Chapter 378: Chance Encounter
"What's wrong?"
Niu Ping had his back to Fang Ming, so he didn't know what Fang Ming saw at this time.
"Grandpa Niu, there is someone in the distance."
Zhao Zhuzi followed Fang Ming's line of sight and looked forward, and immediately saw a few black spots in the distance, and at a glance, he knew that it was a person.
"Anyone?"
Niu Ping turned around and found that there were indeed a few black dots on the top of the sand dunes in the distance, slowly walking in his direction. The face was gloomy, it was not a common thing to meet people in a place like the desert, and usually nothing good happened to meet people.
For example, snatching food and water, because when you meet people in the desert, one or both parties often don't have enough water and food, and in order to survive, you have to grab things from the other person.
One party wants to rob the other party and does not want to be robbed, the conflict will definitely happen, after all, no one wants to die, and in the end, one side will definitely die.
It's still far away, and if you want to avoid the other party, you can do it, but Niu Ping only thought about it for a moment and said, "Let's go up and have a look, how about it?" ”
Such a thing must be dangerous, so Niu Ping asked Fang Ming and Zhao Zhuzi for their opinions.
"Hey! Then go up and take a look, I think the other party is very likely to come to the imperial tomb, why don't you go up and take a look? ”
"One? Root? Read? Novel xstxt ha! Grandpa Niu, go up and have a look! Although there are more people on the other side than us, when it comes to fighting, I have never been afraid of anyone since I was a child. ”
Zhao Zhuzi puffed out his arm, and the huge muscles that seemed to be iron bumps immediately "swelled", obviously telling Niu Ping with facts that he was not afraid of the other party.
"Well, okay, then let's see who the other person is."
Niu Ping nodded lightly, and didn't look at the direction of the sand at the moment, and walked directly to the other party.
Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, this sentence is also true in the desert, although it seems that the people in front of them are not too far away, and there are a few sand dunes between them, but they really walked for half a day before they were two or three hundred meters away from each other.
Fang Ming wiped the sweat welling up from his forehead, his eyes narrowed. There were five people on the other side, and each of them was carrying a big backpack, which must have been stuffed with things, and they were all strong men.
If this is not strange, then it is the other party who is strange
I must have seen my own people and understood that my people were going towards each other, but even so, they were still walking towards their own people, which can explain at least two problems: first, the other party is not afraid at all; Second, the other party also wants to see where these people come from.
No matter what the reason is, it shows that the other party is not easy to mess with.
The two sides got closer, what Fang Ming didn't expect was that the five people who came to him were all foreigners, although the other party was tightly wrapped, but when he looked at the skeleton and the exposed nose and eyes, he could immediately tell.
What's going on?
Foreigner!?
What are foreigners doing here?
Fang Ming's footsteps did not stop, but continued to walk towards each other, but whether it was Fang Ming, Niu Ping and Zhao Zhuzi, they didn't look strange at all on the surface, but in fact, their nerves had already collapsed, and it was not clear what kind of origin the other party was, so they must pay attention to the other party.
No one spoke, only the slight rustle of feet on the sand.
When they staggered, Fang Ming and the others didn't make a move, and the other party didn't make a move, they just staggered silently, the atmosphere was condensed and heavy to the freezing point, it was obvious that the other party was also watching out for Fang Ming and the others when they were on guard against each other.
The two groups of people staggered by, but they didn't say a word, as if they didn't see each other at all.
It was slowly getting dark, and the temperature in the desert dropped all of a sudden, Fang Ming and the others were quite lucky, and they found a big stone to shelter from the wind, so they immediately set up camp.
Unable to find any trees, Zhao Zhuzi could only nod the small gas stove he brought, and then put a small jar on top to boil water. Being able to drink hot water after a tiring day is a great treat in the desert.
"The other party is not an ordinary person."
Taking a sip of boiling hot water from a steel cup and throwing a piece of compressed biscuit into his mouth, Zhao Zhuzi said hummingly.
A scorpion didn't know if it saw the fire, or if it felt the heat from the stove, and hurried out in the darkness with its tail cocked.
A dagger somehow appeared in Fang Ming's hand, the "silk" stabbed towards the scorpion, directly cut off the end of the piece, reached out and took the "prey" in his hand, Fang Ming threw it directly into his mouth, and swallowed it without frowning after chewing it.
This move frightened Zhao Zhuzi into a daze.
"Isn't it? Is that okay too? ”
"Hahaha! What's not to do? This thing is actually very nutritious, if you look at the protein alone, its content is higher than the same volume of beef. ”
Glancing at the dry food in Zhao Zhuzi's hand, Fang Ming laughed and said, "You have dry food now, what if you don't have it?" I'll see if you eat it or not. ”
Zhao Zhuzi hesitated, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, I can only eat when I don't have to eat, but no matter what, I have to use fire to roast it." ”
"Roast? The water in its body is the most precious thing! ”
Niu Ping laughed and said, "Fang Ming is not wrong at all, that's right, don't be a scorpion in the desert, in order to survive, as long as you can eat it, you have to eat it!" Bugs or something, that's totally good. ”
Zhao Zhuzi frowned and shook his head, but nodded again and said, "Okay...... All right...... I remembered. ”
Fang Ming looked at Niu Ping, thought for a moment and said: "Elder Niu, what the pillar said just now is not wrong, it is true, those people are indeed not ordinary people, foreigners are already very suspicious, and they also have tools, I have seen them in Sun Ming and Sun Lao before, it is a portable drilling tool." ”
When Fang Ming staggered past the other party before, he found that two of the five people were carrying tools, although those tools had cloth covers, but because they were not too tightly wrapped, Fang Ming recognized them at a glance.
Niu Ping's brows furrowed, what Fang Ming found did prove that the other party was not an ordinary tourist, such as a "travel friend" who has been very common in recent years.
In other words, the other party may also have come to find the Imperial Tomb...... At least they came looking for something. ”
"Well, and the two people at the front of them are most likely from the military, and that murderous aura can't be concealed."
Fang Ming's words made Niu Ping's brows furrow even tighter, this was another not very good thing.
"The other side should have noticed the difference between us, so I think they must be on guard against us."
Fang Ming looked at Niu Ping, and suddenly said very seriously: "Old Niu, I have an idea. ”
"What's the idea?"
Niu Ping didn't understand what Fang Mingjian came up with. <
Is it too ...... It's a little stronger.
"Okay, your ability is good, I agree to this matter, but you must be careful, it is best to be able to figure out the other party's intentions, if not, then forget it, in short, safety first!"
"What's wrong?"
Niu Ping had his back to Fang Ming, so he didn't know what Fang Ming saw at this time.
"Grandpa Niu, there is someone in the distance."

Fang Ming looked at Niu Ping, and suddenly said very seriously: "Old Niu, I have an idea. ”
"What's the idea?"
Niu Ping didn't understand what Fang Mingjian came up with.
"I want to see what the hell the other party is all about."
"No way!"
Niu Ping didn't think about it, he immediately rejected Fang Ming's proposal, he knew that Fang Ming wanted to keep up with the other party and see what the other party was about, but this was too dangerous.
First, it's night, it's very dangerous in the desert at such a time, because the weather is hot during the day, the animals in the desert rarely come out, and at night it's different, after the temperature drops, many animals will come out, such as poisonous snakes, which are everywhere, and it's too dangerous to walk in such an environment.
Second, just as Fang Ming said just now, those people were not simple characters, it was definitely not so easy for Fang Ming to secretly figure out the origin of the other party, once he was discovered, he would most likely face the danger of his life.
As an old Jianghu, Niu Ping knows too well how dangerous this kind of thing is, so he definitely disagrees with such a thing.
Fang Ming naturally understood why Niu didn't agree to his proposal, but he had his own ideas.
"Although the environment in the desert is more treacherous, as long as you are careful, as for the other party's skills, I don't think it's a problem, Niu Lao, I used to have special training with the veterans in the village for many years when I was in the village, so I don't boast about it in terms of skills, it is definitely first-class, even if the other party is really a retired soldier, I am not afraid of ......"
"Ahh You...... Do?! ”
Zhao Zhuzi was listening attentively, but suddenly found that Fang Ming's hand was flipped, and the dagger he was holding in his hand flashed in the darkness, not knowing where to fly.
Fang Ming didn't say anything, he stood up and walked into the darkness, and after a while, he took the dagger back, but at this time, the dagger was not empty, but a snake was strung together!
"Isn't it? Is that okay too? ”
Zhao Zhuzi's eyes widened, and he almost fell out of his team's eyeballs! Dare to love Fang Ming's hand just now, after throwing the dagger out, he nailed a snake!
Although he is an old Jianghu, the well-informed Niu Ping can't help but shrink his pupils, Fang Ming is proving his ability to himself, but this hand is also too strong!
First of all, Fang Ming had to be able to hear the sound of the cobra passing by in the distance, and at the same time, he had to be able to hear the exact location, and then, his hand had to be accurate, so that he could throw the dagger out and nail the snake to know that it was not daytime, but night, Fang Ming could do this just by hearing, it was too ...... It's a little stronger.
"Okay, your ability is good, I agree to this matter, but you must be careful, it is best to be able to figure out the other party's intentions, if not, then forget it, in short, safety first!"
