Xue Hua pulled his hand out of the pile of items on the cockroach's back, and held a tattered fur scroll in his palm.

He first had Isha test the scroll for psionic fluctuations and toxins, and after confirming that there was no problem, he untied the string tied to the scroll.

He spread the scroll in the palm of his hand and watched it carefully by the light of the nearby fires of the wooden planks ignited by the explosives thrown by the cat people.

However, the contents of this scroll were so strange that he was simply inexplicable.

It was a hodgepodge of jumble lines and unformed images, as well as some kind of old strange text that had no idea what it meant.

Just as he was puzzled by the contents of the scroll, Varif finally arrived with the pros and the caravan guards.

"The hosts! Are you alright?! ”

The first to pounce were naturally the two worried little mercenaries.

Funia still blames herself for not leaving the caravan.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine, don't you know what I'm capable of?" Xue Hua stretched out his hand to kill with a double touch, and finally calmed down the two girls.

Kane and Varif who came up afterwards stood aside and watched the scene with a smile, knowing that this was not the time to disturb.

However, when Kane's eyes swept over the fur scroll that Xue Hua was holding in his hand, his expression suddenly became solemn.

He stepped forward in a few steps, patted Xue Hua's shoulder gently, and then pointed to the fur scroll in his hand and said, "This, can you show me?" ”

"Well, of course." Xue Hua, who was comforting and eating tofu, felt a little upset because he was interrupted, but thinking of Kane's erudite reputation, he felt that he probably knew what this strange scroll was, so he happily handed the scroll over.

After Kane took the scroll, he didn't look at the scroll directly from the side where Xue Hua was looking, but turned it over, close to a firelight, and viewed it from the back of the scroll.

The front of the scroll hissed slightly under the heat of the flames, and a trace of green smoke slowly rose from the scroll.

After about ten seconds, a magical scene happened.

I saw that on the back of the scroll, which originally had nothing, a rather delicate topographical map slowly emerged!

Seeing this scene, Varif, who was standing on the sidelines, was also interested, and he called a few managers to instruct the guards and professionals to clean up the battlefield, and then walked towards Kane.

"Mr. Kane, what the hell is this?" Xue Hua raised his eyebrows, and looked at the map that appeared on the back of the scroll in surprise, feeling a little incredible.

This kind of secrecy can not only make people unable to detect the fluctuations of spiritual energy, but also very secretively conceal the true secrets of the scroll, and its secrecy is really not unclassified.

But why use such a high-level method of secrecy on a map that appears to be mostly mutilated?

"I... I just gave it a try, but I didn't expect it to actually exist......" Kane touched the beard on his chin, and his tone was full of disbelief.

"What the hell is this map? Satisfy our curiosity, Lord Kane! Varif also pleaded, it was impossible for a merchant who had walked the desert all year round not to be interested in things like maps.

And this map, which is hidden in such a clever way, has really aroused his curiosity.

"Let's go back and talk about it, this matter should not ......be made public here," Kane didn't mean to explain at all, but just turned his head and glanced at the leaders of the other two caravans who were slowly walking towards the battlefield with people.

Variif instantly understood his concerns, knowing that the matter might be too trivial for anyone else to know.

So, he nodded to Kane and took the initiative to meet the two caravan leaders.

"Take it, Xue, wait a minute, get back to the caravan, and I'll tell you the legend of this map."

Kane shoved the map back into Xue Hua's hand, whispered something in his ear, and then walked in the direction of the caravan as if nothing had happened.

Xue Hua looked at the strange map in his hand, which had been completely changed, and an interesting expression appeared on his face.

I didn't expect to be able to harvest this kind of strange thing by casually killing a tribe of cats who came to be dead.

Judging by Kane's cautious approach to this map, this shouldn't be some kind of weird cat-man treasure map.

A treasure map could not have elicited such interest and reaction from Kane.

So where exactly does this map lead to?

Moreover, why did it explode from a group of monster projections?

If it's something particularly important, shouldn't it be brought along by the deity when he goes to hell?

Xue Hua thought hard, but he didn't come up with a reason until his brain began to hurt.

"Forget it, don't care about this, we'll find out later!"

Xue Hua shook his head and smiled, thinking that this kind of thing was not what he was good at in the first place, especially now that he didn't even know what the map of what this thing was.

So he simply didn't want to do it, and directly dismissed the swarm, and then took the hands of the two little girls and walked towards the inside of the assembly point.

The battle loss statistics and various battlefield clean-up tasks were completed quickly because of the experienced principal of Variv.

Thankfully, since this time the swarm can be said to have single-handedly killed all the cat-people who came to attack, the casualties on the human side are not heavy.

There were only two unlucky sentinels who were quietly touched by the scouts sent by the cat people.

However, in terms of material losses, the medium-sized caravan still suffered some losses due to its relatively remote position and the use of explosive charges during the cat-man attack, and two medium-sized cargo caravans were blown up by explosives.

But this loss was still within the acceptable range of the medium-sized caravan owner.

Frankly speaking, judging from the cat-man corpses on the battlefield, this is definitely a super-large-scale attack.

If there is no swarm in front, then among the three caravans present, I am afraid that only the Varif caravan with a large number of professionals can avoid large losses.

The other two caravans can already be considered victorious if they can save their lives!

So for the result of only losing a little cargo, the principal of the medium-sized caravan almost felt that he had hit a big luck.

He repeatedly told Varif that he hoped to meet the legendary "Lord Xue" so that he could express his gratitude in person.

At the same time, I was more determined to hug this thick thigh.

After taking care of the main matters, Variif handed over the rest of the bits and pieces to his subordinates, and couldn't wait to come to the caravan where Xue Hua and the others lived.

In the caravan, Xue Hua and Kane and two little girls had already set up a small table of wine and food, waiting for his arrival.

"Wow! So hearty! Could it all be that Miss Funia is working with? Varif laughed twice, removed the bulging wine bag from his waist, and sat down cross-legged on the blanket on the side.

"It wasn't my Funia who did it, did you do it?" Xue Hua rolled his eyes, reached out and took a piece of mixed vegetable pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, and then his face showed an intoxicated expression.

"It's so delicious!"

"Hehe, okay, now that Varif has arrived, let's talk while eating. Xue, what about the map? ”

Kane smiled and nodded to Varif before reaching out and taking the map from Xue Hua.

"This map, in fact, has been circulating in the desert since very distant times, the location of a legendary oasis......

Kane spread out the map in front of him, touched his beard, and spoke.

"A legendary oasis? Wait, I think I've heard of this legend too......"

Variif was stunned for a moment, and a strange look suddenly appeared on his face: "But shouldn't that just be a legend?" ”

"Actually, Varif is real, our ancestors of the sandfolk stumbled upon that oasis in the desert before it was established... Legend has it that there is endless fresh water, abundant pastures, and an inexhaustible supply of minerals of all kinds, as well as all kinds of rare animals that have never been seen in the outside world......"

Kane's eyes lit up with a pensive look that seemed to be pondering something.

But he didn't know that what he said just now had already whetted the appetite of Xue Hua, who was the master of the Zerg!

If the fabled oasis was indeed as much of a natural resource as Kane described.

Wouldn't that give the swarm a perfect second reality base location?
