"Young Master, spare your life!" The man nicknamed Sand Scorpion saw Tangning looking at him, his body immediately trembled, and he said, "Young master, you are too young to see Taishan. Please let us go..."
"Let you go?" Tangning gave him a cold look and said, "You were not going to let us go just now..."
Sand Scorpion's heart skipped a beat, and before he could speak again, those who had fallen off their horses and temporarily recovered their sight had already rushed towards the old beggar, Tang Yaoyao and others.
No matter how you look at it, these two pretty girls and the old guys on the horse look much easier to bully than the guy with the butcher knife.
As long as we control them, even if we can't kill this big fat sheep today, we can always escape safely.
"Little..." Bahar's expression changed, and he was about to give a warning when he suddenly saw Sand Scorpion's men falling to the ground one by one as they rushed towards the camel, their faces turning blue, foaming at the mouth, and their bodies still
In unconscious twitching...
"Heart……"
"Be careful" came out of his mouth. Looking at the people lying on the hot sand, their bodies twitching, Bahar felt that the sun above his head was no longer so hot, and a chill rushed from his tailbone to the back of his head.
The six elders of Wan Gu Sect got off their camels, and centipedes, scorpions and other poisonous insects quickly crawled out from the bodies of the thirty or so people. They disappeared after crawling to the feet of several elders.
Bahar hugged the camel's legs and stared at this scene in a daze, his mind going pale.
Until this moment, he didn't know why these people didn't need to bring guards when they came out.
The butcher with the butcher's knife could knock down all the Sand Scorpion's men with a handful of sand. Those old men who looked like they had one foot in the coffin could actually command poisonous insects such as centipedes and scorpions to bite people...
What the hell are these monsters?
When Tang Ning walked towards Sand Scorpion, this well-known bully in Shazhou City had turned pale and slumped down on the hot sand. He backed away and shouted loudly: "Don't come here, don't come here!"
The subordinates didn't even touch the corners of those people's clothes, and fell to the ground unconscious one by one. These fat sheep in his eyes have long since turned into Yama who is seeking life.
Tangning looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "Don't be afraid, how about we discuss something..."
…
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. During the hottest time during the day, the ground temperature can reach 60 degrees, but at night it can drop below 10 degrees. Therefore, tents and bedding must be prepared.
Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao made a small bonfire and were roasting a leg of lamb. The fat made a "sizzling" sound as it was roasted by the flames. After the seasonings were sprinkled on it, the aroma wafted far away.
.
Sand Scorpion took a few strong breaths of the aroma of roasted lamb legs, took a bite of dry food, kicked one of his men on the butt, and said: "Move quickly, don't you see it's getting dark!"
Tang Ning divided the roasted lamb leg between Tang Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao, then took out another leg and roasted it.
Bahar's initial suggestion was correct. It would be beneficial to bring a few followers to protect him. At least he wouldn't have to do hard work like setting up a tent himself.
The old beggar would not do such a thing. It was a bit inappropriate to let the distinguished elder of Wan Gu Sect set up tents, and it seemed a bit disrespectful to the old man. Old Zheng didn't mind it, and just asked him to set up ten tents by himself.
, I’m afraid the ride will have to wait until tomorrow.
Tang Ning only left ten of Sand Scorpion's thirty men. Although Tang Ning disdained using poison to control others, he still had targets to deal with, and to deal with these villains, he had to fight evil with evil.
After experiencing the feeling of dying and dying, Sand Scorpion and their subordinates became more honest and took the initiative to take on the work of exploring the road and setting up tents.
The only bad thing is that one more person and one more mouth, but fortunately Bahar originally prepared food and water for a small caravan of dozens of people, which was enough for them to last in the desert for more than a month, and according to Bahar
He said that he was very familiar with the locations of the small countries in the desert, which was enough for them to rush to those small countries to replenish food and water before they ran out.
Bahar stood behind Sand Scorpion, holding a piece of mutton leg in his hand and chewing on it.
The difference between him and Sha Xie and others is that he is an interpreter, not a slave. People like Sha Xie can only eat dry food and eat sour and astringent wolf meat, but he is qualified to eat the mutton roasted by Tang Ning himself.
He originally thought about escaping, but after seeing the scene where Sand Scorpion's men had convulsions during the day, he immediately gave up the idea.
This group of people were all monsters. Along the way, he found that the old people, who looked like they were about to put one foot in the coffin, had better physical strength than them. Even he could not bear the journey for a day, but they couldn't stand it.
Still in high spirits.
What's even more frightening is that these people can also drive poisonous insects in the desert. When they go into the desert on weekdays, they have to be careful of poisonous snakes and scorpions. Since he saw scorpions and poisonous snakes in the desert several times, he also saw those old guys.
After wanting to walk around, he deliberately placed the tent around them to avoid being visited by poisonous insects while sleeping at night.
The bugs in the desert are very poisonous. If you are bitten by them, your life may be decided here.
There is also the butcher who never leaves his side. He is simply a beast. On the first night they set up camp, they encountered a pack of wolves. There were more than a dozen wolves. Even if they encountered a small caravan, they had to be treated with caution, but Bahar only
Seeing him rushing into the pack of wolves alone, he raised his knife and dropped it, just like chopping melons and vegetables. In the blink of an eye, he had opened the heads of more than a dozen wolves. Those wolves originally wanted to treat them as food.
In the end, it became their food. What Sand Scorpion and others eat these days is wolf leg meat.
Sand Scorpion looked at the mutton in Bahar's hand, licked his dry lips, and said, "Brother Bahar, give me a bite..."
Bahar glanced at him and said, "One tael of silver."
Sand Scorpion was furious when he heard this and said: "One tael of silver can buy a sheep!"
Bahar rolled his eyes at him and said, "Whether you want to eat or not..."
Sha Xie said: "I don't have any money."
Bahar's eyes glanced back and forth at a dagger on Sand Scorpion's waist, and said: "I can exchange it for something on your body."
Sand Scorpion said angrily: "Don't go too far!"
Bahar snorted coldly and said: "If you understand your own identity, do you think you are still a Sand Scorpion in Shazhou City?"
Sha Xie's chest rose and fell a few times, but finally calmed down, and he said with a smile: "Brother Ba, don't be so stingy. In the worst case, when you return to Shazhou, I will protect you..."
"No need to convert!" Bahar snorted coldly. After finishing this job, he no longer had to stay in Shazhou. One thousand taels of silver was enough for him to live happily in any city in Chen State.
Sand Scorpion looked at him, snorted coldly, and said: "This dagger is worth at least ten taels of silver. If you want to exchange it for mutton, you are dreaming!"
…
After a while, Bahar played with the delicate dagger in his hand. When he saw Tangning approaching, a smile appeared on his face and asked, "Sir, do you want to see me for anything?"
Tangning looked at him and asked, "Which country did you say you are going to tomorrow?"
"Shan Huan Kingdom." Bahar said with a smile: "Shan Huan Kingdom is the smallest country in the Western Region. Counting the king and ministers, there are only more than a hundred people. We can go there tomorrow to replenish some food and water...
"
Tangning was a little confused and asked, "Such a small country has not been annexed?"
Bahar smiled and said: "You don't know something. Although Shanhuan is small, it is also one of the countries recognized by the countries in the Western Regions. Except for Xiaowan, the countries in the Western Regions generally do not annex each other.
Moreover, Shan Huan State is too small and very close to Chen State. Who is willing to annex a country with a hundred people? If they are misunderstood by Chen State's army, wouldn't they be in big trouble..."
Tang Ning finally understood. To put it bluntly, Shan Huanguo was too weak to be taken seriously by the big countries, so launching a war against them would not be worth the gain.
These countries in the Western Regions are very strange. They only recognize those countries with historical heritage. Otherwise, even the most powerful forces are just horse thieves in their eyes. However, as long as they have historical heritage, a tribe like Shan Huan with only a hundred people
, can also be called a country.
Tangning glanced at Bahar with satisfaction. Along the way, they didn't encounter a wave of horse thieves because of Bahar's relationship. The campsites they found were also in a very suitable location. This thousand taels of silver was spent.
not worth.
In addition to replenishing food and water in Shan Hengguo tomorrow, they can also take a short rest there. It is not easy to encounter a city in the desert. Tang Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao have been on the road for several days. Although their bodies can still hold on, they feel sad in their hearts.
I'm afraid she was already exhausted. Even Tang Ning, who looked at the endless yellow sand every day, wanted to see something different.
Early the next morning, they packed up their tents and set off again.
After walking in a certain direction for about an hour, Bahar rode on a camel, pointed to the sand dunes in front of him, and said: "Sir, if you climb over this sand dune, you will see Shan Huan Kingdom in front of you..."
Tang Ning was about to drive the camels over the sand dunes when she noticed something strange about Lao Zheng. She turned to look at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lao Zheng rode on the camel, sniffed, looked behind the sand dunes, and said: "There is blood..."
