Chapter 23: . The penalty of being sunburned

　　 Yes, the enemy.
　　 The heart of these six desert robbers is awe-inspiring, and the standard spear is already in their hands.
　　 Just in front of this sandy road, at the end of the line of sight shining by the moonlight, seven or eight black shadows were standing on the sand dunes beside the road, motionless, as if staring at them closely.
　　 "Ready to fight."
　　 Kant's voice sounded, he also took off the light crossbow in his back.
　　 Pulled the bow forcefully, the sharp iron crossbow arrow was already on it, and with his raised arm, he pointed at the figure on the distant sand dune remotely, and his finger lightly pulled the trigger.
　　The hands of the desert robber also untied the cloth pocket on his back, and the thick handle of the short javelin also appeared behind his neck.
　　 These gangsters in the desert are better at throwing immediately.
　　 They are all ready to fight.
"Be careful."
　　 Kant is also reminding, and at the same time Zema slowly moves closer.
　　 is still at a safe distance, so they dare to continue to approach. This is the confidence of the cavalry, because once they realize that the enemy's strength is too strong to resist, they will immediately retreat.
　　 comes and goes like a wind, super powerful, this is the cavalry.
　　 But their caution was ignored by those standing shadows on the sand dunes at this time.
　　 seemed to just stand on the sand dune, motionless, and quietly looked at Kant and they did not move at all, nor did they find the voice of the enemy.
　　 "Sir, this is not right." Some desert robbers said.
　　 Looking at the sand dunes, these robbers who are good at desert combat have not been frozen by the cold, and their minds are still quite flexible.
　　 Looking at the black shadow above, they instinctively discovered the anomaly.
　　 "Let's take a closer look."
　　 Kant nodded, he also noticed this, but still whispered: "If there is a situation, immediately retreat."
　　 "Understood." The desert robbers responded.
　　 They walked slowly along the desert road and moved on.
　　 And as the distance got closer, Kant's brow furrowed and his eyes fixed on the dark shadow in the distance.
　　 proved that he was right, although his sight was a little blurred due to the night, Kant was absolutely sure that the seven or eight standing shadows were jackals.
　　 head like a beast, hair all over.
　　 These are the distinctive characteristics of the jackals, and Kant, who has had a fierce conflict with them, will not admit it.
　　 But at this time, his brows were frowned.
　　 "Why do those jackals on the sand dunes feel strange?" he asked.
"Yes."
　　The desert robber nodded at the same time, his face solemn.
　　 In their eyes, these jackals who are getting closer and closer are simply quite unnatural. Standing in a posture and shrinking their heads, it is like... being tied to something!
　　 The bright moonlight shines, making the dunes more clear.
　　 Kant's eyes shrank slightly.
　　 "That's..." He couldn't help but blurted out, the emotions in his heart were a little violent.
　　 "Adult, be careful!"
　　The desert robber behind kicked the horse's abdomen, six people moved forward quickly, the spear in his hand clenched tightly, and his eyes swept alertly around.
　　 Simply, there is no abnormality.
　　 also has no enemies.
　　 They all breathed a sigh of relief, but the eyes looked back at the sand dunes, still with horror.
　　Because right on the top of the sand dune, there are indeed seven jackals, with jaws with fangs, gray fur, a head like a jackal, and a human body.
　　 But now they are really tied to the wooden post.
　　Thick and long twine tied these jackals, from the thigh to the chest and abdomen, they were tied tightly.
"what happened?"
　　 The light crossbow in Kant's hand still clenched, but kicked the horse's belly slightly.
　　The hip-horse under the crotch has a spirit, feel this force, and the speed forward is slower.
　　The desert robber behind him looked equally dignified, and his eyes were fixed on the seven jackals.
"One week?"
　　 Kant narrowed his eyes: "Is this punishment?"
　　 "It is estimated to be executed." The desert robber replied.
　　If it is not an execution, then the jackals on these seven wooden pillars will never be dried into dry corpses.
　　 This kind is directly tied to the wooden pillar, and then brutally burned to death by the blazing sun of the Nalun Desert, comparable to the cruelest punishment.
　　 "But why are they executed?" Kant's brows grew tighter.
　　 But he did not fear, but instead glanced at the sand dunes in front of him alertly, and commanded the desert robbers behind: "Take up the spirit, let's go and see!"
　　Anyway, they are cavalrymen, without any fear.
　　With the two legs of the jackals, they can't catch up with them.
　　 And Kant didn't believe that these Jackals would really find that 7 of them would come here.
　　 set up such an obvious trap specifically to ambush them.
　　Obviously, if this is the case, those jackals directly attack the outpost oasis. Compared to these fast-moving cavalry, fixed-position villages, obviously have larger targets and more harvest.
　　 "Driving!"
　　 Kant shakes the reins of the horse, his legs tightly holding the war horse.
　　 Light crossbows pointed forward, but when they all rushed over the dune, they did not encounter any enemy.
　　Kant looked at the corpse-faced corpse-faced jackal who had grinned in front of him, and could not help frowning: "They are really miserable."
　　 "He died in the sun." The desert robber nodded: "I didn't drink a little water."
　　 This kind of punishment was once used by people and ethnic groups in desert areas.
　　 The Sultanate of Sarand has also had this kind of punishment, but it dealt with those fierce enemies or prisoners who committed certain unforgivable sins.
　　 "It's sad. UU reading books www.uukanshu.com"
　　 Kant turned his eyes elsewhere. The role of these corpses was to deter.
　　 died miserably before his death, and was still used after death.
　　 But he has no sad emotions, because these are jackals, and they are his enemies. If they can, Kant even wants all these jackals to be sunburned, which saves him a huge trouble in the early stage!
　　 "Then...that is..."
　　 looked around, Kant looked at it.
　　 But when he saw the north side, in the direction of the horizon of the dunes, his eyes suddenly widened: "It is saline land!"
　　 Kant couldn't help but exclaim.
　　 is just to the north of the sand dunes, under the bright moonlight, the sea-like white is spreading, as if to pounce towards this side, devouring the entire desert.
　　 This is the saline land they are looking for!
　　 And this also proves that the desert robbers say that there is indeed a natural open-pit salt mine!
"This is real."
　　 Kant swallowed, and the hands holding the light crossbow were clenched.
　　Perhaps in the eyes of modern people, this is just a pile of useless saline-alkali land. The salt accumulated on the ground is also inferior crude salt. Except for industrial use, it will never enter the lives of civilians.
　　 But in this medieval antiquity, it was a luxury.
　　 Once in Poland in the previous life, there was an underground salt mine that produced edible salt of the entire European continent in hundreds of years, and also brought 30% of the annual tax to Poland, which shows the huge profits of the salt industry!
　　 "Adult, the tent over there."
　　 Desert robbers opened, they found anomalies,
　　 is on the edge of the saline land, close to four or fifty tattered tents, which are being erected there.
　　 It seems that they are those jackals!
