The vast desert is vast and majestic, high and vast, as if interpreting the weight of heaven and earth, but above this majestic is a gloomy and dead silence......

As far as the eye could see, there was fine yellow sand everywhere, and there was not a single living creature except sand and sand.

It seems that he is the only one left in this long world, and he has to hang in the desert, with the sand as a companion, and drink alone in the air.

In the distance, sand dunes of different heights lay across under the scorching sun, looking like corpses abandoned in the desert from a distance, lifeless.

Because the air is distorted by the heat, the sand dunes are dancing as if they are dancing, but there is clearly no trace of yellow sand raised, making the picture seem eerie and quiet, and the ghostly feeling of ghosts and ghosts dancing with teeth and claws is born.

In the desert where there is no cool breeze or moisture, breathing in the hot and dry air, you can feel the hot sand through the soles of your shoes, and your throat feels like sand.

Ryan shrugged his throat and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He glanced down at his kettle, thought about it, and put it down.

Suddenly stepping into the desert from the wet sea, for a while, several people were not very comfortable, even Hyvens and Uncle Joseph, who were born and raised here, couldn't help frowning and squinting.

The two sighed quietly and said, "I haven't seen a drop of rain in three years, this place is more desolate than before, you used to see some spiders and lizards, but now you can't even see a single reptile." ”

"Joseph, take some scarves from my luggage and give them to the gentlemen and ladies." Havens said, covering his hand over the sun.

"Yes, my master."

Joseph put one hand on his chest, bowed respectfully, opened the suitcase he was carrying on the ground, took out a dozen neatly folded scarves, and distributed them to the crowd one by one.

Ryan struck three or two times, wrapping a brown gauze scarf around his head and neck.

The scarf is soft and smooth to the touch, and can insulate the scorching sun and some high temperatures, the effect is better than expected, at least it can relieve the heat of the desert.

But...... Who said he was going to insulate with a veil? Isn't the merit of his ability to cope with most situations?

"Embody, slashing sword, sleeve snow." Ryan groaned.

Bite!

The white and slender sleeves of white snow were cut out, and a round icicle that could only be surrounded by three or five people suddenly appeared on the ground, exuding a cool white cold air in the desert.

Whew......

Ryan slashed several swords one after another, and the huge ice cube was cut into more than a dozen smaller ice cubes in an instant, and one person held one in his hand, which was very comfortable.

"It's great to have Ryan on board." Lan Duo suddenly rubbed the ice cube and said with a comfortable face, her fur was about to heat her to death.

"Tsk, flames, magnetism, and the ability to make ice cubes, the Devil Fruit ability is really enviable." Havens couldn't help but admire.

......

"It's okay, it's not too hot."

Only Ace, who does not wrap silk scarves and is not afraid of the heat, wears his unusually cool black shorts, is shirtless, and looks at the crystal ice cube in his hand, and says so.

"Cancel."

As soon as Ryan's words fell, the ice cube in Ace's hand immediately disappeared without a trace.

Look at the others, all holding a piece of ice that brings coolness.

"......" Ace.

Although he is a person with the ability to burn, this temperature is really nothing, but there is no need to be so extreme...... He's the captain of the ship, anyway.

"You don't need it anyway, save my physical strength." Ryan said with a look of course on his face.

Ace shrugged his shoulders, not really bothering with Ryan.

But Ryan is really pragmatist, he doesn't give face at all, and it doesn't matter if he is a captain like him, if he changes the captain, he may remember it in a small book.

Several others wrapped themselves in scarves, held ice cubes in their hands, and braved the scorching sun to hit the road in the desert.

With no obvious markers, Havens didn't know where they were, so they had to try in one direction.

However, they made their way through the desert, and they did not encounter any danger except for a little dreary.

I met a few cacti plants, but they all withered, and the flowers that bloomed also withered and yellowed, floating on the yellow sand, lying quietly.

A river was encountered, but it had long since dried up, leaving only a shallow channel to prove that water had flowed here.

When I encountered a few poplar trees, the bare trunks stretched out to the sky like an arm shouting to the sky, and it was very strong.

They had seen a few reptiles in Havens's mouth, but most of them were weak, and none of the possible fierce desert creatures had been encountered, only their bones half-hidden by the yellow sand......

After walking for a long time, the sun gradually set in the west, the blood-red sun hung on the sky in the west, and the red sunlight was like a layer of blood light shrouded in the desert, a piece of crimson, stimulating the vision of several people.

After struggling for a long time in the barren, desolate, and unbearable desert, my shoes got into the sand several times.

Suddenly, dozens of life fluctuations appeared within the range of Lane's sight and hearing perception!

Such a discovery shocked Ryan's spirit, and his feet stepped together, and the whole person turned into an invisible wind and shot out.

Ace's reaction was not slow, although he didn't see and hear the domineering, but he could see Ryan's movements, and with a wave of his left hand, a cluster of flames suddenly lit up from the soles of his feet.

"Liuyan!"

Shout!

The scorching flames condensed on his feet like a surfboard, and a streamer of flames came out from behind, riding the sand and waves in the sea of sand.

Although he was able to fly in flames, he was barely able to make do with it, and after the battle with Smoker was interrupted, he thought of a means of movement for himself, called Liuyan.

Seeing the two of them who could still ride the dust after walking for a long time, Lan Duo could only say: "The spirit is really good." ”

A few of them walked in the desert for a long time, their feet were almost worn out, looking at the direction where the two of them were going, they couldn't help but nod, agreeing with Landuo's words, people can't be compared.

Ryan in a silent state was a silent wind, drifting across a sand dune to see the bloated caravan beneath the dune surrounded by a dozen desert bandits on camels.

Seeing this, Ryan immediately ran down the dune, his legs alternating rapidly, and a cloud of sand and dust was thrown behind him.

When the first thief noticed something unusual in the dunes.

Bang!

Manshushawa's gunfire rang out.

A silver-white bullet pierced his skull head-on, and bright blood flowers bloomed from the back of his head, revealing death in the bewitching glory, like the flowers of hell blooming on the other side.

Ryan, who is extremely fast, is not at all something that a dozen ordinary thieves can react to.

Ryan was like a wind of death that would harvest life, his fingers snapped and his guns rang out, each of which took the life of at least one bandit.

The bandits didn't even have time to know what was happening, and Ryan, who was swimming through the crowd, had already pierced the heart of the last bandit with his tenth bullet.

The bright blood flowers bloomed in the air in an instant, and then withered in an instant, and more than a dozen bandits went from being dazed to dazed in no more than three seconds.

Wait until the gunfire stops before they all fall to the sand.

Beads of crystal blood scattered in the sky were also scattered on the sand, staining the yellow sand red.

From the time Ace saw it to the time it arrived, Ryan had already eliminated all the bandits.

A large group of people in the caravan looked at the bandits who were dying in an instant, and swallowed at Ryan, who was standing in a pool of blood.

"There's a caravan, no wonder you're running so fast, but you seem to be scared of them." Ace dissipated the condensed flame surfboard on his feet, patted Ryan, and said with a smile.

Ryan plugged back his guns, rolled his eyes, and said, "What can I do, I thought that the team that dared to cross the desert should have some guts." ”

The leader of the caravan was an old man with dark skin and a black silk scarf wrapped around his head, and he was speechless.

Just now those are the famous bandits in this desert, the eighteen horsemen of the iron sand, even if the kingdom army has not been able to annihilate it many times, even if they resist, it will only increase the casualties, how can I think that a young man who suddenly appeared to kill those bandits is like killing chickens, faster than killing chickens, can they ordinary people not be frightened?

But at this time, as the leader, he must stand up and support the entire caravan.

The rickety old man, who had shrunk to one meter five, put his left hand on his back waist, stepped down from the camel, and said carefully to Ryan and Ace: "The two adults saved the small caravan, why don't you stay and let us entertain you, if you have something important, please accept some of our thoughts." ”

As he spoke, the old man took out two gold bars wrapped in cloth, which were golden and shining, and touched people's hearts.

However...... One of them doesn't value money, the other has seen too much money lately, there is no shortage of boats anyway, and they just want to hitchhike.

So both of them rejected the old man's gold bar without any wave.

Ryan took a step back towards Ace.

Ace excused himself, "There are still some people behind us, we just want to stop by the town with you, we don't need these gold bars." ”

The old man hurriedly put away his precious little family foundation, and several members behind him looked at the old man with a look at each other, waiting for his decision.

"Of course, no problem, welcome." The old man said with a bright smile.

In a short time, Lando, Yafisa, and Havens also arrived, got into the caravan's camel cart, and stayed comfortably in the shaded shed.

The caravan drifted away, leaving behind a trail of camel footprints and wheel prints.

As the desert gradually moves towards dusk, the temperature drops rapidly, turning from scorching heat to severe cold, and the sunset like a crimson tulle quietly envelops the desert.

Under the blood-red sunset, the corpse of the Eighteen Riders of Iron Sand lay quietly on the deserted sand.

However, the blood-stained sand wriggled twice like a creature, and found the cold corpses.

Then, like quicksand, he climbed up, slowly covering the arms, clothes, and faces of the corpses, and burrowed into the sleeves, mouth, nose, eyes, and ears little by little, completely enveloping the eighteen corpses.

Then, the sand began to cavinate, slowly devouring eighteen corpses in a rustling sound.

And when they're done, the sand at sunset is as if nothing had happened, leaving no trace of blood...... Only the crimson sunset seems to tell the strange story of this desert.
