Chapter 171: Expedition

Looking at Li Xiang's sincere expression, He Ming shook his head a little weakly, and said, "You don't need to thank me, just like you, I am also here to find the secrets of these monsters, everyone is the same, and no one owes anyone anything." ”

What kind of existence these sand monsters were, he already had a rough outline in his mind, but he couldn't be completely sure, if Ye Zilan's Soul Lust Staff was here, he should be able to figure it out directly through their souls.

But why did he think of her again, He Ming found that the number of times he silently recited the name this time in his heart was increasing, but the person he wanted to find seemed to be fading more and more, but which one was just wishful thinking now.

With a self-deprecating wry smile, He Ming said to Li Xiang: "You have also paid an extremely heavy price for these data, what are you going to do next?" ”

Li Xiang said: "My goal will not change, but I am curious, what is the purpose of people like you coming to this desert, if you don't go deeper, you don't need to go with other people at all, and I don't believe that you are also here to pan for gold." ”

He Ming smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, my purpose was originally to go deep into this desert to find people, but after so much time, there is only one thought left to find, but no matter what, I will still go to the deepest part of the oasis." ”

Li Xiang sighed lightly: "As the map says, compared to the depths of the oasis, the enemies here are as weak as babies, so how much do you know about the depths of this oasis?" ”

He Ming said: "I haven't really been there, but from what I know, I can still tell you that compared to that terrible legend, the evil in the depths of the oasis will only be more than your imagination, terrifying to the point of nonsense." ”

Li Xiang said: "It's not suitable for you to go alone now, we have obtained some information about the Sea of Sand Monsters, and soon this place will be cleaned up in an organized manner, you might as well rest with us on the border of the desert for a few days, and then we will organize people to go to the oasis to explore." ”

He Ming thought for a while and said, "It's okay, then let's go." ”

The head of the Ma family frowned, pacing around behind his back with his hands, the time agreed with Shabak was about to come, and only the three major families were ready, and the other small families were far from being in place in terms of manpower and materials.

And once it is officially acted, there will be a lot of disputes, whether it is a loss or a profit, those people will not let him be at peace, and these things are now all lost to the Ma family.

However, he himself did not have the authority of his father before, and could easily suppress most things, so while sending people to negotiate with those people, he also informed Shabak City that he would delay his departure for a day or two, and anyway, when it came to the end, it would make no difference in a day or two.

If the time has been delayed, and those people still haven't been in place, then he has enough reason to limit their gains, and just as he was immersed in these thoughts, Ma Er walked over.

He saw that Ma Er's expression was serious and happy, obviously he had made some discoveries, so he nodded slightly and motioned for him to say.

"A few outlaws who have betrayed their family that the Li family has bribed, yesterday's adventure in the Sea of Sand Monsters, obtained a hand of information that may be very useful, please take a look at it." Ma Er said.

He took the densely written parchment, which detailed the events of their battle and their views on the Sand Monsters.

"Interestingly, the entire area is controlled by a wind demon, and all kinds of sand monsters that attack them are supposed to be animals that have been swallowed by quicksand, but unlike undead undead monsters, they can be destroyed by vital strikes."

The head of the Ma family read slowly:

"Clearing that piece of sand, that desert has become an ordinary sandy land, and there are many special metal fragments in the gravel turned into the corpse of the sand monster, which is a very valuable material at present, but those fragments cannot be found in the ordinary sand.

"Does that mean that the gold diggers used to pan for gold on the bodies of living sand monsters? That's a lot of infiltration. He said: "Immediately inform Li Tingao of this news in as much detail as possible, they will go to the front line to fight those monsters, I hope this information can help!" ”

Ma Er nodded and said, "Yes!" It's also thanks to the fact that the real outlaws were able to analyze and collect so much information in that scene. But according to them, they were able to come out alive thanks to the most wanted man in Beach City. ”

The head of the Ma family smiled dumbly, looked at Ma Er and said:

"It's the same myth and legend, a person killed the chickens and dogs in Biqi City, slaughtered the Yu family, and set a fire to the courtyard, and killed the Wind Guard and then drifted away?"

Ma Er said: "Judging from the Li family's statement, it is indeed him, and it is also unpredictable, and it is really not a myth." However, when Beechcraft's messenger came with Bai Rimen to negotiate with us, he hinted that this person actually had merit with Biech, and he should try to capture him alive. ”

"Regardless of his life and death, the Li family just threw this trouble to us. Beachtown has been entangled with orcs for thousands of years, and in recent years, they have experienced the disaster of Walmart, and according to the spies, their current power will not exceed that of any of our big families. ”

After a deep sigh, he said: "It's more or less an ally, you can try to fight for it, send someone to tell them in person, Lord Sun, that He Ming has appeared in the Mengzhong area, and now it's good that he doesn't know where he is." ”

Ma Er nodded and said, "Yes, the villain will do it immediately, but I heard Ma Jin mention that this person is likely to have a lot to do with Ye Zilan and the interrogator." ”

"Those guys are from Beechcraft, so let's just get involved. My fear was that the letter said that the Wind Demon had escaped despite being badly damaged. I remember telling Li Tingao that this time it devoured very elite warriors, unlike the previous gold diggers, I don't know if it will bring unknown changes to the sand monsters in the future. ”

Ma Er bowed to the ground and walked out.

Greedy adventurers and gamblers are only concerned about the wealth in the endless sea of sand, and if they are not prepared enough, they are basically used by the sand monsters of the sand sea to use those valuable metals as bait, and the moths will turn themselves into a part of the sand monsters, making them more powerful.

Comparable to the most cunning of the most cunning underdogs, the Sand Monsters can lurk as if they didn't exist, waiting for the Gold Diggers and Adventurers to take the most precious pieces from their bodies and take advantage of them, and then completely lose their guard and swallow them in one gulp.

And the nobles of the higher level of Tucheng, although they also coveted the wealth and resources there, they knew better why they were nobles.

Unlike Beachtown, which can only rely on a huge city and a few small villages for thousands of years, because of the magical rainy season and special geology, all the west of Shabak is the area of cultivation, grazing and hunting by the inhabitants of Tucheng, and humans are veritable masters of this land.

As the rainy season passed, the scattered residents needed to return to Tucheng to trade to make a living, and it was the huge population and distribution that made Tucheng able to afford horses, kings, li, and other small nobles.

Once the huge temptation brought by the interests in the desert makes a large number of people who do not have a great sense of belonging to be attracted to the past, but they are devoured by those sand monsters, then Mengzhong can no longer afford to raise such a large number of nobles, and the reason why those small nobles are not panicked is that they know that the three major families are more anxious.

Therefore, when the deadline came again, the materials agreed upon by the petty nobles were still provided symbolically, and they could not play a role in the supply of the expedition at all. The heads of the three major families had made up their minds, since they didn't plan to invest, then once they got the benefits in the desert, they wouldn't have any share.

After returning the pitiful supplies sent by those minor nobles, the three major families directly brought the materials from the warehouse themselves and brought them to Shabak City with their organized team.

After all, the population, resources and new territories that can be developed in the oasis are all the three major families will focus on it, and the little nobles will not think so far at all as long as they sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and even if the desert really has a lot of interests, it will not let their situation change much, and it is best not to participate in one plus one or subtraction.

Therefore, the Tucheng magnates who had been repeatedly entangled in these matters finally made a final decision, and as soon as their people arrived in Shabak City, they found that the operation time had been delayed for two days, but the team from Shabak City had already prepared to go, and it looked like they would set off if they didn't come.

Ma Jin urged the horse to run close to the commander of this team: in front of Ye Zilan, he saluted and said, "I'm very sorry that we are late, now that both life and materials are ready, our people are all under your command!" ”

Ye Zilan said: "The day we decided to set off, the cold snap passed, and even the sword could not stop the adventurer's footsteps as soon as the weather turned warm, and in the past four days, I don't know how many people have sneaked into the desert, and those who have been carried back are a few, and every minute of delay will cause the alliance to lose more people." ”

Ma Jin said: "The Ma family is very sorry for this, but fortunately, we have made all preparations now, and I hope it will not be too late." ”

Ye Zilan said: "Fortunately, we have also tried the information of the sand monsters obtained by the Li family at the risk of death, the situation is true, this will be of great help to our operations, we plan to concentrate a large force to clear the sea of sand monsters out of a safe area first, and open up the road to the oasis, and the oasis area is even more dangerous, I hope you are mentally prepared." ”

Ma Jin straightened up, put his hands on his chest and said, "We are all ready, just waiting for your order, please treat us as a pawn, give the order!" ”

Ye Zilan's staff pointed to the east and shouted, "Let's go!" ”
