Chapter 601 Closer(1/2)
After a short and unnatural stop, the Aokido team set sail again, entered the depths of the Black Wind Desert, and began the most difficult part of this trip.
"Pooh!"
In the middle of a relatively large oasis, Zhao Yuanba spat out the wind and sand that was poured into the wind and the wind. Looking up, he saw a dim curtain that was connected to the sky and the earth, pressing towards them in a slow and rapid manner.
He raised his palm and leaned forward lightly, and immediately noticed a relatively obvious resistance.
“It’s really unlucky.
"Why have you encountered so many storms?"
The wind became more and more intense, and Zhao Yuanba's clothes were waving, and his hair was raised. He stood on the edge of the Baihe Chamber of Commerce team, quietly watching the sand wall approaching the oasis.
When it was about to fall in love, Zhao Yuanba took a step back and got on the carriage.
When he entered the carriage, he sat on the thick blanket at the bottom. He looked at Jiang Yan, who was closing his eyes and resting, and asked curiously:
"Why don't you go out to see this scene?
"I remember, you thought it was new a few days ago? You always look for opportunities to observe."
“That was a few days ago.”
Jiang Yan's movements did not change, and he still closed his eyes and said in a faint tone:
"How long has it been? Apart from the yellow sand or the yellow sand, it remains unchanged, what else is there to look good."
At this time, his eyes cracked and he left Zhao Yuanba:
"You are still so happy with it, it's so naive."
"I..." Zhao Yuanba was suffocated, and unexpectedly he was "despised" by the other party. He opened his mouth and was about to say something to refute.
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
Suddenly, the sound of a giant beast roaring and hissing suddenly sounded, blocking Zhao Yuanba's words and attracting all the attention of the three of them.
The storm is coming!
Countless wind and sand surged from all directions, hitting the outer wall of the car, reflecting a very dense sound of knocking echoing, clicking and clicking non-stop.
"call…"
At this time, Jiang Yan took a deep breath, and while closing his eyes again, he spread his right palm and pressed it on the side of the car he was leaning against.
Silently, the carriage they were riding was immediately stained with a layer of quite bright golden light. This layer of light slowly expanded, gradually forming a round cover, completely protecting the carriage and horses.
The roar of wind and the striking of wind and sand suddenly lost most of the traces. The remaining points made people hear them, and they no longer feel irritable, but instead seduced some sleepiness.
"Old rule, when the storm stops, Brother Zhao is responsible for digging out the carriage. Brother Miao remembers to take care of the horse..."
Jiang Yan said in a low voice, ignoring the two of them, and they completely fell asleep.
During the period when they entered the Black Wind Desert, it was not the first time they encountered a sand storm. After they got along with each other, they had already divided their labor.
...
...
One day and night after.
The oasis that was hit by a sandstorm became gray as a whole, and the lake in the center of the oasis also became dirty and no longer clear.
"There is something, should I cooperate?"
Mu Yingxue, who was wrinkled in her clothes, walked over in the dusty low grass. She first greeted Zhao Yuanba and Miao Xiaohong, and then said to Jiang Yan:
"We want to catch some wild game and enrich the recipes. How about it? Are you interested?"
When she said these words, she looked at the other person seriously, full of expectations.
“There is not enough food prepared by the Chamber of Commerce?”
Jiang Yan did not agree immediately, but looked to the front right, looking at the disciples of Qingmutang who were digging his own supplies from the thick yellow sand.
"Not really."
Mu Yingxue looked along Jiang Yan's sight and responded frankly:
"Although our chamber of commerce is not a big force, we will always make preparations that should be made so that we will not be able to leave enough food and make us hungry."
Speaking of this, she paused, her tone rose slightly, and she became disgusted:
"But in this kind of weather, even if the food is still broken, the surface layer must be covered with sand. You can definitely eat it. Wash it with water and bake it.
"only……"
Mu Yingxue pointed to the small yellow lake:
"There is also a lot of sand here, it's the same whether it's washed or not, there's not much difference."
“That’s true.”
Jiang Yan imagined the scene of himself having a bite of food and half a mouthful of yellow sand in his mind, and suddenly felt a little sore. He glanced at Zhao Yuanba and Miao Xiaohong beside him, and found that they were already moved, so he nodded slightly:
“Where do we need to go?”
"Not far, not far." Mu Yingxue saw Jiang Yan agreeing, and smiled on her face. She pointed at the surroundings casually, and said in a brisk tone:
“This sandstorm has benefits, too.
"We need to pull out one from the sand layer, and the beasts that are temporarily suppressed by the yellow sand are the same. If we are lucky, we can directly encounter those who have just dug out. If we are not lucky, we can follow the traces left by these beasts and find them accurately."
“It sounds easy.”
Jiang Yan nodded slightly, and then said to Zhao Yuanba:
"Find some firewood and keep it for a while."
After saying this, he and Mu Yingxue walked towards the other people in Baihetang.
"Why do you want me to pick up firewood?"
Zhao Yuanba looked at the two of them leaving behind and said "angrily":
"I want to go with Miss Mu, too."
He turned around and looked at Miao Xiaohong and asked back as surely:
"You think so too, right?"
"Ah? What did you say?" Miao Xiaohong looked at him in confusion, as if she didn't hear him.
"I mean..." Zhao Yuanba repeated the words just now.
"No, I don't want to." Unexpectedly, Miao Xiaohong shook her head slightly and did not keep an agreement with Zhao Yuanba:
"When you have the time to go out to hunt with a woman, it's better to study how to refine pills that can quickly find prey.
"Women, it will only affect the speed of my elixir refining."
"You're fucking..."
Zhao Yuanba was speechless.
...
...
In Mu Yingxue's group, after a not-so-old man joined the hunting team, Jiang Yan and the other two turned around and left the temporary station of Aokitang.
Standing under a small earthblock, Jiang Yan looked around:
The weeds that were relatively tall before now have only a piece of the top, floating in the wind, interacting with the yellow sand and stones next to them. At first glance, there is such a scene around them, not much difference, it is ordinary and monotonous.
"It seems that there are no beasts?"
While murmuring, Jiang Yan carefully glanced around him several times, but still did not see any traces of the beast, let alone the situation where the beast happened to emerge.
"This...this..."
Mu Yingxue didn't expect this situation either. Her eyes were confused and her little face turned red.
"Will those beasts be suffocated?"
Jiang Yan made a guess at the right time.
"No." Mu Yingxue shook her head slowly and explained:
"These beasts living in the Black Wind Desert have some ability to dig holes to survive, and they have long adapted to this place..."
She then suggested:
"Let's change the place? There may not be any beast activity here before?"
"All right."
...
...
After two incense sticks, the three returned to the team and returned to their original positions.
Jiang Yan was holding a fur in black and white, with a pair of sharp fangs in his hand. At this moment, the beast's head was shivering, and red liquid occasionally dripped from the corners of his mouth.
To be continued...
