About two hours later, when the sky was almost completely dark, a white figure finally appeared on the southern horizon.
The dust behind him was flying, and he seemed to be running towards here with all his strength...
"Hey! You guys! Hurry and hide in the water!" Before Art could see his face clearly, a loud roar reached his ears.
"What, what's wrong?!" The father and son who were having a heart-to-heart talk under a tree not far away also heard this reminder. Although they didn't know what was going on, they still did it.
As for Art, he was right by the water anyway, so he just had to take two steps forward.
"It seems that he must have caused trouble." Art looked at the increasingly clear figure of Art and the hundreds of moving mounds behind him, and he knew what happened without even thinking about it.
"Oh my god..." As Ravens gradually got closer, Nam, who had poor eyesight, seemed to finally notice the sandworms that were moving forward with sparks and lightning. The atmosphere of these sandworms seemed not right.
, there is a feeling that Ravens is bound to be eaten alive. I don’t know if this small pond can continue to protect itself in this situation.
Not long after, Ravens noticed that he brought an army of sandworms to the pond. With the sound of water splashing, Ravens jumped into the water, and the sandworms noticed that Ravens disappeared and
Instead of leaving directly like before, he began to wander around the small oasis.
"You guy, how do we leave?" Uncle Nim pointed at Ravens who was about to climb ashore and cursed.
Although I was severely humiliated by Art before, I am worthy of being an adult, especially a homeless man who is used to a miserable life. His mental state will recover quickly, but I hope they have not completely returned to their previous state.
.
"Hey, why are you so anxious?" Ravens patted his clothes nonchalantly. His leather outfit seemed to have the property of not absorbing water. He patted it twice and all the water was shaken off.
"As long as you spend one night here, these beasts with no more than three hours of memory will forget all about it." Ravens walked to the place where he had been warming up the fire, threw the magic stone away, and the fire was rekindled.
Got up.
"I don't know about Art, but you two tramps are the same everywhere, so why bother about this one night." Ravens quickly set up the pot again, and then silently raised his head from behind.
He took out several oval-shaped eggs from his small bag that were larger than his fist.
"Oh, sure enough one of them was broken... Hey! Little Art, do you want to taste the sandworm eggs?" Ravens murmured in a low voice before summoning Art to his side.
.
"Is this a sandworm egg? It doesn't look strange." Art picked up one and examined it carefully.
Ravens obtained a total of six sandworm eggs during this trip, but one of them was broken and is now being cracked open by Ravens to make an omelette.
The shell of sandworm eggs is relatively soft and oval-shaped. It is indeed very similar to snake eggs. And judging from the appearance in the pot, it also has egg yolk and egg white. I don’t know how to eat it... Stop it, you can’t eat it. This bite
The pot cannot be trusted at all.
"Uh, um, Ravens." Old Man Nahm glanced at the piece of fried egg, paused and said, "When you dived, did you see any fish in the water?"
"Fish? Ah, there are quite a lot of them, but they are quite afraid of people." Ravens responded while holding a wooden stick to gently pry the fried eggs, "What's the matter? You want to fish? Let's have some fried eggs."
Egg."
"No, no, I'd better do it by myself. Just do it by yourself." Uncle Nim quickly agreed, fearing that Ravens would force a piece of it on them.
"...That's really weird. Hey, I have a fishing rod here for you to use." Ravens took out a telescopic fishing rod from his waist and handed it to Nim.
"Wow, uh, thank you." This kind of telescopic fishing rod is obviously not common, but as a civilian item, it is not difficult to operate. Although Nim got it with a confused look, it was easy after that.
After some operations, it was barely usable.
Old Man Nam seems to have some fishing skills, and there are indeed a lot of fish in the pond here. After a while, he caught a lot of fish. Although these fish are not big, there are a lot of them.
Between grilled fish and fried eggs, Art chose grilled fish without hesitation.
After eating and drinking, Ravens was worthy of being a demon hunter. He had a lot of magic stones in reserve. After throwing a few stones into the fire pit, the fire would burn all night long.
Although the night in the desert was very cold, fortunately there was a fire and a few trees to block the wind and sand, so it was not too uncomfortable to sleep. Soon, with Ravens keeping vigil, the few of them fell asleep peacefully.
.
Because he had been running around all day today and had seen all kinds of novel things, Art's young body could not sustain the energy consumption well. The exhausted Art had no dreams all night, and morning soon came.
After getting up in the morning, I ate some leftover grilled fish from last night, then started packing my things and getting ready to leave.
"Hey, Wei Ma, are you still alive?" Art walked to the puppet Wei Ma who was still lying on the ground and asked tentatively.
"Yes." Wei Ma's voice, which was not very clear at first, became softer after a night of consumption. If you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear it clearly.
I don’t know if it’s possible to repair a broken doll like this.
"We have obtained the sandworm eggs, so please stay alive now, otherwise it will be difficult for us." Art gently poked Weiman's face, which was still intact.
It is indeed a black technology from another world. The touch of this kind of doll is the same as that of a real human being, and even has a slight warmth.
"Thank you." After a word came from Wei Ma's throat, she stopped talking. Maybe for her, as long as she completed this matter, she would have no regrets.
"This doll," Ravens glanced at the doll with only half its body left, and said, "it's quite heavy. Let me carry it. You two can just take Art."
After that, it was the familiar plan again, with Velma tied to Ravens, and Nim and Namu dragging Art, quickly across the sand island and back to the town.
"You two go to the wall and wait for me first. Ravens and I will go to the baron first." After crossing the bridge, Art patted the sand dust on his body. Fortunately, this suit has good sealing properties.
After dragging it all the way down, no sand got into my clothes.
"...Okay, if we are not there, you can come back later." Uncle Nim hesitated for a moment before saying.
"What's wrong? Are you going to do something?" Art tilted his head and looked at the two slightly ashamed homeless men with interest.
"Well, you are right what you said before. I can indeed go to the bakery to try my luck shamelessly. I remember that they should be recruiting people there." Uncle Nim touched his messy head and said, "But I still
I have to take a good bath and then find a way to get some clothes that look good."
"Me too, old man, I can still do well in fishing and so on." Old Man Nahm slowly moved his eyes to Ravens.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you." Ravens, who felt numb in his heart, quickly handed the fishing rod to Nam, but before handing it over, he said: "But next time I come over, remember to give it to you."
I have some fresh fish!”
"Of course, of course, hehe." Nam took the fishing rod and nodded with a smile.
