Chapter 197 - Different Directions (20)

The bitter wind swept through the yellow sand that could be seen in the desert, overwhelmingly towards Chen Fatzi and their campsite. Lin Mumu and Guihai Luoxue, who were still talking in a whisper just now, had to quickly hide behind the lying camel herd at this time, wrapped their hoods and cloaks tightly, and when the sandstorm that blurred all vision finally passed, the two of them climbed out of the fine sand that buried nearly half of themselves.

Seeing that the little guys who have lived in this desert for a long time seem to be very accustomed to such a short sandstorm, even if most of their bodies are covered by the yellow sand, they are still shrunk in a pile and sleep peacefully. The two didn't want to disturb the rest of the tired guys who had been running all day, so they quietly shook off the sand on their bodies, and after a few gestures to each other, they deftly climbed the gravel blocking the canyon road, and stepped on these piled stones all the way, and soon came to the exit on the other side of the canyon, looking at the abandoned village in the distance under the cold moonlight, and the scene seemed even more bleak.

"Mu Mu, I seem to remember it......" The ruins and ruins of some of the former prosperous villages left in the bleak white moonlight in front of her eyes stimulated the memories in the depths of Guihai Luoxue's mind, so that she couldn't help but recall softly to Lin Mumu: " I remember that the old man once said that this Huahu Village was originally a desert post station more famous than the Tumen Inn, because of the reason that the wind and sand can be blocked by the tall mountain walls on all sides, it is also the only oasis in the desert, and the hard-working Huahu Village people grow all kinds of vegetables and fruits that are difficult to find in the desert here, and then transported to all corners of the barren desert by the past merchants......"

Speaking of this, Guihai Luoxue turned to Lin Mumu regretfully, and sighed lightly: "Alas, it was originally such a good place, but it was the same as Lingjian Mountain, and in the end, it still did not escape the doom of being brutally destroyed, this water demon and Yin Mo's gang of bastards are simply too hateful!"

"Wait, Xuexue, I seem to have remembered it too! The gold that Brother Shi Ruo went to find is also from this Huahu Village! And now Yin Mo also asked this stupid fat man to transport those weird things here, and the person who won't connect with Yin Mo is that gold, right? Brother Shi Ruo...... Will he be in any danger if he is in any danger?"

Listening to Guihai Luoxue's words, Lin Mumu suddenly exclaimed this amazing discovery, and Guihai Luoxue's eyes widened at this time, and he said in surprise: "Probably not......, right? It can't be so outrageous, is it?...... But it's hard to say, even I'm starting to worry a little now!"

After the two finished speaking, they both sat on the gravel pile with their chin on their faces helplessly, and after a moment of contemplation, Guihai Luoxue still got up and sighed to Lin Mumu who was full of melancholy: "Alas, okay, Mu Xiaomu, no matter how much we worry about it now, it will be useless, no matter whether my brother is pulled to steam or boil, we can't intervene." So let's first study how far we have to go this time!"

Lin Mumu had no choice but to nod helplessly, and climbed the higher rock wall with her, and the two looked at it, and they were even more puzzled, because the distance from the current position of the camel team to the mouth of the next canyon, even if it was a day and night, was enough for these slow camels to walk for a month.

"Mu Mu, I'm beginning to wonder now, did Yin Mo already know that we were here to help him press the goods, and deliberately skipped us to play! Although these things are not ice cubes, and they don't seem to melt away, but after walking in such a hot desert for so long, will there really be no problems? Or does he not care about this batch of goods at all?"

Guihai Luoxue looked at the long road in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh softly to Lin Mumu, but Lin Mumu frowned and thought: "No! Xuexue, I think there are still a lot of strange things in this." First of all, Yin Mo should have been letting this stupid fat man transport these goods for some time, although those little guys who followed the stupid fat man said that they had only received this batch of goods recently, but it was also before we came to the Tumen Inn, and with the style of our eldest uncle, no one would be able to guess what he would do next, so Yin Mo couldn't know that it was us who came to press the goods for him. ”

When Lin Mumu said this, he suddenly paused, and then his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "No, no, no, no! Yin Mo didn't care at all if there would be any problems with this batch of goods in the hot desert, but he was looking forward to what problems would happen to them!" That day, we also heard from that little guy that when they secretly opened a cargo box at the beginning, they only saw the strange flowers in the ice cubes, and did not say that there was anything else in these flowers, and when we pried open the cargo box last night, the red spheres in the hearts of those flowers were no longer the size that they would not notice at first glance, which means that those blood-red balls are alive and will grow!"

After hearing this, Guihai Luoxue's eyes widened in surprise, and he whispered in a somewhat frightened voice: "You mean, Yin Mo is using the high temperature in this desert to hatch those eggs that don't know what they are?" But although this desert is hot during the day, the temperature difference at night is also very large, if it is the egg of some kind of animal, won't it be flashed to death by the cold of the night?"

Lin Mumu shook his head solemnly, "I heard Brother Muyan say that the creatures that lay eggs in the desert must have a layer of mucous membrane on the surface of their egg shells that can keep them warm, so that the little life inside will not be affected by the temperature difference between day and night." And now that I think about it, the 'ice cubes' we talked about and what we saw last night probably did just that. ”

"Huh, it's disgusting!" Guihai Luoxue glanced at the hand she had touched yesterday with the 'ice cube', shivered with disgust, and asked Lin Mumu casually: "Eh, Mumu, haven't you heard your brother Muyan say, what are those blood-red eggs born of?"

When Lin Mumu heard her question, he instantly came to his senses, and explained to her in detail one by one with his fingers like a few treasures: "No, and Brother Muyan has basically taken me to see everything in the desert! The eggs of the sand scorpion are blue-black, the sand worm is dark green, the sand earthworm is purple, the sand ant is black, and there are small white spots; the most beautiful thing is the eggs of the sand mites, which are bright yellow! It is my favorite color! And there are ......."

"Stop, stop, Sister Mumu, I was wrong! I won't ask you such questions in the future, so you can spare me, don't let me spit out all the sand and dust that I finally ate just now to help digestion. Guihai Luoxue listened to Lin Mumu's more and more joy, so she quickly stopped her before she said something that she couldn't stand it, and pointed to the deserted village below to change the topic, "Although this village has been abandoned for a long time, since Yin Mo wants to connect with that stupid fat man here, should we go down and have a look first?"

Although Guihai Luoxue said such bold words, she couldn't help but be a little scared in her heart, after all, this was the first time that the two of them came out to carry out a mission without any support, and in this first time, they encountered a troublesome character like Yin Mo.

Lin Mumu was also a little scared, but she swallowed her saliva, plucked up the courage and whispered to Guihai Luoxue: "Xuexue, I seem to have understood the purpose of an uncle who threw us out again." ”

Guihai Luoxue also sighed helplessly: "Yes! Although I am still angry when I think about it, but this is also an affirmation of our ability by that uncle, right?"

"Little boys, if you don't even have the ability to run away when you encounter danger, let's die early and go out of sight!" Lin Mumu listened to Guihai Luoxue's sigh, and said with a serious frown like a president, and after speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and raised each other's eyebrows.

"Let's go, then?"

"Let's go!"

The two jumped off the gravel briskly, quietly sneaked in the abandoned Huahu Village, and after going around most of the Huahu Village, they hid together in an abandoned house that only half of the side was left, shrunk in a covered corner, and began to talk in a whisper.

"Xue Xue, it's strange here, isn't it a village that has been infected by demonic energy, how can it be so clean?"

Guihai Luoxue shook his head and replied: "No, the abandoned houses I saw just now do have traces of being infected by demonic energy, but they seem to have been purified by the priests. ”

"Could it be that the uncle sent Cang Lan here?" Lin Mumu asked in a low voice while carefully raising her head to look around the situation, Guihai Luoxue also took this opportunity to use her tracking technique that she had already practiced.

"This breath is not Canglan, but it is very familiar......" Guihai Luoxue tried to recall the breath she felt in the tracking technique, and whispered to Lin Mumu, but suddenly opened her eyes and said: "By the way, this is the breath of Brother Chubai and that uncle!" Mu Mu, do you remember that when we were training on Lingjian Mountain, we got up one morning and found that the uncle and Brother Chubai were gone, and only left us a note, asking us to be self-reliant, and it was only after a few days that they came back with a heavy face, maybe they came out to deal with the incident here at that time!"

Lin Mumu nodded approvingly after hearing this, and thought again: "Xuexue, I think we can't just spend time with that stupid fat man in this month of detour, we also split up to find a way to inquire about some useful clues." And I just thought of a way to keep us from showing up when the fat man delivers. Here's how we can ......."

Lin Mumu suddenly laughed evilly as she spoke, and then leaned into Guihai Luoxue's ear and said her plan, and then the two of them had the same evil smile, and sneaked back to Chen Fatzi's camp unconsciously.

So early the next morning, when Fat Chen woke up and climbed out of his boxcar, shouting loudly for the little guys to quickly bolt the camel back to the truck, the two deliberately pretended to be speechless in front of Fat Chen, muttering something quietly, and still pushing each other and didn't seem to dare to come forward and talk to Fat Chen, and the stupid Fat Chen also cooperated and fell into the trap of the two, and soon came over to ask.

"Seeing that the two girls wanted to speak and stopped, but what difficulties did they encounter? If there is anything I can do to help, please try to speak as much as possible, and you are welcome. ”

Seeing that the dead fat man leaned towards the two of them with squints in his eyes, Guihai Luoxue hurriedly spoke up, pretending to be embarrassed and asked, "Boss Chen, the person who asked you to pull the goods this time is a tall and thin masked man, and he is still wearing a pair of strange black gloves?"

Fat Chen immediately nodded ignorantly, "Yes, what's the matter? The two of you also know the boss, have you also helped him press the goods?"

After listening to Chen Fatzi, the faces of the two suddenly sank, although Chen Fatzi didn't know why, but also faintly felt a trace of unease, just wanted to open his mouth to ask again, but saw Guihai Luoxue as if he had made a lot of determination, suddenly raised his head and said to him seriously: "Boss Chen, I'm sorry, I'm afraid we can't help you press down on this trip." ”
