"Help, I'm dying of thirst. ”

Although the voice shouted for help, it sounded full of energy, and there was no feeling of weakness at all.

The four of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

Several people were stunned, and their voices were close to each other. A figure walked behind the sand dunes and said, "Great, let's enjoy the saliva." ”

All four of them were shocked, but they didn't expect that the people who came were even more surprised than them: "I'll go, human?"

"Interracial?"

The visitor was about two meters tall and had brown skin. Dressed in white shorts and shorts, barefoot. A pair of long, pointed ears, and a vertical eye in the center of the eyebrows are tightly closed.

"Don't get excited, I'm just here to beg for a drink. The alien raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, "I'm a little nervous if this young lady can take the sword off my neck." ”

Jiang Qinghan was unmoved: "Name, race, what are you here for." ”

"My name is #¥@#¥%¥%" The alien opened his mouth and reported a large string of syllables, including complex pronunciations such as tongue curling and tongue flicking, which made Qianzhou's head big for a while.

"Stop, you'll just call Pock. Qianzhou interrupted his long list of names, and cut two syllables from them to call him.

Polk did not object either.

As for why they can ignore the language barrier to communicate - isn't it common sense that the whole universe is speaking Chinese?

Just kidding.

When Qianzhou was originally making the setting, for the sake of convenience, he chose a language as the lingua franca after retaining the languages of various places.

The lingua franca of Western Continent and its colonies is English. The cultural circles of Zhongzhou, Nanzhou and Qin all use Qin official dialect (Chinese) as the lingua franca.

As for the races in the abyss that don't even have some vocal organs, they directly use essentia to communicate with their thoughts.

"Why are you here?" asked Qianshu.

"I should say that. Polk looked strange, "Although this place is still in the world, it has crossed the dividing line of the white desert, and the rules are already different. It's strange that you humans are here, aren't you?"

"What did you say?" Qianzhou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Qinghan.

Jiang Qinghan put away Shuoyue, opened the map and notes and looked at them carefully, before blushing slightly and said, "We seem to have really gone wrong." ”

“......”

"It doesn't have to be your problem, either. Pok comforted in turn, "The space of the white desert is not all flat, and there are folds in some places. You've probably walked through the folds to get here. ”

Qianzhou rubbed his forehead in annoyance: "You haven't said why you're here." ”

Polk gritted his teeth at the mention of this: "I am a merchant, and I originally took the goods to the territory of the 'Noise King'. But on the way, he encountered robbers from the tower wilderness. They robbed me of my goods and tried to kill me, so I ran as hard as I could. ”

"You have robbers too?" Qianzhou was a little curious.

"Look, you Terrans don't have bandits anymore? Seriously, since the last ancient kingdom of the Terran fell to a natural disaster a thousand years ago, we have only seen about the Terrans in books. ”

"Haven't you ever thought about getting out of the white desert?"

"Look at what you said. Just like a fish doesn't leave water, would you like to live in it?" there was a bit of loneliness in Poke's words, "It's good to have a place to live like us, who have been abandoned by the world and are unwilling to embrace the abyss. ”

Qianzhou is silent, and the change of the present world never stops for a certain person or a certain race.

The four of them gave him some water, and in return Pok showed them the way.

While waiting for the sun to go down, a few people chatted.

"Although most of my goods have been robbed, I still have some good things on me at the bottom of the box. Are you interested or not, these are all good things that cannot be bought in this world. "Maybe it's the nature of a businessman, Pock sells himself hard.

Qianzhou rolled his eyes: "How can we have anything to pay the bill, the currencies on both sides are different." ”

"It's okay to barter. Bock added.

"And how do you value it?"

"It doesn't matter, I have special identification skills. ”

Qianzhou became interested, not in Pock's cargo, but in the so-called "special identification skills".

"Look. ”

Poke opened the third eye on his forehead and looked at Qianzhou, but his body suddenly stiffened as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Qianzhou could even tell that his brown skin was a little whiter.

It took a while for Pock to regain his breath.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Qianzhou.

Poke shook his hand: "I must have been dazzled just now, and for a moment I seemed to see the shadow of the [Natural Disaster]. ”

Qianzhou was stunned for a moment, and he remembered that Faust seemed to have said to him - when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.

"Are you also afraid of natural disasters? Jiang Qinghan didn't seem to have any superfluous associations.

"Look at what you said. There is no living being in this world who is not afraid of natural disasters, otherwise they would not be given such a name. ”

"Do you see anything valuable? Qianzhou diverted the topic.

"You are really 'innocent', and the miracle mark in your pocket and the pen on your cuff are worth a little more. Polk said in a deliberately mocking tone.

Qianzhou was amused and took the fragment off his cuff: "Then how much is this pen worth?"

Instead, Polk fell silent, and after a while said, "It's not worth a few dollars, I won't ask for it anyway." ”

Qianzhou raised his eyebrows, and looked at Poke without speaking.

Then Pok got up and said goodbye: "Thank you for the water, I'll go first." Hurry up and leave, Bai Mo will soon have another sandstorm. ”

"No, it's so sunny. Jiang Qinghan looked at the cloudless sky and asked with some suspicion.

"Look at what you said. Can Bai Mo be the same as the outside? ”

Before he could finish speaking, Pock's figure had disappeared into the endless sea of white sand. Just like when he came, no one could see it.

"Then let's go. Qianzhou stood up, and then said to Jiang Qinghan jokingly, "Don't take the wrong path again this time." ”

"Long-winded. Jiang Qinghan's face flushed, and he stepped on Qianzhou hard.

The girl deliberately gritted her teeth and made an angry expression.

But this only made Qianzhou feel that the girl was a little cuter than her usual dignified and elegant posture, like a deliberately coquettish cat.

"Alright, let's go. Qianzhou just smiled, but it made the girl's face even more flushed, and her eyes were watery.

Walking on the road, Qianzhou raised his head and glanced at the sky with some concern.

Although there was still no wind, the clouds could not find a trace of moisture. But Pock's solemn warning didn't look like a joke.

"My luck shouldn't be so bad, it should be......" Recalling his experience along the way, Qianzhou fell silent instead.
