Chapter 29: The Road

The two coachmen invited were a pair of crocodile half-demon father and son, the father was named Bach and the son was called Bayun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although they have demon bloodline in their bodies, they are mortal physique and cannot be cultivated. In fact, for the various clans living in this world, most of them were just mortal bodies, not the spirit bodies needed by cultivators.

In addition to the differences in size and brute strength between the various tribes, there is a difference in lifespan. For example, demon people generally have a lifespan of one to three hundred years, but their low reproductive ability is difficult to give birth to pure demon offspring, and they are basically combined with the human race to breed half-demon offspring. In addition, the spiritual power in this world has not increased since the extinction of the alien race, and there are fewer and fewer demons who transform by absorbing spiritual power, and the demon people have shown a trend of population decline.

Because the caravan carrying water set off early in the morning, in order to catch up with them, Bach and his son drove wildly in the snail cart all the way.

The snail is a four-legged reptile twice the size of a horse, and it runs at a speed comparable to that of a horse, but has a much greater weight capacity, and is commonly used to carry loads. They are domesticated beasts with brown skin, a thick layer of hard armor, a frog-like head, and two long snail antennae on the top of their heads, which are said to sense the humidity and dryness of the air to predict wind and rain.

The cart caught up with the caravan in the evening, and after Bach stepped forward to negotiate with the leader, Elsie and his cart merged into the back of the group and followed.

According to Bach, the Earth Spirit Clan living in the Red Beach Continent buys water from the surrounding towns every month for their people to drink. This official and merchant team is one of the water delivery teams, and they will send twenty truckloads of spring water to the Earth Spirit Clan every month, and it will take a month to make a round trip.

With the caravan as a guard of honor, the later itinerary is much more convenient. The caravans had traveled this road for thousands of years, and they knew exactly where they could rest and town, even if they sometimes had to camp in the wilderness, and there were patrols and vigils.

After entering the Chitan mainland, the itinerary was changed, because it was too hot and the temperature was too high, so I had to change to rest during the day and walk at night.

On the Chitan Continent, there will be stations built at intervals for officials and businessmen who carry water and passing merchants. It is not a house built here, but a cave in the desert rock wall. Think about it, if you don't dig a hole in the mountain for people to live in, you can't stand the temperature at all, you will suffer from heat stroke in minutes, and you can bake it dry in half an hour.

On the big stone bed where she was stationed, Ash was lying on it with large characters regardless of her image, and it was only the third day after entering the Red Beach Continent that she already felt that she was about to become an adult jerky.

"Ice, get up and get something to eat!" Van Lin came in with a cake and two red sauce fruits and placed them on the stone table. He was also heartbroken to see Elsie working so hard, but his little princess was stubborn, and she had to go to Black Rock City.

Elsie turned to her side and got up from the bed. Although she didn't have any appetite at all, she still forced herself to eat everything, she couldn't even fall down before she got there, it wasn't a drag on others.

It's so hot that I can't sleep during the day, but it's so cold that I shiver when I walk at night. Fortunately, they consulted Bach before setting off and prepared enough supplies, otherwise they would have died of cold in this kind of ghost place, even if they didn't die of heat.

Ai Xi also asked Fan Lin if he could take the flying magic weapon and fly directly to Black Rock City, and now that he has entered the Red Beach Continent, the people of the human demon clan should not be able to catch up here.

But Fan Lin told her that not only did he not know the way, but also his spiritual power was limited, so it was impossible to bring the three of them to Black Rock City in one night.

had no choice but to resign himself to following the caravan to slowly get through.

The night was silent and far-reaching, spying on the southwestern border of the continent, and a bright moon hung in the curtain, pouring out a hazy silver veil.

On the rolling sand dunes, a caravan of more than 200 people carrying water was slowly moving forward by the orange-yellow glow of tung oil torches.

The leader of the caravan is an experienced werewolf half-demon, known as Brother Cang. At this time, he was raising the big knife in his hand and looking forward vigilantly.

A long-eared jerboa on his shoulder had been chirping noisily for most of the hour, and his mood seemed particularly uneasy.

Brother Cang has followed his father to deliver water to Black Rock City since he was a child, and this road has been walked for more than a hundred years, but tonight he felt something unusual.

This continent has been abandoned for thousands of years, and the wandering blind beasts and the bandits who snatch the spirit stones have made this deep sea full of dangers. The team behind him was full of his brothers who had been born and died and some friends who had been close to each other, and he had a heavy task on his shoulders, and he could not let these people who followed him die in the desert sea.

With a wave of his hand, the team behind him stopped, and he decided to wait for a while, and the two of them had just sent a signal to the two of them to come back, and they would continue to move forward after confirming the road conditions.

After entering the desert, the wooden cart that sat on the person had been unloaded. Ash sat on the back of the whelk-headed beast and tightened the cotton towel on his head, and the cold wind blew the sand so that people couldn't open their eyes.

I've been staying here for almost half an hour, and I don't know what happened to me. This is a vast desert, the wind and sand mixed with the moonlight and the visibility is very low, and the hazy feeling reminds Elsie of a movie about fog and monsters that he has seen in modern times, and he is also a little nervous.

There was no sound in the whole procession, except for the occasional crackling sound of torches. After waiting for a while, Elsie saw a gray flag in front of him wave a few times, and a dozen strong men in the team drew their weapons at their waists and walked forward.

"There are blind beasts." Van Lin walked back from the front, turned over and sat down next to Elsie, "If they can't catch the beast in a while, we'll go back to the station first and see what happens." ”

"What's at stake?" Aisie asked, turning her head to ask, since Van Lin was ready to escape, then this blind beast would not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

Fan Lin nodded: "It should be a big guy, there are also a few cultivators in this team, but their strength is shallow, if they can be caught, it will be an income, and if they can't be caught, it will be hundreds of lives." ”

"Don't worry, my father and I have been to Black Rock City dozens of times with Brother Cang's team, and we have encountered dangers, but we can break through every time." Bayun, who was holding the snail beast, opened his mouth to comfort the three guests behind him.

Elsie smiled at him, Bayun was a young man who made a good impression on her, always looking at her father with adoring eyes. She has no memory of getting along with her father, and she doesn't know this feeling, but she can feel that subtle emotion and full of positive energy from these two people.

She is indeed a little worried now, but what she is even more worried about is Xia Hengxuan, they also left a signal for him when they came out of the small courtyard, but until now there has been no news from him.

The closer she got to Black Rock City, the more panicked she became, always afraid that she would hear bad news.
