Chapter Thirty-Eight: Accidents (Collect)
Murderous motives lurk everywhere in the desert, and your situation may be turned upside down in a second!
Laika City has been left far behind, and the city wall has gradually changed from a behemoth to a line until it disappears from sight!
There are very few plants in the desert, cacti towering high in the desert, and sparse poplar trees, and sand dunes everywhere! As the wind blows, the dunes change their position at any time!
Zhao Xiao'an and his entourage had been walking for about thirty minutes, and they were surrounded by desert on all sides, with yellow sand flying all over the sky, and there was hardly a trace of green. The sun scorched the desert as if it were all smoking, and the air was distorted by the heat.
At this time, it is also the time when people are most prone to impetuousness, Zhao Xiaoan kept replenishing water, but soon his mouth was dry again.
Although it is now approaching dusk, the sun still does not set.
Even if it is difficult to endure this extreme environment, there is no other way!
At this time, the freshman at the front suddenly shouted, "There is a sandstorm ahead!" Be careful, everyone! ”
Zhao Xiaoan looked up, and not far in front of him, the sand and dust had already covered the entire sky! And the sand and gravel are moving rapidly in it.
With Zhao Xiaoan's speculation! The wind seems to have reached force 8!
At this time, the camel herd also seemed to detect the strength of the sandstorm ahead!
The camels began to slowly slow down! Lean down, the wisest thing to do now is to wait for the sandstorm to wreak havoc and set off again!
The sandstorm slowly approached Zhao Xiaoan and the others! Zhao Xiaoan also clung to the rope on the camel's body so as not to be swept away by accident!
"Mio, bury your head down, hold on to the rope!" Zhao Xiaoan still reminded Mio.
"Of course I know, do you need to say it? Hum! ”
Zhao Xiaoan: ...
A sandstorm is just around the corner! The sand and gravel spun constantly after being scraped into the air, and the blow to the body was also painful.
The visibility was already less than 200 meters, and Zhao Xiao'an was almost in the center of the sandstorm at this time!
Gravel rustles in my ears! All other sounds were drowned out by the sound of gravel! The surrounding trees and cacti were blown to the ground! At the same time, it was covered with a yellow veil.
Maybe just two more minutes, and the sandstorm will gradually pass!
Zhao Xiaoan and the other ten people did not dare to move on the hunchback, and the sand and gravel drilled on their bodies, sometimes itchy, like ants crawling over them.
The whistling of the wind in my ears gradually became smaller, and the feeling of sand and gravel hitting my body gradually disappeared, and the sandstorm seemed to have passed!
Zhao Xiaoan opened his eyes and found that the sandstorm had passed by them and was blowing towards the north! But the momentum seems to be slowly decreasing! Presumably, it will gradually disappear after another 10 kilometers.
At this time, everyone else also eased up and looked around, but the roar in their ears still stopped!
The freshman opened his mouth and said, "Are you all okay?" I was really miserable by this sandstorm! There was sand all over the body. As he spoke, he stood up and shook his clothes and pants.
"But it's still early, don't take it lightly! The road behind is still long, and sandstorms are like a common occurrence, there have always been, it depends on our luck! ”
Zhao Xiaoan also agreed with the freshman statement, but he missed one point, those demonic beasts are more ferocious than sandstorms! Now it's almost on the edge of the desert, and the monsters seem to be extinct, but the deeper you go, the more you will definitely encounter them!
The camels sensed the past of the crisis, slowly stood up, and continued their journey.
After the sandstorm, unexpectedly, after more than ten minutes, the sun has almost set under the hills, and the afterglow of the sun shines in the west, and the sunlight meets the particles, and then scatters, forming a beautiful sunset! The clouds were reflected in a dark red and piled up on the horizon. And the eastern sky was almost darkened, shrouded in darkness.
This scenery can be said to be a clear sense of contrast, the afterglow of the sunset tried its best to explore the east, but it was soon swallowed up by darkness. And sooner or later, this last glow will also be drowned out.
The so-called sunrise does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. Zhao Xiao'an and Mei Xu sat on the back of a camel, turned their heads to look at the sunset in the west, observing the movement of the clouds, which brought about the change of the glow, even if the sand and gravel flying was unbeautiful, but it could highlight the different style of the desert.
The sun shines brightly, and it is inevitable that time will be destroyed. As the sun continued to sink, the glow of the sunset faded until it was completely enveloped in darkness.
It's not like there's a little bit of light in the desert, and the light pollution in the distant city makes the sky very bright. The moonlight shining on the plants in the desert has the illusion of sparkling!
And at night, the desert is under the beautiful scenery, and the monsters also come out to move, in order to preserve their own water and physical strength, so they choose to go out at night!
Ten camels were still hurrying unhurriedly, and the night wind was unexpectedly calm.
At this point, another half an hour has passed! But the trip is far from halfway there. And there's a pedestrian hostel in the desert where I'll spend the night if nothing else! Tomorrow morning to continue on the road! In the middle of the night, the frequency of monsters is too high, and if you can't reach your destination before it, you can only get into the mouth of the tiger.
Although the combat effectiveness of 10 people combined is not weak! But it's not an isolated case for ants to kill elephants!
At this time, it is 120 degrees east longitude, and it is 8 o'clock in the evening! Zhao Xiaoan and his entourage have already walked a hundred kilometers, nearly a third!
The speed of the camel is also much slower because of the long distance!
At this time, it has traveled to a relatively narrow corridor, the wind erosion landform, the so-called wind erosion mushroom!
The mushroom rocks on both sides reach more than 10 meters high, just like mushrooms! The road in the middle is wide. This kind of terrain is due to long-term weathering, polishing and carving, different shapes, coupled with the transportation phenomenon of wind and sand flows, there will be a magic of nature!
The herd of camels is already on the verge of entering the wind-eroded landscape, and it is almost covered for miles!
Zhao Xiaoan didn't know why, he was a little uneasy at this time, maybe he was just worried too much...
The speed of the camels has become the same as that of the bicycles...
At this time, it was a time for everyone to relax, and the first four college students and the two repeaters were talking and laughing, looking quite enjoyable. On the other hand, the two behind are already sitting on the body of a camel.
On the contrary, Zhao Xiaoan and Meixu seemed out of place, just looking at the surrounding scenery and observing the grass and trees.
Five minutes later, the camels had entered the entrance to the wind-eroded landscape, and were at least 60 kilometers away from the hostel.
Zhao Xiaoan lay on the back of a camel and took a nap, thinking: If I were a monster, I would definitely attack passers-by at this time... Isn't this the right time and place!?
Mio is still munching on her hunchback, eating her favorite bread sandwich. Since Zhao Xiaoan was with Mei Xu, he found that Mei Xu ate bread sandwiches, and each meal tasted different! Zhao Xiaoan can also imagine how much she loves bread sandwiches!
The road is also quite bumpy, because the terrain on all sides is different and uneven! Camels are needed to circle around the wind-eroded landscape. If a person is randomly placed in a wind-eroded landscape and does not fly with wings, then there is a high probability that it will collapse!
The entrance was gone, completely blocked by wind-eroded mushrooms, and when you looked behind you, there was only a tall mushroom. After another minute, the ten people were completely embraced by the mushroom, crawling slowly like small insects beneath it.
Suddenly, the wind blows! If you listen closely, you can hear the sudden rustling of the sand beneath you, and it is getting louder and louder, and the camels suddenly increase their speed, and you can hear their heavy snorts! What is the creature that scares camels so much?
Several people on the hunchback felt the changes around them, and they all stopped moving, what was the rustling sound coming from the ground? So that the camel wants to escape even if it tries hard?
Everyone was both panicked and a little guilty in their hearts, and they actually relaxed their vigilance in a comfortable environment! But also expect that it's just the sound of the wind blowing the sand!
But what are you afraid of! Dozens of desert rattlesnakes have emerged from the sand! Surrounded by everyone, the way out was blocked!
Zhao Xiaoan just guessed that this might be a way for rattlesnakes to deal with lizards! But just as they passed by, so kill two birds with one stone!
Everyone was really frightened! Dozens of demonic beasts were quietly waiting for them to take the bait, and if they had noticed it earlier, they wouldn't have taken a long detour! But now it's too late, and it's useless to think more, so you can only prepare for a hard fight.
Dozens of demonic beasts with humanoid snake bodies slowly stood up with their upper bodies, sizzling and slowly approaching them, and in their eyes, these humans seemed to be already on their plates!
Zhao Xiaoan can only play the role of a leader at this time, the freshman in front of him has been so frightened that he can't stand, it seems that he has never dealt with so many demonic beasts at one time!
Zhao Xiaoan shouted: "Everyone take out their weapons and form a circle!" The melee ones stand in front, and the ranged ones stand behind the support! It's just a second-order demonic beast, don't be afraid! ”
With Zhao Xiaoan's order, everyone also reacted quickly and followed Zhao Xiaoan's instructions. Hurry up and get off the camel and surround it in the middle so that the camel will not be injured.
Zhao Xiaoan pulled out his spear and stood on the side where the demonic beasts were relatively concentrated. And Mio took out a bow and stood on the back of a camel, staring at the human snake beast slowly moving forward with fierce eyes!
What made Zhao Xiaoan feel very coincidental was that the couple actually had a bow and a gun! However, they are all copper-colored weapons, and Zhao Xiaoan is not surprised.
Set up a formation, 8 people surrounded the camels, and two people released arrows on the camels' backs. This coherent action was quickly completed in 8 seconds.
And at this moment, dozens of human snake beasts also launched an offensive!
