Chapter 6: Desert Treasures

Jiang Chengyun moved his steps carefully, this thing is really big up close, no wonder people say that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The almost dead cactus bush in front of him can't be its territory. Although this cactus is out of water, the dried flesh should be edible, which will be a vital survival resource for survival in the desert.

"Camel good camel, you are in a daze, I will break the cactus a little."

Jiang Chengyun chattered, approached the cactus, the growth is really not good, only one person is tall, the color is gray, and it is about to turn into a dried fruit, he plans to break a small piece on the line, and break more of the camel's quasi-urgent eyes. He searched for a long time, staring at a very special cactus, the size of a lunch box, the color is yellow, and the sun is faintly bright, I don't know if it is because there is still some moisture in it.

As soon as Jiang Chengcheng stretched out his hand, the camel stopped chewing the food, so he tilted his head to look at him. He gritted his teeth, ignoring the thorns on it, and cut it off with a hand knife, grinning in pain. When the camel saw it, it was gone. Jiang Chengchan ran away with the cactus in his arms.

"Dead camel, Lao Tzu will break a little bit, this is not your family's planting!"

The camel went crazy, running with trembling hair all over his body, and the momentum was violent, Jiang Chengcheng ran and crawled, this dead camel was obviously a vegetarian, and actually bitten, and almost tore the flesh on his shoulder several times, he definitely couldn't run this thing, it is known as the ship of the desert, and no creature in this desert can surpass its endurance, but fortunately, Jiang Chengchan is more flexible, can stop his steps in time, quickly change direction, and can maneuver with it for a while. He has divine power, but against such a rough-skinned and thick-skinned guy, and he doesn't have sharp claws, it is estimated that it is not easy to use, and it is easy to be kicked by it, so his small body can't bear it.

One person and one camel tossed for an hour, and finally the camel gave up, turned around and returned to the cactus group, Jiang Cheng's tired eyes turned black, and he collapsed to the ground, his shirt was torn by it, revealing his strong muscles, and there were dots of blood and tooth marks on his shoulders, to be honest, he was still quite talented, his face was white and pure, but the muscles on his body were shining with a faint bronze.

The fiery sun hung above the pure sky, exuding a deadly heat, and the sand under him was also very hot, his body was burned red, his lips were white, and a layer of dry skin appeared, and his mouth was full of sand smell. It's really a big loss, and it's consumed too much physical strength for such a cactus.

"Whew."

A gust of wind blew, setting off a terrifying heat wave, Jiang Chengzhi wrapped the veil tightly, lay on the ground and resisted for a while, after the wind stopped, he took out the bottle of mineral water, gritted his teeth after opening it, poured half a bottle, he carefully licked a few drops of water overflowing from the bottle, and quickly tightened it again. He took out the trophy, and the thorns on it had pierced his chest quite a bit.

"What is this?"

Jiang Chengcheng was surprised to find that there was a slender wound on this cactus, which was opened along the wound, and a palm-sized transparent glass was embedded in it, no wonder it would reflect light. As a result, the pulp has completely died and withered, and can only be eaten as dried fruit. He was a little annoyed, how could there be industrial waste in this desert?

"Die!"

Jiang Chengcheng was about to smash the glass, but with a buzz, it bloomed with a glass-like light, dazzling, like a small sun, so frightened that he screamed and threw it out, this light was short-lived, disappeared in an instant, and this piece of glass returned to its original state, so quietly inserted between the yellow sand, the sun flashed, reflecting the dull white light.

"This, this is a baby?"

Jiang Chengcheng was stunned for a moment, and even crawled over, and re-examined it, this piece of glass is an irregular diamond shape, no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary glass fragment, but the texture is very hard, he tried to break or break it but could not succeed, at least seven or eight hundred catties of divine power, can not help this thin layer of glass. But the dazzling light did not appear.

"What a baby!"

Jiang Chengcheng was overjoyed, although he didn't know what it was for, but he didn't think it was ordinary, and when he completed this mission, he would take it back to let his sister see, maybe he could get a good bounty. Looking at the scorching sun in the sky, he decided to dig a sand pit and bury himself to avoid the sun first.

"When despair strikes, the flowers of the desert bloom in the sweet fountain of life."

This is not so much the language of flowers as it is a riddle, and only by cracking this sentence can you find the flower of the desert. It is estimated that this sentence is used to describe the growth environment of this flower, the sweet spring of life has two meanings, one is water, the other is real life, could it be that the desert flower blooms on the corpse of an animal? Jiang Chengcheng thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't have a clue, thinking that he came to this thing by chance.

On the other side, Jiangbei City, Tianji News Company.

Jiang Chengyun's sister, that is, Luo Feifei, is in the office, leisurely drinking afternoon tea. This is a very beautiful woman, dyed with a big brown wave, delicate face, red lips and teeth, complexion like jade, a pair of slender legs overlapped, delicate as if carved from ivory, magnificent and elegant, revealing a trace of nobility between gestures, this is a rare temperament, usually only born in a high position, can develop such a calm and unhurried majesty.

"I don't know if Xiao Jiang has hot tea to drink, haha."

Lo Feifei smiled very poorly, she estimated that her brother was suffering from the scorching sun, and must have dug a sand pit, pitifully hiding from the sun. In that kind of desert conditions, if you only bring a bottle of water, the limit survival time of people is not more than five days, and this is still the case of people who put down their dignity and are willing to drink their own urine, otherwise they will die in less than three days, dehydration is a very serious disease, as long as the water loss reaches six percent of body weight, the proportion of intracellular fluid loss will be greater than that of extracellular fluid, which will lead to hallucinations and delirium in the human body.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, Luo Feifei answered, and pushed the door in a middle-aged man with gray hair, a suit and leather shoes, broad shoulders, wearing a pair of silver wire glasses, sharp eyebrows, although his face was covered with small wrinkles, but through these, he could still see that he must have been a beautiful man with a lofty spirit when he was young.

"Yo, Uncle Jiang." Luo Feifei stood up, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Why are you here in person?" ”

"Oh, nothing, I don't think I saw you in a few days." Uncle Jiang nodded, sat on the sofa beside him, and asked straight to the point, "Did you send Xiao Jiang to the Tarim Basin?" ”

Tianji Hunting City is indeed a huge organization all over the country, but all those who have real power have their own areas under their control, known as the suzerain of one side, for example, the suzerain of Jiangbei City is to get rid of it, and their duty is: once any supernatural phenomenon occurs in the area under their jurisdiction, they must go to the scene to investigate and obtain clues as soon as possible, so as to prevent supernatural events from causing harm to ordinary humans. And upload the event to the public information platform of Tianji Hunting City, notify the suzerains of all regions to know, and complete information sharing and exchange.

And this Uncle Jiang is a suzerain in charge of the Tarim Basin, but he is old and can't stand the harsh environment, so he let his son be stationed near the desert, and he retreats to live in Jiangbei City, and he is the real power behind the scenes. So he knew that it was not uncommon for Xiao Jiang to go to the Tarim Basin.

"Yes, I asked him to look for the Flower of Tsuki." Luo Feifei smiled: "The child is older, it's time to prepare to build a foundation for him, and temper his will by the way." ”

The so-called foundation building is the saying of the cultivators, people need to cooperate with some magical medicinal stones and flowers before cultivating, that is, commonly known as divine objects and divine medicines, to build a foundation and complete the foundation of people, so that they can go further on the road of cultivation.

When Uncle Jiang heard this, he pondered for a while, and then said inexplicably: "Since ancient times, all those who have achieved things have a fixed number, it is the destiny of heaven, and life and death are as usual, it depends on whether he is hard enough." ”

Luo Feifei was stunned for a moment, this was obviously something in her words, and she asked: "Could it be that there is an accident in the Tarim Basin?" ”

"Yes." Uncle Jiang nodded and said, "Seven days ago, in the Lop Nur area of the Tarim Basin, there was an abnormal energy fluctuation coming out, the volume was very large, equivalent to one percent of the energy of the Arctic ruins eruption, we originally guessed that there was a ruin there awakening, but this energy quickly dissipated. I sent my men to check it out, and found a huge explosion crater with a diameter of 100 meters, so we initially speculated that some kind of ancient magic weapon had appeared, but some accident happened, and the thing exploded, leaving nothing behind. ”

He took out an aerial image from his bosom, the land was scorched black, and in the middle was a huge crater with a diameter of 100 meters, like a meteorite in the sky.

"We can't guarantee that there will be a similar incident there in the near future." Uncle Jiang added: "So, if Jiang Chengcheng continues to stay there, he may die." ”

So it was, his purpose was to persuade her to recall Jiang Chengchan.

However, a sneer rose in Luo Feifei's heart, according to the rules of Tianji Hunting City, from the occurrence of the vision, the time from the occurrence of the vision to the reporting organization to exchange information should not exceed three days, but this Uncle Jiang dragged on for seven days, and did not choose to report the news, obviously there was a plan, everyone knew that with the recovery of the Arctic ruins, maybe within ten years, or even a few years, the heavens and the earth would change greatly, and the revival of the aura would also become a reality, and he did this because he wanted to monopolize the full value of an ancient ruin.

It seems that if Xiao Jiang hadn't gone there, he would have planned to hide this matter. But he didn't dare, because Jiang Chengyun was a person with a very special significance, when she adopted this orphan, the elders of Tianji Hunting City had sworn that this child had an extraordinary life and could be of great use in the future, and ordered to ensure his safety. If he had caused his death by concealing information, he really couldn't afford to take the responsibility, so he came directly to Lo Feifei, hoping to avoid such a thing without the elders' knowledge.

Thinking of this, Luo Feifei replied nonchalantly: "Since everything has a day to decide, I believe that Xiao Jiangji people have their own natural appearance, maybe by coincidence, you can get some good opportunities." ”

"Oh? Is that so? ”

Uncle Jiang took out a silver cigarette case with an expressionless face, smoked a cigar in it, and struck it on the armrest to make the tobacco tighter, he cut it unhurriedly, lit it with a long match, spit out the smoke, and said, "Do you think I'm here to ask for your opinion?" Jiang Chengchan is very important to the Heavenly Machine Hunting City, you don't know this, the Elders Council doesn't want any accidents to happen to him, I ask you to recall him immediately. ”

His tone became cold, like a dictator's order.

"Uncle Jiang, why are you so tense?" Luo Feifei also sat back in his seat, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Jiang Chengyu is my younger brother, how to arrange his actions, I don't think others can control my head." ”

Jiang Shuteng stood up with a thud and looked at Luo Feifei, she was not afraid, and there was a strong will in her eyes, as if to say that no one could order her.

"Aren't you afraid of his death?"

"Don't be afraid. Someone asked me this question half a day ago, and my answer was: my brother is not mortal, we just need to smile and wait for the result. Luo Feifei is still calm, she seems ruthless at the moment, regardless of her brother's life or death.

"You can't be the master! You're just a titular Heavenly Machine Hunting City Lord, how old are you? You've only been in power for a few years? Uncle Jiang roared as he spoke: "Don't put the old man on the shelf!"
