Lu Liran looked at the men who were stunned, squinted his eyes, and urged impatiently: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Help me."

"Ah? Oh! Oh!" Shuhua and Xiandan hurried forward.

Usually an adult camel weighs more than two thousand catties, and it takes four people to turn it over with the combined efforts.

"Huh? Why do you feel... so light?" Shu Hua was a little surprised. He thought it would take a lot of effort for the four of them to turn the camel horse, but he didn't expect it to be quite easy.

Lu Liran glanced at him and twitched the corners of his mouth. If he really weighed more than two thousand catties, he wouldn't go to such lengths.

There was no knife in hand, machete and tomahawk were not suitable for disembowelling, so Lu Liran had to switch back to an outdoor dagger.

He carefully made a **** cut along the belly line. He cut the opening with a small knife, separating the fur and subcutaneous fat just like he used to peel the fur of jumping sheep on the glacier.

He pushed his hands between the fur and the fat compartment, opened up the space with force, and divided the entire camel's fur bit by bit.

This job is not easy to do, the nose is full of the smell of blood and livestock, Lu Liran didn't toss for too long, so he changed Shuhua to do the job.

"See what I did?" He first asked Shuhua and Xiandan.

Shu Hua nodded the fastest, and was directly dragged by Lu Liran to take over.

Shu Hua: "..." It turned out that he was waiting here after asking the question.

He couldn't help but wanted to struggle, and asked, "Didn't you plan to do an autopsy? Why did you become skinned again?"

"Once you speak up, you won't need these skins." Lu Liran said lightly.

Shu Hua wanted to ask why it was not available anymore, but before he could ask, Xian Dan slapped him on the head, urging him to stop talking.

"But we obviously still have some fur..." Shu Hua muttered.

Lu Liran snorted softly: "Don't always think that you have extra things in your hands. One of the main purposes of living in the wild - never waste any resources you have at hand, because you never know what the next accident will be."

Shu Hua heard what he said and thought it made sense, so he stopped muttering, and went to hide the camel horse with his breath held.

After more than ten minutes passed, I heard Shu Hua's broken cry from behind the camel horse: "I can't do it, it really stinks!"

Lu Liran suppressed the uncontrollable smile at the corner of his mouth, nuzzled his lips, and signaled Xiandan to take over.

[Is it my illusion, why do I feel that Brother Lu is like an evil landlord at the moment hahaha——The mutton buns are given to the anchor 1x top-quality Wagyu]

【The two poor **** are sent to do hard work haha】

[Brother Lu is laughing, right? Yes, yes! —Salted fish, fish, give the anchor 1x white truffle]

Xian Yu covered his face, feeling like he smelled the stench of his hapless brother across the live broadcast room.

Xiandan didn't suffer for too long, and under the remote guidance of Lu Liran, he completed the remaining steps of skinning.

"Although the peeling is uneven, it is still peeled off." Lu Liran commented that a whole piece of camel horse skin weighed dozens of kilograms, and it was folded and tied to the other two camel horses.

[Hiss, ask about the psychological shadow area of ​​those two llamas]

[Brother Lu didn't consider the mood of the hump, hahahaha, what a pity, both horses]

[The anchor is careful to be boycotted by people from the Animal Protection Association]

【Too cruel, I want to report】

[Go, go, be nervous, people can't survive, why do you still care about small animals? 】

[No, I was taken away upstairs. Brother Lu is giving the animals that are about to die a good time. If you reuse the waste, where did you get the G-spot of the Animal Protection Association? 】

[Funny, don't worry about being crazy—the meat sheep will give the anchor 1x sukiyaki pot]

Lu Liran walked back to the camel horse, rolled up his sleeves, took the knife, and glanced at the others: "Ready to speak."

Shuhua said it's free, anyway, it can't be more terrible than the stench he suffered just now.

Seeing this, Lu Liran's expression became somewhat meaningful.

He reminded Ke Ji in a low voice to stand farther away and hold his breath, then he held his own breath and cut the knife.

The knife cut through the veins under the muscle fat, and suddenly a foul-smelling pus gushed out from inside. Xiandan and Shuhua quickly moved aside to avoid being swallowed.

An extremely strong sour smell immediately flooded the entire lake, and even the huge shadow in the lake dived and dived.

Shu Hua opened his mouth to say something, but when he opened his mouth, the sour smell came into his mouth, he let out a "yue", and immediately ran to the lake to spit it out.

Xiandan endured it, and when he heard Shuhua vomit overwhelmingly, he couldn't help it anymore, and ran to vomit side by side.

Qin Qi was a little further away, but he was stupefied for a while when he smelled the smell, and he was almost sent away.

"Mr. Lu, what is this..." Qin Qi pinched his nose and asked.

Lu Liran held his breath and did not answer, but opened the incision wider, and the pus inside flowed out of the abdominal cavity, and was absorbed by the soil under his feet.

Soon, the camel's stomach was emptied, except for a solitary stomach bag, and other organs were gone.

After a few glances, he quickly got up and ran a few meters away, taking a deep breath.

Grass, smothered.

Shu Hua's vomiting sound was still in his ears, and the moment he opened his mouth to speak, the smell made him want to vomit, and finally he vomited nothing, and made several retching sounds.

"What the **** is this!?" He asked in a breakdown.

Lu Liran went to the upper lake bank to get some clean water, splashed his mouth and nose, and then said after recovering: "I was bitten by that thing, probably because of the digestive juice."

"What??" Shuhua didn't react.

Ke Ji also ran to Lu Liran to collect water, and explained: "It's just the mouth cutter. There was a sore with the same shape on the sole of the camel horse's foot. The sore was still deep, as if it had been drilled in."

Xiandan took a breath.

Lu Liran nodded: "That's right, but it's unclear what that thing is, and what it will cause is unclear. Only an open-mouth test can make a rough guess."

If it can penetrate through the hoof, the mouthpiece should also be paralytic.

He noticed that the blood vessels inside the camel's abdominal cavity were all purple, and even a rich vascular plexus near the tail had obvious erosions, which should be caused by the digestive juice secreted by the mouthparts.

"I have encountered a creature like this in the Gobi Desert in Death Valley, but I don't know what it is." Lu Liran said, "The local homeless people told me that they call it a duck-neck because it looks like The neck of the duck is thin and long, and it has a mouth. If it is pecked by this thing, no matter whether it is a human or an animal, it will die. No matter where it dies, such things will grow in its body, like flowers and soil."

Shu Hua's eyes widened, he couldn't help but look at the camel horse, and took a step away: "Will that ghost grow out of his body?!"

"I wasn't sure at first, but now after cutting open the camel horse, I almost understand." Lu Liran was not as nervous as Shuhua, he said, "I don't think it's necessarily a duck neck, but that After the creatures died, the things burrowed back into their bodies, began to eat from the inside, and finally broke out of the corpses, and when they were seen by the homeless, another thing grew out of the corpses."

As Lu Liran said, he used a slightly longer branch to gently shake the open chest of the camel horse, and said: "Look here, there are no eggs or anything like that, it is unlikely that they hatched from inside." New life."

Shu Hua rubbed her arms viciously, seeing Lu Liran messing around inside, she couldn't help but want to run and vomit again.

The branch only played a few times in the belly of the camel horse, and when it was taken out again, the top branch had already turned black. Lu Liran rubbed the ground lightly twice, and it turned into charcoal ashes.

It can be seen how amazing the corrosiveness of this digestive juice is.

"What if the person is bitten?" Xiandan asked nervously.

"Digestive juice enters from the blood of the wound. First, you have to hold down the area around the wound to slow down the flow rate. Then, to put it bluntly, it is a strong digestive juice. Try to neutralize the acid and alkali. Or the gecko's tail is completely decisive. .” Lu Liran frowned, unable to think of a better idea for a while.

Xiandan could also hear the uncertainty in Lu Liran's words, he could only pray in his heart, don't run into this ghost thing.

【Brother Lu, this... makes me feel hopeless】

[This thing looks too weird, Brother Lu has actually met it before]

[The anchor has also been to Death Valley? ! brag! Do people go to that kind of place?]

[Is there any specialty in Death Valley? 】

[There is nothing there, just a ditch. Some people say that there are several tons of gold hidden under the ditch, but no one has ever gone down, and those who have gone down have not come up]

"Hey, Mr. Lu has been to Death Valley?" Qin Qi looked at Lu Liran in surprise, a little curious, "What did Mr. Lu go to Death Valley?"

"The test of survival." Lu Liran said.

Qin Qi choked. Who would go there to survive the test? Is it possible to pass this to be a bounty hunter?

Lu Liran pouted in his heart, it was not a system task.

——If you survive successfully, you can get all the auxiliary functions of the system, which are completely open to him. That's why he went there at the beginning, otherwise, even if he survived that fall, the serious injuries on his body would be impossible to recover to the present level with the current medical level.

The others didn't know, and looked at Lu Liran in awe.

Shuhua: "Where else have you been to? Tell me about it? Let me see it!"

Qin Qi: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, what is there in Death Valley? I heard that Death Valley is higher than Sarba in the ranking of the top ten no-man's lands in Desolate Star. What do you think, Mr. Lu?"

Xiandan: "Mr. Lu is really amazing. I heard that there are thousands of tons of gold in Death Valley. I don't know if Mr. Lu knows..."

The corner of Lu Liran's mouth twitched.

Ke Ji looked at him: "Have you ever been to Death Valley? Did you go alone?"

Lu Liran looked over, nodded slightly, and seeing the man's brows tend to frown, he stopped immediately and said, "Life forces me." Don't judge him for his adventurous spirit, the boy is watching in the live broadcast room.

Unexpectedly, the other party frowned even tighter.

Lu Liran couldn't understand what the other party was struggling with, and when he heard that Xiandan was still persistently asking about the gold rumors in Death Valley, he couldn't help laughing: "There is no gold in the deep ditch of Death Valley, but there are tons of bones, what do you want?"

Xiandan choked and closed his mouth.

Lu Liran sneered, and then asked the two men to shave off the flesh and bones of the camel horse.

"Is this meat still edible?!" Shu Hua stared wide-eyed.

"It's not poisonous, why can't you eat it?" Lu Liran raised his eyebrows, "The sound of the thorn bird is different from it, this one can be eaten."

"...so smelly." Shuhua whispered.

He hadn't thought about whether it was poisonous or not.

Lu Liran: "..."

Although the taste was not good, Xiandan and Shuhua thought about the little rations they had left, and after comparing the worms that Mr. Lu had eaten with the camel meat in front of them, they still felt that the meat was better than worms.

Sure?

"I finally know why Mr. Lu asked us to cut off the fur first." Shu Hua said while cutting the flesh, although she could still smell the nauseating sour smell, but she didn't know if she had loosened up or got used to it. It seems that it is not so difficult to accept, he whispered to Xiandan, "Fortunately, the fur was cut and kept far away, otherwise if it is splashed with acid water, I would rather freeze to death than hold that thing for warmth."

Xiandan gave him a funny look: "Don't be stubborn all the time, I think you will regret it every day after you finish talking."

Shu Hua choked.

"Then you would rather starve to death than eat this meat?" Xiandan asked him.

Shu Hua shook his head: "Of course I eat it, otherwise what would I cut it for?"

"Doesn't it stink?"

"Meat can be so stinky, it will be fragrant after roasting, just like the leg of lamb that Mr. Lu roasted that night." Shu Hua said, drooling.

Xiandan gave him a disgusted look, but her stomach growled honestly.

Lu Liran said to Ke Ji: "You stay here with them, I'll go and look around, I don't know where those people from the Merchant Fleet went."

"I'm with you." Ke Ji said.

"It's safer here, I don't know what I'll encounter if I go inside." Lu Liran said with a frown.

"That happens to be a help." Ke Ji insisted.

"..." Lu Liran wanted to say that it would be safer for him to go by himself, but he hesitated for two seconds when he met Ke Ji's gaze, and nodded slightly, "Well, I don't feel at ease if I hand you over to the three over there, so I'll follow along." I'm safe."

Ke Ji smiled, the tails of his eyes turned up, his steel-blue pupils became extremely gentle, and his already beautiful facial features became much brighter because of this smile. Behind him is the blue lake, bright sunshine, green grass and tall trees. Lu Liran looked a little dazed, as if he was in a country park, not some desert oasis that would eat people.

"... Mr. Lu, we can hear what you say, you know?" Qin Qi sat on the horseback and asked tentatively.

The words just now are really heart-wrenching.

Lu Liran came back to his senses upon hearing the sound, secretly spitting that he was almost dazzled by the beauty, and when he heard Qin Qi's question, he distractedly asked, "I know, what's wrong?"

"...That's nothing." Qin Qi touched the tip of his nose, and looked sympathetically at the captain and brother Shu who were still struggling with the bones of the hunchback.

Apparently, Mr. Lu didn't care whether they were hurt or not.

[Laughing, brother Lu, shrimp and pig heart! —Ahaha, give the host 500x rice grains]

[An honest person pokes people's hearts without knowing it (dog head)]

"Then Mr. Lu, shall we camp here tonight?" Qin Qi hurriedly asked again before Lu Liran was about to leave.

Lu Liran nodded and said, "Unless I find a more suitable place, it will be near here. Find a place with a slightly higher terrain and farther away from the lake."

Qin Qi nodded.

Xiandan and Shuhua looked at each other, and they turned around at the same time, not daring to continue to turn their backs to the lake.

Seeing this, Lu Liran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and didn't say much.

After he judged the direction, he and Ke Ji turned around and walked into the bushes.

"It's been four days since we entered the desert. It's a bit far from the place I planned to evacuate, and I'm not sure if I can get back in time." After walking into the forest, Lu Liran said to the live broadcast room.

"If we give up on looking for those people in the merchant fleet, we may still have time to leave here tomorrow morning." Lu Liran walked forward as he spoke, waving the bushes and branches in front of him, "But if we give up on looking for them, I'm afraid Those people have no way of surviving."

It’s not that he underestimated the people in the Merchant Fleet, but that this place is really dangerous. Even among the interstellar soldiers who have been trained strictly, only he and Jin Fei persisted until the end, not to mention that this team is just a merchant fleet. .

Lu Liran didn't have much hope, but he couldn't just give up on those people.

Back then when he was in danger, he tried his best to take someone out, but now that he still has the strength, how could he not try his best to take the living people out to find a ghostly place?

Lu Liran looked at the drone, showing a helpless smile: "Maybe I have to go home late this time."

He was talking to Jin Fei and Zai Zai.

Ke Ji's heart swelled slightly, he stretched out his hand to grab Lu Liran, but he only touched Lu Liran's sleeve, and his grasp was in vain.

In the hotel, Jin Fei sat in front of the light brain with his little friend Lu Ziqian in his arms, quietly looked at the man on the screen who was a bit embarrassed but still determined, and said softly: "No matter how late you come home, Jin Fei will be waiting for you at home." Young master, young master too."

Zai Zai nodded against the butler's warm chest.

He twisted his little **** and asked Jin Fei uneasily: "Is Papa going to save someone? Will it be dangerous?"

"It will be a little dangerous, but the young master is even more powerful." Jin Fei whispered.

Hearing this, Lu Ziqian lightly clenched his small fists: "I saw that uncle was there, we met before, uncle will protect Papa, right?"

Jin Fei froze for a moment, looked at the Omega who was following her young master, and thought of the previous violent behavior of that person, couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, and hesitated for a few seconds: "Probably...?"

By the way, are the current Omegas so tough? As Beta's butler, he said he didn't understand.

Lu Liran and Ke Ji walked forward for a while, and stopped until they were completely blocked by dense bushes in front of them. He frowned slightly, and couldn't help being a little puzzled——

From time to time, birdsong could be heard in the woods, but there wasn't a single bird to be seen.

"Strange." Lu Liran frowned slightly, "The sound seems to be nearby, why didn't I see even a bird's nest or even a piece of bird droppings?"

Ke Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, he walked up to Lu Liran, and with a few swipes of the machete, he split open the wall-like barrier in front of him that was tightly covered by bushes.

He let out a sigh of relief, turned to greet Lu Liran: "Come and see here."

Lu Liran walked over quickly: "Tsk, how many times have I told you, don't come in front of me..."

He paused, and suddenly opened his eyes.

The drone rose into the air, flew out of the dense forest, and shot an unparalleled bird's-eye view—

I saw Lu Liran and Ke Ji standing on the edge of an intertwined bush. A few steps in front of them was a huge deep pit vertically going down.

The deep pit is about 100 meters deep, the size of six or seven lakes outside, and it is covered with lush and towering trees. Birds are singing, and you can see clusters of birds shuttling between the crowns.

Lu Liran stared blankly, took a breath, and murmured: "This is the real oasis in the desert..."

Compared with the deep pit oasis, the forest they are in is simply child's play.

Ke Ji took the lead to look back, and looked around. He suddenly noticed something, and walked quickly to Lu Liran's left hand side a few meters away.

Seeing this, Lu Liran went over and saw the problem with this bush at a glance.

He also took two quick steps, and brushed away the bushes in front of him, and saw that these bushes seemed to have been crushed, and with a light swipe, they fell down, and all the roots were broken.

Lu Liran squatted down, and the drone flew close to give a panoramic view. The short grass on the ground was obviously crushed, extending all the way to the edge. He brushed away the grass on the ground, and he could still see the messy data. footprints.

"It should be from the Merchant Fleet!" Lu Liran's eyes lit up, pointing to the ground and said, "Look at the ground, the footprints are messy and the footprints are different. At least three or four people have walked here."

"These people seem to be in a panic." Ke Ji murmured, "There is a deep pit in front of them. Even if they didn't find it, they would not be able to travel very fast in such a forest, but these traces show that they did not slow down at all. It even rushed towards the direction of the deep pit very quickly."

Lu Liran understood what Ke Ji meant when he heard the words, his eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Something is chasing them."

Ke Ji nodded.

He looked around, the surroundings were peaceful and peaceful, and he couldn't see that there had been a big chase here a few hours ago.

What on earth is chasing those people? Don't so many people even have the slightest resistance?

Lu Liran and Ke Ji stood there in silence. They looked down at the dense oasis of deep pits, with a distance of about 100 meters. Going on, but a completely different concept.

"If those people fall, the possibility of surviving..." Lu Liran lowered his voice and looked at Ke Ji.

Ke Ji pressed Lu Liran's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Tell Xiandan and the others first, let them know. As for the rest, let them make the decision."

Lu Liran nodded slightly.

When the two were about to leave, Lu Liran found a rope hidden in the tangled bushes.

He wanted to take the rope back with the intention of recycling, but as soon as he took the rope, the tightness made Lu Liran realize that something was wrong.

There was no need for him to call Ke Ji, the man who had been focusing on Lu Liran immediately stepped forward, and the two walked back to the edge of the cliff along the tight rope.

The tightness of the rope was obviously due to a heavy object hanging on one end. After searching carefully for a while, the two found that one end of the rope was stuck between several big trees. The trunk tightened, no wonder it didn't fall with the weight.

The two pulled up together, but the rope only moved a few centimeters, and then it seemed to be completely stuck.

Seeing this, Lu Liran and Ke Ji looked at each other, and looked down, and saw that the other end of the rope was submerged in the branches of the trees on the cliff, and they couldn't see the situation below.

"Is this the same rope they were tied together?" Lu Liran asked hesitantly, but even if it was the same rope, it is unlikely that the group of people would continue to be tied together, and it would be inconvenient to move.

Ke Ji pulled the tight rope a few more times, his strength was astonishing, and he could clearly feel that the sides of the rope seemed to be stuck by rocks, tightly stuck, and there was no sign of loosening at all.

Ke Ji looked back at the trunks tightened by the ropes. Those big trees were at least a hundred years old. .

Seeing this, he said to Lu Liran: "I'll go down and have a look. I guess there may be survivors down there."

Lu Liran frowned when he heard this, held Ke Ji and frowned and said, "Why are you going down, back off."

"It's hard to tell what's going on down here, and no one can go down rashly." Lu Liran continued.

He glared at Ke Ji, and then with a thought, he controlled the drone to slowly sink and fly towards the layered leaf barrier that made it impossible to see the state underneath.

The drone camera ball is small and dexterous, and can easily pass through dense branches.

Everyone in the live broadcast room seemed to be sitting in the first-person perspective, as if they were walking through the densely packed tree branches, and no one knew what scenes would be behind these tree branches.

【So nervous, so exciting, so curious】

[Suddenly dreaming back to the copy of the shipwreck]

[? Don’t say that upstairs, once you say that my shadow comes again]

[To be honest, this angle of view is really similar. Now I am afraid that when I pass through the branch of a tree in the next second, I will see a white bone falling from behind...]

[Qiaoqiu is an individual, forget about it]

Lu Liran was also staring at the live broadcast room. The function of the drone camera ball at this time was like a bug with a movable viewing angle. It was very versatile and a golden finger.

It can also detect signs of life.

Previously, he was able to find Rock Feller in the ice crevasse of the Alok Glacier, relying on such a bug-like golden finger setting.

He didn't expect that the digging system didn't have a way to cancel this function.

system:"…"

Lu Liran adjusted the mode of the drone to heat display, and saw that in the image from the drone camera ball, there were six or seven human figures huddled together, and it was obvious that the heat display represented survival.

"found it!"
