Chapter 102: Into the Sea of Thundering Sands
So Wen Long and Catherine waited a little on the side of the road, watching Uncle Hexon and his merchants carry the large bundles of goods onto the back of the herbivorous dragon, and then skillfully tied them firmly with thick hemp rope.
Judging from the smooth movements of these merchants when they bundled goods, they should all be experienced old merchants, but from the actions of most merchants who struggled to move piles of goods, Wenlong could still see that because these merchants were a little older, they were really a little unable to do manual work.
"Hey, old man, why don't you recruit more young people when your caravan is full of old men? Meow? Wen Long voiced his doubts.
"Young man?" Uncle Hexon sighed, "Alas, who doesn't want to recruit young people, but there are very few young people nowadays who like to do this, for example, the eldest lady of our Chamber of Commerce, who put aside the family business at a young age and did not inherit it, actually ran away to be a hunter......"
"Oh, I see...... Meow. Wen Long touched his chin thoughtfully.
"So, Uncle Hesson, let me help you!" At this time, Catherine said suddenly.
"You? We're old men, but we're embarrassed to let you do this kind of rough work as a girl. ”
"It's okay, it's easy for me."
Catherine had already lifted the two bundles of goods, and then put them on the back of the herbivorous dragon very easily, while a merchant on the side hurriedly tied the goods with rope and fixed them.
"It's really amazing, I didn't expect it to have such a big power...... many businessmen burst out in amazement.
Then Catherine took several bundles of goods in succession and put them on the back of the herbivorous dragon, and the whole process did not pause, but her face did not blush, her heart did not beat, and she did not even breathe. With Catherine's help, the merchant was able to tie the goods to the herbivorous dragon's back, which was quickly completed ahead of schedule.
"Thank you so much." Uncle Hesson thanked him from the bottom of his heart on behalf of the surrounding businessmen.
"It's okay, Uncle Hesson, it's right for everyone to help each other, and it's easy for me." Catherine said with some embarrassment.
"You can't say that, it's rare to see a young person like you helping others now. Also, you are much better than the Ailu cat you raised, and you know how to be polite and know how to help others......" As he said this, Uncle Hexon glanced at Wenlong, who was lying under the tree resting at this time, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.
"No, although Mr. Cat's mouth is a little unpleasant, but his heart is very good." Catherine hurriedly corrected.
"Oh, is that so......" As he spoke, Uncle Hexon sighed again and said, "Alas, it would be nice if our Chamber of Commerce could have a capable young man like you, anyway, the eldest lady in our Chamber of Commerce was about the same age as you when she went to be a hunter, I haven't seen it for a long time, and now I don't know where to go, I don't know if I would like to come back to inherit the Chamber of Commerce......"
"I think you'll find her, Uncle Hesson." Catherine said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, people, when you get older, you like to gossip, please don't be surprised...... Now that the goods are tied, it's time to go......"
As he spoke, Old Uncle Hexon raised the whip in his hand and struck the body of a herbivorous dragon at the leader of the caravan with a "snap", and then the herbivorous dragon snorted low and began to walk forward.
"Let's go!" Uncle Hessen took the reins of the herbivorous dragon and walked at the front of the caravan.
With the leader of the herbivorous dragon as the goal, the herbivorous dragon behind also moved together, which shows that the leading herbivorous dragon is the leader of the entire herbivorous dragon group, and the other herbivorous dragons all take the actions of the leading herbivorous dragon as their own code of action. This is somewhat similar to the leader of the flock.
The others, including Wen Long and Catherine, followed behind the other herbivores, mainly to spot the herbivorous dragons that had fallen behind at the end of the group, or if the merchandise on the dragon's back had fallen because it was not bundled properly.
In this way, the whole team turned into a long, slender snake and began to move.
According to Wen Long's plan, the whole caravan passed near the cave where Wen Long and Catherine lived, where Wen Long ordered Big Gray and Little Gray to move all the prey materials they had accumulated in the cave, and then these goods were carried to the back of the herbivorous dragon, and set off with the entire caravan to be transported to the big city of Mejepoltan for sale.
As for the money for these materials, it will be settled after it arrives at Mejepoltan, and the settlement value will be calculated based on the real-time market price of similar products in Mejepoltan on the market on that day.
……
Two days later.
After two days of climbing mountains and wading through waters, the caravan finally came to the edge of the thundering sand sea.
Before that, the caravan had been traveling on the Himeron Mountain Road, and everything was normal, and there were no powerful monsters that posed a threat to the caravan. It can even be said that most of the monsters consciously chose to retreat after seeing such a caravan composed of more than twenty herbivorous dragons and seven or eight people, and only a few dared to rush up without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and then were easily killed by Wen Long and Catherine effortlessly.
It can be said that the journey of these two days was very smooth and there was no danger, but all this changed from the beginning of entering the Thundering Sand Sea.
"It's so hot...... Wenlong took a big sip of water, but the water immediately turned into sweat and flowed out, and it didn't seem to have any effect on cooling down.
Looking up at Catherine, she found that the sweat had also soaked Catherine's hair, and her bangs were already tightly pressed against her forehead. My breathing, which should have been steady, became a little rapid.
This made Wenlong a little impatient.
"Hey, old man, what time is it? Is the time up? Uncle Ben is about to heat up like a dog, meow! ”
"Wait a minute, I'll see."
Uncle Hesson took out a pocket watch from his bosom, looked at the time on it, then raised his head again and squinted his eyes, and looked at the sun in the sky with his hand half-covered. Wen Long knew that this was Uncle Hessen's and was using two different methods to confirm the time to ensure the correctness of the time. Otherwise, if the pocket watch in one hand is broken, it is very likely that you will draw the wrong conclusion in terms of time.
"It's almost, both the pocket watch and the sun show that it's five minutes before 12 o'clock in the afternoon, so if you can't bear it, drink the cold drink."
