At that moment, a gray shadow flashed and struck the yellow-scaled snake, knocking it down on the sand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Run!" Dudian roared.

Macon came to his senses and hurried.

Dudian looked at the yellow-scaled snake that was wriggling and catching up, and turned around and ran without looking back, while clutching the thick wire coat twisted into a rope in his hand, which had been able to shoot down the yellow-scaled snake before, all thanks to the help of the coat.

Sou!

Dudian quickly overtook Macon and ran to the front, his endurance training run being the first in the dormitory.

After running for hundreds of meters, Dudian looked back, but saw that the yellow-scaled snake had lost its trace behind the last Macon, and he should have known that the hunt had failed, so he gave up decisively. After all, animals that survive in such a harsh environment often prefer to hunt with one hit, and consuming physical strength to hunt down prey is undoubtedly the stupidest hunting method.

Du Dian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't run, you didn't chase after you." ”

Macon and Sha and Zha were stunned for a moment, only then did they notice that the yellow-scaled snake behind them did not continue to chase, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment, several people only felt deep exhaustion welling up in their hearts, their whole bodies were sore, their throats were dry, and they were thirsty and hot.

"Scared the hell out of me." Zaci patted his chest with palpitations.

"Take a break, I'm tired." Sham gasped.

Macon was a little frightened, and when he heard the words of the two, he suddenly looked up at Dudian, he gritted his teeth slightly, and said to Dudian: "Dean, you saved my life this time, what will ...... in the future?"

"Talk less." Dudian patted him on the shoulder, "Save your strength, don't stop, that snake is likely to continue to chase in the sand, this place is not out of its hunting range, and the time is not early, we must find the water source as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to survive tonight." With that, continue to lead the way in front.

Macon looked at his back, gritted his teeth slightly, and followed.

Zachi and Sham looked at each other, remembering the cowardice of their previous hesitation, and bowed their heads in shame, saying nothing, silently following Dudian.

A few people followed the sand road and continued westward, all the way full of sand grains and dried clods of soil, which made Mei, Sha, and Zha wonder if they had chosen the wrong direction, and if they had changed directions, would they have been able to find a water source?

However, at Dudian's insistence, there was no change of direction in the end.

By dusk, several people were already tired and dying, sweating profusely, their faces were flushed, and their marching speed had been reduced to one-tenth of that of when they first came to the desert, almost at the speed of a turtle.

"Found it!" In vain, Dudian's voice sounded in front of him.

Mei, Sha, and Zha were numb, like corpses, but when they heard this, they seemed to come to life immediately, and hope burst out in their dry eyes.

"Where?" Macon said hurriedly.

Dudian raised his hand and pointed to a small dirt slope in front of him, and not far from the dirt slope, there were some dry green grasses and cacti, which were very common plants in the desert.

"Plants, plants!!" Mei, Sha, and Zha suddenly became excited.

Du Dian also showed a smile on his face, and said, "Let's start planing, there must be a water source under the plant!" With that, he took the lead and came to one of the tufts of green grass and plowed, and instructed, "Be careful, there may be something else lurking here." ”

When the three Macons heard this, the excitement on their faces suddenly cooled, and they looked around nervously.

It didn't take long for Dudian to dig out the moist sand under the green grass, and after another half a meter of shaving, he finally saw the water source, but it was extremely scarce and mixed with sand.

"How's that going to happen?" The three Macon were dumbfounded.

Dudian did not speak, shook off the coat that had beaten the yellow-scaled snake before, jumped down and took out a handful of water mixed with sand, put it in his coat, and then twisted the coat and attached it to the bottom with his mouth, and soon, the water filtered down the wool of the coat flowed down as he tightened his coat.

After a thirsty afternoon, this simply filtered water is simply delicious.

After taking a few sips, Du Dian didn't continue, but licked his lips with water, then climbed up and said, "Don't drink too much at one time, just keep the basic consumption of your body." ”

With admiration in their eyes, the three Macons learned Dudian's method by holding the grains of sand mixed with water into their coats and filtering them for drinking.

"This grass should be edible." Dudian pulled out the tuft of green grass, looked at the grass roots covered with wet soil, kneaded the wet soil on it, broke it off, and saw that there was no colored juice flowing out of it, and immediately bit one with his mouth, chewed it gently, faintly sweet in his mouth, and a little jerky, he chewed it carefully, and swallowed it.

Seeing that Dudian was chewing with relish, the three of Macon also broke off the grass roots and ate them.

"It's bitter!"

"It's unpalatable!"

Zachi and Sham laughed bitterly, but chewed and swallowed anyway.

Du Dian looked at the sky and said, "Let's spend the night here tonight, you pick up some dry firewood and light the fire at night, in addition, the four of us have to take turns on duty every night, who is the first to come first today, and those who want to be on duty should go to sleep first now and replenish some energy." ”

"I'll come tonight," said Macon, "and if you go to sleep, we don't know what to do." ”

Dudian nodded, "Then you go and rest, Zachi will go find dry wood, and Sham will build a shelter with me and find some stones." With his arrangement, several people began to get busy.

……

……

On the edge of the desert, there is a lonely tavern.

Under the erosion of wind and sand, the tavern is dilapidated, and the windows and doors have been repeatedly repaired with wooden planks. At this moment, two figures, a man and a woman, sat in the tavern, drinking cold wheat beer.

"You say, out of three hundred and sixty, how many of them will survive tonight?" Chrissy gently flicked the ice cubes in the wooden cup with a dagger, and said with a smile.

Tobu smiled indifferently and said, "It's definitely more than you think." ”

"Really?" Chrissy raised her eyebrows and teased, "Why don't you make a bet?" ”

"How to bet?" Tob was interested.

"Just bet on how many people will stay in 10 days." Chrissy narrowed her eyes and said, "I'll bet two hundred." ”

Tobu smiled and said, "Then I'll bet three hundred." ”

"Oh?" Chrissy squinted at him, "You seem to have a lot of confidence in your students, but this time you're going to lose." ”

After drinking the beer in his cup, Tobu said indifferently: "How can you see it?" ”

"Giggle...... Chrissy covered her lips with the back of her hand and chuckled, "Don't you know that this desert was ten years ago, but the territory of the Ryan family, it was one of the six most prosperous places in the business district, but it was destroyed by the evil alchemist, not only the Ryan family was destroyed, but this territory was also completely desertified and became a forbidden land under the evil power of the alchemist." ”

Tob said indifferently: "I knew this ten years ago, because I was there at that time. ”

Chrissy chuckled and said, "But you don't know, although the evil alchemist was killed by the Holy See of Light, but now other alchemists think that there is still the evil power left by the alchemist in this desert, and they quietly gather here, but they don't know that their small actions have long been seen by the Holy See of Light." ”

Tob's face changed suddenly, "What do you mean?!" ”

"This time, the Holy See of Light is going to exterminate the alchemists here, but they are acting in concealment, and if they take the liberty of sending the Knights of Light over, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, so as usual, this place is still used as an assessment place for scavengers, and use these baits to lure them, I believe that those alchemists will never miss such a good opportunity in vain!" Chrissy smiled.
