After taking a short break and preparing to stop, Ye Feng and his party went on the road again.

Their horses and camels were all dead during the battle in Devil's Town, and most of their supplies such as food and water were lost, and even the only light carriage was dismantled, and the wood was used to make traps.

Now Song Hu has replenished enough horses for them, and even sent two camels to them from the logistics team that carried grain and grass for the cavalry, and supplies such as dry food, water, and their burned tents were also fully replenished.

It's just that there is no carriage, and Miss Cheng, Old Man Fu and Little Sanji can only ride horses on the road like everyone else, and endure the suffering of wind and sun in this desert.

On the road this time, although there were only two camel riders left in the team, and the rest of the wounded coachmen and horsemen retreated first with Song Hu's army, there were fifty more majestic and heavily armed cavalry escorts in the team.

With such a mighty team, everyone feels a lot more down-to-earth when they walk on the road.

The journey to the ancient city of Loulan was long and long, and Ye Feng and them walked in the desert Gobi for ten days.

Nothing happened all the way.

It's just that along the way, Ye Feng found that the hunched camel leading the way in front of him became more and more silent, keeping his head down all day long, and he didn't talk to others, looking preoccupied.

Ye Feng originally wanted to ask him, but since he came out of Devil City, he had behaved a little abnormally.

But he was originally a taciturn and unsociable person, and now he seems to be deliberately avoiding everyone, so Ye Feng has never found a chance.

According to the camel and the old man Fu, in a few days, they will be able to arrive in the area of Yanze, where the ancient city of Loulan was located.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at their destination, everyone's hearts gradually relaxed, and they felt an inexplicable excitement.

But at this time, strange things began to happen.

First of all, when everyone got up in the morning, they found that the only two camels in the team who were responsible for carrying the supplies had died.

Known as the "ship of the desert", camels are extremely resistant to hunger and thirst, and endure hardships and hardships, and are almost the best choice for carrying heavy goods in the desert.

What's more, camels have a strong sense of direction, and experienced camels can even lead people who get lost in the desert out of the desert, so they are also an indispensable and reliable companion for desert travelers.

However, now the only two camels are all dead, which is really a big loss for Ye Feng and their team.

The camel riders had been with the camels all day long and had a deep affection for them, and at this moment, the two camel riders in the group could not help but kneel in front of the camel's carcass and caress the corpse in grief.

Could it be that he is suffering from some kind of acute illness?

But when Miss Cheng examined the carcass of the camel, she came to a conclusion that surprised everyone: the camel was poisoned!

She searched the carcass, and both camels were unharmed, and there were no signs of disease, except in the buttocks of the camels, and found an inconspicuous slightly red and swollen needle eye, which could not be seen at all if you did not look closely.

It appears that the two camels were poisoned by people who had been stabbed in the buttocks with poisonous needles.

Just a little skin puncture can kill such a huge camel, so bloody throat, so poisonous!

Who did it?

Ye Feng was naturally reluctant to doubt the people in his team.

So it was an enemy from outside who did it?

Ye Feng asked the sergeant who was on duty last night, but they said that they didn't see outsiders coming in all night, and there was not even any unusual movement.

Seeing the poison that sealed his throat with blood, Ye Feng suddenly thought of two blue-watered, highly poisonous daggers, which were the killers of the cold-blooded thirteen killings who had just left not long ago, poisonous snakes!

With the martial arts of poisonous snakes, they wanted to hide from the ears and eyes of these night soldiers, and sneaked into Ye Feng's camp unknowingly and poisoned these two heads

Camels, it's a breeze.

But Tang Da shook his head, he didn't think it would be a poisonous snake.

He has fought with poisonous snakes, although this person is a killer and is proficient in all kinds of assassination and raid methods, but his martial arts path is faintly everyone's style, and he is by no means a sinister and vicious villain.

He would never and disdainfully poisoned Ye Feng and their two camels, and if he wanted to do it, he would also deal with people, not livestock.

Besides, he had already said that the mission he took on this time was just to ensure the safety of Brother Lan, and he had no interest in getting rid of Ye Feng's party.

Zhang Fatzi on the side listened to Tang Da's words, and couldn't help but shout at this time: "A killer who can sell himself to kill people for money, is this kind of person's words credible? What if he is lying?"

Tang Da smiled and did not speak.

He believed the words of the viper.

Although he had never had anything to do with the poisonous snake before, and he only knew each other because of his previous fights, he could tell from the poisonous snake's martial arts that this was by no means an ordinary killer.

Although it is true that he is a killer for money, this person's temperament is so arrogant and his self-esteem is so high, he will never bother to tell a lie.

Because he thinks that with his martial arts, he can solve all problems, and he doesn't have to do such tasteless things as lying.

Zhang Fatzi was a little unconvinced when he saw Tang Da's attitude, but he couldn't continue to say anything, so he could only suggest: "If it is an external enemy, no matter how light the skill is, there will definitely be footprints on this soft sandy soil." We can take a look around the camp and maybe get some clues. ”

Ye Feng shook his head gently.

It's useless, the desert is windy at night, flying sand and rocks, even if there are footprints, the wind blows this night, and all kinds of traces have been completely covered.

Although the murderer could not be found, he still had to continue on his way.

Everyone divided the supplies that the camels had carried among the horses, and then continued on the road.

On this day's journey, they were extra careful, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time.

But nothing happened along the way.

Ye Feng just felt that the camel leading the way at the front of the line became more silent, and there was a cautious look in his demeanor.

Another person who seemed to be preoccupied was Tang Da, who had been deliberately falling behind the end of the team on this day, and looked a little uneasy.

When it was time to camp at night, Vice General Hao deliberately set up Ye Feng's camp tent in the middle, and the surrounding circle was full of the camp of his sergeants, and the manpower of night guards was added, so that if someone attacked at night, it could also ensure Ye Feng's safety to the greatest extent.

The night was uneventful.

When it was almost dawn, everyone was suddenly awakened by the panicked shouts of the sergeants, and hurriedly got up and ran out.

This time someone died.

It was the two camel riders who died, and they died in their tents, and their bodies were found by several sergeants who were on night watch, and the camel who could be out of sight for several nights.

Because of the strange events of the previous night, the camel had always felt restless, so he did not go to rest this night, but spent the night patrolling the camp with the sergeants on duty.

When it was almost dawn, he found that the curtain of a tent was open, as if it had been moved, and when he entered the tent, he saw that the two camel riders who had lived in the tent were lying on the ground and had died.

Miss Cheng examined the bodies of the two people, the skin of these two people was black, bleeding from the seven orifices, and there were no obvious injuries on the whole body, only a small inconspicuous pinhole on the back of the neck.

Miss Cheng soon came to the conclusion that they, like the two camels that had died violently last night, had been poisoned by people who had been stabbed in the neck with a poisonous needle.

What a domineering poison!

Last night's two camels couldn't speak, but this time they were two big living people

However, he was stabbed in the neck, but he was killed immediately before he could scream, it seems that not only is this poisonous needle powerful, but the martial arts of this person who did it are not simple.

Last night, these many sergeants on duty also didn't find anything abnormal, they were able to quietly pass by the tents of the surrounding sergeants, touch Ye Feng's camp, and retreat after killing people, could this person's martial arts really be so high?

Ye Feng and the others didn't know what to do, but at this time, Tang Da's eyes flickered, but his face suddenly sank.

He said to Ye Feng a little anxiously: "You guys hurry up and pack up now and go on the road immediately." ”

Ye Feng saw that he was anxious, and it was clear that something very serious had happened, so he asked, "What about you?"

Tang Da's eyebrows tightened, as if he was facing a great problem, and said, "I want to stay." ”

Ye Feng was taken aback, Tang Da actually wanted to stay alone?

Leaving alone in this desert is tantamount to waiting for death, what did he think of to make such a decision?

Ye Feng asked in disbelief, "Are you staying alone?"

Tang Da looked at Ye Feng's expression full of concern, suddenly smiled, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." The ears and eyes of the Tang Sect are all over the world, but they are not blown out. You go first, I'll stay and I'll follow as soon as I'm done." ”

The expression on his face suddenly changed to resoluteness, and he said, "I stayed to wait to see someone. ”

Ye Feng listened to the meaning of his words, as if Tang Da wanted to stay to meet a person from the Tang Sect, so he must have made some arrangements.

Only then did he feel relieved.

He trusted Tang Da, not only because he had always trusted his friends, but also because Tang Da had never said a word of lie to him since they met.

This time, Tang Nature would not lie to him.

It's a pity that this time, Tang Da really lied to him.

Hurriedly packed their bags, and when the sky was just showing a glimmer of light, Ye Feng and the others were on the road again.

Ye Feng rode on horseback and looked back at Tang Da's figure waving goodbye to them from a distance, and felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't tell why.

Tang Da rejected Ye Feng's offer to leave him some dry food and water, which at least showed that Tang Da would not leave them for a long time, and should be able to catch up soon.

Ye Feng comforted himself like this. But the slightest uneasiness in my heart is still there, lingering.

Seeing Ye Feng and them gradually move away, Tang Da turned around and sat down beside the still burning bonfire.

His heart was not at peace, but he tried to suppress his emotions and calm himself down, because he had to remain calm when facing this person.

He took a long breath, slowly picked up a stick from the ground and threw it into the fire in front of him.

The firewood branch burned, making a "crackling" crackling sound, and the flames jumped twice.

Through the jumping flames, Tang Da saw a figure striding towards him in the early morning light.

It's finally here!

Tang Da stood up and greeted this person.

He smiled and said to the visitor, "I guessed a good point, it's you!"

The person who came also smiled and said, "Knowing that it is me, you dare to stay alone to face me, it is really commendable." ”

Tang Da secretly tried to adjust his breathing, and said, "Since I expected it to be you, of course I understand that only by blocking you can they be truly safe." ”

The visitor smiled again: "You want to stop me by yourself, can you do it?"

Tang Da's words were full of firmness: "I want to give it a try!"

The person who came also put away his smile at this time, his face was cold, and he was prepared!

At this time, the bonfire between the two people didn't know if it was because of the strong wind in the desert, or because of the murderous aura of the two people colliding with each other, the flames were pressed down and beating!
