Chapter 130 Frozen Bone Tree (7)

Hearing what I said, Kurban was probably moved. He said, "Let's wait and see the situation. It's really not easy to transfer at this point." Before we planned to rotate three shifts, but Looking at the current night situation, three shifts are impossible, and it would be nice to keep two shifts.

The Populus euphratica tree was dead inside, and the flames quickly swept across the entire tree. The fire light illuminated a large area, and a large area of ​​flames danced in the wind, and everyone's faces were reflected under the flames. A slice of orange.

Tian Sili swallowed her saliva, and said: "It should, it shouldn't do any more mischief, right?" I thought to myself that it was almost burned to carbon, what else could it do?Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, he saw that the ground under the frozen bone tree suddenly bulged.

This is a desert, so this kind of movement is very obvious. Before we could react, a white thing popped out of the yellow sand protruding from under the tree.

The moment the thing sprang out, it leaped violently, like a big frog, with amazing jumping power, and jumped into the darkness all at once.

The moment it came out, the Populus euphratica tree that was burning in the fire fell to the ground in an instant as if it had lost its support, and fell to pieces.

"What!" Xiao Qi yelled in surprise. After all, she had practiced martial arts, and she reacted very quickly. She and Kurban rushed towards the darkness almost at the same time.

We all have weapons in our supplies. We all carry daggers and a few legal shotguns in case we encounter any wild animals in the desert.

Since there are not many dangers from animals in the winter desert, there are only three shotguns, and most of the rest carry daggers.

At this moment, Kurban and Xiao Qi both pulled out their daggers and chased after them, while the others quickly went to get their guns.

The thing just now rushed out of the sand at a very fast speed. Although it was only for a moment and I didn't see the specific appearance clearly, it was not small, as big as a calf.

Obviously, it has been hiding under the frozen bone tree, and it is not known whether the strange situation before has anything to do with it.

Xiao Qi and Kurban came back after a short chase, Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "It disappeared!"

Kurban said: "No, it hasn't disappeared. This thing can be hidden in the sand. It should be hidden in the sand again. Be careful." Movements in the surrounding sand.

I asked Kurban, "Do you know what that is?"

Kurban shook his head, saying he had never seen it before.

On the contrary, Jian Weizhong said: "I have read a lot of information about the ancient Western Regions. There used to be a small country called Mandala in the Western Regions. In the legends of this country, there was a kind of animal called a water frog. It is said that It hibernates in spring and summer, and only comes out in autumn and winter. Wherever it goes, the sand can freeze, and if it breathes such a cold breath on people, it can freeze people into ice slag."

I recalled the outline of that white thing just now, when it jumped, it really looked like a frog, and I thought that our luck was too bad, could it be that we really met a water frog?Could this kind of creature that was passed down in the ancient Western Regions really exist?
Just as this thought flashed across, suddenly, another strange sound came from the cold wind.

It was a clicking sound, like the sound of ice shattering, or the sound of glass slowly cracking.Before I could figure out where the sound was coming from, I saw the burning Populus euphratica tree. The flames on the tree suddenly began to shrink, as if being suppressed by an invisible force.

And in the sand around us, a layer of ice crystals quickly formed on the surface at a speed visible to the naked eye. The ice crystals made a crackling sound and quickly pushed towards us.

"Back, back!" Jian Weizhong yelled and directed: "There are really water frogs!"

Co-authored the legendary frozen bone tree, which is actually the nest of water frogs!

No wonder this tree can move. Most likely it was moved by the water frog. It should be called a snail frog.

Now that we've burned down its house, I guess that thing won't let it go.

Even though Kurban was well-informed and knew the desert environment very well, he was helpless at the moment.Our group could only retreat quickly, but the ice crystals on the ground quickly spread over.

Halfway through the evacuation, our tents were all frozen. Originally, the tent was rattled by the wind, but after the ice crystals spread, it was completely frozen and the tent cloth became as hard as iron sheet, standing upright with.

"Supplies!" I yelled.

There is no source of material in the desert. Our food and drink are fixed, and water is not a problem. It can be boiled with fuel, but some food and materials cannot withstand such rapid freezing.

When Kurban heard my shout, he reacted and shouted in Uighur.A group of his subordinates immediately pulled out the scimitars from their waists, ran towards the ice crystal, and stabbed the knives straight into the sand.

Fortunately, someone stabbed it right away. When the knife was pulled out, it was stained with blood, and a big lump bulged in the sand. It quickly fled to the side, presumably stabbing a sneak attacking water frog.

With the blood pouring out of the sand, and the rate at which the ice crystals spread slowed, the rest of us rushed to salvage supplies.

These materials are related to the life and death of everyone. In this freezing polar environment, if there is no food and materials to keep out the cold, let alone looking for the ancient city, it is a question of whether we can get out alive.

It's no wonder Kurban and his party were so desperate just now.

At this juncture, you are not only doing things for me, but you are also doing things for your own life.

After the water frog was stabbed, it immediately ran to the side, and then most of its body protruded out of the sand.

Although the fire of the frozen bone tree was extinguished, the lights of the camp were still on, so at this moment, we could clearly see the face of the water frog.

Its whole body is snow-white, its eyes are huge and blue, its head is like a frog, but its body is dry, not as slimy as frogs.

At this moment, it was bleeding near the front legs.

The water frog was obviously irritated. It raised its short neck, opened its mouth in the direction of Kurban and the others, and sprayed out something like white mist.

At this moment, the poor water vapor in the air quickly condensed into ice slag in the white mist, rustling down.

Kurban and his party quickly fled for their lives, trying to escape the coverage of the white mist.

However, one of them, XJ, ran late after all. The moment his body was covered by white mist, he completely froze, maintaining his running posture, and fell down on the sand with a puff.

Although we don't understand Uighur, we can still remember the basic name. This guy is called Kadir, the one who likes to secretly throw sand on people's buttocks when they are squatting in pits.

He is the liveliest, youngest, and the most tricky person in the team.

But now, he seemed to have turned into a statue, lying motionless in the sand.
