Chapter 372: Night Attack
"Oasis!"
"The Oasis has arrived!"
After a day's long journey, Zhou Congee and the others had almost no strength.
Along the way, it was Chen Liang who supported her and barely came here, while Sun Qian was supported by Wang Yan, and Zhai Shaohui and Zhou Qing supported the elderly Professor Yin from left to right.
In this way, this team has barely come to this point.
Even so, the sudden drop in temperature at night had already made Zhou Congee and several people start to tremble a little, and some couldn't bear it.
At this moment, seeing the oasis in the distance, Zhou Congee and the others were almost crying with joy.
Although Professor Yin was equally happy, there was more confusion in his eyes.
Judging by the route planned on the map, at the speed at which they were traveling, the oasis would not be there until at least the next day.
Scarface frowned as well, pausing to look at the oasis in the distance.
He had also seen the map, and judging by the speed at which they were traveling, it was impossible to reach the oasis in less than a day.
What's going on with this oasis in front of you?
He gestured to the man next to him, who understood, put his backpack down, and ran briskly in the direction of the oasis in front of him.
A few minutes later, the man returned, with a little helplessness on his face: "It's not an oasis, it's a mirage." ”
"Mirage?" This news made Zhou Congee and others, who had seemed to have seen hope, feel as if they had suffered a thunderbolt from the sky, and they almost couldn't stand.
At this time, they were already more or less regretting why they came to nest 178.
Such a difficult environment is not a place for people to stay at all.
If you go to the oasis, it is okay, after all, the oasis is different from the desert, the temperature difference at night is not so large, there is plenty of water, there will be no wind and sand, and it will be slightly more comfortable to rest.
There is no oasis at the moment, doesn't that mean that they can only spend the night in the open desert tonight?
You must know that at night in the desert, the wind is very strong, if there is no shelter, I am afraid that even if they set up their tents, they will be blown directly by the wind blowing through the desert.
"It's not an oasis, but there's a village in that direction, and although it's only ruins, it should allow us to spend the night."
The martial artist's next words made the eyes of Zhou Congee and the others, who were almost desperate, light up again.
"Do you still have the strength to walk a few kilometers?"
Scarface looked back at the others, "If we can't walk, we'll have to stay here for the night." ”
As a martial artist, he naturally doesn't care, even if he walks for a day, he is still full of physical strength, his body is hot, and the sudden drop in temperature on the desert will not have much impact on him at all.
At this point, unless it drops from dozens of degrees to dozens of degrees below zero, otherwise, a little change in temperature will not matter to the martial artist at all.
Although the little fat man and Zhou Qing are only fourth-level martial artists, this temperature difference is just a little cold for them, and it doesn't matter much.
But they can't do Zhou porridge, they are just ordinary people, and they can't bear it at all.
At this time, when they heard this, they all gritted their teeth and nodded, and it was better to take a few more steps than to be blown by the wind in this open place.
So, Zhou Congee and his entourage moved forward again with the support of Wang Yan and the three of them.
Along the way, I found that the so-called oasis, no matter how I walked, was always in front of them, and the distance from them seemed to have not changed.
But this is also a good thing, after all, if there is a mirage, it means that the real oasis is not far away.
Zhou Congee and the others were disappointed in this mirage, and at the same time comforted themselves like this.
Half an hour later, several people finally came to the ruins that the Wuji Martial Arts Hall had said.
This is just the remains of a small village, only the traces of dozens of houses, I don't know how long they have been abandoned, most of the houses have been damaged and weathered, only a few broken walls are still barely standing in the sand, like strange plants growing on the desert, some strange shapes, the outline in the night is faintly a little seeping.
Although there are only a few broken walls, this is enough to make Chen Liang breathe a sigh of relief, the wind on the desert is cold and strong, and it is a trivial matter to be blown by the wind, in case there is a disease in this desert, it is really not even a condition for treatment.
"Let's rest here tonight. I'll be on my way tomorrow. ”
Arriving at the ruins of the village, Scarface didn't force everyone to move on, glanced into the distance, and spoke.
Wang Yan and the others helped Zhou Congee and the others to sit down, and while they were resting, they began to set up tents quickly.
The group of people from the Wuji Martial Arts Hall walked around the ruins, and after a while, they actually picked up some firewood and came back, and they didn't know where it was dug up, and several people gathered around and quickly built a fire.
Shielded by the broken wall, the firelight is not dazzling above the desert.
Scarface's hands and feet were very neat, he lifted the blue box, reached out and pressed it, and the box began to deform rapidly again as it did yesterday, and soon turned into a cauldron.
Such a scene, not to mention Professor Yin and others, even Wang Yan was a little dumbfounded.
Weapons and kitchen utensils in one?
Or do people in the city know how to play......
"When you're away from home, you always have to pack a little more stuff."
The scarface explained calmly, not caring about everyone's eyes at all.
And the people in the Wuji Martial Arts Hall seemed to have long been used to it, and several people quickly got busy, one added water to the pot, and the other took out the flesh and blood of the few strange beasts killed during the day, and after a little cleaning, they added some powder to it, and after a while, an attractive aroma wafted out.
"Alright, it's ready to eat."
Scarface picked up a piece of alien beast meat with a dagger, and first handed it to Professor Yin and a few others.
Professor Yin took the piece of alien beast meat, his Adam's apple rolling, but he still hesitated.
After all, it was made from a pot made of weapons, and the devil knows what the weapon had touched.
If it were in normal times, he would definitely not eat such unhygienic things.
Just for now......
I thought about compressing the disgusting taste of the biscuits, and then sniffed the tempting aroma of the alien beast meat in front of me.
it's unhygienic...... Professor Yin's eyes closed, his heart was horizontal, and he stuffed the piece of alien beast meat into his mouth.
Don't say it, it's really fragrant.
Seeing that Professor Yin had already eaten heavily, Chen Liang and the others also took the alien beast meat from the scarface's hand, and they all ate it with relish.
There are dozens of catties of alien beast meat, and with the full cooperation of this group of people, it was done in only half an hour.
Even the broth was cleaned up in cups, after all, in the desert, water is the most scarce and cannot be wasted.
"Okay, let's go to bed, and take turns keeping vigil tonight for safety."
After cleaning up, Scarface turned the iron pot back into the shape of an iron box, and after putting it away, he looked at Wang Yan and the others: "A group of two takes turns to keep vigil, and each group is on duty for three hours, no opinion."
Wang Yan naturally has no opinion, and the little fat man naturally has no opinion, they can't do nothing, they are not good at fighting strange beasts, but it is naturally no problem to keep vigil all night.
"Starting with you, you and Qian Feng will stay for the first three hours, and then change the two of you and Chen Fang to a group......"
Scarface quickly made a distribution, first pointing at Wang Yan, and then looking at the little fat man, and soon divided into four groups.
I have to say that although Scarface has a cold face, he is actually very caring, and he took the most difficult task of keeping vigil in the second half of the night on himself, and asked Wang Yan and them to keep watch in the first half of the night.
After everything was distributed, everyone went back to the tent one after another, leaving only Wang Ember and the Wuji Martial Arts Gym martial artist named Qian Feng, sitting in front of the fire and guarding.
"Boy, what kind of strength are you? How can I not see the depth of your strength? ”
After all, the vigil was a bit boring, and after the two sat silently in front of the fire for a few minutes, Qian Feng finally couldn't help it, and said with a little curiosity.
When he first saw Wang Ash, he didn't feel too strong blood qi fluctuations in Wang Ash, so he didn't care about Wang Ash, thinking that this kid was at the level of a second-level martial artist at best.
However, the scene of Wang Ember blowing up the big black worm with one punch during the day made Qian Feng realize that this kid was probably far more than a second-level martial artist.
The strength of that punch was at least the level of a fifth-level martial artist.
But simply perceiving Wang Yan's qi and blood, but it is extremely weak, and it is no different from ordinary people.
It was precisely because of this that Qian Feng finally couldn't help but ask.
"I'm just a fourth-level martial artist......"
Wang Yan thought for a while and said.
Before he lost his qi and blood, his realm was indeed only a fourth-level martial artist.
"Fourth-level martial artist?"
Qian Feng obviously didn't believe it very much, he didn't believe that a fourth-level martial artist could make such a punch during the day.
The two chatted in front of the fire, and gradually became familiar with each other, and after asking and answering, they also chatted.
"Harm, don't you know how hard life is for our group of martial arts warriors......"
Qian Feng sighed, and was about to complain to Wang Yan.
Suddenly, Wang Yan's face turned pale, and he raised his eyes to look into the distance.
Qian Feng also sensed it in an instant, his face also changed from time to time, and he looked around.
The light of the fire shone only a small area between the broken walls.
But at this time, the dark places that the firelight could not illuminate were silent, and there were green points of light lit up in the darkness, like small lanterns.
Dense, no less than dozens.
Little by little, the little lanterns are approaching this direction.
Crash!
The tent was suddenly lifted, and Scarface strode out, looking around with an equally ugly face.
Whew!
In the distance, there was a distant howl, which spread far across the desert.
The moment this howl sounded, the small lanterns suddenly rushed towards the fire at a rapid speed.
The sound of sand splashing is especially clear in the night.
