When cutting the meat, several crocodile eggs were found in the abdomen of the giant crocodile, but most of them were not formed. Only one seemed to be complete, so Qin Bai put it away.
At that time, put the crocodile eggs in the aquarium to see if they can hatch.
The body of the giant crocodile was quickly dismembered. It looked huge, but in fact it could not eat much meat, only its limbs, chest and abdomen.
And it seems to be quite tough, so I'm afraid it will take a long time to stew.
During this period, everyone tacitly understood that the bones on the ground could only be used to feed the giant beast, but in such a harsh environment, one should not think too much about it. It would be nice to have something to eat.
The crocodile skin was cut off. Some were too heavy to carry and had to be abandoned. Only Qin Bai secretly put the toughest piece into the fish bag.
The border patrol continued on its journey, this time with plenty of supplies, and it was still a return journey.
But as the journey passed halfway, everyone felt something was wrong. Theoretically, the temperature would drop slightly as we approached the outer reaches of the desert, but now it was even hotter.
Moreover, the wind and sand became more and more intense, which greatly affected the speed of the horses.
After the team climbed over a sand dune, they looked into the distance, and everyone's face showed surprise.
A small oasis appeared in sight. There was no lake in it, and its area was much smaller than the previous oasis.
Mr. Zheng's eyes widened as if he had seen something incredible, and he murmured to himself.
"Impossible...impossible...we were obviously walking towards the south, how could we go deeper and deeper."
Wang Sheng immediately listened to his words, his heart was shaken and he quickly asked: "Old Zheng, what's going on?"
Mr. Zheng came to his senses after a while and replied with a wry smile: "That is the second oasis in the desert, and our position is deeper into it."
Pang Yong, who was not far away, saw the two people talking and immediately drove over. After the three of them combined, they told Qin Bai and let him decide.
Qin Bai had already predicted that his paper sword was hanging in the air. In fact, he noticed something strange in the situation earlier. The border patrol seemed to be guided deep into the desert.
He suspected that the quicksand in the entire desert was constantly flowing. If this was the case, it would be difficult to find a way to break the situation, unlike a ghost trying to break a wall.
"No matter what, let's go check out the situation first."
Wang Sheng and others nodded in agreement, and the team headed towards the oasis.
After more than half an hour, as they approached the oasis, a rotten smell hit their faces. Xia Bing, who had never experienced battlefield killings, suddenly started coughing.
Qin Bai walked quickly at the front of the team. He looked around and saw several animal carcasses more than ten meters long lying across the oasis.
Most of the corpses had only white bones left, and some of the skeletons had some carrion on them, which attracted a few scavenging birds.
Qin Bai soon discovered that these corpses were not just giant crocodiles, but also various animals, characterized by their huge size.
There are also many human bones on the ground. From this point of view, it seems that every oasis is a breeding ground.
Xia Bing used a compass to detect it, and found that there was no demonic presence nearby, but the current situation did not appear to be natural.
They discussed the next matter, and Qin Bai decided to continue on the road. He was not very afraid of monsters.
The current situation should be that something is affecting them, not like a demon, but like a magic circle, so the only way is to find the cause.
Qin Bai asked the others to choose to follow him on the road or stay in the oasis. Except for Zheng Laocai, they all chose the former.
The border patrol just replenished the water supply and continued on the road. After all, it was not safe to stay in the oasis. No one was sure whether there would be a demon attack, and Mr. Zheng had no choice but to follow him.
This time the team went in the opposite direction, specifically heading deeper south.
But even this was of no use. Five days later, a third oasis appeared in front of us, with an area far larger than the previous oasis.
Qin Bai narrowed his eyes slightly as the wind and sand crackled on his body. This time, there were no bones all over the ground.
But the situation in the oasis is even weirder. There are many mounds with caves standing in it, and some figures are shuttled among them.
Everyone looked at each other, there is nothing more absurd than seeing something that shouldn't be there somewhere.
This is deep in the desert, a restricted area of life. How can anyone live here?
The last time Mr. Zheng came here was more than ten years ago, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
Now there is no way out, the border patrol is heading towards the oasis. Although Qin Bai is not afraid of demons, he still puts a Huang Qiong sword in his sleeves.
He has completely mastered the flying sword. Although its potential is still far from its upper limit, it is powerful enough.
Qin Bai can now rely on Huang Qiongjian to fly at low altitude and short distance with the sword, which is the best means of escape.
When the night gradually got darker, they came closer to the oasis. People in the mound came out one after another and looked at them with incomprehensible eyes.
These people were sallow, skinny, and covered in animal skins, unable to communicate at all.
Qin Bai glanced at Xia Bing, who took out the compass silently, but the pointer showed no reaction.
She dripped some more blood, and then the compass pointer started to move: "There seems to be signs of demons, but these seem to be just ordinary people?"
"How is it possible? This is not a documentary scene of multiple people surviving in the wilderness."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Although they didn't understand, they could feel the coldness in Qin Bai's tone.
His palm rubbed the blade of Huang Qiongjian, and his other arm was ready to take out the sword at any time.
The system prompt sounded when they arrived at the oasis, which seemed to indicate something.
[Qingqiu]: Qingqiu, reward: sign-in time - 20, points 110, Qingqiu Pill.
Although the introduction of the achievement is very vague, the word "Qingqiu" is closely related to fox demons, and it is the place where fox demons gather in rumors.
It has developed so far that it has no connection with the plot of Painted Skin, but since it is a fox demon causing trouble, let's say hello with a hammer.
Qin Bai walked boldly at the front, holding a bag full of knives in his hand.
Ever since his martial arts cultivation reached An Jin, he had never tried the limits of his magical power of forging iron, so this time he was able to give it a try.
Each of the border patrol soldiers pulled out their long knives. They all got off their horses and chose to walk.
The weirdos in the oasis have all disappeared, hiding somewhere, but from time to time, dense footsteps can be heard.
Wang Sheng couldn't help but ask: "What should we do now, look for traces of the demon?"
"What are you looking for? I think that hill is very good. I can occupy it just right."
Qin Bai pointed to the outskirts of the oasis, and there happened to be a lonely hill standing there. It was a good place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
