Chapter 416

Hicks seemed to guess what Yu Nan was thinking, and continued: “The sand bandits are about the same as the horse bandits, but the sand bandits are different.”

Seeing Yu Nan with a puzzled look, he paused, and explained with a smile: “In Alabasta, there are currently dozens of ‘sand thieves’, large and small, and the means of transportation are not horses and camels.

It’s a device similar to a ship that can travel quickly in the desert.”

Yu Nan was very interested, “Oh?! This is interesting, I really want to see if I have the opportunity.”

“Brother Yu Nan, I advise you not to have such thoughts!”

“How to say?”


“Although most sand thieves are composed of refugees who cannot survive, they only ask for food, water, and goods, but there are a few exceptions. Among them, there are very fierce ones who kill people without blinking.

They both robbed money and killed themselves, and sometimes even the supplies of the rebels and the king’s army would be robbed. ”

Yu Nan was surprised: “So fierce?”

“Yes, the most powerful group of sand thieves is called the’Barubaru’ sand thieves. It is said that it has been established for more than ten or twenty years. It is regarded as the originator of the Alabasta sand thieves.

No one knows their lair, and they use the desert as their home when they go out. ”



At this time, someone came over to report to Hicks, “Boss, everything has been cleaned up, do you have anything else to explain?”

Hicks stopped talking, smiled apologetically at Yu Nan, followed the man walking over, and gave orders to the brigade. After a while, he raised his hand and announced his departure.

Yu Nan followed the team, Hicks called a few camels, and everyone put their luggage on it, which was a lot easier.

The journey in the desert is completely different from the sea.

In Yu Nan’s eyes, there were yellow sand everywhere, and the rolling sandbars and Gobi filled the vast expanse of land.

The sun hung high in the sky, passionate and hot, the sun basked on the sand without any shade, and countless heat could be seen to the naked eye, and everyone seemed to be in a fire.



It was the first time for Yu Nan and others to see such a desolate, vast desert. They couldn’t help feeling refreshed, but after walking for more than three hours, once the freshness passed, they all felt boring and monotonous, and the water loss in the body was rapid, and the physical strength was also great. Consume faster and more than usual.

Fortunately, the doctor Harvey was there and prepared in advance. Everyone drank plenty of water before setting off, so that the body could store as much water as possible. After entering the desert, they also drank water frequently and frequently.

Even if you don’t feel thirsty or don’t want to drink, you sip or hold it in your mouth.

After another hour of walking, the wind suddenly became stronger, and countless grains of sand were mixed in the howling wind, and Yu Nan gradually fell to the end, only to ensure that there was a camel team in sight.

For one thing, everyone is really not adapted to the desert environment and walks very slowly. Secondly, Yu Nan did it deliberately and only arranged for Krabatel to follow Hicks.

Before departure, Jessica found that there were probably arms in the sacks. Yu Nan was more wary of Hicks and didn’t want to be in it. The escorts were always cautious when looking at their eyes.

It is inconvenient for a few people at home to speak, so everyone simply keeps a distance and does not interfere with each other.

“No way, it’s too hot,” Jessica took off her veil and rolled up her sleeves.

Harvey quickly persuaded: “Jessica, put it on quickly, you will get burned like this!”

“The temperature is almost fifty degrees Celsius. If you wear such a thick layer, you will get angry if you don’t pass it for a while.”

Although Harvey has never been to the desert, as a doctor, he knows the relevant common sense very well, and said seriously to Jessica: “The sunshine in the desert is different from the sea. If you expose yourself to the sun like this, your skin will be ruined.”

“You are scary, sister, I wear sunscreen! Humph!”

Yu Nan also wore long robes and trousers, and they were sweaty. After hearing Jessica’s words, Yu Nan deliberately scared her: “Little girl, don’t you see that our big men are covered tightly? You want to disfigure words. , Just feel free…”

The girl cares about looks the most. Jessica was taken aback, put on her clothes and veil, and complained: “This damn weather, when will it end.”

Yu Nan looked at the elder camel team ahead, and said to several people: “Hold on, listen to Hicks, because it is a detour, so the journey is a bit farther, but you can arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.”

At this time, Hicks rode over on a camel and said to Yu Nan, “Little Brother Yu Nan, you can keep up. It’s dangerous to get lost in the desert.”

“Thank you Hicks boss for caring. We are just a little weaker, and the speed is naturally slower. Don’t worry, isn’t Krabatl with you? I won’t be lost.”

Hicks nodded and asked if he needed water and food. Yu Nan had enough preparations at home, so he politely declined. Hicks told a few more words. Just about to go back, there was a commotion in front of the camel team.

Hicks opened his eyes and looked into the distance. Seven or eight kilometers away, the sand was rolling, and many small black spots were approaching quickly. The sound of ‘Shusha’ could be heard from such a distance.

Using his eyesight, Yu Nan discovered that there were dozens of things like small sailboats, all with sails like sails. They were very windy and could not only glide on the sand.

When encountering a small sand dune, he actually took advantage of the terrain difference and flew directly in the air to produce the effect of gliding. In just such a short time, he had traveled two or three kilometers and was closer to the camel team.

“Wow, it looks like a boat!” Jessica widened her eyes in surprise.

Harvey also opened his mouth: “It’s just like a boat, but how can there be a boat sailing in the desert? True evil!”

Charlie stood directly on the back of the camel and looked at him, and he was amazed, but Akin subconsciously felt that something was wrong and stood in front of a few people.

“Sad!” Hicks’ face changed drastically. He ignored the explanation to Yu Nan and said to be careful. He rushed to the camel squad and shouted, “It’s the sand thief, get together. End up!”

In the dust of the sky, dozens of ‘sand sleds’ glide quickly, like lightning.

These sand sleds are the “small sailboats” that Yu Nan and the others saw, and they are the iconic means of transportation for the “sand thieves”.

The sand sled can travel freely in the desert. Its propelling force is similar to that of a sea boat. It is very flexible and easy to change direction by relying solely on sails and wind.

Sometimes, it can even turn at a 90-degree right angle, but the sailing hand is very demanding, not only requires skilled skills, but also has extraordinary arm strength and waist and abdomen strength.

Each sand sled can carry two to three people, and no more than four people at most. After all, the size is small, plus its own weight, if the weight is too large, the speed cannot be guaranteed.

And if you travel in the desert, if you don’t leave enough space to carry supplies, the consequences will be disastrous.

The driving skills of this group of ‘sand thieves’ are very proficient. Most sand sleds are controlled by a team of two. One is responsible for sailing, and the other is responsible for observing the enemy’s situation and preparing to fight with weapons.
