Konoha Thief

Chapter 242 Sandstorm

Chapter 242 Sandstorm

The caravan stepped into the vast desert, and the dazzling sunlight fell on the ground, emitting a layer of golden brilliance.

It was early spring, and it was the season when the slanting wind was cold, but in this desert, it was completely different.

The steaming heat wave was visible to the naked eye, as if the heaven and the earth were being baked in an oven. The scorching light reflected off the hot sand and gravel made the entire caravan feel sleepy and hurried on the road in silence.

Riding on the camel's back, Xia Shu uncorked the water bottle and took a big gulp, only then did he feel that his lips were moist.

At this moment, the sun is high and the sky is high, like a fire, even though the physical fitness is stronger than ordinary people, it is still sweating and hot.

"There is an oasis not far ahead, we can go there to rest." The captain of the guard with a dark complexion and wrinkled face like an old farmer shouted excitedly, and turned to everyone in the caravan: "Cheer up, everyone. Full speed ahead!"

Everyone in the caravan immediately called out to respond, and one after another quickened their pace.

In the oasis, Xia Shu chose a shaded place to rest, and the others were either guarding the truck, or looking for water in the depths of the oasis. Of course, it would be even better if they could find melons and fruits.

After resting in the oasis for the night, the caravan took advantage of the coolness of the morning and continued on their journey.

The camel steps gracefully on the soft yellow sand, leaving a series of meaningful hoofprints in the desert.

There are only 35 people in this caravan, and the cargo is not too much, only five trucks. But the caravan is not a ninja after all, even if the team is not long, it cannot travel quickly.

After another three days, the caravan came to the depths of the Land of Winds.

On this day, it was rare that there was no scorching sun in the sky, the sky was slightly cloudy, and the wind was blowing in the desert, rolling up sand and dust, blocking sight.

Riding on the back of a camel, Xia Shu looked towards the southwest, only to see a long stretch of yellow sand, and the sight of dust flying in his eyes.

But he did know that a hundred miles away from the sand and dust was the hidden sand village.

I hope he won't encounter unexpected enemies like he did in the Land of Earth, he squinted his eyes amidst the whistling dust, thinking so from the bottom of his heart.

In the afternoon, the sand and dust suddenly became bigger, and the sand and gravel flying all over the sky crackled like raindrops, like a sudden shower.

Traveling through the desert for many years, the experienced guard captain looked at the sky and frowned deeply, worried that there would be a sandstorm, so he turned his head and shouted loudly.

"Speed ​​up! For the sake of your lives, this might turn into a sandstorm!"

However, if you work in a hurry, there is a high probability that you will make mistakes in your busy schedule, which is the case with caravans.

When a worker was pushing a cart, he accidentally fell to the ground. The fall was nothing at all, and it was completely painless when he fell on the soft desert. However, his arm was accidentally run over by the wheel and directly became a fracture.

"I've run over someone, I've run over someone!" There was a scream, and someone immediately noticed the situation and shouted loudly.

The captain of the guard hurried over when he heard the sound, and shouted loudly, "Don't stop! Don't stop! Keep going!"

Then he had time to look over here.

Looking at the worker whose arm was obviously twisted, he frowned, and finally waved impatiently: "Throw him into the car..."

Before he finished speaking, the worker had already been thrown into the truck.

The captain of the guard froze for a moment, then followed the shadow cast on the ground.

Xia Shu nodded slightly to meet his gaze, and then drove the camel forward.

Facing the howling dust, the caravan became more and more difficult to move forward, but the wind and sand were still in the air, faintly forming a hovering shape.

"Damn it! It's too late!" The captain of the guard tilted his body slightly against the strong wind, squinted his eyes, and shouted: "Don't go! Get together, get together next to the truck, untie the ropes of the animals, Don't let them panic and take the wagon away!"

In the rush, the captain of the guard didn't care too much. After shouting these words, he led the caravan boss to a truck that stopped, and then got under the truck.

The strong wind swirled around with sand and dust, and the momentum was as shocking as the roar of heaven and earth, and finally turned into a tornado, leaving only the whistling wind and sand in the sky and earth, filling the ears.

I don't know how long it has passed, everything subsides, the dust between the sky and the earth has disappeared, the haze has dissipated, the sky is blue, and the dry and hot breath follows.

The sand pile arched, and a camel's head broke out of the ground. It shook its head in an unusually human way, shaking off the gravel on its head, and then seemed to remember something, and lowered its head to its side.

Xia Shu wanted to get out, but was pushed down again, wanted to get out, but was pushed down again, and then he grasped the timing, arched his head a second late, and finally broke through the ground.

"It's you..." With a snap, the words in his mouth were broken.

It turned out that a head popped out of his side suddenly, Luo Tuo was a little frightened, turned his head subconsciously, and then came cheek to cheek with Xia Shu.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Shu rubbed his cheeks, pushed the camel's big face away helplessly, then broke free from the shackles of the sand, and got out.

While patting the gravel on his body, he glanced at the caravan. The sandstorm didn't seem to last long, so it didn't have much impact. The blown sand only buried the people who fell on the ground, but had no impact on the caravan. It is not big.

However, the caravan's feet were not as calm as the camels that Xia Shu had imprinted with the Yaxi Seal, so they lost a few of them, and they don't know if they can be found again.

However, in the event of such a natural disaster, the caravan could not go on the road immediately, so there was still time to search.

Under the command of the captain of the guard, the caravan counted the number of people and losses, and then sent people to look for the lost camels.

Xia Shu didn't stay out of the matter, he helped the injured worker to deal with the injury. Although he had never learned medical ninjutsu, simple methods are a compulsory course for root ninjas.

"Thank you for your help." The timid expression on the young worker's face, as well as the twinkling eyes, betrayed his heart.

"Don't worry, as long as you rest for a while, the root cause of the disease will not be left behind." Xia Shu could understand what the other party hadn't said at a glance, so he chuckled directly.

"Thank you, thank you!" The other party thanked quickly, and Xia Shu had to wave his hand.

After resting for a long time, we walked for a while, and then night fell, and the air suddenly turned from hot to cold.

The sea of ​​stars in the night sky is brilliant, a brilliant starry sky that can only be seen in the Land of Winds.

Xia Shu roasted the jerky until it became softer, served it with flatbread for dinner, and then continued eating Bingliang Wan.

Speaking of which, there are not many Bingliang pills left on his body, and he will not be able to continue taking them on the next journey, which makes him a little annoyed.

The next day, the caravan continued on its way. It was cloudless and the air was dry and hot. It seemed that there was no difference from before.
