Chapter 158: Sand Pirates
At night in the desert, the moonlight is like water, the stars are shining, and in a dead oasis, a red bonfire exudes a warm glow.
"Sun Licheng, how did you find the water?"
Solomon, the half-elf, walked over and asked.
Sun Licheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "This can be regarded as a racial talent, I can perceive the situation underground." ”
Solomon sat down and threw a piece of wood into the campfire, which at once engulfed it with a crackling sound.
"I am one hundred and thirty years old this year, and I have seen countless people and things, but I have never seen such a strange person as you. ”
Solomon's words shocked Sun Licheng's heart. However, when he thought about it, he was indifferent, elves can live to at least two hundred years old, and many half-elves have also inherited the longevity of elves, living to be more than one hundred and thirty years old, which is equivalent to the middle age of human beings.
"What's wrong with me?"
Sun Licheng smiled and asked.
"No one uses spells to do things like finding water, and mages don't work with shovels in their hands, not even goblin wizards, so you're not a real goblin. ”
After Solomon finished speaking, he looked into Sun Licheng's eyes.
"Really? But I'm a goblin. Also, Sir Solomon, I would like to ask you which god your Majesty you believe in?"
Sun Licheng did not dodge, but continued to look at Solomon.
"I believe in Your Majesty, the god of troubadours and thieves. What about you?"
Solomon asked.
Sun Licheng smiled and said, "I believe in His Majesty, the God of the Earth, and I am preparing for his resurrection. ”
Solomon suddenly realized and nodded.
The two talked a little more, and Solomon went back to rest.
Looking at Solomon's back, Sun Licheng breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "Fortunately, I am not a believer in the God of Conspiracy, it seems that I am suspicious." But why is this Solomon so concerned about me?"
Early the next morning, Sun Licheng woke everyone up, and everyone was ready to go.
"Sun Licheng, you made a well yesterday?"
Caroline asked, pointing to the new well.
Sun Licheng hugged his daughter-in-law with a smile and whispered: "It's fate to meet, I've checked, and there is a lot of water in the underground dark river." With this well, travelers will be able to repair it here as well. ”
"I didn't see that your heart is so good. ”
Caroline scratched Sun Licheng's nose with her little hand and said with a smile.
"If Lord Sun Licheng does this, he will be protected by God. With this well, life will continue to emerge here. When we come back, we will probably have a shepherd herding sheep here. ”
Tuckermu laughed, and as soon as he pulled the reins of the monitor lizard, the giant lizard hissed and set off in a southwestern direction.
After Sun Licheng and the others walked for a long time, the sand of the ruins of the oasis shook slightly, and after a while, the skeleton of a humanoid creature staggered up from the sand.
The skeleton looked around, and soon saw the rudimentary well that Sun Licheng had made.
The skeleton clicked over, carefully examined it, and turned its head to look in the direction Sun Licheng and the others had left.
I saw the ghost fire in the skeleton's eyes flicker a few times, and ran out of the oasis. It wasn't long before a hiss sounded in the sky like the friction of an iron plate, and a huge bony eagle appeared.
The eagle circled over the oasis for two weeks, then pounced on the skeleton, and when it reached the top of the skeleton, it saw the skeleton leap upwards and grab the giant talons of the bone eagle with both hands, and then the eagle chirped and flew away with the skeleton.
Sun Licheng and the others rode the monitor lizard and walked for another three days, and finally, Takmu excitedly shouted to everyone: "There is the famous date oasis ahead, everyone work hard and strive to arrive before dark." The dates there are famously delicious. ”
The people who were a little dazed immediately lifted their spirits, especially Caroline, who heard that there were dates to eat, and couldn't help but start urging everyone to speed up.
They walked for another hour, and suddenly, Sun Licheng's face changed, and he shouted: "There is a situation, everyone is on guard!"
Several others were startled, looking at the emptiness around them, where there was danger. However, walking in the sea of sand requires great care, and even if they don't see danger, everyone quickly draws their weapons.
Time passed a little nervously, and just as Caroline wanted to ask Sun Licheng what was going on, a black cloud appeared in the sky, no, it was not a black cloud, but hundreds of camel cavalry.
"Damn, it's a sand thief! Be careful, these people never stay alive!"
Takmu was shocked, and he hurriedly shouted to the others.
"What a great sense of perception. ”
Solomon looked at the sand thieves who were still the size of ants in the distance, but he was surprised that Sun Licheng was able to detect the crisis so early.
Compared to the monitor lizard, which resembled an old cow, the camel was much faster, and in a short time the sand thieves were approaching.
Sun Licheng looked at these sand thieves curiously.
The Sand Pirates rode a tall camel, which resembled the rest of the world, but was much larger, and the key was that it was significantly faster.
The sand thieves were wrapped in large linen cloaks, with large turbans over their heads, revealing only a pair of grim eyes.
Sun Licheng saw that the weapons of these sand thieves were quite sophisticated, basically each of them had a bronze war knife and a round shield with wood inlaid with copper skin. Unfortunately, because they were covered with wide robes, they could not tell what the armor was inside.
"Can it be resolved peacefully?"
Sun Licheng asked Takmu.
The latter shook his head and said, "Impossible." In a place like the Sand Sea, where supplies are precious, so many people and camels come out without harvest, it is tantamount to suicide for the sand pirates. ”
"What are you afraid of, Sun Licheng, you go and kill them all. ”
Caroline had already taken out the exaggerated nailed mace at this time, waving it and shouting at Sun Licheng.
Sun Licheng smiled bitterly, jumped off the monitor lizard, and walked towards the sand thieves with a big knife.
The sand thieves did not expect that the prey was not only not frightened, but also came over without knowing whether it was alive or dead. The leader said a few words to the side, and immediately, the two sand thieves shouted and urged the camels to run towards Sun Licheng.
Sun Liwei wanted to talk to the sand thieves, but seeing the other party's meaning, it was obvious that he wanted to take a knife against himself, so he could only stop helplessly and prepare to attack.
With a loud bang, the leader of the sand thieves watched in amazement as one of his men and the camels under him flew into the sky. Just now, the subordinate had already adjusted his posture and was about to cut off Sun Licheng's head with a single sword.
In this sea of sand, without luggage and monitor lizards, it is absolutely impossible to live, and directly killing the robbed person can be regarded as a professional ethic as a sand thief, or a kind of compassion.
Unexpectedly, I saw a flash of brilliance on the stupid hat that came alone, and his subordinates were knocked away.
"Okay, Sun Licheng, crush all their follicles!"
Caroline shouted from behind.
Sun Licheng covered his face and said in his heart: "Rude girls, can you be gentle, you are not an ogre now." ”
At this time, another sand thief also arrived.
