MTL - The Dark King-Chapter 20 :Alchemist
At this moment, a gray shadow flashed in vain, hitting the yellow scale snake and dropping it on the sand.
"Run!" Dudion snarled.
Macon returned and rushed.
Du Dian looked and twisted the yellow scale snake that he had chased up. He turned and ran away without turning back. At the same time, he tightened his hand into a thick coat of rope. He could shoot down the yellow scale snake before, relying on the help of the coat. .
Hey!
Du Di'an soon surpassed Macon and ran to the front. His endurance training and long-distance running performance was the first in the bedroom.
After running for hundreds of meters, Du Dian looked back and saw that behind the last Meike, the yellow scale snake had lost its track. It should be known that the hunting failed, so he gave up decisively. After all, animals that survive in such a harsh environment often like the hunting method that is necessary, and the consumption of physical strength to hunt for prey is undoubtedly the most stupid hunting method.
Du Dian sighed and said: "Don't run, don't chase."
Macon and the sand and the two of them squatted, only to notice that the rear yellow scale snake did not continue to catch up, immediately relieved. The next moment, a few people felt deeply tired and rushed into their hearts, the whole body was sore, the throat was chapped. It is thirsty and hot.
"Scared me." Zach smacked his chest.
"Have a rest, exhausted me." Sham gasped.
Someone was shocked. When he heard the words of the two men, he suddenly looked up at Du Di'an. He bit his teeth and said to Du Di: "Dean, this time you saved my life, what will happen later..."
"Let's talk less." Du Di'an patted his shoulder. "Save energy. Don't stop. The snake is likely to continue to catch up in the sand. It hasn't left its hunting range yet, and it's not too late. We must find the water source as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to support it tonight." Finish, continue to lead the way.
Meike looked at his back, biting his teeth and followed.
Zach and Sham looked at each other and recalled the weakness of the previous hesitation. They bowed their heads and said nothing, silently following Dudian.
A few people followed the sand road and continued west. All the way was sand and dry clods. This made Mei, Sha, and Zha could not help but wonder if they chose the wrong direction. If they change direction, can they find it? Water source?
However, under the insistence of Du Di'an, there was no change in direction.
At dusk, several people were already tired and dying, sweating all over the body, reddening their faces, and the speed of travel was reduced to one tenth when they first came to the desert, almost the speed of the turtle.
"Found it!" In vain, the Dudian sound in front of it sounded.
Mei, Sha, and Zha were numb, like a corpse, and when they heard this, they lived like they immediately, and they expressed hope in the eyes of Cognac.
"Where?" Macon hurried.
Du Dian raised his hand and there was a small **** in front of it. Not far from the slope, there were some dry green grass and cactus, which are common plants in the desert.
"Plants, it is a plant!!" Mei, Sha, and Zha suddenly excited.
Du Di'an also showed a smile on his face, saying: "Start to plan, under the plants, there must be water!" After that, I took the lead and went to the middle of a cluster of green grass and shoveled: "Be careful, There may be other things lurking here."
The three people of Macon heard this, and the excitement on his face suddenly became cold and nervously looked around.
It didn't take long for Du Dian to plan the wet sand under the green grass. After he continued to plan for half a meter, he finally saw the water source. However, the water source was extremely rare and mixed with sand.
"How can this be taken?" Macon was a little dumbfounded.
Du Di'an did not speak, shook the jacket that had previously beaten the yellow scale snake, jumped down and took out a water mixed with sand, put it in the jacket, then twisted the jacket, and connected it with the mouth, quickly, along the jacket The water filtered by the wool ran down as he continued to tighten the jacket.
After thirsty for an afternoon, this simple filtered water is simply delicious.
Even drinking a few mouthfuls, Du Di'an did not continue, but licked his lips with water, then climbed up and said: "You don't drink too much at one time, just keep the basic consumption of the body."
The eyes of the three men in the eyes of Macon reveal the color of admiration, learn Du Di'an's method, hold the sand mixed with water into his coat, filter and drink.
"This grass root should be able to eat." Du Di'an pulled out the green grass, looked at the grass roots covered with wet soil, kneaded the wet soil above, and broke it, seeing that there was no coloring juice inside. Immediately bite one with your mouth, gently chew it, faintly sweet in your mouth, and a little bit of oysters, he chewed and swallowed.
The Macon trio saw Du Dian chewed with gusto, and also cut off the grass roots to eat.
"so bitter!"
"It's so bad!"
Zach and Sham grinned, but they chewed and swallowed.
Du Dian looked at the sky and said: "Let's stay here tonight. You will cook some firewood and burn the fire at night. In addition, the four of us will take turns on duty every night. Who is the first to come first today, to be on duty first. Go to sleep and add some spirit."
Macon said: "I am coming tonight, if you go to sleep, we don't know what to do."
Du Dian nodded. "Then go to rest, Zach goes to the dry wood, and Shamu builds a shelter with me and finds some stones." With his arrangement, several people began to get busy.
......
......
On the outer edge of the desert, there is a lonely pub.
Under the erosion of sand, the pub was broken, and the windows and doors were repeatedly repaired by wooden boards. At this moment, two men and a woman were sitting in the pub and drinking iced wheat beer.
"You said, how many people in the 360 people can live tonight?" Chris used the dagger to gently slap the ice in the wooden cup and smiled.
Tobbe smiled lightly and said: "Absolutely more than you think."
"Is it?" Claire raised her eyebrows and said, "Would you like to make a bet?"
"How to gamble?" Tob was interested.
"How many people can stay after ten days of gambling." Chris blinked. "I bet two hundred."
Tob smiled and said: "Then I will bet three hundred."
"Oh?" Chris squinted at him. "I seem to have confidence in your students, but this time you lost."
Tob, after drinking the beer in his cup, said indifferently: "How come?"
"Giggle..." Chris chuckled her lips and said: "Don't you know that this desert was a decade ago, but the territory of the Ryan family, which was one of the six most prosperous places in the business district. However, it was destroyed by the evil alchemist. Not only did the Ryan family be destroyed, but this territory was also completely desertified under the evil power of the alchemist and became a forbidden place."
Tob said indifferently: "This point, I knew it ten years ago, because I was there."
Chris giggled and said: "But you don't know, the evil alchemist was killed by the Holy See, but now other alchemists think that there is still the evil left by the alchemist in this desert. Power, quietly gathered here, do not know, their little movements have long been seen in the eyes of the Holy See."
Tob's face suddenly changed. "What do you mean?!"
"This time the Holy See is preparing to get rid of the alchemists here, but they are hidden. If they send a bright knight to come, it will inevitably cause suspicion. Therefore, as usual, it is still used as a place for scavengers. Bait, to lure them, believe that the alchemists, will never miss such a good opportunity!" Chris smiled.
