Jin'an and the others came to a Yadan terrain that looked like rows of fish fins. These ridges stood side by side like fish fins, resisting the cross wind.
But the howling slanting winds here are like the wind blowing into the mouth of a trumpet. The cold wind blows more violently than elsewhere.
This place is not suitable for staying overnight. The cold wind here will be even stronger at night. The team endured their exhaustion and finally got out of this strange terrain before dark.
The sunset in the desert is so dazzling that it is difficult to even see a few meters away. The eyes are covered with golden light, and it seems that even if you open your eyes for a long time, you will feel the stinging feeling of crying.
The team found a hill that looked a bit like a triangle and spent the night huddled in the leeward corner of the hill. However, before spending the night, they had to shovel the sand pile at the foot of the hill to have a flat ground to sleep on.
After all this busy work, the sky became completely dark.
How hot it is during the day, how big the temperature difference between day and night is at night.
Everyone sat around the campfire, eating hot naan and hot water, but still felt a little unable to withstand the cold night here.
Even the camels have learned to be smart and know that it is warmer to sit cross-legged around people.
However, there were some exceptions. When the people and the camels planned to eat and drink early and go to bed early to recharge their batteries, those in the team who had eaten the Laughing Corpse Fragrant Pork were completely uninterested in the naan and dried meat.
.
In the past, they could manage to swallow some food, but now as soon as they hold something in their mouth, they spit it out before swallowing it.
However, drinking water is not affected.
But I don’t feel hungry even if I drink water.
And there isn't that much water in this arid desert that you can drink to your heart's content.
The disadvantage of not eating for a long time is that these people are exposed to the sun all day and become weaker when they camp and rest at night.
Among these people, the first to get sick were the group of Master Yan who arrived at Laughing Corpse Manor a few days earlier than them.
midnight.
When everyone was in a daze, the harsh sound of grinding teeth while gnawing on bones woke up several people in the team.
"Where did the mice come from to eat chicken bones in the middle of the night?" Someone turned over and woke up in a daze.
The companion next to him murmured in a low voice: "I think you were confused by the sun during the day and collapsed from the sun. You haven't recovered yet, so you are in a daze and talking nonsense. There is no shit here. Except for people like us, you have nothing to do."
Did you see any other living creatures? There were rats. I thought dogs were meddling with rats. If there were rats and dogs, I would stew them together into a hot pot. After eating naan and dried meat every day, my mouth would have smelled like a bird.
Coming."
With that said, he asked his companion to go to bed early and not to disturb his rest. Tomorrow he would continue to travel under the increasingly fierce sun.
"I don't know when this damn weather will end, and I don't know how many people will be able to get out alive in the end. Go to sleep quickly, don't mess around, take advantage of the rest of your sleep, and it's all worth it to sleep a little longer."
When his companion said this, the person who spoke first did not lie down to sleep immediately, but listened for a while. It seemed that he heard nothing again this time. He lay down to sleep again with doubts.

The night was quiet. The two people who had spoken before suddenly sat up. They were shocked. This time they both heard the sound clearly. There was indeed the sound of rats eating chicken bones in the camp!
The two of them were about to open their mouths to wake everyone up, but before they could shout out, a pair of palms suddenly stretched out from behind and covered their mouths tightly.
The two were about to struggle when Yan Kuan's solemn voice came from behind: "Shh, don't wake them up by talking!"
Seeing that it was Yan Kuan covering the two of them, the two of them were relieved and immediately became curious, wondering who they were that Master Yan was referring to? Master Yan asked them not to wake up Taoist Jin'an, Master Yiyun and the others.
?
At this time, the two of them were surprised to find that it was not just the two of them who were awakened. Master Yan, the mountain guard, the monk, and several martial arts masters in Tongtong were all awakened. They all frowned and looked in the same direction.
Then I was surprised to find that in that direction were two interpreters accompanying the team, squatting in a corner with their backs facing them. They seemed to be holding something in their hands and eating with gusto, unaware of the movement behind them.
Seeing this scene was even more surprising.
The two translators accompanying the team have been losing their appetite after eating the Xiangshizhuang meat. Especially in the past few days, they have been vomiting everything they eat. They have not eaten a grain of rice. They are so hungry that their faces are sallow and their spirits are weak. Why are they suddenly suddenly in the middle of the night?
Get up and eat secretly?
What are they stealing?
This peaceful desert under the thick cold night was not peaceful at all, and the atmosphere began to develop in a somewhat eerie direction.
Just at this moment, a sound, like pebbles being thrown into a century-old pool deep in the mountains and forests, instantly broke the peace.
"You guys are up so late at night, why are you so crazy?" This was a slightly lazy voice, with no nervousness at all. When everyone heard the familiar voice, they all turned their heads subconsciously, and the temples on both sides of their foreheads twitched wildly.
Jump, why is this abnormal person awake?
The person who came was surprisingly Jin An.
In fact, Jin An didn't fall asleep at all.
He had long noticed the abnormality of Yan Kuan's people. He originally wanted to wait and see what happened first.
As a result, Yan Kuan and the mountain guards never saw any action. His legs were numb from squatting in the dark. He was also curious about what the two people were sneaking around in the middle of the night, so he took the initiative to break the peace here.
Hearing the noise behind them, the two people who were squatting in the corner to eat were stunned, and then dispersed and wanted to run away, but at this time, Master Yan and others surrounded the two people in time.
Everyone finally saw clearly what each other was eating in their hands. Several people's expressions changed drastically, and some even couldn't help but bend over and vomited, mixing the undigested food residue from dinner with the acidic water in their stomachs.
Vomited it out.
Those two guys were eating human arms!
To be more precise, it should be the hands of a dead person who has been dead for many years and dried into a mummy in the desert!
At this time, most of the dead people's arms had been chewed off, and the exposed white arm bones were covered with tooth marks. No wonder even these people who are accustomed to life and death couldn't help but vomit.
Killing is killing.
They think they are not good people, and they think they are not carrying human lives on their bodies.
But this damn thing is cannibalism!
The murderer is not a madman, and even a madman cannot do such a dehumanizing thing.
What happened to these people? The food eaten by the living is difficult to swallow and the stench is unpleasant, but the food of the dead can be eaten with gusto. I'm afraid this is not a lunatic. This is an evil spirit, possessed by something dirty.
Bar!
When they thought of being covered in dirty things, these people subconsciously looked at Jin An, as well as Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo who had just arrived, because they all thought of the scene of old man Jiufeng's corpse transformation that night.
So many people died that night, and in the end they were unable to do anything to the old man Jiufeng who turned into a corpse. If the other party really came to kill them again this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't be enough to fill their teeth.
When I think about stuffing my teeth, my face looks even worse and my stomach is churning.
Yan Kuan's face was as dark as a pot, and he said in a gloomy voice: "Go and stop them! Don't let them eat again!"
There were only two cannibals, and there was no way they could compete with so many people in terms of strength. The arms of the dead were quickly snatched away, and then their hands were thrown to the ground with a look of disgust.
Yan Kuan originally planned to interrogate the two of them on the spot after subduing them. Unexpectedly, as the half-eaten Dead Man's Hand was taken away from their hands, the two suddenly went crazy and pulled out their daggers, but they did not want to recapture the Dead Man's Hand.
Instead, he cut open his stomach with his own hands as if he didn't know the pain, reached out and rummaged around in his stomach, and even took out his intestines. The scene was dripping with blood.
He kept saying how painful it was, and felt that the internal organs in his stomach were coming to life and were squirming back and forth in his stomach. He looked like he was completely crazy and confused.
After removing the intestines, the two people scratched their arms and heads desperately, saying that something was coming to life in their heads, and they had a headache that seemed to explode.
This shocking change happened too suddenly.
No one expected that the two of them not only did not resist, but actually mutilated themselves in front of each other, which was a bit unexpected.
With such serious injuries, the two of them could no longer survive. Not long after, they fell motionless in a pool of blood and died with their eyes open.
"How could this happen... I, I just snatched the dead man's arm that they were eating, why did they suddenly commit suicide?"
The few people who had gone to snatch the dead man's arm had not yet come to their senses, and their faces were a little pale.
Even the bravest people are frightened by this strange scene.
This scene was also something that even Yan Kuan had not expected. His face was gloomy and depressed, and he planned to go forward to conduct an autopsy to find out the specific cause of death of the two people. At this time, Jin An cautiously said: "There is something wrong with the bodies of these two people. One
It is impossible for a living person to bleed so little, they bleed so little, even half of the amount of bleeding from such a big wound."
As if to verify his words, the two corpses on the ground that were supposed to be lifeless suddenly trembled. The next moment, a horrific scene that no one expected appeared!
A large amount of evil flesh and blood like human ear flesh instantly grew in the abdominal wounds of the two people. These human ear flesh and blood grew so fast that they tore their waists and abdomens apart. Finally, there was an explosion!
The upper body of the dead man exploded, and his flesh and blood splashed out several feet away. Layers of human ear flesh and blood were spread out like waves on the cold desert, covering an area of several feet.
