The sun is scorching, the sun is like a torch, and there is not a trace of moisture in the air.

In the unchanging desert, more than two dozen camels and a dozen horses are running under the scorching sun.

Changes in the ratio of camels to horses have proven that camels are indeed the most desert-adapted mammals.

However, each of these most desert-adapted mammals was in agony at this time, and several even had a human-recognizable torment on their faces, and their soft, insulating hooves could not stop the heat of the burning sea.

But more dangerous than the pain is numbness and tiredness, and a few camels have reached this state.

"Woo........."

After a wail, another camel with shriveled skin and dull hair could not support the longing to close its eyes, and fell to its knees.

As soon as it knelt down, several half-ogres pounced on it, tearing its body hysterically, and one of the particularly brave half-ogres bit off the camel's neck and drank directly from its main arteries.

This behavior is extremely stupid.

The salt content in the blood of such a dead camel is already extremely high, and drinking its blood not only does not replenish water, but actually drinks a donkey to quench its thirst.

"I'm going back to Egypt, I'm going back to Nile............" The half-ogre, who had drunk too much blood, suddenly fell into a state of dehydration, he lost his reason and courage, and said something that would shake the morale of the whole team.

The next moment, his voice stopped abruptly, and two daggers, one green and one blue, fell from the sky and plunged into his head.

Several orcs in front and behind quickly pounced, but they were all chased away by Yusuf, and after eating his eyes and tongue, he was about to throw this subordinate to the other subordinates.

"Take your bladder out, and don't waste this precious water source." The person who spoke was short, about half the height of the half-ogre, wrapped in a black robe, and the black dagger in her hand was still stained with brains, and it was she who killed the half-ogre who disturbed the army's heart with a single sword.

When she saw the half-ogre drinking blood, she knew that he was going to lose his mind and was ready to kill him.

"Shakhamera, what did you say?!" Yusuf was stunned by this request.

"I said, take out your bladder, you can't waste this precious water source." Shahamela looked fearlessly at the chief's son, "Believe me, the water we drink these days is no better than urine. ”

Yusuf hesitated for a moment, but finally cut open the corpse's belly, pulled out the bladder, and then licked it reluctantly.

It's really not unpleasant, and the water stored in a leather bag for a long time also tastes like this.

He quickly gulped down, and even he needed to receive water rationing, so it was a benefit.

He suddenly remembered something, and handed his half-drunk bladder to Shahamera: "Wow." ”

Shahamela took the bladder, drank all the liquid inside, and swallowed the shriveled bladder whole, which also had a high water content inside this organ.

At the same time, their men devoured the bodies of their dead companions.

These ogres are able to store a lot of water and fat in their bodies, and they are much more drought tolerant than humans.

Therefore, although Wu Xin was well prepared and prevented them from getting the last supply, he was never able to get rid of them.

But these pursuers are also about to reach their limits, although food and water are still sufficient, but the heat and sewage cause unknown diseases,

Two and a half ogres have been killed.

"Alright, that's all for today." Shahamela looked at his panicked subordinates and told them to rest.

Looking at her subordinates, Yusuf muttered a few words, but did not shout.

"The Burning Sea cannot be crossed by a small team like ours, and we must turn back before the water level drops to the danger line." Convinced that the rest of his subordinates were in the distance, Shahamela calmly set up the situation for Yusuf. "Even tonight, if we can't catch up with the enemy, we must retreat."

"No!" Yusuf instinctively rejected the suggestion. "We can't disobey our father's orders."

He didn't understand how much power that Suleiman the Magnificent in Istanbul really had, and he didn't even understand what the relationship between Istanbul and the Egyptian Pasha was, he only knew that he couldn't disobey his father's orders.

"You can." Shahamera's words made Yusuf's eyes widen. "Your brother is dead."

After thinking for half a minute, Yusuf finally showed a sudden realization that he was his father's only son, and he couldn't eat himself like another brother.

"We have done everything we can, and the enemy has been forced to go even in the afternoon, but we have not yet seen them lose their camels or their companions, and we have two dead. This shows that they are very well prepared, and that the leader of the group is very good at calculating how to distribute supplies. "Shahamera's suggestion is not cowardice, but a rational judgment drawn after really analyzing the situation." What's more, we don't know their purpose, it's very difficult to track them in the desert, and a storm will completely lose their tracks. ”

"A storm............ Hopefully, the storm will come soon............ "Yusuf knows that Shahamela is always right. "Then you have to find someone to make this suggestion, or your father may kill you."

At this moment, he showed a sharpness that did not match his usual level.

Shahamera's face was completely covered by a black cloth, leaving only her eyes, but these eyes showed a hint of emotion because of Yusuf's words, and she did not speak, but nodded.

After resting until the evening, the wind and sand that Yusuf was expecting did not come in the end, and the traces left by Wu Xin and them were still clear, and the pursuers continued on their way after sharing water and pieces of dried meat.

Yusuf opened the way, and Shahmaila broke off.

Shahamera, the last of the team, silently calculated her own strength, she herself was a wanderer at the peak of the elite, and Yusuf was also a samurai who had just entered the elite level.

The other subordinates are also carefully selected elites, most of whose strength is above the backbone level, although they have lost two people, but their strength is still above Wu Xin and them.

This is the backbone of the Brain Drinker's Armin Army.

"Auntie! Come and see, what is this? ”

Just as Shakhamera was thinking, Yusuf had discovered something earlier.

She drove the camel forward, and before she could get to Yusuf's side, she saw something that made Yusuf scream.

There was a line of fire burning on the ground, illuminating the dark desert.

Screams could be heard in the distance.

'Is it infighting?' ’

Shahamela immediately thought that the fugitives would be under more pressure after all, and they would want to give up.

The leader refused, and then there was infighting.

"Chase!"

Shakhamera let out a loud shout, she was extremely excited, she had decided to give up, it did not mean that she was not expecting a miracle.

Now a miracle has happened, a miracle that will make Amin and Yusuf favored by the majestic Suleiman Magnificent in Istanbul.

………

Wu Xin used the clothes of the dead apprentice to help the female knight Deverlich wrap her dark wounds, and felt helpless in her heart.

In the desert, there is no more dangerous wound than a burn.

The situation is already dire.

The team, which had not lost for a long time, had undergone drastic attrition in the past five minutes, and now in addition to Wu Xin and Deverichy, there were only three surviving trainees.

And everyone was seriously injured, Wu Xin himself didn't do much, but he knew that the enemy who was lurking under the sand had the greatest malice towards him.

The greatest purpose of his visit to the desert has been obtained, and his journey in the Burning Sea has allowed him to absorb a part of the essence of the Burning Sea.

This essence is the spark that can ignite the "lighthouse".

However, in the process of condensing this fire, Wu Xin's kind also felt its existence.

"Haha, Xingyue help me!"

An exaggerated laugh rang out, and Yusuf could barely believe what he saw.

The fugitives fell to the ground, and the camels fell to their knees one by one and trembled.

The smell in the air also excites him, the smell of roasted meat, and it is roasted human flesh.

It's not infighting. ’

Shakhamera immediately realized that the situation was not right, and she shouted: "Alert! ”

"Watch your step!"

However, after chasing in the desert for too long, even the aggressive half-ogre lost his vigilance, and when Shahamela roared, two screams rang out together.
