Chapter 1045: Hunting in the Sand Sea (19)

Half past six in the afternoon, somewhere in the Sahara Desert.

Bedivel and the others returned to Cairo from Zvar from west to east, with a time difference of about two hours. Cairo sets night earlier than Zwar.

Their "fishing" had not yet been harvested, and the sand boats were sailing in a quiet twilight, while the bored Bediwell and the others were chatting—mainly Segrade and Solal talking, and Bedivel and Elaine listening.

"Ship of the Desert?" Segrad asked, puzzled, "What are you talking about [Ship of the Desert]...... "Camel meow?" "No," Solal pursed his lips and whispered, "According to local legend, this Sahara desert is perennially roamed by a strange sand boat, which is unmanned, and travels forever in this wilderness by its own power, which is full of thousands of treasures. This treasure ship is called the Ship of the Desert, though it may be just a legend. "Stupid to death. Bediwell was also listening to Solal's small talk, and when he heard this, the werewolf couldn't help but interject: "It is absolutely impossible for a ship to sail on its own. To be able to sail in the desert, someone must be piloting it. And...... What do you want to do with a ship full of treasures that never docks to unload?" "It's just a legend, my friend. "According to legend, this demonic treasure ship is fond of luring the greedy to board and kill them, sucking the souls of its victims as fuel for the ship. "Woo! ghosts...... Elaine shuddered.

Bediwell and Segrad glanced at each other, they had encountered ghost ships at sea before, and they felt that ghost ships were not a big deal, and after knowing the reason, they found that the so-called ghosts were only ghosts made by evil spirits. I don't know what this treasure ship called the Ship of the Desert is, but it must have a reasonable and scientific explanation.

"Did you hear that from a few human hunters on the other side?" Bedivel whispered to Solal.

"Yes, my friend. Soral looked over to the other side of the boat, just in time to make eye contact with the guys on the other side. The human hunters who were fishing saw Solal looking over, and immediately waved their hands a few times to say hello.

"Oh hehe. Solar smiled and waved his hand, "They're also pretty friendly hunter friends, if you want to get to know them, I can introduce you-" "I'll talk about that later." Bediwell interrupted anxiously. He was already wary of those human hunters, and if he could, he would try not to deal with them. Besides, after they have completed this commission, they may not have the opportunity to meet these human hunters in the future, so why bother to know a few hurried passers-by in their lives?

At the same time, the werewolf's rod began to tremble, and a fish was caught.

"Alright, let's get to work. Bediwell tugged on the rod to catch the damn Desert Shark (though it would most likely jump straight out of the sand, as it had done before).

The fishing rod is also quite heavy, and the desert shark caught is estimated to be very heavy. Segrade came over to help pull the big fish out of the sea of sand, but they didn't expect to pull out a golden thing!

"Huh?" Bediwell let out a muffled snort of surprise, trying to see what it was. The sea of sand was filled with dust and fog, and the night was getting darker, and the visibility was extremely low, and only a long, streamer-like shape could be seen.

"What the hell is that?" said Segrade, snorting in the same confusion.

"Anyway, pull it out first!" Bedivel ordered.

The two glanced at each other and pulled together. The thing barely struggled, and was dragged out of the sea of sand by them.

It was a gigantic earthworm thirty feet long and as thick as a human thigh. It has a streamlined strip shape and thin bristles on the surface, and the moment it lands on the deck, it constantly squirms, scaring everyone. ......

Bediwell's scalp was numb, and he looked at the disgusting earthworm for half a second. Then he quickly took action, grabbed the Segrade spear and stabbed the earthworm in the head! Because he was really disgusted, this shot also stabbed very hard, and the tip of the spear pierced directly through the head of the big earthworm (assuming it was the head), pierced into the deck of the sand ship, and even left a deep hole in the thick deck of the sand ship!

"Is it dead, dead?" Elaine asked in horror as she looked at the disgusting earthworm.

"No...... "Bediwell has a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the big earthworm writhed at a frenzier speed, and struggled even more violently! From it, a golden shimmer of juice spewed out of it, and it flowed all over the deck, and although it looked luxurious, it was also disgusting!

Bedivel gripped the spear tightly in his right hand, and his left arm had already emitted electricity, and he wrapped the giant earthworm tightly with his turtle tongue whip.

In a burst of electric shock, the golden earthworm was roasted to the point of continuous green smoke! It struggled for a while and then stopped moving, this time it seemed to be really dead.

"Whew. Bedwell wiped a cold sweat. The retracted turtle tongue whip carried the golden mucus secreted by the big earthworm, and it also became extremely disgusting. Surely this mucus carries some kind of unknown germ on it?

Kana, who was still at the bow of the ship, was directing the sailors to put away the sails of the sun, and when she saw the commotion on the left string of the ship, she rushed over to see what was going on. When she saw Bedwell kill the big earthworm, she not only smiled: "Hehe, what a lucky guy, did you catch a golden bug?" "Golden bug?" The werewolf frowned. I've never heard of anything like this.

"A rare bug that occurs in the Sahara Desert. This guy's bodily fluids are rare enchantment materials, so it's very expensive... One kilogram can be sold for hundreds of thousands of Egyptian dollars. Bedivel glared at Kana, "However, this is something that was caught in the course of your commission and belongs to the caravan, so you plan to confiscate it, right?" Kana sneered and waved her hand: "The Muhammad caravan is basically only engaged in food trading, and the golden worm does not belong to the category of food at all, even if this is given to us, we can't deal with it." That's why you are lucky, this thing was caught by you, and it is yours. "Very good...... The werewolf scratched his head: "So, who will teach me what to do with this thing's carcass......" "Oh, that's easy, since it's already on board, the caravan will take care of transporting it back to Cairo's Sand Harbor - of course, we'll charge a small percentage of the transportation costs. What to do with this when you get to the port is your problem - of course, I can help you contact the transport vehicle and take this thing away. The more Bedwell listened, the more wrong he felt: "And then ...... where should it be shipped and sold?" "Haha, how can I know such a thing." "You don't know?!" "Listen," Kana jokingly kicked the corpse of the Golden Bug, "This belongs to the kind of goods that have no price. Ordinary people can't afford it at all, and those who can afford it may not know the goods. The most important problem is that the technology of using the golden bug to make weapons has long been lost, and even if there is a market for it, there is no one who can use it. So... "It's just waste. Bediwell said unhappily: "Let's throw it back into the sea of sand." "Don't make a decision so quickly. Kana advised, "It's hard to come by, maybe there are some curious collectors in Cairo who want to buy it? "But if I didn't, I would have lost even the shipping costs...... The werewolf thought for a moment: "How much do you have to charge for shipping?" "You have to weigh it, it's hard to say." Kana poked the corpse of the golden bug with her cane, the surface of the thing was as soft as rubber, and she could feel that it was full of juice: "Visually, this guy weighs about two tons." Based on the freight cost of 1,000 Cairo per kilogram, this total cost 20,000. "The money you gave us was only 70,000 meows...... Segrade protested dissatisfiedly, "Can't you charge a cheaper meow?" Kana thought for another half second: "Maybe." I'll go back and talk to my boss. The question is, are you going to ship this back, or do you just want to throw it into the sand......?" Yes, of course. Bediwell was not going to miss any good opportunity to make a lot of money, and he had a priceless mountain in front of him: "Please ship it back...... By the way, it's just bodily fluids, right?" "That's easy. Can you borrow some containers of water for them?" The sand ships had just finished unloading, and some of them were empty containers.

"These barrels are not free, one hundred Egyptians each, five hundred liters each. Look at it like this, it can hold twenty or thirty barrels. Kana added, "It depends on what you mean, do you pay for it or just throw away the golden worm?" "How much does it weigh if you remove the flesh and skin, as long as you have bodily fluids?" asked Bedivel again.

"If you add in the weight of the barrel, it's about a ton. Kana said, looking at the golden slime on the ground. The liquid had begun to take on a semi-solidified jelly-like shape, which was obviously heavier than the specific gravity of water, and in the same volume.

According to Bediwell's rough calculations, the cost of shipping and materials (barrels) after filling a qiē barrel should not exceed 15,000 yuan, which feels good.

"Let's do it. The werewolf nodded, "I'll leave it to you to fill the barrel." "Please?" Kana glanced at the werewolf, "You're wrong again...... Sailors are not obligated to help you install it, and if you do, you have to count the labor costs. Just send three people to help you load it, and each of them will charge a thousand yuan, is that okay?" "Tsk!" Bediwell spat out a mouthful of old blood so angry that he was tired of talking about money with the merchant: "Then forget it, don't bother you, I'll fill the bucket myself...... "Uhhh
