Chapter 16 Sand Scorpions

A few hundred meters away from the convoy, the group stood on top of the boulder, looking into the distance.

The sky was full of sand and dust, and it was extremely silent, and under the dazzling stars, it seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and there seemed to be residual heat in the air.

"Really! It's almost late at night, so why did you send us here to patrol? ā€

Zhu Shao slapped his face, and scolded as if his already relaxed spirit had recovered slightly.

After a fierce battle, and now he has been sent on patrol duty, even after a long period of training, he still feels quite tired and wants to find a place to sleep.

Zhang Feng took the lead in walking to the front, heard the captain complaining, and said with a smile: "Isn't it because of the convoy behind?" If you don't have these scout rods installed, those people may not be able to sleep soundly! ā€

So saying, he took off the pole he was carrying behind his back, and made a hole in the rock, and inserted it into it. According to the rules, such poles must be plugged in every ten meters, so as not to be attacked by something during the break.

"That's just as well!"

Zhang Feng muttered, and also stepped forward to help, plugging these warning poles into the predetermined position, and turning on the power on them to ensure that they were working properly.

Zhao Yun on the side was in a trance, staring into the distance and not knowing what he was thinking. Seeing him like this, Zhang Feng raised his hand and asked, "Alas, don't always be there, come and help." ā€

Zhao Yun smiled reluctantly, stepped forward to hold the pole steady, and Zhang Feng also took out the bolt and rotated it with the fastener he carried with him, and was happy for his proud production. After he finished his work, he raised his head and saw that Zhao Yun still looked sad, walked up and patted him and asked, "Why do you always have a tight face?" I guess I can't laugh. ā€

"It's not!"

Pulling out a smile, Zhao Yun suddenly felt that it was not good for him not to respond, after all, he saw that Zhang Feng suddenly showed an interesting appearance at this moment.

Sure enough, Zhang Feng immediately stepped forward and asked with a searching, "Then why are you like this?" As I recall, you're only fourteen years old. Fourteen-year-old with a stiff face, it won't attract girls. ā€

Zhao Yun turned his head awkwardly, not wanting to answer: "It's just because of family reasons." ā€

"Is it because your father was killed by your brother?"

Zhang Feng couldn't help but tell the rumors he had heard, and when Zhao Yun heard this, his expression immediately darkened, his eyes showed a bit of helplessness and resentment, and even his five fingers were clenched, obviously because he was angered by this matter.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to mention it." Zhang Feng was sorry when he saw this, and immediately persuaded: "But you are still young, and it is not good that your mind is always immersed in revenge!" ā€

"Then do you want me to give up my revenge? He killed my dad, and I'm going to get revenge no matter what. Zhao Yun raised his head suddenly, staring at Zhang Feng with fierce eyes and roaring.

He even held the "Silence" electromagnetic spear sent by Zao Wou-Ki behind his back in his hand, looking like he wanted to do it.

Zhang Feng hurriedly waved his hand and argued: "I'm not saying that revenge is bad. Let's just say that you shouldn't always be obsessed with revenge. After all, you are still young, and you always think about revenge, which is not good for the cultivation of three views. Otherwise, you will go on the path of the Great Demon King. I think it would be better if you could normalize your mindset a bit. ā€

"Shut up!"

Zhao Yun immediately stepped out, forced his eyes at Zhang Feng, and raised his voice and shouted.

Although he is only a fourteen-year-old boy, but because of his perennial martial arts practice, his figure is also powerful and upright, and he is not inferior to Zhang Feng in terms of height. Although Zhang Feng was frightened by this fright, he took a few steps back, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Even if I shut up, do you think you can take revenge?" After all, you're just a person, and the world is big, how do you find out if your brother wants to hide? Are you going to spend your whole life doing this? ā€

"I—"

Zhao Yun wanted to argue, but as soon as he spoke, he was stunned.

He himself understands that according to his brother's cautious and timid character, if he really wants to escape somewhere, he will definitely not succeed, even if his cultivation far exceeds that of the other party, after all, this world is too big, and it is quite difficult to meet someone.

"That's right!"

Zhang Feng immediately seized this opportunity and continued to persuade: "So, sometimes you should smile and see how beautiful the surrounding scenery is, the last revenge of the province is over, but I am sad, I don't know what to do." ā€

Zhao Yun's eyes struggled, and he swung his spear violently, leaving a crack several feet deep on the boulder next to him, and shouted, "I will handle my own affairs." ā€

Seeing this, Zhang Feng had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and sigh, thinking, "What an awkward little guy." ā€

"I don't understand, what are you going to provoke him?" Seeing the two bickering next to him, Zhu Shao stopped his movements and asked. Zhang Feng explained: "Why don't you fight? After all, the birds here don't lay eggs and have nothing, and if I don't run out to see if I have nothing to do, then I'm going to perish? ā€

"You, you just can't be idle."

Zhu Shao didn't care, and continued to move in his hands, while Zhang Feng also lowered his body to help fix the reconnaissance rod.

In this way, a group of several people walked all the way and installed the reconnaissance rod all the way.

Walking only a few dozen meters, Zhao Yun suddenly stopped and said, "Hey, did you hear any sounds?" ā€

"What sound?" Zhang Feng swept around with some doubts, but there was nothing.

The rest of the people also stopped, staring at Zhao Yun in confusion, and even began to wonder if this person was playing tricks on them?

After all, in the middle of the night, who else can come and attack?

Zhao Yun ignored it, held the spear in his palm, and said softly: "It should be the sound of quicksand, that thing seems to be approaching this way?" ā€

At this moment, suddenly, more than a dozen sandbags bulged up from both sides, and a huge creature suddenly sprang out of it, crawling towards this side rapidly. Seeing this, Zhang Feng immediately scolded: "Fuck, what the hell are these things?" Why didn't the night vision device see it? ā€

That's right, the scout from Xingtian called the police, just because the infrared night vision device installed on it could not see the specific situation of the other party, otherwise it would have already shown the location of the other party.

At this time, the rustling sound of the surrounding opponents moving is getting closer and closer, which is obviously a crisis.

Zhu Shao also immediately turned on the light and shone it in front of him, and when he saw the creature in front of him, he immediately scolded: "Damn, what is this?" ā€

On the ground, crab-like creatures about the size of a basin emerge.

Small dark eyes, showing a sand-colored shell, a pair of giant turtles are extremely sharp, and the poisonous needles in their stomachs are shaking, as if they can give each other a fatal blow anytime and anywhere, it is obvious that the sound they heard before was made by this thing.

"Damn it, it's a sand scorpion!"

Zhao Yun stared at the creature in front of him and immediately shouted.

Sand scorpions, living in desert areas, walking in the sand, accustomed to hiding, giant crows sharp, birds and insects, is a desert hegemon.

What does it mean for these creatures to suddenly appear here now?

Several people didn't dare to imagine, and they acted in unison, aiming their electromagnetic rifles at the enemy, pulling the trigger, and shooting bullets at each other in the "boom" of gunfire.
