Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 48 Huge tooth marks

I threw Old Smoke on my back and carried it back to the tent. Fortunately, Viper and Yu Chengze seemed to be in peace.

"What happened to him?" the poisonous snake asked worriedly.

I said with a dark face that he actually ran to eat Chi Mao's corpse, so I couldn't bear it anymore, so I fought him, beat him unconscious, and carried him back.

"How could this be?" The poisonous snake frowned.

I shook my head and said that now I can only tie him up first, as long as nothing happens to him.

At this time, Yu Chengze suddenly said, "Why is he wet all over?"

I thumped in my heart, thinking that I had discovered something, but I still said with a blank face: "Why, you are not allowed to hold him in the water? If there is no water, I really can't handle him."

After I finished speaking, I ignored Yu Chengze and tied Lao Yan tightly.In order to be realistic, I deliberately tied the rope stronger than yesterday, and told the poisonous snake to keep an eye on him.

But after giving instructions, I realized that it was actually because I didn't pay attention to Lao Yan that I let him escape, and I was a little embarrassed.Fortunately, the poisonous snake didn't bother with me, but nodded seriously.

After tossing and tossing all morning, I finally felt a little more relaxed. After eating some dry food, I changed to the poisonous snake to rest.

"Your name is Chang'an?"

Just after the poisonous snake fell asleep, Yu Chengze suddenly came over.

I glanced at him vigilantly: "Why, why did Professor Yu suddenly remember to ask me for my name?"

"Hehe, I just think you are very promising." He said something vaguely, seeing that I didn't mean to answer, he didn't want to make fun of himself, but said that he was going out for a while.

I asked him where he was going?
"Go to the river, what, you want to go with me?" Yu Chengze looked at me with a half-smile.

I knew he was going to check on the situation, so I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but I still smiled: "I've been tossing around all morning, I don't want to run anymore, go by yourself."

Yu Chengze seemed a little surprised, but he went out without saying anything.

After making sure that Yu Chengze was far away, I patted Lao Yan, and I didn't strike so hard. He woke up halfway, and he opened his eyes after I slapped him: "He left?"

"Well, I should go to see the situation by the river. What should I do? Will he find out?" I was a little nervous. If Yu Chengze found out, I didn't know what to do.

Lao Yan was also a little uncertain, so he only said that it probably wouldn't happen.

I was still frowning, and Lao Yan smiled: "If you find it, you will find it, and it's not a big deal."

He analyzed that if we didn't find out that we were just staring secretly, if we really found out, we should turn from the dark to the bright, and pay more attention in the future.

Hearing what he said, I felt a little relieved. Anyway, we discovered Yu Chengze's method by mistake this time. It doesn't work and we are not afraid. At least we are on guard!
Yu Chengze came back very quickly this time, and it was impossible to tell from his face whether he had noticed anything, but judging from his subsequent actions, he should have known.

Now that he already knew, there was no need for Lao Yan to act again, and he recovered when he found the right time, which made the poisonous snake stunned.

After resting in place for three days, the blind man woke up, and the first thing he did was beg for water with a hoarse voice.

The poisonous snake fed him a few sips of water before he recovered and asked where are we now?

"It's near the oasis, we can't go if you're injured." The poisonous snake replied.

The blind man nodded slightly, and then fell asleep again.

In the following time, he would wake up from time to time. Although his condition was still not good, it could be seen that he was recovering a little bit.This made us breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the poisonous snake didn't say anything, we also knew that he didn't have the confidence to save the blind man. After all, the latter was seriously injured and the environment in the desert was not good.Fortunately, the blind man survived and was able to get up and walk around by himself on the third day.

"His injury is almost healed, can he go?"

After resting in place for three or four days, Yu Chengze finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Lao Yan agreed to Yu Chengze's request after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the blind man. Several people tidied up before starting to hurry.At first, we thought about filling up the water before leaving, but we gave up when we thought about those bugs. Fortunately, there is still enough water left, and we should be able to persist until the next water source if we save some drinking.

When the Chimao incident happened, we were even more on guard against Yu Chengze, but he didn't care, he still went his own way, and only expressed his opinion when there was a deviation from the route.

"How long is it?" I wiped the sweat off my face, and there was still an endless desert all around, which always made me feel hopeless that I couldn't get out no matter how I walked.

Lao Yan glanced at Yu Chengze, then shook his head: "I don't know, logically we should be nearby."

I scratched my hair irritably, looked to the side of the blind man, and asked him if he could persist.

Although his injury recovered well, running around for days is not a good thing for an injured patient.

He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, then glanced around, and said in a strange tone that he felt that the surrounding life was getting heavier and heavier!

"That should be coming soon." I was a little uneasy after hearing his words, but Lao Yan became excited. Only after hearing his explanation did I know that the blind man is very sensitive to things like ancient tombs, and can feel things that ordinary people can't feel.

click...

Walking well, I suddenly stepped on something and made a crisp sound.I jumped and quickly jumped aside, only to see a corpse faintly under the yellow sand.

"Pick it up and have a look." Lao Yan's expression changed, and I hurried over to push the yellow sand away, revealing the clues of the things underneath.

There were two dry corpses on the ground, their heads had turned into white bones, but the flesh on their bodies was still there, covered with a layer of mucus, but the mucus had also dried up and mixed with the corpses, looking very nausea!

Seeing such corpses, my first reaction was that they seemed to be swallowed by something, and then spit them out again...

Although this idea is absurd, I think it is not impossible in this weird desert.

"Is this what you sent out before?"

Seeing Lao Yan's expression, I asked a question.

He hummed, and said that judging from the attire on the corpses, it was indeed another team of vanguards. At first, he was taking chances, but now looking at the conditions of the two corpses, it is estimated that there is no hope for the others to survive.

"This corpse is too strange!"

The poisonous snake squatted next to the corpse, turned the corpse over with gloves on, and said that there was no wound on the corpse, only a layer of dried mucus. It seemed that the mucus was blocking breathing and suffocated to death.

The blind man shook his head and said, "They were eaten..."

"What?" The poisonous snake suddenly raised its head, and then said disapprovingly, how is it possible, if it was eaten, how could the body be intact?
I am very interested in what he said, because it coincides with my thoughts.

The blind man stroked the head of the corpse with his hand and said: "It's not complete, this head didn't turn into bones later."

We naturally understand what he means-these two people have their heads eaten!
The poisonous snake's face changed drastically, and he held the mummy's head with his hand and looked at it for a while before nodding his head: "You are right, there are faint tooth marks on the skull, looking at the tooth marks, it must be a big thing..."

Then he pointed out the tooth mark to us, and saw that this tooth mark took up half of the skull, and it looked like a dented piece of the skull, no wonder the poisonous snake ignored it just now.This thing doesn't look too much like a tooth mark. If it weren't for the blind man, I would only think it was a scar on the skull.

"It must be a big thing to have such big teeth." I murmured.

No one could answer this question for me, everyone looked at the corpse and fell silent for a while.

Lao Yan didn't speak, and looked for clues around the corpse in silence. After a long while, he shook his head and said nothing remained.

The blind man nodded at the head of the corpse and said, "Everything they left is inside."

"Stop playing charades at this time, tell me, what did you find?" Lao Yan said helplessly.

The blind man shook his head: "It's hard to say now, I just don't think the things that killed them can survive in the desert."

"Huh?" I became interested and asked him why.He glanced at me with his white eyes and explained that there are very few large animals in the desert. First, there is no place to build a nest. Second, the larger the body, the more water is generally needed. In the desert It is difficult for large animals to find enough water in this environment, which is why camels are so precious.

I said disapprovingly: "But the things on this road can't all be speculated according to common sense."

If he said this when I entered the desert, I would definitely take it seriously, but after experiencing so many unimaginable monsters, I don't quite believe it.

The blind man smiled: "Indeed, but all the monsters you have encountered along the way meet the standard of living in the desert, don't they?"

I wanted to say something else, but Lao Yan nodded: "Look at the tooth marks, this thing is probably bigger than a camel, it is really difficult to survive in the desert, so..."

"So it might be something from the ancient country." The blind man concluded.

Although I knew the atmosphere was not right, I rubbed my hands excitedly: "So, the ancient country is nearby?"

After walking for so long, I finally arrived at my destination, and I couldn't restrain my excitement at all.
