Chapter 64: Barren Land

The Barren Land is a barren grassland with vegetation that stretches from Mount Rocktalon to the west to Durontar to the east. To the southwest www.biquge.info the meadows and flat-topped mountains of Mogaolei are bound, and to the southeast are the wetlands of the dust swamps. Most of the area is made up of vast plains. Hot air from the mountains to the west formed a whirlwind that ran rampant throughout the plains. These great storms incite the dust demons to tear anything but tenacious bushes to shreds.

Zhang Shikang said weakly: "Could it be that this is the Flame Mountain?" ”

The sand and gravel under the scorching sun, revealing a trace of heat, looked up, it seemed that the red soil under his feet was floating with a faint and continuous heat wave, and the soles of the Kodomon's feet left a walking mark on the destitute land. In this barren place, are there also hidden legends?

Seeing the boss's uncomfortable appearance, Mager handed over the water bag and said, "Drink saliva first." ”

Zhang Shikang took the hose and poured it violently, feeling that his throat instantly brightened a lot.

In the Barren Lands, water is more important than gold, and the location of the caves where the water hides is considered one of the most important secrets by the inhabitants.

The dry riverbed and a never-ending cobweb-like canyon make any trip through the desert a dangerous and difficult affair. No civilization has been established in the entire region, and the climate is dry. The speed of death from heat and lack of water can be compared to jumping off a cliff at Rock Claw. If you don't bring enough water, you won't be able to cross it.

"This is a barren place, and the temperature difference between day and night can reach 80 degrees. ”

Zhang Shikang is a person who travels from south to north, and he said weakly: "The temperature in Dulongtal is not so high. ”

The magic beast asked in surprise, "The boss has also been to Durontar?" ”

Zhang Shikang said about his great achievements: "Yes, your boss and I, I have traveled south and north, in the past two months, I have been to the Endless Sea, the Lost Islands, pirates, and so on. ”

"Wow!!" Magic Red and the others looked at their boss with a look of adoration, and they were really big shots.

"Save some effort, low-key, low-key."

Under the scorching sun, the Gobi Desert is like roasting on a stove, and the scorching heat wave sweeps every inch of land, making people breathless. Zhang Shikang had to wrap his scalp and face in silk to keep himself from being scorched.

"How long do we have to get to Ratchet City?"

The Magic Sea was a shaman, so the guide of the team handed it to him, and he picked up the ancient map and said, "At this rate, it will take seven days for us to walk along the Golden Ancient Path." ”

"Seven days?" Zhang Shikang said with a depressed face: "What about God? Spare me. Why don't I take an airship? He now remembered the many benefits of the airship, but unfortunately, the airship could only go in Thunder Bluff. If he still wants to live, he can't go.

The Golden Road runs from north to south through the Barrens, and Ratchet City is at the end of this road. The road is long enough.

Zhang Shikang and his entourage traveled for half an hour, before noon, on the day of a round of red sun, there was no cloud, and the day was very hot. The heat wave hits people, and the noise is overwhelming. Thousands of miles are like retorts, and a round of umbrellas is on the same day. There are no clouds in the four fields, the wind is lonely, the trees are burning the streams; Thousands of mountains are scorching, peeling off the stones and cracking the ashes. The birds in the air are about to rest, descending into the thorny forest, and the stone tiger is breathless, which is the iron man must sweat. Look at the sun in the afternoon, the stone is hot, and the foot hurts and can't walk.

Zhang Shikang saw the plants that seemed to be big thorns in front of him, and said: "It's hot like this, and we don't kill people in the sun, let's go to the shade in front and take a rest." ”

"Okay, boss." Mager agreed to Zhang Shikang's request. A few people got out of the Kodomon and sat and gasped for breath under the thorns. The next mount left everyone out of breath.

The magic beast took out some grain and grass to feed the Kodo beast, these six Kodo beasts were purchased for more than 100 g by his wife, these are treasures, of course they need to be taken care of.

Zhang Shikang saw the magic beast working so hard, and said with concern: "Beast, hurry up and come over to rest and rest, and drink some water." ”

The Magic Beast said happily, "Got it, boss. ”

Zhang Shikang said to the magic red again: "Xiaohong, aren't you druids very good at studying the magic of the natural environment?" Can you summon a cloud? Raining a little? ”

Magic Red blushed and said, "Boss, this can't be." ”

"Why?"

"I'm a beast druid, I don't know elemental skills, even if I'm an elemental druid, this is at least something that the Great Druid can do."

"That's right. Oh, this land has really been sinned. ”

"Yes, boss, it is said that the barren land used to be very good." The Sea of Magic tells the story of 10,000 years ago:

10,000 years ago, the barren land was once a verdant and fertile plain, until the cataclysm occurred, destroying the local ecology......

The sea of magic was telling, and I saw a person in the thorn forest opposite, where he looked at his head, and Mager said, "Who is coming?!" He picked up the stump, drove into the thorn forest, and exclaimed, "You are so bold? Get your name in! ”

When Zhang Shikang came to see, he saw three carriages in the thorn forest, five people stripped naked and took a cool place there, a sideburn boss took a cinnabar mark, held a long knife, looked at Magel to come along, and the five people shouted in unison: "Oh! "All jumped.

Zhang Shikang shouted: "Who are you waiting for? ”

The five: "Who are you?" ”

"We're merchants, what about you?"

"We are also merchants, and because the road is too hot, we have the right to rest in this thorny forest and wait until it is cold at night. We only heard that someone was coming, and we were afraid that it would be a robbery, so we sent this brother out to take a look. ”

Zhang Shikang said: "I see, we are also ordinary guests. I saw you peeping just now, lest you were robbing, so I came to see you. He looked at it privately, the rut was deep, were there any valuables in there?

"You're going to Ratchet City too?"

"Yes."

"What's in the car?"

The sideburns boss said vigilantly: "It's all worthless souvenirs." ”

"Oh." Zhang Shikang nodded, didn't care about it, but glanced at Marger, and said: "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, even if we meet fate, my name is Kang, dare to ask Your Excellency what to call it?" ”

The sideburns boss laughed and said, "My name is Forrest Gump." ”

"Okay, Brother Forrest Gump. We're acquainted. Give it to a friend. Zhang Shikang bowed his hand and said:

Forrest Gump also learned from Zhang Shikang and bowed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Zhang Shikang gave Marger a look, smiled and slowly retreated.

"Boss, what do you mean by giving me a look desperately?"

"I'll talk about it later."
