The sun is slanting to the west, and in the golden world, countless wrinkles of sand and stones are like solidified waves, extending to the golden horizon in the distance. A round sunset pressed against the ridge line of the desert, and the earth was lined with a dull and dull layer, revealing a layer of gold edges. Suddenly, a whirlwind blew, bringing up waves of sand, like smoke rising from the flats, and spun around and ran away on the desert. Before the sand and waves came, the wind stopped, and the waves froze, like a sleeping sea.

Beyond the sand dunes, the remains of an ancient castle stand proudly, the ruins of the long-eroded sand, and the desolate walls look so desolate in the vast desert.

Next to a tall earthen house, half of the wall has collapsed, leaning obliquely against the last earthen wall, the lower area is covered with yellow sand, and the sand artemisia seeds are only bare rhizomes, firmly grasped in the cracks of the sand.

Suddenly, a hand came out of the dark doorway under the broken wall, and a figure tumbled out of the sand pit.

"It's almost time to go!" Chen Tao raised his hands high, stretched his waist hard, stretched his muscles and bones, and made a crackling and crisp sound.

"Ah......" Chen Tao frowned, his chest muscles pulled, and a sharp pain came from his abdomen, and he inhaled cold air in pain. At the beginning of the collision, I am afraid that a few ribs were broken.

Chen Tao covered his stomach, carefully walked down the sand, and walked to the broken wall where the camel was tethered, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

The camels that had been tethered here were gone, along with the water and some of the equipment and food, except for a few sticks of hay scattered on the ground.

"Haozi! Ye Rong! The camel is gone! ”

Hearing the sound, the two people suddenly had a solemnity on their faces.

"Damn it, camels! You are stunned, didn't you tie up and let the camel get separated! ”

"Impossible!" Chen Tao grabbed a few sticks of hay scattered on the ground: "The camel was tied by me and Ye Rong together, and the forage was fed by us together, how could it be possible to run away by yourself!" ”

"Camels will never run on their own while they are on a leash, someone must have taken them away while we were asleep!" Ye Rong looked a little anxious, but she still tried her best to calm down.

"Who would come to this place where birds don't poop?" When Haozi heard that he was taken away, he immediately scolded.

"Is it the Takji head? Isn't he dead yet? Chen Tao's face changed.

"It's impossible, the hall is buried with sand, even if he is hard, he will have to burp no matter how hard his life is!"

"Who the hell is it?"

Wow....... Chirp.......

The three of them were guessing, when a sharp chirp suddenly sounded overhead, startling the sky and suppressing the clouds, instantly piercing the sky.

Chen Tao hurriedly looked up, and saw that under the slanting sun, high in the sky, a black shadow was hovering in the air.

"That's ....... An eagle? Chen Tao looked shocked, this is the hinterland of the desert, except for the sand is sand, there is not even a single bug, how can there be an eagle!

Wow....... Chirp.......

And he saw the black eagle, hovering in the air, overlooking the earth

, flapping his wings, suddenly let out a scream, and instantly swooped down towards the three of them, from far to near, from high to low, and the speed was amazing.

Wow.......

In the blink of an eye, the black eagle had already pounced in front of everyone, but saw that the black eagle's beak was like a scimitar, its eyes were fierce and sharp, and its black and hard feathers reflected the dazzling golden light against the backdrop of the setting sun, and its strong and powerful wings cut through the sky, with a wingspan of three meters. A pair of sharp claws glowed with gold, and they actually wore a pair of gold distances on them.

The golden distance is a thin metal sleeve worn on the claws of animals such as eagles or fighting cocks, only the falcons released by the hunter will have a golden distance, and the golden distance worn on the talons of the falcon is the habit of the ancient nobles when they were falconing, but it is not something that ordinary hunters can afford. The fierce falcon brings the golden distance, and when it encounters wild foxes, strong wolves, and yellow sheep, it roars down from the sky, and can easily tear their fur.

Raising falcons is a symbol of authority and wealth, and the Eurasian steppe peoples directly associate the eagle with the image of the emperor as a symbol of royal power, so the sacredness of the king's domestication of the eagle is unquestionable and proud. From the Western Regions to Western Asia, there was a fashion trend of falconry, and the white-clothed Umayyad caliphs were fond of falconry, and the Sassanid emperors of Persia also loved to hunt with falcons. When the Mongols conquered Central Asia, there was a saying that "a good horse cannot be exchanged for a good eagle".

The falcon roared to it, and when everyone saw its ferocity, they could only hide on the spot.

Wow.......

The falcon let out a piercing scream, waved its huge wings, hovered from where Chen Tao and the others were standing just now, and landed on a high wall nearby, its fierce eyes staring at the three people present as if it could pierce people's souls.

Chen Tao got up from the ground with a disgraced face, and gasped in his heart, falconry is extremely rare in these years, let alone putting a golden distance on the eagle's talons? How could there be such a fierce falcon in this endless desert!

Syllable!

Before the person could stand firmly, suddenly there was another gunshot behind him, and the bullet hit the sand against Chen Tao's trouser tube, stirring up a cloud of sand smoke. Looking back, the broken walls of the roof on all sides were already covered with people!

Syllable...... Another shot was fired between the three.

Originally, Haozi wanted to turn over the steel nail hidden in his wrist, but he didn't dare to move it at this time, the other party was numerous, everyone had a gun in their hands, even if he was fast, he couldn't be faster than a bullet!

The three of them were back to back, nervously watching the crowd around them, between whom they were dressed in black uniforms, wearing a cloak and sleeved cloth robe, a long scarf wrapped around their heads, a large hood, a scimitar pinned to their waists, and a gun in their hands aimed at the three people on the ground, dressed like Saudi bandits.

Who are these people?

Chen Tao was horrified in his heart, but he didn't dare to move, he had no doubt that as long as he made the slightest move, the bullet would be able to beat the three of them into a pile of rotten meat. But judging by the current situation, it seems that these people do not want to kill them.

Suddenly there was a whistle on the high wall, and the falcon, which had been on the side, swooped up and landed on a man's arm. The man lifted his hood

, dark skin, with strange tattoos tattooed on his face, stared at Chen Tao and the three on the ground with a vicious expression.

"Who are you and what do you want to do!"

The man didn't speak, fed a piece of minced meat to the eagle's mouth, and then raised his hand and waved, and several people behind him jumped down from the roof and escorted Chen Tao and the others.

"Let go of me! Who the hell are you? Chen Tao struggled, but was smashed on his hind leg by the butt of a gun by those people, and he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

"Be honest, I'll shoot you again!"

The person who collected the eagle before also walked down from the broken wall, and one person and one eagle stared at Chen Tao and them together, and only after a while did he speak: "Hello, guests from afar." ”

"Guests? Phew! Haozi spat out, "Are you welcoming guests?" ”

The man glanced at Haozi, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and walked in front of Haozi, Haozi was not afraid at all, and his two eyes stared at him without flinching.

"There's a backbone, but it's useless." The man stretched out his hand and pinched Haozi's face, gritted his teeth and said: "Here, Lao Tzu has the final say, it's better to be obedient to me, otherwise I'll pick your skin and feed it to the eagle!" ”

With that, he pulled his hand fiercely, and Haozi's face suddenly had five more fingerprints.

"You remember it for me!" Being treated like this, Hao Zi gritted his teeth angrily.

The man glanced at Haozi with disdain, turned around and walked in front of Ye Rong, stretched out his finger and touched Ye Rong's face.

"Tut-tut, what a beautiful face, it would be a pity to die."

"Humph!" Ye Rong turned her face away fiercely, "If you want to kill, kill it, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Yo, the little lady's temper is not small, strong enough, and delicious enough!"

The people around him were shocked, Ye Rong's face was blue and white for a while, and she struggled a few times, but she couldn't break free from the two big men behind her.

"Who are you and what the hell do you want to do!" Chen Tao stared at the man and asked.

"What for?" The man grinned, and suddenly his hand grabbed Chen Tao's neck from the depths of the ground.

"Tell me, who told you to come?"

"No one, we came by ourselves!" Chen Tao's face was flushed, and the blood vessels in his neck were pinched and protruded.

"Hmph, the bones are quite hard, don't say it, I think you're looking for death!" The man gritted his teeth viciously, and his hand increased its strength.

"I ...... I did...... Father...... It's on your own! ”
