Changjiang's words made everyone shudder.

Especially the howling of the wind outside, it makes people involuntarily imagine the bloody scene of people eating people.

Chu Changjiang coughed and stretched out his hand to point at the white bones on the ground.

"As for why these white bones on the ground are kept so neat, according to my estimate, when the desert wildlings found these dead people, the dead people's bodies were already decomposing, so the desert wildlings let their corpses go and didn't move, just stripped them of their clothes!"

"Since the desert savages are exactly like the beasts, they ...... Can you still know how to put on clothes?" asked Hongxing.

"Yes, this is the only place where they still look like humans!" Chu Changjiang nodded, "My dad said that after his companion was killed by the desert wildling, the desert wildman first stripped off the clothes of his two companions and put them on himself!"

Hong Xing couldn't help but shrink her body, and the rest of the people also fell silent.

As the leader of the group, Bai Yang had to break this terrifying atmosphere and said: "Fortunately, the number of desert savages is very small, and Old Man Chen has been in and out of the desert many times, and he has never encountered a desert savage, so it is even more unlikely that we will meet them! What we should be most worried about now is this desert scorpion! In case, as Hong Xing said, the nest of the desert scorpion is in this house, it will be very bad! So let's look for it, otherwise we won't even dare to sit down!"

Several people all nodded in agreement.

Only Chen Xiaopang said: "But we only have two flashlights in our hands, or I will go out to see if the wind is a little lighter, at least I can untie the backpacks on the camels on both sides of the hole!"

"Why don't I go out and have a look!" Chen Dalin said, "We just ran for our lives, and we didn't have time to check whether the luggage on the camel's body was tied strongly!

"But the wind is still strong at this time! The old man is too old, and if he wants to go out to see, we young people will go out!" said Tie Niu.
