Chapter 2376 The inexplicable howling of wolves (two chapters in one)
The huge sun hangs in the sky, spreading sunshine into the vast desert.
The gravel reflects the sunlight. Standing in the distance and looking towards the desert, you will be blinded by the reflected sunlight.
The short investigator stood at the edge of the desert, bent down, and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground.
Fine sand flowed out from the gaps between the fingertips and was blown around by the wind.
The vast desert in front of us is not an illusion, it actually exists.
As for why there was no desert here before, why such a large desert suddenly appeared, and what caused it, it is not yet known.
"What should we do now?" The short investigator threw away the fine sand in his hand and turned to look at his companion.
"I don't know if you ask me!" The tall investigator shrugged. He had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know what to do for a while.
"call……"
A gust of wind blew in the desert, carrying a lot of sand and dust flying towards where the two people were.
"Bah, bah."
When the wind and sand stopped, the two investigators became disgraced.
"We can't go back now, right?" the short man said, investigating Yun.
"Of course we can't go back. We spent several days getting here, and I'm not willing to just go back." The tall investigator said.
This special mission ends like this. Even if the hardships of the past few days are in vain, neither of them will be willing to accept it.
"Gululu..."
There was a sudden growl in the stomach. Before lunch, the two investigators discussed it and decided to find a cool place to eat something nearby.
A huge tree is like an open parasol, forming a large area of cool shade on the ground.
The two investigators were eating lunch under the cool shade of the trees, thinking about what to do next.
"I have an idea." The short investigator swallowed the food in his mouth and said.
"What do you think? Tell me quickly." the tall investigator urged.
"Through this desert."
"ah?"
"We don't know much about this desert, so we just choose to cross it. Is it too dangerous?"
"With our strength, it won't be a big problem to cross this desert."
The two investigators chatted and finally decided to cross the desert in front of them.
Fortunately, I had a space weapon this time, so food and water were not a problem. The difficulty of crossing the desert was instantly reduced a lot.
The two investigators filled their stomachs, and then they stepped into the desert and moved forward non-stop in one direction.
…………
"Roar……"
The roar of the alien beast sounded not far away. The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped when he heard the sound, and then stared at the location where the roar appeared.
"Shashasha..."
After a burst of noisy sounds, it kept getting closer.
Suddenly, a one-meter-tall rabbit jumped out of the grass, and then rushed towards the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead at extremely fast speeds.
The seemingly cute rabbit is actually very ferocious. It opens its mouth to reveal sharp fangs, and each tooth is as sharp as a dagger.
"snort."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead snorted coldly, waved the weapon in his hand, and stabbed the rabbit that was coming towards him.
"Pfft."
This alien beast was very fast. When he saw the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, he fought back and immediately dodged. However, the strength gap between the two sides was huge, so he was still injured.
"Roar……"
The alien beast roared from its mouth, and its saliva dripped onto the ground.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked up at the sun in the sky. The bright sunlight fell on his face, making it difficult to open his eyes.
"It's time for lunch too."
"Roar..." The alien beast let out a roar, and the hair on its body stood up. The surging spiritual energy fluctuations further erupted, and then disappeared in an instant.
The fight broke out suddenly and was over within a few minutes.
The heart was hit hard, and such a vital part would be unable to fight back after being hit.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, did not give the alien beast a chance to fight back, and directly destroyed his head, giving him a fatal blow.
After dealing with the alien beast, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, carried the alien beast's body to the foot of a big tree not far away.
A bonfire was lit and fresh rabbit meat was grilled on the fire.
The alluring fragrance soon filled the air, making people swallow their saliva after smelling it.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead tore off a roasted and fragrant rabbit leg and took a big bite.
"This rabbit meat is so delicious."
After feasting on lunch and filling his stomach, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead burped.
"call……"
The breeze blows and it's especially cool under the trees.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ate and drank enough and rested under the tree for a while. Then he packed up and set off again.
Time passed, an hour and a half passed. When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead climbed over a mountain and walked out through a large area of dense grass, he was immediately stunned by what he saw in front of him.
"Why is there a desert here?"
"I remember there was no desert like this when I came here!"
The chosen road had been visited before, so the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead remembered it very clearly that the desert in front of him did not exist.
The desert in the distance lies right in front of us. If we want to get around it, we don't know how long we will have to walk.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the desert in front of him and was speechless. After a while, he let out a long sigh.
"If I go into the desert alone like this, I will most likely die there.
It’s better to choose a detour! Although it will take a lot more time, it is still better than dying in the desert.”
After weighing the water capacity of the kettle, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead made the wisest choice.
Next, he couldn't stop and rest anymore, because the detour would take more time, and he would have to hurry up in the future.
Walking forward along the edge of the desert, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly disappeared into the grass.
…………
The sun in the sky moves slowly as time goes by. When the sky is about to get dark, the vast desert also begins to cool down.
"call……"
The gust of wind that had been blowing suddenly stopped, which made the two investigators breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the two investigators were wearing turbans and sunglasses, covered in dust.
The sun was shining brightly on the horizon, and most of the sky was dyed with bright colors.
The short investigator glanced at the sun in the sky and said to his companion.
"The sun is going to set soon, let's find a place to rest!"
When the tall investigator heard this, he looked around and looked at the vast desert and said.
"We still need to find a place! The terrain around here is no different."
The two investigators randomly found a place with leeward wind, and then took out tents and sleeping bags from the space artifact.
The temperature will drop a lot at night, but a tent cannot keep you warm, so you need to use a sleeping bag at this time.
After having dinner, the two investigators looked up at the night sky.
The stars filled the sky, giving people an extremely shocking feeling.
"Woo..."
The roar of an animal sounded in the distance, sounding like the howling of a wolf.
The two investigators retracted their gaze from the starry sky and looked in the direction where the howling sound of wolves appeared.
The bright full moon's splashing moonlight provided illumination for the two people, and they could clearly see the situation several kilometers away.
No trace of the animal was found within the range visible to the naked eye, but the sound could reach the ears, so the distance to the other party was not too far away.
"You need to rest first. I'll call you if something happens," the tall investigator said.
"Okay." The short investigator nodded and got into the tent.
The two of them took turns to rest as usual. Although the desert was full of yellow sand, there was still a lot of wood that could be picked up. It must have been washed into the desert during floods.
…………
There is a bonfire burning under a big tree.
The blazing flames were swayed by the breeze, and the figure sitting in front of the campfire added some wood to the fire.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead originally wanted to find a cave to spend the night, but there was no cave nearby, so he had no choice but to raise a bonfire under a big tree to spend the night.
The big tree behind is very thick, and there are many dense bushes growing around it, so the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead now raises a bonfire, and he will not feel cold when he rests at night.
"call……"
The wind blew stronger and stronger at night, and the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood up and looked into the distance.
When he saw that there were no dark clouds on the horizon, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If you spend the night in the open air, you are afraid of rainy days.
As long as it doesn't rain, everything will be fine.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead sat down again, took out a few wild fruits from his backpack and ate them slowly.
In the distance is the endless desert. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead spent the night here, and he could still hear the howling of wolves coming from the desert.
As for whether the creatures in the desert would attack, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was a little worried, but he wasn't worried much.
Since we chose to walk around the desert, we would have to go faster next time.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead ate the wild fruits, then added some more wood to the bonfire, then lay down and closed his eyes to rest.
Going out alone to perform tasks and not being able to fall asleep completely during rest is a huge disadvantage.
There is currently no solution except to get the body used to this routine as soon as possible.
"Woo..."
The howls of wolves in the desert didn't stop all night long, and I don't know why these creatures are so energetic.
The stars all over the sky are twinkling, very beautiful.
The bright moon in the distance sprinkles silver-white moonlight on the earth. Some creatures that come out to look for food at night use the moonlight to illuminate them and hide in the dark, waiting for the arrival of prey.
"Um?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead suddenly opened his eyes, then he sat up and looked towards a place in the distance.
There is no wind now, the surroundings are quiet, the chirping of insects comes from the grass, and the movement in the distance is particularly obvious.
"There is a situation."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead narrowed his eyes and activated his mental perception. His mental power, like a spider web, quickly spread out and carefully explored the place where the noise occurred.
"It's psychic energy fluctuations."
When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead noticed psychic energy fluctuations in front of him, he immediately took the weapon next to him and prepared to fight.
A bonfire not far away made a crackling sound, and the atmosphere at the scene became a little solemn in an instant.
Being attacked by strange beasts at night is not as easy to deal with as it is during the day.
After all, the eyes of strange animals that come out at night are not affected by the darkness of the night.
So once the battle begins, even if the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is stronger, it will not be easy to deal with him at first.
"Why haven't you come over yet?"
Under the perception of the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, the alien beast in the distance remained motionless.
Based on past experience, after an alien animal discovers its prey, it will quickly approach it and then look for opportunities to launch a sneak attack.
And this time of finding opportunities often doesn't last long, but now the alien beasts are far away and immobile. This is the first time that the pig-headed captain has such a patient alien beast with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
meet.
"call……"
The previous calmness disappeared, and gusts of wind began to blow, becoming more and more fierce.
The bonfire next to the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was constantly swaying by the wind, and some wood actually rolled out of the bonfire.
If you don't take care of it at this time, it may cause a fire.
Because on the edge of the desert, many places are actually quite dry, with a lot of dry weeds.
Once a fire is caused, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead is trapped in it. Even if he is strong enough, he will be in danger.
Hurry to the bonfire, pick up the burning wood that rolled out and throw it back into the bonfire.
"Why did that strange beast leave?"
In the mental perception of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, the source of the psychic energy fluctuations began to move away quickly, which made him confused.
The alien beasts left and there was no need to fight, which was a good thing for the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
Therefore, he didn't think too much, returned to the original resting place, put the weapon beside him, and continued to rest.
"Woo..."
The howling of wolves in the desert continues. Several hours have passed since the sun went down, and the howling of wolves in the desert has not stopped.
Sometimes, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead couldn't help but wonder, aren't these guys who are constantly screaming thirsty?
There is a lack of water in the desert. Once thirsty, it will be life-threatening. So what is the reason for such continuous howling?
