Chapter 55: Desert Treasures
Everyone packed up, immediately took their own things, came out of the ruins of the ancient city, and found the right direction.
Because of the goal and direction, this time they were much faster, until they came to a sand dune, and they saw a few black dots in front of them.
"Stop!" The Blood Wolf made them lie on the sand pile, and then looked at the black dots, and Li wondered what the Blood Wolf should have similar equipment to a telescope.
After a while, the blood wolf looked at them.
"There were twelve men on the other side, fifteen camels, with plenty of food and water, and six or seven guns, and it seemed that they were a difficult fellow to deal with."
The blood wolf told Li Xiang about the situation he had gotten, and when they heard this information, Li Xiang, Blood Fox, and Snow Sakura all frowned.
What should they do with such a difficult person?
"I think we should follow them first, because we don't know exactly how many of them there are, so we have to follow them first and wait until they get to their destination."
When the blood fox said this, Xue Ying also nodded, agreeing with the blood fox's opinion, and the blood wolf didn't say anything, looking at his face, he should agree.
The four of them followed closely behind the team, getting closer, Li Xiang also saw their situation, and the one leading the way in front was a man wearing a yellow travel suit and his arm tied with a rope, looking like he should have been beaten.
And the people who captured him all had fierce faces, and at first glance they were murderous guys who didn't blink.
With the strength of the four of them, it is obviously not a smart choice to rescue this person.
"Be careful!"
The blood fox suddenly asked them to lie down, and Li couldn't understand what was going on, only to see a black dot flying in the sky, as if it was some kind of bird.
"These guys also have bird trainers."
The face of the blood fox is a little ugly, this kind of person will train birds to find his way, because birds can see a lot in the sky.
For example, if there is an oasis in any place or where there is danger, you can be warned in advance.
Fortunately, the bird circled and flew away, and did not stay long.
Li Xiang saw that the gang had gone away, and immediately followed.
From day to night, the gang stopped, camped in place to rest, and Li thought they could also rest.
"I don't know when they're going to be a head." Xue Ying said impatiently, her temperament is like this.
"Wait, it looks like it won't be long." The blood wolf had been watching the tent of the gang.
He saw the men gathered around as if they were arguing, and one of them pulled the man to the fire and showed his knife.
A fellow who seemed to be the leader scolded twice, and then the man put away the knife and sat aside indignantly.
The leader pulls out a map and shows it to the man, asks him to point to a location, and has someone take him down.
The next thing the blood wolf didn't know how to guess.
"The other side should be figuring out the final position, and if I'm not mistaken, they should be almost there."
The blood wolf told them what had just happened, and Li Xiang and they also nodded in agreement.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the camp not far away, and then several gunshots erupted.
The blood wolves immediately turned their heads to look, only to see that there was a mess over there, and several monsters that looked like wolves were rushing around in the camp.
"What's going on?" Li Xiang was also surprised that there was such a thing.
Before they could react, they noticed that the sand under their feet was also loosening, and the four of them immediately flashed to the side, only to see that there were many basin-sized things like shellless scorpions popping up from the place where they had just stood.
When they saw Li Xiang and them, they immediately let out a scream, and these monsters emerged from the sand and surrounded them.
"Oh no, we may have walked into the battlefield of two monsters." The blood fox saw the monsters attacking the camp not far away running towards this direction, and he immediately understood.
"I have to do it."
Xue Ying drew her long sword and slashed off a monster next to her with a single sword, and the blood wolf also drew a dagger and used it to kill a wolf-shaped monster that pounced.
Li Xiang followed the blood fox with a scalpel in his hand, and when he saw the blood wolves and their injuries, he immediately made up for them.
However, every time he uses the skill, he will stab himself to reduce his HP a little, so as not to expose his strength.
Their fight here is hot, and that side is not bad, and at this time, the people over there also found the blood wolf them, although they were surprised that someone followed them, but now is not the time to fight.
finally withdrew from the battlefield, and the two teams actually faced each other, so the other party immediately raised their guns and pointed them at Li Xiang.
Li wanted to see that there were only ten of them left now, and two of them should have died in this melee.
"You are his accomplices." The leader from before looked at Li Xiang and them with a gloomy face.
"I don't know what to call it?" The blood wolf stood at the front, and the murderous aura on his body was exposed, making the person opposite frown.
"A friend of the road?" The other party did not answer the words of the blood wolf, but asked them where they came from.
"Yes, we are also here for the treasure, since we bumped into it, then follow the rules, let's look for it together, after you find it, you take it first, and we choose later." After the blood wolf said this, the other party pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed.
After all, this treasure is not so easy to obtain, and these four people don't seem to be able to get much.
Seeing that the other party agreed, the blood fox breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't fight, there would be a chance later.
The two teams walked towards the east together, and along the way, the blood fox asked Li Xiang not to ask, if there was any problem, the blood wolf would deal with it.
When the sun was rising, they came to an oasis where they could see a temple carved out of stone in the woods of the oasis.
"There's the destination ahead, my name is Shaq." It was only then that the leader told them his name.
"My name is Blood Wolf, since the treasure is here, then we will go in according to our respective abilities." The blood wolf asked Shaq's men to try it first, and Shaq nodded to a tall man behind him, who immediately walked out and headed towards the entrance of the temple.
But before he could walk over, he saw a lot of stingers coming from the ground, and if it weren't for the man's quick movements, he would have been pierced by now.
"It's up to you." When Shaq had finished speaking, he stepped aside and let the blood wolves come.
It was clear that they wanted the Blood Wolf to find his way.
Seeing that the person behind them raised their guns, if the blood wolf did not agree, they would shoot and step on their corpses.
"Blood Fox, you're coming!" The Blood Wolf asked the Blood Fox to crack the mechanism.
The blood fox stepped forward to take a look, and the man had only triggered the mechanism after walking a few steps, which means that there should be some trigger conditions for this mechanism.
So he studied it carefully, and gently pushed away the sand, and the blood fox saw that there was something wrong with the color of the floor tiles below.
Some are darker, others are lighter, and these tiles are laid haphazardly on the floor.
Seeing this, the blood fox already had a clue, made a gesture to the blood wolf, and then walked while pushing away the sand to look at the floor tiles.
Finally, he walked peacefully to the front of the temple.
The Blood Wolf also walked over the same route that the Blood Fox had taken, and Shaq also let his own men follow in front.
When they all walked through the open space in front of the temple, they saw the gate of the temple and lost their clue for a while.
The gate looked like a huge stone, with a huge scale carved into it, with an hourglass on the left and a pot of gold on the right.
There wasn't even a crack in the door, and I didn't know how to open it.
"Let's go around and see if there are any clues." Shaq ordered, and his men dispersed.
Li Xiang and the others stood together and looked at the door in front of them, very puzzled in their hearts.
"Where is this mechanism?" Li wanted to see the surrounding environment, there was nothing else here except a few large sculptures, and if there was a mechanism, it could only be on the door.
"No matter what, we have to let them do something, otherwise we will be too passive."
The Blood Wolf whispered that he saw Shaq's face was ugly, and the man they needed to save was standing beside Shaq.
Li wanted them to pretend to be looking for a mechanism, but in fact they were looking at each other's strength.
At this time, a person suddenly shouted excitedly.
"I found it!" He held a chain in his hand and pulled it hard, and before everyone could react, he saw a white mist erupt from the ground where he was standing, and the person was directly melted.
He let out a terrible scream, which made the people around him feel creepy.
"Is this a game hint?" Li wanted to see this scene, thinking that it should be the game that wanted them to see what punishment they would receive.
Another one died in the blink of an eye, Shaq couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppress the anger in his heart, and let others pay attention when they were looking for it.
After searching for a while, someone shouted, and they found a balance on one side, with an hourglass carved in stone on one side and an empty one on the other.
"Looks like you want us to put something up."
The blood wolf saw that the balance on the door was very similar to this one, so he immediately spoke.
Shaq nodded, and put himself on his side.
This stone carving should be enough for one person to go up.
But what they didn't expect was that the scales actually tilted towards the man, and a rumbling sound came, and the man immediately jumped off the scale.
A fiery dragon erupted from the scales, and it seemed that the balance of the scales had to be ensured.
Shaq couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene, they didn't bring much of it, basically it was food and water.
If they put these things on them, it would be very difficult for them to get out of the desert.
And the blood wolf they didn't have anything to put on it, and in the end, Shaq had a camel slaughtered, kept adding camel meat to it, and then kept the scales in balance.
