41. Flat thunder

As soon as it rolled down the dune, the dog herd surrounded it, protected it, and glared at Yan Jun with bared teeth, as if to warn.

There were also a few sturdy dogs, looking up to the sky and wailing, and the dogs besieging the camp suddenly receded like a tide.

At this moment, a red glow appeared in the east.

The golden-red sun, like a large egg yolk, emerged from the end of the rolling sea of sand.

With that moment of light, Yan Jun saw the appearance of the dog king below.

The beast, who had grown up without knowing what to eat, was twice as tall as an ordinary dog, with a huge body and strong limbs, and a circle larger than a calf.

Yan Jun's ** shot, he didn't kill it, his two hind legs swung and miraculously climbed up again!

There was a large pool of blood flowing from under it, but it didn't seem to realize it, and looked back at the majestic figure on the broken wall, and its eyes flashed with hatred!

Yan Jun naturally saw it clearly, and immediately sneered: "Good brute, it's quite grudge against him, it seems that I can't let you go!" ”

The poor dog king didn't know that the evil star was on his orders, and he limped away into the distance surrounded by several big dogs.

The rest of the dogs stopped attacking, and dragged most of their companions' carcasses with them before retreating.

Food is hard to find in the desert, and if a dog fails to hunt, the dead companion becomes a feast.

This is the cruel law of nature, and at some point, even humans can't get rid of it, let alone these wild beasts.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, successfully repelled the canine attack, the archaeological team suffered no casualties, reward: Encyclopedia of Desert Species. ”

The canines are gone, and the rewards are in hand!

Yan Jun glanced in the direction of the camp, and when he saw that everyone was slumped on the ground, he turned his head back and stared at the giant dog that was gradually moving away.

"Rather than leaving a legacy of endless disasters, it is better to do nothing and keep going..."

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and the Remington and sapper shovels in his hands suddenly disappeared, leaving another thing in his hand.

Boom!!!

There was a thunderclap on the ground!

A dazzling white lightning bolt pierced the dawn and shot at the giant dog guarded by the dogs! A distance of nearly three hundred meters was crossed in an instant!

The giant dog was shocked by the gunshot, and looked back at dusk, but was hit by the white light in the center of his eyebrows, and one of his heads exploded into a blood mist on the spot!

The headless dog corpse was carried out several meters away by a huge force, fell into the yellow sand, and was no longer motionless.

"Whew~"

As soon as the dog king died, the remaining hundreds of dogs were so frightened that they didn't even care about the big meal, and spread their legs to make birds and beasts.

Yan Jun was shaken back two steps by the huge recoil, hurriedly collected the P41 anti-tank gun, replaced it with a Remington and a sapper shovel, and walked towards the corpse of the dog king.

In just ten minutes, a life-and-death crisis has passed.

Because of the guns, the archaeological team did not suffer any casualties, but the loss of camels and supplies was not small.

In the confusion just now, a male camel broke free from Anliman's control, jumped out of the camp, was scratched by the dog, and fell in a pool of blood.

In addition, in a panic, it trampled on two large vats filled with clean water, causing the archaeological team's fresh water storage to plummet.

"Blessed Hu, we were not eaten by the dogs, but the poor camel, alas... I can't save it anymore. ”

An Liman was frightened, and while feeling sorry for his camel, he swept his eyes to the sand dunes of Siyan, for fear that some more fierce beasts would jump out.

Yan Jun beckoned Hu Bayi and the fat man, and dragged the body of the dog king back, saying that he was going to peel off the dog skin, dry it and bring it back as a souvenir.

An Liman didn't object this time.

"This can be had, the dog is a butcher in the desert, and Hu Da hates it very much, this is a great good deed."

The fat man had no heart or lungs, and teased: "Old man, you hate them for biting the camel to death, right?" In fact, we can also peel off the remaining dog skins and take them back and sell them to passing passengers, which is enough to compensate for your camel. ”

As soon as the words came out, their intentions were immediately exposed, and they were still rushing for money!

This dog king is very well developed, bigger than a leopard, such a big skin, sold to the inverted master in the capital, how can it be worth thousands of yuan.

"Oh, we're an archaeological working group, not a dog team, so how bad it is to do these things."

Professor Chen couldn't see the blood, so he asked Hao Jianguo to come over to dissuade him.

Hao Jianguo was grateful to Hu Bayi and the fat man for their rescue, and coaxed Professor Chen aside, and then whispered: "Comrade Hu, you want to skin dogs, I actually don't object to it, but the teacher is old and can't accept this kind of thing, you see..."

"The teacher is right."

Yan Jun stood up at this time, and then said: "That's it, old Hu, let's only skin the dog king and keep it as a memorial of this trip to the desert, and don't move the rest." ”

The fat man had already thrown himself to the ground with the five bodies that Yan Jun admired, and nodded immediately: "Okay!" You guys rest, I'm going to do this job with Lao Hu! ”

Hu Ba glared at him, and said in his heart, okay, you dead fat man specializes in cheating on his own people, Lao Tzu hasn't closed his eyes all night, why don't you say that you do it yourself, let me rest for a while?

After thinking about it, what should be done still had to be done, so he stood up, handed the gun to Yan Jun, rolled up his sleeves, and went to pick up the dog skin with the fat man.

Except for Professor Chen and Ye Yixin, who were frightened and fell asleep, everyone else was under the command of An Liman, re-tied the camels and sorted out the supplies.

This place is too bloody, and it won't be long before poisonous insects and beasts will be invited, as well as birds that eat carrion, and they must be transferred as soon as possible.

"Old man, these two buckets are rotten and can't be used, do you see the water we have left, is it enough?"

After the materials were loaded, Xue Liyang was not very comfortable with the fresh water, so she asked An Liman.

Anriman wasn't too worried.

Before leaving, he and Hu Bayi had already taken the unexpected situation into account, and the prepared water was enough to support 15 days, but now it may be shortened to 11 or 2 days, which is not too much of a problem.

The only thing he worries about is that after going deep into the desert, he will encounter any accidents, and then the real trouble will be.

Xue Li Yang raised the 56-2 in her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old man, I still have more than 100 rounds of ammunition here, what kind of dog sand leopard, as long as you dare to come, I guarantee one shot." ”

She didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she mentioned the gun, Sha Lipeng suddenly became energetic.

"Hey, by the way, Yan Jun, where did you get the gun?"

Seeing that Xue Liyang also cast her gaze, Yan Jun shrugged helplessly.

"I bought it on the black market in Chang'an, I almost died heroically in Kunlun Mountain last time, so I was thinking about getting a few guns to defend myself, but I didn't expect it to come in handy."

"Hey, look, our hero is back!"

As the saying goes, if you say too much, you will lose, Yan Jun didn't want to dwell on the issue of guns, and when he saw Huba turn back from behind the dunes, he immediately pulled the topic away.

"Pickpocket..."

Regarding his new nickname, Hu Bayi said that he was very helpless.

Everyone rested for a while, and when An Liman had propped up the dog skin, Professor Chen and the others were also shouted, and they all climbed on their camels, and marched into the depths of the desert again under the blazing sun.

In the next few days, the caravan of twenty-eight camels, like a flat boat in the sea, drifted and sunk, and it was not known when it would come to an end.

Thankfully, however, there were no beast attacks along the way.

…………

"Brother Yan, this is the delicious food I brought, I brought you some, you can taste it!"

Only then did Yan Jun see the small shortbread in Ye Yixin's hand, this is a pastry from Beiping, which is indeed not available in Xinjiang.

Yan Jun smiled and said, "This thing is indeed rare here, but you better keep it first, there is nothing in the desert, this bit of shortbread can be regarded as a rare delicacy." ”

"It's okay, Brother Yan, I still have a lot of them, I can get them for you at any time if you want to eat."

Seeing the girl's attentive smile, Yan Jun couldn't refuse, and after eating meat for a few days, it was rare to eat something else.

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful."

Just as Yan Jun went to get the cake, Ye Yixin suddenly saw some strange small bottles on Yan Jun's backpack.

The bottle seems to be stainless steel, slightly thicker than the thumb, but it's not that coarse, and I don't know what's inside?

You must know that although there is stainless steel in this year, stainless steel is not a roadside cargo, which is relatively rare.

"Brother Yan, what is this?"

Yan Jun looked back when he heard this, and he was shocked at a glance.

"Don't move!"

Yan Jun said that he had taken a quick step forward, and his hand instantly grabbed Ye Yixin's hand.

At this moment, Ye Yixin was a little aggrieved, what, he was so good to him, he was just curious about these small bottles, as for the fire?
