Chapter 20: The Alchemist


At this moment, a gray shadow flashed past, hitting the yellow-scaled snake and knocking it down on the sand.

"Run" Dudian roared.

Macon came to his senses and ran in a hurry.

Dudian looked at the yellow-scaled snake that was twisting and chasing after him.

He turned around and ran away without looking back.

At the same time, he clenched the thick-line jacket twisted into a rope in his hand.

He was able to shoot down the yellow-scaled snake earlier only with the help of the jacket. .

Whoosh Dudian quickly overtook Macon and ran to the front.

His endurance training long-distance running results ranked first in the dormitory.

After running several hundred meters, Dudian looked back and saw that the yellow-scaled snake had lost its trace behind Macon.

He must have known that the hunt had failed, so he gave up decisively.

After all, animals that survive in such a harsh environment often prefer hunting methods that are sure to hit with one hit, and expending physical energy to chase prey is undoubtedly the stupidest hunting method.

Dudian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't run away, I'm not chasing you."

Macon, Sha, and Zha were stunned for a moment.

Then they noticed that the yellow-scaled snake from behind did not continue to chase them.

They immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, they felt deep fatigue rushing into their hearts.

Their whole bodies were sore and their throats were dry.

Thirst and hot.

"It scared me to death."

Zachi patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Take a rest, I'm exhausted."

Shamu gasped.

Macon was a little shocked.

When he heard what the two said, he suddenly looked up at Dudian.

He gritted his teeth slightly and said to Dudian: "Dean, you saved my life this time, what will happen next?"

"Stop talking."

Dudian patted him on the shoulder, "Save your energy and don't stop.

The snake is likely to continue chasing in the sand.

It's not out of its hunting range yet, and it's getting late.

We must find the water source as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to survive tonight."

After that, he continued to lead the way.

Macon looked at his back, gritted his teeth slightly, and followed him.

Zachi and Sham looked at each other, recalling their cowardice when they hesitated before, and lowered their heads in shame, saying nothing, and silently followed Dudian.

Several people continued westward along the sandy road.

The road was full of sand and dry soil.

This made Mei, Sha and Zha wonder whether they had chosen the wrong direction.

If they had changed the direction, they would have been able to find it. water source However, due to Dudian's insistence, the direction was not changed in the end.

By dusk, several people were already dying from exhaustion, their bodies were dripping with sweat, their faces were red from the sun, and their traveling speed had dropped to one-tenth of what it was when they first arrived in the desert, almost moving at a tortuous pace.

"Found it" was in vain, Dudian's voice sounded from the front.

Mei, Sha, and Zha's faces were numb, like zombies.

After hearing these words, they seemed to come to life immediately, and hope burst out of their dry eyes.

"Where is it?"

Macon said hurriedly.

Dudian raised his hand and pointed.

There was a small slope in front of him.

Not far from the slope, there were some dry green grass and cacti, which are very common plants in the desert.

"Plants, they are actually plants."

Mei, Sha and Zha suddenly became excited.

Du Di'an also showed a smile on his face and said: "Let's start digging.

There must be a water source under the plants."

After saying that, he took the lead and came to one of the clusters of green grass to start digging, and said: "Be careful, here There could be something else lurking."

When the three people from Macon heard this, their excitement suddenly cooled down and they looked around nervously.

It didn't take long for Dudian to dig out moist sand under the green grass.

After digging for another half meter, he finally saw the water source.

However, the water source was extremely rare and mixed with sand.

"How can this be done?"

The three people in Macon were a little dumbfounded.

Dudian didn't say anything.

He shook off the coat that he had previously used to whip the yellow-scaled snake.

He jumped down and took out a handful of water mixed with sand.

He put it into his coat.

He then twisted up the coat and caught it with his mouth.

Soon, he moved along the coat.

The water filtered by the wool flowed down as he continued to tighten his coat.

After being thirsty all afternoon, this simply filtered water is simply delicious.

After taking a few sips, Dudian did not continue, but licked his lips with water, then climbed up and said, "Don't drink too much at one time, just maintain the basic consumption of your body."

The three people in Macon showed admiration in their eyes.

They followed Dudian's method and put the sand mixed with water into their coats, filtered it and drank it.

"These grass roots should be edible."

Du Di'an pulled out the green grass, looked at the grass roots covered with wet soil, rubbed the wet soil on them clean, broke them off, and saw that there was no colored juice flowing out, He immediately bit one with his mouth and chewed it gently.

A faint sweetness filled his mouth, but it was also a bit raw.

After chewing it carefully, he swallowed it.

Seeing Dudian chewing it with gusto, the three people from Macon also broke off the grass roots and started eating.

“So bitter” “Really awful” Zach and Sham laughed bitterly, but still chewed and swallowed.

Du Di'an looked at the sky and said, "Let's spend the night here tonight.

You can collect some dry firewood and light the fire at night.

In addition, the four of us have to take turns on duty every night.

Whoever comes first today, the one who is on duty will go first."

Go get some sleep and replenish your energy.”

Macon said, "I'll do it tonight.

If you go to bed, we don't know what to do."

Dudian nodded and said: "Then you go and have a rest, Zachi will find dry firewood, Sham and I will build a shelter and find some rocks."

Following his arrangements, several people began to get busy.

There is a lonely tavern on the edge of the desert.

The tavern was dilapidated due to the erosion of wind and sand, and the windows and doors were repeatedly repaired with wooden boards.

At this moment, two figures, a man and a woman, were sitting in the pub, drinking cold wheat beer.

"Tell me, out of the three hundred and sixty people, how many people can survive tonight?"

Chris used a dagger to gently poke the ice cubes in the wooden cup and said with a smile.

Tuob smiled calmly and said, "It's definitely more than you think."

"Really?"

Chris raised her eyebrows and teased, "Why don't you make a bet?"

"How to bet?"

Tob was very interested.

"Just bet on how many people can stay in ten days."

Chris narrowed her eyes and said, "I bet two hundred."

Tuob smiled and said, "Then I'll bet three hundred."

"Oh" Chris looked at him sideways, "I seem quite confident in your students, but you will definitely lose this time."

Taob drank the beer he had poured into his glass and said calmly: "Why do you see that?"

"Giggle."

Kris covered her lips with the back of her hand and chuckled, "Don't you know, this desert was the territory of the Lane family ten years ago.

It was one of the six most prosperous places in the business district, but It was destroyed by the evil alchemist.

Not only was the Lane family destroyed, but this territory was also completely deserted and became a forbidden land under the alchemist's evil power."

Taob said calmly: "I knew this ten years ago because I was there at the time."

Chris chuckled and said: "But you don't know that although the evil alchemist was killed by the Holy See of Light, other alchemists now think that the evil left by that alchemist still exists in the desert.

The power quietly gathered here, but little did they know that their small actions had already been seen by the Holy See of Light. " Taob's expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean?"

"This time the Holy See of Light is preparing to eliminate the alchemists here, but their actions are hidden.

If they send the Bright Knights here rashly, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

Therefore, as usual, we will still treat this place as an assessment place for scavengers.

With these Use bait to lure them, I believe those alchemists will never miss such a good opportunity in vain," Chris said with a smile
