Chapter 0516: The Camel Caravan in the Desert
At the moment when the stars shifted, Su Qi could see Yin Song's surprised face, Anya's fallen body, black impermanence clutching Bai impermanence's calves with both hands, with a dazed and overwhelmed expression, and himself, after a moment of trance, was in a vast cloud and mist.
Chang Su said that this place was a trial left by Emperor Yun.
But there was nothing but thick white clouds around.
The sound of ding ding dong suddenly sounded, Su Qi listened intently for a moment, the sound seemed to come from all directions, and it was impossible to judge the direction at all, the bell was crisp, and it was obvious that the two bells were mixed together, very much like a camel bell.
In the midst of doubt, the scene changed again, and the surrounding clouds and fog suddenly dispersed.
Su Qi found himself on top of a camel, with a long camel team in front of him and behind him, several Terran merchants in ancient robes sat on the camel, swaying with the movement of the camel, the wind and sand in the desert were not big, but the scorching sun was scorching, everyone wrapped themselves firmly, under this degree of scorching sun, once the skin was burned, it was red and swollen, itchy and painful, especially when rubbing against clothes, the stinging sensation was almost endless, so everyone was careful.
The camel bell tinkled non-stop.
One is the jingling, which rings only at the end of the caravan, so that the owner can judge whether the horses are missing, and the other is the ringing, which is tied to the goods, used to judge whether the goods are missing.
Su Qi looked around silently, counting himself, there were only nine people in this camel team, but there were seventy or eighty camels, led by an old man, he had long white hair hanging from the turban that wrapped his head, but his body was tall and straight, and he looked very strong, there were two women in the team, one was on the camel in front of him, short in stature, but even the wide sleeved robe could not hide her delicate body, and the other woman sat on the last camel, she lowered her head, and seemed to have fallen asleep。
No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary camel caravan.
Su Qi raised his head blankly, the sky was a faint white pale blue, there was no cloud, and the sun above his head was huge and dazzling, making it difficult for Su Qi to look directly, and it was also at this time that Su Qi found that there was no aura in his body, and the spiritual sea had not even opened up at all!
This is purely the body of an ordinary person.
After a brief panic, Su Qi quickly calmed down.
This is mostly an illusion, since it is a trial left by Emperor Yun, it is not surprising at all to base it on the illusion, with Emperor Yun's methods, it is enough for them not to detect a trace of falsehood.
At least now he really couldn't feel any aura in his body at all, and even the spiritual eye had lost its effect.
And what exactly is this illusion for? Since it is a trial, there must be some kind of test, that is, this camel team will soon usher in some kind of crisis?
Su Qi was slightly vigilant, now he is a pure ordinary person, although he can feel that this body is very strong, but in the face of an unknown crisis, a simple physical body may not be able to play much of a role.
The old man at the front suddenly raised his right hand, and a rapid whistling sound sounded in his mouth.
The camel team stopped in response, Su Qi tensed his body, he found that he had a waist knife in his hand, and immediately grabbed it quickly, looking left and right.
But soon he found that his 'companions' had all turned over and dismounted, led the caravan to the gentle slope on the right, relaxed their bodies, and laughed and talked to each other, and the woman at the end of the group seemed to wake up suddenly, and looked blankly for a while, then jumped off the camel with great interest, rushed all the way to the woman in front of him, and whispered something.
What the situation.
Su Qi blinked, this didn't look like it was dangerous at all.
"What are you doing?"
Someone patted him on the shoulder, Su Qi turned his head, and a big man who was tightly covered was looking at him suspiciously, his eyes were shining, and he looked like a very energetic person.
"Nothing. Su Qi shook his head and followed him to the gentle slope.
There were two people feeding the camels, and the others were already sitting around the gentle slope, untying their headscarves and veils, drinking water and chatting with laughter, and Su Qi and the big man next to him also joined in.
"Give. The short woman threw an oiled paper bag at Su Qi.
Su Qi stretched out his hand to take it, the oil paper bag was full of jerky, he picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth, it was very hard, with a faint salty taste, walking in the desert, water is the most important thing, but the same is true of salt, after a lot of sweating, it is easy to lead to a lack of salt in the body, followed by fatigue and exhaustion.
He grabbed the parchment water bag from his waist and took a small sip, his lips were dry, but he was not thirsty, and it was better not to waste water until he knew what the next crisis would be.
If he failed in this illusion, he didn't know if there was a chance for a second trial, and he didn't know what would happen to the person who failed, but judging from Chang Su's words, most of the time there was no good end.
The people around were whispering and laughing, the voices of the two women were the clearest and loudest, after they took off their veils and headscarves, Su Qi also saw their appearance clearly, the short woman had a delicate face, which made people wonder how such a woman with excellent looks could come to engage in such a hard job as a camel merchant, and the companions beside her were much taller and more delicate, but there was a laziness all over her body, she should not be very old, maybe only a teenager, and she had been pestering the short woman beside her to talk.
"Three days away, right?"
The big man beside him suddenly came over and winked at Su Qi, "Sha Luo is a big city, I heard that there are jewels from the Great Jin Dynasty in it, this is a good opportunity to be courteous! Don't look at Nangong's appearance, in fact, she likes jewelry very much!"
Su Qi blinked.
What do you mean?
Is there anyone you like among the two women opposite?
Nangong? Is it a surname? But two women, which one is it?
A stone flew in and smashed the body of the big man next to him, he didn't dodge or dodge, he smiled, snatched the dried meat from Su Qi's hand, and slipped aside to brag with others.
The short woman blushed, glanced at Su Qi, and quickly looked away, the singing woman beside her also winked at Su Qi with an ambiguous face, gestured with her right hand on her neck, smiled playfully, lowered her head again, and pestered the short woman to tell some stories about Sharo.
She is Nangong, the person she likes physically?
Su Qi looked at the short woman, and then looked down at his hands.
It's a pity that I can't see what I look like.
And judging by the movements of the tall girl, she is hinting that she is buying a necklace?
Why does this trial seem to be a rhythm to attack the girl?
I don't know if I have enough money.
Su Qi touched his waist bag and sighed deeply.
