The scorching sun was scorching, like a fire in the Great Gobi, the camel bells jingled, and a team of about 20 camels came from a distance. It was Tao Qi, Cheng Muran, and Liu Biao who were slowly hurrying to deliver goods to Shura City. According to Cheng Muran, their oasis mine is not close to Shura City, and if they are lucky, they will have to walk for at least four whole days if they don't encounter any situation along the way, and if they encounter a sandstorm, they may have to delay their trip, and sometimes even waste the first half of the month on the way back and forth.

The route taken by the camel team is the best route that Cheng Muran and Liu Biao have escorted many times and summed up on the basis of their predecessors. This route is not the shortest, but it can avoid several extremely difficult desert creatures, making it much less dangerous. Occasionally, there are a few small insect swarms and beast groups, and they don't need to fight, as long as they keep a distance from them, most of them can go by the wrong way, just because these small insect swarms and beast groups are generally not strong, or they are gentle creatures, so they don't take the initiative to attack the camel team, which makes Tao Qi's heart that has been carried a lot of relief.

"Brother Cheng, how many merits do you say we can gain from this escort?" When Tao Qi had nothing to do, he chatted with Cheng Muran as he walked. This will not only relieve the boredom of the journey, but also make the scorching heat of the desert less difficult.

"Hehe, boy, why haven't you completed the task yet, and you're thinking about sharing merits?" Liu Biao smiled on the side, "No matter how much, there is always your share." To be honest, if I were in charge, I wouldn't give you the opportunity to be escorted, because there would be one more person to share the spoils. ”

"I can't say that! Ah Biao, you have to know. This escort is dangerous. When did our brothers not be bloodthirsty. Pin your head to the waistband of your trousers to fend off those threats on the way? Although one more escort will give you one more person to share the merits, don't forget that you also have more strength when fighting against those dangers that may arise at any time! As the boss of this small team, Cheng Muran naturally started ideological work.

"Hey, hey! I'm actually just kidding Tauchi! How could I not know the dangers of this escort? Not to mention the seniors who have fallen one by one since I joined our oasis mine, let's just say that our brothers have encountered life-threatening dangers no less than ten times, right? Just last time. The group of weak sand scorpions, due to the lack of food in recent months, has greatly increased the number of reproduction, our brothers are good "〗dǐng "〗diǎn "〗 small "〗 said, .∞.↙os_ (); It's easy to escape from their mouths, but they still eat all my shoes on the way out. If I hadn't been clever enough to abandon my shoes in time to save my life, I'm afraid I would have to leave my feet to those reptiles. Liu Biao's face turned red, and he couldn't help but recall, looking like he still had palpitations.

"Is that scary?" Tao Qi listened to him beside him, and he didn't see the danger in Liu Biao's mouth without personal experience. He thought: since it's a scorpion. No one can run fast, and it's not a big deal as long as they dodge far enough. Because he knew that Liu Biao was running the train with his mouth full. Sometimes one can be said to be ten, and what he says is not accurate, but it is said that one is one, rarely bluffing, and the credibility of his words is greater.

Cheng Muran, who was next to him, heard the solemn expression in it, and said, "Isn't it terrible? When you do, you'll know it's more than just scary. The sand scorpion here is a social creature, as long as it is encountered, it will not be one or two, a group of sand scorpions is less than hundreds, more than thousands, the black pressure is not visible at a glance, that is not terrible words can be described, if you fall into their group, any of us will definitely die! Cheng Muran, who usually never speaks big, has always spoken loudly, and even he described it like this, Tao Qi finally understood that the last time they were in distress, the two should indeed have escaped from death, and it was not easy to escape alive!

"Wait! Brother Cheng, look at ......" Liu Biao, who had just looked like he could escape from the mouth of the sand scorpion group, suddenly stopped, pointed to the side and said with a pale face.

Tao Qi and Cheng Muran followed his fingers, and their faces immediately became gloomy.

Although Tao Qi had not seen it, what he had just heard them tell him appeared in front of him and immediately recognized it. I saw that on the sand dunes not far away, it seemed that the sand had turned black and was slowly moving. The sand dunes naturally do not move when there is no wind, and it is the sand scorpions that Cheng Muran and Liu Biao talked about that they are moving, but this group of sand scorpions is huge in number and covers the entire sand dunes, which gives people the illusion that the sand dunes are moving.

The scorpion is very easy to identify, and the scorpion that Tao Qi saw on the TV in the yang world before his death, but the color is pure black, and the size is very large, the size of Tao Qi's small half a foot, they have a pair of scorpion pincers held high above their heads, and a tail hook shines with a faint blue light and is raised high, looking like a fierce and vicious appearance.

Seeing the sand scorpion swarm like a mountain and a sea pressing towards them, all three of them had diǎn scalp numbness, and their breathing began to be diǎn difficult. I'm afraid there will be 50,000 or 60,000 of these scorpions?

Liu Biao swallowed nervously, and exclaimed in despair: "My good man, I have been on this road for more than 20 years, and I have never heard anyone say that there is such a large scorpion swarm!" His legs seemed to be a little weak, and his hands were a little trembling and pulled at the corners of his clothes, and asked, "Boss Cheng, do you see us?" ”

Tao Qi was also shocked by this terrifying insect swarm at this time, and looked at Cheng Muran, ready to listen to the instructions of his old horse, and take the lead for him.

Tao Qi saw that Cheng Muran, who was usually always smiling, was now as pale as dirt, and the corners of his mouth trembled a little, it seemed that even a mature and steady desert old horse like Cheng Muran had been shocked by the scene in front of him.

"I said, brothers, is there anything you can do to fight it head-on?" Cheng Muran suddenly said in a trembling voice, his voice was very low, and it was estimated that he couldn't hear it clearly.

Tao Qi and Liu Biao said in unison: "Of course...... No! ”

"So what are you waiting for? Run, ......" Cheng Muran didn't say much at the moment, turned around like a frightened wild horse, and jumped on a desert yellow camel.

The yellow camel he jumped on was the head of their group, and as soon as he jumped on the head, he immediately slapped the yellow camel's hips like crazy, causing it to run away as fast as he could. Tao Qi and Liu Biao saw Cheng Shuran's action, how dare they hesitate? They each found a yellow camel and followed Cheng Muran to the way they came.

The other camels in the caravan also seemed to be aware of the danger. Followed the camel and galloped quickly.

A few people fled with the wind and sand that was not very large. Tao Liu and the two caught up with Cheng Muran. The speed does not decrease, ask him for the back hand. In the face of such a terrifying scorpion swarm, Cheng Ran is also helpless.

Fortunately, at present, the scorpion group does not know whether they did not find them, or they did not care about them at all, but they moved slowly in the distance, and did not show the posture of wanting to chase a few people, so that the hearts of several people were slightly relaxed. But despite this. The direction blocked by the scorpion swarm is the only way to Shura City, and the direction of movement points directly to the direction of the three of them to escape, with the size of this scorpion swarm, it seems that it is not easy for them to bypass it.

"I said to be the boss, it's not a way to go on like this!" Liu asked, "The scorpion swarm has blocked our way, they are huge, I think the surrounding area has been completely occupied by them, and it is impossible to go around, and it is naturally impossible to pass through." They're in the way, how are we going to transport the goods? ”

"This ......" became a curtain and hesitated. This is indeed a big problem. Is this time the shipment going home? This is absolutely not possible, Cheng Muran dispelled this idea first. This shipment is related to their food for the next month, if they can't get the goods in time to exchange for the necessary food and supplies back to the Oasis Mine, I am afraid that the 100 or so brothers in the mine will starve to death! But the scorpion swarm in front of him is an absolutely insurmountable super storage zài, what can he do?

Cheng Muran, who was riding on a camel, looked back at the scorpion swarm in the distance, and the experience of many years of desert life told him that something seemed to be wrong, but for a while he couldn't think of what the problem was.

How can there be such a large scorpion swarm here? He has learned a lesson, in the choice of route, he has bypassed the place where there may be a scorpion swarm, this place should never appear scorpion swarm, when he passed by this place before, he clearly did not even see a sand scorpion!

But the situation in front of him was urgent, and he did not dare to delay, grabbed the reins, clamped the hunch's belly with his legs, and fled quickly on the desert yellow camel.

Tauchi fled at first, but before long he was left far behind at the end of the carapace. He rode on this desert yellow camel and swayed from side to side, and he was very uncomfortable. He had never even ridden a horse before his death, and now riding this yellow camel with two humps is really difficult to master.

Tao Qi clung to the hump, completely gave up control, and let the yellow camel rejoice on its own, he was torn by the yellow camel as if his bones were falling apart, while shouting: "Cheng Boss, Brother Biao!" We seem to be faster than the scorpions, so let's run diagonally and get around the distance, or we'll run back to the mine after a little longer! ”

Cheng Liu, who was running in front, naturally didn't want to run back like this, not to mention the shame, it was not okay if the food was gone. The salary of merit is small, and the life is big, if you even cut off food and food, you will wait for death when you go back!

So Cheng Muran and Liu Biao glanced at each other, and when they saw Liu Biao diǎn their heads, Cheng Muran gritted his teeth and made up his mind, turned the hump, pulled the reins to the left and turned to the left.

Led by the camel under the crotch of Cheng Muran, the camel team began to detour to the left, intending to escape for their lives while bypassing the edge of the scorpion swarm, although it was very difficult for such a large scorpion group to get around, but it was also much stronger than escaping back to the mine and waiting for death. There is still a month to go before the next sand détente, and these few days must be seized.

The camel team of the three escaped for two days, and during these two days, they always detoured to the periphery of the scorpion swarm, but they failed to successfully bypass the huge black sand dunes, let alone get rid of the pursuit of the scorpion group. This made Cheng Liu and the others, who had experienced hundreds of escorts, stunned, this scorpion group is a bit ridiculously big! Judging from the situation in the past two days, the size of this scorpion swarm does not seem to be 50,000 or 60,000 as estimated at the beginning, but will reach a terrifying 560,000!

Tao Qi and Liu Biao also realized that something was wrong at this time, and as soon as the three of them discussed, they all realized that things were probably not so simple, and there must be some factors that they had not thought clearly about playing a key role.

Suddenly, Cheng Muran grabbed the reins and stopped the caravan as if he had made up his mind. The fear brought to them by the huge scorpion swarm at the beginning has gradually subsided during the two days of escape. Faced with this big scene that he had never experienced before, he finally had some guesses in his heart, and he now needed a piece of evidence, a concrete evidence.

Cheng Shuran jumped off the camel, bit his index finger with his teeth, and drew a small circle on the sand under his feet with the blood spilling from his fingertips, and then he drew a parallel circle in the circle, and drew a six-pointed star pattern in the inner circle.

Tao Qi was surprised when he saw his movements, and he also jumped off the camel and asked Liu Biao in a low voice, "Boss Cheng, what are you doing?" ”

Liu Biao has obviously seen Cheng Muran's behavior many times, and he has already seen it strange, and said with an unchanged face: "Don't make noise, just look at you slowly!" ”

When the six-pointed star pattern is drawn, the eyes are closed, the words are recited, the index and middle fingers are upright, and the thumb, ring finger and little finger are pinched together, which looks like a "sword trick" staged on TV, but it seems to be different from it.

After a while, the words in Cheng Muran's mouth may have been finished, and he saw the back of his hand facing inward, wiping the eyes of his upright index finger and middle finger closed horizontally. After that, he suddenly shouted "Eyes are clear", followed by two round eyes. I saw that his eyes suddenly flashed with blue light, the blue light was deep, and a deep coldness suddenly appeared from his eyes, as if he was devouring the surrounding light and heat, and the appearance was extremely terrifying.

Cheng Muran glanced at the scorpion group in front of him with shining blue eyes, and a faint smile regained on his face, returning to his previous steady appearance.

After a while, the blue glow in Cheng Muran's eyes faded, and his face became a little pale, but his expression swept away the previous depression and fear. Tao Qi guessed that his behavior just now had a heavy load on him, but after Cheng Muran's "look", he seemed to have a good idea of the crisis that the sand scorpion had brought to them.

"Brother Cheng, how is it?" Liu Biao had been paying attention to Cheng Muran's actions, and asked with a look of envy and awe in his eyes.

Tauchi was also curious about the question.

Seeing Cheng Muran's actions subverted the worldview in Tao Qi's heart. In this regard, his heart was full of magic, and he wanted to know what Cheng Muran had done just now, and what effect his actions had.

Cheng Muran gasped slightly, and waited for a moment for his breath to stabilize before he snorted coldly and said, "Sure enough, as I thought, we met a demon beast!" ”

"Demon beast!" When the two heard Cheng Muran say this, they were not happy and shocked.

There are some low-level demon beasts in the first layer of hell, although they are low-level, but they are not something that ordinary prisoners can deal with, not to mention that the demon beasts in front of them are leading such a huge group of sand scorpions!
