Sapphire is enslaved by Shao Xuan, and the breath on Sapphire is somewhat similar to Shao Xuan. After all, its power comes from Shao Xuan, and it is the power in Sapphire that attracts the swarm. Maybe this kind of breath may not be able to be distinguished by others, but those The little beetles are recognizable. They won't hurt Shao Xuan, and even Shao Xuan can ask Sapphire to order them to do certain things.
These slightly larger beetles, when the sapphire slept, carried insects everywhere for food. Compared with other small beetles, they were not only different in size, they were stronger and smarter.
However, even if they are smart, they are only similar to ordinary beasts. Even sapphire cannot make them execute very complex commands. However, simple commands can still be done, such as guiding the guards away just now, or, for example, in Dig holes in the sand with other bugs.
Shao Xuan and others followed Sapphire all the way to find this small town, just because a large area around the town is relatively flat and there is nowhere to hide, and the purpose of their trip is to save people, not to fight the sand thieves directly, even if they want to fight, You have to wait until you save people before you fight.
So, they made another plan.
Sapphire took Shao Xuan underground, because Sapphire was too big and easily aroused the vigilance of those sand thieves. Therefore, Sapphire only took Shao Xuan underground and sneaked to the small town for a while, and other beetles were responsible for the following tasks Finish.
I have had the experience of walking under the quagmire. It is more difficult to walk under the sand than in the quagmire. .
Sapphire can determine the general location of the five people in Gongjia's family. Shao Xuan only sensed the specific location of the five people when he came out. He let a beetle distract a guard, and he drilled out of the sand. There are guards on each side of the house, and the guards on this side have been led away just now.
It's no wonder that the beetles like to go underground. During the day, the temperature under the sand is much lower than that on the ground, and there is no need to be exposed to the sun.
This is a courtyard-style structure. There are still some scattered bones in the corners of the courtyard wall. Shao Xuan can identify the bones from the shape. They are human bones, both adults and children.
The house and courtyard walls are relatively short. If Shao Xuan walked outside, people in the courtyard could still see half of his head. Similarly, if Shao Xuan stood up straight in the courtyard and moved, he would be seen by people outside the courtyard walls.
Outside this small courtyard, there are more than a dozen people sitting against the courtyard wall, all concentrated on the shaded side.
Shao Xuan didn't get out of the sand completely, but just exposed his upper body, carefully sensed the surroundings, figured out where people were guarding everywhere, and looked for the target. The five people in Gongjia's family had a distinctly different aura from the other captives, and Shao Xuan was able to determine where those five people were locked up.
Sadly, they're not on that side, but that's okay.
The beetles that climbed out of the ground gathered again and got under the sand. Shao Xuan took a deep breath and sank into the sand.
Not long after Shao Xuan sank, the guard who left came back. He didn't catch the thing underground, he walked over cursingly, sat down, and continued to doze off.
On the other side, in an earthen hut, the five workers from the Jiajia family were all tied up tightly. They used those sturdy vines in the desert. Even though those plants looked shriveled and thin, they were very sturdy. In addition to the injuries, the five people were thirsty, hungry, weak, and had no strength to struggle. They were lying on the ground, surrounded by sand except for the earth wall. The eyes of the five people were open or closed, but none of them fell asleep. I don’t know what they were thinking .
They didn't find the work armor that day, and it didn't take long for them to encounter a team of sand thieves, one of which was their former companion. Their companions brought them here with sand thieves, and only gave them some water so that they would not die immediately.
The people of the Sand Snake asked them to make weapons for the Sand Snake, but they refused, so they were imprisoned here. They just witnessed a scene of a sand thief eating people yesterday. Knowing that the sand thieves can eat people is true, they have actually heard that the tribesmen can eat people, and that the people here are very savage, but, when they really see it, it still has a big impact, and now there are still shadows in their hearts.
If they agreed to the sand thieves and made weapons for the sand thieves, they would be able to live like slaves, and looking at the behavior of the sand snake people, it didn't seem like they would treat them kindly. But if they don't agree, they will become the reserves of the sand thieves.
How to do
Choose to live or die
"I really want to commit suicide." The younger man leaning against the wall muttered with his head lowered.
"It's a good idea, but I'm not reconciled!" Another older man looked up at the leaking roof and sighed helplessly.
Yes, they have all thought about suicide, but they still have some expectations in their hearts. Maybe there is a turning point in things
In the end, they are not reconciled.
No one is willing to die in the desert without creating a famous weapon. If not, how could they have persisted until now
"If we didn't choose to come here..." One person was half-speaking, then fell silent again with a wry smile.
There is no if in this world, if you choose this path, you have to bear any consequences.
Before, they thought about getting out from under the sand, but later found that it was too difficult. With their current physical strength, don't even think about digging the sand to escape, not to mention that their hands and feet are tied, so are the sand thieves Knowing their situation, they would be relieved to tie them and throw them here.
妦妦妦妦—
The sound of fine sand grinding sounded.
"Stop playing with the sand, Xiaoyi, I'm upset!" a man in the corner with his eyes closed complained.
The young man leaning against the wall raised his head with a blank expression on his face, "I didn't play with sand." After he finished speaking, he moved his eyes to the place where the sound came from, and saw that the sand on the sand moved and crawled out of a black beetle.
"There are bugs!" Gongjia called out, his voice not small.
The people guarding outside also heard it, but he didn't care and continued to doze off. There are so many bugs in the desert, scorpions, lizards, etc. are also common, a little bug is a fart!
Inside the house, after a dozen or so palm-length beetles climbed out, they did not approach the people in the house, but waited beside them.
A hand sticks out from under the sand.
The five people who saw this scene took a deep breath and almost cried out. They watched where the beetle had crawled out, and a man gradually emerged from under the sand.
The dumbfounded five people saw such a strange appearance of strangers, and the first thing they thought of when they came back to their senses was, can they be rescued
Shao Xuan glanced at the five people in the house and was satisfied. These people are not stupid enough to call out.
One of them asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Are you here to save us?"
Shao Xuan didn't answer, but asked, "Gong Jiayi, Shi, Red, Shen, Kan?" These are the names of five people, and Gong Jiaren told him.
As soon as Shao Xuan's words came out, the eyes of the five people lit up, and they were about to say something when Shao Xuan raised his palm and pressed it down, signaling them to keep their voices low.
The five hurriedly nodded, the light in their eyes brighter.
Shao Xuan took out a piece of cloth and opened it in the bright place, with the words written by Gongjia Ren on it. The purpose was to tell the five people that Shao Xuan was here to save them and make them believe in Shao Xuan.
With the light cast from above, the five of them could also see the words on the cloth, and they were so excited that they could not wait to cry.
This person, who can come out from under the sand, can also get them out of the sand
Thinking of this, the five suddenly felt that this person was really reliable, and looked forward to Shao Xuan's next actions, because now is not the time to talk too much, the more talk, the greater the possibility of being discovered, so they just Just believe in Shao Xuan, there is a cloth strip with tough armor, they don't have to doubt others.
Shao Xuanchao walked over to the closest person to cut the vines for him, and waved to the others, signaling them to move over.
The five people were full of joy, but soon, they felt that the development of things seemed to be different from what they imagined - wait, I understand the reason, but, brother, why did you untie us and tie us? !
Yes, after Shao Xuan untied the vines for the five people, he connected the vines to tie the five people. Not only that, he also used the rope he carried to reinforce it to make sure that none of the five people would easily fall off. down.
The five of them all looked at Shao Xuan with the same puzzled eyes, not understanding what Shao Xuan meant by doing this.
Shao Xuan wanted to directly let the beetles help transport these five people out, but those little beetles would not eat Shao Xuan, so he was not sure about others. Don't know if you can control these bugs precisely, so don't take the risk when there are other ways. Shao Xuan also didn't want only the skeletons left when the five people were dragged out of the sand.
After tying it up, Shao Xuan gave instructions to Sapphire underground outside the small town to carry out the next step.
A hundred meters away from the small town, a sand flow suddenly erupted, and the sand flow shot up like a water column and fell again.
That is a signal.
Shao Xuan looked at the sky outside from the gap in the roof. After seeing the figure in the sky, he fell into the sand again, leaving the five people tied together in the room, looking at each other.
It wasn't long before a scream came to mind somewhere outside. It seemed that something happened over there, and the guards all went over there.
Shao Xuan reappeared in the room, picked up the five people who were tied together, and split the place where the door made of thorny plants was tied with a knife. In order to make it easier for the sand thieves to get in and out, the door here is relatively large, enough for Shao Xuan to drag five people out.
The guards were led away by the screams over there, and even the guards outside the courtyard turned their attention there. Therefore, no one else was seen at the door of the house here.
The five still didn't understand what Shao Xuan wanted to do, until Shao Xuan picked them up, threw them into the air like a ball, and threw them vigorously...
The ground quickly moved away, and the small courtyard where the prisoners were held shrank rapidly in their field of vision. The five even felt that their heartbeats had stopped at this moment, and their minds were blank for a moment.
Above, a figure whizzed past, and the five people tied together were also taken to the distance.
