Chapter 6 What does this kid mean?
Although the outside world was blue and sunny, and the temperature had risen rapidly to more than 45 degrees, Feng Delu's heart was still cold. The sudden sandstorm not only caused them to deviate from their original route for dozens of kilometers and enter the depths of the new Kramakan Desert, but also caused four team members to be lost.
After the sandstorm, Feng Delu immediately organized people to search everywhere. The three lost people were found. Except for a certain degree of mental fright, there was nothing serious about it, but another missing team member, Lin Zhiyu, has no news yet.
Although everyone understands that as long as you enter the new Kramakan Desert, you will be able to make a living with your head and any accidents may occur, you still hope that the whole team can go back together in a complete manner without facing the tears of the orphan and widowed mother.
Moreover, as the leader of this team, the result of someone missing or dying will also affect his reputation and benefits in the team and Chen's hunting hall.
More importantly, he had a good impression of Lin Zhiyu, although he only followed him into the new Kramakan Desert and did three or four missions, and was a rookie.
But this young man is flexible, studious, diligent, and has great vision. As long as he has taught him many things once, he will be able to do well without Feng Delu opening his mouth to give instructions.
Compared with the idiots in the team who only have brute force but don’t know where to use it, how to use it, and even often help, Lin Zhiyu’s existence seems too comfortable. When Feng Delu learned that Lin Zhiyu was separated from the team in a sandstorm, Feng Delu was really worried.
Therefore, on the one hand, Feng Delu led the team to retreat to the edge of the desert, and on the other hand, he was constantly sending additional personnel to release the "smoke of war" to find Lin Zhiyu. Fortunately, their food was still abundant, and it would not have any fatal impact if the return journey was delayed for a little.
"Master Feng!Master Feng!" A young man stood on the top of the sand dune and shouted loudly, "I saw the beacon, I saw the beacon!"
Feng Delu was immediately excited and climbed up the sand dune quickly, took out a monocular lens from his arms and looked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, he saw a pillar of smoke rising into the air in his field of vision.
"About ten kilometers!" Feng Delu frowned. If ten kilometers were in the plains, they all had horses to carry, and it would not take long, but in the sea of sand, these ten kilometers were enough for them to run for a long time. Moreover, the beacon smoke represents someone asking for help, but it may not necessarily be Lin Zhiyu.
"We also lit the beacon smoke here, letting the other party come to us, and except for the guards, we call everyone to retreat and rest." Feng Delu ordered.
Every last period of time, Lin Zhiyu would climb up the sand dunes and look around. When he saw two waves of beacons rising into the sky in the northwest, he jumped excitedly on the top of the hill. Two waves of beacons lighted at the same time, and the two waves of beacons formed a 40-degree angle, which was the signal that had been agreed in advance in their team.
Lin Zhiyu pulled up the beacon smoke stick, slid down from the sand dune, quickly packed up his things, turned over the horse, and drove the horse with one hand.
Feng Delu stood on the sand dunes, regardless of the scorching sun, holding up a telescope to watch carefully. When he found that the beacon smoke began to move towards him, he felt relieved. If he could know what the signal of the two beacon smoke forming a forty-degree angle meant, it was very likely that Lin Zhiyu!
When he saw Lin Zhiyu holding a beacon stick appearing on the top of the sand dune, he felt a little more relaxed. Although he still couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, he could at least confirm that the other person had not many people. Of course, he would not completely let go of his guard. Perhaps the other person was just a guise to attract his attention, and there were still people hiding in the dark. Robbing was not a rare thing in the new Kramakan Desert.
When Feng Delu could see Lin Zhiyu's appearance clearly from the telescope, he found that Lin Zhiyu was constantly waving the beacon stick in his hand with panic and pointed to the south, and was still shouting something.
"What does this boy mean?" Feng Delu turned the telescope to his south in surprise. After looking for a while, he did not find anything unusual.
Lin Zhiyu saw the lookout glass in Feng Delu's hand turning back to his side, and couldn't help but be anxious. Feng Delu and his friends could not see the other side because of a tall sand dune blocking it, but he rushed over from the side. From his perspective, he could see that a huge ferocious beast was moving quickly towards Feng Delu and his friends.
Saber-toothed lizard, a large native reptile with sharp teeth like a dagger, has four pairs of strong and powerful lower limbs, a long tail that can kill a galloping horse, and a sandy yellow lizard that is tougher than rhinoceros skin.
Although its body is huge, its eight wide soles ensure that it runs like flying in the desert, which is not much inferior to a galloping horse, and it does not make a lot of noise when running, which makes it often lurk near the prey.
The saber-toothed lizard has a fierce temperament and loves blood food. It can be said to be one of the most bloodthirsty beasts in the New Kramakan Desert. Fortunately, the saber-toothed lizard seems to have a strong sense of territory. Unless during the reproductive period, more than two saber-toothed lizards rarely appear at the same time. However, even so, for humans who are active in the New Kramakan Desert, it is still one of the most dangerous creatures.
It can be said that it is a ferocious beast that everyone who wants to enter the new Kramakan Desert to make a living is familiar. It is said that it has a very sensitive sense of smell, excellent patience and physical strength, and can run and catch prey for a long time. Therefore, in order to get rid of its hunting, people often abandon the prey they have obtained, and even kill the extra horses in the team - feeding the belly of the saber-toothed lizard, and it will naturally not continue to chase.
However, for those hunters with the most powerful strength, the saber-toothed lizard is a top-notch prey. The lizard skin of the adult saber-toothed lizard is light and tough. Not to mention ordinary swords and daggers, it is difficult to penetrate even if you use a rifle to shoot at close range. It is currently the best natural raw material for making personal personal protective gear in the Firefed Federation.
Although saber-toothed lizards are not unique to the New Kramakan Desert, only saber-toothed lizards that live here have large people with a body length of more than fifteen meters from beginning to end. The quality of the saber-toothed lizard skin is often related to the years when the saber-toothed lizards survives. Therefore, it is recognized in the market that only saber-toothed lizard skins produced from the New Kramakan Desert are of the highest quality.
The value of the saber-toothed lizard is not limited to its lizard skin, but also its teeth and claws! Humans also accidentally discovered a hundred years ago that when making steel, a certain proportion of the teeth and claws of the saber-toothed lizard were invested, and the steel produced was used to create guns, knives and other weapons, and the quality will be improved by one to three levels!
After discovering this, the military naturally overjoyed. It once organized a team to enter the desert area to encircle the saber-toothed lizards to obtain more raw materials.
But what is disappointing is that the 4,000 elite military forces who were armed to the teeth repeatedly swept through three deserts in the territory of the Firefly Federation for a full three months, but the harvest was only a small amount, which was not as accidental as the civilian team in previous years.
Four thousand elite military soldiers swept through the desert for three months, but they didn't even find one of the saber-toothed lizards, and they couldn't catch a living saber-toothed lizard. For the sake of the mere four saber-toothed lizards, two of which were in the immature stage, the military lost nearly 300 people for various reasons during the entire operation.
This result disappointed the military, and no similar actions were organized since then.
The meat of the saber-toothed lizard is said to be comparable to the top beef and has excellent taste. However, since the saber-toothed lizard rarely appears on the edge of the desert and is often deep in the desert. Even if it successfully catches and kills the saber-toothed lizard successfully, it is difficult to preserve its meat and take it out of the desert. Therefore, it is extremely rare on the market. Most people pass on word of mouth, but they do not have the pleasure of taste in person.
