Jiao Ba jumped away and said, "It's nothing, it's just the smell of wind and sand. Mr. Mai, let's take a rest here. Jenny and Li Xin are already very tired."
But Li Xin still said forcefully, "If Just rest for us, forget it, I said, we won’t hold you back.”
“That’s right, this difficulty is nothing.” Jenny smiled at Li Xin, the two of them. It still fits well.
Mai Lao put down his backpack, "I'm tired. Let's take a rest where you are. Martin, take out the tent."
We set up the tent again and huddled together to rest. I was so sleepy that I just sat there and went to sleep. The rest of us drank water and ate. We didn’t eat much, just a little each time, but we ate more frequently. This was also to facilitate movement. This compressed dry food , don’t eat too much, otherwise you will get bloated.
Each of us is disgraced and embarrassed. We are like African refugees blown by the wind and sand. We have long lost our original appearance. The two beauties Li Xin and Jenny are now even uglier than the village girls. Their beautiful faces have long since disappeared. The torture during this period of time had made them both haggard, and their tender skin was a little dry and cracked. It was such a torture.
"You two drink more water. If you don't drink water, I think you two will pass out due to dehydration." I said with some distress. If you continue like this, they will go to see God. .
"Yes Jenny, drink more water, you don't have to be so frugal." Jiao Ba said with concern. It seems that he really means that to Jenny, but there are too many things during this time, and he has not yet I'm in a hurry to talk to Jenny in detail.
After hearing what we said, the two of them took a few sips. Li Xin ate something more and asked a little tiredly, "From the telescope, the palace is far away from us, but I hope we can arrive safely on this journey."
Shaoyu was in a trance and said a little nervously, "Danger. The danger is getting closer and closer to us. I feel that something is staring at us again under the desert. We have to get out of here as soon as possible.”
"Shaoyu, I have told you several times, don't worry, we will be fine." Martin comforted again.
"No, this is true. I really feel that there is something underneath this desert. It is following us. It may kill us anytime and anywhere." Shaoyu was like an overly frightened person. Like other people, he hunched over his waist and said with a sinister look on his face.
The big man smiled helplessly and said, "Why is he just like a pyramid schemer? Is he mentally ill?"
"I am not mentally ill. This is true. If you don't listen, Oh my, you will all regret it, you will regret it, that thing is coming, it will kill us, he will kill us all," Shaoyu said tremblingly.
His eyes were full of horror. I don’t know what he saw before, but the death of the sailor seemed to have brought a lot of psychological pressure to him, and it seemed that there was really something under the desert. There is some terrible creature. We are in the light, but that thing is in the dark. Maybe the danger is really getting closer to us.
Martin stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "Damn it, can you calm down? When did you become so cowardly? If you are afraid, get back here now."
Shaoyu said with a silly smile, "Captain, we have known each other for such a long time, have you ever seen me scared? Am I the kind of person who is afraid of death? Just But this time, I feel the arrival of death. Death is very close to us, right in front of us."
"Shut up and stop saying depressing words. If you say more. Just say a word and I'll let you taste my fist." Martin also lost control, Shaoyu was in a daze and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Mai Lao reached out and grabbed Martin's arm and said, "Martin, let him go. It's not his fault. There may be something underneath the desert."
Martin here Then she let go of him, looked into his eyes and said, "Shaoyu, don't embarrass me. Even if death does come, we have to face it with a smile."
Shaoyu sat on the ground and suddenly smiled helplessly and nodded. The atmosphere in the tent was very awkward. No one said a word. On the one hand, it was to preserve physical strength. On the other hand, it was also because the environment here brought us a lot of trouble. The inner pressure, this invisible pressure, presses on our chests like a mountain, making it difficult for us to breathe.
About half an hour later, Mr. Mai stood up and walked out of the tent, "That's almost it, we should hit the road."
After putting the tent away, a group of us set out on the journey again, along the hillside Walking all the way down again, the wind and sand at this time were already very small, and again It was a long way, and by the time we reached the bottom of the hillside, everyone was sweating profusely. It was really too hot. It felt like we would be sunburned to death if it continued like this. The air was hot and the wind was hot. Everything was hot, and the yellow sand under my feet was so hot that I felt like I could boil water.
The sun is always hanging high and motionless. The whole sky is full of white clouds. These clouds are constantly moving, but what makes me most helpless is that no matter how they move, they just don’t move towards the sun. Floating over there, we longed for the warmth of the sun when we were in the Ice City, but now this warmth is almost melting us.
Just when we were almost exhausted, I felt my feet go weak, and my whole body immediately sank into the desert. My legs were instantly buried in the yellow sand. I was dumbfounded. Quicksand, I shouted, "It's quicksand, please save me."
And just as I shouted, I clearly felt something underneath the desert grabbing my feet and pulling me down hard. I tried my best to climb up, but the yellow sand was too strong. It was so soft that no matter how hard I climbed, my body was falling rapidly.
All this happened in an instant, less than a few seconds. Just when I was about to be buried in the desert, Jiao Ba and Shunzi quickly grabbed my arms, and Shunzi shouted I heard, "Brother, hold on, come and help."
Jiao Ba and Shunzi pulled me hard, but the ghost thing below was very powerful. No matter how hard they tried, we couldn't His body still couldn't break out of the desert, and most of his body was still buried underneath.
"Damn it, there's something pulling me down here, pull me up quickly, hurry up." I yelled anxiously, if I was buried in the desert, I would die in an instant.
The big man and the steamed bun also rushed over to help. These four people were much stronger, but at the same time I suffered a lot. They were pulling my arms from above, but there was something underneath. Grasping my feet, the result of the combined force of both parties was that my arms and legs were about to break.
"Oh my god, death is coming, death is coming, let's pray, let's pray." Like a mentally ill patient, Yu Shao was completely frightened. He actually knelt on the desert and began to pray.
Martin went up and gave him a kick, "Get up, why are you crazy."
"Captain, I'm not crazy, I'm just praying, only God can save us , Death has come, he is going to kill us all, he is going to take away every one of our lives, I pray to God to send Death away." Shaoyu was trembling, muttering like an idiot.
Martin went up and punched him. The punch was so powerful that the corners of Shaoyu's mouth were covered with blood. "Please wake up, look at what time it is now, you are still here." Go crazy, get out of here, quickly.”
Jenny and Li Xin at this time. I wanted to come over, so I shouted anxiously, "Don't come here, you two. It's very dangerous here. Mai Lao, take them away." There may be a whirlpool in the desert at any time. Once they all come over, if a whirlpool forms in the desert, We are about to be completely wiped out, and there is not even a single person to rescue us.
Mai Lao understood better. He stopped Li Xin and Jenny in a daze, and called Martin, Shao Shao and others over. They couldn't help me, so they could only hide and watch from a distance. I tried to rush over several times, but was stopped by Mai Lao and Chang Shan. This area was too dangerous.
"Ah, hurry up, my arm is about to be broken." I shouted in pain. If this continues, I will be torn into pieces by five horses.
But at this moment, the four of them roared and pulled me out from under the yellow sand. But while they were pulling me out, Shunzi exclaimed, "I Damn it, what is that?”
I looked back and paused. I was so frightened that I almost screamed. When they pulled me out, they also brought out the thing that was grabbing my feet. This ghost thing looked like a human, but it was not a human. It looked like A half-mummy body, the whole body is as skinny as firewood, and the body is the same color as the yellow sand.
The hand that grabbed my calf was so shriveled that it was out of shape. Its head was so big that it took up the entire body, but there were no facial features on such a big head, and the entire face was completely empty. The hole is so big that people dare not look directly at it. What on earth is this?
"I'll fuck you, sir." I raised my foot and kicked this ghost in the face, while shouting, "Shoot, shoot it."
Jiao Ba's He had the fastest reaction. When he saw this ghost, he drew his gun and fired. When the others saw that he had fired, they also raised their guns and fired. Under a burst of strong firepower, the ghost was almost beaten to death. Like a sieve, the big heads were smashed into pieces.
Half a minute later, they stopped attacking, but after stopping, everyone seemed a little frightened. The big man gasped and asked, "What the hell is this thing? Why is it so scary?" What kind of monster is this?”
"I don't know. I have never encountered such a thing. It seems that Shaoyu is right. There is indeed something underneath the desert." I sat on the ground, still a little bit uneasy. If they weren't fast enough, I would have died inside.
“It’s so damn disgusting, this thing makes me sick to my stomach.” Steamed Bun frowned and cursed.
Shunzi stretched out his hand and pulled me up, "How are you, brother? Are you okay?"
I shook my head and said, "It's okay. If you hadn't acted quickly enough, I would have died." Then, I walked away from that ghost thing, squatted down and took a closer look, what on earth was this thing? It's really hard to tell the difference between a human and a ghost.
"Lao Ba, do you know what this thing is?" I raised my head and asked Jiao Ba. Jiao Ba squatted down and took a look and said, "I can't tell what it is, but at first glance, it seems to be a cursed person."
