Chapter 210: A Puddle in the Sand
Joan was exposed to the hot sun, he didn't want to think about anything, he just wanted to drink water now, but there was a dusk desert in front of him, he no longer felt new and excited like he had just entered the desert, and now he was thinking about how to get out, or how to find a place with water.

Golden Mercury and Xia Zhi were tired and hungry because they had been fighting with giant insects for a long time, and the most serious thing was that there was not a drop of water in Golden Mercury's kettle.
As he walked, he cried out that he was hungry, but the camels carrying the food were gone.
Qiao An looked at Jin Mercury's appearance, so she took out the eggs and ham that were hidden in her clothes pocket at noon and handed them to Jin Mercury.
Jin Mercury hurriedly snatched it and devoured it, as long as people are hungry, any food is delicious, just such a ham and egg are a hundred times more delicious than the full banquet of the Manchurians.
Qiao An looked at Jin Mercury's appearance and smiled bitterly, because this was their last food, and if they wanted to eat again, they would have to catch some sand scorpions hidden in the sand and eat them like the villagers of Buried Wind Village.
And there is no wood in this desert, even if you catch a sand scorpion, you can only eat it raw, which is the most tragic thing.
After eating the ham and eggs, still unsatisfied, Golden Mercury asked Joan, "Is there anything else?" ”
Joan shook her head and sighed, after a while, it would be night, and the direction in which they traveled was determined by the direction in which the sun set, and as soon as the sun set, they could only look at the stars to discern the direction.
The desert at night is said to be cool, and this time they want to experience it.
Qiao An and his group walked listlessly towards the northwest, Zhang Xuqiu and Luo Beixi led the camel, and Yun Caiyao rode the camel by herself, very leisurely.
Just as a few people were walking a distance, Joan was surprised to find a snake hovering in the sand, and when Mercury saw the snake, it was like seeing food, and said, "Catch it quickly." ”
Xia Zhi played with the retractable iron rod in his hand and said, "This snake should be going to hunt, let's just follow it." ”
Xia Zhi is worthy of being a veteran of adventure, he can actually tell what the animal is going to do according to the animal's form and movements, and Qiao An and the others followed closely behind the snake.
I didn't go far, but in front of the desert, there was a huge puddle, near this puddle, there were many animals gathered there to drink water, next to the puddle, there were a few dry trees, around the puddle, there was a small amount of green vegetation.
Joan looked at the puddle and said, "Is this the little oasis that Afiba said?" It's too small. ”
When Golden Mercury saw those animals, his eyes were green, and he wanted to catch something to eat.
I saw that the animals surrounded by the puddle were rabbits, gerbils, white birds, and the most striking thing was that there were two yellow sheep, Xia Zhi looked at these two yellow sheep, and was shocked, it seems that there must be an oasis near the puddle.
Two yellow sheep were drinking from the puddle with their heads down.
The saliva in Golden Mercury's mouth was running down his chest, and he pointed to one of the yellow sheep and said, "I want to eat it." ”
Joan swallowed and spitted and said, "Not only do you want to eat it, but now we all want to eat it." "But now they are all physically and mentally exhausted, and if they had come forward, the two yellow sheep would have been frightened and fled.
But there are no good weapons at hand to catch the yellow sheep, they can only look at the sheep and sigh, Yun Caiyao rode a camel and said: "Which of you has a good technique, use a rope to lasso them." ”
"Sheep?" Joan asked rhetorically, they are all physically exhausted now, and none of them have used ropes to lasso, and if they are not allowed, they can scare the sheep away.
Qiao An looked at Luo Beixi and said, "Didn't you have a stone when you were injured, you blinded the sheep, he ran away, and Young Master Yun could catch him on a camel." ”
Luo Beixi shook his head and said: "This is impossible, we will be patient now, wait for the night, now catch some small animals first, easy to catch, by the puddle, there will be many animals." ”
Luo Beixi's statement is relatively stable, Xia Zhi looked at the dead wood by the puddle, just to get less firewood, so that they would not eat raw meat.
Qiao An and the others, regardless of the heat of the sun, just tiptoed forward, they looked like thieves, for fear of alarming those animals.
Two of the rabbits were the most clever, and when they saw Joanne and them, they hurriedly ran away.
When the two yellow sheep saw the rabbit running away, they also raised their heads, and when they saw Qiao An and the others, they also turned around and ran wildly, and the yellow sand was flying all the way.
Then the gerbil fled frantically, and when the snake crawled near the puddle, it didn't eat anything.
Golden Mercury sighed and said, "It seems that I can only eat snakes." He thought about what had happened in the Heavenly Snake Valley before, and his stomach felt a little uncomfortable.
Joan looked at Jin Mercury's distorted face and said, "Isn't it hungry?" ”
Golden Mercury shook his head and said, "I remember the time in the Heavenly Snake Valley. ”
As soon as Qiao An heard this, she hurriedly interrupted Jin Mercury's speech, pointed to the puddle and said, "Let's do what Brother Luo said, set some traps here, and wait for other animals to come." ”
But this trap is also difficult, and Joan and Golden Mercury will not do this at all.
Among them, only Xia Zhi and Zhang Xuqiu will set some traps.
Summer Solstice came to the side of the puddle, looked into the puddle, the water in the puddle was a little yellow, and the three camels came to the water's edge to drink a full meal.
Summer Solstice circled beside the puddle, then came to the toolbox, found the folding military shovel, dug a few not too deep pits where the animals in the puddle had stepped on, and then walked to the dead tree next to it, broke off a few branches, stuck at the top of the pit, and he wet his clothes in the water and spread them on it.
Such an obvious trap, I don't know if any animal will be stupid enough to walk up.
Jin Mercury washed the green liquid from his body by the puddle, and then washed his face happily regardless of whether the water in the puddle was clean or dirty.
This time made him feel a lot more comfortable.
Summer Solstice broke off a lot of branches from the dead wood and piled them into a small pile, waiting for the animals to come to the door by themselves, so that he could use this small pile of wood for barbecue.
Joan and his group were not far away, watching the movement around the puddle, first there were a few gerbils, probing their brains like puddles, but they didn't step on the trap.
Qiao An said to Xia Zhi: "Is it that there is a smell on your clothes, they don't step on it." "Animals have very sensitive noses, and human scents are the ones that scare animals the most. So most animals are reluctant to approach humans. (To be continued.) )
