The mercenaries all regained their vitality at this moment. They shouted joyfully and rushed towards the Life Continent ahead. Some even burst out a burst of fighting energy in their legs to speed up their forward running.
There was no expression on the black captain's face. Even when he saw the oasis in front of him, he showed no excitement. He led the two oldest camels in the team and moved forward steadily and slowly. The hundreds of camels behind him also followed this calmly.
The guy walked forward slowly.
Finally, a young mercenary who was the fastest runner rushed to the edge of the oasis. He staggered and fell to the ground. He didn't bother to get up, and just crawled forward on the ground for a short distance.
"Hahahahaha..."
The young mercenary burst out laughing wildly. He rolled over and lay on the ground, holding a handful of fresh grass with moist soil dripping from the roots in his raised hands.
Seeing this, the other mercenaries rushed forward even more crazily. When everyone stepped onto a piece of wet and sticky land, they all lay down and rolled in the grass without caring about their appearance. Some people had already knelt down in excitement.
, close your eyes and pray to thank the totem of your faith for the good luck.
On the sandy slope not far away, when the black captain saw these mercenaries who were carried away with joy, his usually steady steps actually moved to an urgent rhythm. The camels behind him were disrupted in their steps and neighed in a low voice with dissatisfaction.
But then the lush greenery that came into view made the animals walking heavily in the desert feel ecstatic, and they took even bigger steps.
The black captain touched his bald head, with a rare expression of excitement on his face. He had been walking in the center of the desert for nearly half a month, during which time he had seen many large or small oases and populated areas, but without exception
The entire land was an illusory desert mirage. Now that we have finally passed the test of the devil and arrived at the real destination, how can we not be overjoyed?
There is never a shortage of oases in the desert. In some places, large or small underground rivers will appear due to special geographical conditions and natural environment. These underground rivers are the heart of the oasis, supporting the growth and life of plants on the ground.
However, as time goes by, various weather conditions and the surrounding environment gradually change, the underground river will gradually dry up, and the oasis will be buried again by the yellow sand.
Oasis is just a name, a name that is not worthy of the name. It is a beautiful wish and a spiritual motivation for people who have been walking in the desert for a long time to encourage and support each other. In fact, oasis is not green.
An oasis is just a small place that accidentally appears in the endless sea of sand. There are some yellow-brown or dark blue hard plants growing on the ground in this place. These plants are sparsely distributed and grow according to the flow of underground rivers.
It becomes a winding and extremely short road.
But no matter what, as long as there are plants growing, you can dig down to find moist sand. If you are lucky, put the moist sand into your clothes and twist it vigorously, and you may get a few drops of life-saving turbid water.
This is the true face of a desert oasis.
But the oasis that the mercenaries came to was completely different. Only this could be called a real oasis.
As far as the eye can see, there is a dense green field of dandelions. The leaves of these drought-resistant plants grow close to the ground. A green stem stands up in the center of the leaves, and a small white ball is tremblingly attached to the top of the green stem.
, there was a constant breeze blowing, and the ball split into countless small white umbrellas flying all over the sky, landing on the mercenaries' hair and between their temples.
A strange thing happened. These elves full of vitality only flew above the green ground, as if they were imprisoned by a strange curse. Once they flew near the desert, they would completely disappear, as if they had never existed.
, the mercenaries who discovered this scene were very surprised. After the blind surprise, the mercenaries regained their alertness. They had to be alert in such a strange place. No one needed to direct them. The mercenaries acted automatically and consciously.
They were divided into twenty ten-person groups and searched radially around.
The results of the search are surprising. There is no excessive area between the desert and the oasis. The first step is still vast yellow sand, and the next step can directly step into a green space. There is a clear dividing line between the two, and the yellow sand cannot invade.
Come, the green space will not be expanded.
On the other side of the grassland is a lake.
It is impossible to imagine that there would be such a big lake in the center of the sand sea. It is endless as far as the eye can see. The lake is terrifyingly calm. Although the wind blows, the surface of the lake is as motionless as a mirror, without even a ripple.
"Oh my God!"
Someone screamed, and the mercenaries followed his example and looked above the lake. It was noon at this time. Just before entering the oasis, the mercenaries were extremely scorched by the blazing sun, but there were clearly hanging stars above the lake.
A light yellow crescent moon.
The buzzing sound of Amos' Ball reached the ears of everyone in the square, and the scene in the space above changed again.
It seems that it is already night, and the crescent moon above the lake has completely turned into a full moon. The bright and soft moonlight is projected on the surface of the blue lake, reflecting countless cold rays around it.
I don’t know why, but the camels were not led into the oasis, and they did not complain. They lay quietly in the outer desert and leaned against each other to keep each other warm. They resisted the cold and dry desert nights with huge temperature differences between day and night, and chewed in their mouths.
The mercenaries fed them hay and salt.
The mercenaries, led by the black captain, lay on the grass and looked around nervously. They were gathered together in a circle, with a pile of skin bags as high as a hill in the center. Each mercenary held a seven-seven gun in his hand.
A foot-long hollow iron pipe, with a bundle on the back wrapped in tanned cooked cowhide. The iron pipe is about the thickness of a baby's wrist. The thick wall of the pipe is very strong. The front end is in the shape of a sharp acute angle. There are only two small sections on the pipe body.
Except for the smooth part where you hold it with your hands, the rest of the place is covered with sharp barbs.
Thousands of water bladders made of leather were also thrown into the shallow water area of the lake close to the grassland. These water bladders were carried by the camels of the brigade with great effort. The stoppers of the water bladders had all been opened, and they were just used by the mercenaries.
Throwing them randomly in the shallow water and on the grass, there is a viscous liquid constantly flowing out of each water bag, and the air is filled with a disgusting and thick smell of blood. It is not blood, but the blood after the blood has deteriorated.
A fishy, rotten smell.
It was extremely quiet, and the mercenaries even controlled their breathing to be leisurely and long, as if they were nervously waiting for something.
The smell of blood in the air became thicker and thicker, and the thick blood began to spread into the depths of the lake. There seemed to be some movement on the lake surface. The black captain lay in the grass and stared at the lake surface closely. The cold sweat seeping out of his palms was so slippery that he could not hold it.
steel pipe.
"Wow... Wow..."
Large flowers appeared in the lake. The water flowers bloomed along the dim red in the deep water towards the deep red on the shore. The blooming speed became faster and faster. Finally, all the water flowers were connected together, and finally you could see the water in the lake.
There was a huge monster swimming toward the shore with the smell of blood. Looking from a distance, you could see the outline of the monster. It was a thick snake-like monster. Its body was coiled together to form a ball. It occasionally stretched its body and paddled.
The water surface was disturbed. The monster swam so fast that it even cut a dent in the calm water surface. The dent extended to the shore and disappeared quickly, and the huge monster also lost a trace.
"roar!!!!!!!!"
A dull roar came from the ground.
"There it is!"
"Oh my God!"
"Oh no!"
The mercenaries who were ambushing on the grass were in confusion. Some people kept screaming and being thrown into the air by an inexplicable force. Their bodies rolled and fell irregularly, and they were unable to move.
The ground beneath my feet shook slightly, and the soil on the surface was quickly plowed into a long, wide, and winding deep trench. The deep trench kept changing directions among the crowd, and the soil on both sides became soft, making it difficult to use strength.
The mercenary fell into the soft soil and disappeared in an instant.
"Quick!" the black captain shouted, "quickly insert the iron pipe into the ground."
The mercenaries scattered throughout the grass all burst out with all kinds of fighting spirit, and the iron pipes covered with barbs were nailed deeply into the ground. Then the mercenaries fired at the black captain
Under his command, he kept pulling out iron pipes from his back and shooting them into the grass in an orderly manner. The densest area of the iron pipes was around the skin bags piled up like a hill.
"howl!!!!!!!!"
A shrill roar came from below the pile of skins, and a large pile of skins were scattered in all directions by a huge force. The monster, which was covered with scars from the barbs on the subway tube, finally drilled most of its body to the ground.
.
To be precise, this cannot be called a monster, because it is just a huge purple-black reptile. The thickest part of this reptile's body is more than ten meters in diameter. The body is divided into segments and is covered with soft
Its head is very small, just a small dot that is out of proportion to its body. It has no eyes but a white nose like a petal. It is the same as the characteristics recorded in the book. This is a dog.
Rare and huge earth dragon.
Earth dragons live deep in the land all year round. They are docile and not aggressive. They like to eat rotten animal carcasses. This kind of creature was very common in ancient times. However, due to the special functions of its muscles, it was almost hunted to death, and the remaining ones were also killed.
Most of them fled deep into the earth's crust and never appeared again. It is rare to see the existence of the earth dragon now, let alone such a big one. The mercenaries were all shocked, and the earth dragon in front of them seemed to turn into a pile of dazzling gold coins.
, full of endless attraction.
This earth dragon has lived in the mud at the bottom of the lake for countless years. It was attracted to the shore tonight because of the strong smell of carrion. Unexpectedly, it was covered with scars from the hard iron thorns in the soil. It became angry and angry.
The earth dragon stood up proudly, and the upper half of its body, which was more than ten meters high, squeezed out a large amount of green viscous juice from the flesh wound due to excessive force. The earth dragon howled in pain again.
"Shoot, shoot it in the head!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The iron pipes with colorful fighting spirit quickly pierced the body and head of the earth dragon. After each iron pipe penetrated the body of the earth dragon, a large amount of green juice would be sprayed out from the end of the iron pipe. The earth dragon
He lay on the ground and rolled continuously, allowing more iron pipes to penetrate his body. During the rolling, dozens of mercenaries had no time to dodge and were crushed into a pulp.
As time goes by, more and more iron pipes are inserted into the body of the earth dragon, and the hollow pipe body takes away a large amount of its body fluids. The screams of the earth dragon become weaker and weaker, and the body that was originally twisting violently
He could only struggle slightly for a few times, until he finally collapsed completely on the grass and made no sound.
Only a dozen mercenaries who survived took off the remaining iron pipes on their backs, sat on the grass and gasped for air. On the black captain's shoulder was a piece of the internal organs that was ejected after his teammate was crushed.
The lake became calm again, and the rotten blood in the water had sunk into the mud at the bottom of the lake. The full moon in the night sky was obscured by a night cloud. On the sand not far from the edge of the grass, an old camel sprayed
He snorted, then buried his head in the sand and continued to take a nap, as if nothing had happened.
