Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Crisis In The Desert
After Xu Cang rejected Ace, although the sky was still dark, everyone had woken up.
Luffy caught a scorpion out of boredom and was scolded by Vivi because it was highly poisonous.
At this time, Chopper said seriously: "Something is coming."
Looking from a distance, Xu Cang saw that a sandstorm in the distance seemed to be coming. It seemed that it was not a simple sandstorm.
"Sandstorm!" Xu Cang immediately reminded everyone upon seeing this, and Vivi immediately confirmed: "Sandstorm!? Is it really a sandstorm?"
"Everyone, hurry up and take shelter under the shadow of the rock!" Vivi's reaction was quite quick.
Everyone didn't see the sandstorm, so they were confused.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a storm! Desert Storm is coming!"
As soon as Vivi finished speaking, the surroundings were swept by a sandstorm.
Everyone is desperately grabbing everything they can around to prevent being blown away by the sandstorm.
"Here it comes again! Why are there always storms in the desert!" Luffy couldn't help complaining.
The storm was so violent that even the tents erected by everyone were ruthlessly blown away.
"I forgot to tell you! Desert storm is one of the killers in the desert!" Vivi didn't dare to relax at this time. She was used to Alabasta's harsh environment, so she naturally knew the terror of sandstorms.
Xu Cang spread his demon wings as much as possible and wrapped everyone under his wings one by one, forming something like an egg.
I don't know how long it took, but Xu Cang felt that there seemed to be no sound outside, so he stretched out his wings outwards and shook them again.
Countless amounts of dust shook off Xu Cang's wings, forming a huge pit with Xu Cang as the center.
Everything around seemed buried.
"If it weren't for Xu Cang, the consequences would be disastrous!" Everyone agreed, and the partners once again gained a strong sense of security from Captain Xu Cang.
In this way, while overcoming the harsh environment in the desert, everyone continued to move towards Yuba.
After walking a short distance, Luffy clamored to eat a pirate bento again. After much teasing, Vivi finally agreed to find the next rock and take a rest there.
After a while, everyone found a rock in front of them, and Luffy naturally rushed over like crazy.
However, soon, Luffy ran back and shouted loudly: "There are so many injured birds that can't move! Chopper!"
"Yeah!" When Chopper heard that an animal was injured, he naturally followed Luffy and rushed to the rock.
Vivi felt something strange and immediately asked: "Luffy! Are those birds...
Immediately afterwards, Vivi and everyone quickly arrived at the place where they were just now, and then discovered that all their luggage was gone.
"It's true! There were really a lot of dying birds here just now!"
"I'm sorry...I should have told you earlier that the big deceiver deceived travelers and was a desert thief who stole luggage." Vivi said a little embarrassed.
"What!? Bird pretended to be injured! Isn't that fraud?" Usopp couldn't help but said.
"That's right! It's fraud! Have I been deceived?" Luffy realized later and was naturally scolded by his friends.
Sanji grabbed Luffy and said: "Luffy! Didn't I just say that I was cheated and it would be fine? That was three days' worth of travel supplies! It was stolen by a bird.
In this vast desert, it was not It happens that everyone's luggage has been stolen.
How can we cross the desert without water and food?"
"There's nothing I can do about it, because I was cheated." Luffy said without any regret.
"Your brain is worse than that of a bird." Sanji scolded.
"What did you say!?" Luffy and Sanji started arguing again.
At this time, Xu Cang said: "Stop, not everyone's luggage has been snatched away."
Later, Xu Cang took out his magical bag. This was the first time that Xu Cang showed the magical bag to everyone publicly. Because the magical bag was given by the system, it can be returned to Xu Cang at any time. , and Xu Cang never leaves.
"Is this your omnipotent bag?"
"Yes, although the things we can get here are limited, it is at least enough for us to survive, so now, let's calm down and think about how to get those luggage back." Xu Cang was still very calm and rational.
But at this time, Sanji and Luffy were still fighting.
"Forget it, at this time, let them have a good fight." Ace said.
"That's right." Xu Cang nodded. The two of them refused to give in at all. It was normal for them to have a fight.
"Let's sit down and rest for a while. We're irritated because it's too hot." Ace suggested.
"Yeah, we still have food for the time being, so let's just forget about this." Zoro's attitude was so good that he exploded.
"Okay, that's all." Usopp nodded.
At this time, everyone saw a group of big white birds parked in the middle of the two rows of rocks on the left and right.
These big birds enjoyed eating and drinking the food and water in their luggage. When Luffy saw this, he rushed out unceremoniously.
"Luffy! You can't chase him!" Vivi reminded.
However, Luffy naturally couldn't listen, so he just disappeared before his eyes.
"This guy can't come back at all?" Xu Cang asked.
Everyone nodded unanimously.
After a while, no one saw Luffy, and then they started talking.
"Really, he is obviously a road idiot and he still ran out." Nami complained.
"Besides, there are many desert killers that Luffy doesn't know about." Vivi agreed.
"Is that guy fainting from hunger because he didn't eat?" Sanji couldn't help but worry about Luffy.
"There's really nothing we can do against him!" Zoro also said.
"What everyone said is naturally possible. He is really a careless captain." Xu Cang also said with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Ace also took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, my brother has caused trouble for you."
After the words fell, the ground on the other side of the desert shook, and I didn't know what happened.
"What's going on? It's shaking! Is it Desert Storm again? No...that's...Luffy!" Usopp said.
"Why is that guy riding on the back of a camel!?" Vivi was also confused.
"Also, what is chasing him?" Everyone saw the unknown object attacking behind Luffy.
"You can't see clearly. There seems to be something in the sand?" Zoro also asked.
As Luffy got closer and closer, finally, the creature suddenly appeared.
"So big!" A huge purple-skinned monster appeared in front of everyone.
"What is that!" Everyone was shocked.
"That's the desert purple-skinned lizard! It's one of the largest reptiles among all the lizards that live in the desert! It usually hides in the desert. It has sharp front claws and fangs! Very few people can catch it. it!"
A crisis has arrived.
