Chapter 37 The Devil Kills the Greedy
There is always wind in the Gobi in spring.
This is what Tie Xinyuan is most worried about.
When it is windy, it will be easy to get to Onyx Beach.
Strong winds will blow the sulphur dioxide away, as long as you go downwind, under the condition that the wind direction is not the same, even if you do not wear a gas mask, you will have a chance to enter the agate beach.
In the period when the volcano was still swallowing black smoke, people relied on this method to enter and exit the agate beach, and they hid this method deep in their hearts and passed it down from generation to generation.
Sometimes, the so-called mystery is not mysterious at all, and the solution to things is always the easiest way.
Only novelists and people with ulterior motives would exaggerate the difficulty of things and make the solution to things tortuous and difficult to understand.
Tie Xinyuan knew that if he brought a chicken into the crater during the gale, as long as the chicken did not die, the person would not die, and there was a great chance of arriving at the agate beach and getting some agate to return smoothly.
Of course, this method is not very safe, the wind direction on the Gobi Desert is difficult to grasp, because the sun shines, the water vapor rises, which will cause air flow disorders.
Nature never does things out of the blue, and if the wind is stable and there is enough wind to blow away the sulphur dioxide, the Agate Beach is basically undefended.
The biggest reason why people found Agate Beach in the first place was the Black Storm.
A caravan got lost in the Black Storm and accidentally entered the Agate Beach, picked up a whole caravan of Agate and came back, becoming a legend in the desert.
Unfortunately, the hearts of the people were not enough to swallow the elephant, and the next year, they entered the crater with a larger caravan in a sunny day.
This time, that caravan of nearly a thousand people. Neither man nor camel ever came out again......
Tie Xinyuan led the camel team all the way to the west, and after leaving Qingxiang Valley for only a day and a half, he saw the mushroom cloud standing under the clear sky.
Even if you stand far away, that mushroom cloud already gives everyone a feeling of oppression.
Mahim had only finished praying, and when he saw the churning mushroom cloud, he wanted to get off his horse and prostrate again.
"Taliban, are you sure Onyx Beach is in that place?"
Tie Xinyuan sniffled, even if he stood here, he could smell the sour smoke.
"That's right, Mahim. The legendary Agate Beach is there, and if you can walk under that black cloud, there are countless agate for us to pick up. ”
Mahim couldn't say a word, so he could only look at this barren land eroded by acid rain with a blue face and was stunned.
Tie Xinyuan didn't care what Mahim thought, there were people in the team who wanted to get rich.
The caravan moved on.
The Gobi under his feet gradually changed, and the large, large swaths of gravel gradually turned into very soft volcanic rock that had been weathered.
Sometimes a camel's leg accidentally touches a volcanic rock, and the blue-black volcanic rock turns to dust like sand.
This is a standard acidified land, and the yellow Gobi gradually turns blue-gray. When they reached the rocky beach of the volcanic rock formation of a circle of fortresses, even camels were reluctant to take another step.
There was a loud bang, the earth shook slightly, and a mushroom cloud rose from the ground. Carrying a dark red firelight into the sky.
A young war horse neighed, turned around and ran, but tripped over the volcanic rock under his feet and fell to the ground, and a sharp stalagmite was still hidden in the middle of the weathered volcanic rock on the surface. In just an instant, it was stabbed into a sieve by spiky volcanic rock.
The red blood could not seep into the ground with a layer of sour shell, and soon merged into a small pool of blood in the place of the horse's belly. After a while, the pool of blood began to bubble, and the pool of horse blood seemed to boil.
Tie Xinyuan smiled and looked at the group of earth-colored Persian warriors, and put on the gas mask hidden in the headscarf again, even so, his lungs felt very uncomfortable.
Mahim and the others breathed sour breath, their chests ached like pins and needles, and every breath was a torment for them.
I had to cover my mouth and nose tightly with my own headscarf.
"Mahim, Onyx Beach is three miles ahead."
Tie Xinyuan, who wrapped his head and face in a turban, spoke in a very strange voice.
Mahim was startled, looked at his frightened companions around him, and wanted to speak, but saw that Tie Xinyuan and Tie Yi had abandoned their horses and camels, and began to climb over the volcanic rock full of stalagmite spikes.
Tie Xinyuan has estimated that wearing two layers of gas masks is his limit, and God knows that today's acid gas concentration will be so terrifying.
He ignored the Mahims, who might have seen the colorful Agate Beach, but there was no possibility of entering the Agate Beach.
I came here today just to show them, so that they can honestly help them sell agate and collect enough manpower.
In the same way, following Mahim they will sell the agate to sell the iron trion and iron four, and they will buy a large number of slaves.
Iron Heart only wants pure slaves, not those unruly swordsmen and caravan guards.
Mahim felt like a fish that had dried up after coming ashore, with its mouth wide open but unable to breathe.
"Is this the poisonous gas that the Demon King breathes?"
Mahim thumped his **** hard, hoping to alleviate the pain there.
He couldn't say a word, and his mind seemed to be confused. And the seven people in front of him continued to walk inside.
The sun on the Gobi is so brilliant that only the churning mushroom cloud can slightly block out the sun.
After walking forward for another mile, Tie Xinyuan finally stopped, the sun was very good today, and the hot steam was steaming sulfur dioxide smoke, making it more harmful, the calfskin boots on Tie Xinyuan's feet had changed color a little, and the dark red patent leather on it had cracked, and the color was gradually darkening.
As soon as you cross this rocky beach, the agate beach is in front of you.
Mahim saw the agate beach in extreme pain, he was not sure if he really saw it, rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, but screamed, his eyes were as painful as if they were on fire, and the smoke of sulfuric acid entered his eyes, where would anything good.
Fortunately, he also knew that this was not a place to lie down and shout, so he grabbed a companion and asked him to help him out.
He could not see the colorful agate, but his companion could see that the Persian man who was holding Mahim let go of Mahim, struck his fist twice in his chest, and then whirlwind over the iron heart source, and rushed towards the agate beach, which seemed to be close at hand.
Mahim, who had just washed his eyes with water, opened his eyes and saw one of his companions half-kneeling on the edge of the agate beach, clutching his neck in pain, his body writhing like an eel......
"Taliban!"
Mahim shouted at Tie Xinyuan.
Tie Xinyuan shook his head at him and began to return with Tie Yi and them, and behind him, the Persian gradually quieted down.
If you can't move forward, you will go back...... This is the idea of Tie Xinyuan.
Mahim glanced back at his companion who was no longer moving, stepping on the loose volcanic rock, and followed Tie Xinyuan step by step.
The tingling chest kept him from walking too fast, and every step was an ordeal for them.
When I walked into the crater, it didn't take long, but when I came back, I walked for half a day.
Turning the mountain pass, the churning smoke was hidden by the low mountain bag, and everyone was constantly drinking water, and the horses and camels who stayed in place to take care of the horses and camels carefully gave water to the horses and camels who also needed a lot of water to neutralize the smoke.
No one wanted to say a word behind the bag, and everyone's throat ached as if it had been burned by fire.
Even with a mask, Tie Xinyuan's throat was still very uncomfortable, but it was nothing compared to the cows, horses, people, and wild beasts he saw along the way.
The only thing I didn't think about today was the dead Persian.
Tie Xinyuan didn't expect that even in that environment, that person's pursuit of wealth was still so fanatical.
When Mahim and his companions had drunk enough water, they sat there in a daze, and they saw the riches that were close at hand......
