It can be said that Tuoba is well prepared, thoughtful and very thoughtful. By the time we arrived at a small county town on the edge of the desert, there were already seven or eight people waiting.

They had prepared camels for the desert and all the food and equipment they needed. On top of that, they also found a guide from an ethnic minority group, who, according to Tuoba said, lived in the desert and was hired with great difficulty.

This time I went into the desert and the last time I went to look for Yuan Qingguang, it was completely different, and the desert I searched for Yuan Qingguang last time was nothing compared to this.

The wind and sand here are much bigger than there, and each of us has a veil over our head. I've never ridden a camel, so riding on it feels weirdly awkward.

Except for me, the rest of the people can be said to be very proficient in riding.

"Brother, I've never seen pork, and you should have eaten it too. You should have ridden a horse, even if you haven't ridden a camel. Du San teased.

"I haven't ridden a donkey except when I can't remember." I said it directly.

"Ah, miserable child." Du San said with gritted teeth.

I glared at him, "You think that everyone in this world can have the money to learn to ride a horse, and you don't know the suffering of the world." ”

"Hey, I'm also from a bitter child, okay?" Du San immediately defended.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, we found a place to set up camp, there was also a road, and there were some tourists.

By the evening of the next day, all we could see was yellow sand, and there were hardly any people on the road.

Tuoba bowed and specially came over to tell Du San and me, "You should pay attention when you sleep at night, there are snakes here, don't let the snakes bite." Last time, when we came over, someone let the snake bite and died here. ”

Du San and I thanked Tuoba and Qianqian, Du San said that now we have entered the desert, although there are Tuoba Qianqian's people who are responsible for the vigil, but our brothers can't all sleep, we are on duty in two turns.

What Du San said makes sense, our relationship with Tuoba is just a cooperative relationship, and it is the other party who uses bright means to force us to cooperate, and we naturally cannot trust them.

I am responsible for the first half of the night, and Du San is responsible for the second half of the night.

At about one o'clock in the second half of the night, I woke up and slept in place of Du San.

The two of us live in a tent, there is a vigil outside, we just need to be alone in the tent to stay awake, and if anything happens outside, we can quickly know what is happening.

At about three o'clock in the second half of the night, I felt the urge to urinate. I opened the tent and walked out of it, and it was the man in black who was on duty at the moment, and he asked me how I woke up, and I said I was going to sprinkle water.

He told me to be careful, and looked over to the fire.

I stopped about a few meters away from the tent, and just as I was about to sprinkle water, suddenly, I felt a bad wind in the back of my head, and I immediately realized that it was someone sneaking up on me.

Turning quickly, I reached out and grabbed it in the air, and a small stone caught in my hand.

I looked in the direction the stone had come from, and it was empty, nothing.

This is strange, even if there is a ghost, I can see it with my cultivation, how can there be nothing.

Just as I was frowning and pondering, the voice of the man in black over there rang out, "Who! ”

I hurried over and saw the man in black looking into the distance.

I followed his gaze and it was still nothing, empty.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Someone just threw a stone at me." The Night Man frowned and said, "What the hell is it?" ”

I knew in my heart that it was a little weird, but I did say, "You should be scaring yourself, where is someone." ”

The man in black nodded and sat down again, and I slipped into the tent. What happened just now was a little weird, I didn't feel any yin qi just now, but there was a real stone falling on it, whether it was a human or a ghost, or some other spirit.

The desert is a special area, where there is a lack of water, and ordinary animals cannot survive here. There are relatively few animals here, that is, desert wolves and sand rats, ...... think of this, I suddenly think of the special creatures such as rats, among the five immortals in the northeast, the gray fairy is one of them. The gray fairy refers to the mouse, the mouse is good at big holes, if it is said that the gray fairy did what happened just now, this can make sense. The reason I didn't see the shadow of that thing was because the rat had burrowed into the ground, and of course I couldn't see it.

I thought to myself, the Grey Fairy is good at digging holes underground, and with their help, it should be much easier to find the treasure of Blackwater City. But how to catch the gray fairy will have to be carefully planned.

However, this road is quite long, and it is not bad for this time, and when it is dawn to discuss it with Du San, he has more ways to come up with good ideas.

One night passed, and the next day, after everyone had eaten something, they packed up their things and went back on the road.

We walked for about five or six days, and every day was quiet for the past few days, and nothing happened that day.

Du San had already made a plan, and the two of us hadn't slept well for a few days, but that thing seemed to know our thoughts, and it didn't show its head.

"Taiping, are you confused in the middle of the night, there is no gray fairy at all, the gray fairy is only in the northeast, how can there be that thing in the desert here. I've been sleepy for the past few days, and I'm going to have to get a good night's sleep tonight. Du San said complainingly.

In fact, I am also very sleepy now, I can't sleep well at night, and I have to travel during the day, and it's summer, and the desert is so hot during the day that even if I want to take a nap on a camel, I can't sleep for a while and wake up.

"Okay, let's get a good night's sleep tonight." I said.

At night, I originally wanted to stare at it for another night, but I fell asleep unconsciously, and I don't know when, suddenly a sharp shout came, "Who? ”

This shout almost shouted everyone, and Du San also sat up, closed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong!" ”

I hurriedly came out of the tent and saw Satsuki in her pajamas, her eyes looking around in horror.

Tuoba bowed and asked, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong?" ”

"Grandpa, something just came into my tent and was still touching me." Satsuki looked frightened.

Tuoba looked around in Satsuki's tent, he probably didn't see anything, then patted Satsuki's head and said, "Don't be afraid, you should have a nightmare." ”

Xiao Yue heard Tuoba bow to say this, and he hesitated a little.

"Alright, it's okay, let's go to sleep." Tuoba Qian bowed to the crowd and said.

All the people went back to the tent, and I knew in my heart that this must have been done by the gray fairy, and this thing was really cunning, and we had just lost our guard tonight when he reappeared.

"Third brother, you don't go out to sprinkle water." I said to Du San.

Du San immediately understood what I meant, and he yawned and said, "I'm really a little panicked." ”

As he spoke, he stepped out of the tent. When he got out of the tent, I quietly followed.

I went around to the back of the tent, hiding in the dark and secretly observing, in front of Du San found a place, when he was sprinkling water, suddenly saw that about three or four meters away from him, a small head came out of the soil, and then the little head looked around, to make sure that there was no one. He came out from below.

The little thing was about half a meter tall, and two of them stood on the ground backwards, one of them holding a stone on its front legs, and threw it towards Du San violently.

At the moment when he threw the stone, a piece of rune paper in my hand was also thrown out, and at the same time, he said in his mouth, "Seal." ”

This is a spell to seal the soil, which means that all the soil here is sealed, and if he wants to dig a hole to go back, it is impossible.

The rat must have realized the danger, and he wanted to drill back, but his body couldn't get into the dirt.

One dodged up to the mouse, reached out and picked up its tail, and I lowered my voice and said, "Do you still want to run?" ”

Du San had just prepared, but the stone didn't hit his head.

"You little thing, I caused my grandfather to read and not sleep well for a few nights." Du San said angrily.

"I'm just joking around with you, no malice, you let me go." The little mouse begged for mercy.
