Last Totem Novel - Chapter 432
Chapter 432 Friends
Just as Tie Zha finished a glass of wine, a figure stumbled in.
“Brother Tie, you’re finally back!” Old Di said excitedly as he rushed in front of him with three steps and two steps at the same time.
“Yes.” Tie Zha’s voice was as calm as ever.
“I haven’t seen you for two years. Brother Tie is still so handsome and majestic.” Old Di flattered as usual. As he spoke, there was no smile on his wrinkled old face, only devotion and seriousness.
“Yes.” Tie Zha accepted the other party’s praise calmly.
“Are you coming back this time?” Old Di asked.
Tie Zha shook his head and said, “Come back and see your old friend.”
“Where are we going next?” Old Di sat down beside him and shouted to Old Zach, “Have a glass of ale and charge it to the garrison.”
“Alright.” Old Zach skillfully picked up the big wine bottle, poured a glass of ale, and pushed it over.
“Furnace Town.” Said Tie Zha.
“You want to surrender?” Asked Old Di, who had read the newspaper a few days earlier and knew that the Princess Templar had threatened the insecticides of the southern cemetery to surrender to Tie Zha with a lightning hammer.
“Go on a date.” Tie Zha grinned and said.
‘”I’m afraid …” Old Di hesitated worriedly.
“Who am I?” Tie Zha suddenly asked.
“You are the invincible Iron Eagle. At worst, you can fly away.” Said Old Di with a dry smile.
“Get me a motorcycle.” “When do you want it?” “Now.” “Alright.”
Half an hour later, Old Di pushed a silver motorcycle over.
“Sixth Young Miss’s Lightning Leopard, we have been maintaining it all this time. We didn’t dare to open it.” Old Di said as he stroked the shiny body.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded his head, rolled over, turned on the power, and stepped on the accelerator. With a “woo” sound, he ignited the engine.
“Your voice isn’t bad. You guys aren’t lazy.” Tie Zha commented as he listened to the smooth sound of the engine.
“Needless to say, do we not dare to worry about Sixth Young Miss’s car?” Old Di smiled and asked.
“Alright, I’m leaving. Take care.” Tie Zha said straightforwardly.
“Take care of yourself” Old Di took a deep breath and said.
Tie Zha nodded his head. Then, he twisted the accelerator and rushed onto the main street, heading towards the north of Tie Shan Town.
As he passed by the clinic in Divine Doctor Shui, he stopped, pulled out Merrill Lynch’s revolver, and fired a shot into the sky.
“Bang!”
After a muffled sound, a middle-aged man in a white coat ran out in panic. However, the moment he saw the troublemaker, his expression froze.
“Tie Zha!” After being stunned for a few seconds, he shouted and walked up quickly.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.
“Are you alright?” “Fortunately.” “That’s good, that’s good” “How are you?” “Not bad … Oh right, you’re not leaving this time, are you?” “I was just passing by. I just wanted to see my old friend.” “Where else?” “Furnace Town.” “Oh …”
After a moment of silence, Tie Zha said, “Then … I’ll leave first …”
“Alright.” Divine Doctor Shui nodded.
In the next moment, amidst the roar of the engine, the silver-white motorcycle sped away.
Looking at his departing back, Divine Doctor Shui waved his hand and shouted, “Tie Zha, have a good trip!”
The cool summer night breeze blew towards him, making his entire body feel refreshed. Ten minutes later, Tie Zha lowered his head and tightened the throttle. He rushed out of Tie Shan Town’s north gate, opened a section of gravel road, and drove onto the highway leading to the endless sea of sand. It was eleven o’clock in the evening, and under the blazing lights at the front of the car, the pavement that had been in disrepair all year round was potholed. He skillfully controlled the motorcycle, turning left and right, avoiding one obstacle after another.
A few hours later, he arrived at the end of the road. Turning around, he turned into a small path and drove towards the brightly lit Black Fire Bar.
The two strong men who were guarding the door were dozing off. When they heard the rumbling of the engine, they immediately woke up. When they saw the person’s appearance clearly, they were immediately frightened to the point that the empty shell of the Fire God Cannon in their hands fell to the ground with a “clang” sound.
“Tie … Brother Tie … you … why are you here?” Under his gaze, the burly man squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and said in a trembling voice.
“Park my car.” Tie Zha rolled over and got out of the car. He went straight through the door and walked towards the bar.
He pushed open the old wooden door and saw a familiar square face.
The moment he saw him, the expression on his face froze, and the dishes he was wiping fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
“Brother Tie … why did you come … why didn’t you say it earlier …” The short and fat Black Fire Bar owner squirmed his lips and swallowed his saliva as he said with difficulty.
“Ding ding!” Two crisp sounds echoed, and two gold coins landed on the bar counter, spinning rapidly.
“Wine, food, something new.” Tie Zha said simply.
The Black Fire Owner quickly picked up the big wine bottle, poured a glass of ale, and pushed it over.
“What new things do you want to hear?” Black Fire’s eyes glittered as he stared at the gold coins on the counter. He rubbed his hands and asked.
“Whatever.” Tie Zha drank a mouthful of ale and said.
“The breeding season for sandworms is coming soon. At least fifty hunting teams from the south have entered the sand sea.” Black Fire said.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.
“The weather is very good recently. There are no clouds in the world. There shouldn’t be any sandstorms.” Black Fire Boss continued.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded again.
“Some people say that large numbers of sand dwellers have been seen migrating westward. The reason may be due to the lack of rain in the east this year and the poor growth of the cactus.” Black Fire said as he swept the gold coins into his pockets.
Tie Zha shook his glass and listened carelessly, then asked, “What else?”
Seeing that Tie Zha wasn’t in the mood, the owner of the bar leaned over and whispered in a mysterious voice, “I don’t know if there’s a rumor lately, but there are quite a few rumors about it.”
“Huh?” Tie Zha seemed to be interested.
“Everyone calls her the Phantom of the Sand Sea, but I made a statement beforehand. It may not be true. Do you want to hear it?” The bartender asked. Facing this Great Fiend Star, he had to explain the matter clearly first, so that the other party wouldn’t say that he was bragging and then blackmail him with an excuse. In the past, this person in front of him had done a lot of things like this.
“Speak.” Tie Zha glanced over and Black Fire Boss was shocked. He could only feel the temperature around him drop by several degrees. He subconsciously shrunk his shoulders and slowly spoke.
A few days ago, several groups of vendors said that they had encountered a mysterious woman while crossing the sand sea. This woman’s appearance was extremely enchanting, and her figure was incomparably hot, as if she was a witch from hell or a Holy Maiden from heaven. In short, she was not a mortal woman. Moreover, many people said that her figure and appearance seemed to be hidden in a mist, hazy, like a mirage.
Everyone saw it as a fantasy, not a real existence. Her beauty was more like a biological wave that directly impacted the nerves. No matter who it was, they could feel the shock in their hearts. They believed that she was the most beautiful scene in the world. Later on, more and more people began to spread the word, and everyone began to call her the Phantom of the Sand Sea.
“Really?” Tie Zha couldn’t help but ask.
“I only heard about it.” Black Fire said as he spread out his hands.
“Continue.” Tie Zha drank a mouthful of ale and asked.
Black Fire Boss nodded and continued to explain. Most vendors said that every time the Phantom of the Sand Sea appeared, she would sit on the head of a golden sandworm. She seemed to be able to manipulate the golden sandworm to serve her.
“Golden Sandworm?” Tie Zha frowned and asked. This Phantom of the Sand Sea couldn’t be Lena Euclid who was going to the Sand Sea to raise insects, right?
“Yes, the Golden Sandworm” The Black Fire Owner poured himself a glass of wine, moistened his throat, and continued, “The traders said that it has many compound eyes that look like stars in the night sky. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Golden Sandworm, because no other creature in the world has such a characteristic.”
‘”Mm” Tie Zha nodded thoughtfully.
“Don’t worry too much. Perhaps it’s just a cheating story. You know, there’s no shortage of such stories in the Sand Sea.” Black Fire shrugged his shoulders and asked, “Brother Tie, what do you want to eat tonight?”
“Have a Sand Scorpion. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten it.” Said Tie Zha.
“Alright, please wait a moment” After saying that, Black Fire Boss turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare.
A moment later, a plate of steaming roasted sand scorpions arrived in front of Tie Zha. This sand scorpion was very big, and its pliers were the size of a palm. He tore open the shell, and the meat inside was like snow. It was delicious and tender, but also had a certain elasticity.
“How is it? This is the biggest one we’ve caught in the past few months.” Black Fire said with a smile as he wiped his hands with a rag.
“Not bad.” Tie Zha replied without raising his head as he ate the Sand Scorpion. A few times ago, it had become his habit to eat a roasted sand scorpion before entering the sand sea.
After eating and drinking enough, he asked Black Fire for a guest room.
“Creak … Creak … Creak …”
Walking up the old wooden stairs and pushing open the wooden and iron door, he entered a familiar guest room. Every time he came here, the Black Fire Boss would prepare this room for him, because this room was the only room in the Black Fire Bar that had a bathroom and could provide hot water.
Memories always appeared inadvertently. In the pitch-black room, he couldn’t help but recall the lingering night. Her thirst, her patience, her whispers, her endless affection, became even sweeter and more unforgettable in her dreams.
The beauty of the world always flowed away inadvertently. When she was around, he never felt how important she was. At that time, she was just an indispensable companion, a subordinate, or even a troublesome person to him.
He thought how good it would have been if he had treated her better back then. However, everything had become the past, just like footprints in the sand sea. When the wind blew past, there were no traces left behind.
Perhaps, there were still many beautiful things in this world that were worth cherishing.
However …
If this beauty could not exist under the sunlight, it would be dimmed.
He was a proud survivor of the North, the fearless Northses. Dignity and honor were the necessities of his existence, just like fish wanting the sea, horses wanting the grasslands, birds wanting the sky …
