Chapter 420: Finding Qin Ming
“Of course not.”
Chu Luo didn’t expect there to be so few Heaven-and-Earth pouches in this world. Luckily, she had encountered one.
Third Master Sun didn’t ask further. He laughed in relief and said, “Little Chu, since you have so much water here, I’m relieved. The sand hit my face last night. I’ll go wash up too.”
He prepared to be extravagant and use a bowl of water to wet the towel thoroughly.
As he left, he remembered that Chu Luo had said that she had left Li Yan some water and said in a complicated tone, “Li Yan, don’t pour the water after you wash up later. Leave it for everyone to wash their hands.
In the desert, water was more precious than gold. Everyone conserved water as much as they could. Other than drinking a mouthful or two because they were too thirsty, they didn’t even have enough to wash their faces or wash their hands. It was good to have water to wash everyone’s hands before eating.
When she heard this, Chu Luo said, “I’ll give them another bucket of clean water.”
Third Master Sun immediately looked at her as if she was a prodigal. “Water is so important in the desert. Regardless of whether it’s enough, we have to conserve it.”
“Alright.”
While they were putting away the tent, Li Yan sent people out to investigate. Even Sun Tianhao brought people out.
They returned after they had put away the tent.
Still nothing.
Everyone started to leave after breakfast.
Li Yan and the Sun family were both here to look for those missing people and weren’t in a hurry to walk towards the tomb. Since Chu Luo had enough water here, Third Master Sun and Li Yan discussed.
“Why don’t we return to the edge of the quicksand to look for them? Since we saw that corpse in the quicksand, we might be able to find some clues at the edge.”
Li Yan thought for a while in silence and said, “We might as well wait at the Loulan Ancient Capital. That’s the only way to get to the ancient tomb. As long as these people are still alive, they will definitely go there.”
Sun Tianhao agreed with Li Yan’s suggestion. “The edge of the quicksand is such a big aera. If we really go around it, we might not be able to finish walking for a few days.”
Lu Feng added, “The edge of the quicksand isn’t clear. When we get there, we might enter the region again.”
Hearing this, Third Master Sun gave up on this idea.
Everyone started walking towards the legendary Loulan Ancient Kingdom.
The day passed quickly. At around seven in the afternoon, everyone stopped and prepared to find a place to camp and rest.
Sun Tianhao pointed at the sand dune that looked like a hill. “Why don’t we set up a tent over there? That hill seems high. Maybe it can block the cold wind at night.”
The further they went into the desert, the colder it became. Especially at night, even if they slept in their sleeping bags, they couldn’t feel hot air.
The others didn’t object.
Lu Feng and Wang Ming, who were walking side-by-side, suddenly looked at each other.
Chu Luo noticed and asked, “Is there anything strange about that sand dune?”
Lu Feng hesitated for a moment before saying, “There are usually many worms in that kind of sand dune, but we brought medicine to prevent these worms from approaching. It’s not a bad idea to go over there, but Mrs. Li, don’t be frightened when you see it.”
Before Chu Luo could say anything, Sun Tianhao added, “With Chu Luo’s guts, why would she be afraid of a mere worm?”
Chu Luo smiled at him. “Indeed, I’m not afraid. I still have to protect you when the time comes.”
Sun Tianhao choked and subconsciously retorted, “Are you looking down on me? It’s just a small worm. How can I be afraid? What a joke.”
Sun Tianhao quickly realized that there were more than a few worms. Looking at the densely packed worms that had turned the sand dune into black color, not only did Sun Tianhao have goosebumps on his arms, but the others also had goosebumps.
“Why are there so many worms on this sand dune?” Chu Luo felt that something was wrong. She gestured to everyone. “Don’t get close to that side first.”
With that, she walked over.
Lu Feng quickly called out to her from behind, “Mrs. Li, don’t go over. It’s too strange that this kind of sand dune is filled with worms. This is the first time I’ve seen it. Maybe there’s something terrifying in the sand dune.”
Chu Luo waved at him and was about to go over.
A large hand grabbed her arm.
“Let’s go over together.”
Chu Luo glanced at Li Yan and nodded.
The two of them quickly walked towards the sand dune.
The closer they got to the sand dune, the more carefully they looked.
There were sand rats, lizards, scorpions, rattlesnakes, ants, sesame snakes, and countless others.
It made their scalps numb.
“Why are there so many worms?”
As Li Yan spoke, he subconsciously pulled Chu Luo to his side.
Chu Luo looked at the worms on it and thought for a while. She said to Li Yan, “There must be something strange about this situation. Let’s find a way to see what’s underneath these worms.”
Li Yan nodded.
Chu Luo took out a pill, crushed it, and quickly threw it at them.
The medicinal powder instantly dispersed in the wind.
The worms fainted.
Li Yan took out his thin whip and quickly swung it a few times at a spot on the sand dune. The unconscious worms were thrown to the side.
After he finished sweeping away all the worms, there was actually a layer of red below.
Like blood.
Chu Luo glanced at it and said to Li Yan, “Stand here, no… retreat a little. The sand below is too strange. It might be poisonous.”
Li Yan nodded and took two steps back.
Chu Luo walked over and stood in front of the sand dune. She looked up at the sand dune that was at least seven to eight meters tall and took out a small bead from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch.
The small bead exploded as it was thrown on the sand.
An invisible barrier blocked the blood sand, and a dark hole appeared.
Nothing terrifying escaped from the hole, but someone suddenly jumped out.
After that person darted out, he was originally waving his fist. When he saw that the person standing there was Chu Luo, he quickly retracted his fist.
“Miss Chu.”
“Qin Ming.”
Both of them spoke at the same time.
At this moment, Li Yan had already walked over.
“Master.”
A trace of excitement appeared on Qin Ming’s expressionless face.
Li Yan sized him up and heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’re fine.”
At this moment, Qin Ming had a stubble and a thin face. Other than his eyes that were still dazzling and his body still emitting that familiar domineering aura, he seemed to have become a different person.
Li Yan asked, “Why are you here? Where are the others?”
“When we entered the quicksand area, we encountered a very strong quicksand activity. Everyone was swept away. When I woke up, I was already at the edge of the quicksand. I walked northwest. When I got here, I really couldn’t walk anymore. I relied on the animals and blood here to support myself.
I don’t know where the others were swept away by the quicksand. ”
When Chu Luo heard this, she deliberately glanced at his lips. Indeed, his lips were especially red. It was obviously the color of blood.
She asked, “What’s going on with these animals? Why are there so many of them?”
“I’m not sure either. In the beginning, I only caught a few sand rats to drink their blood and eat their flesh. Later on, so many animals crawled over from all directions. There were too many coming from behind. There were also many poisonous creatures, so I carried out a massacre.
Unexpectedly, after the massacre, not only did the number of animals not decrease, but they even increased in number. Luckily, I still have the medicine you gave me before. I smeared the medicine on my body and dug a hole in this sand dune.
“These worms didn’t dare to approach me and didn’t leave. In the end, they ended up like this.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and guessed, “It’s possible that their blood attracted other animals, or that these animals have a special ability to summon their own kind.”
Qin Ming nodded.
Li Yan looked at Qin Ming and said, “Go wash up and change your clothes first.”
After saying that, he raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
When the people standing more than ten meters away saw the man Chu Luo and the others had brought over, the Sun father-and-son duo was shocked. Lu Feng and Wang Ming were frightened by the blood aura on his body and subconsciously took a step back.
When the bodyguards Li Yan brought saw him, they all greeted him in surprise, “Boss, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Li Yan gestured to everyone. “Set up a tent here. There are too many worms over there.”
The moment he spoke, everyone started moving.
After setting up one of the tents, Chu Luo gave Qin Ming a bucket of water.
When Qin Ming saw the water, he opened the lid and gulped down a fifth before walking into the tent.
A bodyguard immediately sent him some clothes that fit him.
Chu Luo gave a bodyguard another packet of medicinal powder and said to him, “After all the tents are set up, you and a few others can go and scatter the medicinal powder around the tent.”
The bodyguard immediately took the powder.
