Pirates of Spades Pirates
Chapter 44 The Man-Eating Desert
The endless desert is vast and majestic, high and boundless, and seems to interpret the weight of heaven and earth. .
But in this majestic place, there is a dead silence...
Looking around, there is fine yellow sand everywhere, except for sand, there is no living thing.
It seems like I am the only one left in this long world, surrounded by shadows in this boundless desert, with the sand as my companion, and drinking alone into the sky.
Looking up into the distance, even further away, sand dunes of different heights lie horizontally under the scorching sun. From a distance, they look like corpses abandoned in the desert, lifeless.
Because the air was distorted by the high temperature, the sand dunes seemed to be dancing, but there was no trace of yellow sand rising up, making the scene look strange and quiet, giving the scene a ghostly feeling of demons and monsters baring their teeth.
The group of people were in a desert that was so desolate that there was no cool breeze or moisture. Breathing the hot and dry air, they could feel the hot sand through the soles of their shoes, and it felt as if sand had entered their throats.
Ryan couldn't help but shrugged his throat and swallowed hard.
He looked down at his kettle, thought about it, and put it down.
Suddenly stepping from the humid sea into the desert, several people were not very accustomed to it. Even Uncle Hayes and Joseph, who were born and raised here, couldn't help but frown and squint their eyes.
The two sighed quietly and said, "There hasn't been a drop of rain in three years. This place used to be more desolate. You could still see some spiders and lizards before, but now you can't even see a single reptile."
"Joseph, take some gauze scarves from my luggage for the gentlemen and ladies." Hayes said, covering his hands with the burning sun.
"Yes, my master."
Joseph put one hand on his chest, bowed respectfully, opened the suitcase he was carrying on the ground, took out a dozen neatly folded gauze scarves, and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Ryan quickly wrapped a brown gauze scarf around his head and neck.
The gauze scarf is soft in texture, smooth to the touch, and can block out the scorching sun and some high temperatures. The effect is better than expected, at least it can alleviate the scorching heat of the desert.
But...who said he needs to use gauze to insulate?Isn't the advantage of his ability that he can deal with most situations?
"Now, Zanpakuto Sode Shirayuki." Ryan whispered.
Ding!
The slender white snow sleeves were cut out, and a round icicle suddenly appeared on the ground that could only be surrounded by three or five people hugging each other, exuding a cool white chill in the desert.
shhhhh......
Ryan slashed several times in succession, and the huge ice block was chopped into dozens of smaller ice blocks in an instant. It was very comfortable for each person to hold one piece in his hand.
"It's great to have Ryan on the ship." Ran Duo immediately rubbed the ice and said with a contented look on her face. Her fur was almost killing her.
"Tsk, tsk, flames, magnetism, and the ability to create ice cubes. People with Devil Fruit abilities are really enviable." Hayes couldn't help but admire.
......
"It's okay. At this temperature, it's not too hot."
Only Ace, not wearing a silk scarf, not afraid of the heat, wearing his unusually cool black shorts, naked, holding up the crystal ice cube in his hand, looked at it, and said so.
"Cancel."
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the ice cube in Ace's hand immediately disappeared without a trace.
Look at other people, they are all holding a piece of ice to bring coolness.
"..." Ace.
Although he is a user with the ability of Shao Shao, this temperature is indeed nothing, but it doesn't have to be so extreme...after all, he is also the captain.
"You don't need it anyway, save my energy." Ryan said matter-of-factly.
Ace shrugged, not really going to argue with Ryan.
But Ryan is really pragmatic and doesn't give any face. It doesn't matter to a captain like him. If it were another captain, he might keep a small notebook.
Several other people were wearing gauze scarves and holding ice cubes in their hands, facing the scorching sun on the desert road.
Because there were no obvious markers, Hayes didn't know where they were, so he could only try in one direction.
However, as they moved forward in the desert, apart from being a bit dull, they did not encounter any danger.
I encountered a few cacti, but they were all withered, and the flowers they bloomed were also withered and yellow. They were lying quietly in the yellow sand.
Encountered a river, but the river had dried up long ago, leaving only a shallow river to prove that water had flowed here.
Encountered several poplar trees, the bare trunks stretched out to the sky like arms shouting to the sky, very heroic.
They did see a few reptiles in Haisikou, but most of them were weak, and they didn't encounter any of the possible ferocious desert creatures. All they encountered were their corpses half-covered by the yellow sand... .
After walking for a long time, the sun gradually set in the west, and the blood-red sun hung in the western sky. The bright red sunlight shrouded the desert like a layer of blood, a crimson color that stimulated the vision of several people.
After struggling for a long time in the barren, desolate, and unbearable desert, sand got into my shoes several times.
Suddenly, dozens of life fluctuations appeared within the range of Ryan's color perception!
Such a discovery made Ryan's spirit shaken. He stepped on his feet and his whole body turned into an invisible wind and shot out.
Ace's reaction was not slow either. Although he didn't have the domineering power, he could see Ryan's movements. He waved his left hand, and a cluster of flames suddenly lit up from the soles of his feet.
"Liuyan!"
call out!
The scorching flame condensed on his feet like a surfboard, and a streamer-like flame tail emerged from behind, riding the sand and breaking the waves in the sand sea.
Although he could turn into flames and fly, he could only make do with it. After the battle with Smoker, he came up with a method of movement for himself, called Flowing Flame.
Seeing the two people who were still able to keep up with the pace even after walking for a long time, Landuo could only say: "The spirits are so good."
The few of them walked in the desert for a long time, and their feet were almost worn out. Looking at the direction in which the two of them were going, they couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Landuo's words, people can't be together.
Ryan in the silent walking state was like a silent wind, drifting over a sand dune, and he saw a bloated caravan under the dune surrounded by a dozen desert bandits riding camels.
Seeing this, Ryan immediately ran down the sand dune, alternating his legs quickly, and a cloud of dust rose up behind him.
When the first thief noticed something strange in the dunes.
boom!
The gunshots of Manjushahua rang out.
A silver-white bullet penetrated his skull head-on, and bright blood flowers bloomed from the back of his head, coquettishly revealing death, like the flowers of the other side blooming in hell.
Ryan, who was extremely fast, was beyond the ability of a dozen ordinary thieves to react.
Ryan is like a wind of death that reaps life. He clasps his fingers and fires his guns. Each time he fires, at least one bandit will die.
The robbers didn't even have time to know what happened. Lane, who was wandering in the crowd, had already penetrated the heart of the last robber with the tenth bullet.
The bright blood flowers bloomed in the air for an instant, and then withered instantly. The dozen bandits went from being dazed to dying in less than three seconds.
When the gunfire stopped, they all fell to the sand.
The crystal blood beads flying all over the sky also scattered on the sand, dyeing the yellow sand red.
From the time Ace saw him until he arrived, Ryan had already eliminated all the thieves.
A large number of people in the caravan looked at the bandits who died in an instant and swallowed their saliva at Ryan who was standing in a pool of blood.
"There is a caravan, no wonder you ran so fast, but you seem to have scared them." Ace dispersed the flaming surfboard condensed on his feet, patted Ryan, and said with a smile.
Ryan inserted his two guns back, rolled his eyes, and said, "What can I do? I thought the team that dared to cross the desert to trade should have some courage."
The leader of the caravan was an old man with dark skin and his head wrapped in a black silk scarf. He was speechless.
Those were the famous tough bandits in this desert, the Iron Sand Eighteen Cavalry. Even if the kingdom's army encircled and suppressed them many times, they could not be annihilated. Even if they resisted, they would only increase their casualties. Who would have thought that a young man who suddenly appeared would kill those bandits? The gangsters are like killing chickens, and they kill chickens faster. How can ordinary people like them not be frightened?
But at this time, as the leader, you must stand up and support the entire caravan.
The rickety old man, who had shrunk to 1.5 meters, put his left hand on his lower back, got off the camel, and said carefully to Ryan and Ace: "You two adults saved the small caravan, why don't you stay and let us entertain you, if you have something important." , please also accept some of our thoughts.”
As he spoke, the old man took out two gold bars wrapped in cloth. The gold was shining and touching.
However... one of them doesn't pay much attention to money, and the other has seen too much money recently. There is no shortage of ships anyway, and they just want to hitch a ride.
So both of them rejected the old man's gold bars without any hesitation.
Ryan took a step back to Ace's side.
Ace declined: "There are still some people behind us. We just want to go to the town with you. We don't need these gold bars."
The old man quickly put away his precious little fortune. Several members behind him looked at each other in disbelief, waiting for his decision.
"Of course there's no problem. You're welcome." The old man said with a bright smile.
After a while, Landuo, Yafisha, Hayes and others also arrived. They took the caravan's camel cart and stayed comfortably in the shady shed.
The caravan drifted away, leaving behind a trail of camel footprints and wheel marks.
As dusk approaches, the temperature in the desert drops rapidly, from scorching heat to severe cold, like a crimson gauze sunset quietly covering the desert.
Under the sunset, which was as red as blood, the corpses of the Eighteen Iron Sand Riders lay quietly on the deserted sand.
However, the blood-stained sand squirmed like living creatures, looking for the cold corpses.
Then, like quicksand, it crawled over, slowly covering the corpse's arms, clothes, and faces, and bit by bit got into the sleeves, mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, completely wrapping the eighteen corpses.
Then, the sand began to collapse, slowly swallowing eighteen corpses with a rustling sound.
And when they finished their meal, it was as if nothing had happened on the sand under the setting sun, leaving no trace of blood... only the bright red sunset seemed to tell the story of the strangeness of this desert.
