Chapter 128

After sleeping for less than three hours at night, they were driven up by the cold and had to continue on their way. The desert is like an oven during the day, but like an ice cellar at night. Of course, the temperature here is not as exaggerated as freezing point, but the sand and wind quickly and mercilessly take away the heat from the body, just as the sun in the daytime takes away the water.

There are two moons in the sky. The double moon with halo is bigger and brighter than the earth's moon, and it has no elegant style at all. Mottled stripes hang on the yellow moon, seemingly slow, but in fact it is running fast. It was a storm on the moon, enough to tear steel into sand and crush rocks into dust.

"No, don't be where I want to be." Zhao Mai turns on his mobile phone and turns forward to "travel tips" in "service information". It still shows "the forgotten world", not "the forgotten country". If it is the latter, he may be in the Searle ruled by the Red Wizard, or the ruins of the nether Empire, or the enook desert ruled by ghost city. But there are absolutely no two moons in the forgotten country. It won't be the famous feru.

Another world is famous for its deserts, or the whole world is a big desert. If you want to list the "fantasy world you don't want to go to most", atas in the background of the setting sun can definitely rank in the top five. Zhao Mai gave a bitter smile and sighed his "good luck". It's a dangerous place. I was so lucky that I could get food and water.

"We can't have a rest tonight," Zhao Mai said to Bucher. Without shelter, even rest is just exhausting our physical strength. Our physical strength, if we want to reach the mountains, is already stretched, so we can't spend too much on waiting. "

Bucher nodded and tore at the spider's flesh. The honey taken from the beetle has greatly improved his health. The sequelae of heatstroke and dehydration have been greatly reduced. He also has an appetite to eat. It is for this reason that precious honey should be left, and the meat that is easy to rot should be solved first.

Fortunately, Zhao Mai's luck is still there, that is, the fare paid by Xue vaccinia, the lucky one who "found what he wanted". Before dawn, the two men passed a predatory field, where the remains of many giant insects and desert animals were scattered in the sand pit. Many small beetles gathered inside, making a frightening biting sound, creaking incessantly.

"There's nothing we need in it. Don't take the risk." No matter how much Bucher persuades, Zhao Mai is not moved. He bypassed the small beetle that was eating and came carefully to the clean animal carcass. Here are the remains of several round shell beetles. Zhao Mai takes a fancy to their curved back armor.

"All go away, all go away, go to other places to eat, don't affect me to take the crustacean!" Zhao Mai uses wild communication, and finally successfully persuades a group of satiated corpse eating beetles to get out of the way. Then he uses a magic dagger to cut off two pieces of one square meter back armor. Then, holding his breath, he returned to safety carefully and calmly, and fled there with Bucher.

With a few strips of cloth, these two light, strong back armor became the sunshade - the kind of top on the head style. This time, the sun won't shine directly on the head, and there will be shadows on the shoulders and upper body. Ordinary materials, such as canvas, must not be used in this way. The increased surface area will collect more heat. The shell of the beetle has good heat insulation and partial reflection, so it can be used widely. Although it is often necessary to hold the cloth to fight against the wind in the desert, it is an absolutely cost-effective choice to exchange this trouble for the shade with slightly lower temperature.

The lower the body surface temperature, the lower the speed of their physical consumption, but consumption is consumption, always accumulated to the limit. The next day, the third day, they still have the strength to set traps to kill insects, and the strength to detour to avoid gathering desert monsters. On the fourth day, let alone fighting, they exhausted all their spare energy except breathing, drinking water and walking.

Fortunately, the mountains have become very big, and they should arrive one day and one night. Two people are dragging heavy footstep, a pit a pit of step forward, leave clear footprints. Although the legs are like lead, they can't be dragged on the ground, which will consume more energy. Although Zhao Mai is a druid, he wants to be a skeleton monster at this time, so he won't feel tired.

And his destination, that is to say, the mountains that protrude from the sand sea in the northeast, the place called megirot mountain, is a group of sand thieves hiding in the cave, avoiding the sun, waiting for the night, and waiting for the prey at the same time.

There are thirteen people, men, women, young and old. All of them are related to each other. Although some of them are related to rape and more chaotic things, the ancestors who caused all this are dead. It is better to add "relatives" and "interests" as fetters than simple "interests".

There is a general ranking within the gang according to the level of force, and the most intuitive performance is their decorations. Those who can use gems have a higher status than those who can only use teeth and bones. As for those who have nothing, they are newcomers who have just joined the gang. They have no use but to be obedient and beaten. There are three such newcomers. Their current task is to take care of the fire.

Just taking care of the fire, these three hands can't touch food and water. In fact, this group of relatives always eat their own food, only a few people will exchange food with each other. Under the white headscarf, every pair of eyes is always on guard. They stare at the front with these eyes, listen to the back with their ears, sniff out danger with their noses, and curse with their mouths.People who are eating are chewing slowly and rhythmically. It is said that in the desert, someone can judge his hunger level, infer his food stock and body water level by listening to other people's eating voice. This information can sometimes be a reason for killing and looting. So we all like sheep, pursed lips, bit by bit, bit by bit silent chewing.

The leader of the group was a fierce and dangerous old man. He didn't allow anyone to call him by his real name, but called him "grandfather". He has the right to enjoy the darkest and coolest place in the cave, rest on his back against the cool rock, and drink water first. He was satisfied with the silence in the cave, which showed that his prestige was still strong. "If someone whispers, it means someone is going to stab a dagger in the back." Grandfather has always remembered this sentence.

He reached out and pulled the black veil that hung down from his turban. This originally belonged to his "daughter-in-law". After being gnawed off by the desert earthworm, her veil returned to the hands of "grandfather". In the daytime, the veil can block the sunlight, and in the cave, it can block the sight. Behind the veil, sniffing the familiar smell, "grandfather" with his eyes unscrupulously peep at all people, without being alerted.

No one knew who he was looking at, so everyone was afraid.

"We need to catch slaves. Slaves are in a good market now. That's great!" The leader suddenly said a word, and the fire in the cave trembled. "The fighting in the stadium is endless, and countless people die. It is said that the temple tower is going to open a new competition. Those people are crazy, but we need money, we need iron, and we can trade them for meat. "

"Yes, granddad." His ferocious deputy said: "if we can catch strong slaves and package them as gladiators, the market price is five times as high as before. It's a good business, but where can we find such slaves? "

"I plan to attack Huiyin silver mine, where there are few management personnel. As long as we kill them, the remaining slaves will be ours." The grandfather said, "who is for it, who is against it?"

"Grandfather, you'd better have a look. I found something interesting." Said the sand robber who watched the wind.
