Chapter 129 Sandstorm, Scorpion King Remains
Huanhuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Sir, this is an inn. If you want to eat, drink and stay in the hotel, it's no problem. But if you want to find a guide, you'd better go elsewhere."
"One thousand taels." Qin Jiang said.
Huanhuan's eyes opened slightly, and she gave a charming smile, "It's easy to talk about money, but it's a busy time now, and there shouldn't be many guides in the city.
You may not know that our leaders here have long-term cooperation with outside merchants, and few of them take on private work. "
"Three thousand taels." Qin Jiang took a sip of strong wine.
Hiss~
This time, not only Huanhuan, but also the people who were scared before could not help but take a breath of air.
They are really wealthy. If they want to go to Feilong City, they only need thirty or fifty taels, even if they are a team of more than a dozen people.
Huanhuan's expression changed for a while, and then she seemed to have made some determination, "If the number of guests can increase to five thousand taels, then Huanhuan can take you there in person!"
Qin Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, "You? Are you the leader? You are not from here, right?"
Huanhuan shook his head gently, "My father and husband are both locals, and I am half of them. But don't worry, I have been to Feilong City alone many times, there will be no problem!"
Moreover, during this period, sandstorms will appear in the Black Scorpion Desert. If you ask the local guide, they will not agree to it. For them, sandstorms are a symbol of the desert god and cannot be offended. "
"Okay." Qin Jiang nodded slightly and took out five banknotes worth one thousand taels from his arms.
Now the so-called money is already a number to him. As long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care about the amount of money.
Huanhuan took the money, carefully put it into her arms, and looked at everyone in the inn, "Everyone, I'm really sorry. The shop is temporarily closed for half a month. Today's drinks are all Huanhuan's treat!"
The people who were drinking looked at each other, stood up and left silently. In front of Qin Jiang, they really didn't dare to laugh out loud.
"Let's go." Qin Jiang said.
"Now? So urgent?" Huanhuan asked, then nodded, "Okay, let's go to the backyard."
The two came to the backyard, where there were only a few simple wooden houses and a camel trough, where two camels were eating fodder.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go talk to my father-in-law."
With that said, Huanhuan walked into one of the wooden houses, and heard an old cough and a little girl's voice, with a hint of reluctance.
After a while, Huanhuan walked out, her eyes a little red.
After rubbing her face, she opened the trough door, took the camel out, and hung the two huge iron boxes leaning against the wall on the camel. "Guest, don't you know your last name?"
"Qin."
"Young Master Qin, don't worry. The camel I raised is better than most of the people who lead the way. It only takes five days to reach Feilong City." Huan Huan said with a smile.
"Let's go." Qin Jiang said.
"Well, okay, I'll teach you how to ride on it."
Three days later, in the Black Scorpion Desert, two lines of camel footprints extended hundreds of meters before being buried by wind and sand.
Huanhuan had a dusty look on his face and gnawed on the cracked dough regardless of his appearance.
It was literally harder than a rock, and even with her master-level strength, it was difficult to bite it.
Her eyes unconsciously fell on Qin Jiang beside her. She saw that his face was rosy and his clothes were spotless.
In fact, she hadn't seen him eat in the past few days.
"Mr. Qin, do you want some water?" she asked.
Qin Jiang shook his head, "No, it's still far away."
Huanhuan shook his head, "I don't know how far it is, but there are still two days to go. This desert is very weird, and mirages often appear. Sometimes you can even see Feilong City right in front of you, but no matter how you walk , can’t even arrive.”
Qin Jiang nodded slightly, he knew this situation.
"Eat while you walk," he said.
Huanhuan pursed her lips when she heard this, "Okay, I'll drink some water."
After continuing to move forward for half an hour, Qin Jiang suddenly stopped the camel, and Huan Huan looked at him with some doubts.
"What's wrong, Mr. Qin? Are you hungry?"
Qin Jiang shook his head and raised his hand to point to the side, "Is that also a mirage?"
Huanhuan's eyes were confused, and when she looked in the direction he pointed, her pupils suddenly shrank!
I saw dark clouds spreading like ink in the distant sky.
"No, no, no, no! It's a sandstorm!"
Her expression became panicked, she jumped off the camel and started arranging something on the ground.
Tough luck! What bad luck!
"Master Qin! There is a sand scorpion, a unique creature in the Black Scorpion Desert, in this sandstorm. It is extremely vicious!
No matter what you hear when you lie inside, don't open it! Wait until I open it for you! Be sure to remember it! These sand scorpions can learn to talk like humans! "
In just a few breaths, she had dug out two deep pits, then took off the two iron boxes from the camel and stepped heavily into the sand pit.
"Squeak~"
"Okay, come in quickly!" She shouted urgently, but saw that Qin Jiang didn't move at all.
Looking into the distance, the black clouds have spread and are less than a kilometer away from here!
"Mr. Qin! Hurry! It's too late!" She shouted, grabbing Qin Jiang's trouser legs and trying to pull him in.
But before his fingertips touched Qin Jiang, he was blocked by an invisible repulsive force.
"You should be more professional and take care of yourself." Qin Jiang said, and then he jumped into the air, releasing a strong golden and black light all over his body.
For a moment, the light generated by Qinjiang was like a new sun, lighting up the darkness under the dark clouds.
Huanhuan stared at the sandstorm that was coming at a high speed, almost translucent. Through the dense sand, one could even see the sand scorpions moving at a high speed inside! Like a series of dark shadows!
Roar——!!!
A dragon roar resounded through the world, and the terrifying pressure from the higher life form made her sit directly on the ground. She looked at the sandstorm in front of her woodenly.
The next moment, a dark dragon shadow instantly penetrated the entire sandstorm, and the fierce power directly destroyed the sandstorm that was almost overwhelming!
Step.
Qin Jiang landed lightly and casually lifted the sand and gravel that splashed in.
Huanhuan was stunned in place, staring blankly at the front. The dark appearance had disappeared, and the sunlight shone down, burning the air.
She looked at Qin Jiang, her eyes gradually became terrified. This was definitely not the power that an ordinary secret warrior could possess!
A high-level secret warrior! Even a twelfth-level peak secret warrior!
If that's the case.
She ignored her own embarrassment and threw herself in front of Qin Jiang, "Sir! Sir! I have a favor to ask! I'll return the five thousand taels in full, and I hope you'll do it!"
Qin Jiang was stunned, and casually sent out a source of power to lift her up, "Tell me first, what's the matter?"
She nodded slowly and heavily, calming down her excitement, "Sir, my father-in-law is actually one of the guides in the desert.
Not long ago, my father-in-law was infected with the black gas disease when he was leading the way. In addition to needing a lot of silver to treat the disease, , a herb called copper thorn is also needed as the main medicine.
But this herb is extremely rare and can only be found in the Scorpion King Ruins near Feilong City. My husband went to the Scorpion King Ruins alone to save my father-in-law and has not returned yet.
If possible, I hope you can go to the Scorpion King Ruins and rescue my husband.
Don't worry, the Scorpion King Ruins are not dangerous, but it is easy to enter and difficult to exit. It's nothing for you. I'm just worried that my husband doesn't bring enough food. If he delays for a while, he might starve to death in it. "
