Yue Guanchao spread his hands: "We don't have any problems, but you have to pay attention to safety, the desert is not very peaceful, and I don't want you to be harmed." ”

Gu Xixi nodded: "You don't have to worry about this, unless we encounter some bloodthirsty beasts, we can solve it ourselves, besides, there are many demon hunters in the desert, they know this desert better than us, and if they are really in danger, maybe they can ask these demon hunters for help." ”

Since both sides are satisfied, then they have decided to cooperate, Yue Guanchao looked at everyone, and saw that they did not object, so he decided on this matter, and took Gu Xixi and Gu Baiyue as desert guides.

Having said that, since they have already paid the foundation, they will also settle the matter, and then go back to their rooms to rest.

The Hotan Oasis at night is quite cool, not hot, and the cool breeze blows through the courtyard, startling a rattan leaf.

Early the next morning, Yue Guanchao woke up in a sleepy daze, and what penetrated into his ears was no longer the sound of birds singing and leaves, but the rattling vibration caused by the smashing of the wall, as if there were stones slamming the walls and windows outside, and the sound of gurgling and whining with the howl of the ghost and the wolf made him vigilant.

Yue Guanchao rubbed his eyes, walked to the windowsill, opened the window and only pushed open the window panel, only to see the wind rushing into the room in an instant, as if someone had thrown a handful of dust in front of him, and the whole person was blown to ashes by the wind, plus there was a lot of sand and gravel in the wind, and it hurt very much when the stone hit his face, and he felt that he had been thrown a lot of flour into his throat, and he was blown dry and painful.

"Poof!"

"What the hell is this weather today, wasn't it okay last night?"

Yue Guanchao took advantage of the transparent glass on the machine, looking outside through the glass, the county town in the distance was completely invisible, all hidden in the chaotic and blurred yellow sand haze, the visibility was up to more than ten meters, and the sand particles would be smashed on the glass at any time, and the gurgling sound was the sound of sand blowing on the wall.

You don't have to think about it, you know it's a sandstorm!

He was about to close the curtains and close the inner window panel, when his eyes inadvertently looked up, only to see four dragon snake-like black shadows swimming in the yellow sand clouds above his head, and they were meandering in the clouds under the cover of the sandstorm, like flying dragons in the sky, shuttling endlessly.

Seeing this scene, Yue Guanchao thought that he was dazzled, and rubbed his eyes several times, but he didn't see the four swimming dragons disappear, but let them fly closer to the city.

"Bang bang bang!"

Hearing a knock at his door, he pushed open the door and let the outsiders in, Song Siyuan and they had already walked in and closed the door with a bang.

Yue looked at the tide and motioned for them to look at the sky outside the windowsill: "Have you seen the dragon in the sky?" ”

"We've seen it too." Song Siyuan nodded at him and continued: "However, I don't think there is really a sand succubus demon dragon in this sky, it may be a strip of cloth blown into the sky or some dragon lantern, you still remember the four dragon lanterns in Baita Square, the swimming dragons in the sky happen to be four, and this kind of thing in the sky should not be such a coincidence." ”

Before the words fell, he had already seen the black shadows of the four dragons in the sky, which seemed to be torn apart by the wind and sand, and the limbs were broken, and they continued to fall in the direction of the city.

The huge dragon body continued to dismember its organs, and it was really the dragon lantern from last night that fell to the ground, and they were finally relieved to know that it was not a demon dragon swimming in the sky.

"The weather has changed too much."

Yue Guanchao still wanted to go to Hongbai Mountain today, the sandstorm was blowing like this, and I was afraid that it would have to be delayed.

Keli said: "The weather in the desert is like this, as long as it is close to the desert city, it is basically affected by the sandstorm, it may be that the demon wind blows in which direction in the desert, and the dust is blown directly to the oasis, but this demon wind will soon disappear and return to normal." ”

After about two hours, the wind around me became quieter and quieter, and even the sand and soil decreased, indicating that the sandstorm was gradually decreasing, and finally disappeared completely in the afternoon.

In the oasis, at least there is vegetation, and the dust soon falls to the ground after the sandstorm disappears, and the original blue sky begins to appear overhead.

However, the castle seems to be covered with sand, and a thin layer of yellow sand has accumulated.

"My cattle and sheep, my cattle and sheep."

They were about to go out, when they suddenly heard the cry of someone in Taicheng, judging from the sound, it was most likely that the cattle and sheep were blown away.

Yue Guanchao pushed open the lock of the house and the hospital door, and continued to walk towards Taicheng with the sound.

This is a barn at the top of the castle, with a smooth surface formed by rammed earth, and a wooden fence more than one person high has been woven around the perimeter.

When they entered the threshing floor, they immediately understood what was going on with the cries of the people in the vicinity.

At this moment, there are countless cattle and sheep lying on the drying field, and the skin and fur of these cattle and sheep are intact, but they are completely devoid of moisture like air-dried jerky, and they are visibly shrunk and dried up to the naked eye.

Selling one of these cattle and sheep is a year's food for the whole family, and dozens of cattle and sheep are all tossed in, which is equivalent to losing the family's wealth.

Some herdsmen with round hats, not only pity the cattle and sheep, but also feel that they were tossed by the devil, crying a lot, in the crowd of onlookers, they can see at a glance Gu Xixi and Gu Baiyue brother and sister, Yue Guanchao They walked over and asked: "It can't be that the sand phantom demon dragon sucked them dry, right?" ”

Gu Xixi nodded at them, and his words became serious: "There are no wounds on the body, but the water on the body has been completely absorbed, this is indeed the handiwork of the Sand Demon Dragon." ”

Her eyes were strange: "It's just that we don't know why it blows directly to Moyu County, the weather of sandstorms is often only at the edge of the oasis is more violent, and it can be blown directly into the inside of the oasis, which means that it is a very large-scale sandstorm, this kind of sandstorm often takes three days and five days to subside, how can it return to normal in only half a day, it is really strange." ”

"King Sharon, it must be King Sharon, the Demon King will only find King Sharon to bring down this calamity when he is angry."

As they spoke, the people in the vicinity all looked sad, and there was a sadness hidden between their eyebrows, and in their opinion, these cattle and sheep that had been drained of their blood were all disasters brought down by the king of Sharon.

Yue Guanchao and they were originally interested in the Sand Phantom Demon Dragon, and now, the legendary salon bloodthirsty phenomenon happened in front of their eyes, and of course everyone didn't want to miss the opportunity again, at least, to understand why these cattle and sheep were sucked dry of blood.

Song Siyuan looked down at the dead cattle and sheep, this herdsman who was crying profusely, thought that these people were going to be unfavorable to the cattle and sheep, and wanted to drive them away, as if he was unwilling to let them approach his herd.

"Uncle, how do you think that these dead cattle and sheep were harmed by King Sharon? Is it possible that some sandstorm creatures have drained their blood? ”

Regarding this, the herdsmen in front of him insisted on their own ideas, waving their hands at them, their eyes full of fear: "Hotan has also been a lot of sandstorms, and they have always only raged at the border of the Hotan Oasis, Moyu County is located in the southernmost part of the Hotan Oasis, if there are sandstorms here, it can only be brought by the desert demon dragon, if you don't believe it, you can check the bodies of these cattle and sheep." ”

Yue Guanchao had this intention, pulled out a dagger from his waist, lowered his head and cut the neck of a cow.

The skin that should have spurted blood outwards seemed to have been cut open, and the flesh and blood inside had completely dried up, and even the blood had coagulated together, as if it had been completely dried by something, and only the outer skin was intact, and the body had been completely absorbed from the water and became very dry.

Song Siyuan looked down at the peeled skin, and agreed with the herdsman's statement, the cattle and sheep were indeed sucked dry of all the blood in their bodies, and even the muscles and tendons had become completely dry jerky, which was very close to the herdsmen's dried jerky.

This also means that in just half a day, the so-called sand charm in the sand and dust has already sucked the blood of dozens of cattle and sheep, and even completely sucked up the water in the body.

Realizing this, Song Siyuan frowned: "How can this be?" If it is simply blown by the wind and sand, how can these cattle and sheep be completely drained? If there is something in the sand, why do they only attack cattle, sheep and livestock, and do not harm the people? ”

"The four black dragons we saw just now are clearly just made up dragon lanterns, and the rest have never seen any dragon snake forms, if they are really some creatures, how do they absorb the water in their bodies?"

"Could it be that some illusionist is still doing it?"

She looked at Gu Xixi, even if she didn't suspect the Gu family brothers and sisters, at least she thought of the incident that happened in Dunhuang City back then.

Gu Xixi shook his head at them: "Impossible, I didn't detect any traces of illusion, and no one can use illusion to create such a large-scale sandstorm, as for these who have been drained of blood, it is even more impossible, illusion only changes the vision of the human eye, and it has never been said that it can really change, and this alone has ruled out the possibility of illusion." ”
