Uncle Will is not a man who loves archaeology, he just sees archaeology as a profession, a legitimate profession.

For a black man with a low degree of education, although the profession of archaeology has certain risks, it also provides a certain salary guarantee, and most importantly, the profession is legitimate.

This is the reason why Uncle Will chose archaeology, Bai Chen can quite understand Uncle Will's thoughts.

But maybe it's because of the growing environment since he was a child, so Uncle Will seems a little sensitive, and always subconsciously feels that the other party is discriminating against his skin color for some inadvertent offenses.

After the sun went down, the two off-road vehicles arrived at the predetermined station, on a rocky beach.

By this time, the cold wind of the desert had begun to permeate, and the people skillfully lit the fire, and then began to set up camp and prepare food.

Even the older Add is responsible for some of the easier tasks, such as lighting a fire and keeping it from being extinguished by the cold wind.

"Hey, Oriental, what about you. Ken walked up to Bai Chen, who was sitting in front of the fire: "Since you have entered our team, you must act according to the rules of our team, and our team does not raise idlers." ”

"Then what do you think I should do?" Bai Chen looked at Ken with a smile.

Ken squinted his eyes, he didn't like Bai Chen, just as Bai Chen didn't like him at the first glance when he saw Ken, both of them could clearly feel each other's attitude.

"There are a lot of poisonous snakes around here, I want you to get rid of the poisonous snakes in the neighborhood. ”

"Ken ......" Eddie couldn't help frowning when he heard the task that Ken assigned to Bai Chen, after all, Bai Chen was sent into the team by Prince Abu. Although Prince Abu said that Bai Chen would not drag down their archaeological team. But Eddie still felt the need to take care of Bai Chen a little.

Let Bai Chen clean up the poisonous snakes in the desert. This is a very dangerous task.

"Teacher, I think this is a test for him, if he wants to stay in this team, he must prove his existence worth, otherwise, it is better to let him leave quickly. ”

"Poisonous snakes?" Bai Chen pulled out a few poisonous snakes from behind his back: "It seems that you are a very experienced explorer, and our ideas coincide, but you seem to be too late." I've disposed of all the venomous snakes in the neighborhood. ”

"Yo! white ......" Uncle Will looked at the poisonous snakes, and immediately stepped forward, and took the sticks and put them all in strings, "We have oral mouths tonight, and these rattlesnakes and sand vipers are good things." ”

Moving in the desert, because of the restrictions on movement, they can't carry too much salute, water and food are the most important things for the desert to survive.

Moreover, on long-distance desert travel, it is necessary to find out the various water sources, and as for food, except for some of the dry food they carry. Many of them are sourced locally.

None of the members of the archaeological team were reluctant to eat snakes, even the delicate-looking Sera. I've become accustomed to it.

"Are you sure the vipers around here have been cleaned up?" Ken asked, still questioning with some aggressiveness.

"If you don't believe me, check again, you've already set up your tent anyway. Bai Chen shrugged and said.

"And what if I catch another poisonous snake?"

"If you can catch another snake around here, then in the next few days, I will be in charge of the task of setting up your tent. ”

"That's what you said. Ken sneered, and he waited for Bai Chen's words.

In fact, Bai Chen caught a few poisonous snakes, and the risk of being bitten by poisonous snakes at night has been reduced, and no one can guarantee the absolute safety of camping in the desert.

Ken naturally felt that Bai Chen was just coping with the situation, and even if there were no poisonous snakes nearby, he could go a little farther away to catch a snake.

To put it bluntly, Ken just wants to fix Bai Chen, just to see that Bai Chen is unhappy.

As soon as Ken left, Uncle Will took the roasted snake meat out of the fire, "Old man Add, Sera, and Lilia, our dinner is ready." ”

Sera glanced at Ken's figure in the darkness in the distance, and said hesitantly, "Don't you wait for Ken?"

"I think he should have a lot to gain after waiting, there is no shortage of these snakes, a few of us will be enough to fill our stomachs. ”

Eddie glanced at Will, and then at Bai Chen: "Then let's have dinner, and go to rest after eating." ”

How can there be a harvest?

Uncle Will knows very well that both mercenaries and killers have some special potions that can repel snakes and insects.

I'm afraid that there are already snakes and insects in this vicinity, Uncle Will guessed this result when he saw Bai Chen and Ken Zhi gambling and fighting.

So he pushed the boat along the river and cooperated with Bai Chen, who made him look unpleasant.

After more than half an hour, Ken returned disgraced, empty-handed, and everyone had returned to their tents, leaving only half a compressed biscuit in front of the fire.

At this time, Ken's head was full of anger, he walked around here for a long time, but he didn't encounter a single snake, not even a non-venomous sand snake, as if it was extinct.

At this time, the wind was blowing again in the desert, and he didn't dare to go further, so he could only turn back helplessly.

As a result, the people of the archaeological team did not wait for him to eat with him at all, they had already eaten and drunk enough, and then went to rest.

Ken's mood was naturally not going to be good, and he glanced at Bai Chen's tent.

Suddenly, Ken hears the laughter of Lilia and Sera coming from Bai Chen's tent.

The anger in Ken's heart exploded in an instant, and he immediately rushed to Bai Chen's tent and opened the curtain.

"Monkeys of the East!"

"Ken, you're so rude. Lilia frowned, and Sera looked displeased.

"You are a newcomer, you keep vigil tonight!!" Ken saw that the two girls were present, so he could only suppress his anger and said coldly to Bai Chen.

"I refuse. Bai Chen glanced at Ken, and his gaze fell back on the two women: "Let's continue the topic just now, where did I go?"

"Shiro, you said that you were adrift at sea and met the great white shark, the overlord of the ocean. ”

"yes...... Then I fought the great white shark, and as you all know, fighting the great white shark at sea is simply looking for death, and my only foothold is that broken raft, which can be shattered in the waves at any moment. ”

"Did you win, then?" asked Sera nervously.

"Monkey, I'm ordering you, don't you understand me?" Ken finally couldn't hold back and poured out his anger.

"What qualifications do you have to order me?" Bai Chen looked at Ken.

"I'm the vice-captain of the archaeological team, and you're just a newcomer, and besides, don't fool people with that kind of false story, Lilia and Sera aren't so easily deceived. ”

"Have you forgotten our bet, it looks like you've lost, so you should be conscious, and you'll be in charge of the vigil every night. ”

"You didn't say that at the time, so I have no reason to accept this rude request, but you, if you refuse my order, then you get out of the archaeological team, now! immediately!"

"Ken!" Uncle Will and Eddie heard the argument and came over.

"Ken, I think you should have a little contract spirit, willing to gamble and lose, such a simple truth, don't you understand?" Uncle Will was naturally on Bai Chen's side.

"Nigga, shut up! It's not your turn to interject here. ”

"Ken, you've gone too far, I want you to apologize to Will right away!"

At this time, even Eddie couldn't listen anymore, and immediately shouted angrily.

Ken also came to his senses in an instant, no matter how unhappy he was when he saw Will, he was more qualified than himself.

And his words are no longer just aimed at Bai Chen, they have already involved personal attacks, and even discrimination against skin color.

In the archaeological field, he has always attached great importance to personal cultivation, and a person's level of cultivation also determines his achievements and future in the archaeological field.

Ken's words would even make him disqualified from archaeology.

"Uh...... Will, I have no ill intentions...... I'm very sorry for my gaffe. ”

Ken is well aware of the situation, and if he can't bow his head and admit his mistakes, then he will be isolated and lose his position in the archaeological team.

And before driving Bai Chen away, he felt that there was no need to make too many enemies.

Will's face was very unhappy, he snorted coldly, didn't say a word, and turned back to his tent.

If Will could beat up Ken at this time, it would be able to alleviate the embarrassment on the scene, but Will didn't do anything, but Eddie had to make his position clear.

"Ken, from now on, every night in the future you will have to keep vigil for half a night, rotating with other people. ”

Ken didn't dare to object to Eddie's disposition, his head bowed, his eyes full of anger.

"It doesn't seem like I'm doing anything, let's continue with the story. Bai Chen said with a smile.

Ken's gaze at Bai Chen had changed from initial rejection to hatred, and in his flickering gaze, it seemed that he was planning something.

When Bai Chen lowered the door curtain, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which happened to be seen by Ken, who immediately felt that this was Bai Chen's provocation to him.

The fire burned in the middle of the camp, as if it were burning in Ken's heart.

The anger and hatred spread uncontrollably in his heart, and as the night passed, Ken sat in front of the fire all the time, looking at Bai Chen's tent, and then at the other tents, all of which had turned off the lights.

Ken picked up a torch from the fire, slowly walked to Bai Chen's tent, shook it casually, and threw the torch on Bai Chen's tent.

The fire in the tent spread extremely quickly, but there were no ashes left in a minute or two, but Ken found that Bai Chen was not in the tent.

He originally waited for Bai Chen to be burned half to death, and then doused the flames for him, but now he found that Bai Chen was not there, which made his mood immediately fall to the bottom.

At this moment, Bai Chen came out of Lilia's tent and exclaimed at the same time: "Ken! you burned my tent!?Do you want to murder me?" )
