The main reason why Lu Jing rejected Brahman was that the bronze statue was just an accidental artifact created by those guys from Brahma religion who performed blood sacrifices.
The reason why I brought it with me was to add an extra layer of insurance to my trip to Bailongbo.
But that doesn't mean that without it, everyone wouldn't be able to find the bead.
Lu Jing believed that since the being tens of thousands of years ago left a star map, it meant that there was a way to find the bead by relying on the star map, but it might take a little more effort.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Lu Jing certainly hopes to find the bead as soon as possible, but he is not so crazy that he would kill someone to fill it.
Hearing his answer, Shitou also breathed a sigh of relief.
In just a short moment, he felt as if he had been lifted out of the water, and his back was wet. The night in the Gobi Desert was quite cold, especially when the cold wind blew, which made the stone hit again. A shiver. .
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he planned to stuff Brahma Tian back into the box, and even considered finding a place to dig a hole and bury it. Anyway, this guy was unwilling to cooperate, so it seemed that it would be of little use if he kept it.
On the contrary, it is easy to destroy the harmonious atmosphere within the team.
But just as he was walking towards Brahma, he heard the bronze statue sigh again and compromise, "Then give me a camel...Give me a camel and I will tell you what I know."
Lu Jing stopped when he heard this.
The nine people brought quite a lot of camels when they went deep into Bailongbo this time, and there was a surplus. Moreover, they had also consumed some dry food and drinking water recently, and some camels were available.
Lu Jing is not an extreme animal activist, and it is not impossible to sacrifice a camel to Brahma Tianjin.
"You'd better provide me with something useful." Lu Jing said, "Otherwise, I'll make you spit out whatever you eat later."
Bratian blinked his remaining eye and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Lu Jing then asked Shitou to select the oldest camel and bring it to the bronze statue.
Although the bronze statue no longer has arms, as it looked at the old camel, the latter seemed to have a premonition of its own fate and let out a mournful cry.
Then he fell to his knees on the ground.
Blood flowed continuously from its nose, mouth and eyes.
Brahma put his face up to it, as if he was smelling something delicious.
Then the camel put its head on the ground again. Brahma stretched out a foot and stepped on the camel's head. With just a slight exertion, the camel's head was crushed by him.
Blood and brains splattered everywhere.
A look of greed flashed across Brattian's face, and he knelt down and sucked in the remaining things in his head.
This eerie scene made Shi Shi feel sick to his stomach.
Especially when he thought that if Lu Jing had not objected just now, it would not be the camel but him that would be slapped, he felt a chill in his heart, and quietly took two steps back, away from the bronze statue.
After enjoying the delicious food, Brahma stood up again and let out a groan of satisfaction, "Unfortunately, this sacrifice is still a bit inferior. It doesn't taste as good as humans, but you can't be too particular about it when you go out."
As it spoke, it glanced at Shitou again intentionally or unintentionally, and grinned at the latter, and then turned its head to Lu Jing, "The reason why the direction keeps changing is because the location of the thing you are looking for is originally there. It’s not set in stone.”
"Um?"
"That thing is in a living creature." Brahma said.
"What living thing?"
"I don't know what it is, but judging from its appearance, it should be a snail." The bronze statue was also a little unsure.
"snails?"
"Don't underestimate that snail, even I don't want to provoke it." Brahma Tianda said, "Of course, this is because I am just a ray of spiritual thought descending on this bronze statue. If my true body is here, haha... "
Lu Jing didn't want to hear his bragging, so he interrupted him directly, "Are you making fun of us? We've had our heads turned several times these days. How can a snail have such good leg strength?"
"Oh, that thing moves really fast under the sand. You will know it when you see it." Brahman said.
After saying that, there was no need for Lu Jing to chase it away, and it just sat back in the box honestly.
"And let me tell you another good news. I can feel that we are getting closer to the bead."
After saying that, the bronze statue lay down in the box.
…………
Although Lu Jing did not completely trust Brautian, the latter's words still shocked everyone in the team.
Because this means that their previous efforts were not in vain.
They are indeed getting closer to their goal.
However, a group of nine people wandered in the desert for another month, but still did not find the bead, nor did they see the snail that Brahma mentioned.
Even Aoi, who had always been calm, couldn't help but become a little irritable.
Because there is less and less time left for the nine people.
"We are completely going in circles," the girl said, "and we have been going around at least three times."
Compared with when they first entered Bailongbo, everyone's faces and skin were much tanned, and even the two sunscreen powder boxes Wen Xiaochuan brought were almost empty.
However, the latter did not clamor to go back, but just imitated Shitou and wrapped two more circles of black cloth under the curtain hat, revealing only a pair of big watery eyes.
As for the camels in the team, only nine camels were left after being eaten by Brahma.
Starting about ten days ago, it no longer gave any useful information. It only repeated that it was very close, but it couldn't give an accurate number about how close it was.
Lu Jing had no other choice but to continue on his way according to Professor Xu's stargazing results.
It was almost evening, and it was another day of nothing.
Lu Jing also stopped practicing swordsmanship and planned to get off the camel's back to make a fire and cook together.
But at this moment, a turbulent river suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lu Jing asked Shi Shi who was walking in front, "Is there a river in Bailongbo?"
The look on Shitou's face was also a little dazed, but he soon thought of something, and his expression changed, "This... this is a ghost market."
As he spoke, he knelt down and started to kowtow to the river over there.
"What ghost market?" Lu Jing asked.
"I...I don't know, but sometimes when we lead the team through Bailongbo, we will see some things here that should not exist in this world, but we can never get close or touch them. The older generation calls this a ghost market.”
Shitou was afraid and said, "When you encounter a ghost market, don't keep staring at it. You must quickly lower your head and pray."
And after hearing what he said, a word flashed in Lu Jing's mind, mirage?
It's not too strange that something like this would appear in the desert.
Lu Jing did not join in the procession of worshiping the stone, but he thought of another thing.
Mirages are also related to the refraction of light. Could this be related to the bead they are looking for?
