A group of people stood silently, looking at the camel that was half submerged in quicksand.The camel seems to be human, with big eyes with long eyelashes and its neck raised, looking sadly at the surrounding humans.But no one moved. Everyone knows that at this time, it is beyond human power. If you drag it forcibly, even the people next to you may be pulled down.

After all, the yellow sand overflowed the camel's neck at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally dragged it into the dark and terrifying depths.

Rong Shisan suddenly slammed the shotgun on the ground violently, and cursed bitterly: "Damn it!"

Lan Zui rubbed his forehead and turned around on the spot, also full of anger: "This is all right, the boat capsized in the gutter. What are you going to do?"

Bai Suhe has ordered the rest of the camels.Fortunately, the camels that Reimu and the others took away were only seven humps, and the water and food on the rest of the camels were still sufficient. Seeing that Rong Shisan and Lan Zui were on the verge of going crazy, they could only say: "Don't complain, it seems Reyimu has already brought us into the quicksand area. Don't wander around, just stay in the camp, you should rest and wait until dawn to find a way."

"Yes, it's useless for you to be angry now. Without Reimu and Sabir to lead the way, blindly chasing in the desert at night will only lead to getting lost, and you may be trapped in the quicksand. It's still some time before dawn, and you are very tired these days. Take advantage of this moment to rest as much as possible. Earlier, Reyimu said that he had strayed halfway and had been deliberately delaying the trip, just taking us around in circles to consume our energy. If we don’t have enough energy, the situation will only get worse and worse. " Jun Yihuang grabbed Lan Zui, who was still circling around, and dragged him to the sleeping bag, "I'll keep watch for you all, and you all go to sleep."

Rong Shisan was still furious, the smile that usually hangs on his face had long since disappeared, his handsome face looked ferocious, and he said coldly: "They can't please them either, I just shot a few times at the water bag. It’s at least two days’ journey from here to Reyimu’s replenishment water source, unless they can find a water source nearby, they will have to come back sooner or later.”

Only then did Rong Jiu understand why Rong Shisan's gun was not aimed at the person or the camel just now, but at the sides of the camel.It is true that the power of the shotgun to injure people is not great at the distance just now, but it is absolutely no problem to break a few eyes of the water bladder.When Reyimu and the others calmed down to check, the water in the water bag might have leaked in all directions, and there wasn't much left.

Rong Jiu couldn't help feeling annoyed when he remembered that he himself had a good time with Kanji along the way, and didn't realize that this kid had extra scheming in the slightest.His outing experience is really too little.

Driven by Jun Yihuang and Bai Suhe, the angry people returned to their sleeping bags one after another to catch up on sleep.But after something like this happened, who could really be so big that he would fall asleep?But it was just tossing and turning in the sleeping bag and forcing myself to close my eyes and rest.

Each of them was burning with fire for an hour, and Lan Zui couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he got up and packed his luggage.With Lan Zui, the others followed suit.After clearing up the camp, the sky began to brighten.Today's weather is different from everyone's dark and gloomy mood, it is exceptionally good.A red glow hangs high in the east, layers of brilliant colors dye half of the sky, and the wind is much calmer than usual, a few small winds hit the top of the dunes, but a few grains of floating sand were rolled up.

Lan Zui and Rong Shisan are deciding where to go.The food that Reimu left on the camels was enough for them to eat for nearly a month, but the drinking water was only enough for four to five days.Based on the distance on the map and the distance they walked, it can be deduced that they should have just entered the quicksand area. If they choose to leave, they can avoid this deadly dangerous area with greater confidence.However, they may not be able to accurately identify the direction of arrival in the vast desert outside. If they cannot find drinkable fresh water within five days, they will have to die of thirst in the boundless sea of ​​sand.

The second option is to move on.This is the quicksand area, which means that they have entered Karabasaki, not far from the ancient city that was destroyed by the war.Reyimu said that wherever there are ancient cities and pools, there will be water sources. If they are lucky, they can find the ancient city to replenish drinking water.It's just that so many years have passed, it is unknown whether the water source has dried up.Moreover, the road ahead is full of dangers, and they cannot tell which places are safe to walk and which parts belong to the quicksand area. If they make a mistake, they will follow in the footsteps of that camel.

The most important thing is that the purpose of this trip is close at hand, but they have to look at it and sigh. This feeling is really hard for outsiders to understand.

After discussing for a long time, there is still no conclusion, but the sky is getting redder and redder. In the past, the scorching sun that should have jumped out of the clouds and sprinkled it has been long gone.This overly stern color made the people squinting and looking up suddenly feel uneasy, and before they could think about it, Rong Jiu suddenly shrugged his nose and shouted: "They're back!"

Rong Shisan was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Really?"

"real!"

Within ten minutes or so, a cloud of dust was seen rising from the sand dunes in the distance.Rong Shisan thought that Reimu and the others had to come back because they ran out of drinking water, and was about to take a stand and teach them a lesson, but he immediately knew that he was wrong.

The camels running on the sand dunes were many times more aggressive than when they fled in the morning, as if there were wolves chasing after them.And those camels came straight to Lan Zui's group of camels, without any intention of slowing down to avoid them.Seeing that the situation was wrong, everyone hurriedly pulled away the gathered camels, trying to block Reimu and others' way.In just a short while, Reyimu's face was clearly visible.

"Let's go, let's go, come with me! Hurry up, oh yo!" Reimu yelled loudly, urging the camel desperately.

What are you doing?Are there really wolves?Lan Zui didn't know what kind of plane Reimu was planning, but she had seen the power of wolves before, so she turned over with a whistle and got on her camel without any hesitation.

Reyimu's next words scared the few people who were still suspicious to death: "Hurry up! A big storm is coming! If you don't run away, you will be buried alive!"

This time, no one hesitated anymore, and climbed onto the camel one after another.The camel that Reimu was riding was the first camel of the group. Following the roar of the first camel, the other camels seemed to be infected with the panic of the first camel.

Reyimu led a group of camels behind him, hula la rushing forward like headless chickens.Although Lan Zui and the others also rode camels a few days ago, they had never experienced such a galloping speed, and each of them was dizzy and almost vomited on the camel's back.Rong Shisan's situation is a little better, and he can barely concentrate on observing the direction of Reyimu's travel, so that Reyimu won't leave them behind again.But it was only after seeing Rong Shisan that something was wrong. Reimu just climbed on the camel's hump and let the camel rush left and right.It is said that Reyimu commanded the camels to lead the way, rather than that the camels shuttled through this quicksand area out of fear and survival instinct.

It's too dangerous to go on like this, Rong Shisan has no choice but to urge the camel forward to be parallel to Reyimu, clamp his legs and turn out the shotgun on his back, and shout at Reyimu: "Stop! Stop!"

The howling of the wind covered most of Rong Shisan's voice.But the weapon in Rong Shisan's hand is the best endorsement item he wants to express.Once the shotgun is fired at this distance, it is enough to shoot people into a hornet's nest on the spot. Reyimu has no choice but to appease the first camel, gradually slowing down, but unwilling to stop completely.

"Reimu, do you know the way? Where are you going now?"

Reyimu shook his head in fear and despair, not looking at Rong Shisan, but turning his head to look behind him frequently.

Seeing Reyimu like this, Rong Shisan panicked, and shouted, "Do you fucking have no idea where that ancient city is?"

"I never said that I knew the location of the ancient city! I just brought you to Karaba Saqi, and here is Karaba Saqi!" Under the pressure of life and death, Reyimu no longer shy and cautious like before, and responded uncharacteristically. Rong Shisan roared back.

"Damn it!" Lan Zui followed Rong Shisan closely, heard it clearly, and couldn't help cursing, "I don't know where you are running now?"

Reyimu didn't answer, but the eyes under the goggles opened wider and wider because of fear.They will be on a high hill, and they can see that some small black spots are beginning to appear on the orange-gold sand dunes shrouded in bright red light in the distance.At the same time, although the speed of the camels slowed down, the wind speed around them gradually increased.

"If you don't want to run away, just stay here and wait to be buried alive!" Reimu grew up in Mok, knowing that once these seemingly small black spots are connected into pieces, it is the beginning of a violent wind and sandstorm.At that time, I can no longer run away.

"Idiot!" Rong Shisan followed Reyimu's gaze and of course saw the changes in the distance, but if there is no destination, running like this will not only waste the camel's energy, but also risk falling into a quicksand pit at some point It's dangerous, it's useless at all, once the strong wind hits, how can the camel run through the sandstorm?

Rong Shisan had no choice but to slow down and land beside Rong Jiu, and shouted: "Rong Jiu, what on earth is your nose doing! Did you smell anything?!"

Rong Jiu was led away in a daze, thinking that Reyimu knew where to avoid danger.After listening to Rong Shisanyi's questioning, he realized that what happened just now was all running around, and the crime was all for nothing, and he almost lost his anger.

The camels felt the dangerous condensation in the air, and the speed that had been slightly slowed down under the lead of the head camel gradually increased.Rong Jiu knew that if the camel ran wildly again this time, it would be impossible to stop, so he no longer cared about the sand getting into his nose, so he buried his head and tore off the cloth covering his face, pulled out his stuffy nose, and moved his nose to keep sniffing wildly.

But with so many people and camels in front, what the wind brings is the body odor of everyone, the smell of camels, sweat acid that has not been scrubbed for a long time, and even the strong smell of mutton from dried meat in the bag. Rong Jiu choked so much that she sneezed several times and almost fainted from the smoke.

Seeing that this was not an option, Rong Jiu simply urged the camels to leave the brigade and run in one direction alone.He knew that this kind of behavior was dangerous, and if the camels didn't obey the command, he would be separated from the group.But it would be a matter of life and death, so I couldn't think too much about it, and while urging the camel away, I carefully discerned the smell in the wind.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, whistling from a distance, roaring away, the space near the ground has been filled with floating loose sand.Every breath of this air full of dry sand is a torture for Rong Jiu, but Rong Jiu knows that the stronger the wind, the farther it comes, the more information it contains.Sure enough, in a certain breath, the smell of dry sand was mixed with a fleeting fragrance.
