Chapter 324 An Oasis in the Loess

Chu Jing and his entourage received supplies from the Holy Land Island, and did not stay for three days, or even one more day, and boarded the Blood Bones on the same day and sailed towards the distant Loess Island.

On the vast sea, after driving for seven days, or at the fastest speed, I finally saw the land from afar, yes, it is the land, although the loess island is called the island, but its area is quite large, larger than Baihe Island and Luolie Island, and it is the largest island overseas.

Of course, no matter how big the Loess Island is, it is still an island, and it is said that the first adventurers to land on the island once spent a lot of time circling the Loess Island and making nautical charts.

In fact, there is another reason why Loess Island is called an island instead of the mainland, that is, the island is too desolate, there is nothing, grain and other crops cannot be grown on this island at all, and there are no rare minerals, and no one wants to come to Loess Island, which makes the status of Loess Island drop to the extreme.

There are no permanent residents on Loess Island, there are no ships coming and going, and naturally there is no port, so the Bloody Bones does not need to be shy about it, and it is directly anchored on the coast.

Chu Jing flew down the Blood Skeleton and stood on the land of Loess Island, looking at the past, it was all boundless loess, and the sea breeze was blowing in the distance, and a burst of sand and dust was rolled up into the sky, like a yellow veil.

"This is Loess Island?"

The demon slave hunter leaned over and picked up a handful of loess, and said with some remembrance: "Yes, as its name suggests, there is only loess on this island. ”

"You've even been here?" Chu Jing said strangely, Loess Island was not a tourist attraction, at least now it seemed that they were the only ones on the island.

"Hehe, if you lived for hundreds of years and had nothing to do, you would have been to many places. ”

Chu Jing nodded in agreement, although he has not been in this world for a long time, he has also been to many places, not only the tasks released by the system, but also because he feels too bored, this world, except for the dogs and horses that are already extremely low in Chu Jing's opinion.

Sophia obviously didn't like the environment on this island, although it was already by the sea, but for some reason, the air here was extremely dry, and the humid sea breeze blew on the island, and it became very hot.

Her trident pointed into the air, only to see a basketball-sized water balloon condensed on the tip of the trident, she shook her head in disappointment, and said, "It's too dry here, we won't go further inside, right?"

"Well, since you're here, let's go and have a look, if you don't want to go, you can stay on the Blood Bone with Zhou Cang and wait for us to come back. ”

A lot of food and fresh water had been prepared on the ship, and Chu Jing's mustard seed bag had also prepared a lot of food and fresh water, and as far as preparation was concerned, they had done it sufficiently.

"No!" Sophia refused to stay on the ship, in fact, she was also very curious about this island, after all, this is the only island that humans cannot live on, and even those pirates who yearn for land are not willing to stay on Loess Island.

Lian squatted on the ground and put a small pinch of loess into a small bag.

"Lian, did you find anything?" Chu Jing asked.

"One thing, the lack of water on the loess island may just be one of the reasons why there are no plants to grow, and I feel some other substances in the loess that can be used as alchemical materials, and these substances may be the culprit. ”

Chu Jing nodded, "Maybe." ”

The geology of some places is true

It's really peculiar, and the magnetic field is weird, so it may be strange that there is no grass, but who made this another world, it's not such a big deal.

At this time, the demon slave hunter answered: "When it was discovered on Loess Island, many countries sent alchemists to this island, hoping to solve the problem of not being able to grow crops, and they even researched the use of seawater to extract fresh water for irrigation, but it was still unsuccessful, and those materials were also kept separately and not made public, but they obviously gave up this tempting idea. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Lian silently put the small bag full of loess into her arms, although she didn't think that she knew that she was definitely inferior to the alchemists of those countries, but she was not lacking in curiosity about things.

Chu Jing separated the XZ-Tank Cannon into X-Leader Ganon and Z-Metal Track, and came down from the Bloody Bone, as the most important combat power of Chu Jing in the future, they would not be left on the ship to waste their combat power.

The Z-metal tracks are about the same size as off-road vehicles, and although they are not intended for carrying people, they can also be used as a means of transportation.

Lian and Sophia, Bai Lan, and Xu Qian sat on the Z-metal track, while Chu Jing and the Demon Slave Hunter chose to fly in the air on the side, Chu Jing's flight is regarded as a black mage with a passive skill, basically no consumption, and the Demon Slave Hunter is powerful and doesn't care about the consumption of flight, of course, if it's really too far, he can directly fall on the X-Leader Ganon to rest.

Loess Island is relatively easy to walk on because there is a lot of loess, especially for vehicles like Z-metal tracks, if it is a normal horse, it will definitely not be able to bear it.

"Water, Chu Jing, give me another bucket of water. ”

Along the way, Sophia asked Chu Jing for several buckets of water, and the water here evaporated very quickly for some reason, but for people, there was no such feeling, at most it was a little hot, which was also very strange.

Although Sophia can control the water, it is not called out of thin air, but directly condensed from the air, after all, it was close to the sea before, the humidity of the air is very high, Sophia can even condense dozens of tons of water in a short time, but in the Loess Island, she has to ask Chu Jing, because the water in the air is even less than the evaporation.

Fortunately, Chu Jing had a partial understanding of Loess Island from Lotus before, and stored a lot in the mustard seed bag in advance, which is a self-contained space, and is naturally not afraid of the harsh environment outside.

At the speed of Z-metal tracks, I drove rapidly for a whole day, and the surrounding area was still the same loess, but the night of Loess Island was particularly empty and lonely because there were no tall trees to cover it.

set up camp tents on the spot, and Chu Jing and the others were not in a hurry.

Beside the campfire, the demon slave hunter sighed: "I have never been to this place on Loess Island, and probably no one else can get here, and the others do not have a pocket that can hold half a granary, nor do they have mounts that can fly quickly without eating and drinking. ”

The speed of the Z-metal track is about 100 kilometers per hour, and it has been driving for about ten hours, and now it is about 1,000 kilometers away from the seashore where the Bloody Bones are parked, that is, 2,000 miles away, which is already very deep, especially the loess island at a glance, and it is still loess at a glance for 2,000 miles, which is really incomprehensible.

"Tomorrow, if tomorrow is still yellow

If it's dirt, I think I can go back. Chu Jing thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Are you finally going back? I shouldn't have come to this kind of hellish place in the first place, there is nothing here, and the abyss under the sea is much more interesting than here. Sophia raised her hands in favor of the decision to return.

Chu Jing rolled his eyes, if it weren't for the fact that Sophia always asked for water to nourish his body, how could he decide to return tomorrow, it wasn't that the fresh water in the mustard seed bag was a little insufficient.

All day, after experiencing the baptism of wind and sand on Loess Island, everyone will soon rest, and there is no word for the night.

The next day, the group sat on the Z-metal track again and began to drive deeper into the Loess Island.

"Alas, the air is starting to get wet!"

Just when the sun was sinking in the west again and Chu Jing was about to return disappointed, Sophia suddenly exclaimed.

"What? is this different from other places?" asked Lian the first.

Sophia floated a small water balloon in her palm and said, "Yes, the air here is not so dry, it is even wetter than the seaside." ”

As a mermaid, Sophia is very sensitive to water, and Loess Island has always made her very unhappy before, but here, she feels more comfortable.

The demon slave hunter wondered, "How is it possible? Everywhere on Loess Island is a boundless yellow earth, how can it be different." ”

Chu Jing's sensitivity to air humidity is average, but he still perked up and said, "It's still a while before it gets dark, let's keep going, maybe there will be other discoveries." ”

As the Z-metal track continued to go deeper, Chu Jing and the others were shocked to find that there were sparse low shrubs on the loess, which seemed to show that the loess island was not really a barren land as the outside world legend suggested.

The deeper he went, the more surprised Chu Jing became, it seemed that the vegetation and air here changed with distance, and after the sparse shrubs were some drought-tolerant trees, and then there were the dense woods like ordinary islands, where Sophia could easily condense a large water ball.

Lian was very puzzled: "Where did the plants here come from, if Loess Island is surrounded by loess, and only the center is an oasis, then it is impossible for the seeds of these plants to cross four thousand miles to take root here." ”

Chu Jing was also puzzled, and as for the others, they were surprised, especially the demon slave hunters who had come to Loess Island.

He exclaimed: "Impossible, Loess Island can't be like this, those countries sent so many people, and they didn't even find out the truth about Loess Island, this is ......"

In fact, it is not to blame those adventurers who come to Loess Island, it is difficult for them to rely on their feet to cross 4,000 miles, and the road is full of loess, there is no direction, there is no supply, they must carry a lot of food and water by themselves, it is normal for them to not get here.

"Look, there's smoke there, maybe there's someone here. ”

Xu Qian suddenly pointed to the distant back of the forest, where there was faint smoke rising, and it was impossible to tell whether it was cooking smoke or rising mist.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”

Chu Jing immediately made the X-metal track move again, and he and the demon slave hunter flew in front, this is an unknown place, no one else has ever come, it has been recorded, maybe there will be danger.
