A ray of early morning sunlight casts through the cracks in the walls of the wooden house, imprinting jagged shadows on the ground. The firewood in the fire pit in the center of the room had been completely burned out, and only a faint smoke was left at this time. The Dark Knight Gaddafi returned to the house at some point, and he was just standing quietly on the side of the doorway, like a dutiful guard.

Zhang Yang slowly opened his eyes, this night's rest made him feel extremely comfortable, although the conditions here were extremely simple, but he didn't care too much about these, this quiet and peaceful morning made him feel extremely relaxed. After eating some snake broth, Zhang Yang called Gaddafi outside the door, glanced at him and said:

"Rest assured, your loyalty will be rewarded."

"Everything is arranged by the master."

There's no too much nonsense, let's wait until later. After a while, Zhang Yang put on the armor of darkness, and Gaddafi fell silent again. This time, at Zhang Yang's request, Gaddafi transformed into a set of shabby-looking black armor and an unpretentious black two-handed broadsword. However, this time, because the dark elemental energy of Gaddafi's body has been weakened too much, the quality of the two-handed greatsword is obviously not as good as before.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to leave here and look for clues to get out of the desert, his incomparably keen perception suddenly noticed that on the top of a sand dune in the distance, a large group of people slowly appeared! This is Zhang Yang's happiness in his heart, there are people, you can find a way out of the desert. It's much better than walking around on your own! Thinking of this, Zhang Yang quickly closed his eyes and concentrated, and his huge perception swept towards the direction of the person who came in the distance.

In an instant, this team of people appeared in Zhang Yang's perception like a shot from a black and white movie! It was a large caravan, nearly a hundred men in size, and their mount was a giant rhinoceros-like creature. The creatures were muscular, with rough skin, over 6 meters in length, thick limbs, and most peculiarly, their feet that looked like giant discs. Zhang Yang estimated that this creature lived exclusively in the desert, otherwise the soles of its feet really didn't look like fast material. There were about thirty people dressed as mercenaries in the pair, and most of the others were dressed in yellow cloaks, revealing only a pair of eyes. Zhang Yang looked at the direction they were traveling, and he should have come to this oasis to rest, so he waited in the house with peace of mind.

After a short time, this group of people came to the oasis, and then the mercenaries who came to explore the way found Zhang Yang in the house. I saw the man raise his weapon and shout at him and asked:

"What people! What to do here? ”

Zhang Yang glanced at him lightly, thinking to himself, what are you nervous about? Although he thought so, Zhang Yang, who was asking for help, still replied:

"I'm a lost mercenary, I got separated from the brigade in a sandstorm, I finally came here, don't worry, I'm not hostile."

The mercenary on the other side cautiously glanced around the room, and then asked with some nervousness and expectation:

"Is there any water here?"

When Zhang Yang nodded in confirmation, the mercenary shouted happily, turned around and ran out. After a while, a large group of cloaked men followed the two burly mercenary men in.

"Friend, please! Dare to ask who opened the mouth? ”

After entering the house, some of the group went straight to the well in the compartment, and the big man who seemed to be the leader greeted Zhang Yang. As for what Dahan said, Zhang Yang could understand that this was an incision in the conversation between some middle- and lower-level mercenaries. It is to the effect: Hello, what do you do? At this time, if Zhang Yang didn't answer correctly, it meant that he was not a mercenary. Therefore, Zhang Yang opened his mouth and said:

"It's divided! It's all mixed rice on the knife edge! ”

"Oh! Friends in the circle! Let's go to rest! ”

After hearing Zhang Yang's correct answer, this big man basically put his mind at ease, and besides, he looked at Zhang Yang alone, and he didn't look like he was very strong, Accra himself was a swordsman who was about to break through to the silver junior level of black iron, and there were several brothers with similar strength to him among his companions. Even if you run into a silver-level opponent, you don't have to be too afraid. What's more, at this time, the caravan has been walking for more than ten days, and the first few oases can't find water for the time being because of sandstorms, if you can't find water here, the problem will be serious.

After the team was almost settled, Zhang Yang was also much more familiar with the people in front of him. I also got to know each other a little bit. At least on the surface, they knew that Zhang Yang was just a first-order peak swordsman who didn't know how to fight......

The team is a group of merchants who specialize in walking in the desert. The name of their caravan was "Shalak". It is a well-known medium-sized caravan in the desert. I heard that their business group has a history of nearly 50 years, and its founder is called Shalak. These mercenaries and some of the merchants were members of the Salak Merchant Order. Others are improvised, and they may leave the caravan after this trip. And the location here turned out to be the Death Desert that connects the mercenary country of Ladovia and the orc empire of Kampas! Maybe it's a barrier that separates the two.

Zhang Yang's position at this time was more than 600 miles away from the Wall of Sighs of the Southern Human Barrier, and about 270 miles away from the legendary Arcane Mage Holy Land Modo. The reason why the Salak merchants have survived here for nearly 50 years is because they trade between Ladovia and Modo, and the reason why they have survived to this day is that they can intersect with Modo.

Zhang Yang made a request to travel with the caravan temporarily, and after taking the initiative to take out 10 gold coins as the cost of food and other materials, the caravan's escort captain Accra, who was the big guy who spoke before, happily agreed.

The caravan would rest here for a day before heading out on its way back to Ladovia, the land of mercenaries, where there is a frontier town: Aion. It is the headquarters of the merchant and is also a relatively prosperous town.

At night, Zhang Yang was sitting on the edge of the fire pit in the house, and most of the people in the caravan were asleep, leaving only four sentries still walking around patrolling. At this time, the young man who came to explore the path during the day suddenly slipped over, and after looking around secretly, he whispered to Zhang Yang:

"Hey! Friend, I have a bottle of good wine called "Gandoff" that I brought in Modo, it is very good, I bought it for 60 silver coins but I have not been willing to drink it, how about selling it to you for 80 silver coins? ”

Zhang Yang remembered this guy named Nether. I usually look very clever, but I didn't expect to have this business acumen. Zhang Yang was sure that this bottle of "good wine" called Gandoff was not worth 60 silver coins at any percent. However, Zhang Yang is not a person who cares too much about money. It just so happens that if you want to have a drink now, it doesn't matter if it's expensive. Therefore, Zhang Yang took out a gold coin that was placed outside and threw it to Nether, and then took the bottle of good wine with a slightly embarrassed look, and then said casually:

"Here you go, I want to be quiet for a while."

Hearing Zhang Yang say this, a big smile suddenly appeared on Nether's face, and after saying thank you, he ran back to sleep happily.

Zhang Yang casually uncorked the bottle, and a slightly fruity pungent smell of wine immediately came out. He poured a sip directly into the bottle, then lowered his head and exhaled a burst of wine. Suddenly, I felt a spicy liquid flow down my throat all the way to my stomach, and then turned into a burst of heat that spread all over my limbs.

Not bad. It's been a long time since I've drunk a strong liquor like this...... Zhang Yang didn't speak, just drank slowly at the night outside the door, but at the moment he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

It didn't take long for Zhang Yang to suddenly find that a large group of people sneakily took advantage of the night to hide behind the sand dunes and quickly touched them, and the blades in their hands flashed with cold light in the cold moonlit night!
