C816 Take Turns Keeping Watch
When they reached a bare spot surrounded by mounds, they got out of the cars. There was actually not a single blade of grass growing here, and there were also bare mounds all around. These mounds were not very tall, nor were they very large.
Logically speaking, as long as it was soil, there would be grass and plants. No matter what kind of soil it was, weeds would grow. Even in places that were heavily polluted, weeds would grow. But this place was so strange that there was not a single grass.
"Strange, this place actually doesn't have a single blade of grass. It really is a barren land." Lee Yuanhong said seriously.
"We don't have to worry about it." Wang Xiao said indifferently. The purpose of his visit was to find the ruins of the treasure, not to study the terrain here. Wang Xiao didn't want to bother with these things. He was not a geologist, so what was the use of studying these things?
"Xiao, why do you think this place is barren? Is it because there is something special about this place?" Gu Hu asked.
Sun Dafu said unhappily. Stupid, you don't know such a small thing. It's terrible to be uncultured."
Gu Hu was quite dissatisfied with Sun Dafu's disdain. Damn it. Sun Dafu actually said he was uncultured. It seemed like he was the uncultured one, not Gu Hu. "Sun Dafu, since you are so cultured, why don't you tell me why there isn't a single blade of grass here?" Gu Hu asked.
After thinking for a while, Sun Dafu said, "Haven't you heard about the anti-Japanese period? Our country has been fighting for many years. According to my estimation, this place should have been contaminated by poisonous gas or blown up by bombs."
"Tch!"
Gu Hu seriously despised Sun Dafu. This guy was really a pig. No one had ever said that a place that was blown up by a bomb would be barren. At that time, Huang Country wouldn't have such a powerful poison gas. It would be able to keep this place barren for decades.
The two of them weren't convinced of each other's strength, so they immediately started to argue.
"Shut up." After hearing the argument between Sun Dafu and Gu Hu, Wang Xiao said unhappily. The two of them had been arguing nonstop. They had been arguing until their faces turned red because of a small matter.
When the two of them heard Wang Xiao's unhappy voice, they shut their mouths one after another.
"Everyone takes turns to keep vigil and take turns to rest." Wang Xiao said. Since it was dangerous here, everyone could not rest at the same time. Under the arrangement of Wang Xiao and Lee Yuanhong, everyone took turns keeping watch.
Although the Huaxing Gang and Big Knife Sect were different sects, the experts of the two sects got along quite well. They were not willing to argue over some small matters. Moreover, because the leaders of the two sects were on good terms with each other, the disciples of the two sects were on good terms with each other.
However, as there were more members of the Huaxing Gang, they were at a disadvantage. There was no need for the Big Knife Sect to arrange the night vigil. However, this was a small matter. Of course, Wang Xiao would haggle over it. In any case, he wouldn't suffer any losses.
According to everyone's arrangement, Sun Dafu, Zhong Liwei, and the two Late Period of Earth Rank Master-hand warriors of the Big Knife Sect would be guarding the first three hours. Every four of them would be in a group, and each group would be keeping vigil for three hours. In total, they would be resting for nine hours.
After everyone found a place to sit down, they ate their rations. The conditions here were very poor, and they could not eat big fish and big meat, so they could only eat some dry rations.
While chewing on the hard to swallow dried food, Wang Xiao ate quickly. When many people saw that Wang Xiao did not pay attention to eating, they were all surprised. Because of such a terrible food, Wang Xiao could actually eat it with relish. They really admired Wang Xiao.
To the other experts, it was indeed very difficult for them to eat this food. Because of these people, which one of them wasn't used to eating big fish and big meat? Therefore, they had almost no appetite for these dry rations.
Although Wang Xiao was the Sect Master of the Huaxing Gang, not only was he rich, but he also had a high status. However, his requirements for food were not high. In Wang Xiao's words, as long as he could eat to his heart's content, as long as he could eat to his heart's content, he would not mind.
When he was in the mountains with the old man, Wang Xiao had even eaten tree roots. Sun Dafu was chewing hard to swallow dry rations as he cursed, "Damn it, this is really not human food. It is not human food."
Looking at his pitiful appearance, he almost bit his snot and tears.
"Sun Dafu, if you don't like it, you can throw it away. No one is forcing you to eat it." Gu Hu said unhappily when he heard Sun Dafu's cursing.
"Damn you, can't I complain a little?" Sun Dafu yelled at Gu Hu.
Everyone ignored their bickering because they only wanted to continue their journey tomorrow after they had their fill and had a good rest. After Wang Xiao finished his dry rations, he drank a few mouthfuls of mineral water. Due to the limited water resources, he had to conserve some.
Although he brought a lot of water, one had to know that there were more than a dozen people here. Therefore, after splitting the water evenly, it was not much. If they drank all the water, it would indeed be very troublesome to not be able to find a source of water.
Water was the most important thing. If there was no water, he would not be able to move at all. Fortunately, Wang Xiao and the other Earth Rank warriors were fine even if they didn't drink water for ten days to half a month. However, Gu Loong and the others couldn't because they were only Profoundness Rank Master-hand warriors.
Unless they were Celestial Rank Stage warriors, they wouldn't eat or drink. No matter who was below the Celestial Rank realm, they had to eat and drink. The only difference was that the time interval between them was much longer than that of ordinary people.
Wang Xiao took out a red bottle and handed it to Gu Hu. "Gu Hu, sprinkle the powder around."
"Yes." Gu Hu took the bottle and did as Wang Xiao asked. He did not ask Wang Xiao what the powder was for. Gu Hu knew very well that as long as Wang Xiao asked him to do something, he would have his reasons.0
"Sect Master, what kind of dog skin paste is this?" Sun Dafu asked curiously.
"This is the powder to expel poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. This kind of powder has a strong effect on poisonous insects and poisonous snakes. As long as they smell this kind of smell, those poisonous insects and poisonous snakes will not dare to approach easily." Wang Xiao said.
Sun Dafu nodded and said," This dog skin plaster is very powerful. Can you get some of it on me? As long as I apply this powder on my body, I am not worried about being bitten by poisonous snakes and poisonous bugs. "
Wang Xiao ignored Sun Dafu. This grandson was seeking death. Did he not want to live anymore? He actually said that his powder was dog skin plaster. Damn it. If anyone else dared to say these words, Wang Xiao would definitely let him try the bitter fruit.
Wang Xiao took out a portion of the medicinal Pill s and gave it to the members of the Big Knife Sect. This was because the members of the Big Knife Sect did not have medicinal Detoxifying Pills, spirit replenishing pills, and healing pills. They might have them, but the effects were definitely not as good as his.
The experts of the Big Knife Sect were very happy, because Wang Xiao actually gave them these things. One had to understand that these things were very hard to buy in the market, and even if one spent a large amount of money to buy them, it would still be very difficult. It didn't work very well either.
After getting those medicinal Pill s, the experts of Big Knife Sect were extremely grateful to Wang Xiao. Lee Yuanhong was also grateful to Wang Xiao. Because Wang Xiao was willing to spend so many Big Knife Sects for the experts of the Big Knife Sect.
Sun Dafu was somewhat dissatisfied. Because in his opinion, Sect Master was really meddling in other people's business. Why did he give these Big Knife Sects to the experts of Big Knife Sect? In any case, they weren't from the Huaxing Gang. So it doesn't matter if he's dead. Instead of giving so many Pill s to those experts of the Big Knife Sect, the Sect Master might as well give them to him. Because after obtaining such a huge amount of Pill s, he could still find a pretty girl to be carefree and unrestrained.
Wang Xiao and the others only chatted for a dozen minutes before everyone rested, while Sun Dafu and the others began to keep vigil. Since no one had been here before, they were not familiar with this place, so no one knew the route.
As this was an uninhabited area, no one knew where to go. Therefore, whether it was on the map or on the satellite, there was no detailed map of this place. There was only a rough terrain. The entire area of the shaman was about a few hundred kilometers. It was obvious that the area was not small. To search for a ruin in such a large area was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Although Wang Xiao was resting, his powerful Spirit Forces were still scattered all around. As long as there were any signs of movement, he would know. Although Zhong Liwei, a Earth Rank warrior, was personally keeping watch, there shouldn't be any accidents, it was still better to be careful.
"Huhuhu!"
When the wind blew, countless strange sounds could be heard from the wind. It was as if countless ghosts were crying. It made people's hair stand on end, and they couldn't help but feel tense. When Sun Dafu heard those strange sounds, he looked around nervously, as if he was very afraid.
After he walked to Zhong Liwei's side timidly, Sun Dafu asked carefully, "Elder Zhong, you said it was in the wilderness. Will there be ghosts?" As he spoke, he looked around in fear, as if he was really afraid of ghosts and other things.
"No." Zhong Liwei said with an expressionless face.
"Why?" Sun Dafu asked.
Zhong Liwei didn't say anything, because he felt there was no need to explain these things to Sun Dafu. Sun Dafu was actually so timid. He was such a big man, and he was also a cultivator. However, this bastard was afraid of ghosts and gods. If word got out, it would really be a joke.
The expert of Big Knife Sect despised Sun Dafu from the bottom of his heart. In fact, he despised this bastard seriously. What kind of era was this? This bastard was actually afraid of ghosts and ghosts. It was truly sad. Although this man despised Sun Dafu, he didn't show it on his face.
Sun Dafu walked forward, shaking his body as he walked towards a pile of rocks. There were rocks everywhere, and countless rocks were standing together.
"Where are you going?" Zhong Liwei asked curiously when he saw Sun Dafu leaving.
"I'm going to make things easier." Sun Dafu said.
"Don't go too far. Be careful not to get lost." Zhong Liwei said.
"I know." After Sun Dafu walked into the rubble, he took off his pants and decided to make things easier.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, he heard a scream. Everyone was shocked by the sudden sound. They all ran towards Sun Dafu. Wang Xiao was the first to appear beside Sun Dafu. His face was pale and his body was trembling.
"Sun Dafu, what's wrong with you?" Wang Xiao asked worriedly.
"Snake, snake. Sun Dafu pointed at a spot in the rock and said with a trembling voice.
Everyone looked at the place Sun Dafu was pointing at and saw a small golden snake running away quickly.
"Golden Ring Snake." Wang Xiao was a little surprised to see this snake. He never thought that there would be a Golden Ring Snake here. This kind of snake was vicious. If it bit someone, it would bite them. If the injured person was not treated in time, their life would be in danger.
