Chapter 356: Desert Dry Corpse
As the saying goes, good words don't persuade damned ghosts.
After listening to my words, a group of people seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and after looking at each other, no one proposed, and was willing to take the initiative to give up this chance to live forever.
Even the bearded man, who was already terminally ill and was about to die here, did not offer to leave.
I took the injury to my beard seriously, and carefully examined it several times, but I was still helpless.
Actually, I didn't care so much about the physical condition of the beard, mainly because I wanted to know the extent of Sun Mingjin's injury in advance through him.
The injury to the beard was not serious, but it was extremely itchy, so it was scratched to the core.
I confined the bearded soul in my head, and let the body enter a semi-paralyzed state, and he could not feel the itch.
As time passed, the surface of the beard's body began to condense like a layer of hoarfrost.
The more the hoarfrost condensed, the more it softened, and the few people who were in charge of it used the few water to help scrub their bodies.
After scrubbing the hoarfrost, the bottom is actually layer by layer, and the skin has hardened like fish scales, which looks particularly hideous.
The bearded man asked me in a frightened voice, "Mr. Zhuge what's wrong with me?"
I took a closer look, shook my head, and said, "I don't know. But there's nothing wrong with the breath in your body."
"This physical mutation doesn't do any damage to itself, but I don't know exactly what it will become."
Gradually, the abnormal changes in the body surface of the beard stopped, and he no longer felt itchy, and gradually became sleepy.
Tossing until three o'clock in the morning, we should also go back to rest.
When we got up at eight o'clock the next morning, we didn't expect the beard to get up on his own and start packing up the tent.
He was draped in a thick military coat and two packages weighing a hundred pounds, which he lifted and threw on horseback.
Lei Zi exclaimed, "Big brother, what a divine power!"
"Haha, it's probably a blessing in disguise, but I'm fine right now anyway."
The bearded man probably saw too much life and death, jumped on the horse and continued to move forward with us.
In the middle and rear of no man's land, we walked on a dry riverbed.
Half of the riverbed was water, the other half was soft sand and mud, and without the sharp rocks, the horses could move much faster.
At noon, the horses stopped grazing, and their bearded beards jumped off their horses, pointing to the vast expanse of blue in the distance.
Lei Zi pointed to the blue in the distance, and said excitedly, "Big brother, Zar Lake is about to arrive!"
"Good! At noon today, let's stop cooking, eat some dry food to speed up!"
The bearded man excitedly shouted to the crowd, "Brothers, the opportunity for immortality is right in front of us, what are we waiting for!"
"!"
"It's broken!"
The crowd was in high spirits, but I was inexplicably a little nervous.
At first, I was desperate to find Sun Mingjin, but as I got closer to him, I became more and more worried about his safety.
After a hasty lunch, we set off again in the afternoon.
The horses galloped all the way, and the riverbed in front of them became more and more desolate.
Murphy wondered, "Hidden Dragon, isn't there Lake Zar in front of you, why is the river here so dry up?"
I said, "After observing all the way, there are three outlets in the Zar River. The first is at the entrance to no man's land, the second is in the middle, and the third is thirty miles ahead of us."
"Upstream of Lake Char, which was supposed to be the fourth outlet, was blocked by the terrain and caused the riverbed downstream to dry up."
Murphy nodded thoughtfully and led the horse to the last ditch near Lake Char for a drink.
Finally fed the horses, we began to sprint towards Lake Char.
After the last 10 kilometers, I saw a completely dry riverbed, dead animals, and yellow sand.
Tsal Lake, which was once far away in the sky, was strange when we approached
The disappearance is gone.
When I finally ran away, I didn't even know when it was gone.
Don't...... Is it a mirage?
Bearded and the others also noticed that something was wrong, jumped off the horse and looked around blankly, "What the hell is wrong, can such a big lake disappear?"
Lei Zi said, "Just now we walked, we walked lower and lower, and we were able to see the lake just now, but now it is blocked by the mountain, so we can't see it."
I know that what Lei Zi said is not right, but this is very convincing among the bearded people.
The reason why I didn't explain it to the group was because I was afraid of scaring them.
Suddenly, a man pointed to a dry skeleton on the ground, "Big brother, look at what this is!?"
In the direction the man pointed, a shriveled corpse was half buried in the desert, leaving only a shriveled skull and chest like a mummy.
The bearded man crouched next to the corpse, "Look at it...... It looks like a person, but the shape of the skull doesn't quite look like it."
"Hey, whatever it is, dig it out first."
Lei Zi was very bold, picked up a shovel, and dug up the body with three strikes and five divisions.
After the body was dug up, we were all dumbfounded.
The upper body of the dried corpse is a human, and the lower half of its life is a huge fishtail, which is exactly the same as the legendary mermaid!
"A mermaid, a mermaid!"
Lei Zi burst into tears of surprise, held the mermaid's corpse and kissed it, "Brothers, we are developed!"
"From now on, everyone will be immortal!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, they raised their knives and hacked a horse to death.
The blood of the horses was put into container after container.
They sewed the entire horseskin into a huge pocket, stuffed the merfolk into it, and poured it with blood.
The smell of blood spread in the Gobi Desert, but they were so hot that they seemed to be about to soak the dried corpses.
The corpse was in a bloody snakeskin pocket, and it was swelling and foaming little by little.
A group of people were in high spirits, especially the bearded man, who had always been calm and calm, and his eyes were red with excitement.
"Mr. Zhuge and Miss Mo, you have helped me too much along the way, this mermaid meat, let's enjoy it together!"
I shook my head, "I won't eat these things, and I advise you not to eat them."
The bearded man smiled, obviously not intending to listen to what I said.
Soon, the horse's blood soaked the shriveled mermaid corpse, and the blood-red humanoid fish-tailed creature looked uncontrollable and physiologically uncomfortable.
Murphy sighed and said, "Turned into a dried corpse, and then soaked again, I didn't expect the skin to be so delicate, it's so good."
As he said this, Murphy stroked his cheek.
After following me on a long journey to the Gobi Desert, her face has already shed some skin, although it still looks beautiful, but in the eyes of women, it is absolutely unbearable.
I remember that when I came, Murphy also put on makeup for herself, and I taunted me a few times.
It seems that I have ignored her feelings too much......
