Chapter 193 - Different Directions (16)
Lin Mumu and Guihai Luoxue, who were standing on the top of the truck, watched a large group of desert poisonous mosquitoes fly in their direction like a sandstorm, covering the sky and the sun, Guihai Luoxue sighed at Lin Mumu with a crying voice, but Lin Mumu raised her eyebrows and smiled at her easily.
"It's all right, it's just a few little mosquitoes! And that makes the disgusting fat guy even less afraid to get out of his boxcar to harass us." ”
After Lin Mumu finished speaking, he smiled at Guihai Luoxue, stepped lightly on the top of the truck, jumped on a group of strange rocks standing tall in the sand nearby, and turned his head to the small guy who was rushing to the car in a panic below, and shouted: "Don't panic first, quickly drive the camel team to the shade behind this group of strange rocks, we will go to the front first and use fire to disperse the insect swarm, you just need to watch the goods there and not be ignited by the burning insects." ”
The panicked little guys hurriedly acted according to the words of the two, and drove the camels pulling the trucks to the back of this group of strange stone forests, while Lin Mumu and Guihai Luoxue also stood on the top of the strange rocks, building a fan-shaped wall of fire around the stone forest in front of the insect swarm that flew towards them.
I thought that this should be foolproof, and the fire-fearing insect swarm should change direction and fly in other directions around the fire wall they had built, but just when the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, they heard the buzzing sound of the insect swarm not only did not move away, but was still accelerating closer, and finally directly hit their fire wall, and rushed towards the two of them with flames all over their bodies.
Frightened, Guihai Luoxue hurriedly condensed a light shield in front of the two, and the surprised two hid in the light shield like this, watching these crazy desert poisonous mosquitoes crash straight into their fire wall, completely ignoring their own flames, slamming into the light shield in front of them like a flame*, while the insect body was torn apart, the venom in the body was instantly ignited by the residual embers.
Just as the two of them looked at the scene in front of them and thought about whether the truck below would also be ignited like this, the exclamation of the fat merchant also reached the ears of the two at the same time.
"Hurry up and put out the fire for me! Hurry up! You waste, get me moving!"
When the two of them heard the sound and looked down, they saw that the timid fat man had come out at some point, although he was still very scared and covered his head, but he also desperately screamed and scolded for the little guys to extinguish the flames that continued to burn on the container, and Guihai Luoxue also saw a strange blue light in a cargo box that was burned out of the hole, but it was immediately covered by the fat man after a flash.
Guihai Luoxue quietly made a few gestures to Lin Mumu, and then asked her to stay at the top of the strange rock to continue to maintain the wall of fire, and he jumped to the top of the truck, and summoned a huge light shield above the uncovered truck.
After a while, a huge number of poisonous mosquitoes finally flew over the area where the caravan was located, listening to the buzzing of the remaining poisonous mosquitoes gradually moved away from the area where they were, and Lin Mumu, who was about to be roasted by the scorching flames, quickly put away the wall of fire, looked around to confirm that the insect swarm had fled away, and then jumped off the cliff, pretending to be sorry to the fat man who was about to be roasted: "Boss Chen, are you okay?" This poisonous mosquito swarm came too suddenly, and it seemed to be desperately trying to escape something, and it was not even afraid of the flames. Although some of your cargo boxes have been burned, there is no other way for us to ensure your safety!"
The fat man hadn't recovered from the fright just now, but he was very irritable when he was roasted, and after pouring a few mouthfuls of water, he just wanted to change his face and attack the two of them, when he heard Guihai Luoxue sigh on the side: "Alas! But this insect swarm suddenly went crazy, there must be some huge change in front of it, not only the insect swarm will be affected, but I am afraid that the rest of the fierce beasts will also be affected, right?"
The fat man who just wanted to open his mouth to scold immediately swallowed his saliva in fright after hearing the soft sigh of the snow falling from Guihai, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a scream from one of the little guys who was busy covering the charred cargo box, and then the whole arm was instantly swollen thicker than his waist, and the lump was also tied with half of the spiked mouthparts of poisonous mosquitoes.
Seeing this, Guihai Luoxue didn't have time to pay attention to the fat man, so he hurriedly ran to the side of the little guy who had fainted, pulled out the mouthparts of the half of the poisonous mosquito, and while using the poison expulsion to help him treat, he reminded the rest of the small people who sorted out the goods: "Some of these poisonous mosquitoes whose wings have been burned off are not yet dead, you must be careful when sorting out the containers, although I am a priest, I can help you remove the venom from the wounds, but this fatal pain is beyond anyone's power." ”
After returning to the sea and falling snow, he smiled at Boss Chen with great interest, "It is not easy for snakes, insects, rats and ants in this desert to survive in this harsh environment, and they are often highly poisonous, so please ask Boss Chen to be careful." ”
Boss Chen listened to the words of Guihai Luoxue and Lin Mumu, his face turned pale with fright, and he looked at the fainted little guy with a painful expression, and immediately laughed at the two of them a few times, and while drinking and ordering the rest of the little guys to quickly replace all the burned tarpaulins, he hurriedly got back into his boxcar.
After a period of busy tidying up, the camel caravan finally set off again, this time the fat man seemed not even to dare to come out to ride, but poked his head out of the boxcar, and after a rough confirmation, he let the little guy drive the camel on the road.
Guihai Luoxue and Lin Mumu were still sitting in the last truck, but this time there was the injured and unconscious little guy just now, and the timid Boss Chen had never come out since he got into his boxcar.
After a day and a night of steady travel, when they saw the sunset dyeing half of the sky red again, the two saw that the little guy finally woke up, and his face was much better, so they gave him some water and food, and pretended to chat and asked him about the goods that Boss Chen pulled this time, who knew that there were some very amazing discoveries.
According to the little guy, this Boss Chen used to resell some high-value animal skins, and he could make a lot of money after a trip, but this time he unexpectedly did not buy a batch of very good furs at a low price, but got this batch of strange boxes that I don't know what they contained, and boasted to the little guys very proudly that the money earned this time will definitely be a hundred times that of the previous one.
When Guihai Luoxue heard this, he remembered the strange blue light he saw from the cargo box yesterday, and seemed to suddenly have some clues, but he pretended to be very curious and asked the little guy: "Eh, this little brother, do you know what kind of treasures Boss Chen's such valuable goods are?"
The little guy also had a strong interest in them because he saw their ability to brag about them yesterday, and he looked at them carefully, and after letting them get together, he whispered to them: "We were also curious about this matter at the beginning, so when we were loading, when Boss Chen was not paying attention, we secretly opened a cargo box and took a look, but those of us who have never seen anything in the world really don't know what it is, but we just think it looks like a big ice cube with a few blue strange flowers frozen in the middle." We also secretly laughed at Boss Chen, thinking that he had been deceived, but after walking in this hot desert for several days, we did not see the melted liquid flowing out of those containers, and then we suddenly recalled that when we secretly opened the container, we didn't seem to feel any coldness from the ice. ”
When the little guy said this, he asked them with a curious face: "Seeing that the two of you are extraordinary, they must be well-informed people, but have you ever known what kind of treasure that looks like an ice cube?"
When listening to Xiao Wu talk about the blue strange flowers, Guihai Luoxue and Lin Mumu both thought of the poisonous flower of Phantom Grass in an instant, but after listening to Xiao Wu's words quietly, they frowned and analyzed him perfunctorily: "Speaking of things that are as transparent as ice cubes and do not melt, they are probably relatively rare crystals, right? This is a very valuable luxury ornament! No wonder Boss Chen is so careful! But the person who sells so many such precious treasures must also have a lot of origins, right?"
After Lin Mumu gave the little guy a nonsense, he pretended to ask casually with admiration on his face, but the little guy frowned and recalled: "I really can't see what the origin is, but he is a very strange person, he is still covered with black gauze when he talks about business with people, he is tall and thin, and he also wears a pair of black gloves that impress us the most, as if they are made of the scale armor of some fierce beast." ”
With the description of this little guy, the name Yin Mo jumped into the minds of Lin Mumu and Guihai Luoxue at the same time, and after the two exchanged glances in secret, they continued to ask leisurely and casually: "Eh, by the way, this little brother, do you know where Boss Chen's batch of goods is going?"
However, this time, the little guy shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I really don't know this, every time we ask Boss Chen this question, he is always very impatient to let us do our own thing, don't ask around." He also said that this batch of goods is precious, and he has to go to the Tumen Inn and ask the proprietress to find him two powerful cargo pressers, so he will find the two of you. ”
When Lin Mumu heard this, his eyes rolled, and he was about to continue to set the words of this little guy, but he suddenly heard the roar of a huge beast, and then the sound of a large group of large beasts running wildly came from the front and rear of the camel caravan.
Lin Mumu could only pout at Guihai Luoxue with a helpless face: "I think we should not use any poisonous insects and beasts to scare that fat man in the future, otherwise I don't know how long the good luck of the two of us will last!"
