The caravan entered the desert, in addition to preparing enough food and water, but also sold all the horses for camels, camels known as the ship of the desert, I thought that I could take the opportunity to exchange camels to find out what kind of goods were in the carriage, who would have thought that these goods were all wrapped layer by layer, and the outside was loaded with a solid iron box, if it was not for the perspective eye, otherwise it would never be able to penetrate the inside, even the people who moved these iron boxes were the fat boss's own hands.

"Could it be that this is filled with real money? How could it be so heavy? Not to mention that I have never heard of darts walking so many things at once. ”

After the young fisherman stepped into the desert for the first time, he was a little unable to resist this loneliness, he was very impetuous, and even the desert began to get hot in April and May.

"Why? Could it be that you've done dart walking before?"

Ah Niu couldn't help but ask curiously, but the fisherman shook his head.

"Where can I do this dart? I have seen it in the past when I was fishing for a living, and you also know that ginger water is not a fishing season all year round, and when you can't fish, you can also take on other jobs to do, such as carrying passengers, such as transporting goods, what to make money, and what to do. ”

"That doesn't look like you've had a good time before. ”

"It's not nonsense, this is the first time I've been out of the door so far, and I don't know if what the guy said just now is true or not, there are really demons in this desert? And what is the place of Emei Mountain? It sounds very powerful, it can't be more powerful than you. ”

"I don't know. ”

Niu shook his head.

"There are more people in the world who are more powerful than me, and there are several of them in our caravan. ”

"You mean the three old men, and the old man with yellow teeth with the sword case on his back? With all due respect, his sword case is mediocre and even a little rudimentary, and it can really hold a powerful sword?"

"I don't know, there may not be a handful, or there may be many, why don't you call him over and ask, and you say that you want to drink his wine, and he will definitely be happy." ”

"But I'm not happy, I don't know if I haven't rinsed my mouth for decades, maybe it's all poisonous. ”

The young fisherman walked at the back of the line and muttered, which was not particularly loud, but happened to be heard by the old man with yellow teeth who walked in the middle of the line, and the old man once again deliberately fell to the back of the line.

"I said, young man, are you afraid that there are really demons in this desert?"

He gestured to the young fisherman, and tapped a withered hand on the fisherman's shoulder.

I don't know what's going on, but the fisherman who thought that he had killed someone once and then broke into the bandit's den was almost thrown off the camel's back by such a slap, and then looked at the old man with yellow teeth with a frightened face, and the latter smiled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

"Young man, your body is not good, you have to exercise well. ”

Ah Niu smiled faintly at this, he didn't speak, and the old man with yellow teeth ignored him, but he also fell at the back of the caravan unhurriedly, walking a mile and drinking a sip.

This desert is so big that it is boundless, fortunately, it is not when the wind and sand are strong in June and July, and it is barely a blue sky and white clouds, but for some reason, "Ah Niu" always feels that this blue sky and white clouds are not as calm as imagined.

Encampment, a few old men pondered about this for a long time before deciding to come down, just because of the old man with yellow teeth, watching the stars at night, there is no wind and sand tonight, no wind and sand can find an oasis as a resting place without worry, there is a lake, there are many tall aquatic plants and shrubs growing next to the lake, all the camp tents are set up when the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the camp bonfire is lit, and only after taking enough drinking water can the camel team go to drink, this is dinner time.

"You've learned wisely this time, and you know that you bring food. ”

The old man with yellow teeth found the two again, and seemed to know that they would not drink with him, and he didn't ask, but just drank to himself.

"There's no way to bring food, old man, where to find food in this vast desert?"

After being slapped off the camel's back by the old man with yellow teeth, the young fisherman unconsciously began to be respectful to the old man, and even took out the dried meat he bought to share with the old man with the yellow tooth, in fact, he just knew that the old man would not eat if he couldn't bite, so he was so generous.

The old man with yellow teeth didn't eat after all, he took a sip of wine and smiled.

"The desert looks like there's nothing but sand, but there's a lot to eat. ”

The yellow-toothed old man held a wine jug in one hand, and took out a scorpion the size of his middle finger in the sand with the other hand behind his buttocks, and he held the scorpion between his two fingers, and the young fisherman looked at it with a chill on his back, although he was not born in the desert, he also knew how many poisons in the desert, the scorpion was a poison, the poisonous snake was a poison, and the spider was a poison.

"Old man, you don't want to eat this, do you?"

The young fisherman swallowed.

"Of course, you can't eat this, this one is for wine. ”

The old man with yellow teeth threw the whole scorpion directly into the wine jug, and the young fisherman who watched it was stunned.

"Do you dare to drink? This desert is extremely cold at night, and drinking two sips can ward off the cold. ”

"Forget it, I'd rather freeze to death than drink this thing. ”

The young fisherman shook his head.

"What about you, boy, do you dare to drink?"

The yellow-toothed old man then looked at him again, "Ah Niu." ”

"Dare to drink, why don't you dare?"

Ah Niu smiled faintly, he took the liquor that had just been soaked in a poisonous scorpion, and he no longer disliked the yellow tooth old man's sip of the yellow tooth wine jug, he raised his head and drank most of it.

"What about the scorpion? The scorpion is not going to be swallowed by you, is it?"

The fisherman hurriedly asked, and Ah Niu said lightly.

"The scorpion is still in the jug, wouldn't it be a pity to eat such a fat thing like this?"

The yellow-toothed old man looked at the expressionless young man, and there was an imperceptible gleam in his eyes.

Ah Niu returned the wine jug, the wine was very strong, and drinking it was like a fire burning in the stomach, but it soon calmed down, and the internal organs were cool, he touched the beads that had cracks in his arms, and stood up.

"Isn't it time to rest? I'm going to wash up. ”

"Wait for me, I'll go too. ”

The two young men walked towards the small lake one after the other, and at this time it was the time when the caravan was lively, and the girl in red in the carriage also got out of the carriage, but she no longer pulled Ah Niu over, nor did she apologize for what happened before, probably in her heart.

The caravan exchanged all the horses for camels, there were at least a few hundred camels, such a huge camel team in the desert in addition to worrying about storms almost did not need to worry about anything else, the lake was very large, at least half the size of Jiangxia Lake, it was really rare for such a large lake to appear in this kind of place where there was yellow sand everywhere, but they didn't think so much after all, hundreds of camels were lining up to drink water in an orderly manner, each camel hump consumed two large boxes of goods, they wanted to get closer to see, but someone was guarding, the more people guarded him, the more unusual the two of them felt, but finally they didn't go directly to see what these boxes contained。

"I had a bad feeling. ”

Ah Niu frowned.

"I always felt that something bad might happen tonight. ”

"Maybe it's just a delusion, after all, what can happen to us hundreds of people? Even if there is another wave of horse thieves, we may not be able to get benefits. ”

The young fisherman only thought too much about the Ah Niu surnamed Zhang next to him, but unfortunately the commander only said that his surname was Zhang, but he didn't mention anything else, so he recognized him as Zhang Ah Niu.

"Horse thieves don't get any good, but there are more people or things than horse thieves. ”

"Those old men you said are really so powerful? If so, why didn't the three of them turn the tide when they met the bandits before? ”

"I don't know how powerful they are, I just know that they won't shoot easily, just like the sword box behind the old man with yellow teeth. ”

They soaked their feet comfortably beside the lake, but they didn't know what was going on, the rest of the camels that had not yet drunk water were stopped by the whipping, and the camels after drinking water also began to panic, and Ah Niu, who had just put on his shoes and socks, frowned and quickly carried the young fisherman's left foot with his right arm and floated out, ten feet away from the lake。

The caravan mutinied, and the remaining hundreds of camels fled in all directions, for fear of being dragged into the water by the tentacles in the lake, and a lot of them were lost in such a sudden scene, and the girl in red was frightened and immediately hid back in the carriage, together with a few maids, the fat boss did not dare to breathe, and stared at the eerie lake under the night.

"What was that just now?"

The young fisherman swallowed a mouthful of saliva, if it weren't for Ah Niu's quick eyes, I'm afraid it should be them who were dragged into the lake just now, he Zhao Qian has lived in Jiangshui since he was a child, what kind of water has he never seen?

At night, the lake is quiet again, but the most beautiful oasis in the desert looks like a wild beast snooping in the dark.

"See clearly?"

The caravan was waiting for the enemy, and they retreated a hundred meters away from the lake, but the old man with yellow teeth walked over slowly, and he was asking Ah Niu, after all, there was no one else except Ah Niu and the fisherman, who were closest to the lake.

"I didn't see it clearly. ”

Niu shook his head.

"I only saw two tentacles, and the two camels were gone, and the darts were gone, what happened over there? Did the lost camels get back?"

"Not yet, but someone has already been sent, and I'm curious about what the things in this lake are, how can such evil animals appear in this desert?"

"You should say how this thing is targeting us. ”

Ah Niu glanced at the old man with yellow teeth with deep meaning, and although the old man was surprised, he still didn't explain.

He only said one word.

"You can't throw a dart away. ”

"This thing is valuable?"

"Great value. ”

"There are so many priceless treasures at once?"

"Yes. ”

"It reminds me of one thing, but I won't say it. ”

"You don't say it's best. ”

"I finally know why this thing is targeting us, and I don't think these dozens of taels of silver are far from enough for our compensation. ”

"It's not enough, it's a matter of later, the top priority is to solve this evil animal first, and then take the dart back even if you dig out your heart and lungs. ”

"Solved this, there will be the next one. ”

"Let's solve one by one. ”

Ah Niu suddenly stopped talking, because he saw that the other two old men in the caravan also came over, two old men who did not deserve the sword box, but had a sword, but these two swords looked really weird, one of the hilt was bamboo, the scabbard was also bamboo, his sword was a crutch, and the other person's sword could not be called a sword, but a piece of iron was sandwiched between two pieces of wood to make a hilt.

"What are you going to do?"

Ah Niu couldn't help asking, at this time the young fisherman had already run to the caravan, he was not stupid, he knew that something might happen next, and he would only take his life if he stayed there.

"What else can I do? I can only force this thing out of the lake, and I can't lose those two boxes of things, not a single box. ”

"How do you force such a big lake out of such a big lake, and I don't know how deep the lake is?"

"There's nothing you can't do if you want to do it. ”

The yellow-toothed old man took another sip of spirits, and he looked at Ah Niudao.

"Little brother, are you terrible to death?"

"Afraid of death, who is not afraid of death?"

Ah Niu laughed to himself.

"But being afraid of death doesn't mean you're going to die, I know what you want to do, come on, I don't think anyone in this team will dare to lure that thing out except me. ”

Ah Niu stepped on a sword, a sword from the sword box behind the old man with yellow teeth rising into the sky, this sword is three feet long, three fingers wide, the sword body is green, this sword first rose from the sword box, and then went straight down to the feet of A Niu, the flying sword carried people away from the place in an instant and stabilized to the lake, just like this, the flying sword magic power has made everyone in the caravan wide-eyed, this way to praise each other, no one can think that this unattractive old man with yellow teeth is the real master of the master, although there is no shortage of rumors about the flying of the sword in the rivers and lakes, but a few people can really see it？

Compared to the shock of the caravan, Ah Niu on the flying sword was not surprised even though he was surprised, but he felt that the sword box behind the old man with yellow teeth was by no means as simple as only one sword.

Sure enough, after a sword, several more swords rose to the sky and then hung above the lake, plus a sword at Ah Niu's feet, the arrangement seemed simple but extremely obscure, and there were many mysteries.

It turned out that the sword box behind the yellow-toothed old man actually hid seven swords.
