……………………………………………………………………………………
After lunch, everyone rested for a while and continued west along the Gus River.
The Gus River is the most famous river in the Hunshandak Sands, with clear and sweet waters, beautiful scenery and stunning scenery.
Along the Gus River, everyone admired the fiery and beautiful red willows like maple leaves, the lush sand elm like pine and cypress, and the high and low shrubs that can be seen everywhere.
"Old Su, why haven't we seen the desert after walking for so long?" Lu Tian felt strange, isn't this place called Hunshandak Sand? It seems a bit misplaced.
"Hehe, there are not many pure deserts here, they are all in the northwest, some distance from us, these places we have walked through cannot be regarded as deserts, they should be half grassland and half desert, because the ground is still covered with a thin layer of soil, not yellow sand." Sukhbaru explained earnestly.
"By the way, we're going to enter the real Hunshandak Sands, there might be danger inside, so I've got two shotguns," said Sukhbaru, who took out two cloth-wrapped shotguns from his horse, and lifted them to reveal the long barrels;
"You're supposed to be able to use it, right?" As he spoke, Lao Su handed a shot to Lu Tian.
"What! Will there be danger inside? Lu Tian was surprised, he didn't expect to encounter any danger in this place where creatures are scarce, could it be quicksand, the dark river underneath......
"In the past, there were a lot of desert wolves living in it, but with the degradation of the grassland, the vegetation decreased, and their prey naturally decreased, and now it has been five or six years, and no one has ever seen wolves here, so I am actually just making preparations, and we will not encounter it in ten **];" Lao Su introduced to everyone in detail the dangers that may encounter you inside.
At the beginning, Lu Tian thought that the danger would be quicksand or something, but he didn't expect it to be wolves, hearing the news, a trace of worry or fear suddenly appeared on the faces of the two women, and even Qiqige, who was usually very grinning, was surprisingly silent at this time.
Because everyone knows how terrible wolves are, one or two wolves may be able to deal with them, but if they encounter a dozen or even dozens at once, everyone will be in danger, and they may become their food, and there will be no bones left.
"Hehe, it's actually not that dangerous, there are a lot of people who usually come here for adventure tours, but I haven't heard of anyone encountering wolves or other dangers, so you don't have to worry too much, I carry a shotgun just in case." Seeing that everyone was silent for a while, Sukhbaru knew what everyone was worried about, so he smiled and asked everyone to relax and not be affected by this.
Then everyone relaxed a little, and Kikige began to chirp about the scenery on the side of the road, apparently forgetting the danger of the wolves.
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly came from behind, Lu Tian turned his head and found that it was Sukhbaru who found the prey, since Lu Tian heard that there might be wolves in the sand, he immediately turned on the detection system, and the surrounding ten kilometers were all under Lu Tian's monitoring.
I saw a gray badger running quickly in the bushes, Sukhbaru's first shot did not hit, and suddenly Lu Tian was also interested, hugged Xiao Xue, rode his horse and galloped, and chased in the direction of the badger's escape, so the two rode one after the other and chased after the badger, as if they were competing to see who caught the prey first.
As Lao Su was closer to the badger, seeing that he raised his shotgun and was about to shoot again, Lu Tian made a decisive move, only to see a flash of silver light, 'Ga! A sharp and painful cry sounded from the badger's mouth, and suddenly the shotgun in Lao Su's hand froze, and he had to stop, because the badger had been cut through his throat by the dagger thrown by Lu Tian, and the blood flowed, and he was about to die.
Sukhbaru glanced at Lu Tian depressedly, and said viciously: "I said Lu Tian, you are too unkind, you are actually embarrassed to grab prey from me, and you have the ability to find it yourself." ”
"Wasn't I worried that you wouldn't miss, so I rushed over to help you?" Lu Tian smiled and said shamelessly.
"Who wants you to help, next time I will rob my prey, I will not be with you." Lao Su said threateningly, and then rode away like a badger on the ground.
"Ahh You're hunting prey again, it seems like you're still a badger, tsk, how can such a big one have more than a dozen pounds, right? Hee hee has oral again at night. The little girl was overjoyed when she saw this prey, although she also grew up in the grassland, but she didn't see people hunting many times with her own eyes, so this time she was excited to see the two of them shoot.
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone hurried back, and at this time everyone was fifty or sixty kilometers away from Wuzhitu, and should be able to return home before dark.
However, just when everyone had ridden more than ten kilometers, Lu Tian suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped, "God! How did it stop? Xiao Xue asked suspiciously.
"It seems that there is danger ahead," Lu Tian said with a solemn face.
"What? It's dangerous ahead," Xiao Xue said loudly in surprise.
"Danger ahead? Lu Tian, can you be sure that there is danger ahead, where is it? Sukhbaru looked ahead, obviously not believing Lu Tian's words, because there was nothing in front of him, and besides, Lu Tian had only entered the sand for the first time, and he himself had experienced it eight times out of ten.
"Well, my instincts have always been accurate, so let's take a detour and go back." Lu Tian suggested with a serious face, in fact, Lu Tian had already monitored the situation in the vicinity through the transformation instrument, just now, a group of more than twenty sand wolves suddenly appeared in front of him, and they were quickly galloping in the direction where the four people were, so Lu Tian couldn't help but be worried.
"What a detour, it's almost four o'clock now, and if you make a detour, you won't be able to go home before dark. Because the other roads are more difficult to walk, there are several small rivers in the middle, which is difficult to cross. Hearing Lu Tian's proposal to take a detour, Sukhbaru immediately said with an embarrassed face.
"No, no matter how difficult it is, we have to take a detour, otherwise we will be very dangerous" At this time, the wolves are getting closer and closer, and the distance between the two is less than seven kilometers, and it will be troublesome if you don't go,
If there was only Lu Tian alone, Lu Tian would be completely sure that he would kill them all, but now there are still three people to protect, just as Sukhbaru doesn't need it, then there are still two girls who need Lu Tian's protection, and he can't guarantee that under the siege of more than 20 wild wolves, he can 100% protect the two girls without any damage, so the only way is to avoid their edge and take a detour.
"Hurry up, if you don't go, it will be a big trouble" After speaking, Lu Tian took the lead in turning the direction and running to the southwest.
Seeing that Lu Tian insisted on his idea and had already rushed to the southwest, Lao Su and Qiqige could only follow them closely, although it was a little inexplicable, but they also had to do their duty as a host and bring their guests well.
The four of them ran wildly all the way, and there was finally no wolf pack in the transformation instrument, but Lu Tian did not stop because of this, but accelerated his speed, and only when he returned to the village could he be considered truly safe.
However, people are not as good as heaven, at this time everyone was blocked by a river, the water level of this river was not high before, but for some reason, today the river is rising sharply, and the horses under their feet can no longer swim across the river, either go upstream and downstream to find a shoal that can cross the river, or make a boat.
Lu Tian can make a boat to cross the river, but his secret will not be guaranteed, this one obviously will not work.
The second one doesn't seem to work, Lu Tian found through the transformation instrument that there is no suitable place to cross the river ten kilometers upstream and downstream, and the transformation instrument found that the group of wolves is closely following behind everyone, it seems that the four of them are their target, at this time the wolves are less than five kilometers away, and they are almost visible to the naked eye.
