Chapter 39: The Desert Devil
Jiao Ba jumped away and said, "It's nothing, it's just the smell of wind and sand, Mai Lao, let's take a rest here, Jenny and Li Xin are already very tired." ”
But Li Xin also said strongly, "If you rest for us, then forget it, I said, we won't hold back." ”
"Yes, it's not a big deal." Jenny smiled at Li Xin, and the two of them were still very compatible.
Mai Lao put down his backpack, "It's me who is tired, let's rest in place, Martin, take out the tent." ”
We set up the tent again, huddled together to rest, the big man sat there sleepily and went to sleep, the rest of us drank water and ate, we didn't eat much, we ate a little bit each time, but we ate more frequently, this is also to facilitate movement, this compressed dry food, can not eat more, otherwise it will be swollen.
Each of us is disgraced, embarrassed, the wind and sand blow us like African refugees, there is no original appearance for a long time, Li Xin and Jenny two beauties, now more ugly than the village girl, the beautiful face has long been gone, this period of torture, made them a lot haggard, tender skin is a little dry and cracked, it is really a sin.
"You two drink more water, if you don't drink any more water, I think you two will be unconscious from dehydration." I said with some distress that if they continued like this, they would have to go to God.
"Yes, Jenny, drink more water, don't be so economical." Jiao Ba said with concern, it seems that he really has that meaning for Jenny, but there are too many things during this time, and he hasn't had time to talk to Jenny in detail.
Hearing us say this, they just took a few sips, Li Xin ate something more, and asked a little tiredly, "Judging from the telescope, that palace is far away from us, I hope we can reach it safely." ”
Shaoyu was in a trance, and said a little nervously, "Danger is getting closer and closer to us, I feel something staring at us from below the desert, we have to get out of here as soon as possible." ”
"Shaoyu, I've told you a few times, don't worry, we'll be fine." Martin comforted again.
"No, it's true, I really feel that there's something down in this desert, it's following us, it could kill us anytime and anywhere." Shaoyu was like an overly frightened person, bent his waist and said with a thief's eyebrows.
The big man smiled helplessly, "Why is he the same as a pyramid scheme, has a mental problem, right?" ”
"I'm not mentally ill, it's true, if you don't listen to me, you'll all regret it, you'll regret it, that thing is coming, it's going to kill us, he's going to kill us all." Shaoyu said tremblingly.
His eyes were full of horror, I don't know what he saw before, but the death of the sailor seemed to have brought him a lot of mental pressure, and there really seemed to be some terrible creature under this desert, we were in the light, that thing was in the dark, maybe the danger was really getting closer and closer to us.
Martin stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "Damn, can you calm me down?" When did you become so cowardly? If you're scared, get back to me now. ”
Shaoyu smirked and said, "Captain, we've known each other for so long, have you ever seen me scared?" Am I the kind of person who is afraid of death? Only this time, I felt the coming of death, and the Grim Reaper was very close to us, right in front of us, right in front of us. ”
"Shut up for me, don't say anything depressing there, and if you say one more thing, I'll give you a taste of my fist." Martin was also a little out of control, and Shaoyu's mental trance made him unbearable.
Mai Lao reached out and grabbed Martin's arm and said, "Martin, you let him go, it's not his fault, there may be something under this desert." ”
Martin let go of him, then looked into his eyes and said, "Shaoyu, don't embarrass me, even if death really comes, we have to face it with a smile." ”
Shaoyu sat on the ground, suddenly smiled helplessly and nodded, the atmosphere in the tent was very embarrassing, no one said a word, retaining physical strength is one thing, on the other hand, it is also because the environment here has brought us a lot of internal pressure, this invisible pressure, like a mountain, pressed on our chests, making us gasp hard.
About half an hour later, Mai Lao got up and walked out of the tent, "It's almost, it's time for us to hit the road." ”
Put away the tent, our group set out on the journey again, down the hillside and all the way down, at this time the wind and sand is already very small, and it is a long road, when we go down the hillside, everyone is sweating profusely, it is too hot, I feel that if we go on like this, we must be sunburned, the air is hot, the wind is hot, everything is hot, the yellow sand under the feet is hot, and I feel that I can boil water.
The sun is always hanging high, not moving, the whole sky is full of white clouds, these clouds are constantly flowing, but the most helpless thing for me is that no matter how they flutter, they just don't float to the sun, when we were in the ice city, we longed for the warmth of the sun, but now this warmth is about to melt us.
Just when we were about to be exhausted, I felt a softness under my feet, and my whole body immediately fell into the desert, and my legs were instantly buried by the yellow sand, and I was dumbfounded, and it was quicksand again, and I shouted, "It's quicksand, save me." ”
And at the same time as I shouted, I clearly felt that something under the desert was grabbing my feet, pulling me down hard, I tried my best to climb up, but the yellow sand was too soft, no matter how I climbed, my body was falling rapidly.
All this happened in an instant, less than a few seconds, just when I was about to be buried by the desert, Jiao Ba and Shunzi quickly grabbed my arm, and Shunzi shouted, "Brother Yi, hold on, come and help." ”
Jiao Ba and Junzi pulled me hard, but the power of the ghost thing below was very strong, no matter how hard the two of them tried, our bodies still couldn't break out of the desert, and most of our bodies were still buried underneath.
"Fuck, there's something down there that's pulling me up, pull me up, quick." I yelled anxiously, if I were buried in the desert, I would die in an instant.
The big man and the steamed bun also hurried over to help, and the strength of these four people was much greater, but at the same time I was also very guilty, they dragged my arm from above, but there was something below to grab my foot, and the consequence of the joint force of these two sides was that my arms and legs were about to be broken.
"Oh my God, the Grim Reaper is coming, the Grim Reaper is coming, let's pray, let's pray." Less than being completely frightened and stupid like a psychopath, he actually knelt on the desert and began to pray.
Martin went up and gave him a kick, "You get me up, what are you crazy about." ”
"Captain, I'm not crazy, I'm just praying, only the gods can save us, death has come, he wants to kill all of us, he wants to take the life of each of us, I pray that God will send death away." Shaoyu was trembling, muttering like an idiot.
Martin went up and punched him, this punch was very powerful, and the corners of Shaoyu's mouth were full of blood, "You sober me up, look at what time it is now, you are still crazy here, get out of here, quickly." ”
Jenny and Li Xin were coming over at this time, and I shouted anxiously, "Don't come here, you two don't come here, Mai Lao, take them away." "This desert can be a whirlpool at any time, and once they all come, if the desert whirlpool is formed, we will all be wiped out, and there will be no one to rescue.
Mai Lao is more understanding, he was stunned to stop Li Xin and Jenny, and called Martin and Shao Yu and others, they couldn't help me, so they could only hide from a distance and watch, the two of them wanted to rush over several times, but they were stopped by Mai Lao and Chang Shan, this area is too dangerous.
"Ah, fuck fast, I'm going to break my arm." I cried out in pain, I had to be torn apart by the five horses if I went on like this.
But at this moment, the four of them roared and pulled me out directly from under the yellow sand, but at the same time as pulling me out, Junko exclaimed, "My mother, what is that?" ”
I looked back, and I was so frightened that I almost screamed, and at the same time they pulled me out, they also brought out the thing that grabbed my feet, this ghost thing is very similar to a person, but it is not a person, it looks like a dried corpse and a half, the whole body is as thin as wood, and the body is the same color as the yellow sand.
The hand that grabbed my calf was shriveled and didn't look like it, its head was very big, occupying the whole body, but on such a big head, there were no facial features, and the whole face was full of empty holes, so people didn't dare to look at it directly, what the hell is this?
"I'll be your uncle." I raised my foot and kicked the in the face, shouting, "Shoot, shoot." ”
Jiao Ba's reaction was the fastest, when he saw this ghost thing, he pulled out his gun and fired, and when the others saw that he had shot, they also raised their guns to shoot, and under the attack of a strong fire, this ghost thing was almost beaten into a sieve, and its big head was shattered.
Half a minute later, they stopped attacking, but when they stopped, everyone looked a little frightened, and the big man gasped and asked, "What the hell is this?" Why is it so scary? What the is this monster? ”
"I don't know, I've never encountered this kind of thing, it seems that Shaoyu is right, there is indeed something under this desert." I sat on the floor, and I didn't have any recovery from it, and if they weren't fast enough, I would have died.
"It's disgusting, this thing makes me sick to my stomach." Mantou frowned and scolded.
Junko reached out and pulled me up, "How is Brother Yi?" You okay? ”
I shook my head and said, "It's okay, if you hadn't been quick enough, I'd have died." As I spoke, I walked up to the, crouched down and took a closer look, what the hell was this thing? It's really hard to tell if it's not a person or a ghost.
"Eighth child, do you know what this thing is?" I looked up and asked Jiao Ba.
Jiao Ba squatted down and looked at it and said, "I can't say what it is, but at first glance, it seems to be a cursed person." ”
