Chapter 370: Encountering a Strange Beast

The road in the desert is even more difficult than you imagined.

The sand seems to be flat, but it is difficult to step on it, and every step you take takes takes more effort than on ordinary roads.

In addition, the climate in the desert is exceptionally dry, with hot sand and dry weather, from top to bottom, everywhere gives people a sense of anxiety.

There was silence in the desert, not a sound, not even a bird overhead.

In sight, there is nothing but sand or sand, not to mention a strange beast, not even a desert plant.

It's like a dead land.

Scarface led the crowd, although he said he was going to hurry up.

But in fact, he was still very cautious, and every few steps, he would crouch down, press the ground with his palm, and feel the subtle vibrations from the ground.

Although the desert is empty, in the area of this nest, the senses of the warriors will be more or less suppressed.

Even if Scarface has good strength, his perception ability in this desert has been greatly suppressed, and he can only sense danger in advance through this rather primitive way.

"Professor Yin, where is the location of the material you have discovered?"

The group was quite quiet when walking, and everyone did not speak in order to save energy.

After all, walking is physically exhausting, and they don't have much water or dry food on them, so they have to save it.

It's just that this desert is already oppressive, and there is not even a shadow to be seen in the wilderness except for their team walking silently.

Zhai Shaohui, who was out of the woods, followed the team for a long time, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked a few steps quickly, approached Professor Yin, and asked in a low voice.

"There's still a long way to go......

Professor Yin is old, and he is not a martial artist himself, so he also had 1 qi and blood when he was young, but now that he is older, his qi and blood have declined, and he is no longer what he used to be.

Although the team had deliberately slowed down, Professor Yin was still a little out of breath at this time, and patiently answered the little fat man's question: "Originally, according to our previous route plan, we entered the nest from the original direction, and we had to walk about twenty kilometers to reach the gathering place of the rock sand worms."

"But now that we've gone in the exact opposite direction, I'm afraid we'll have to walk an extra 100 kilometers......."

He shook his head and sighed, as if he was regretting the wrong decision he had made yesterday.

If he hadn't tried to get a helicopter into the nest yesterday, he wouldn't have had to walk dozens of kilometers more now.

The power of that strange beast was so terrifying that even if it didn't even reveal its body, it was terrifying.

Naturally, a few people didn't dare to enter the nest from that direction again, for fear that the strange beast had not yet fallen asleep, and a few people rushed into it and would be attacked by the strange beast again.

At this point, it was a different direction, although so far it was safe.

But no one dares to guarantee that there are no strange beasts lurking under their feet, and no one dares to guarantee that if they take a few more steps, there will be no equally terrifying strange beasts.

After all, this is a nest, not a human habitation, and danger can arise anywhere.

"There are still nearly 100 kilometers to ......"

The corners of the little fat man's mouth twitched.

At their current pace, it will take at least four or five days to complete a hundred kilometers.

What's more, in addition to this rock sand worm, it seems that Professor Yin also has a plant material to collect.

"Professor, is this nest all desert? Isn't there an oasis?"

The little fat man still asked with some concern, such a long way, such weather, just relying on this little thing in their backpack, it can't support it at all.

"Of course not."

Professor Yin smiled and said, "The area of this nest is nearly 100,000 square kilometers, how can there not be a few oases in such a large area?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a map with detailed markings, "Look, Oasis

The location has already been detected, and we are probably at this position now, and in a day or so, we will be able to reach the location of the first oasis."

"That's good."

The little fat man breathed a sigh of relief, having an oasis means at least water, at least not dying of thirst.

In order to prevent the strange beasts in this nest from waking up, Scarface had already ordered everyone before entering the 178th nest that modern instruments such as mobile phones must not be used, unless they were forced to pick materials.

They had to rely on this hand-drawn map to get around the nest.

After a few more hours, it was close to noon.

The sun hung high overhead, and for the first time, everyone felt that the sun was so vicious.

The physical strength of several scientific researchers has reached the limit, they are ordinary people, at this time they are panting, their faces are full of sweat beads, their legs seem to be filled with lead, almost dragging their bodies to walk, their physical strength has been exhausted, coupled with the scorching sun above their heads, they can no longer walk.

Zhou Congee and Sun Qian, the two girls, could barely stand on their feet, and Chen Liang was barely supported by Zhou Congee, Sun Qian, a single dog, was unlucky, so she could only stand on the side pitifully.

"Hold on, let's take a few more steps, there's a shelter in front of us, we can go there and avoid it first."

Scarface naturally noticed everyone's plight, and turned around and said loudly.

Wang Yan and the others are all martial artists, and their physical strength is much higher than that of ordinary people, and although they have walked for several hours, they do not show fatigue at all.

If there were no Zhou Congee and his party, they could have walked all day without rest.

But now with a few people with Zhou Congee, we must take care of their bodies.

Scarface said as he pointed into the distance.

Zhou Congee and the others looked up, and in their vision, which was almost distorted by the scorching sunlight, they saw that a few hundred meters away, there was a rather huge raised strange rock, like a big umbrella growing out of the sand, standing on the empty sand.

The area is quite large, and at a cursory glance, I am afraid that it is not less than a few tens of meters, casting a large shadow on the ground.

Such a discovery made several people who had almost no strength to go down refreshed, forced themselves to lift their strength, and walked in that direction with difficulty.

Although the physical strength of several people had already reached the limit, seeing that the shelter was getting closer and closer, several of them still mustered up their strength and walked towards the direction of the boulder with all their might.

Seeing that the boulder was already close at hand, only a few dozen meters away, the spirits of several people became more and more excited, and even Zhou Congee and Sun Qian, who could only stagger forward, were also full of energy in an instant, and were about to use their last strength to walk over.

Scarface, who was walking at the front, silently made a stop gesture to stop the crowd who wanted to walk towards the boulder.

"You!"

Seeing that the boulder was already close at hand, the scarred face suddenly stopped everyone from advancing for no reason.

Except for Wang Yan, everyone was at a loss, and Chen Liang's face changed suddenly, and when he was about to ask angrily, he saw the scarred face turn his head and look at him coldly.

The eyes were as cold as a knife, which made Chen Liang cold for a moment, and the words that just came to his mouth were suddenly forcibly swallowed by him.

Zhou Qing and Zhai Shaohui, who were beside Wang Yan, were also a little puzzled, and looked at Wang Yan with a little puzzled eyes, but they were stopped by the latter with their eyes and told them not to make a sound.

Scarface silently gestured to a few people from the Wuji Martial Arts Gym beside him.

Several people nodded silently, and instead of taking out their guns, they bent down and took out the daggers they carried with them from the leg pockets of their legs.

The four of them divided into two directions, little by little, and slowly surrounded the big rock.

Wang Yan stood in place and did not move, and his complexion did not change much, but Zhou Congee and the others seemed to realize something, and their complexions changed slightly.

A few seconds later, the dull sound of a blade entering flesh came from behind the boulder, followed by a pre-emitted bowel movement

The screams of being forcibly pressed to death could be heard faintly.

Then, the boulder regained its calm.

"It's okay, you can come here."

Several people from the Wuji Martial Arts Hall turned back from behind the boulder and wiped the daggers in their hands, and there were blood stains dripping down little by little.

Scarface greeted everyone.

Zhou Congee and the others walked over quickly, and walked around to the big stone, only to find that behind the big stone, there were several corpses of strange beasts lying down.

The beasts were like camels, their backs arched high like small mountain packs, and their necks covered with golden hair all had a very obvious scar, and blood was still dripping outward.

These strange beasts seem to be here to take refuge from the heat, if it weren't for Scarface's timely discovery, I'm afraid that Zhou Congee and his party would have been besieged by this group of strange beasts the first moment they walked in front of this big rock without knowing it.

Although Zhou Congee and the others were surprised, their physical strength had already reached the limit, and they didn't care about anything at this time, so they sat down against the big stone and let out a long breath.

"You guys, don't be stunned, come here and help."

The little fat man and the two originally wanted to rest for a while, but they were glanced at by the scarface and ordered a few people to come over.

The little fat man had no choice but to go over, and was commanded by the scarface to move the corpses of those strange beasts to the sun.

Then he took the dagger handed over by Scarface, and under Scarface's command, cut off some of the flesh and blood on the corpse of the strange beast and collected it together.

The rest of the corpse was piled together by Scarface, and a bottle of powder was taken out of his backpack and sprinkled on it.

Under the sunlight, the powder suddenly rose into a cloud of powder, and the corpses of the alien beasts were burned into ashes in an instant.

Wang Yan nodded secretly on the side.

This Scarface's survival experience is indeed nothing, and he is extremely cautious.

At this time, the corpses of these strange beasts were disposed of as quickly as possible, just to prevent the bloody aura of the corpses of the strange beasts from attracting potential strange beasts around them.
