There were a few tired and surprised voices in the darkness, they didn't have any lights, they should have seen the light in the place where Lu Ming and the four of them were resting, and they came over in the night.
Hearing the voices of those people slowly approaching, the voices were all hoarse, Lu Ming couldn't tell if they had malicious intentions, for the sake of caution, let Huang Ling'er go back and be careful with Yan Lin Chuqing, and he took advantage of the darkness to quietly approach the past to see what was going on.
A moment later, Lu Ming had already arrived not far from the group, the moonlight was bleak, and he could only see the general shadow clearly, there were three people in total, all of them were frivolous, their bodies were swaying, and they walked on the rugged rocky hills as if they might fall at any time, it seemed that they were the result of hunger and excessive dehydration.
"Seventh brother, I finally met the others!"
There was excitement and joy in the voice of one of them, and he held a man with a long figure but seemed to be not lightly injured, and said in a hoarse voice: "We finally don't have to die of thirst in this place!" ”
Hearing this person's voice, Lu Ming came out of the darkness and looked at the three of them with a slight frown: "Why is it only the three of you, have you encountered anything?" ”
Walking towards Lu Ming's resting place were Ma Dai, Lin Qi, and the fat and honest Zhu Da'er.
The three of them looked very embarrassed, especially Lin Qi, one arm was dripping with blood. The bullet pierced his wrist and wounded his bones. It was only tightly wrapped with a shirt rag, and it was not washed, and the wound became infected and suppurated, emitting an unpleasant stench, and the injury was already extremely serious. If you don't clean it up and bandage it well, I'm afraid that one arm will be scrapped.
In addition, there was a strange and terrifying, almost fatal wound on the left side of the waist, the wound was more than half a foot long, the skin and flesh were rolled and intertwined, and the wound was twisted. Like a jagged. It's like a huge mouth with a big gap. The black dust and blood plasma and fragments of clothing were tangled and glued, and it looked terrifying.
Excessive blood loss, coupled with severe dehydration, made his face a little pale and puffy. Chapped lips. Every step of the way. It was all a groan of pain. If it weren't for Ma Dai supporting him, he wouldn't be able to support his body at all.
Zhu Da'er is obese, but see him at this time. But he obviously felt that he had lost a lot of weight, the clothes on his body were torn in many places, revealing the fat flesh, and there was also a strange and terrible wound on the thigh, as if it was injured by jagged teeth, twisted and twisted, deep to the bone, and extended to his fat buttocks, making Zhu Da'er's fat buttocks almost form three petals, which looked extremely ridiculous.
Ma Dai's condition was slightly better, there were no injuries, but his face was equally haggard, his clothes were torn everywhere, his exposed skin had several abrasions, and his lips were chapped and pale.
Suddenly saw a shadow silently appear beside him from the darkness, the embarrassed Ma Dai and the three were startled, and when they saw clearly that it was Lu Ming, Ma Dai immediately shouted in surprise, and said with great joy: "I actually met an acquaintance!" Damn, it's really an acquaintance! ”
He was so excited that he couldn't control himself, almost running, walked in front of Lu Ming in two or three steps, and said in a hoarse and harsh voice in his throat: "Lu Ming, you are our living person!" ”
Knock knock!
Ma Dai and the three of them were like wild bulls, and they poured down more than half of the pot of drinking water in a few sips, the sound of cooing was like muffled thunder, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down rapidly, desperately pouring cool drinking water into their stomachs, moistening their dry throats. That impatient look, I'm afraid that if you give them a large vat of water now, they will be able to drink it all.
But they are also people who have ventured a lot of time in the wilderness, and as long as they drink water in such a place, they have poured a few large mouthfuls of water, and their fire-like throats are much better, and they have reluctantly removed the kettle from their mouths with great will. You must know that the resources that Lu Ming carries are also limited, and being able to give each of them a pot of drinking water is already the maximum limit.
Carefully tightening the lid of the kettle, Ma Dai licked his chapped lips, and then looked at Lu Ming to answer his doubts: "Our own people have done a good thing." He sighed and said angrily: "We arrived here three days before you, and the majestic and huge mountain in front of us is the entrance to the Dragon Tomb. ”
Lu Ming nodded, it is normal for people to be able to reach their destination after a lot of hardship, and everyone will be excited.
"Yes, we can hardly believe that we really arrived in front of the Dragon's Tomb like this!" Ma Dai said a few words, and was about to moisten his dry lips with the tip of his tongue, as if he wanted to swallow any bit of water into his abdomen, and his voice was still extremely hoarse, "We are so excited that it is difficult to stop, you know, it is already a great luck to be able to get here alive, not to mention that there is the legendary Dragon Tomb ahead!" ”
"Treasures, gold, silver, and jewelry, and endless wealth await inside, and everyone wants to get to the bottom of that mountain sooner, a little earlier!" Ma Dai kicked a breath, coughed heavily, and spit a mouthful of dusty thick saliva aside, it seemed that he felt a lot better, they had eaten a lot of dust these days.
"However, we soon found out that the dragon tomb was already close at hand, but this barren hill was actually so vast and huge that it was as terrible as a desert! A terrible desert indeed! That mountain is a mirage, and I don't know how far away we are! ”
"Mirage?" Huang Ling'er, who had not spoken on the side and was not very enthusiastic about the appearance of Ma Dai and the others, couldn't help frowning when she heard this, "You said that the mountain peak we saw was just an illusion?" ”
"Yes! You should be able to notice the heat here when you're on your way during the day, almost indistinguishable from the desert, so it's not surprising that a mirage occurs. The Dragon's Tomb may be in the middle of this wide black hill, but it is still a long, far away. ”
Huang Ling'er's pretty face flashed a touch of disappointment, and she glanced at the depths of the night, as if she was a little reluctant to believe it, and fell silent and stopped talking.
Yan Lin, Chu Qing, and Lu Ming also had somewhat helpless expressions on their faces.
"We all wanted to get to the foot of that mountain as quickly as possible, and we hurried all night, and in the second half of the night, we were so tired that we had to stop and rest, but we didn't want to encounter a sudden black storm the next day."
Ma Dai sat on a stone whose temperature had completely dropped and was a little cold at night, reached out and grabbed a small black pebble at his feet, put it in the palm of his hand, played with it with a wry smile, and continued: "That's it, the black storm suddenly came, and we fell into darkness all of a sudden, the wind was blowing, countless black stones, and dust rolled up from the ground crazily, just like the end of the world in the movie. ”
He smiled bitterly and waved the black pebble in his hand away, and the black pebble fell to the top of the small hill not far away, with a muffled bang, rolled a few times, and then fell silent.
Ma Dai faintly said with a fear: "Lu Ming, it's the first time I've seen such a terrifying storm, there are fist-sized black stones flying around everywhere, and if you touch your body casually, you can make us scream again and again, and the pain is terrible." We could only hide behind a small hill and resign ourselves to fate, but fortunately, the huge black whirlpool did not roll towards us, and we survived, but unfortunately, most of the food and so on we carried were swept away by the black storm. ”
Lu Ming shook his head slightly, since this black and monotonous hill is like a desert, the materials carried are lost, and there will inevitably be huge trouble.
Sure enough, Ma Dai's expression became a little gloomy, and he said angrily: "Most of the materials have been lost, and all of us know that the situation is not good, and how to distribute the remaining survival materials has immediately become the most important thing." However, we still didn't expect that Tan Zhi's bastards would do it so quickly! They were all familiar friends, but they killed seven or eight people in one go without the slightest defense! ”
"!" Lin Qi, who was silent on the side, his face was pale, and his body was weak, and he suddenly snorted heavily at this time, a cold gaze appeared in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I will never let them go!" ”
Ma Dai gritted his teeth, and said with the same anger, anger and worry: "It's the first time I've wanted to kill someone so much!" Fuck, Tan Zhi, that bastard! Hey, I just don't know how Miss Dong and Sister-in-law Koizumi are doing now, scattered in such a storm, I really don't know if I can find them again. ”
Huang Ling'er felt a slight sense of familiarity, thought about it, and finally remembered Tan Zhi, and couldn't help but sneer and glanced at Ma Dai and Lin Qi, and said sarcastically: "Aren't they your good brothers?" Giggles, good brothers, they're just stabbing each other. I must regret that I didn't poison him with a centipede, I can see that he is not a good person. ”
Huang Ling'er's mouth really likes to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, Lu Ming couldn't help but quietly touch her, asking her not to reveal people's scars like this. Speaking of which, it was Lu Ming who saved Tan Zhi at that time.
"Your wounds were wounded in the midst of civil strife?"
Lu Ming glanced at the strange and terrifying wound on Lin Qi's abdomen and asked out loud.
"It's not!"
Lin Qi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth and pulled away the clothes on his abdomen, so that the strange and terrifying wound was delicately displayed under the moonlight, so that Lu Ming could see it more clearly, and then he said with a serious expression: "It is a terrifying creature in this black hill." ”
As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily looked at the black rock under his feet.
Ma Dai seemed to have palpitations, and without waiting for Lu Ming to ask, he said with some fear: "That's it, these black rocks!" They're horrible killers! ”
