There was no need for others to say more. Looking at the eyes of these sand slaves, the others knew what to do.
This was indeed a good place to rest, but when resting, they could not take it lightly. The first thing to guard against was these sand slaves.
There were only some walls of different heights and there was no roof. The blowing wind was dry and dusty. As the sky gradually darkened, the surrounding temperature also plummeted. Even the three people of the Yanjiao tribe, who had adapted to the cold winter, felt goosebumps all over their bodies. They were not cold, but they always felt a sense of chill.
"Let's eat something first, and then we will take turns to watch the night." Shao Xuan said.
A piece of cake was broken, and the three people shared it with a little dried meat and water.
The other people in the team also ate in a similar way. The people of each tribe gathered together. At this time, the people of their own tribe were naturally much more reliable.
Shao Xuan looked at the camel that followed him. This guy was very smart. He knew to follow Shao Xuan and avoid other people, especially the sand slaves. At this time, it was chewing a plant that looked like a dead tree root growing in the corner, eating with relish.
The eyes of those sand slaves swept around the people in the team, and then stopped at Mud, who was chewing, with greed in their eyes.
The sand slave closest to Mud finally could not help it. Sand Slave, who had dark skin, seemed to be covered with a layer of protection in the night. He held a sharpened bone spur and rushed out like a predator in the night.
Although his ultimate goal was the camel, the first thing he had to deal with was Shao Xuan next to the camel.
There were no other unnecessary movements, everything was only the pursuit of speed! Accurate! Ruthless! Enough to kill with one blow.
If Shao Xuan were to be pierced by the bone spur, his chest would be pierced through. No matter how strong a totem warrior was, he would not be able to escape the fate of being pierced to death.
There was no fire on Shao Xuan's side. Under the moonlight, Shao Xuan saw the serrated patterns on the sand slave's body, which was different from the slaves he had seen before. When he saw Shao Xuan, the slaves over there had chain-like patterns, not serrated.
So, these slaves belonged to different slave owners?
Sand Slave's eyes reflected the cold moonlight, with a hint of bloodthirsty excitement, as if he wanted to immediately hook a piece of meat from the other side. Perhaps he thought that he would be able to get rid of these extra people very quickly and then monopolize the camel.
Puff!
The sound of his body being penetrated was particularly clear at this moment.
The expression on Sha Nu's face froze. Not only did he fail to stab his target, but he also suffered a sudden sharp pain.
The stone saber had a powerful penetrating force, like a fierce beast, and fiercely pierced into Sha Nu's body, and then easily sent him flying.
Bang –
Sha Nu, who was sent flying, fell to the ground and lost his breath.
Shao Xuan waved the stone saber in his hand, shook off the blood on his body, inserted it into the sand in front of him, and then looked up at the group of sand slaves over there.
Several sand slaves saw the people who did not get up after falling to the ground. There were no expressions of surprise or fear on their faces, just curiosity and sizing them up. It seemed that they were re-evaluating Shao Xuan's fighting power and the threat of this team.
Among the group of sand slaves, there were several strong people. They were not as thin as other sand slaves. No other sand slaves approached within two steps of them. They glanced at Huang Ye and others, and then continued to do their own things. They skewered an unknown creature on the bone saber and roasted it on the fire. Because there was limited firewood in this place, the fire that could be ignited was not big, and the fire was also limited. Some of the meat was not roasted, but they still ate it. When they bit, they also brought out some animal viscera and blood.
"That should be a higher-level slave, right?" Tuo asked Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan nodded, "You sleep first, Lei and I will keep watch."
Because of such a disadvantageous situation, Shao Xuan decided that two people would keep watch at night, one person would sleep, and then take turns to rest. Two people were safer than one person. The threat of these slaves was too great.
No wonder the people in the tribe were so afraid of slaves. They didn't take the lives of their companions seriously, so they didn't have to worry too much.
Shao Xuan went to the sand wall and sat down. Some sand was piled up at the foot of the wall. Shao Xuan stabbed it with the stone saber and found something. The tip of the saber lifted some sand, and Shao Xuan saw a white bone. The first thing that was exposed was the skull.
The evening wind blew the sand away, and more and more parts of the skull were exposed.
Shao Xuan looked at the crack on the skull, which seemed to be caused by a sharp weapon. It was not that Shao Xuan had stabbed it with a saber. The crack on the skull had been there for a long time.
Looking carefully at the wound on the skull, Shao Xuan picked up the skull and gave it to Lei, "Look."
Lei was staring at the sand slaves fiercely. Compared to those sand slaves, whose eyes were more ruthless, he heard Shao Xuan's words. He retracted his gaze and took the skull. He was not afraid of these, and directly took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Lei had followed the hunters since he was a child. He was very familiar with the wounds caused by the beasts. He could distinguish which ones were man-made and which ones were injured by other beasts. Seeing the long crack on the skull, Lei's eyes flashed, and his vigilance became stronger. He no longer paid all his attention to the sand slaves, but divided a part of his attention to the surroundings.
Compared with other people in the team, the people of Yanjiao knew the least about this desert. After all, they had no elders to tell them the details, so they could only judge based on their own experience. Don't expect the people of other tribes in the team to tell you much. At this time, they must first take care of their own tribe, and will not pay attention to Shao Xuan, let alone talk about other things.
The wound on the skull was caused by a beast's claw, which was very fast and sharp. Maybe the beast that killed the man was not big, but it could make fast and fierce attacks, so it must be guarded against.
From the bone of the skull, it could be seen that the strength of the deceased was at least at the level of a junior totem warrior, maybe even higher. In any case, they had to be more careful.
Because Qu Ce and others were curious, Shao Xuan threw the skull to them and let them see more.
Shao Xuan and the other two took turns to watch the night, and the others did the same. The sand slaves also attacked them, but it was more like a test. They tested one by one, and then picked the worst attack.
Because there was no more firewood added to the fire, it soon went out, and only the moonlight cast in the sky was left. Some tribes in warm areas were wrapped in two layers of animal skins at this time, because they were not used to such cold.
Huang Ye and several elders looked at the people in the team, and finally their eyes fell on the three people of the Yanjiao tribe. As warriors who participated in this kind of long journey for the first time, the three people of the Yanjiao tribe were the fastest to adapt.
At night, they tested and fought again and again. Every once in a while, there was always a sound, maybe it was the sound of weapons clashing, or the sound of being chopped and fought.
There was more and more blood around, and some insects living under the sand were attracted by the blood. They crawled out and sucked the flesh and blood in the sand. If they were not full, they would target other creatures.
Shao Xuan could always hear the sound of the camel's hooves stepping on the ground. When he looked over, several insects had been trampled to death by the camel's feet. Then, the camel ate all these insects.
Shao Xuan didn't know if other camels were like this, but this one didn't seem to avoid meat and vegetables. This was also good, because it was easy to raise.
The next day, when the sun came out, the sand slaves had left, and the dead sand slaves were left behind. Not long after, they became white bones again.
