Bai Ya fell, and everyone was worried and angry, not only because Bai Ya was popular, but also because of fear.

People are terrified that they too will become the next white bud, falling into a situation where they will die and resign themselves to fate.

But now the measures of the needle gold make everyone understand: the young knight in front of him has real knightly virtues!

The sand dunes are continuous, one after another.

There was no stretcher, and the white buds were carried on their backs in turn.

Soon, the group moved to the back of another sand dune.

Sensing the movement, the scorpions emerged from the ground, followed the others to a new location, and then burrowed into the sand.

"Once they've gotten into the sand, they can't seem to move directly underground. Cangsu analyzed.

That's good news, but it's not much better.

If everyone has mounts and is fast enough, they may be able to take the opportunity to shake off the scorpions and get rid of them.

Now the situation is that the group of people is exhausted, and the speed is not at all comparable to that of the scorpion swarm. What's more, there is also an injury that is unconscious, which greatly drags down everyone's footsteps.

After noon, before evening came, Needle Gold led the team on the journey again.

The scorpion swarm soon appeared at the back of the group.

The silver spear scorpion came out of the crowd and once again started a fierce battle with the needle. The battle lasted for a moment, and then it retreated on its own initiative.

Needle Gold watched helplessly as it withdrew, unable to do anything about it.

The cracks in the spider's blade had widened a lot, and Needlegold didn't know how long the weapon would last.

Without it, things would have gotten bad. Ordinary iron swords pose no threat to scorpion shells.

Such battles took place several more times, and everyone went from being scared each time to gradually becoming numb.

Dusk came, the sun set near the horizon, the sky was dark, and the mood of the people sank.

"Is there really no way?"

"Master Zidi, is there any potion that can kill these damn scorpions?"

Zidi shook her head. If there was, she would have used it a long time ago.

"Why don't we go and die with these damn scorpions!" someone said irritably.

This went to my heart. Someone agreed.

Others objected in a mocking tone: "Together, you are thinking too much." If we rush forward, we will only be cut in half by the silver beast. ”

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?!"

The members of the exploration team are angry and look very unhappy with each other.

Someone else put Bai Ya on the ground, and then sat down, and he opened his mouth to complain: "Hey, you have time to have the strength to quarrel, you might as well help me carry this guy." ”

"This kid is too heavy. ”

"It's good that he fell asleep, and he didn't have to travel by himself, which was really effortless. ”

The two who quarreled looked at the man on the ground, and one of them snorted coldly: "It's not that I haven't carried it, I have carried him more time than you." You can't stand this kung fu anymore?"

The other squinted his eyes, glanced at Cang Xu, and said in a strange manner: "In my opinion, the one who should carry the white buds the most is a certain old man." Bai Ya was seriously injured just to save someone. Without this injury, he is still alive and kicking. ”

The riot in the ranks began to spread from the quarrel between the two people.

In normal times, they will respect the beard very much. After all, Cangsu's knowledge has helped them a lot.

But now, on the verge of despair, the people are restless and fearful. They didn't dare to target Needle Gold or Zidi, and subconsciously transformed their anger, panic, and other emotions into words and eyes, and attacked the weakest old man in the team.

The most important thing is that Bai Ya did save Cangsu and fell into such a situation.

Morally speaking, the beard does have to be criticized.

Therefore, everyone was arguing, and they concentrated their fire on Cangsu.

In the midst of cynicism and ill-intentioned gazes, Abarsu's face remained expressionless.

"Hey, old man, what do you think? The silent Cangsu made people feel more and more weak about him, and finally someone chased and beat him fiercely, provoking Cangsu.

Cang Xu completely sneered at the corners of his mouth, and then he glanced at the team members who provoked him with a mocking gaze: "Bai Ya is in a coma, which is actually a good thing. ”

Everyone was in unison.

Cangsu continued: "At the critical moment, he is food, and we can eat him." ”

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

The besiegers of Greybeard were staring with wide eyes and shocked expressions.

"Y-What are you talking about?" someone shouted.

Needle gold and purple dizzle are also unbelievable.

Cang Xu was very calm, and his long-aged eyes were deep and cold at the moment: "Hehe, what are you doing looking at me like this?" Bai Ya is no longer good, everyone can see this. He's food, and it's totally edible. ”

"How can you say such a thing!"

"Yes, he's our companion. ”

"How can we eat people?!"

The crowd shouted, their voices sharp.

"Old man, are you a devil in human skin?" Someone even walked up to Cang Xu, looked down at Cang Xu, and pressed him with his gaze.

"Why can't people be eaten?" asked Cang Su, unafraid.

"The situation now is that we are severely short of food. Without food, we don't have the stamina. Without stamina, we will definitely be killed by the scorpion swarm in the end. ”

"At that point, Bai Ya is also dead. ”

"In fact, he's done. It's a desert, we don't have a priest, we don't have potions. Even if there is a priest, low-level magic and vindictive spirit are strictly prohibited on this island. Where do we get the senior pastors?"

"So, instead of that, let's eat. Only by eating him can we have a greater hope of escaping. ”

The explorer who forced the beard to look at him was furious, grabbed the old man by the collar, and lifted him up: "You're still talking!"

Cang Xu snorted coldly and waved his arms violently.

With a snap, the explorer's arm was knocked open.

The explorer was caught off guard and took two steps back. He looked at Cangsu in disbelief, and the strength of the old man in front of him seemed to be beyond his expectations.

Cangsu straightened his neckline and said slowly, "You have read too little, and now I will tell you a truth - the same kind can eat each other." ”

"There is an insect called the praying mantis. The male mantis and the female mantis mate, and the female mantis eats the male mantis that night to supplement its own nutrition in order to give birth to offspring more smoothly. ”

"A few years ago, when the famine broke out, the people in the northwest of the empire also exchanged their children to cook and eat. ”

"Don't get caught up in morality and law. These are just the things that sustain our daily lives. ”

"For any life, everything at the lowest level is for survival and reproduction. If we can't even guarantee our own survival, what laws and morals are we talking about?"

"Besides, what kind of goods are you, others don't know, don't you know?"

"Our ship is headed for the Beast Continent. There is going to be a war. Who would go there at this time?"

Cangsu sneered, and finally summed up the sentence: "Staying alive is more important than anything else, isn't it?"

No one spoke, and the whole team fell into a deathly silence.

Many still stared at the beard, but their eyes were no longer as angry and hateful as before.

"Beard, please take back your words. White sprouts are by no means food, but our companions. I will never allow the tragedy of cannibalism to happen. Needle Gold frowned and looked stern.

"As you wish, my knight. Cang Xu's collar was tidied up, he gave a salute to the needle, the etiquette was very upright, and the standard of his movements was so standard that he couldn't find the slightest fault, and he was worthy of serving the nobles for most of his life.

The extreme heat caused the yellow algae to open their eyes.

His eyes were bloodshot and his head was in disarray. It took a long time after waking up to gradually react.

He was lying at the foot of a sand dune, and beside him was an unconscious man, none other than his own brother, Cyanobacteria.

Cyanobacteria remained motionless and still in a state of coma. His condition is getting worse and worse, originally only his lips have been chapped, and now the skin on his body is also peeling from the sun. Although he was still breathing, the strength of his chest was visibly weaker than yesterday.

Huang algae tries to sit up with his upper body.

He immediately felt a violent dizziness and hurriedly supported his body with his hands behind him.

"I also have a fever. As soon as he touched his forehead, his heart sank.

He remembered.

The desert night was so cold that he was so tired that he could only sleep on the spot. He relied on blue-green algae and used his feverish body temperature to ward off the bitter cold.

But he still failed.

He fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was noon.

Huang Zao felt a wave of fear. He was very glad that he did not encounter any predatory beasts in the process of sleeping.

"But what now?"

Huang Zao still has some dry food on him, but he has no water!

Most of his water was used to rinse the wounds of the blue-green algae, and he had already drunk the rest.

Not only did he survive alone, he also had to carry an adult man who weighed more than him.

After sitting on the sand for a while, the yellow algae slowly picked up the blue-green algae and continued to set off.

However, the emotions of confusion, panic, frustration, and despair in Huang Zao's heart are difficult to dissolve, and they accumulate more and more in his heart.

The exhaustion, hunger, and dizziness of his body were like thorns, bound to his body, and the spikes of the thorns were deeply rooted in his flesh and bones, so that every time he took a step forward, he would be involved in these dense and countless wounds.

"Water...... Water ......"

The cyanobacteria behind him began to murmur unconsciously.

Huang Zao stopped suddenly, he didn't know why, but there was a strong emotion of anger and hatred in his heart.

"Don't say it, don't you bother!"

"It's not that you're hurt, we definitely have water now!"

"In this situation, where can I get you water to drink?"

"I want to drink water too, I want to too!!"

Yellow algae roared ventedly, ignoring his dry and smoking throat.

Cyanobacteria could not hear, and were still murmuring, thirsting for water.

Huang Zao's eyes widened, and a wave of anger welled up from his heart, rising between his eyebrows, and then all over his face in an instant.

He suddenly let go and threw the blue-green algae on the ground.

"Stop screaming!"

He shouted at Cyanobacteria, his eyes filled with anger and a cruel and cold ferocity.

His chest heaved rapidly, and his snort grew heavier.

Killing intent grew in Huang Zao's heart, and then strangely grew rapidly.

Yellow algae stared at the cyanobacteria for a long time, and the Adam's apple rolled subconsciously, and there was a hungry wolf-like green light in his eyes.

Hunger filled his heart, his mind, and kept him from thinking.

The survival instinct constantly reminded him to ignore the identity of the spirulina and let him "see clearly" every piece of flesh on the blue-green algae, every fresh blood flowing in his body.

"It's ......"

"Food!!"

Huang Zao slowly approached, slowly leaned over, and then half-knelt on the ground, stretching out his hands.

His hands reached for the blue-green algae, and the movements were very slow, as if they were hanging from a heavy hammer.

His hands were still shaking.

At first, it was only a slight tremble, and the closer you got to the blue-green algae, the deeper the tremor of the hands became.

Suddenly, the yellow algae noticed that the eyelids of the cyanobacteria twitched slightly.

Immediately, the blue-green algae slowly opened a trace of the slit in the eyes.

"Brother, you're awake!!" Huang Zao shouted, and surprise came wildly, overwhelming the sky like a tsunami, covering his whole body and mind.

The previous emotions of hunger, thirst, cruelty, despair, and madness were like mirages, all of which were dreams in vain.

The cyanobacteria looked in a trance, and the eyes in the gap of the eyes turned imperceptibly, and they saw the yellow algae kneeling in front of him.

The harsh sunlight is obscured by the body of the yellow algae, whose head sits right in the shadow of the yellow algae.

Cyanobacteria's lips twitch.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Huang Zao trembled physically and mentally, and immediately lay down in front of Cyanoza and put his ear to Cyanoza's mouth.

Then, he heard a voice that was extremely weak.

"I ...... I can't. ”

"Don't ...... for me Drag yourself down......"

"No food and no water......

"Brother...... You...... Just ......"

"Eat me. ”

These words exhausted all the strength of Spirulina, and he passed out again.

When Huang Zao heard this, it was as if he had suffered a thunderous blow, and his pupils shrank to the size of a pinpoint in an instant, and the whole person was stunned.

It was as if he had become a stone statue.

He craned his neck, poked his ears out, got to his knees, clasped his hands in the sand, and remained silent for a few moments in a twisted and strange manner.

Eventually, his blank mind began to work slowly.

He reacted.

He retracted his neck, still half-kneeling, but straightened his upper body.

He looked at the blue-green algae lying on the sand, and his vision quickly blurred.

Tears accumulated in his eyes, and then flowed out in large streams, streaking across his smoky face, forming two black tear streaks.

"Brother, brother!"

He called out loudly, and the guilt, chagrin, self-blame and other emotions in his heart blocked his nose and throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"You are my only relative!"

"How can I use you as food?"

"I'm not going to do that. ”

"I would never do that!"

He was yelling, and he was swearing.

Then, he carried the blue-green algae on his back again and set off again with a hobbling step.

With a look of perseverance.
