Chapter 164: The Hunter and the Prey

Another companion left before his eyes, which dealt a heavy blow to the people, who were already unable to move on, and everyone sat on the sand, looking at the yellow sand in the distance, completely desperate.

"Anyway, I can't get out, and my mother is too lazy to go, big man, come here, sit next to me, you want to go to the Hades Palace, let's be together!" Qiao Yuwei gasped and said to Chi Mu'er not far away.

"Die or die! I, Chimur, am not a person who is afraid of death. Chi Mu'er struggled to get up from the sand, stumbled to Qiao Yuwei's side, and sat down.

"You two, what are you saying about discouragement, as long as there is still a breath left, we can't give up hope." Among this group of people, Yao Xia is the oldest and has experienced the most things.

"But Commander Yao, we can barely overcome it without food, but without water, we really can't hold on!" A Dafu soldier beside him said helplessly.

"If cacti can grow here, it means that there may be water under the sand." The soldier's words mentioned water, which made Yang Yun suddenly remember the knowledge he had seen in the book before, and he suddenly said loudly.

After finishing speaking, Yang Yun stood up, took difficult steps, came to the place where the cactus grew the densest, picked up the short knife in his hand, and dug it on the sand.

Hearing that there might be water here, everyone came to the spirit, and they barely supported themselves, came to Yang Yun's side, and dug down with him.

After a while, a large sand pit appeared on the sandy ground with a depth of about seven or eight meters, but there was not even a drop of water in the sand pit.

As time passed, the people who had not seen a drop of water became desperate, and they stopped moving their hands.

Even Yang Yun, who made the initial suggestion, had no motivation to continue digging, he sat in the sand pit, grabbed a handful of sand and threw it into the distance.

Everyone sat on the sand for a long time with a pillar of incense. During this time, no one spoke, and no one offered to continue walking.

"No, the sand in this pit is obviously wetter than the sand above, and there must be water underneath." Yang Yun, who was sitting in the sand pit, suddenly felt that the clothes on his body showed signs of being soaked, and he immediately became happy.

So, Yang Yun got up again, picked up the short knife and continued to dig down in the sand pit. Two or three more soldiers, who still had a little strength, also barely got up, digging and digging down with Yang Yun......

After digging four or five meters below, the sand below was obviously much wetter, and it seemed that there was really water underneath. Seeing hope, a few more soldiers who had regained some strength climbed up and joined the team digging the pit.

"There's water! There's water! Everyone worked together and dug down more than twenty meters, when a soldier suddenly shouted excitedly.

Hearing the soldier's shout, everyone became excited, and he slowly came to the front of the pit and looked into the pit.

I saw that in the middle of the bunker, a small puddle of water had gathered at this time. Although this water is not much, it is enough to make everyone present ecstatic.

With water comes hope, and at this time, it seems that everyone has strength in their bodies. They jumped into the pit and dug even harder. As the depth of the pit increases, more and more water collects in it.

"I can't drink it yet, everyone hold on a little longer, let's go up first, and wait for the sand in the water to settle." Looking at the water in these turbid pits, Yang Yun stopped holding the water

A soldier who wants to drink.

The next thing is to wait, to wait for the water in the pit to become clear, and for the substances in the water that are not good for the body to settle down. This period of time was not long, but it was a great torture for these people who were already thirsty and almost collapsed.

Finally, the water in the pit became clear, and with Yang Yun's order, everyone finally got their wish, watching everyone gobble up, Yang Yun's face finally showed a smile.

At this time, Yang Yun was holding a broken basin in his hand, and drank a few sips of the water in the basin. All of a sudden, he felt refreshed. The body, which is severely dehydrated, finally has a trace of vitality.

He came to Duanmu Jiyue and first wiped some water on her face and lips. Then he broke his mouth and slowly poured the water from the basin into her mouth.

Duanmu Jiyue is now in a coma due to lack of water, and with water, she subconsciously swallowed it in one gulp, and after Yang Yun fed her about a bowl of water, she stopped the movements in her hands.

Because Yang Yun knew that in Duanmu Jiyue's current situation, if he suddenly replenished too much water, it would not be a good thing.

After drinking water, everyone's state is much better, they have some strength in their bodies, and their eyes are no longer as dull as just now.

After a while, Duanmu Jiyue also woke up from her coma, she slowly opened her eyes, and just in time to see Qiao Yuwei who was taking care of her beside her.

"Am I dead? Why, Yuwei, you are also dead, why is there so much sand in this Hades Palace? Duanmu Jiyue said weakly.

"Hades, you won't accept you as a naughty guy, so! He's kicking you back again. Seeing her friend wake up, there should be no problems with her body and body, which made Qiao Yuwei's mood better.

Finally found the water source, and everyone drank the water, perhaps the sweetest and most fragrant water they had ever drunk in their lives. Because of this life-saving water, everyone seems to have a second life, and even Duanmu Jiyue, who collapsed and fell into a coma due to lack of water, also woke up.

The good news one by one made everyone's mood obviously better. As we continued, there were voices in the crowd that were talking to each other, and even worse, some people were actually humming songs.

With water, there is spirit, and there is confidence to get out of the desert. In such a state, everyone continued to move forward, although the road was still so difficult, but everyone felt that their steps were much easier.

In such a situation, the team moved on. Along the way, we saw more and more green plants, and at this time, everyone not only had sufficient water, but also used the rhizomes of plants to make food to satisfy hunger.

However, the desert has limited water and even more limited greenery. The few green plants that were sparsely lala, its rhizomes, and its leaves, were all eaten by everyone.

The taste of these plants is very unpalatable. But in this case, everyone gobbled it up, and people who didn't know thought they were eating something delicious.

But even these hard-to-swallow roots and leaves were eaten up by everyone in a short period of time.

These things can be used when everyone is most hungry. Buffer a little, hunger brings everyone's pain. But after a while, the feeling of hunger rose again in the hearts of the people.

Walking in the desert is physically demanding, and in addition to the necessary water source, food is also extremely important. Moving on, everyone feels that these roots and blades of grass are becoming more and more useless

The law solves the problem of hunger for the people.

If there is nothing in the stomach, there is not a trace of strength in the body. Everyone tried their best to move forward step by step, and more and more they felt as if their legs were filled with lead, and it was difficult to move a single bit.

According to this soldier, who is familiar with the desert terrain, seeing the greenery in the desert means that he is about to walk out of the desert.

This sentence gave everyone confidence, and everyone walked on their legs like lead. Enduring the pain of the chest against the back, enduring the spasms due to lack of food, he walked forward step by step.

It seemed that the soldier was right, because as everyone moved forward, there were more and more green plants, and even worse, some small animals were seen.

Scorpions, lizards, gerbils...... These little animals, which usually look disgusting, seem so kind in the eyes of everyone.

With everyone's encouragement from each other, the total person dragged their tired bodies, supported each other, and continued to walk forward step by step.

Suddenly, three big guys appeared. It's said to be a big guy, but it's actually not that big. However, their bodies far surpassed those of the critters they had encountered earlier.

If you meet these three guys before entering the desert, everyone will definitely retreat. Stay away from them.

But now. Although everyone did not dare to approach them. However, the pace under his feet stopped.

These are three desert wolves, looking at their skinny appearance, they should have not eaten for a long time. The three wolves, looking at the humans in front of them, had a fierce light in their eyes, and saliva was dripping from their mouths.

In this endless desert, to be able to see so many people, these three wolves have not eaten fragrant meat for a long time, and when they think about it, their saliva can't help but flow down.

What the three wolves didn't expect was that these humans, like them, wanted to use them as food for their own stomachs.

Yang Yun and others are the food in the eyes of these desert wolves, and these three desert wolves are also the food in the eyes of Yang Yun and others. So, who exactly is the hunter and who is the prey? No one can tell.

The three wolves looked at the people in the distance, and when they saw these people, although they were staggering and the road was almost gone, they saw themselves, but there was no trace of fear on their faces, but there was a trace of greed in their eyes.

Looking at these people in their hands, they were still holding all kinds of things, although they didn't know the purpose of these things, they still vaguely felt that there was danger, so these wolves took a few steps back, and there was a trace of hesitation in their eyes.

Suddenly there was a gurgling sound in their stomachs, which was a sound alerting them. They hadn't eaten in a long time, and they couldn't let go of these delicious delicacies.

Therefore, the three desert wolves stopped retreating, but they did not dare to move forward. It's just that there was a greedy light in his eyes, staring at Yang Yun and the others.

Yang Yun and his soldiers also stood in place, not moving a single step, if they usually encountered these three wolves. They may attack them with bows and arrows, armed with all sorts of soldiers—to make them food for their own people.

But now, the hunger of the past few days has exhausted their bodies to the extreme, and they have no confidence to defeat these three wolves, but like these three wolves, they are not willing. Prey in front of you.

In this way, the two sides looked at each other in the desert, and even the sun in the sky stopped. Quietly looking at the people and beasts in this desert, he wanted to see, who was the prey and who was the hunter on both sides?
