The Dark King
Chapter 20 Alchemist
At this moment, a gray shadow flashed in vain, hitting the yellow scale snake and knocking it down on the sand.
"Run!" Du Dean growled.
Macon recovered and hurriedly ran.
Du Di'an looked at the yellow scale snake that was chasing him and twisted his body. He turned and ran without turning his head. At the same time, he clenched his hands into a thick coat of rope, which was able to shoot down the yellow scale snake. .
Whoosh!
Du Dean soon surpassed Macon and ran to the forefront. His endurance training long-distance performance was the first in the bedroom.
After running hundreds of meters, Du Dean looked back, but saw that the yellow scale snake had lost its trail behind the last Macon. It should be known that this hunting failed, so he gave up decisively.After all, animals that survive in such a harsh environment tend to like the hunting method that must be hit in one hit, and it is undoubtedly the stupidest hunting method to consume physical strength to hunt down prey.
Du Di'an breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't run away, no chase."
Macon and Sha and Zha froze for a moment, only to notice that the yellow scale snake in the rear did not continue to chase, and immediately sighed with relief. At the next moment, several people only felt deeply tired and rushed into their hearts. Thirsty and hot.
"Frightened me." Zach patted the chest with a shudder.
"Take a break, I'm exhausted." Sharm gasped.
Macon was a little shocked. Hearing the words of the two, he suddenly looked up at Du Dean. He gritted his teeth slightly and said to Du Dean: "Dean, you saved my life this time, what will happen in the future..."
"Speak less." Du Dian 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 early. We must find the water source as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to hold it tonight." After that, continue to lead the way ahead.
Macon looked at his back, gritted his teeth slightly, and followed.
Zach and Sham looked at each other, recalling the cowardice of the previous hesitation, bowing their heads in shame, saying nothing, and silently following Dudean.
Several people followed the sand road and continued westward. The whole road was full of sand and dry soil. This made Mei, Sha, and Zha wonder if they chose the wrong direction. If they changed directions, they would be able to find it. Water source?
However, with Du Di's insistence, he did not change his direction.
By dusk, several people were almost exhausted, sweating all over their bodies, their faces flushed red, and their speed of travel reduced to one-tenth of the time when they first came to the desert, almost tortoise.
"Found it!" in vain, Du Dean sounded in front of him.
Mei, Sha, and Zha had numb faces, like the corpses of a companion, but when they heard this, they felt as if they had come to life immediately, with hope in their dry eyes.
"Where?" Macon hurriedly said.
Du Dian raised his hand, there was a small soil slope in front, not far from the soil slope, there were some dry green grass and cacti, which are very common plants in the desert.
"Plants are actually plants!!" Mei, Sha and Zha were excited.
There was also a smile on Du Di'an's face, and he said, "Let's plan, there must be water below the plants!" After that, he stepped forward and came to one of the green grasses, and said, "Be careful, There may be something else lurking here."
When the three Macon heard this, the excitement on their faces suddenly cooled and looked around nervously.
It didn't take long for Du Dean to dig out moist sand under the green grass, and after digging for another half-meter, he finally saw the water source, but it was extremely scarce and mixed with sand.
"How can I get this?" The three Macon were dumbfounded.
Du Di'an didn't speak, shook the jacket of the yellow scale snake, jumped out and took out a handful of water mixed with sand, put it in the jacket, and then twisted the jacket and put it under his mouth. Soon, followed the jacket The water filtered by the wool flowed down as he kept tightening his jacket.
After an afternoon of thirst, this simple filtered water is simply delicious.
After taking a few sips, Du Di'an did not continue, but licked his lips with water, and then climbed up, said: "Don't drink too much at once, just keep the basic consumption of the body."
The colors of admiration appeared in the eyes of the three people of Macon, learning Du Dean's method, holding the sand mixed with water into their coats, filtering and drinking.
"This grass root should be able to eat." Du Dean pulled out the green grass, looked at the grass roots covered with wet soil, knead the wet soil above, broke apart, and after seeing that there was no colored juice flowing out, Immediately chewed one with his mouth, chewed it gently, sweetly filled in his mouth, and a little jerky. After chewing carefully, he swallowed it.
The three Macon saw Du Dean chewed and ate the grass roots.
"so bitter!"
"It's terrible!"
Zach and Sham laughed bitterly, but chewed and swallowed.
Du Dian looked at the sky and said, "Let's stay here tonight. You pick up some dry wood and burn fire at night. In addition, the four of us have to take turns on duty every night. Whoever comes first today and the one who is on duty first Go to bed and add some energy."
Macon said: "I'll come tonight, if you go to bed, we don't know what to do."
Du Di'an nodded: "Then take a rest, Zach goes to find dry wood, Sharm and I build a shelter and find some stones." With his arrangement, several people began to get busy.
...
...
On the outer edge of the desert, there is a lonely tavern.
Under the erosion of wind and sand, the tavern was broken, and the windows and doors were repeatedly repaired by wooden boards.At this moment, two figures of a man and a woman were sitting in the tavern, drinking cold wheat beer.
"You said, how many of the three hundred and sixty can survive tonight?" Chris said with a dagger, gently teasing the ice cubes in the wooden pie cup, and said with a smile.
Tobu smiled lightly and said, "Absolutely more than you think."
"Really?" Chris raised her eyebrows and teased: "Would you like to bet?"
"How to gamble?" Tob was interested.
"Just how many people can stay in ten days." Chris narrowed her eyes. "I bet two hundred."
Tobu smiled and said, "Then I will bet 300."
"Oh?" Kris glared at him. "It seems that you have confidence in your students, but this time you lose."
After finishing drinking the beer in his glass, Tob said indifferently: "Why do you see it?"
"Giggle..." Chris smiled with her lips covering her back. "Don't you know that this desert was ten years ago, but it was the territory of the Ryan family. It was one of the six most prosperous places in the business district. However, it was destroyed by the evil alchemist. Not only was the Ryan family destroyed, but this territory was also completely deserted by the evil power of the alchemist and became a forbidden land."
Tob said indifferently: "I knew this ten years ago because I was there."
Kris chuckled and said, "But you don't know that although the evil alchemist was killed by the light of the Holy See, other alchemists today still think that the evil left by the alchemist still exists in this desert. Power, quietly gathered here, as everyone knows, their small movements have long been seen in the eyes of the Holy See."
Torb's face suddenly changed, "What do you mean?"
"This time, the Holy See is going to dispel the alchemists here, but their actions are concealed. If they send the Light Knights in a rush, they will inevitably cause suspicion. Therefore, as usual, this place is still used as a place for scavengers to evaluate. Bait, to lure them, I believe those alchemists will never miss such a good opportunity in vain!" Kris groaned.
