Stretches of sand dunes obscured the view, and only the sand on the dunes could be seen being lifted up with gusts of wind.

There was a lot of yellow sand around, and there was no other green plant, not even any plants in sight, not even the survivable plants on the desert.

A ragged man climbed up the sand dunes step by step, it was a tall young man, with broad shoulders and strong body, strong muscles on his exposed arms, dragging a simple stone hammer in one hand, which was made of local materials at first glance, and was made improvise, the stone hammer was not groomed, nor was it drilled, but directly tied a stone with a stone stick, with a very tough vine in the desert, and a strip of cloth was added.

The criss-crossed wounds on the exposed arm had been coagulated, and the coagulated blood could be clearly seen mixed with sand and dust. I could feel the stinging pain from the wounds on my body with every step, but after getting used to it, I became numb and gradually ignored the pain.

Not far behind him, there were several unkempt people, the clothes on their bodies were no longer of any color, their lips chapped due to lack of water were slightly white, their eyes were blank, and they just mechanically followed the people in front of them. If given the choice, they don't even want to breathe, the air is too hot and dry, and the wind carries the smell of death and despair.

"Da Ren, do you see anything ahead?" asked an older man, his voice dry and sluggish, every word struggling to say, slowly squeezing out.

The person who has climbed the sand ridge is propped up on the ground with a stone hammer, and most of the weight of his body is pressed against the stone hammer to reduce the load, and his eyes are looking into the distance. He originally carried a sword in his hand, and that sword was by far the most successful weapon he had built himself, and the craftsmen always liked to carry their excellent results in their hands, which was also a demonstration of ability. But here. Those excellent results have become dangerous things, and until now, all he can hold in his hands is a simple stone hammer that he would never even look at before.

Hearing the inquiry of the person behind him, Gong Jiaren shook his head. Drag the stone hammer down.

The person who originally had a little hope, hearing such a reply, his eyes were dead dead again.

They have been walking in this desert for seventeen days, and have lived for so many years, when have they ever been so embarrassed? This is the first time they have encountered this kind of suffering, and when they were in the royal city, as soon as they said that they were from the Gongjia family, naturally some people would come to give gifts, and there were slaves to serve in their lives. All they wanted to do every day was cast, and they didn't need to bother with the rest, but now, they regretted it.

Regret that you didn't learn more survival skills, regret that you didn't follow the right person, regret that you took this step, and if you stayed in Wangcheng at that time, you would have chosen a different path. Wouldn't it be better?

Ten people came together, and while crossing the sea, one was shot and killed. I don't know where the arrow was released, but fortunately, Gongjia was vigilant enough to take everyone to dodge, otherwise more people would die.

But after stepping into the desert, they found that the back was even more difficult. They were the ones who had evaded the pursuit. They also avoided the people of Yanling, but there were not many dangers in the desert, and the remaining nine people, two were dragged away by the desert beasts for food, and one betrayed them. He also snatched the sword from Gong Jia Ren. Probably to use Jiaheng's sword to join the sand thieves.

Yes, in the desert, in addition to the people of the rock tomb, there are some scattered small forces, some of which are composed of former slaves, and some are controlled by escaped slave owners. The people of Yanling have now shifted their target and ignored them, giving these small forces a chance to breathe. And those people, who did not dare to provoke Yanling, killed others who passed through the desert and robbed them of their property.

After the two landmasses approached, there were also many people over there, thinking of passing through the desert from a place far away from the core of the rock tomb, but it also made it easier for those sand thieves to act, and the sand thieves did not want to get too close to the rock tomb.

During their seventeen days in the desert, they saw many bones buried in the sand, and no one knew who they were or from which continent. Along the way, I saw a team of sand pirates, who buried themselves in the sand and hid behind the sand dunes to avoid danger.

Now, there are only six of them left.

"It would be nice if we could find a source of water now. A man who was a little younger than Gongjia licked his chapped lips, and seeing that everyone was depressed, he took a deep breath, pulled out a smile, and comforted, "There will always be a turnaround, at least we are still alive." ”

"Ahh

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong under his feet, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. Although they have little experience in such an environment, they have also become a little vigilant about the crisis after so many days.

"Be careful!" shouted Gong Jiaren.

A sand lizard suddenly sprang out from under the sand, biting the legs of the person who had just stood there and was about to retreat, and was about to drag it down.

The others didn't care about sighing and sighing now, and hurriedly hugged the upper half of the person's body. One of their two companions who had been eaten by the sand beasts had been dragged into the ground so fast that they couldn't even pull it.

Although the sand lizard had no teeth, its mouth was so powerful that the man couldn't kick his legs, and the more he struggled, the tighter the sand lizard bit and pulled back, as if trying to snatch the prey from his companions.

"Ahh

The person who was bitten on both legs screamed in pain, this was not the weak sigh just now, the scream was even more miserable, he had no doubt that if he continued like this, he would be directly torn off!

Boom!

A stone hammer slammed into the sand lizard's head, which was exposed to the sand, making a sound of a hard object crashing.

The sand lizard's scaly head was smashed off a slap-large area, blood flowed out, and its mouth was released from the smash.

The man who broke away from the beast's mouth quickly stepped back, ignoring the pain in his leg, looking for the stone that had just been thrown by him. They had no weapons in their hands, so they could only pick up some stones and other things to use as weapons, or some animal bones and human bones that they saw on the way, and make do with them.

The others also used the stones in their hands to smash at the sand lizard, or stabbed the sand lizard with sharpened bones, but unfortunately, the sand lizard saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to run down, but it was hammered down again, and the air flow driven by the hammer made a whirring sound and smashed directly into its eyes.

It was as if the cries of grinding grit came from the mouth of the sand lizard, and the head that shrank back was smashed to the side. The others also hurried to follow, smashing and stabbing at the vulnerable parts of the sand lizard's head.

After getting out of danger, they have already realized that this is food, food that is rarely seen.

Everyone stared at the sand lizard's eyes, which glowed a fierce green light.

Finally, after the sand lizard was forcibly pulled out of the sand, it was besieged by the combined force of six people, and it died.

Gong Jia Ren sat down on the sand, panting, and after smashing three hammers just now, he almost used up his strength to pull the sand lizard out of the sand from the bottom of the sand.

Not only Gong Jia was tough, but everyone else also fell on the sand, and the strength to stand was gone.

However, this sand lizard that had just died, if it was not dealt with quickly, would attract other sand beasts, so the six of them did not have time to rest slowly.

Gong Jia Ren crawled over and took a sip of the blood that flowed from the sand lizard's body, he didn't know if the blood was poisonous or not, but he had no choice.

The blood was thick and fishy, and there were a lot of sand grains, and they didn't care about it, and they all crawled onto the dead sand lizard, licking the blood and eating the flesh, like other fierce beasts in the desert. It's all forced out by survival.

Whoa, whoa, whoa—

The sound of sand sliding sounded.

The six of them looked around vigilantly, and at this glance, their pupils shrunk and their faces turned gray with fright.

One, two, three, four...... Five, a total of five sand lizards came out of the sand and surrounded them.

The one just now had almost exhausted their strength, and although they drank some beast blood, they couldn't recover in such a short time, let alone deal with five sand lizards at the same time!

Finished!

It was the only thing they could think of at this point.

"How, how...... What should I do?" one of them shuddered, licking the blood of the beast just now, licking his face with blood, and when the wind blew, a lot of sand was sticking to it, and he could no longer see his face clearly, only those frightened eyes.

What else can I do? Either die or fight to the death, there are only two options.

Can they outrun the sand lizards with their current physical strength?

Gong Jia Ren closed his eyes and clenched his hand gripping the stone hammer. They have no way to retreat, too, there was no way to retreat as early as when they were in Wangcheng, and it was Gong Jiaheng who asked them to flee here. It's been so long to live. It wasted so much effort on Gong Jiaheng, and in the end they still couldn't get out of here.

Since you can't avoid death, you have to fight!

Opening his eyes suddenly, Gong Jiaren looked at the approaching sand lizard in front of him, and dragged the stone hammer to his feet, wiping the blood around his eyes so as not to interfere with his vision.

"Tenacity ......"

The people who were still lying next to the dead sand lizard, seeing Gong Jia Ren like this, also wiped their faces, and picked up the stones and bones at hand, although they knew that this little thing in their hands would not play a role in dealing with these sand lizards at all, but now they have no other weapons in their hands at all, it is better to have something than empty hands, if they can't survive it, they can end themselves.

Looking at the approaching sand lizard, Gongjia Heng rushed forward, his eyes were full of determination, and a loud roar burst out of his throat.

The sand lizard, which was getting closer and closer to Gongjiaheng, turned around and ran.

The armor toughness that has picked up the stone hammer: "......"

Others: "......"

Look at the sand lizards that surrounded them in other directions, they all ran, the one that ran fast, as if they were fleeing for their lives.

Boom!

Somewhere on the ground the sand burst, a sand lizard was lifted off and rolled several times in the air.

A figure burst out from under the sand, glowing blue under the scorching sun.

"Good...... What a big bug!" (To be continued.) )
