Chapter 1248 Sand Worm
Tian Hu did not believe that they could avoid all dangers by coincidence, so the reason must be this young man.
"What's wrong? Let's go?" Liu Jun turned around and said with a glance.
"Oh, oh, okay" Tian Hu hurriedly followed.
No matter what, this situation is better than him being alone. If it were him, maybe he was among the screams just now.
It’s not like I didn’t meet anyone along the way.
This place is relatively close to the underground city, and some precious plants also appear more frequently. Many people do not go to the underground city, but to make money by digging these plants.
So along the way, Liu Jun and the others saw many people carrying various tools to look for precious plants.
"Do you want to dig this thing out and take it back to sell it for money?" Liu Jun pointed to a cluster of pagoda-like plants not far away.
“Cistanche deserticola?” A look of surprise appeared on Tian Hu’s face.
Cistanche deserticola has the reputation of "desert ginseng". It is a parasitic plant that lives on the roots of Haloxylon ammodendron, a desert tree. It has extremely high medicinal value, so it is also very expensive.
"To be precise, it is a two-hundred-year-old Cistanche deserticola, which can be sold for millions," Liu Jun added.
Tian Hu struggled for a few seconds and sighed, "You found this, go dig it up."
Tian Hu meant that although he was their teammate, they didn't have this thing. I saw it, Liu Jun saw it, then this is Liu Jun's.
Liu Jun smiled and said, "I don't care about this stuff, you can keep it"
With that said, Liu Jun ignored the cluster of Cistanche deserticola worth millions and walked straight forward.
The child Mao Binbin did not dig, but caught up with Liu Jun and followed Liu Jun closely, as if he was afraid of getting lost.
Tian Hu hurriedly ran over to dig up Cistanche deserticola, and then caught up with Liu Jun and the others.
Fortunately, this Cistanche deserticola is not as difficult to dig as ginseng, so it is not troublesome.
"This, this thing, I, I will help you take it back," Tian Hu said to Liu Jun breathlessly.
It's not that Liu Jun doesn't like valuable things, it's just that since he has teamed up with others, he can't let them get no benefits at all.
As the sky gets darker, the temperature in the desert also drops to a terrifying level.
As early as many years ago, there was a proverb here: "Wear a cotton-padded jacket in the evening and wear a gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelon around the stove."
"Huhu" the cold wind whistled, blowing on people's skin, it was as painful as a knife.
Liu Jun is fine, Tian Hu is okay, but Mao Binbin is a bit unbearable.
He may have run out in a hurry this time, so he only wore one piece of clothing.
In an armored vehicle, this piece of clothing is enough, but when walking in the desert, whether it is the cold at night or the heat during the day, it is not enough.
Thick clothes can keep out the cold at night. Wearing thick clothes in the desert during the day is to prevent the skin from absorbing too much heat.
If Liu Jun hadn’t brought a lot of water in the Good and Evil Order along the way, Mao Binbin would have died in the desert long ago.
Seeing the shivering Mao Binbin, Liu Jun pretended to reach into his backpack, took out a down jacket and handed it to Mao Binbin.
"Brother Mu, I, I don't need it." Mao Binbin was stunned for a moment.
"Get dressed, you're freezing to death here, how can I go to your mother's to buy buns to eat when I go back?" Liu Jun curled his lips and said.
Tian Hu took a look and said nothing, but he was a little curious.
If he remembered correctly, Liu Jun took out a roast chicken, a roast duck, dozens of bottles of mineral water, and several packets of melon seeds from this backpack.
Now I took out another down jacket. This backpack can hold it too.
"Find a place to rest," Liu Jun looked around and said.
In this desert, there are no caves or tree caves, so we can only find a depression sheltered from the wind to rest.
"Okay, let's have a rest." Although Tian Hu was a little anxious to enter the dungeon, he also knew that if he traveled at night, he would definitely encounter some unknown dangers. By then, he would not be able to earn any money, and his life would have to be risked. Go in.
"Binbin, do you want to eat barbecue?" Liu Jun found a low place to sit down and asked.
Mao Binbin's eyes lit up, and just when he was about to nod, he remembered the environment he was in now, and then shook his head, "I want to eat, but I can't eat now"
"If you want to eat, let's make it. Don't be afraid." Liu Jun took out a barbecue stove from his backpack with a smile, and then took out a bag of charcoal, various seasonings, and skewered meat. "You, your backpack?" Tianhu people were all dumbfounded. It's so meow-like that even Doraemon Tinkerbell wouldn't dare to take out it like this.
"Ang, the backpack is big, so it can hold a lot of things," Liu Jun said casually as he started to break off some disposable chopsticks and light them on fire.
Tian Hu curled his lips. He knew that Mu Egg Jun didn't tell the truth, but he didn't ask. Everyone should have their own secrets.
The disposable chopsticks were ignited and made a "crackling" sound. The flames spread upward and ignited the charcoal. Although the charcoal did not burn vigorously, it added a touch of warmth to the cold night.
Tian Hu and Mao Binbin gathered around. They were not hungry, but simply wanted to use the fire to keep warm.
After the charcoal temperature came up, Liu Jun put the meat on it and started to barbecue seriously.
The oil on the barbecue keeps dripping, making a "zizz" sound.
Tian Hu's eyes were complicated. Before coming here, he thought of all the dangers he could encounter, but he never thought that he would have barbecue in this place.
"Hey, the meat skewers are freshly baked, come on, try it, try it." Liu Jun handed the meat skewers to Tian Hu and Mao Binbin.
"By the way, barbecue and beer, the more you drink, the better." Liu Jun took out another drink and beer, and gave the drink to Mao Binbin. The child was still underage.
If it were anyone else, Tian Hu would never dare to eat the other person's food or drink what the other person handed over.
But Liu Jun is different. Tian Hu knows that although Liu Jun has always kept a low profile, he is definitely a master. It is easy to kill him. There is no need to do these useless things.
With the cold wind blowing in the desert, eating barbecue and drinking beer were a unique experience. The three of us ate hundreds of skewers of barbecue.
After the barbecue, Mao Binbin felt a little sleepy and started to take a nap.
Liu Jun waited for Mao Binbin to fall asleep and covered him with a blanket.
This child is quite eye-catching. He is courageous, not afraid of death, and refuses to admit defeat. At least when he was twelve or thirteen years old, he did not dare to come to a place like this.
Moreover, when the child faced the sandworm during the day, he did not abandon him and run away, which surprised Liu Jun.
A normal child of twelve or thirteen years old would have been frightened out of his wits when seeing such a ferocious sandworm.
"Brother Tian, you should also take a rest. You have been working hard all day. Take the time to rest. You have to hurry up at dawn." Liu Jun reminded Tian Hu when he saw that Tian Hu was also holding back his sleepiness.
"Okay, I'll take over for you later. Just call me if you feel sleepy." Tian Hu yawned, and without being polite to Liu Jun, he lay down next to Mao Binbin and fell asleep.
After Tian Hu and Mao Binbin fell asleep, in less than half an hour, there was a "squeaking" sound around them.
Liu Jun leaned on his backpack, the corners of his mouth raised, and a smile appeared on his face, "You are so brave, you dare to come to me for revenge?"
I saw Liu Jun getting up and looking at Mao Binbin He pressed Tian Hu a few times to make them sleep harder.
With a "bang", countless grains of sand flew, and a huge figure appeared, blocking the moonlight.
Liu Jun looked around. In addition to the giant sandworm in front of him, he also saw blurry black shadows in other places around him. They were so densely packed that it was probably the entire sandworm family that had come out.
The sandworm leader stared at Liu Jun with his small eyes, his huge body squirming from time to time.
Liu Jun did not make a move, and the sandworm leader did not attack either. There was a stalemate between one person and one insect for a while.
There was a loud "boom" and the sound echoed throughout the desert.
After all, Liu Jun got impatient and punched the sandworm leader away.
The other sandworms immediately pounced on him, trying to bite Liu Jun into pieces.
At this time, a sharp cry sounded, and the sandworm leader, who was directly blown away by Liu Jun, climbed out of a large sand pit.
"Hoho" the sandworms roared a few times, and all the sandworms quickly retreated, just like a well-trained tribe. In the blink of an eye, all the sandworms except the leader of the sandworms disappeared without a trace. No trace.
"If you dare to come here again, I will massacre your entire clan! Get lost," Liu Jun scolded.
The leader of the sandworm nodded his big head and hurriedly got into the sand and disappeared.
The moment Liu Jun punched it, it felt a killing intent. This killing intent that could only be achieved by killing countless people instantly made it realize the mistake of coming here for revenge.
So when Liu Jun told him to go away, he didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even have the slightest idea of trying Liu Jun, and just chose to run away.
