Walking in the desert makes you realize how rich it is to sail on the sea. When you are at sea, you can still see the beautiful scenery and study the fish. Although it is boring, you can persevere.
Now there is yellow sand as far as the eye can see, not even a tree can be seen, let alone a shady place, everything is forbidden, it seems that they are the only ones left in the world.
The water source is sufficient, and even if you spend a lot of money, you can last for a few days. However, in such an environment, people feel thirsty from the bottom of their hearts, even if they drink water all the time, it will not help.
We landed in the early morning and except for a break at noon, we were on the road the rest of the time. No one wanted to stay in this desert for a longer time.
Xiaobai felt that his feet were no longer his own, and his whole body seemed to be on fire, almost smoking, and his body was slippery. This was the result of the sweat evaporating, leaving behind salt particles that were then melted by the sweat.
He was still wearing a leather jacket, and it felt so sour that he didn't dare to take it off yet. The consequences would be even more serious if he took it off. Although it would cool him down for a while, it would be followed by exposure to the sun, and his skin would definitely become dry and cracked.
, so no matter how hot it is, Xiaobai doesn’t dare to take off his leather jacket.
As we walked into the dark night, the temperature dropped, it was a bit cold, it was like a world of ice and fire.
The sailors couldn't bear it anymore and sat down to eat dried fish. They didn't dare to light a fire for fear of danger in the desert.
Xiaobai casually took a few bites, then turned to look at Takumi who was standing on the sand dune overlooking the distance. He stood up and walked over with a piece of dried fish.
"How far is it?" Xiaobai handed the dried fish to Takumi.
Takumi casually took the dried fish and stuffed it in his mouth, pointing to the distance: "It's not far away. If your eyesight is good enough, you should be able to see it."
Um?
After hearing Takumi's words, Xiaobai stretched his neck and squinted his eyes to look into the distance.
Near the horizon, there seemed to be something vaguely rising into the sky.
"Smoke!" Xiaobai suddenly realized that if he hadn't stood on the dune and looked out, he really wouldn't have been able to see the vaguely rising smoke.
There is smoke in the desert, what does that mean? Man, there are people there!
That was the destination of their trip.
"Get ready, it will be fun tonight." Takumi smiled at Xiaobai and walked down the sand dune with the dried fish in his mouth.
"Well, I agree with this." Xiaobai also smiled, showing a bloodthirsty smile. He was now basically sure that the desert under his feet should be the new continent he was looking for. It was just right to continue this plunder to learn more about it.
film world.
Takumi walked down the sand dune, and after a while he became restless. The sailors rushed up the sand dune with a roar, looking into the distance with excited faces.
After resting for a while, the group set off.
"There are only about ten of us, how can we still plunder?" Xiaobai looked at the disheveled but enthusiastic sailor behind him and couldn't help but ask Hei Jiaoya.
"Enough, enough. How many more people are needed to deal with the guys in the desert ahead? We are enough." Hei Jiaoya laughed strangely, stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, saying nonchalantly.
The Scandinavian people are inherently arrogant. Living at sea all year round has developed their character of fearlessness. Even if they face enemies that are ten times more numerous, they still dare to scream and rush forward to start a fight. They are not timid at all.
Death is a common thing for people living in the ocean. There are far more dangers at sea than on land.
With the goal in mind, the sailors' progress suddenly accelerated. They didn't want to wait any longer. They were going to gain something tonight.
The goal in the eyes of the sailors was a small village built in an oasis. When the sailors arrived, it was completely dark.
The people in the village were already asleep, and there were only a few bonfires.
"I didn't see any soldiers." Hei Jiaoya ran to the edge of the oasis to explore, and then came back and said to Takumi.
"Everything is ready." Takumi nodded and whispered to the sailors: "We will make a surprise attack when we get to the edge of the oasis and leave."
The sailors consciously divided into three teams and quickly approached the oasis.
Xiaobai, Kaihai, Hei Jiaoya and Takumi formed a team, bent down and lowered their bodies, and ran quickly towards the oasis, with only a slight rustling sound under their feet.
The vigilance of people in the desert is really low, as if they are completely unaware of the danger. Unlike Xiaobai's continent, even the smallest tribes on his continent know to keep people on guard at night, just in case, but
This village has no such awareness at all.
Arriving at the edge of the oasis, the four people spread out again and hid behind the trees.
Xiaobai poked his head out and looked at the village. The first thing he saw was a small waterhole, surrounded by stones. It looked very precious. The houses were made of adobe and were built around the waterhole. They were shabby and shabby. The doors of the houses were hung with
The pole is covered with a curtain.
This oasis is not big, but there are a few trees, providing shade and summer heat for the people in the village.
Takumi looked around and took out his own sword. Xiaobai and the other three people also quietly took out their weapons.
"Come on!" Takumi took a deep breath, turned around and reached out from behind the tree.
The little white cat crouched and followed Takumi closely, sneaking towards the village.
At the same time, the sailors from the other two directions also moved, and they quickly but silently moved towards the village.
They have a small number and try to carry out sneak attacks as much as possible. Especially now that it is late at night and everyone in the village is asleep, which provides them with more conveniences, it is simply the best time for a sneak attack.
The distance from the edge of the oasis to the first house is not far, and the four novices were able to reach it within a few steps.
Wood is a high-end commodity in the desert. The owner of the adobe house is probably not a rich man. His house does not have a wooden door, and there is a linen-like curtain at the door.
Hei Jiaoya carefully lifted the curtain, looked inside, listened attentively, and nodded towards Takumi.
Takumi tightened the thorn in his hand and got in along the curtain opened by Heijiaoya, Xiaobai followed closely.
Kaihai also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Heijiaoya with a row of thorns. He shook his head slightly at him, pointed at his eyes, and then pointed at the surroundings, meaning: Don't go, be on guard with you and me.
.
After entering the adobe house, Xiao Bai looked around in the dark. The interior of the house was extremely simple, with a bed, a stone table, two stones for sitting, and the rest was just debris piled in the corner.
.
Takumi had already touched the bedside, and when he saw Xiaobai standing there without moving, he waved to him.
Xiaobai stopped thinking wildly and walked to Takumi's side in the dark.
There was a man sleeping on the bed, snoring loudly and defenseless.
Takumi nodded to Xiaobai, carefully placed the thorn on the ground, stretched out his hands, and fiercely covered the man's mouth and nose.
"Well..." The man woke up instantly, staring at a pair of panicked eyes and about to struggle.
Xiao Bai waved the one-handed ax indifferently and slashed at the man's neck. (To be continued)
