Chapter 293: Journey of Death II
The desert merchant didn't care who was behind him, he was engrossed in observing the disc in his hand, adjusting the direction of his progress from time to time.
I don't know how long he has been walking, Wu Wei can only feel that the sky is a little brighter than before, maybe at noon, the desert merchant looked at the disc in his hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and shouted: "Everyone hold on a little longer, there is a sea breeze belt not far ahead, and there is no floating sand there!" After saying that, he unconsciously sped up a little, and he seemed to be more difficult to bear the pressure here than the others.
The morale of the whole team was boosted, and everyone picked up the pace with the desert merchants. Wu Wei is a gamer next to him, and his level is very low. Compared with the others, he was already exhausted, and he insisted on coming here completely by willpower, and suddenly saw that everyone began to speed up, and hurriedly mustered up his spirits and hurried a few steps, so as not to fall behind. As a result, he made a mistake in his busyness, and stumbled forward and fell down, hitting the hooves of the camel next to him, and suddenly a wound was broken on his forehead, and blood flowed.
Without giving anyone time to react, a large number of blood-sucking flying insects immediately pounced on his forehead, these flying insects were originally almost transparent, but in an instant they turned blood red, and traces of blood plasma could be seen flowing in their bodies.
Wu Wei saw that the player's wound was rapidly expanding, and countless blood-sucking flying insects pounced on his wound, and kept tearing the wound, and after only one breath, the player's face was already a blur of flesh and blood. He screamed and slashed around with the sharp blade in his hand, but instead of hurting a flying insect, he slashed a camel beside him. The next moment, the camel also roared incessantly, rushed left and right, and lost control.
Wu Wei saw that things were not good, and seeing that the entire camel team was about to turn into chaos, without saying a word, one jumped to the player's side, grabbed his clothes behind his back with one hand, and threw him in the direction of the desert merchant's advance.
Wu Wei threw the player out of more than 300 meters, and at this time, the camel team was already less than 100 meters away from the sea breeze belt, which directly sent him to safety, and the blood-sucking flying insects on his wound left the range of floating sand, and immediately turned into a viscous liquid, mixed with blood plasma and flowed all over the player's body.
Wu Wei did not delay, so he repeated the trick, grabbed the out-of-control camel with both hands, and threw it in the same direction. In fact, Wu Wei didn't know if he could save the gamer and the camel, but at this time, for the safety of the whole team, they had to keep them away from the team. Luckily, they were able to get out of the sand zone safely.
The desert merchant just heard the screams behind him, he had experienced such a scene several times, and he had no intention of staying, and almost escaped from the floating sand barrier as fast as possible, but fortunately, Wu Wei dealt with it in time and did not cause panic in the team, and everyone ran out after him.
The desert merchant looked at the man and the camel lying wailing not far away, and then glanced at Wu Wei gratefully. Wu Wei used the soft energy of Tai Chi, and although he threw them far away, he did not cause other damage.
Immediately someone rushed to bandage their wounds, the camels were very resilient, and the gamers recovered faster. The whole caravan only adjusted for a moment before it was ready to get back on the road.
It was still the desert merchant who was at the forefront of the team, and Wu Wei cast his perception and found that although his perception had recovered somewhat, it was still greatly disturbed, and the perception range was only 100 meters. It is called the sea breeze belt, and from the east there is a constant damp sea breeze hanging, and there is more vegetation on the ground, some low grass, and even a few bushes, but the sun is still not visible in the sky, and the whole dome is a white patch, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction.
Wu Wei rushed to the head of the team, approached the desert merchant and asked, "How far is it?" ”
The desert merchant replied, "This is just the beginning, and at the speed of the caravan, it will take at least ten days to get out of the Death Desert." ”
Wu Wei was anxious when he heard this, the dungeon would launch a general attack at any time, and he seemed to be unable to afford to delay it for ten days.
"Can't you speed it up?"
The desert merchant shook his head: "You have also seen that there is a deadly crisis everywhere here, and if you are not careful, the whole camel team will be destroyed." Don't let your guard down at any time, this is the area where sand banditry is most rampant. The road I chose was relatively safe, avoiding the trade routes of other cities, but there was a good chance that I would encounter those bandits. ”
Wu Wei asked, "Where did these sand bandits come from?" ”
The Desert Merchant said, "Behind us is the Sea of Silence, and there is the open sea. There is a dark river under the Silent Sea, which sometimes forms a huge whirlpool on the surface of the sea, and the ships on the surface of the sea are swept into it. There are many outlets to the Dark River, and several oases in this sea breeze belt are the outlets of the Dark River. These bandits were originally pirates or fishermen, who were swept into the river and could not return, and over time became sand bandits. ”
The desert merchant paused, looked at Wu Wei and said, "But recently, the sand bandits have added another new force, that is, the adventers who have descended to this area, and they can't leave this place, and many of them have joined forces with this gang of sand bandits. ”
Wu Wei smiled and said, "These advent people are already very unfortunate, people must live, if I come to this Jedi from the beginning, I'm afraid I will have to cooperate with the sand bandits." ”
Wu Wei thought for a moment and asked, "However, how did these sand bandits find their way in this desert of death?" ”
The desert merchant smiled, spread out his palm and said to Wu Wei, "Didn't you already see the compass in my hand?" These sand bandits were originally pirates, they have been begging for a living at sea, no one can better locate and find their way, and they have countless navigation tools in their hands. ”
Wu Wei smiled and asked, "This is the compass?" I'm just curious how you managed to locate yourself in the desert. ”
"It's called a marker compass, and it can be marked at any place, and from then on this compass can show the distance to the marked place, and the place marked by the compass in my hand is an oasis in the sea breeze belt, and we have to get there before tonight." When the desert merchant saw that Wu Wei had discovered the compass, there was no need to hide it anymore, but he had a frank relationship with Wu Wei in exchange for favor.
Wu Wei observed intently, and sure enough, he saw a set of numbers appearing on the compass, which should be the distance from the marked place.
"It's so handy."
"Well, it's worth a lot of money, if you arrive safely this time, as a reward, I can give you a compass that hasn't been marked."
"This can be considered, and it is more useful than giving money."
The two talked a few more words, and Wu Wei saw that he couldn't find any other secrets, so he returned to the back of the team and followed slowly, but he had other ideas in his heart.
