The desert is vast and boundless, and there is no end in sight, Luo Tian and the others followed behind the roe mu, to say that it is not completely a desert, and it is not entirely a desert, and you can still see dotted oases in the desert, the scale of these oases is not large, it looks like a town.
"These places used to be forests, but with the passage of time, the once lush forests have gradually turned into deserts, and only these dotted oases remain here, telling the story of the once lush foliage here. Zhangmu said.
Luo Tian sat on the back of the pack beast, the wind and sand blowing on his cheeks, Luo Tian remembered the days when he was in the world, and the memories of fleeing everywhere in Dashun.
The route guided by the roe eyes became more and more remote, and at first you could still see some caravans scattered, but after walking for half a day, the caravans were completely invisible, and there was not even any trace of wild beasts on the desert, at most you could see some reptiles and poisonous snakes passing back and forth.
Luo Tian lowered his head and asked, "Zhangmu, how long do we have to go?"
"It may take a little while, I guess it won't be until after the sun goes down, and if you feel tired, you can sleep on the back of the beast of burden. The roe looked up and said.
Luo Tian smiled and didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that the roe man deliberately pulled him around the long way, the roe must not have expected that Luo Tian would have the most high-grade topographic map in his hand, on the low-grade topographic map, the roads around the roe eyes are at most half a day away, in fact, it is not very obvious, but in the most high-end topographic map, the road around the roe mu is clear at a glance.
In fact, if you take the caravan official road through the desert, you can reach the vicinity of the Ancient Secret Realm in half a day at most, and then from the topographical map, you need to pass through several oases to reach the exact location of the Ancient Secret Realm.
Even if you want to bypass the official road of the caravan and take some more remote routes, it will only take an hour or two at most.
But now the route guided by the roe is not quite right, because according to the direction that the roe mu is taking, it is basically the opposite of the ancient secret realm, in other words, this guy is moving in the opposite direction with Luo Tian and them.
Luo Tian didn't say that he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the deer, and asked how far he had to go in order to determine the time it would take to return to the ancient secret realm, if the deer said that he would walk for several days, then Luo Tian probably wouldn't be in the mood to continue to entangle with it.
The sky is getting dark, in addition to the whistling sound of wind and sand on the desert, there is only the low roar of the pack beast, the big insect is holding the remaining half of the steamed bun in his hand, and he is lying drowsy on the truck pulled by the pack beast at the moment, and only the little giant of the big insect can be brought by a pack beast with great strength like this.
When the day was thin, the roe deer motioned for the pack beast to stop advancing, and it pulled the reins to stop the pack beast, and then turned back and said: "It's not safe to travel at night, there are many highly poisonous reptiles on the desert that are active at night, I think it's better to rest here today, and we will go on the road again tomorrow after the sun comes out." โ
"Didn't you say that the sun would go down when it came?" Luo Tian asked.
Zhangmu shook his head and said, "It seems that my estimation of the time is wrong, I'm sorry for you." โ
"According to you, this place is full of insects, and the sand is not safe, so we have to find an oasis for us to settle down, right?" Zhong Xu on the side shouted.
There was a hint of cunning between his eyebrows, as if Zhong Xu's words were expected, and when he opened his mouth, he said, "That's it...... Okay, there is a sand dune in front of it called the White Plains Dune, and there is a relatively large oasis on it, this oasis because there are occasional caravans or wandering individual travelers, so someone has built a small inn in the oasis of the White Plains Dunes, if you don't want to settle down in the desert, then you can go to that oasis. โ
Luo Tian nodded and said, "Since there is a small inn, let's go to the small inn for one night, how far is it from here?"
"It's only a mile or two, not very far, but after all, it is the only foothold in the desert before and after, and the cost of the inn is not cheap. The roe deer said, and then saw Luo Tian wave his hand as if he didn't care about the money, so he urged the beast of burden again to walk in the direction of the white plain sand dunes.
Luo Tian naturally knew why Zhangmu wanted to lead him to the Baiyuan Sand Dune, because the guy who colluded with the Zhangmu was waiting in the Baiyuan Dune, and on the most high-end topographic map, the Baiyuan Dune did not mark any inn, and the oasis in that place was not particularly large, obviously all this was a lie told by Zhangmu.
A mile or two away was soon reached, and the oasis itself in the darkness was not visible, but in the desert below the oasis there was a fire, and this firelight Luo Tian saw very clearly, reflecting a few houses that looked a little simple.
The roe mug controlled the pack beast to stop slowly, and then cast a spell to light a torch, and waved it towards the inn with the torch, and soon saw someone walking out of the inn, it was a few short-looking demon clans.
"Is there a room available, stay at the hotel tonight. Zhangmu opened his mouth and said, several short demon clans hurriedly answered, and then walked up, the things that should be carried are the things, the reins are the reins, and after a while, Luo Tian and them were brought into the inn.
The inn is also very small, the largest room is only two floors up, the demon clan here is very different from the demon clan in other places, the demon clan should live on the sea of trees, but even if it is an oasis here, the forest coverage area is not large, so these demon clans built a spiral wooden staircase in the middle of the house, but this also makes the middle two-story house look more crowded.
Luo Tian lit a cigarette and said, "There doesn't seem to be much business here." โ
The little demon on the side replied with a smile: "It's a coincidence that the boss came, originally our store has always been full, but isn't it a strict inspection recently, so the guests who stayed in the past are not so many, if you come in the past, I'm afraid you may not be able to live in the room." โ
Luo Tian walked into the room, very simple layout, the furniture used looked new, Luo Tian stood next to the stairs and looked down, and saw that the roe eyes were whispering something with a few little demons.
After waiting for the roe to come up, Luo Tian asked, "Is there any trouble, I see that you have been talking to those little demons for a long time." โ
Zhangmu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just to negotiate with them, after all, the accommodation here is not cheap, it would be good if I could help you save some money." โ
The night was getting thicker and thicker, and the desert was not quiet at night, and there was the sound of a howling storm outside the house, and at the same time the storm was mixed with the roar of some wild beasts.
At this moment, the roe eyes saw that the fires in several rooms upstairs were extinguished, so he took advantage of the night to sneak out, and saw the people who conspired with him in an underground room of the inn.
At the same time, a sturdy demon clan walked out and stood in front of the roe eye, this demon was the cat demon who had been secretly in contact with the roe mu before.
Seeing the cat demon appear, the surrounding demon clans, including the roe mu, all lowered their heads and bowed, and the roe mu said: "My lord, Tie Tian and they have been tricked upstairs by me, and now the fire has been extinguished, and the subordinates think that these guys should have fallen asleep." โ
"Very good, that Tietian is left for me to deal with, and the others handed it over to my subordinates, you have done a good job, this is the reward promised to you. After saying that, the cat demon threw a bag of demon crystals to the roe eye, and the roe man hurriedly reached out and took it, but when the money bag arrived in his hand, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and it seemed to be much lighter.
"What's the matter, isn't this a good price?" asked Zhangmu strangely, the reward that the cat demon promised to give it before the start has now shrunk greatly, and this money is much less than Zhangmu imagined, originally Zhangmu still wanted to use this money to go away incognito, but now he even betrayed his master and only changed this demon crystal, and the anger in his heart suddenly burned.
"What's the matter, it's good to give you money, don't be too greedy, boy. The cat demon spoke.
The roe eye's face was gloomy, and he wanted to argue, but he also knew that it was useless to argue at this moment, so he could only bow his head and say, "Thank you for the reward." โ
