It is not uncommon to encounter sandstorms in the desert, but this time, we encountered a tornado that was even more frightening than a sandstorm.
Not far away, countless tornadoes soared into the sky. Wherever they passed, sand and rocks flew into the sky, and the sound of wind and ghosts roared.
At this time, I heard uneasy exclamations, but I saw that the camel Bai Yu was sitting on was surprised, and he ran towards the tornado in front of him.
Although camels usually walk carelessly, when they really start running, their speed is not slow at all.
Bai Yu was so frightened that her face turned pale. No matter how hard she grabbed the rope, the camel rushed towards the tornado like crazy.
My heart skipped a beat. The tornado was so big. Running towards it was undoubtedly asking for death.
I raised my eyebrows, quickly jumped on my camel, slapped the camel's hump, and immediately chased Bai Yu.
But seeing the tornado getting closer and closer, the camel Bai Yu sat on became faster and faster. At this speed, I simply couldn't catch up.
At the critical moment, I heard someone calling me from behind.
"Boss, go ride this one, it won't let you down."
When I turned around, I found that Lao Muti had already caught up with me on his yellow-haired camel.
My heart moved. This yellow-haired camel may not look very skinny, but it can run much faster than I can ride it.
I didn't hesitate and quickly switched camels with Lao Muti.
As soon as I rode on the yellow-haired camel, I suddenly felt that although this guy's frame was very big, it was covered with a layer of strong muscles. When it ran, it felt like a wild horse...
Ten seconds later, the fast yellow camel had caught up with Bai Yu.
"Hurry up and jump over here." I shouted to Bai Yu.
At this time, the tornado was less than a hundred meters away from us, and its destructive power was astonishing. It was like a moving hill. Everything it passed was swallowed up into the eye of the wind.
Bai Yu was frightened and turned pale, but the camel ran so fast that she didn't dare to jump over.
"Mr. Chen, I don't dare to jump..." Bai Yu said desperately.
I glanced at the tornado that was less than forty or fifty meters away, and my heart sank!
No time!!
Without hesitation, I jumped towards Bai Yu's camel, then stabbed my finger into its neck. After taking advantage of the pain, it slowed down a bit, I hugged Bai Yu and jumped back onto the yellow-haired camel.
"Hold the hump and don't let go!"
The yellow-haired camel was very smart. It kept a constant speed at first, but as soon as Bai Yu and I climbed up the hump, it immediately changed its direction and ran back.
At this time, behind us, the tornado was already very close to me and Bai Yu.
In less than two or three seconds, Bai Yu's original camel plunged into the tornado and was quickly swept into the eye of the wind. Then it was torn into pieces by the violent wind and turned into a rain of flesh and blood scattered all over the sky.
Come down.
This is the power of a tornado. A camel weighing over a thousand kilograms would be broken into pieces in less than a breath. If a living person were to go in, not even a single bone would be left.
The tornado was still chasing behind us, and I could even feel the pain of the sand hitting my body violently, just like being cut with a knife. The pain was so painful that I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Yellow-haired camel, run faster!" I just shouted, without even having to pat the hump, the yellow-haired camel ran out of the edge of the tornado with its hooves flying like flying...
A few seconds later, I glanced at the tornado that was gradually getting farther away outside, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at Bai Yu sitting in front of me, he was already paralyzed with fear. He fell softly into my arms, with a trace of tears on his delicate little face.
I patted her shoulder and said: "The tornado is behind us, we are safe."
Bai Yu turned around, put his head directly into my arms, and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you."
"It's okay, just be safe."
Bai Yu nodded, and when she broke away from my arms again, her face turned red...
After a while, I drove the yellow camel to join Zhou Xiaoshe and the others. This time the tornado came and dispersed quickly. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
Lao Muti and Batur kowtowed respectfully in the direction where the tornado dispersed.
I patted the yellow-haired camel, and it was really thanks to it just now.
"Old Niu, get some dried beans and water for it to eat. Lao Muti has a good eye and picked a good camel for us," I said.
Zhou Xiaoshe also looked at Lao Muti and the yellow-haired camel with admiration. Before, he thought it was a loss-making business for Lao Muti to rent the yellow-haired camel for five thousand yuan. Now he wants to buy it for one hundred thousand yuan.
I called Lao Muti over and thanked him sincerely.
Lao Muti waved his hand, his face was slightly red, but he was a little cautious.
"Boss, I want to ask, are you really just looking for the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom?" Lao Muti suddenly said.
I was stunned for a moment. Before this, Zhou Xiaoshe and I had told Lao Muti that we were travel companions from out of town. This time we came to Lop Nur to look for the ruins of the ancient Loulan country, but we had not heard anything about the Pisces Jade Pendant from him.
But now, Lao Muti seems to have some doubts about the intentions of our trip.
He said: "Boss, you have also seen the tornado just now. It is the curse of Lop Nur. Anyone who comes to Lop Nur with any agenda will suffer the wrath of the Lop Nur goddess. Therefore, if you have any intentions, it is best to
Give up the idea."
I handed a pack of cigarettes to Lao Muti, then I took out one and lit it myself. I slowly took a few puffs and said, "To tell you the truth, we came to Lop Nur this time to find something."
"Looking for something? Lop Nur is so big, what is there to find?" Lao Muti said while he was busy puffing away the clouds.
"You are from Lop Nur. You should have heard of the Pisces Jade Pendant, right?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Lao Muti's expression suddenly froze, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground silently.
"Old...boss, did I hear you correctly? Are you here to find the Pisces Jade Pendant?"
I nodded.
Lao Muti opened his mouth wide, and without much hesitation, he led the yellow-haired camel and turned around and left.
"Boss, I won't take this job anymore. You should find someone else..."
Lao Muti wanted to run, but was stopped by Niu Jianguo and Qin Shisan.
I smiled bitterly and said, "I'm looking for the ruins of the ancient Loulan country, and I'm also looking for the Pisces jade pendant. If it doesn't work, I'll give you an extra salary."
"Boss, this is not a matter of money. We Lop Nur people have faith and dignity..."
"I'll give you an extra ten thousand yuan." I said calmly.
Lao Muti rolled his eyes and said, "Boss, do you think I, Lao Muti, am the kind of person who is blind to money?"
"Add twenty thousand..."
"Boss, the whole Lop Nur town knows my character, Lao Muti..."
"Add thirty thousand."
The corner of Lao Muti's mouth twitched, and he suddenly grinned with big yellow teeth and said with a smile: "Boss, congratulations on getting rich. I, Lao Muti, will be yours from now on..."
