Episode 4 Crossing the Desert 1
1
Shanwa and Caoni flew to the edge of the desert and saw a pack of wolves chasing a camel that had straggled. "We have to save the camel," said Shanwa, "or it will die in a moment." ”
Cao Ni said: "If we fight with the wolf again, we won't be able to catch up with the honey badger, let's hurry up, don't worry about it so much." ”
"We have to save the camel, the camel is the desert guide, and with its help, we can avoid many detours," said Shanwa. ”
Shanwa suddenly landed beside the camel and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll save you." ”
The camel also seemed to be unable to run, and when it heard Shanwa say that it was going to save it, it immediately stopped. Shanwa didn't care so much this time, and the fire dragon jar spewed raging fire directly at the wolves at the beginning. The head wolf was scorched by the fire, and suddenly turned around and ran back. When the other wolves saw the first wolf running away, they all whined and ran.
The mountain girl chased away the wolves and asked the camel, "Have you ever seen a honey badger?" ”
The camel nodded and said, "I saw it, and it ran into the depths of the desert." ”
Shanwa said, "Can you take us there?" ”
The camel nodded again, and said, "Yes, but it is difficult to go further inside, and I can only carry one of you, and there are two of you, how can I walk?" ”
Shanwa said, "We don't need you to carry it. ”
Then the camel said, "There are wind demons and sand monsters in there, and they are so vicious that even we camels are afraid of them, can you do it?" ”
Shanwa smiled and said, "We are not afraid of them, as long as you can go, we dare to go." ”
The camel hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's go." ”
When you first enter the desert, the terrain is relatively flat, and the desert is full of pebbles, looking from afar, it seems like black duck eggs all over the ground. Walking on the cobblestones, the feet make a creaking sound, this is the sound of the desert Gobi, the pebbles everywhere are like the notes on the desert Gobi, and the footsteps on the pebbles are like playing the notes of the Gobi, leaving the accompaniment sound all the way. Further in, from time to time sand dunes pop up one by one, and the dunes are covered with red willows and saxon trees, and the pebbles on the pebbly ground are full of camel thorns, and the pebbles under the camel thorns are like a nest of eggs under it. The red willow and the shuttle tree are blown by the wind, and the style is varied, graceful and charming.
The camel walked unhurriedly and seemed to lose track of time. Shanwa and Caoni followed behind the camel, seemingly in a bit of a hurry. Cao Ni said: "If you go on like this, when will you catch up with the honey badger?" ”
Shanwa said, "Don't worry, follow the camel for a while." ”
At this time, a large group of wild donkeys rushed over, and the quiet desert Gobi was kicked and wiped away by the galloping wild donkeys, and the desert Gobi was quickly shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and the wild asses ran in front of them, and barked a few times, saying: "The wolf is coming, run!" ”
Then several more camels came running madly, and the leading camel came to a stop in front of the guide camel, gasped, and said, "The wolf is coming, why are you still here slowly, don't you run quickly." ”
The guide camel turned his head towards Shanwa and Caoni and said, "I will show them the way." ”
The leading camel looked nervous, stopped talking, and continued to lead the caravan forward.
Shanwa was about to take out the fire dragon jar to prepare for the battle, but he saw the wolves roaring past him, ignored them, and when the wolves ran away, he put away the fire dragon jar again.
Walking forward, they passed through a forest of dead trees, the dry poplar trees were majestic, some straight to the sky, some were strangely shaped, the body of the tree was as thick as a millstone, and the wrinkles on the body were full of chapped wrinkles telling the vicissitudes of the desert. Although they have lost the green color of life, they are still standing, under the illumination of the sun, they are in a variety of postures, elegant and beautiful, capable and old, as if they are strong old soldiers guarding the desert, and these strong old soldiers have become the eternal terracotta warriors and horses on the desert.
The forest of dead trees was very silent, and the silence was eerie. Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed over, causing Cao Ni to shiver in fright. Shanwa hurried to catch up, only to see a black shadow circling around in the forest of dead trees, flickering and flickering. Cao Ni also caught up with Shanwa, and the two outflanked in a roundabout way, gradually approaching the black shadow. Shanwa shouted, "Who is it? Stop, if you don't stand again, I'll set you on fire. ”
Once the fire starts, this dead tree forest will be a sea of fire, in the boundless sea of fire, even the gods can not escape, the black shadow is so frightened that it immediately stopped, the mountain baby fixed its eyes, it turned out that the black shadow was a honey badger, and carefully smelled, the honey badger's body still exuded the smell of honey. The honey badger has smooth gray and black fur, a long thief-headed mouse face, but its body is very strong, and its two small eyes look straight at the mountain baby, looking extremely fierce.
Shanwa was overjoyed and said, "Oh, honey badger, I see where you are fleeing." ”
The honey badger didn't say a word, hunched over, and kept staring at the mountain baby with two small eyes.
Shanwa said, "Did you steal the honey from the honey conference?" ”
The honey badger still didn't make a sound, and while Shanwa was unprepared, it suddenly jumped up and kicked it into Shanwa's crotch, just kicking the vital point of the third baby, Shanwa screamed in pain, and fainted instantly. Cao Ni saw that Shanwa fainted, and she couldn't care about the honey badger, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help Shanwa. The honey badger took the opportunity to run away again.
Cao Ni pinched Shanwa's acupoint again, and pressed her heart, and after a while, Shanwa slowly woke up. Cao Ni asked, "How are you?" Where's the injury? ”
Shanwa said: "Let the honey badger kick the thigh, it's not a big problem, it's just that you can't walk for the time being." ”
Cao Ni said, "Let the camel carry you." ”
Shanwa said, "I ride a camel and let you walk, how bad is that." ”
"If you don't ride a camel, none of us can walk." Then she said to the camel, "Carry him on your sadd." When the camel heard the command, he fell meekly to the ground.
In order to hurry and catch up with the honey badger as soon as possible, Shanwa no longer pushed, and with the help of Cao Ni, he rode on a camel. The camel slowly stood up and began to walk forward.
Walking out of the forest of dead trees, they followed the claw prints of the honey badger. In front of you is the continuous sand dunes, looking at the past, a vast sea of sand waves, the peaks are steep, the sand ridges are like blades, and the ripples like flowing sand disappear into the distance, as if dreaming of the sea. The sand beams are like falling red scarves, and the towering sand peaks are like magnificent pyramids.
The desert was so hot that the sand on the surface looked as if it had just been fried in a hot pan, making it difficult to get off your feet, and the sun overhead was unusually hot. After a while, Cao Ni walked away sweating profusely and thirsty. She said, "I'm dying of thirst, I can't walk." ”
Shanwa stopped the camel, slid down with a bow, then patted the camel and asked, "Do you know where there is water?" ”
The camel looked up for a moment, then walked towards a sand nest. Shanwa and Caoni followed closely behind the camels. The camel came to a stop at the bottom of the sand nest, and there was nothing but some camel thorns growing in the sand nest.
