The cold wind blew like a knife on the body. Wu Gen and Sun Hong wrapped their heads in clothes, showing only their two eyes, and supported each other to stagger.

Without anyone else, Sun Hong was a lot more active, chattering along the way, from his background to his family background, and even the girl he liked since childhood.

Although he was bored to listen to, Wu Jian did not stop the other party.

In a desolate and lonely place, walking for a long time may make people go crazy. To this day, Wu Jian still remembers the situation when he was in the ghost, the endless loneliness will really engulf people in the darkness little by little.

Suddenly, Wu Yan waved his hand violently to stop Sun Hong's words.

Sun Hong was stunned for a moment, only to see Wu Gen lying low, tiptoeing forward quietly, and couldn't help but get nervous in his heart.

When he arrived at a sand dune, Wu Gan's body tensed, listened attentively, and slowly took out the broken knife. After a few moments, he suddenly jumped up and plunged his knife into a fine sand.

Something in the sand struggled desperately, and the knife was pulled out, and a gray scorpion more than a foot long writhed on the tip of the knife, and the pincers on the claw clicked like scissors.

After struggling for a while, the scorpion finally died. Wu Yan carefully shaved off the scorpion's tail, twisted the scorpion body with both hands, and the gray-brown juice dripped down his thumb, endured the discomfort in his heart, frowned and took the juice into his mouth.

I once heard Zhang Yuan say that sand scorpions are rare thirst-quenching and edible things in the desert, and they are not tricky to catch.

Handing the scorpion to Sun Hong, the other party glanced at it with some fear.

Wu Yan stuffed the scorpion into his hand and said coldly, "If you want to live, treat it as a dragon's liver and phoenix marrow." To tell you the truth, these days, both of us have to live on this scorpion. ”

Lifting the scorpion with difficulty, Sun Hong followed Wu Gan's example and sucked the juice in it. A fishy smell entered his nose, Sun Hong's stomach turned over the river and the sea, and he turned his head to vomit, but he could see Wu Gan's appearance of raising a knife and staring at him, so he had to forcibly suppress it.

Seeing Sun Hong swallowing, Wu Gen smiled and touched his head. Sin cannot be inflicted on oneself alone. I found some sea buckthorn and the like, roasted the scorpions, and then the two of them ate them.

Sun Hong found that Wu Gan's bags were like a treasure chest, full of strange things, even the ingredients for cooking. At first glance, I thought he was here for a picnic.

The two of them went all the way, and Wu Gen could always catch strange things from under the sand without the slightest clue. After walking for a long time, I have saved up a lot of scorpions, gophers and other things.

Sun Hong looked surprised: "Brother Wu, could it be that you have lived in the desert for many years. After breaking up with those van soldiers, Sun Hong changed his name.

Wu Gen will raise his head, "Don't hide it from my brother, I am studious for my brother since he was a child, this subset of scripture and history is not considered for the time being, and even the history of barnyard officials and strange anecdotes are also involved." The desert is naturally well understood, but I don't want to show it on weekdays. ”

Sun Hong's eyes were full of stars, and he looked at Wu Yan with a look of adoration.

Wu Geng's face turned red, in fact, before leaving, Zhang Yuan heard some news about the way to die, and specially made up some things for him temporarily, so the situation in this desert was naturally familiar.

It is no wonder that Bian He and the others are indignant, after Zhang Yuanming's secret help, Wu Gan's trial path is generally higher than that of other servants.

It's just that there are so many fair things in this world. Just like the scholars in the world participate in scientific examinations, it is rare for the children of Hanshu to have a book, so there is a saying that there is no book that cannot be read unless borrowed. The rich house is full of books, not to mention that there is a gentleman to guide him, who to reason with.

It was almost dusk, and Sun Hong was already hungry and tired, and he couldn't lift his feet. The two of them had to stop, find a leeward place, light a bonfire, and slowly roast a scorpion. After a while, the shell of the scorpion's body had been burned red, and the fragrance came out, making people salivate.

The two chatted while eating, and Sun Hong asked vaguely: "Brother Wu, it is said that there are many people who come in on the way to life, why didn't they meet them all the way?" ”

Wu Yan swallowed the meat in his mouth and scolded: "If you meet someone else, you can't say that the two of us are already dead at this time." Before coming in, the official said that only those with more waist cards can win, isn't this obvious that people will snatch each other. Alas, my two brothers are not good at martial arts, and when they meet others, they are not sheep in the mouth of a tiger. ”

While chatting, Wu Gan's nose fluttered, staring at the slightly trembling ground, throwing away the remaining half of the scorpion in his hand, and holding the handle of the knife tightly.

Seeing Wu Gan's serious expression, Sun Hong didn't know why, and hurriedly pulled out the knife in his waist.

"Little cub, it's sensitive." A middle-aged man with a black beard appears on top of a sand dune. As he spoke, three more people emerged from around the dunes.

The four of them looked at Wu Yan and Sun Hong playfully, and slowly walked down from the sand dunes. Sun Hong looked nervous, and just wanted to retreat, but was grabbed by Wu Gan, "Don't move." ”

A tall and thin man slapped his palm with a knife and sneered: "It's still this kid who is smart and knows that he can't run." If you want to be a Chinese person like you, it is better to fulfill us.

Take out the food and waist cards on your body, and grandpa will give you a good time, otherwise, hum, grandpa is the best at slicing meat on weekdays. One knife down, as thin as cicada wings, I want to see how many knives you can make with your small body. ”

The others laughed and gathered around the campfire, not afraid of the two of them running away. The middle-aged man picked up the scorpion roasted on the fire and tried to eat it, "Yes, the taste is okay, I killed many of these things along the way, but I didn't expect it to be able to eat, and I lost it." ”

As soon as Wu Jian heard this, he knew that these people had never stayed in the desert, and they didn't even know such common sense.

"The two of us are willing to hand over the waist card, and I also ask you strong men to let them live." Wu Yan pulled Sun Hong behind him and arched his hand at the four of them.

To tell the truth, when these four people touched this place, they didn't notice it, but they just felt that there was a foreign object moving underground. The four of them are so handsome, Wu Gen is still self-aware, so he decisively submits.

A short but very strong man hooked his fingers at the two, and Wu Gan ignored Sun Hong's reluctance on his face, took out the two waist cards and threw them over.

"Well, I know each other, but I'm decisive." The man scoffed.

Wu Yan pulled Sun Hong and turned around to leave. The middle-aged man said slowly: "Who let the two of you go, I didn't agree to your conditions." A finger pointed at Wu Gan from afar.

The rest of the people laughed and looked at the two of them like cats and mice.

Wu Gen and Sun Hong stopped, and only then did they have a feeling that if they took one more step, they might die on the spot.

The strong man shouted, "Come here, bake more food for the grandfathers." ”

Wu Yan looked at the ground a little anxiously, but refused to take a step forward.

The strong man was a little angry, and took out two iron claws and put them on his hands. I didn't see any movement, and when I turned around, I was already in front of Wu Gan, and my swarthy fingers grabbed it directly.

Frightened, Wu Jian instinctively drew his knife upward, trying to block his attack. The man snorted lightly, his arm shrank, turned his fingers into fists, avoided the blade, and hit Wu Gan's chest lightly.

Looking at the punch that had no strength and hit his chest, Wu Yan felt as if he had been hit by ten bulls.

With a scream, Wu Gan spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body was beaten high, flipped and fell to the sand dune, and then rolled down the slope to the bottom of the pit, lying motionless on the ground.

Sun Hong hadn't reacted at this time, and watched Wu Yan fly out far away with his mouth open. The strong man smiled and slowly walked towards Sun Hong.

At this moment, the ground around the campfire suddenly squirmed, and two long tentacles emerged from the sand. Immediately after, a strange insect with a black palate and six legs under its body emerged.

The strange insect was more than a foot long, its tentacles swung around, and finally turned to the strong man who was moving forward, twisted its body, and pounced like an arrow.

When the strong man heard the movement behind him, he quickly turned around, and suddenly saw such a monster, and jumped in fright. But the strange insect was very nimble, and with a swing of its tail, it blocked the way of the strong man.

"Dogs, dare to beat grandpa's idea." The strong man was furious, and grabbed the body of the strange insect with both hands. The iron claws rubbed against the body of the worm, bursting out with a spark. The body of this insect was as hard as gold and iron, and only a string of white marks were left under one claw.

The body of the strange insect winds in a semicircle, encircling the strong man. Like scissors, their jaws glow with a ghostly light, and they come to their heads.

The strong man grabbed his jaws with both hands and roared, stopping the attack of the strange insects. It was only at this time that the other three came to their senses and showed their weapons to support.

The sword slashed at the monster worm, clanging.

Even though the body is hard and hard, it can't stand the crowd, the strange insect twists its body in pain, its long tail shakes, and rushes towards a thin man like lightning, and with a click, the thin man's thigh is caught by something, and it is cut alive.

"Oh no, this bug has a head on its tail too." A few people took a closer look, and sure enough, the tail of the strange insect also had a head and two jaws, but it was smaller.

The thin man screamed miserably, and crawled to the side to avoid it, but after only a few steps, his body gradually turned blue and black, and he fell to the ground without moving.

The remaining three people came to their senses that this strange insect was highly poisonous, and they couldn't help but panic.

The sword beckoned to the insect desperately, but the diminutive man was still alert and shouted, "Cut its belly, it's softer there." I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart, thanks to the iron claws, otherwise I would have been poisoned and died.

The black-bearded middle-aged man flicked his fingers, and a red fireball flew out and hit the monster's abdomen firmly. With a bang, the fireball exploded, and it actually knocked off a lot of the scale armor on the belly of the strange insect.

The three of them cooperated with each other and specifically greeted the abdomen of the strange insect. Sure enough, not long after, the monster's body was torn open, and the turquoise juice flowed out.

Under the pain, the strange insect's body twitched, and a black mist erupted from its mouth. A man in black directly opposite him bore the brunt and was sprayed. The man covered his face with his hands and screamed.

The black mist of this strange insect was so poisonous that soon, the body of the man in black shrank, and his body turned into a pool of pus, leaving only a skeleton.

The middle-aged man next to him saw that it was not good, and he no longer dared to get close, but just launched a fireball from a distance. The strong man who was holding on to it just wanted to let go and escape, but after a burst of black fog, he also died on the spot, and a pair of iron claws fell to the ground.

The body was freed, and the strange insect hissed and burrowed into the sand, and soon disappeared.

The middle-aged man drew a long sword from his back and watched around vigilantly. Suddenly, the sand behind him flew up, and the strange insect flew out of the sand again, its jaws wide open, and its six-legged dance, rushing towards the middle-aged man.

"Brute, look for death." The middle-aged man waved the long sword in his hand, and the sword body shimmered with brilliance, just between the monster's jaws. The hard jaws were torn open, and the sword slashed down the skull.

"Oops." The middle-aged man secretly exclaimed, it turned out that this insect body was so tough, and the long sword could not be used again after cutting down three feet, and was stuck in the hard scale armor.

Seeing that he couldn't kill his opponent with one blow, the middle-aged man was also decisive, letting go of his long sword and preparing to separate from the strange insects. As soon as the body leaped into the air, the long tail of the strange insect struck out from under the sand and slammed it on its back.

With a scream, the middle-aged man was thrown more than a dozen feet away, and his back quickly turned black.

Poisoned. The middle-aged man's complexion changed greatly, and he turned around and galloped into the distance, and disappeared after a few longitudinal falls.

Although the middle-aged man was beaten away, the strange insect had already been seriously injured in many places, and after struggling a few times, he fell to the ground and died on the spot.
