Maybe he was tired, Ganu walked in front without saying a word, and his originally cheerful pace slowed down. But even so, Da Lei and Xiao Hai were still out of breath, and they still couldn't keep up with him.

It's noon, and the sun is blazing overhead. It is said that two-thirds of the human body is water, and Da Lei feels that the water in his body has already been dried at this moment.

"Brother, do you want to drink some water?" Xiao Hai next to him took out the kettle and asked.

"Nope." Da Lei waved his hand: "Save it, I can bear it." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Hai's hand that originally raised the kettle stopped at his mouth, he licked the dry skin of his mouth, paused, and slowly put down the kettle and screwed the lid.

I didn't feel so hot in the village before, and I thought I was used to the climate here, damn it..... Da Lei wiped the sweat that flowed to the corners of his eyes, he was obviously about to dry out, how could this sweat beads flow endlessly!

Before they knew it, they had been away from the village for three days, and during this time they had been following Ganu all the time, almost silently in order to save their strength. In the evening, when the weather is cooler, the rest of the family will chat, nothing more than how long to walk, whether this direction is right, and the planning and fantasy of going out.

It should be soon...

Da Lei looked at Ganu's back and nodded secretly.

Xiao Hai had said before that Ganu had walked for three days and saw a row of small houses, and although it was far away, he was sure that those buildings were something he had not seen before.

But....

Now that I think about it carefully, based on this, what Canu saw at that time would be the border of Ruoqiang County....

Is it too simple to think for yourself? After all, it's only been three days.... Besides, it was already the third day, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the boundless yellow sand.

Alas... These contradictory thoughts seem to be villains in a boxing match, fighting in their heads every day, no one wins or loses, and they all die in the end anyway.

"Goo.... Grunt...."A hoarse voice came from above.

"Brother, it's that bird again." Xiao Hai raised his head and pointed to the black dot and said.

"Hmm." Da Lei nodded, the beast had been following them since they left the village, always hovering over them, constantly screaming and roaring.

Da Lei was a little numb.

After walking for a while, he found that there seemed to be something empty around him, Da Lei turned his head and saw Xiao Hai behind him standing motionless like a tree stump, sweating profusely and squinting his eyes and looking up at the sky.

"Ignore it." Da Lei hurriedly returned and dragged Xiaohai forward impatiently, how old he was, and he was as curious about everything as a child. "Vultures eat corpses, this beast looks like it's been hungry for a long time, it must be waiting for us to die, it's delicious and ready-made."

"Brother." Xiao Hai looked up at it and said, "I always feel that it doesn't look like a vulture, it doesn't look like an eagle, it can't say what it is... Although the body type is very similar, the appearance.... It's really not quite like .... And the sound it screamed at .... How can a vulture call that..."

"There are so many varieties in the animal kingdom, maybe it's a vulture, or some other bird, but it doesn't look like a good stubble. Also, what do you call it, it may be that the hungry voice changes, and if you are hungry to a certain extent, you also change your voice. Alright, let's go. ”

After saying a few words, Da Lei suddenly felt that a nameless fire was spurting out of his throat, and his mouth was so dry that he didn't have the right to swallow saliva. The hand that was holding Xiao Hai tightly was even hot, sticky, and uncomfortable. After walking for a while, he let go.

Xiao Hai was very dissatisfied with Da Lei's perfunctory explanation, but he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only smash his mouth and bow his head helplessly.

From sunrise to sunset, from early morning to dusk, whenever this time, Da Lei feels that the desert is particularly beautiful. The distant horizon connects to the pink of the sunset, shrouding the desert in cyan. The sky gradually fell into black, the half-black sky revealed the warm yellow back of the day, and several colors converged like rolling waves, turning in circles in front of you, and finally swallowed by the night, turning into a ruthless and endless night.

Why didn't you notice it before, it's so beautiful......

Da Lei held a withered grass in his mouth, lying on the soft and slightly cool desert looking up at the night sky, enjoying the only comfort of the day. Xiao Hai struggled to light a fire next to him, and it took a long time to light it. Then he sat down and sighed: "It's hot during the day, and I have to light a fire to keep warm at night... Alas..."

"Ganu, how long do we have to go?" Da Lei turned his head and asked.

Ganu chewed the rice in his mouth, and Ula Ula didn't hear what Da Lei said, so he saw him stretch out his hand and point into the distance.

"Where is it?" Da Lei looked in the direction of Ganu's finger, black rumbling.

"Hmm!" Canu nodded.

"Not far away, right?"

"Hmm!"

Alas... It's a cookie-cutter conversation every night. Da Lei blinked his eyes, thinking about whether this direction was right or not, and he still remembered that on the first night, he asked Ganu: "Which direction are we going?" ”

Ganu replied, "Go the other way." ”

Cut! Which side is on the other side?!

But after the last lesson, I was really scared, and I was really afraid that I would accidentally walk into an ancient tomb and not be able to get out...... So now, I can only follow Ganu.

"Brother." Xiao Hai saw Da Lei's thoughts, patted him and said with relief: "Don't think about it anymore, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, look at the two of us, which time is not the tiger's mouth escape?" Besides, the road is calm, which means that it is a good sign! ”

As soon as the words fell, a huge roar suddenly came, like a roar, like a lion's roar, like a tiger's roar, although there was only one, it was like a hundred fierce beasts roaring, breaking through the night. After the earthquake, the desert became more silent and eerie, Da Lei stood up suddenly, looking around vigilantly, and Ganu hid behind Da Lei in fear.

"This.... Where did this sound come from? Xiao Hai asked confusedly.

Da Lei didn't speak, held his breath and pricked up his ears to find the source of the sound carefully, and there was no movement after that sound, and the night at this moment seemed to be a huge black curtain of hidden crisis, and it didn't know when it would make waves.

"It's not like it's something...?" Xiao Hai asked humbly: "But we have said so many times before that we want to get out of the desert, and we haven't necessarily achieved it, how can we say that this came quite quickly!" What the hell! What should come is not coming, and what should not be coming is always there! It's bad luck....."

"Shhhh Listen! Da Lei turned his head and glared at Xiao Hai fiercely, signaling him to shut up quickly.

..... The sound is here again!

This time it wasn't as violent as before, as if it was wheezing, and it wasn't particularly easy to discern intermittently, but the voice... It seems to be coming from all directions, and it seems to be coming from somewhere again...

"Uncle..."Ganu tugged at the corner of Da Lei's clothes, Da Lei subconsciously hugged him, only to find that the child was trembling all over.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Da Lei comforted him softly.

"No," Canu said cautiously, "Voice.... The sound came from underground...."

What the?! Da Lei hurriedly lay on the ground and listened, his face became very bad, his eyes widened, and his voice... Sure enough, the sound came from underground! Worst! Not good!

"Run!" Da Lei just finished shouting, before he could stand up, suddenly, with a loud bang, the calm ground turned into a wave and began to shake violently, tens of thousands of yellow sand were shaken in the air, the servants couldn't stand at all, the rumbling vibration sound intensified, Da Lei fell down and didn't wait to stand up before he was thrown into the air by the rolling ground, the sand slapped frantically on him and couldn't open his eyes at all, the cries of Canu and Xiaohai hovered in his ears, and soon he was drowned out by this wave of weird roars.

"Click, click."

This voice surprised Da Lei, not good! The ground is cracking!

Da Lei fell to the ground again, regardless of the pain on his body, he hurriedly got up, the hand supporting the ground had already touched the crack, and if he continued like this, he would definitely die!

He ran frantically towards Xiao Hai and grabbed his hand: "Quick! Come on! The ground is cracking! ”

The roar of the cloud-piercing stone came from the ground again, this time more ferocious than before. The cracks in the ground have gradually widened, and the once calm sandy land has turned into patches of loess.

At this time, the shaking ground suddenly calmed down, and the wild sand raging in mid-air also crackled and fell to the ground, the sudden silence made the two of them stunned, Ganu was covered in injuries, he got up from the ground and ran towards the two of them, shouting: "Hurry up...... Run! ”

Da Lei came back to his senses, pulled up Xiaohai and ran quickly, ran two steps and suddenly turned back, picked up Canu and ran frantically into the distance.

"Ah--!h Xiao Hai fell to the ground with a scream, he raised his head and looked at Da Lei in pain and shouted at him: "Brother, leave me alone, run!" I... My leg is caught in the cracks in the ground! ”

"What?!" Da Lei hurriedly returned, kneeling next to Xiao Hai's legs, only to see that one of his calves was tightly stuck in the crack, as time passed, Xiao Hai became more and more painful, Da Lei put his hand into the crack in the ground, trying to hold up Xiao Hai's leg so that he could come out, but it was too stuck, and he couldn't take it out for a while, Xiao Hai pushed Da Lei away and shouted: "I told you to leave me alone, take Ganu away now!" ”

"Bastard!" Da Lei scolded him, then took out the scimitar given by the sixth child from his pocket, and said to Xiao Hai: "Bear with it!" ”

"You... What are you doing?! Xiao Hai had a premonition that something was wrong and asked in horror.

"Chop off your legs! Feel relieved! This knife is very fast, don't blame me, you won't be able to get out if you don't do it! How could I leave you alone! As he spoke, Da Lei took the knife and was about to stab Xiao Hai in the leg.

"Ah--! Other... Don't! Xiao Hai hurriedly shook his head, so frightened that even his voice changed, and at this moment, the ground began to shake again! Da Lei staggered and sat on the ground, the crack gradually became larger, Xiao Hai hurriedly pulled out his leg, Da Lei put away the knife and pulled him to run, but in this case, it was even difficult to walk, let alone run? !

The servants even crawled and rolled, but they were still being toyed with by this land. Immediately after, there was another roar, and the stones in the sand nest were turned into pieces, and a huge black foreign object suddenly rose from the crack, shaking in the air, the roar became louder and louder, and the earthquake became more and more powerful, only to see a huge body crawl out of the shattered ground, and the huge black object just now turned out to be its tail!

The monster was black, with limbs like pillars of iron, and claws like rocks. Every time he moved, the ground shook the sky, and his body was huge, his eyes were blood-red, and he was still glowing in the dark night! It was very terrifying, the sound was like the roar of a million beasts, and the tongue that spit out was still dripping with a fishy smell.

Its waving tail formed a storm in mid-air, rolling up the yellow sand and circling endlessly, and it actually swept up the big Lei and the others into the air together! They could not open their eyes in this whirlpool, only heard the incessant roar of anger in their ears.

Suddenly, there was a "snap", a huge force struck, Da Lei didn't have time to react, he was in severe pain, his brain was buzzing, and then he fell heavily to the ground, his eyes were full of stars, his stomach turned over and over, and he turned around and spit on the ground with blood and sour water.

This spit sobered up a little, Da Lei wiped his mouth, looked at the monster that was still raging not far away, and then realized that he was hit on the ground by its tail.

Ganu was lying on the side, he coughed and clutched his chest and opened his eyes, Da Lei hurriedly helped him up and asked, "How is it?!" ”

Ganu shook his head and replied weakly, "It's okay..."

Da Lei nodded, then looked around, but didn't see Xiaohai!

Worst! Da Lei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Xiaohai!" Xiaohai! ”

"Shhhhhh Ahem.. Uncle..."Canu stretched out his hand and grabbed Da Lei, and hurriedly said: "Dangerous.... Danger...."

But Da Lei didn't care so much at the moment, and when he thought of the last time he was in the ancient tomb, he stepped into it and was separated from Xiao Hai for four years, and his heart was sudden.

Don't let anything happen this time....

"Ah---! Save... Help me! ”

This is the voice of Xiaohai!

"Xiaohai!! Where are you!! Da Lei looked around, so anxious that he turned around, but he just couldn't see Xiaohai!

The monster looked up to the sky and roared, suddenly the thunder rolled, the lightning flashed, a cold current surged from all directions, and even the exhaled gas was white, this abnormal climate change made Da Lei feel shocked, he looked at the behemoth in front of him, thinking what kind of play this is!

"Brother... I'm here!! I... Ahh--!!!hh Da Lei couldn't hear the next words clearly, and Xiao Hai's screams made him even more worried, but the most terrifying thing was that Da Lei found out that the source of the sound was actually from the monster......

"Ganu, stay here!" Da Lei settled him, took out the sharp knife again, held it tightly, and ran in the direction of the monster!

When I got closer, I saw that the monster had its back to him, and kept demonstrating and roaring at Xiao Hai who had fallen to the ground, and Xiao Hai's leg was injured and he couldn't stand up at all, his face was already deformed with horror, and he couldn't speak, he could only whine and shout.

"Brute!" Da Lei picked up a broken stone and threw it at the monster: "It's kind of coming at me!" Your father and I are here! ”

It's a pity that the stone is too small, and there is no reaction when it hits it, so Da Lei picked up many large pieces and threw them over with the strength of milk.

The monster finally reacted, turned its head and roared frantically at Da Lei, slimy saliva flowed out of its mouth and dripped on Da Lei, wrapping him up and down so that he couldn't move, and then the monster shook its tail, hit Da Lei into the air again, and then slapped it on the ground, this time it was worse than last time, Da Lei's chest had a sharp pain, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The strange thing is that this monster did not attack him again, but still walked towards Xiao Hai step by step, Da Lei twisted his body frantically, but he didn't know what liquid was flowing in this monster's mouth, and he wrapped himself motionless like super glue.

Small... Xiaohai..!!!

Deep despair pierced Da Lei's heart, he closed his eyes painfully, is this time really goodbye....

The roar of the monster came from his ears again, but the voice changed, not as imposing as before, but screaming and screaming, Da Lei was wondering, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and then with a loud bang, he saw that the monster was facing the ground in all corners, and the ground shook even more, Da Lei was shocked and bounced up, and hit his head on a large gravel, which made him grin in pain.

The monster whined, and then where it fell, a strong stream of sand formed and spun in circles.

Not good! Da Lei was shocked, he was going to be involved!

He twisted his body desperately, helplessly just a drop in the bucket, suddenly there was a force from both armpits, dragging himself upward, Da Lei raised his head, and saw a strange man, his thick beard covering his eyes.

The strange man dragged himself hard, Da Lei wanted to cooperate with him, but he was warned: "Don't move!" The more you do this, the more I can't hold you! ”

After a long time, he dragged himself to safety, and then lay on the ground, panting and said, "No, I'm too tired, let me rest for a while..."

Da Lei just wanted to say thank you, but when he looked up, he saw that the monster was actually swept into the whirlpool! The ground was calm again, and the cracks in the ground had closed at some point, and the sky was getting brighter, and there was no change except for a few embarrassed people, as usual.

"Uncle..!" Canu staggered over, still holding a torch in his hand, and then rushed towards Da Lei.

"What are you going to do?! You want to burn me...."Before Da Lei finished speaking, he saw that the slimy liquid on his body turned into a web when the fire approached, and it dissolved like a spider's web in a short time.

He was stunned for a moment, then tried to raise his hand, and found that he could move, so he hurriedly stood up, and looked back at the strange man who had fallen to the ground, with a heavy beard, eyebrows, and hair, but his eyes were surprisingly small, and the whole person looked strange.

"Dude, thank you so much just now for saving my life." Da Lei said.

"You're welcome." The man was still a little panting when he spoke, he paused and said, "If you want to thank Chen Lao." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side.

Da Lei raised his head and saw an old man about sixty years old opposite, who was bandaging Xiaohai's wounds.

"Xiaohai!" Da Lei hurriedly ran over, and when he saw that his younger brother was safe and sound, he let out a long breath, "I'm scared to death.. It's okay, uncle, thank you two for saving us. ”

"It's a trivial matter, but the ancient beast of the 'Desert Demon Wind' can also be encountered by you, and it can be regarded as winning the lottery." The old man waved his hand and smiled disappreccantly.

"Desert Demon Wind?" Da Lei wondered.

"Yes, you haven't heard of it?" The old man asked.

"Nope." Da Lei shook his head.

"This beast is not a fierce beast, nor is it a divine beast, it has been living in the desert underground, the cry is like a hundred beasts roaring, there must be a strong wind howling in the place where it appears, and the wind and sand are raging, so it is called 'desert demon wind'. It is afraid of fire, and a little spark can make it retreat. I've seen it in a book, but I didn't expect to see it in real life, and this guy has to be thousands of years old. ”

"It's not fierce?" Xiao Hai smiled bitterly and said: "It screamed and screamed like crazy, and that big long tail almost didn't kill me." ”

"It is rumored that there is a big sacred object in the desert, called 'Man Gu', which only opens once in ten years and withers in one day. And the desert demon wind is extremely sensitive to the smell of the Man Gu, so it must be this play that should lead it out. After speaking, Chen Lao raised his head, looked at Da Lei and the others and asked, "Does anyone of you have Man Gu on you?" ”

"No, we only have Manbai on us." Da Lei opened the cloth bag and handed it over to Chen Lao.

"This game should also be called Luo Yusha." It was the young man who spoke, he didn't know when he stood behind him, and said, "It's also called Manbai, but it's far worse than Mangu, it's strange, it's definitely not this one that led it out." ”

"Do you know a lot about that?" Da Lei is interested, it is already rare to meet other people in this place, not to mention people who know this knowledge.

"No, so-so." The man replied modestly: "By the way, my name is Wu Zi, and over there is Chen Lao, my uncle." ”

"My name is Da Lei, and this is my younger brother Xiaohai, as well as Ganu. How did you end up in the desert, and is there anyone else? ”

"Alas...," Wu Zi sighed: "No, just the two of us, come to the desert to find someone." ”

"Looking for someone?"

"Yes, find my son and daughter-in-law." Chen Lao stood up and said with a serious face: "My son's name is Chen Han, he is about the same height as you, and he wears glasses. My daughter-in-law's name is Zhu Yun, and she is older than you, have you seen it? ”
