The fins are gone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The huge dark gray dorsal fins of the giant monsters disappeared beneath the sand.

Magellan looked up and looked around, and there was nothing but blood and death.

He lowered his head and plunged his sword into the sand.

Blood gushed out, like a spring.

Magellan looked at his distorted bright red reflection, then looked up.

"That's it. ”

The countess closed the large book in her hand, and the splendid shell was covered with a layer of glittering gold ornamentation.

"There are no big fish alive here. ”

Magellan shook his head and walked past a pool of blood, his hair stained with blood, curdled in the scorching sun, which was very uncomfortable.

"There's no need to leave in a hurry. ”

"If you can stand it. The countess meant, and her words made Magellan feel the smell of blood even more unbearable, "The camel may be dead." ”

"Where there's water, there's camels. ”

"It's gambling. ”

"We always have to take some time to collect fresh water. ”

The Countess nodded: "So I won't give you extra time." ”

"Meow. ”

The kitten glanced at the bloody and bloody Magellan in disgust, and then jumped into the arms of the countess.

......

Magellan's wounds worsened.

The healed part of the scar on his chest was ripped open, and the pain was even more difficult to ignore after the battle.

But Magellan still circled the dunes every day in the sun.

He was waiting for some camel with a keen sense of smell, perhaps domesticated, perhaps a wild trouble.

The sun's rays are unbearable.

The countess used her magic to create a bunker to collect fresh water, and they were about to leave.

But without camels, the rest of the journey would be maddening.

Magellan was still quietly in the shadow of the dunes, looking out at the horizon in the setting sun and morning light.

"If you want, we can also wait here for a day and collect some fresh water for you to take a shower. ”

"No, I don't. ”

"Meow. ”

Miss Betty laughed mercilessly at Magellan, who did not like the man covered in blood.

They stepped into the airship, a fusiform silvery-white object that extended an extra part to accommodate an extra passenger, without detracting from its beauty and grace, but Magellan sat in it involuntarily disappointed at his filth and fishiness.

The path they had come had been wiped out by the sandstorm, but fortunately, the king of the sandstorm was dead, and they could leave the desert as long as they did not lose their way.

It's going to be a maddening journey, a desert that never changes, an oasis out of reach, a dead yellow world.

But the good thing is that the Nile will be waiting for them at the finish line, and they have already got Thoth's left hand.

Just as the ship hummed softly and prepared to depart, Magellan saw a black dot on the horizon.

"Camels?"

"Camels. ”

Magellan rushed out, empty-handed.

"Meow ......"

The kitten proudly watched Magellan's back approach the camel, then turned his face and rubbed it on the countess's cheek.

"Meow. ”

......

A wild and untamable camel carries Magellan and some fresh water on its back and walks in front of the flying boat.

It didn't like the extra burden on its back, but in the face of the threat of death and the constant reminder of its sting, the beast exercised maximum restraint.

That doesn't mean it abandons the usual behavior of sudden escape and deviation from the established route.

Magellan still loves it.

In order to protect the beast, they reversed day and night, resting in the hot days and hurrying in the cold nights, which they would not have had to do if Magellan had been on a flying boat.

Miss Betty did not pass up this opportunity to mock Magellan, she did not like savages and did not like beasts.

After an oasis that three camels found on their way to escape, they are finally about to reach the end and leave the desert.

The final stop is a bazaar in an oasis, where the warrior trail begins and ends for thousands of years, but only the caravans of good luck have ever returned, not a single warrior.

In any case, Magellan's luck was good, they still had some fresh water left, and they could rest well in the bazaar, and by the way, let go of the camel that never gave up the pursuit of freedom.

When a mirage belonging to a bazaar appeared on the horizon, the camel also smelled of humans. So it burst out with the courage to die and carried out a suicidal struggle.

Magellan finally let go of the beast and walked forward with the shriveled water bladder on his back.

He would do it because he didn't think it mattered, but as it turned out, it wasn't.

He was greeted in the bazaar by a troop of sand thieves.

At the edge of the oasis is a high wall hidden behind the wide green leaves of the palms, and the people who live here build the wall, not to resist sandstorms, but to guard against sand pirates, and unfortunately, they failed.

As Magellan approached the narrow gap in the wall, he was greeted by the vibration of the bowstring mixed with the sound of gunfire, arrows and bullets.

He rolled to the side in embarrassment, hiding behind the wall, and with a loud bang, the wall fell towards him.

The countess saved Magellan, who was in danger of being destroyed, and she pulled the latter with her hook to dodge the fallen wall and a dangerous arrow.

Magellan's clothes were full of sand, and he scrambled to get up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of sand mixed with it, and rushed towards the side of the line of sand thieves.

Then where he passed, the walls fell, and the sand thieves behind raised bows and muskets.

In front of Magellan's eyes was another sandstorm, with no gaps between the flying bullets and the swords that could be passed through by one man.

He swerved and backed away, fleeing the storm of death, then stood on the dunes and watched as the sand pirates laid down their weapons.

"Camel ......"

Magellan remembered the beast that had just left him.

"You've got me in a lot of trouble. ”

He was tired and hungry, and knowing that the oasis was ahead, Magellan had walked through a stretch of desert near noon, which was now on the verge of collapse.

The camels foresaw all this, and the sand thieves had been waiting here for a long time.

"Perfect plan. ”

Magellan glanced at the sword in his hand, and then walked towards the flying boat.

The sand thieves did not move, they did not rush out to chase and kill, and they did not leave the line.

"The camel wants to see me turn into a dry corpse. Magellan stood beside the countess, looking at the array of sand thieves in the distance.

"As a bunch of sand pirates, they've done amazing things. ”

Helen's tone was full of pity.

"It's a shame I don't have time for them to survive. ”

Sand waves rose and engulfed the entire oasis.
