"Quick! hurry up and bring the space magic container filled with water!" a sand thief shouted excitedly, scooping the water with both hands and slapping it in his face with a roar, his mouth wide open, and he sucked greedily.

In the desert, the most precious thing is not gold coins, not philosopher's stones, not women, but water!

Some people say: The vast desert is like a dead and silent sea of sand. Majestic, quiet. Always a scorching yellow. It is as if nature has frozen the turbulent waves and the empty angry waves here in an instant, making it stand still forever.

The god said: The desert itself is the sea, but the angry gods have sent down a breath of anger, boiling the sea, evaporating the water vapor, causing the riverbed to break, and the angry waves will never appear, and moving the yellow sand from the sky, covering the waves of the past, to punish and suppress the blasphemous demons.

Li Jun didn't believe in ghosts and gods in the past, but now he believes in it, but if you want to say that all the deserts in the world are caused by the anger of the gods, then, Li Jun can only curse angrily: Your gang of god sticks, quarreling and fighting in the god realm, scolding and losing, losing, and having no place to vent, they will release all the evil fire in their stomachs to the mortal world, wantonly destroying the natural ecology, violating the environmental protection law, and their conscience is very bad.

Twenty buckets full of water half a man high, all thicker than the waist of a sturdy man.

Save a little use, one bucket is enough for 50 people a day, and 20 buckets is enough for 1,000 people a day.

This is just Li Jun's search for supplies, counting the other teams, after the search is completed, it is estimated that there is no need to go out to search for supplies for half a month.

"Let's go, go home for dinner!" Li Jun shouted, drove the sand beast, and ran out in a puff of smoke.

Ang!Ang~~

More than 100 sand beasts rolled up some ordnance such as crossbow arrows, light armor, sand beasts, and dark iron heavy spears of the 13th Regiment of the Eighth Army, singing obscene moods, and returned triumphantly towards the ancient city of the desert.

Half an hour later, he woke up quietly. I tried to open my eyes, looked at the desert where the sun was about to set, looked around, and everyone left. And his own sand beast was gone.

"Humble Li Jun, when I go back, I will accuse you of your crimes to the leader of the West, and I will swear to kill you!" Bi Wei gritted his teeth and moved his body, and a piercing pain suddenly surged into his heart. He was in a cold sweat from the pain.

Buzzing~~

Suddenly, a buzzing sound came, and Biwei felt a tingling pain all over his body, and the dense poisonous needles were deeply inserted into his body, and a large amount of yellow-scaled bee tail needle toxin soaked his body, and his whole body became soft and weak, and his breathing slowly became short.

Creak!

Suddenly, a cry rang out in Piwei's ears, and Biwei tilted his head to look. I saw a human-faced spider, a head peeking out of the sand, staring at me with a cold light in its eyes.

"You ......"

Ka-ka-ka!

The human-faced spider kept opening and closing its mouthparts, and a fishy smell permeated the little spider's mouth.

"No, no...... Ahh

The terrible screams echoed in the desert of the setting sun, and the orange-yellow afterglow of the sun sprinkled on the sandy ground like gold, accompanied by a bewitching crimson, forming a different picture.

～～

At six o'clock, the team led by Li Jun returned to the ancient city of the desert.

I handed over the sand beast, the loot, and the space container with the bucket to the person in charge. Li Jun ran back to his home in the ancient city of the desert, took out the rice bowl and kettle, first went to the well, and filled a pot of water. After that, I walked to the dining hall, made three bowls of rice, four meat dishes, and two meat dishes, found a table, and began to feast.

In the desert, rice is a scarce thing, on the side of the ancient desert. Thousands of acres of grain are planted, and it is also the only place where grain and rice are planted within a radius of thousands of miles.

Thousands of acres of rice can't feed hundreds of thousands of mouths, and in the ancient desert city, there are more than 40,000 military personnel on the register, plus the elderly, women, and children, the number properly exceeds 100,000.

The average person eats about 146 kilograms of rice a year, and the annual output of 1,000 mu of rice is only 1 million catties, which is equivalent to 500,000 kilograms of rice, which can only feed more than 3,000 people, far less than 100,000 people to eat.

Every day, in addition to the occasional rice for dinner, you can either eat some bacon in the morning, nibble on a few meat buns and eat water, or eat animal meat from hunting at noon, and kill a few poultry meat in captivity in the ancient desert city to eat.

The desert is lonely, and in addition to the grass roots, there is almost only meat left, so in the ancient desert city, Li Jun will never have to worry about the lack of meat to eat at that meal.

After dinner, Li Jun sat on a small bench, surrounded by a group of naughty children, pestering Li Jun and asking him to talk about the world of flowers outside the desert.

Li Jun took a small sip of rum, moistened his throat, looked at his watch, ignored the urging of these naughty children, and did not begin to tell them the story outside until eight o'clock.

An hour later, at nine o'clock, Li Jun pinched the time appropriately, without a second in advance or a minute more, and drove away the naughty child with an unfinished face.

"When I grow up, I want to lead my people into the outside world of flowers!" a mischievous child yelled loudly.

Li Jun shook his head and smiled, rubbing his dry hair, wanting to say something. But when Li Jun looked at the rest of the children, he found that they did not speak out mockingly, but their faces were full of determination and hope.

Li Jun was silent, rubbed the boy's hair, and returned to his home without saying a word.

Life goes on, and for Biwei's disappearance, the West Boss has looked for Li Jun once.

Li Jun recounted the process with indignation and impassionedness, although the head of the West was angry with Li Jun in his heart, but Li Jun did not have much responsibility for this matter, and the highest crime was nothing more than to deliberately injure his partner.

Moreover, Li Jun did not kill him, and many of the sand thieves who followed Li Jun out in search of supplies confirmed this for him, and when they left, Piwei was still panting. Although it looked like he was covered in blood, his injuries weren't too serious, leaving him with a few sand beasts, water, and food.

As for why Piwei still hasn't come back after so long, Li Jun and the rest of the Sand Pirates are puzzled.

The next day, the leader of the West personally led a team of people to find out about the whereabouts of Biwei while going out to find supplies. As a result, not far from the place where Li Jun and his party left Biwei, they found that he was gnawed by a certain demonic beast with mouthparts, and only the corpse of the skeleton remained.

"The unlucky Bird, it's really unfortunate. One of the sand thieves sighed.

Li Jun, who has a perfect alibi. No one suspected him at all, they all thought that the unlucky guy Biwei was accidentally taken away and eaten by a passing demonic beast.

The head of the west came back with a gloomy face, looked at Li Jun, and snorted coldly. But nothing was said.

Li Jun closed the door and window, took out a bottle of twenty-year-old whiskey from the ring, put a few plates of animal meat, ate the meat in large gulps, drank the wine in small sips, and squinted his eyes slightly, thinking about what the commander had said.

"Indeed, somehow, a yellow boy shouted into the sky as if he had gone mad. The next moment, a desert tornado struck, the yellow sand covered the night sky, and the dirt pits collapsed, and many sand beasts screamed uneasily, broke free from the reins and ran away......"

"A young man who doesn't know how to practice, or who has been abolished, shouts at the sky, and invites a desert tornado? Is it the reincarnation of a god, or is it a rebirth of a god?" Li Jun muttered. He wanted to go to the camp where the commander was to see what was going on, but he was wiped on the neck with a sword.

Li Jun, who is slightly drunk. Pushed open the door of his home, inhaling the dry and slightly cold air of the desert at night, this confusion made Li Jun's heart itch, and he felt that this matter was not so simple, it was a coincidence.

"Why is there always a voice in my heart: If I can't understand the cause and effect of this incident, I will definitely regret it?" Li Jun suddenly murmured. His brow tightened deeply.

Li Jun looked at the ancient desert city under the night sky silently, and after thinking a little, he planned to go out alone tomorrow, following the trail of the Thirteenth Regiment of the Eighth Army of the Empire, expanding the search range to see if he could find their temporary camp.

Li Jun must figure out this question!

～～

The next day, Li Jun, who was well-fed, asked the leader of the west for leave, planning to go out for a walk.

"No, you have to be followed when you go out. The head of the West directly rejected Li Jun's request, and revealed from his words that he was full of distrust of Li Jun.

Li Jun spread out his hands in annoyance and said, "Dear West Leader, I think you have also heard about the dozens of soldiers of the Thirteenth Regiment of the Eighth Army, but the dozens of bloody surrenders that I ordered to be annihilated are not enough to gain your trust?"

"Li Jun, if it weren't for Bi Wei's opening at that time, would you still open your mouth and order them to be annihilated?!" asked the head of the west with a pair of cold eyes.

Li Jun was silent, and in his heart, he had asked himself that under the circumstances at that time, if it wasn't for Pi Wei to speak, would he have given that order?

The answer is, no!

Li Jun would order a retreat, and before the team could get close enough to find his group, he rode the sand beast and took the initiative to avoid them.

But, all this is just to survive.

The Empire kills sand thieves in order to safeguard the interests of the caravans shuttling through the desert, to clean up the security of the frontier, and not to allow the existence of any force that can threaten the Empire, whether it is inland or outside the border!

The sand thieves fought against the empire, they were dissatisfied with the ** class of the empire, wantonly oppressed the good, and did not treat the commoners as a life.

There are also many more sand pirates who have lived in the desolate desert for generations, and have come to regard the desert as an independent country outside the control of the major empires.

The empire does not agree that there are large groups of sand thieves rampant in the desert, and does not want to give them the right to live, so it sends troops to encircle and suppress them, and kills them on the spot when they encounter sand thieves, whether it is children, women or old people!

The feud between the two sides is getting deeper and deeper, and even if the goddess speaks, it will not be able to eliminate this hatred that has lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years, and abandon the previous suspicions.

Who's right and who's wrong?

Who can tell?
