On the other side of the sea, where the desert meets the sea.

Since Shao Xuan disappeared on the coast, Sapphire took the team to the beach every day after taking care of some of the Golden Armored Guards to see if Shao Xuan was back.

This is very hard for the people in Tianlun City, which is the closest to there. The outgoing patrol team encountered the army of beetles several times, and every time they saw the black wave, they flew away. After getting along for a long time, everyone in Tianlun City knows that those worms eat meat, don't they stay and wait to be eaten? Haven't seen how many bugs there are? !

As the days passed, Sapphire also felt that Shao Xuan was getting further and further away from here. Because of the frequent occurrence of insect tides, very few people have come to this coast, and even the beasts in the desert have rarely appeared, avoiding these black tides.

Food was scarce, and he couldn't go in the sea. Sapphire could only take the army of beetles to other places temporarily. When he noticed Shao Xuan's return, he came here to greet him.

The desert has been swept away by war, and the first to break the city is Baishicheng, followed by other cities. In order to avoid the fate of being killed, the slaves without masters fled to other places. The desert is so big that the slave owners are busy fighting and will not spend too much energy to recover those slaves. For slave owners, those slaves were too cheap to be worth a lot of labor.

The big blue beetle took the army of beetles to forage everywhere, and more and more beetles joined the team. I don't know when, the beetles living in the animal enclosure have become less and less, their diets are changing, and these beetles are also changing.

The battlefield after the battle is an excellent place. They continued to act as scavengers throughout the desert, cleaning up the remnants of the battlefield, leaving only bones and other unusable implements.

In the past, most of them lived in animal pens and acted as cleaners of animal pens, but now. They act as sweepers of the entire desert.

As a beetle who has pushed balls since he was a child, even though Sapphire has become a lot bigger now and the recipe has changed, the habit is still there. After sweeping the battlefield, it will collect some of the battlefield and wrap it into a large ball. Push and play. Running around with an army of beetles while pushing the ball. Except when it burrows into the ground when it sleeps, it is outside the sand at other times.

If it weren't for the fact that many people would run away when they saw the beetle. After sweeping the battlefield, the leading big blue beetle pushed a large ball and rolled around on the sand. Behind the blue beetle, who was standing upside down and pushed the ball with two long legs, a large number of small black beetles followed closely.

————

A group of slaves who escaped from the city due to the war between slave owners walked in groups and walked on the desert, with only a few pieces of rags hanging on their bodies, covered with various stains and wounds.

Among them, half of them were the lowest-ranking slaves in the city and had not yet recognized their masters. Therefore, it did not gain power from the slave owners. The possibility of such tourist-like slaves surviving in the desert is almost zero. Fortunately, there are still half of the slaves in the team who once recognized their masters. Dilemma, capture some small desert beasts to satisfy their hunger.

There is a certain blood relationship between these slaves. They have been slaves for generations, and they are familiar with each other. They are still united, otherwise it is impossible to escape collectively.

From the moment they escaped from the city, it was impossible for them to go back, and there was still a chance of life outside. But if they go back, they will definitely be killed by the slave owners. They don't want to be cannon fodder on the battlefield, they don't want to be killed by slave owners, they just want to survive.

There are men and women in the team, some old people and some people who are not sick or weak, but they have been in the desert for a long time. also become weak.

They settled in a long-abandoned place, one that probably some slave owner had built, and that was enough.

There may have been many slaves who fled here before them, but in the end, for some reason, those slaves turned into bones.

To their surprise, there was also a small spring pool here, which might have been an oasis at one time. Later, the underground spring pool shrunk and the water quality was turbid, and it was abandoned.

Even turbid water is extremely precious to these fleeing slaves, and this water allows them to continue to survive.

For a period of time when they first arrived here, they were afraid every day, for fear of seeing the slave owner's army, but gradually, they let go of their worries. Except for the occasional one or two fierce desert beasts passing by, they did not see anything else.

One day, the sun was in the sky, and the scorching sun scorched the earth.

People in the wasteland leaned against the wall, resting with their eyes closed in the shadows.

Suddenly, a dark man holding a stone spear suddenly opened his eyes, got up and jumped up the broken wall, looking in one direction.

Seeing this, the others also got up vigilantly, picked up various rough tools, and looked in that direction.

In the distance, there is a team approaching, it is the army of slave owners, the sand and dust caused by riding beasts and running on the ground are flying. Although it is still far away, these refugees have already smelled the smell of blood.

Wherever the slave owner's army passed, all the slaves who ran away, no matter which city they were from, were slaughtered.

The man standing on the broken wall looked over there with ruthless eyes, his lean body was tensed, and on the back of his hand holding the spear, the meridians throbbed suddenly. He looked like a wolf in a desperate situation, still unwilling to back down.

His legs were tight, he lowered his head, and his younger son, who was less than five years old, was hugging his legs with panic in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, go back." The man said.

A woman came and picked up the child and gathered with the others.

When encountering the army of the slave owners, they can only escape. After the young one left with a bit of ability, the others packed up and prepared to leave as soon as possible.

The team of slave owners was getting closer and closer, and they also saw signs of slave activity in the abandoned land. The leader of the team roared, and the team accelerated and rushed forward. All the slaves they encountered outside were killed without mercy!

The rumbling was approaching like a dull thunder, and the air seemed to be full of killing and evil spirits.

The roaring sound was getting closer, but on the other side, the people who left the abandoned land did not run far. Compared with the army of the slave owners, their speed was too slow.

The hoarse voice of the person standing on the broken wall sounded. He planned to meet the slaughterers in the desert, but soon he found that the murderous team rushing towards this side suddenly slowed down as if they had stepped on the brakes, and the people running behind in the team had no time to stop. . He slammed into the person in front of him directly, not knowing why.

The line of slave owners stopped. Without moving forward, the people standing on the broken wall of the abandoned land looked at each other, seeing the doubts in each other's eyes, and couldn't understand what happened.

However, when they found the sight of the riding team and looked behind them, they were shocked to see a scene that they will never forget.

A sharp sand dune appeared in the air, and on top of the dune, there was something like a bug. Is pushing a big ball to the top of the hill.

They had been here for several days, and they had never seen such a sight. The dune seemed to suddenly appear in mid-air, which shocked them like a miracle.

The slaves who fled here don't know what the pusher is, but the slave owner's team is very clear, in the desert. As long as you encounter the group of black insects, you have two choices: first, stay and die; second, run!

The leader chose the second one. Compared with the lowly runaway slaves like ants, they cared more about their own lives. The reins were pulled vigorously. The leader of the team controlled the riding beast and turned to leave.

The aggressively rushing team took a few breaths before turning around and running away.

The fugitive slaves who were not far from the abandoned land watched the miracle in the air. An elderly man immediately knelt down in excitement, and the others followed. They felt that the miracle just now saved them. but. What did the miracle show just now? dune? And what's with the push ball?

For a while after that, they did not see the slave owner's team coming.

After a while, the people who stayed in the abandoned land really saw the black beetle army that appeared like a wave. The most conspicuous one was the big blue beetle that was rolling with the ball at the head.

When they saw such a worm tide, the people in the abandoned land were so frightened that their faces turned grey. Facing the slave owners' team, they could still fight hard, but they really didn't know how to deal with such a worm tide. Is good.

fight? How to fight? It seems impossible to escape, right? There has been a dense circle around!

On the contrary, an elderly man in the wasteland was very excited. When he saw the big blue beetle pushing a ball, he picked up a beast his son had just caught, and headed straight for the swarm of insects. Too late to pull.

Seeing that man dragged his food and ran towards the insect tide as if he committed suicide, everyone else was stunned.

Sapphire has been here once. Why were there so few beasts in this abandoned land before? Because the insect tide swept here once. Wherever the insect tide sweeps away, there will be no other beasts wandering around in the short term. This is also the main reason why these refugees can spend those days in the deserted land.

When Sapphire saw a person coming towards him, he wanted to slash his paw, but when the other party was more than ten meters away, he knelt down and moved towards it, and the one in his hand was not big. The beast of the point is thrown towards it.

The sapphire doesn't move, and the other beetles don't move easily, even if they want to nibble off the meat.

He walked over slowly, looked at the beast thrown on the ground, picked up the sapphire paw, and threw the meat to his younger brother, this kind of meat he didn't like.

The beast thrown into the worm pile was instantly submerged by the rush of worms, and the blood in the whole body of the people in the abandoned place seemed to be frozen, and it was like falling into an ice cave.

After throwing away the beast, Sapphire looked at the person who was kneeling in front of him, um, there was no aggressiveness, no murderous intent, and after a closer look, Sapphire came to a conclusion - not delicious!

At this time, Sapphire noticed that there was a place in the distance that seemed to be another war, and could not care about the people here. It greeted other beetles and rushed over to the battlefield without even bringing the ball that rolled over. If it is slow, the food left after the war will be robbed by other animals!

The swarms of insects left in a mighty manner, and not long after, there was only a barren sandy field and a bone that was gnawed without leaving any shreds of meat. It was the beast that had just been thrown past.

No, what was left was a big ball that was much taller than people, pushed over by the big blue beetle just now.

The people in the abandoned land confirmed that after the insect tide had left, the blood that seemed to be frozen melted. The young man ran over and helped the elder who was still kneeling on the ground.

But when they got up and looked at the big ball, they found that there were a lot of good things in the big ball!

Swords, axes, spears, animal armor and leather, and some other bones, branches, large and small pieces of cloth, and so on.

Seeing this, the elder immediately burst into tears and knelt to the ground again. He felt that this was the reward left to them by the big blue beetle.

They got better weapons from this ball, as well as fur, armor, clothing, etc. to protect themselves, and branches, animal bones, and cloth, etc., to build a roof for wind and sun.

The elders used a stone knife to carve a picture on the highest wall in the abandoned land where they settled and worshiped every day.

In the painting, the beetle has been upside down, with a ball above the beetle. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
