Chapter 588: There is no return
Hehe, okay, I'll go buy seeds first. Daddy doesn't know how to refine weapons, but my fire-based ability allows me to find a job in the base. It's still okay to process materials for the research institute and burn a boiler or something. We don't have any destination for a while, so let's stay at the White Tiger Base for a while, and then go out to practice when we have saved up enough crystal nuclei and added supplies. ”
"Okay, Daddy, I'll work hard to earn crystal nuclei."
"Okay, Daddy and Cher work together."
Although Lan Shangzhi was worried that there was still a Mu Lifeng beside him, he wanted to take his daughter out of Mu Lifeng's sight as soon as possible, but this was not an easy task.
One is that he and Lan Xue really need to replenish those equipment supplies. Again, if Mu Lifeng followed them from Xiawu Town, Lan Shangzhi was not sure, and after leaving the White Tiger Base, he could easily get rid of Mu Lifeng's tracking.
Since he can't get rid of Mu Lifeng's monitoring for the time being, it is better to stay in the White Tiger Base. Here, Mu Lifeng will always be jealous and will not do anything to him and Lan Xue. When he and Lan Xue have scraped together enough money for the journey, they will find a chance to leave.
What's more, after more than three months of wandering, he and Lan Xue need time to recuperate.
Lan Shangzhi made up his mind, and while everyone was looking for the ancient city in the Western Desert, he took his daughter to earn money at the White Tiger Base. This father and daughter, who have been trying their best to avoid themselves and everyone, don't know what kind of wonderful chivalrous romance and feud are staged every day in the Western Desert, which they have neglected.
Even if they went out for three months, and later were forced by the situation to team up with others, Lan Shangzhi and Lan Xue still had too little communication with others, and their understanding of the situation was also one-sided, and many of them were outdated news.
For example, since the ancient city has appeared in the desert, why are everyone still stranded in the White Tiger Base and not rushed to the destination as soon as possible like when the Ice Palace Secret Realm was born before? This question, in the eyes of Lan Shangzhi and Lan Xue, is irrelevant.
Because Lan Shangzhi only has his daughter in his eyes, he just hopes to take care of his daughter and make her happy. During this time, I was full of thoughts about how to cultivate my daughter's independence. And Lan Xue, when it was normal, her memory and IQ were only thirteen years old, and she wouldn't think about it so much.
It's a long story to say why everyone stayed at the White Tiger base instead of rushing to the desert ancient city in a swarm. This starts with how the ancient city in the desert was discovered.
The first people to pay attention to the desert were naturally the Lin family of the White Tiger Base. A long time ago, not long after the end of the world came, the Lin family of the White Tiger Base sent people all the way west to investigate.
They don't just look into the surrounding environment, resources, etc., they also need to know about the situation in other countries that were once in close proximity. Is it like them, also experiencing the end times? Has the situation in their country been brought under control?
The route was changed several times, and the result obtained was unexpected: the border line of the Great Xia Kingdom disappeared.
Once the frontier was beyond the primeval forest. That primeval forest is the one that Shen Ye led a team of people to explore a few years ago.
But now, after going out of the primeval forest, it is a desert. It's not just borders that have disappeared, but also those neighbors that once were, big and small, neighbors of neighbors.
This desert, as if it appeared suddenly, is one yellow and one green from the primeval forest, and the dividing line is clear. Seeing the yellow sand in the sky, people can't help but wonder if everything that used to be was buried in the ground by this yellow sand.
Since the discovery of the newly emerged desert, the White Tiger Base has sent waves of people to explore this desert.
It's just that there are many people who go out, but few people can come back. As the strength of the ability increased and the equipment improved, someone later came back with the news that the ability could not be used in the desert.
Knowing this, it is understandable why several groups of people were sent out, but no one was able to return. Traversing the perilous primeval forest is no longer easy, and it is no longer possible to use abilities, and it is even more difficult to survive in a desert where supplies are difficult to replenish.
While the people of the White Tiger Base continued to explore the desert, others began to pay attention to the western part of the Great Xia Kingdom. There are even many people who have gone into the desert to explore.
Recently, someone came back from the desert to say that an ancient city had been found in the desert. Why did someone suddenly leave the chaotic space with countless chances and come to the western desert instead?
It is said that these brave people who dared to enter the desert to explore were based on the situation in the eastern, southern and northern parts of the Great Xia Kingdom, and deduced that the western part should also be organically related. They wanted to be among the first to discover the West.
Why are these people so sure that the Western Desert must have a fate? They have examples to prove it.
Now, because of the geographical location of the Great Xia Kingdom, these four directions have a new name. There is no sea in the east, boundless swamps in the south, endless deserts in the west, and endless ice fields in the north.
The Hopeless Sea in the eastern part of the Great Xia Kingdom is homophonic and different from the Wufu Sea in the Tianchen Continent. The origin of the Wufu Sea in the Tianchen Continent is impossible to verify because the end of the year is far away, but it can be guessed that the hopeless sea of the Great Xia Kingdom refers to the endless sea.
What are the chances in the hopeless sea? The sea is already rich, and the sea itself is a chance. The more special existence of the Hopeless Sea is the space with terrifying beasts that make people fearful. It's just that no one can say whether it was a chance or a disaster.
The boundless swamp in the south of Great Xia, what's there? Disrupted space. Although there are many crises in the chaotic space, there are indeed opportunities large and small.
As for the Boundless Ice Fields in the north of the Great Xia Kingdom, it brought the Great Xia Kingdom the initial opportunity to cultivate immortals, the Ice Palace Secret Realm, which opened a new era of immortal cultivation for the whole people of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Since there are already three examples, some people speculate that there should also be opportunities in the desert in the western part of the Great Xia Kingdom. Since then, more and more people have voluntarily gone to the desert to find opportunities.
From the White Tiger base to the boundless desert, you need to pass through a vast primeval forest. If you don't want to cross the forest, there are routes, but you have to take a long detour.
It was a bare mountain, with no towering trees except for dwarf shrubs. But the situation is not much better, the walk is also very difficult, strange rocks, there are many mutated animals and plants, and the distance is five times that of a straight line through the primeval forest.
Therefore, as long as you have some strength and think that you can protect yourself, you will still choose to walk through the primeval forest. Not only does this route save time, but so far, no one has been heard of successfully reaching the Infinite Desert from the other side of the mountain. I don't know what's over there, people in the past have gone and never returned.
