Chapter 076: The bumpy road is full of difficulties in one day
The people of the Pusuwan tribe often walked in the desert, and although few people had been to such a distant place as Yemili, they were still very experienced in how much they walked and how much water they should have.
The water on the camel was enough to support the three of them to travel thousands of miles, but there was a mentally incomplete tower in the team, and there was no restraint when drinking water, which led to such a dilemma now.
Dashi rode his camel to a sand dune, and as far as the eye could see, it was all golden, and there was no trace of any water source.
"Hey......"
Looking at the empty flat pot hanging from the camel's neck, Dashi couldn't help but sigh, pinched his fingers and estimated the trip, the three of them would have to walk in this desperate situation for at least another month, and it would be impossible to reach the destination with the remaining water.
"We need to find water as soon as possible, or we will die in this yellow sand." Dashi said to Ulanri.
"Miss will cry without water to wash, really helpless, I have heard the old man say that this camel's twin peaks are water, if the last resort is ......"
"No!" Dashi said: "Not to mention that there is no water in the camel twin peaks, even if there is, you can't do this kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs." ”
Urina nodded and said, "Lord Lin Ya is right, even if it is a beast, it can't be used and discarded, it is against the heavens. But now, where do we get our water? ”
While the two were talking, they saw Ta Buyan suddenly pointing to the northern sky and shouting: "The city wall, the city wall is galloping!" ”
Dashi and Wulanri looked in the direction of Ta Buyan's finger, and saw that under the clouds in the north, there was a wall of sand rolling across the horizon, which was even worse than the Qiantang tide on August 18.
"It's windy sand! Come on! The two of them spoke in unison, and then took the reins of the camel on which Ta Buyan sat down and ran away, but after running for a long time, they could not find a place to hide.
Seeing that the wind and sand were approaching, Dashi had to take the camel and tie it to one place, while he and the two girls curled up in the middle of the camel, covering their mouths and noses, and letting the yellow sand cover the top.
The yellow sand obscured the sky and the sun, and the pain of hitting her body was like a sharp blade, and Dashi pulled Ta Buyan close to the camel and protected it with his own body, so that she would suffer less pain.
For a day and a night, even the camels could not withstand the devastation of the wind and sand, and knelt on the ground one after another. By the time the wind stopped, the boulder, the tower was not smoking, and the Ulanri had been buried by waist-length yellow sand.
As if the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest had been dug out, Dashi struggled to get out, rescued the two women out of the sand prison, and got up to take care of their bags, but found that the two camels facing the wind had lost their breath, and their bodies on one side had already been beaten by the sand and stones.
"They saved our lives!"
With tears in his eyes, Dashi took off the camel's belongings and half-covered his body with yellow sand, which was regarded as a tribute. Then he hurried on the road, after all, finding water was the most important thing at this time.
A wind and sand made the originally towering sand dunes all change their appearance, and following the direction pointed by Sinan, the three of them and the four camels walked for more than ten miles, and a stone mountain in the shape of a wolf's head appeared in front of them.
"Maybe there's water there!" Ulanri was very excited, and hurriedly took the flat pot and ran away, but was blocked by Dashi chasing a few steps.
"Didn't the girl forget the bluestone mountain that connects to Black Eagle Mountain?"
After listening to Dashi's reminder, Ulanri paid attention to his feet and cautiously approached the mountain, but when he got closer, he found that this mountain was very different from the other mountain.
The mountain is full of traces of wind and sand, pieces of bamboo-like shale crumbling, some have been broken into rocks, the sand at the foot of the mountain is firm, the feet do not sink, and there is not the slightest moisture floating on it.
"Hey...... After all, it is a Jedi, if food and drink can be easily found, how can anyone die in the desert? ”
Just as Dashi sighed, he saw a black shadow flash behind the stone mountain, and he looked at it fixedly, it was the black desert wolf who had saved himself from danger several times.
"Hahaha!" Dashi couldn't help laughing: "I can't even believe it when I say it, you appear here, it is not my expectation!" ”
After saying that, Dashi was about to step forward, but the black wolf suddenly roared in a muffled voice, and his mane stood on end, as if he was about to attack at any time.
"What are you doing? You and I are friends in trouble, so why should we reject people thousands of miles away? Dashi said, and continued to walk forward, the black wolf saw this scene, suddenly let out a long howl, his eyes immediately turned blood-red, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the front of Dashi.
"What are you going to do?" Dashi dodged in a panic, and managed to avoid the bite of the black wolf, but when he turned around again, he was bitten by the beast.
"What a quick move!" Before Dashi could sigh more, the black wolf shook Douda's head, instantly causing Dashi to lose his balance and fall heavily to the ground.
Without hesitation, the black wolf dragged the boulder in the direction away from the stone mountain, even though Ta Buyan and Ulanri were whipping it with a horsewhip, they did not hesitate for a moment.
"You let go of me!" Dashi was angry and kicked the black wolf with his other kick, hitting the tip of his nose, and under the pain, the black wolf had to let go of the giant jaw and retreated several feet away in embarrassment.
Lin ...... Lord Linya, what do you think it is? Ulange suddenly exclaimed loudly.
Dashi didn't dare to slack off, seeing that the black wolf had not made any move, he hurriedly looked sideways at the place where Ulanri was pointing, and saw that on the stone mountain, there was a huge scorpion with a body as the color of flames, as if watching the battle between humans and beasts under the mountain.
"That's the Fire Pliers Scorpion!" Dashi had already seen the pattern of the fire tongs scorpion in Doctor Cui's pharmacopoeia, and immediately recognized this rare medicine insect.
The fire tongs scorpion, the whole body is jet black, only the double pincer vermilion, hence the name, born in the sand, like the dark, good to live in groups, feed on snakes and scorpions. Its poison is blazing, and the poisoned person burns himself like a blazing fire, and the poisoned one bleeds to death. The whole body of the fire tongs scorpion over the age of ten is like fire, and the poison can be used as medicine and can detoxify the cold.
"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. By capturing this poisonous insect, I don't have to worry about the cold poison on my body anymore! ”
Dashi was surprised, and he wanted to go up the mountain to arrest him, but before he could take a few steps, he stopped, because at this time, the stone mountain was already densely covered with tens of thousands of fire tongs and scorpions.
"Miss be careful!"
Seeing that the sand under Ta Buyan's feet was different, Ulan Ri hurriedly pulled her closer, and at Fang's foothold, there were also fire tongs and scorpions breaking through the ground.
In an instant, in front of and behind Dashi, Ta Buyan, and Ulanri, they were densely crawling with poisonous scorpions, which were slowly besieging the three of them with huge pincers and cocked their tails.
Dashi sighed regretfully: "Black wolf, black wolf, if you can speak, how can we die here?" For now, I just hope you can help again! ”
