Chapter 50: Oasis I
"Woo ......" a desert man-eating insect burst out of a nearby dune cave, looking like an oversized caterpillar, with a body three points fatter than the thickest python on earth, and thirteen pairs of claws on the front and back.
A large round mouth was covered with five circles of teeth inside and out, and these teeth were very sharp, and if anyone fell into this mouth, it was estimated that they would be cut into minced meat at once, and there would not be a single intact bone left.
"Smack! Syllable! ......"Huang Jie did something casually, but don't get me wrong, this is not the kind of snap you think, it's just that there are electric sparks condensed in his palms."
Under a lightning strike, the big bug was immediately scorched by the electricity, although the bug has a low IQ, but also instinctively knows that there is a bad guy in the team to be messed with, and immediately turned around and fled.
Huang Jie immediately continued to strike lightning, and after four blows in a row, the big insect that finally failed to escape back into the cave finally died.
A number of warriors immediately stepped forward and cut open the large worm, and out of the twelve sections of the body nineteen pieces of raw flesh, there should have been twenty-four, and several pieces had been burned by the electric current.
I heard from the soldiers under his command that this meat can be eaten without cooking, and it is also called "worm slices" after being cut into thin slices.
This name easily reminds Huang Jie of the time when he was on earth, there was an island food called "sashimi"? But back then, I heard that sashimi is not clean, and it is easy to get sick if you eat too much, how about this raw worm slic?
Anyway, Huang Jie doesn't eat it, eating raw meat always makes him feel a little awkward, but he doesn't want to stop his subordinates from doing this, anyway, they like it, and they can consume less meat in dry food, like smoked meat, cured meat, and the like.
At this time, it was already three days after the departure, and the team had eaten raw worm tablets many times, because the place where Huang Jie's team walked was often not a standard route in the desert, it was very remote, and the team was very easy to alarm something, so from time to time they would encounter monsters.
However, when marching along the way, whenever a monster in the desert jumped out and wanted to attack Huang Jie's team, as long as Huang Jie came over, he had to rush to shoot and send out a magic attack.
In this way, two-thirds of the monsters encountered along the way were killed by Huang Jie, and for a leader who commanded more than a thousand people, he was too thoughtful, at least in the feelings of others.
Even the team members around him put forward their opinions: "King, this can't be done, we know that you want the soldiers to fight less in the desert and save some physical strength, but it's like taking care of a child, and the soldiers don't feel right." ”
"Yes, in fact, with such a strong team as ours, as long as we don't encounter truly powerful monsters, it won't take much effort, so why do we have to fight the king himself? That's not what you are! ”
……
This makes sense, but how did they know that Huang Jie was not only practicing magic, but also trying to master the zero energy, simply put, he was practicing.
Well, this feels different from the fantasy text I've seen before, the Xianxia text or something? The protagonists in those texts practice internal strength, immortal law or something, aren't they all the kind that sit cross-legged with white smoke emitting from their heads? Sometimes you have to retreat or something.
But what is my practice? Of course, external skills are sometimes practiced in battle, but what am I practicing now? Trying to master some kind of energy? Is this external or internal?
Forget it, how he defines it! Anyway, I'm a pioneer now, and everything is my own research, as for my subordinates who think I'm fighting or something, whatever, whatever they think.
At this time, there was only one sun in the sky, and it was a good time to hurry, and the whole team was on the march, except for a three-minute stop when cutting raw worm slices, well, the soldiers were very skilled in dissecting large insects, of course, provided that they had been killed.
The rules of desert marching on the earth, late at night is not a very suitable time, because it is too cold and it is easy to get lost, but in this desert it is completely different.
In this desert world, because there are so many suns, there is almost no real night, and when all seven suns set, it will only happen once in more than two months after Earth time.
The way to march in the desert of this world is very simple, that is, when the sun is more abundant, set up a tent to rest, and when the sun is less, the less the sun, the better.
And the environment here is much harsher than the earth's desert, if it is replaced by the earth's people and animals will not be able to support it, even the best camels on the earth will die of exhaustion and heat in the desert.
Another day passed, and three of Huang Jie's team were getting more and more unable to hold on, and Kara, who had no strength, was equivalent to an ordinary earth girl, and she was still a little delicate, and she was the first to faint.
Then there was Jia Xu, and then Xun You, although he wore a strength belt, which only increased his strength, but the real physique and health status would not change.
And then not only them, but the four generals of the Three Kingdoms World are also gradually starting to feel uncomfortable, okay, although they are strong, they are not people from this world, and their adaptability is not as high as the humans here.
After all, they were well prepared, and the team had a lot of water belts, and in addition to drinking, they could be sprinkled with some water to cool down at any time, but in such a hot desert, it was still impossible to maintain it by relying on this method alone.
Looking back now, Huang Jie's request to escape with Hans's father and daughter was actually not the right decision, because Huang Jie, who was still an ordinary human on the earth at that time, couldn't survive in the desert, and he didn't expect this at the time.
Looking back, Hans cowardly stayed in the city, judging from the final result, it was a correct decision, this is really unpredictable, right and wrong are really difficult to say, to be honest, Huang Jie, who now knows the situation, really doesn't know how to choose if he goes back and chooses again.
Seeing Kara lying on Chitu's horse like a wilted cabbage, looking half-dead, even if she was wetted all over her body, Huang Jie felt very heartbroken.
I wondered if it was the right decision to bring her with me, if I left her in the City of Hope...... However, many choices are very difficult, and since the decision has been made, there is no turning back.
Besides, who knows if every choice is right or wrong? Just like Hans's decision to stay in the city, isn't it the right thing to think about now?
If you regret it now, will you go back and go back to the City of Hope for another three days? Huang Jie thought about it and snorted softly: "I can't go back now, if I really want to make that kind of decision, my brain will be in water." ”
"Do you think your brain isn't in the water?" Suddenly, I heard a mocking voice from the system: "I entered 27,800 catties of water, isn't it considered water in my brain?" ”
Is it? Huang Jie smiled dumbly and found that what he said was indeed good, one hundred and seventy or eighty bags of water were stored in the inventory, but that inventory was in the zero energy in the brain domain, in the brain, so it was indeed in the brain, and it was more than 20,000 catties, which was not bad at all.
"If I use the healing secrets, can I cure them back?" Huang Jie asked, he has three secret secrets at present, and it is not a problem to spend once for this.
The system replied: "I'm sorry, the effectiveness of this treatment is limited, if you are injured, as long as the team members are not very strong, no matter how serious the injury is, you can cure it, but aging, weakness and the like, the secret can't cure it." ”
