Fan Lao Wai got up, swallowed his saliva, and moved closer to Shi Hu unconsciously.
"It's the Desert Wolf! It seems we're not far from the edge of the desert!"
"Wolf? Are there wolves in the desert?"
"Of course there are wolves, but since there are wolves here, it proves that we are almost out of the desert. In the depths of the desert, even wolves cannot survive."
Tie Mo rushed up with Zhou Dingshan, looked at the situation in front, and said worriedly: "Old Fan, do you want to get rid of this lone wolf?"
Fan Laowai waved his hands hurriedly.
"No, please don't, let's continue on our way. Wolves come in groups. They are the smartest guys in the desert. As long as we maintain good formation, the wolves will not dare to attack us easily."
"The more panicked we are, the more vulnerable we are to attack. Wolves can smell fear."
Tie Mo nodded and signaled his subordinates to be on full alert, and the camel caravan suddenly became even tighter.
The camel caravan crossed the sand dunes and continued moving forward, while the lone wolf followed closely.
After an unknown amount of time, the camels began to panic, and the camel bells rang in disarray, making people uneasy.
Before the camels were calmed down, they saw dozens of pairs of green eyes on the sand dunes in the distance.
The wolves finally appeared.
The military households quickly appeased the camels, and then separated some people to draw their swords, ready to face the wolves that might arrive at any time.
"Ouch...Ouch..."
The roar of wolves echoed into the distance in this empty desert.
Although the wolves appeared, for some reason they kept a distance from the lone wolf. The lone wolf did not move, and neither did the wolves.
The camel team and the wolf pack were facing each other like this, and no one dared to act rashly.
The lone wolf slowly walked towards the camel caravan along the sand dunes. Tie Mo drew his sword and strode forward to meet it.
Man and wolf, king versus king.
Tie Mo is also a man with a temper. If a lone wolf dares to come alone, I, a dignified man, cannot lose the momentum of a human being.
The lone wolf stopped ten feet ahead. Under the darkness, it was impossible to see its figure. Only its two eyes were shining and breathtaking.
Tie Mo held the knife without any fear.
After an unknown amount of time, the lone wolf suddenly turned around and let out a series of ear-piercing howls.
"Awww...aowww..."
With a roar, the lone wolf turned and walked towards the sand dunes, but the pack of wolves gradually disappeared.
The wolf pack disappeared, but the lone wolf did not leave, still maintaining the inherent distance.
Tie Mo was a little confused. What did this lone wolf mean? Is it contempt or something else?
Does it feel suspicious of a lone wolf fighting against the pack?
"Old Fan, what's going on? This wolf king took the wrong medicine?"
Mr. Fan's face twitched, and he hugged his arms tightly in fear, "I have never encountered such a thing, so don't worry about it for now. Since the wolves have retreated for the time being, let's continue on our way."
"Too!"
Tie Mo thought about it carefully. The wolves have retreated. Are they still afraid of you as a lone wolf?
The frightened camel team continued on its way under the command of Fan Laowai. However, Fan Laowai did not dare to walk at the front for the rest of the way.
Oddly enough, the lone wolf still followed me not far or near, but when the dawn sun appeared, it disappeared again.
A section of wall appeared on the sand dune in the distance. Fan Laowai seemed to have seen a golden mountain. He ran forward with joy and excitement. Because he ran too fast, he fell several times in a row.
"Here we are, haha, we've arrived at Wangyue Slope."
"Wangyue Slope?"
Tie Mo and others didn't know why, but the gopher who had been playing dumb all the way finally spoke.
"It is said that when our ancestor Emperor Yongle was on an expedition to Mongolia, he lost his way during the night march. Just when he was on the verge of despair, he saw a broken city wall. He stood on the broken wall and watched the moon rise. After marching for more than ten miles, he unexpectedly
They found a source of sand and sea water. With water, the army survived. The sky became brighter the next day and the compass returned to normal. A closer look showed that the source of the water and the place where the moon rises are in the east. From then on, Emperor Yongle named this place
Wangyue Slope, when you get here, those who are lost can find the direction, and those who are dehydrated can find water."
Tie Mo pursed his chapped lips and poked the gopher in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"
"I'm not telling the truth, everything is hearsay, but it should be true that there is a water source. How about someone named Fan be so happy that he looks like a bear?"
Sure enough, at this moment Fan Laowai was leaning against the broken wall and drinking water, not afraid of wasting it at all.
Seeing this, Tie Mo and others couldn't bear it anymore. They each took out their water bottles and drank a lot. Of course, they didn't forget to let the camels have a good meal.
To the east of the remaining wall, we found a natural water source. For some reason, the water did not freeze during the cold season.
After replenishing the water supply and resting for about an hour, Fan Laowai began to urge the camel team to hurry up.
"We won't rest today. When we get to Wangyue Slope, we can walk north for five hours and then we can get out of this damn desert. Let's hold on tight and carry it over. As long as we can hold on, we can get out of the desert before dark.
, go to the grassland and spend the night."
The camel team continued on its way. Without the threat of the Lone Wolf King, Fan Laowai seemed to be in a much better mood and began to serve as the vanguard of the team again.
Tie Mo frowned, and he looked at Zhou Dingshan, their eyes full of wariness, but they didn't say anything.
When we were traveling at night, we were threatened by wolves. The camels could still hold on, but the people could no longer hold on. Several military households fell asleep while walking, and even Han Niuer couldn't help but complain.
stand up.
"Lao Fan, why don't you take a rest? Our brothers really can't hold on any longer. If we continue like this, our brothers will lie down before we even get out of the desert."
"No, victory is right in front of you, hurry up and follow!"
Fan Laowai glared, leaving no room for negotiation.
Tie Mo walked up to Fan Laowai, pulled him further away, held his hands in his arms and said with a smile: "Lao Fan, just do it, we are almost out of the desert anyway, there is no rush at this moment, don't you think?"
"Master Tie, we are about to leave the desert, and we will pass by Ren Ren."
"Old Fan, you said that if I don't want to endure it, I just want to take a rest."
Fan Laowai's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He curled his lips and said with a sinister smile: "Master Tie, we had agreed before. What you are doing now will make it very difficult for Fan."
"Lao Fan, why are you so angry? Can you just give Tie Mo some face?" Tie Mo waved his hand, and Zhou Dingshan ran over with a bag on his back.
Without Tie Mo's words, Zhou Dingshan took out two ingots of silver from his baggage and handed them to Fan Laowai.
"Lao Fan, take it back and let the brothers rest!"
Looking at the silver in front of him and Tie Mo's cold eyes, Fan Laowai sighed helplessly.
"Okay, just do what Mr. Tie said, but I won't do it again."
"Don't worry, there will never be a next time. Lao Fan, you also have to understand that it's the first time for brothers like me to travel, so they can't compare with you!"
Tie Mo said a few nice words, and Fan Laowai felt a little happy.
Since it was time to rest, Fan Laowai was not polite and found a place to hide under the camel's belly and fell asleep.
Tie Mo glanced at Fan Laowai from afar, and frowned slowly, "Dingshan, quietly inform the brothers that from now on, be very alert. No one can mess up without my order."
If you move, even if you poop, you have to poop in my crotch."
"Yeah! It's just, Brother Tie, is something really going to happen?"
"I don't know. Anyway, be prepared. We are all on the road, so it's always good to be extra careful!"
Tie Mo didn't know whether he was right or wrong. He always felt that there was something wrong with Fan Laowai.
