After the immortal disappeared

This is a drop in the bucket. Besides, the water has been given out, what will everyone drink later?

It would take two full days to walk back to the nearest inn from here.

He Lingchuan folded his arms and said, "I'll bet you ten taels of silver. Sun Guoshi has already planned a countermeasure. It's not our turn to worry about it." He leaned against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Twelve taels, Situ Han said with a bitter look on his face: "I can't afford to gamble."

Sun Fuping glanced at them, touched the ring, and a round leather ball the size of a grapefruit appeared in his hand.

This old guy really has the goods. He Lingchuan saw him stuff the ball into the mouth of the monster on the top of the staff——

The big ball disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Fuping turned the staff, pointed the animal head at the pool, and whispered a few words.

The monster opened its mouth and spit out a thick and long water column, which fell straight into the pool.

"This is the jet sac of the marble fish." Sun Fuping's explanation was casual.

He Lingchuan seems to have heard of this strange fish. It hides in the lakes and seas in the central part of the Kite Kingdom. It can even spray water jets to knock large prey on land such as cattle, horses, and baby elephants into the water for food. Its spraying ability is extremely powerful. In the dry season, it can live without water for months.

But I can't use its jetting ability right now. This kind of water bladder can shrink inward to store water, and even the weight is reduced.

What a treasure for walking in the desert.

After pouring water like this for more than two quarters of an hour, Nian Songyu suddenly said: "Something's wrong, the water surface hasn't expanded for a long time."

According to the diameter of the monster's water outlet, the bottom of the pond should have been full long ago, and even less than half of the pond would be filled with water. But under the eyes of everyone, only two-thirds of the bottom area of ​​the pool was covered with water, and the remaining one-third was still dry.

Where did the water go?

Sun Fuping stretched out his hand and pressed the bottom of the pool: "Sure enough, there is some way, and the water was sucked in."

"Then what do we do?"

Sun Fu's expression darkened slightly: "Let's have another look."

After another two quarters of an hour, all the water in the monster's stomach was sprayed out, and it even coughed twice. But the water at the bottom of the pond has remained unchanged compared to before.

Everyone knows that we are in trouble now.

Plans never change quickly. No matter how carefully Sun Fuping designs, there will always be times when he can't keep up with the situation.

Nian Songyu thought for a while, then turned to Zeng Feixiong and told Zeng Feixiong, "Go and collect everyone's water bags."

Zeng Feixiong was startled: "Take away the drinking water? We still have to hold on in the desert for several days. What if it's not enough?"

Nian Songyu looked at Sun Fuping and saw that he was silent, so she insisted on her opinion: "Don't miss the mark, go and collect the water quickly."

When marching in the desert, water is used to save lives. Zeng Feixiong couldn't imagine how much his men resisted this order: "But, but..."

Nian Songyu's face darkened: "You want to disobey?"

Zeng Feixiong was confused and couldn't help but look at He Chunhua.

Nian Songyu's eyes became even more gloomy. These sesame officials really have no eyesight.

He Chunhua didn't have any good options. Should he disobey orders and go back home, or should he pour everyone's drinking water into the pool and let nature take its course?

It seems that neither choice is rational.

He couldn't make up his mind here, but he heard his eldest son Shi Shiran say: "Why are we in such a stalemate? We have taken away the soldiers' water. How can we get out of the desert later?"

Nian Songyu said coldly: "A hundred miles and a half ninety. What if this is the only difference?"

"Can you guarantee that this is all?"

Nian Songyu smiled: "Yes."

So what if I can’t? By then the water has been drained out and the rice is ready. Will the soldiers still dare to mutiny?

He Lingchuan rolled his eyes, turned to Sun Fuping and asked, "The bottom of the pond needs to be filled with water, right?"

"right."

"What if it's not water?" This is the focus of He Lingchuan's thinking, "Can other liquids be used?"

"for example?"

"Blood." In order to prevent these two guys from thinking wrongly and making human sacrifices or something, he quickly clarified, "I am talking about the blood of monsters or strange beasts. There are big ones in the Panlong Desert. Get a few of them." Bloodletting shouldn’t be difficult.”

Sun Fuping's eyes suddenly lit up: "It makes sense! Blood sacrifices are often used to reward gods, and blood is mixed into the pool. The big square pot shouldn't mind, but likes it." He threw the walnut boat to Nian Songyu and pointed at He Lingchuan. "Take people to the desert and bring back some giant beasts."

…

Everyone took Du Hun Powder and entered the desert again.

Desert creatures and worms are more active on cooler nights. Nian Songyu released a walnut boat for everyone to gain a foothold, and ordered the boatman to put bait into the sand for fishing.

Nian Songyu stood and He Lingchuan sat, neither bothering to look at each other.

The fishing was not going well this time, and no prey bit the hook for a long time. He Lingchuan's back was sore from sitting, and when a few three-corpse bugs wandered out of the walnut boat, he called someone over to give him a pat on the back.

"Comfortable, okay! Go down a little bit, yes, go down! Use some strength."

The eldest young master of the He family sighed in comfort. Hedonism really eats away at the muscles and bones. Who would have thought that three months ago, he would still be an otaku who felt uncomfortable being approached within half a meter of him?

Nian Songyu secretly shook his head, but saw He Lingchuan closing his eyes and asking, "Why did Captain Nian come to Heishui City in person?"

"What?"

"How could General Zhengbei be willing to let his beloved son die in a mission where no one could survive?" He Lingchuan rolled his eyes and asked, "Is he your biological father?"

Nian Songyu's face twitched: "Didn't Sheriff He also ask you to come with him? Aren't you his son?"

Ginseng Rooster, people who are uneducated are not tactful. He Lingchuan waved his hand and said "grab", and a dagger shot out and nailed it to the wooden bar Nian Songyu was leaning on.

By the way, his current throwing accuracy is still very poor. When the flying knife was shot, he didn't know where the knife would end up.

Before Nian Songyu could react, his guards had already taken two steps forward, unsheathed their swords, and were about to yell at He Lingchuan.

He Lingchuan put his finger in front of his lips and said "Shush" first, "Shut up, don't scare away the prey!" He pointed down to the boat, "If you forget the top priority, be careful of military law!"

Nian Songyu waved his subordinates away and said calmly: "I can live, but you may not. If you are obedient and be a good dog, then you and your father may be able to go back alive. Otherwise, Mrs. Ying will be widowed. , as for your brother——"

He licked his lips, and his eyes showed a bit of cruelty in the excitement: "Don't worry, no matter whether you are dead or alive, I will definitely find a way to help him return to the capital. He must be very popular in the capital!"

He Lingchuan stared at him and slowly darkened his face.

Why are these three major forces, Xunzhou Mu, Da Sima, and Sun Guoshi, mixed together?

Maybe Dad shouldn’t take over the task of Dafang Pot?

Just as He Lingchuan was about to speak, the fishing rod in the boatman's hand suddenly sank, almost dragging him off the bow of the boat.

The prey finally bites the hook!

Then everyone worked together and finally pulled out what was under the sand.

This is still an earth dragon, but it is two sizes smaller than the two predecessors during the day and can be stuffed into the boat.
