Chapter 377: A Caravan in the Desert
There was no end in sight in the vast desert, and the four of them struggled to move forward in this desert, and the supplies they were carrying had already exceeded their own loads.
"Brother Lin, according to the map, I'm afraid we will have to walk for two days and two nights to reach our destination! I'm afraid we're going to be in this desert for the next two days! ”
Lin Mu glanced at the map in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's try to save a little physical strength, I see that the yellow sand is too thin, walk a little slower, I'm afraid of the quicksand here!"
Mu Bai also frowned at this moment.
"I remember coming here when I was a kid, and there was supposed to be a special road, and even then, it seemed like there were several people stuck in the quicksand."
Lin Mu sighed slightly, what he was most worried about had happened.
By this time, they had been walking in the soft sand for nearly half a day.
Everyone was out of breath and looked like they couldn't stand it.
In the end, the four of them could only find a place to set up a tent in the sand dunes, which seemed to be relatively stable.
The desert night is like an ice cellar, extremely cold.
But now they have gone deep into the heart of the desert, and if they want to upgrade the fire, it is like a man and a man in the desert at night, and the wind in the desert can blow a camel away, let alone a fire.
Fortunately, when they arrived, they brought a lot of felt cloth, which was quite warm at night.
But the most important problem now is that the place where they are is is too loose, and it is impossible to put a tent here.
Lin Mu suddenly became worried, if this was the case, they would have to freeze to death here at night.
At this moment, the sound of a bell suddenly rang from not far away.
Lin Mu hurriedly climbed up the hill, only to see several camels coming over in the sunset.
Lin Mu couldn't help frowning, now that they had already gone deep into the hinterland of the desert, it was a bit impossible for a camel to appear in this place.
At this moment, the remaining few people also climbed the hill.
When they climbed up, they instantly showed the same expression as Lin Mu.
Yes, this place is not a trade road, nor is it any other important area, who would have nothing to do and drive a camel here?
Li Mu was staring at the camel caravan at the moment, and he was about to snatch the camel caravan completely.
"Brother Lin, what should we do now, if we don't have this camel to block the wind and sand, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive tonight!"
Lin Mu was silent for a moment: "Let's go, let's go over and explore!" ”
The two of them walked directly one after the other, but the person in charge was startled.
The total number of camel caravans was only three.
It's just that it seems that these three people, each of whom has weathered faces, should walk in the desert all year round.
"Big brother, please ask, where are you going with this camel caravan?"
The man at the head hurriedly got off the camel: "We are going to send camels to the nearby gods!" ”
Lin Mu couldn't help frowning, and at this time, he suddenly found that these camels had a very strange mark engraved on their bodies.
And before this mark, they could be seen everywhere on the Haunted Mansion Conference.
It seems that all these camels are going to be sent to the ghost building.
"Big brother, please ask, do you have to send it every year?" Lin Mu was suddenly a little curious.
But I didn't expect that when I asked this sentence just now, the people who sent the camels knelt directly on the ground.
"We herders send a camel here every year, but every time we send a camel, we never come back! The people of the village said that they had been left behind by the gods. ”
This sudden change made the two of them a little overwhelmed.
Lin Mu stabilized his mentality and asked, "Since you were left behind by the gods, then you should yearn for this place, why do you cry like this?" ”
"But we don't want to leave our hometown forever, what if we don't sacrifice to the gods, but to the devil?"
The brains of these people are a little clearer, after all, the impression left by the ghost building over the years is really not very good.
At this time, Li Mu on the side suddenly had bad intentions.
"Otherwise, there will be a few of us who will send this year's camels for you, and it just so happens that we are going in that direction, it should be the direction of your gods!"
Several people nodded again and again, and by this time, they couldn't care so much.
"In that case, these camels will be handed over to you, and you must deliver them to the gods without any problems!"
While saying that, the group turned around and left here with a hula and no nostalgia.
Lin Mu sighed helplessly: "It seems that what the ghost building has done in the desert over the years is indeed a bit shameful!" ”
After a sigh, the two men pulled the camel behind the dunes.
Subsequently, the camels knelt down in a semi-encircled state around the dunes, forming an extremely thick camel force.
When in the desert, the material of the ground is not suitable for tents, so these camels can only be used as a temporary barrier.
As for the people, they can only sleep in sleeping bags, or build a simple tent on the basis of these camels.
By this time, they were no longer so poor, and they directly connected the felt cloth they had brought with them to the camels, and lay down in the wind wall.
They rested for a night, and the next day, they suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some sand carts nearby, slowly moving there.
To be honest, a sand bike that can get into such an environment is definitely the best among off-road vehicles.
However, the off-road vehicle also had the logo of the ghost building engraved on it, which made several of them frown.
The people who keep moving forward in this direction are basically the people of the ghost building, and if they are discovered by the other party, then they will fall short.
But there are a lot of camels next to them now, and it's hard for others to find out.
At this time, the off-road vehicle suddenly walked down, and several black-robed people walked down.
They parked the car there, and then slowly walked over with some very exotic weapons in their hands.
By the time they got closer, Mu Bai and Wang Xin'er had already hid behind the camels and didn't dare to show their faces at all.
"Who the hell are you? What are you doing here? ”
Lin Mu smiled slightly, and directly took out a brand from his body.
"You're from a ghost building, aren't you? We are our own people, and we came to deliver the camels! ”
The people from the two ghost buildings couldn't help frowning: "Generally, the people who give camels are residents in this neighborhood, where did you get the camels?" ”
Lin Mu smiled: "We met those people halfway and brought the camel from their hands, otherwise, they might lose the camel!" ”
This reason is indeed a bit far-fetched, but the two guys from the ghost building really believe it.
"Good thing I ran into you! These guys throw a batch of camels every year, and we go out to find them ourselves, which is really annoying! ”
Lin Mu also immediately chimed in: "It's just annoying, when we met them, they were looking around, as if they had lost a few camels!" ”
The two men in black were a little impatient: "Okay, okay, your camels are following behind our cart, let's go back quickly!" If you go back late, you won't be able to catch the conference. ”
Lin Mu couldn't help frowning, the people in this ghost building really like to hold conferences, not only snatched the assembly of the Guwu family, but also held the assembly in this desert by himself.
After the two black-robed men explained, they returned to the car.
Then Lin Mu took three people to slowly help the camel up and followed the car.
It's just that at this time, Mu Bai and Wang Xin'er also learned from those black-robed people to put on black robes.
After all, Mu Bai is the saintess of their ghost building, if these people take a closer look, they may find out Mu Bai's true identity.
By that time, all that they had done would be in vain.
With the people of the ghost building leading the way, their distance can be greatly shortened.
After taking a few shortcuts, they finally arrived at the headquarters of the ghost building.
This place is an oasis hidden in the desert, and these guys have built a huge castle in this oasis.
