Tang Dou didn't know about Edward's conversation with Donald, let alone the dangers facing the caravan, and with his character, if he had known this, he would have run away long ago.

The Green Oasis is two hundred miles away from the Saya Oasis, this section is the most traveled road, and because it is not far from the Green Oasis, the troops left behind in the Green Oasis may also reach the Saya Oasis at any time, so this road is safe, at least even Edward and Donald think this road is safe.

The caravan traveled southwest for three days, and the distance it traveled every day was about seventy miles, and finally on the evening of the third day, the caravan saw the Saya Oasis in the distance.

The Saya Oasis is not large, only one-third the size of the Green Oasis, but this oasis has a specialty, and that is the sand dates.

In the local language of the Haisha Desert, the sand date is also called to the Jiegedai, which means the tree of life. The jujube tree grows in every oasis in the Haisha Desert, and the vitality of an oasis depends on two aspects, one is the groundwater and the other is the jujube tree.

Jujube has a high value, edible, forage, medicinal, windbreak and sand fixation. Desert people break up the sand dates, mix flour as the staple food, and the sand date pollen can also be used as medicine. Flowers can be refined into sesame oil, and leaves can be refined into sand date gum, which is the best medicine for bone injuries.

It can be said that the whole body of the sand date is a treasure, so it is called the tree of life and the sacred tree by the desert people.

And there is another characteristic of sand dates, that is, they grow in different oases and have different characteristics. For example, some oasis dates have a better medicinal effect, and some make sweeter wine. The sand dates of the Sayad Oasis are famous for their sweetness, not only delicious, but also thirst-quenching, which is deeply loved by all the desert people and caravans, and everyone who comes to the Sayata Oasis will buy some sand dates to eat on the way, and at critical moments, these sand dates can save lives. It can be said that Saya Oasis is the main source of income.

The Saya Oasis is only 1.7 square kilometers, so the population is not very large. But there are also quite a few, more than 1,000 households, more than 3,000 people live here. Most of the people here have the surname Saya and are typical desert dwellers. In Tang Dou's opinion, the people here looked a little like the Semitic people of his previous life.

From a certain point of view, it's the combination of handsome guys and beautiful women and thick men's dominatrikshats, the kind that can't grow in the middle. This made Tang Dou's eyes, who had always had a problem with the "Appearance Association", constantly suffer from the torture of ice and fire.

The people at Saya Oasis were very welcoming, and they had to be enthusiastic too. Because the caravans are their biggest source of income, the caravans can bring them a lot of necessities that cannot be produced in the desert, and they can also sell some of the things that the caravans need, such as ornaments, utensils, and of course, dates that are unique to the desert culture.

After eating the sand dates once, the little Lori and the soft girl fell in love with this sweet honey-like taste, and Tang Dou was wealthy. bought hundreds of catties, and the happy teeth of the proprietress who sold sand dates were almost laughed.

The Shangxiang Chamber of Commerce is still the same, every time they go to an oasis, they will stop for two days, and the doctors in the caravan will treat the houses of the oasis for free, so for the residents of the Haisha Desert, the flag of the Shangxiang caravan is their favorite flag.

Sha Yunyue also joined the ranks of doctors, not only to maintain the slogan of "practicing medicine in the world" that Tang Dou blew, but the elf beauty itself has such a grand wish. In Tang Dou's opinion. If it weren't for the fact that her identity was really inconvenient, she would probably join the Shangxiang Chamber of Commerce directly, and then truly practice medicine.

Although Tang Dou felt that such a person was stupid, he admired such a person very much. Therefore, Tang Da slut is a rare person who does not raise the bar with the elf beauty. Instead, he fully cooperated, which made Sha Yunyue not used to it, thinking that Tang Dou was going to play some kind of trick again.

This is the end of being too much of a slut, Tang Dou looked at the elf beauty who was extremely vigilant, and he was depressed in his heart.

On the first day, Saya Oasis was lively. It's also calm.

The lively thing is that the Shangxiang caravan came, and all the residents here came to see the doctor, especially after Sha Yunyue's wonderful hand rejuvenated and cured a person who was about to hang up, and was almost regarded as a god by the residents of Saya Oasis. And Heberian and other doctors also had a new understanding of Sha Yunyue's medical skills again, and Yizhi believed that Sha Yunyue was the strongest person in their medical skills.

These lovely doctors who practice medicine in the world are not half jealous, but humbly ask for advice one by one. Sha Yunyue is not stingy, he must answer any questions, and his status in the caravan is rapidly heating up invisibly, faintly meaning the head of the doctor.

I have to say that these healers who can join the caravan are a group of pure people, so that anyone in front of them will respect their character from the bottom of their hearts.

The next day, the caravan's last day at the Oasis, will depart early tomorrow morning.

The people of Saya Oasis are very enthusiastic, and it is a coincidence that the dying person rescued by Sha Yunyue is the family where Tang Dou went to buy sand dates, but the people didn't say a word, and returned all the money to buy sand dates, and moved more than 100 catties of sand dates, and knelt on the ground and couldn't get up if they didn't accept it, so Tang Dou didn't collect it, and he didn't accept it, so he had to face the income, but secretly stuffed the money back into the other party's clothes.

Early the next morning, the caravan set out again, this time to an oasis three hundred miles to the west, which was even smaller, with only a hundred people, called the Oasis of Bour, which, according to Edward's experience, took four and a half to five days.

By noon on the third day, trouble came.

All caravans that walk the desert know that there are three major evils in the sea sand desert.

The first hazard is sandstorms. This is a natural disaster, and when encountered, you can only consider yourself unlucky, no one can predict it, and no one can avoid it after encountering it. Once encountered, you can only resist hard, resist the past and live, and cannot resist the past and die. Every year, a large number of caravans encounter sandstorms, and less than one in ten survives.

The second pest is the desert demon beasts, among which the sand devouring scorpion and the desert marching ant are the most terrifying. Desert marching ants, is Tang Dou once changed out of the torture of Niu Ben of a desert subspecies of red ants, more terrible than the pure red ants, in the desert, known as the red plague, where it passes, there is absolutely no grass, but fortunately, most of the desert marching ants are in the depths of the desert, and almost will not go to the oasis, so as long as you live in the oasis, there will be no danger, afraid of encountering it halfway.

Although the sand scorpion is not as powerful as the desert marching ant, it is more harmful than the desert marching ant. The name of this monster beast and the sand scorpion is only one word, but it is a different kind of existence entirely, the sand scorpion uses sand as a staple food, and its appearance is fierce but its personality is extremely tame. The Sand Scorpion is the complete opposite, the Sand Scorpion is not large, the largest is only the size of a palm, and in appearance, the pure black shell, like a black crystal-like texture, gives them an extremely beautiful appearance.

But in terms of personality, the sand devouring scorpion can make the desert dwellers talk about it. Desert marching ants will not take the initiative to attack humans, and will not go to the oasis, as long as they don't touch, it's fine, even if they do, if they find it early, they can still run away. But the Sand Scorpion is different, they roam the desert and will actively attack and hunt down any living creatures they see, and if they see an oasis, they will also attack.

The Sand Devourer Scorpion is known as the Black Plague by the desert dwellers.

The third evil, of course, is the sand thief. This is a typical man-made disaster, and there is nothing to say. Unless it is a caravan like Shangxiang that sand thieves will not harm, otherwise any caravan that encounters sand thieves will have to fight hard, otherwise there is only one way to die.

Shang Xiang's caravan has always been afraid of the third pest when it enters the desert, and he is afraid of the first two, but this time Edward and they are unfortunately encountered the most feared black plague among the second pests.

The Black Plague appeared at noon on the third day of the caravan's departure from the Saya Oasis. There was no warning before, and by the time everyone found out, they were surrounded by thousands of sand devouring scorpions.

Shangxiang caravan has a total of one hundred and twenty-five guards, and the average strength is at the fifth level of bronze, which is not bad, reaching the strength of the second-tier army, but in the face of thousands of sand devouring scorpions, it looks extremely pale. Fortunately, Donald, as the leader of the caravan guard, never let his guard down, and every time he rested, he dug a deep trench on the periphery of the camp.

This deep ditch has only one function, that is, once a red or black plague occurs, it will pour fire oil into it, and then rely on fire oil to resist it. As for how long it can be blocked, it is only left to fate.

Therefore, when the black plague was discovered, Donald immediately had people pour fire oil into the deep ditch and ignite it, and with the caravan's reserves, the fire oil could be burned for five hours without interruption. But whether five hours will keep them alive is anyone's guess.

"What now?" Edward was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"I'll have people rush out with torches to try!" Donald knew that holding on was not the way to go, so he wanted to fight hard. In fact, this method is also the only way for other caravans to encounter the Black Plague, and the Sand Devouring Scorpion has the strongest desire to attack living creatures, so the only way to deal with the Black Plague is to let people be used as bait.

"No, the usual black plague is only a few hundred sand devouring scorpions, but there are more than a thousand here, even if you are dead, it is impossible for you to lure all the sand devouring scorpions away!" Edward shook his head and rejected Donald's offer.

To be honest, Edward had been running in the desert for twenty years, and this was the first time he had encountered a black plague of this magnitude. You must know that the sand scorpion is not the same as the desert marching ant. As soon as the desert marching ants came out, they were measured in tens of thousands, overwhelming, and extremely terrifying. But the sand devouring scorpion rarely has a colony of more than three hundred, and Edward had never thought of more than a thousand like this before.

There was despair in everyone's eyes, and it seemed that they had no hope of surviving such a large-scale black plague.

"I said, there's a way, why don't we try it?" Just when everyone was desperate, a voice rang out in the corner. (To be continued.) )
