Chapter 5: Desert(1/2)
A dangerous place, if it is not a special reason, it cannot be kept for a moment. This is a necessary survival rule for almost every little demon.
After leaving the village where Baishuang originally lived, the group began to walk north. Except for the necessary rest time, they almost stopped. They bypassed all human settlements and walked as little as possible.
According to the monkey's initial idea, as long as they are far away enough to go where the news cannot reach, they can resume their old career.
However, plans always fail to keep up with changes.
As mentioned at the beginning, Xiniu Hezhou is a place without a unified human country, with various small countries standing in hand. Such places often mean that all kinds of information are extremely closed. When they set out, they don’t even have a map, and they don’t know where they will go all the way north.
Of course, the monkey didn't care. He had been here for more than ten years of wandering time, because there was no place to go, so he didn't care where he would go.
So, on the tenth day after leaving the village, without any preparation, a desert lingered in front of them. The boundless desert.
Well, let alone avoid it, I'm afraid it's hard to meet humans.
Looking at the desert, everyone looked confused.
"what to do?"
"It's just a desert, not a desert. As long as you can find water, you can't die!" It's impossible to turn back. After so many years, the monkey has never turned back.
After gritting his teeth, he decided to travel through the desert.
After just one day of preparation, they set off.
On the third day after entering the desert, Hei Tai was bitten by a poisonous snake. Due to the timely treatment, there was no life-threatening danger.
On the fifth day of entering the desert, they encountered a pack of wolves. A group of people squeezed into a dead tree for two days, and were sunburned by the sun for two days, exhausted. In the end, the pack left, and the people in the team were more or less injured. Fortunately, there were no real casualties, which was a great blessing in disgrace.
Facing all this, Bai Shuang was frightened, but the risks in the wild were obviously used to these monsters who were desperate, and they were still talking and laughing along the way.
However, on the tenth day of entering the desert, they encountered wind and sand. You should know that the wind and sand in the desert are not much worse than those in the desert. They hid in the cave that they had finally found for a day and a night, and could not do anything. When they came out, the dry food they carried had been completely exhausted.
When I heard the news, Feichan cried so hard that she almost fainted.
There is also food in the desert, and all kinds of wild grasses and vegetables can be food. If it really doesn't work, you can eat hay just by stolen. Unfortunately, the consumption is much more than what you find.
The exhaustion of food carried means that hunger will be their greatest enemy in the days to come.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of entering the desert, the group was so hungry that they were dizzy and almost lost their strength to walk.
"If you bear it, I will not believe that this place is really out of the way. If you think this way, it will be so difficult for us to leave, and the Taoist priests will definitely be even less capable of catching up! In this way, will we be safe?"
But, at this moment, who still cares about Taoist priests?
The fat intestines became thinner day by day, and she shouted that she was hungry day and night. The cow head was silent and walked forward. Maybe it was to preserve her strength, and Dahong was not as nagging as she used to.
The black tail, which is the least present, always curled up in a corner and was motionless, and then suddenly appeared at dawn.
The originally noisy team became silent, but Bai Shuang. It was strange that Bai Shuang was hungry like everyone else, but it seemed that there was no problem not eating. There was no physical or mental decline.
This surprised the monkey.
In the end, the only two remaining voices in the entire team were Monkey and Baishuang, and the others became complete listeners.
"I'm sorry, if it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have exposed your identity at all, and you wouldn't have to risk traveling through the desert. It's all because of me. I'm sorry..."
"Why are you apologizing? You didn't ask me to save me." The monkey held a weed in his mouth and looked at the sunset in the sky: "There is no mountain that cannot be circumvented, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. When we walk through the desert, there will be another new world. I may not be sure to turn back and thank you. Hehehe."
"Are you always so optimistic?"
The monkey glanced at Bai Shuang, then looked back at the other partners who were dead and dead, and said, "What else can you do if you are not optimistic? Life always needs to be lived, why not look more open?"
As he said that, he acted again, looking like a clown.
Bai Frost smiled sweetly.
As the night came, the howling of hungry wolves came from afar. Bai Shuang was frightened, but no one else cared about it.
This is probably what I call it, I'm used to it.
In order to resist the cold and the wolves that might come at any time, everyone lit a bonfire. The cow head squatted by the bonfire and watched.
As for the monkey, he stood alone on the dead tree and was standing against the cold wind, looking out and watching the night.
Looking at the fat intestines that were sniffing and talking from time to time, Bai Shuang finally chose to sit on the dead tree and watch with the monkey at night.
"Will there be such a place in this world where monsters can live well without being chased?"
"Of course there is, Yaodu, have you heard of it?"
Bai Shuang shook her head: "No."
"Well... it means the same as the Heavenly Court. All good things are there. The difference is that humans become immortals and go to the Heavenly Court. If the monsters get along well, they will go to the Immortal City. There are demon emperors, five masters, six demon kings, and laws. No one dares to do anything. The monsters living in it don't have to live a life of ups and downs, and a day of unpreparedness."
When he said this, the monkey smiled, with an intoxicated look on his face, while Bai Shuang was amazed.
"There is such a place in this world. I think the heaven is the largest."
"Hey, that's what humans say. Monsters also say that monsters are the biggest, and the heavenly court is full of cowards. One day you meet the heavenly soldiers and generals, do you think they are cowardly?"
"It's better... don't meet me." Bai Shuang replied in a low voice, thinking for a while, and then asked, "Then, why don't we go to the Immortal City?"
“It’s not the time.”
"That's it." Bai Shuang looked at the monkey with her eyes.
Looking at Bai Shuang's lost appearance, the monkey frowned and suddenly laughed, saying, "Do you know the Lion Camel King?"
"The Lion Camel King?"
"Yes, one of the six demon kings. It's a famous figure in the demon capital." As he said that, the monkey raised his thumb: "The heavenly soldiers were going to run for life when they saw it, and the heavenly generals had to admit defeat when they saw it. When they stomped their feet, the earth was shaken, and they would catch a cold when they sneeze!"
"So amazing!" Bai Shuang couldn't help but pat her hands.
"Of course. Otherwise, what do you think?" The monkey said vividly: "The Lion Camel King, who has three heads, six arms, green face and fangs, otherwise why should the soldiers be afraid of him, right? His nine-ring sword weighs 10,800 pounds, and when he goes out, he needs to lift the No. 180 monsters to move!"
"Why didn't he take it himself?"
"How can the demon king get his own weapons? The price is reduced?"
"Yes, but Monster No. 180... how should I carry it?"
"Put it in a box! Have you ever seen a sedan chair lifting?"
"Oh, so that's it."
What does the sedan chair carried by 180 people look like?
Baishuang couldn't help but think.
"What I saw with my own eyes, can there be any mistakes? Not only is the big sword heavy, but the armor is also heavy, which is 100,000 pounds! A piece of armor as big as a palm will weigh hundreds of pounds, and a total of 9,999 pieces of it all over his body!" The monkey became more and more excited as he spoke, and stood on the tree and posed as if he was the king of lion camel.
"But, a few hundred kilograms per piece, nine thousand nine hundred and nine hundred ninety-nine pieces shouldn't it be millions of kilograms?"
When the monkey asked, he staggered and almost fell from the tree.
"Ah! Are you okay?"
"I accidentally stepped on it..."
"Why are you so careless?"
After finally climbing up the tree with Bai Shuang's help, the monkey glanced at Bai Shuang with a little embarrassedly.
After confirming that Bai Shuang was nervous and had forgotten the question just now, she breathed a little relieved.
I saw his eyes rolling, his eyebrows raised, and he turned to say, "To be honest, I have not only seen the Lion Camel King, but also... I have a good relationship with him."
"real?"
"Why are you lying to?" The monkey reached out and grabbed it, and took out a yellow hair from his waist: "Do you know, what is this?"
"This is……"
"Lion Hair!" the monkey grinned and said, "This is the token given to me by the Lion Camel King!"
"Wow! You are so awesome!" Bai Shuang was shocked and reached out to touch her.
"Don't! Don't touch!" The monkey quickly took back the "Lion's Fur": "You can only see, not touch. If it were someone else, I wouldn't even show it."
As he said that, the monkey took the "liu fur" into the small bag around his waist.
"But, why is it the same color as your hair?"
"Otherwise, how could it be said to be fate?"
"That's right."
The monkey fooled each other and said it all.
At this moment, Bai Shuang suddenly said, "Then...why should we go and surrender to the Lion Camel King?"
"Forehead……"
"We go to surrender to the Lion Camel King, so we don't have to be afraid of Taoist priests?"
The monkey suddenly became a little cowardly and scratched his head and said, "That... the time has not come, the time has not come. Who is the Lion Camel King? That is the dragon that sees its head but not its tail. Can you find it just by saying you and I can find it? One day the time comes, you will naturally encounter it. Hahahaha."
"Yeah." Bai Shuang nodded heavily with her lips pursed.
Looking at Bai Shuang's serious appearance, the monkey suddenly became a little weak again and had to solemnly remind him: "This is a little secret between you and me, and you can't tell anyone."
"Can't even Dahong and the others say it?"
