At this time, the camels were also tired, and we were walking on foot, the sky was shining, the temperature was scorching, and the sea was hovering, and the cry was sharp, and the hearts of those who listened were anxious, as if something big was going to happen. Everyone looked at Batu in unison, but Batu didn't seem to understand why, and at this moment, the corpse fairy suddenly raised his head.

Others think it's nothing, but Tofu and I know it very well. The corpse fairy rarely takes the initiative to make any moves on its own, and it must be because of some reason when it raises its head.

What is it that can make the ignorant corpse fairy react?

At this moment, Hai Dongqing suddenly flew down and landed on the shoulders of Batu with sheepskin armguards, and at the same time, we suddenly saw that a black mist in the sky was rapidly approaching. Tofu exclaimed, "What is that?" ”

As soon as Batu saw the black mist, he suddenly looked horrified, and he stepped back in surprise, gesturing with his hands and feet, and even his native Mongolian language stammered a little, and occasionally mixed with a few words of Chinese, and I heard one word clearly: devil.

After hearing this, Ouyang Xuan's expression also changed, and said: "Batu said, this is a devil worm, it comes out of the nest once a year, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by us." "Tengger Devil Bug, I seem to have heard of it, I recalled it in my mind, and vaguely remembered that I had read the relevant information, but I didn't remember it very well. It is a crustacean insect that is carnivorous, hides in the sand for most of the year, has a pair of ornamental elytra, usually does not fly, only during the breeding season can fly, and gathers a large area to prey in preparation for the reproduction of offspring.

They contain a slight poison in their bodies, but because of the large number of them when they gather, they go everywhere, like locusts crossing the border, a camel, can be gnawed by them in a minute only the skeleton of bones, very terrifying, and the desert marching ant is called the devil in the sand.

These things are usually inconspicuous, but when they are assembled during the breeding season, they are terrifying. And our team, which has camels, is obviously an attractive meal in this vast desert. Almost helpless at the moment, Batu whistled, mounted his camel and ran. The camels also seemed to know the crisis, and although they were tired, their speed did not slow, and we rode on the camels and galloped, but the black mist came quickly, and at this moment, Tofu shouted, "Wood." Don't be stunned. ”

I turned my head to look and found that the corpse fairy was still in place, still maintaining the posture of raising his head, and his expression was as blank as a dummy, and at this time, those devil insects naturally attacked the nearest corpse fairy, and just when the black mist was about to swoop down towards the corpse fairy, the corpse fairy himself suddenly flew up, and his body plunged into the black cloud.

This scene made Zhang Wen and the others stunned in surprise.

And immediately after, the corpse fairy was wrapped in the devil worm, almost invisible, at this moment, a burst of red smoke suddenly filled the air, covering the devil worm in it, and finally the smoke became thicker and thicker, like a pink cloth covering the air.

We involuntarily held the camel and stopped running.

Zhen Rui frowned slightly and asked me, "What's the matter?" ”

I shook my head, stared at the red mist in the air, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the corpse fairy is powerful, and our crisis should be solved." Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the red smoke slowly fell, and finally fell to the ground, and then shrunk smaller and smaller, and the figure of a corpse fairy appeared in the mist, and finally the red mist turned into a wisp of red smoke, which was completely inhaled into his mouth.

At this moment, the desert is extremely hot, and there are still some devil insects in the air.

Ouyang Xuan stammered: "It's difficult, is it all eaten by him?" Is he human? ”

Zhang Wen said: "At first glance, it is not. ”

The know-it-all said: "It's not a living person, could it be that the Dou brothers will control the corpse?" He looked at Tofu. It's no wonder that this kid is called a jack of all trades, and he can even think of corpse control, if it is according to normal people's thoughts, corpse control should be the most reliable possibility.

Tofu wanted to cry without tears, and said: "What a corpse control technique, it is hungry." "At this moment, the corpse fairy walked towards us step by step, his face was still blank, but for some reason, I always felt that there was something different about the corpse fairy.

Tofu and the corpse fairy have been together for a long time, and he immediately discovered the root of the problem, and said to me in a low voice: "Old Chen, when you look at the wood's eyes, it seems that something is different...... It's not like wood anymore. "It dawned on me that this corpse fairy didn't seem to be as lifeless as it used to be.

Suddenly, the corpse fairy walked up to us. Tofu tentatively cried out: "Wood? "In normal times, the corpse fairy would basically not react, but this time, the corpse fairy's gaze immediately shifted to Tofu's body.

Tofu and I glanced at each other, and both remembered what Chen Tiande said. The corpse fairy needs to be raised, and it seems that if you want it to give birth to consciousness as soon as possible, it is not enough to just bring it around, you have to find some 'food' for it. Everyone continued on the road, and at this time, the eyes of the people in the team were almost all focused on the corpse immortal, and even Ouyang Xuan frequently wanted to be close to the corpse immortal.

Tofu seized this opportunity to get close to Ouyang Xuan, and treated the corpse fairy as a free model, letting Ouyang Xuan pinch and touch, and the relationship finally improved slightly. At noon, Batu looked at the sun, compared the directions, and signaled that we were at the place.

There is nothing special about this destination, and at a glance it is connected with the surrounding yellow sand, and where you can still see the shadow of ancient ruins. We had already envisioned this outcome, and although we were a little disappointed, it was expected.

They simply set up a shade tent, and when they were hungry, they sat in the shed, eating and drinking, and discussing the next thing. In fact, we had already anticipated it, so we planned for it. The desert is fluid, and we can't open a thief hole, so we first have to figure out why Xue An was buried in the ruins in the first place, but why it ended up in other places.

We decided to look around where we found Xue An in the first place, and see if we could find any clues.

That location was more than an hour away from here, and if it weren't for Hai Dongqing to guide the way, Xue An would not have been rescued at all.

After everyone had finished eating and drinking, and dodged the most poisonous time of the sun, they marched towards that position.

I didn't expect that after less than forty minutes of walking, an oasis appeared in front of our eyes.

I blinked, and said no, Billier didn't mention that there was an oasis around here? If there really were an oasis, more than forty years ago, they would not have almost died of weakness, could it be a mirage? Everyone looked at each other, and Batu shook his head, also indicating that he didn't understand.

But strangely, the oasis is always in front of us, in the shape of a shuttle, and from where we are now, we can see a clear river under the sun. Tofu quickened his pace and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a mirage or not, the route is the same anyway, let's go and see." "But to our surprise, this oasis is real, the oasis is overgrown with rabbit grass, and there are some trees that are several meters high, but there are no very large trees.

As he walked, he speculated and said, "The time for the formation of this oasis should not be possible, it is estimated that it will be only a few decades." ”

Zhang Wen was surprised: "If you want to form an oasis, you must have groundwater, and in the desert, the probability of groundwater upwelling is very small, shouldn't we say that we are lucky?" ”

I felt a little weird, and said to everyone: "This oasis is quite large, the place where Xue An appeared at the beginning should also be included in it, and this oasis has been formed in recent decades, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Zhang Wen nodded and said, "It's a bit strange, but one person can make an oasis, isn't this matter too complicated, maybe it's just some kind of coincidence?" ”

After all, it's just speculation, and everyone didn't say much for a while, but now in this situation, the geomorphological environment has changed greatly, and there are vegetation blocking, if you want to find clues, it will be much more troublesome than our original plan. After some discussion, everyone felt that they had set up camp in the oasis and conducted a carpet search, and if they really couldn't find clues at that time, Zhen Rui could only accept his fate and go home.

In the afternoon, we set up camp and took in the surroundings of the campsite. This oasis can be said to be a cradle of life, or it can be said to be a blessed place for animals in the desert, and animal footprints can be found from time to time, especially at the water's edge.

There is a river in the oasis, the river water is shallow, you can see the sand bed at the bottom of the river at a glance, both sides are densely tangled rabbit grass, the river water drinks the desert hot temperature in stark contrast, very cool, which confirms our speculation, there was once a large amount of groundwater upwelling here, and now the water of this river also mainly comes from the ground.

Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but have a thought in my heart: if this oasis is really related to Xue An's original experience, then will there be any clues to find the source of this river? With this thought, I couldn't help but look along the river, but unfortunately my vision was limited, and everywhere I could see was a bend, whether the grass was shaking, and the figures of one or two small animals flashed by. It was really sunset, and it was no longer convenient to take any more action, so I suppressed this thought and prepared to go to the source of the river the next day to take a look.

At nightfall, Batu hunted two rabbits, roasted them on the fire and roasted them for us to improve our food, but unfortunately we were a group of big men, and the two rabbits were stripped of their internal organs, and the rest of the meat was divided into a little bit of meat, and it was not enough to stuff the teeth. And the rabbit meat is fragrant, but it arouses gluttony, and the tofu looks completely dissatisfied with the rabbit bone in his mouth, so he asked Ouyang Xuan to be the translator and ask Batu to go to the river to get two more fish.

Since the river was not far away, we didn't think much about it, but not long after, Tofu ran back nervously, soaking wet, panting and saying, "No, it's not good, Batu, Batu is gone." ”
