Several camels screamed outside the palace, and the screams pierced the night sky, making the otherwise silent night sky even more chilling.
The camel's screams made Li Ling and the others feel a chill in their hearts. They were all slightly surprised and frightened. The expressions on their faces were all ugly, because the camels' screams meant that the camels had suffered misfortune.
"No, the camels are in danger!" Li Ling reacted first, frowned, turned around and ran out of the hall, but one of the camels had already fallen to the ground, and its throat was cut with a sharp weapon to bleed out.
, already dying.
Li Ling walked forward in a few steps. The person who attacked the camel had disappeared under the night sky. Naturally, the person who came was to prevent Li Ling and the others from entering the center of the desert.
Li Ling knelt down and stroked the dying camel. The camel groaned a few times and then died.
"We have another camel?" Jing Jing looked around, but there was no sign of the other camel.
Was the other camel also taken away and killed by the other party?
Li Ling looked at the dead camel on the ground and sighed slightly: "A moment of negligence allowed the other party to take advantage of the opportunity. It seems that this camel was cut at the throat with a very fast knife."
Broken, the opponent struck so quickly that the camel only had time to scream before it fell into a pool of blood."
"Did one of the four agents do it just now?" Xiao Yuan pondered slightly.
"Probably not. Of the four foreign agents just now, two were seriously injured by me and fell unconscious. Two lost their fighting consciousness. They were defeated and had no time to escape. How could they turn back to kill Luotuo? I think there must be someone else.
, also came to keep us quiet." Li Ling analyzed, shaking his head secretly, feeling that this matter was getting more and more complicated.
There was a hint of wisdom in Mandala's eyes. He also squatted down and carefully inspected the camel's wounds. His fingers were stained with some blood, and he sniffed between the wings of his nose and carefully inspected the fur everywhere on the camel's body.
Finally, Mandala found a plum blossom-shaped dart-shaped hidden weapon under the belly of a camel.
Mandala moved his fingertips slightly, tore off a strip of cloth from his body, and wrapped the strip of cloth around the plum blossom dart, frowning slightly.
"This is the plum blossom dart!" Li Ling looked at the plum blossom dart that Mandala had taken off the camel's fur and said in slight shock.
"Well, this plum blossom dart is extraordinary. It is coated with a highly toxic substance. This poison looks like a blooming blood flower. It will emit a gleaming light under the moonlight. I guess
, this is a plum blossom dart coated with snake venom." Mandala held the plum blossom dart in his hand and looked at the plum blossom dart wrapped in a strip of cloth in his hand.
"Then... the other party, since they are hiding in the dark and hurting our camels, their purpose is to cut off our means of transportation and the camels' ability to find water. Hey, this is really bad. So what should we do now?"
Xiao Yuan sighed slightly. As a wild survivalist, although he has rich experience, if he loses his camel in the desert, it means losing an excellent navigator and survival opportunity.
Li Ling took the plum-blossom dart from Mandala's hand, flipped it and looked at the front and back of the plum-blossom dart, and said: "Now, we still have a camel whose life and death are unknown. However, this camel was taken by the other party.
The possibility of taking away the camels is relatively high. It can be seen that the other party is not willing to kill all the camels, and they also need camels to get out of the desert!"
"I guess so. But, how should we find them now?" Mandala said.
"Know and explore where the other party is? Is he also in the ancient city of Loulan? Is he far away from us?" Jing Jing said calmly.
"They shouldn't be too far away from us, at least they won't be within the range that we can detect, but they won't be too far away from us either. In the desert, it's extremely easy to leave footprints one by one, and they will follow our footprints.
, chasing them all the way, but we can only wait for the opportunity to recapture the camel without them realizing it." Li Ling's eyes were calm, calmly analyzing the current situation and how to act in the future.
"But! There is another huge danger, that is...if the other party waits until we are about to collapse due to lack of water and comes out to attack us, what should we do then?" Xiao Yuan was also very smart, and he instantly proposed this absolutely useful idea.
Problems that may occur.
"Even if it happens, we have no choice. We can only bet! Moreover, we will not lose because we have a perfect killing move that they will never expect!" Li Ling smiled mysteriously, then looked at Xiao Yuan and said: "Xiao Yuan
Uncle, if you rely on experience, how long can you last in the desert?" Li Ling looked at Xiao Yuandao.
Xiao Yuan knew that the burden was on him and became slightly silent, thinking.
"It's only a month and a half at most. If it exceeds a month and a half, I will collapse due to lack of physical strength or lack of nutrition. At that time, I will be unable to do anything. After all, this is Taklimakan, and there are undercurrents and sandstorms everywhere. The degree of danger is not ordinary.
The desert is comparable, and there are only a few oases that I know of?" There was no relaxed look on Xiao Yuan's face, just a long sigh.
"Without the camel, we have to rely on ourselves. We also need to carry water and food on our own, which will increase our burden." Li Ling picked up the water bag and the water bag on the expired camel.
Several bags of dried meat were carried on one's back.
Mandala grabbed the water bag in Li Ling's hand, lowered his head, looked at his toes and said: "Jun Zhi, I will carry these two water bags!"
"Okay." Li Ling smiled slightly and gave the two water bags to Mandala. Li Ling knew that Mandala was a heterogeneous human race and his physique was many times stronger than ordinary people.
Jing Jing also rushed to Li Ling's side, grabbed the bag containing the dried meat, and muttered with her withered lips, "I also want to carry a bag."
Looking at An Jing's willful behavior, Li Ling felt slightly surprised, but An Jing's expression reminded Li Ling of Xiao Yue's expression. Could this be jealousy?
"No." Li Ling didn't know how to refuse to be quiet.
"Miss Anjing, you are weak, so it's better to lighten up. Moreover, those people's targets are Miss Anjing. The most important thing for Miss Anjing is to protect herself." Mandala lowered his head to Anjing.
"It seems that in the team, I am the most useless person. I will only drag everyone down." Jing Jing is a bit depressed. All along, Jing Jing thought that he was a drag and would always bring trouble to everyone.
"No, we still need you to lead us? Without you, we would have no navigation mark." Li Ling smiled slightly and looked at An Jing with comforting eyes.
Jing Jing nodded slightly and looked towards the endless desert, quietly lost in thought.
