Sapphire was enslaved by Shao Xuan, and the aura on the sapphire was somewhat similar to Shao Xuan. After all, the power on its body came from Shao Xuan, and what attracted the insects was the power on the sapphire. Perhaps others might not be able to distinguish this aura, but those little beetles could recognize it. They would not hurt Shao Xuan, and Shao Xuan could even ask sapphire to order them to do certain things.

These slightly larger beetles, during the sleeping sapphire, are foraging everywhere with insect tides. Compared with other small beetles, they are not only different in size, they are stronger and smarter.

However, even smarter, they are just similar to ordinary beasts. Even sapphires cannot allow them to execute very complex commands. However, simple commands can still be performed, such as pulling the guard away just now, and then digging holes with other bugs in the sand.

Shao Xuan and the others followed Sapphire all the way to find the small town, but because the area around the town was relatively flat and there was nowhere to hide. The purpose of their trip was to save people, rather than to fight directly with the sand thief. Even if they wanted to fight, they had to wait until they rescued the people before fighting.

So, they made another plan.

Sapphire brought Shao Xuan underground. Because the sapphire was too large and it was too easy to arouse the alertness of those sand thieves, Sapphire only took Shao Xuan underground and sneaked to the small town for a while. The subsequent tasks were completed by other beetles.

I once had the experience of walking under the quagmire. It was more difficult to get under the sand than in the quagmire, but it was not impossible. What's more, there were beetles under the sand, and there were more bugs that did not come out.

Sapphire can determine the approximate locations of the five people in the Gongjia family. Shao Xuan came out just to sense the specific locations of the five people, and let a beetle lead a guard away, so he came out from the sand. There was a guard on each side of the room, and the guards on this side had been led away just now.

It’s no wonder that beetles like underground. During the day, the temperature under the sand is indeed much lower than that on the ground. There is no need to be sunburned by the sun.

This is a courtyard-like structure, with some scattered bones in the corner of the courtyard wall. Shao Xuan can identify them from the appearance of those bones. They are human bones. There are adults and children.

The house and the courtyard wall are relatively short. If Shao Xuan walked outside, the people in the yard could see half of their heads. Similarly, if Shao Xuan stood up in the yard and moved straight, he would be seen by people outside the courtyard wall.

Outside this small courtyard, there were about a dozen people sitting against the courtyard wall, all concentrated on the shaded side.

Shao Xuan did not completely drill out of the sand, but only exposed his upper body. He carefully sensed the surroundings, understood where people everywhere were guarding, and looked for targets. The five people in the Gongjia family were obviously different from other prisoners. Shao Xuan could determine where those five people were locked up.

Unfortunately, they are not on this side, but it doesn't matter.

The beetles crawling out of the ground gathered again. When they crawled under the sand, Shao Xuan took a deep breath and sank into the sand.

Shortly after Shao Xuan sank, the guard who left came back. He didn't chase the thing underground, walked over and sat down, and continued to take a nap.

In a dirt house on the other side, five people from the Workers' A family were tied up tightly, using the strong vines in the desert. Although the plants looked shriveled, they were also very thin, but very strong. Now, the five people were thirsty and hungry in addition to their injuries, and they were weak and had no strength to struggle. They lay on the ground, with the surrounding walls and sand. The five people's eyes were open or closed, but they were not asleep. They didn't know what they were thinking.

They didn't find Gong Jiaren that day, and soon they encountered a group of sand thieves, one of which was their former companion. Their companions caught them here with the sand thieves, and only gave them some water so that they would not die immediately.

The people of the Sand Snake asked them to build weapons for the Sand Snake. They refused and were locked up here. Yesterday, they just witnessed a scene of the Sand Stolen eating people. They knew that it was the Sand Stolen who deliberately made it for them to see, but they also knew that the Sand Stolen eating people was real. In fact, they had heard that tribes could eat people, and they had heard that the people here were very barbaric, but when they really saw it, it still had a big impact, and now they still had a shadow in their hearts.

If they promised the sand thief and built weapons for the sand thief, they could survive and live like slaves. Seeing the behavior of the sand snake people, they would not seem to be kind to them. But if they did not agree, they would become the reserve grain for the sand thief.

what to do?

Should I choose to survive or die?

"I really want to commit suicide." The younger man leaning against the wall murmured with his head down.

"This is a good idea, but I'm not willing to let it go!" Another older man looked up at the leaking roof and sighed helplessly.

Yes, they all thought about committing suicide, but they still had some expectations in their hearts. Perhaps, there was still a turning point in things?

After all, they are just unwilling to give up.

Before they could create a famous weapon, they died in the desert, and no one would be willing to accept it. If it weren't for this, how could they persist until now?

"If we didn't choose to come here..." The man said halfway, and then smiled bitterly and fell silent.

There is no if in this world. If you choose this path, you have to bear any result by yourself.

They had thought about getting out of the sand before, but later they found that it was too difficult. With their current physical strength, they would not think of digging the sand and escaping, let alone their hands and feet were tied. The sand thieves also knew their situation, so they would feel at ease to tie them up and throw them here.

Sacrifice

The sound of fine sand grinding sounded.

"Xiao Yi stop playing with the sand, I'm upset!" the man with his eyes closed in a corner complained.

The young man leaning against the wall raised his head, looking confused, "I didn't play with sand." After saying that, he moved his gaze to the place where the sound came from, and saw that the sand on the sand moved, and a black beetle crawled out.

"There are bugs!" Gong Jialu shouted, his voice very loudly.

The people who were guarding outside also heard it, but he didn't care and continued to take a nap. There were so many bugs in the desert, and scorpions and lizards were common, and a little bug is a big deal!

In the house, after about a dozen beetles with palm length crawled out, they did not approach the people inside the house, but were waiting next to them.

A hand stretched out from under the sand.

The five people who saw this scene took a breath and almost screamed. They watched the place where the beetles crawled out, and one person gradually emerged from under the sand.

The five stunned people saw such strange strangers. When they came to their senses, the first thing they thought of was whether they could be rescued?

Shao Xuan looked at the five people in the room and was satisfied. These people were not stupid and didn't call out.

One of them lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you? Are you here to save us?"

Shao Xuan did not answer, but asked, "Gong Jiayi, Shi, Yong, Shen, Kan?" These are the names of the five people, and Gong Jiaren told him.

As soon as Shao Xuan said this, the five of them lit up their eyes. Just as they were about to say something, Shao Xuan raised his palm and pressed it down, indicating that they would have a lower voice.

The five people nodded quickly, and the light in their eyes became brighter.

Shao Xuan took out a strip of cloth and opened it in the light. There were words written by Gong Jiaren on it, with the purpose of telling these five people that Shao Xuan was here to save them and make them believe in Shao Xuan.

With the light cast from above, the five people also saw the words on the cloth strip clearly, and were so excited that they could cry.

Can this person come out from under the sand? Can he also get them out of the sand?

Thinking of this, the five people suddenly felt that this person was really reliable and looked forward to Shao Xuan's next action, because it is not a time to say more. The more you say, the greater the possibility of being discovered. Therefore, they just need to believe Shao Xuan. With the tough cloth strips of the craftsmanship, they don't have to doubt anything else.

Shao Xuan walked over to the person closest to him and cut off the vines for him, waved to the others, signaling them to move over.

The five people were filled with joy, but soon, they felt that the development of things seemed to be different from what they imagined, etc. I understand the truth, but brother, why did you untie the rope for us and tie us up?!

Yes, after Shao Xuan untied the vines for the five people, he connected the vines and tied the five people. Not only that, he also reinforced them with the rope he carried to make sure that no one of the five people would fall off easily.

The five people looked at Shao Xuan with the same puzzled look, not understanding what Shao Xuan meant to do so.

Shao Xuan wanted to ask the beetles to help transport the five people out, but those little beetles would not eat Shao Xuan, so they couldn't tell the others. Sapphire was sleeping for so long and had just encountered a swarm of insects. I don't know if they could accurately control these insects, so when there were other ways, there was no need to take such risks. Shao Xuan didn't want these five people to be dragged out of the sand and only had a skeleton left.

After tied up, Shao Xuan gave instructions to the sapphire underground outside the small town and carried out the next step.

A hundred meters away from the small town suddenly spewed out a stream of sand, which spewed high like a column of water and fell down again.

That's a signal.

Shao Xuan looked out from the gap in the roof to the sky. After seeing the figure in the sky, he fell into the sand again, leaving the five people tied together in the room, looking at each other.

Not long after, a scream suddenly came from somewhere outside, as if something happened there, and the guards all went there.

Shao Xuan appeared in the room again, lifted up the five people tied together, and split the bound place on the door made of thorny plants with a knife. In order to facilitate entry and exit, the door here was opened relatively large enough for Shao Xuan to drag the five people out.

The guards were drawn by the screams over there, and even the guards outside the courtyard focused on the other side. Therefore, no one was seen at the door of the house here.

The five people still didn't understand what Shao Xuan wanted to do until Shao Xuan carried them up and threw them into the air like throwing a ball...

The ground was quickly away, and the courtyard where the prisoners were imprisoning quickly shrank in their vision. The five people even felt their heartbeats stop at this moment, and their thinking was blank for a moment.
