Chapter 12: The Super Magic War of the Anti-Penetration Bureau Agents 4
Canathan roared in the middle of the ring. The people in the stands also cheered wildly. Carnathan yelled, "There's no one else going to challenge Carnathan!" ”
The audience shouted in unison: "Canathan! Canathan! Canathan! ”
Carnathan called out in the middle of the ring. No one wanted to fight anymore, and Carnathan walked off the ring as a victor.
The tavern's junior gave Carnathan a small bag of money. Carnathan threw the bag back to Xiao Er. Carnathan said, "Buy all the wine!" ”
Carnathan walked out and was greeted warmly.
Several of the mercenaries saw that Carnathan had come with Wayne. So the leader of a mercenary group approached Wayne. Ask if you can rehire Carnathan to these mercenary groups. Wayne said no.
Seeing Wayne's resolute attitude, the leaders of these mercenary groups also left very self-consciously. After all, an orc as brave as Canathan would be well taken care of wherever he was.
However, there are also regimental commanders who do not give up. Find Canathan. Try to convince Carnathan to be able to work in his own regiment. All these people received was a shout from Carnathan: "I'm Carnathan!" I don't rent! ”
Wayne was originally going to be a guide to the Mercenary Tavern who was familiar with the desert terrain. Unexpectedly, the guide showed up on his own, so Wayne went to the tavern's quest release and canceled the quest. Of course, you also need to pay a penalty for canceling the task.
Wayne asked Kozmo a lot more about the desert. Several people left the mercenary tavern at the same time.
Kozmo was indeed very familiar with many things in the desert, and after leaving the tavern, he helped Wayne prepare many things for the road. The four of them returned to the inn, rested for the night, and set out into the desert at dawn the next day.
The desert is not as yellow sand as Wayne had imagined. Rather, it's a lot of gravel. Among the gravel, there are many low shrubs. It was just dawn, and there was not a single wind in the whole desert. Boundless rubble, completely lifeless.
The whole picture seems to stand still. Wayne sat on top of the reptilian bulge. On the other side is their luggage.
The sides behind the creeper's head are raised, and there is an angle between them and the creeper's body. Here you can lie down a person's position. You can also drop off a lot of luggage here.
Creepers are not slow to crawl. The abdomen has hard scales and smooth armor. Scratching over these gravels also reduces the overall weight. Although not as fast as a horse. But at least it's much faster than walking on foot or camel.
At this pace, it may be possible to enter Canterlot faster than Wayne expected.
Kozmo was at the head of the group, leading the entire reptilian group. Wayne is in the back. After that came Alyssa. Alyssa didn't wake up at this time, hiding in the grooves of the creeper's body, and seemed to be asleep again.
And Carnathan is in the back. Canathan's massive body couldn't fit into the creeper's groove, so he sat on the creeper's back. Creepers can also have saddles on their backs. Some resemble pergolas carried on elephants' backs.
Behind Carnathan, there were many reptiles carrying luggage, silently following behind. Reptiles are social animals, and the reptiles behind them will always follow the reptiles in front of them. Unless the creeper behind it is injured or killed, it will never be left behind.
According to Kozmo, this is the edge of the desert. In these stone areas, it is quite safe. Enter the yellow sand area in the middle of the desert, where the sand bandits are found.
And these bandits, usually, are not interested in treasure and goods or anything. These sand bandits are mainly food robbers and reptiles. Sometimes, when you encounter some hungry sand bandits, they will also snatch them away. And these people who are robbed will become food for the bandits.
Sand bandits are creatures that sit somewhere between sand and people. Previously, people had always been counted as elemental beings. It is a variant of the earth element. It wasn't until later that it was discovered that these sandmen were also meant to eat. And there is a complete digestive system, so it is classified as a humanoid.
These sandmen don't have a high IQ. It won't be planted, not even traded. Although it has its own language, it is still basically a relatively low-level humanoid. They basically make a living by hunting animals. Until recent decades, more and more caravans came to Canterlot to trade. The sand began to loot the caravan.
Wayne's group walked for three days before they got out of this gravel area. The gravel on the ground was gradually replaced by yellow sand.
In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is enormous. Everyone started walking in the morning. After the sun comes out, just walk for a while, and then start resting. The midday sun feels like it's baking people. So everyone had to huddle in the grooves of the reptilian beasts, hiding from the blazing sun.
At night, Kozmo put the reptiles head to tail in a circle. Cover it with a tarpaulin and it becomes a huge tent. There is a hole in the middle in which a flame can be lit. Remove the chill of the night.
Because there's Kozmo here. Therefore, in the past few days, Wayne and the others have not suffered any crimes. It's just that this vast stone desert is a little boring.
And when entering the yellow sandy area, the situation seems to be even worse. It is hotter during the day. And at night, it's even colder.
In the rocky area, you can still see some low plants sporadically. And here it is. You can't see any green at all. As far as the eye can see, there are patches of yellow sand.
Stone area, no wind. Wayne felt that everything was still. And here, the wind and sand blew on Wayne's face. I just feel painful.
Wind and sand take away a lot of moisture. Wayne felt that no matter how much he drank water, he could not alleviate his water shortage. Wayne only felt like his throat was burning. Before, on the road, everyone was still talking and laughing. And at this time, it feels like a torment to say anything.
Wayne could only hide in the creeper's grooves. Looking at Alyssa and Carnathan in the back, the two of them didn't seem to have a good time. Carnathan, in particular, had already taken off his iron armor. Unable to hide in the creeper's grooves, Carnathan was completely exposed to the sun.
I saw Canathan lying on the back of the reptile like a dead dog. The scale armor on the back of the reptilian beast was also scorched hot by the scorching sun. Like a pancake, Carnathan turns it over and pays it over. And so on and so forth.
And look at Kozmo, who is leading the team at the front. It seems like nothing is going on at all. Kozmo also doesn't sit on the reptile, but walks on the side of the reptile. Because Kozmo was short, he could just walk in the shadow of a reptie.
Along the way, I haven't seen Kozmo's tired look. All the times they stopped, they were asked to come down and move their bodies. Drink some water to rehydrate. Kozmo is like a camel traveling in the desert. It's as if you don't need to hydrate at all.
After three more days of walking, several people arrived at an oasis. It's just a small source of water. There are no villages here. Just a resting place for travelers-by.
Carnathan plunged headlong into the water, as if he never wanted to come out again. After sailing in the desert for a few days, Wayne felt extremely kind when he saw such a water source, and he also plunged into the water, as if he wanted to drink all the water in this pool.
Alyssa wasn't like these two guys. However, Elisa, who has always loved cleanliness, has not taken a bath for the past few days, and it seems that she can't stand it. Washing his face and arms at the water's edge.
Several people decided to set up camp here. Although it was still early, Kozmo didn't have any opinion on being able to camp next to the water source.
Several people pulled up the fence and let Alyssa take a shower first. When Alyssa finished bathing, Wayne and Carnathan both jumped into the pool and took a pleasant bath.
In the evening, Kozmo stewed a pot of broth for everyone. Because in the desert, in addition to eating jerky, several people eat barbecue. I also brought some vegetables, but they were also some vegetables that could be easily stored. These vegetables are also roasted.
Everyone was full of praise for Kozmo's cooking. Being able to eat a bowl of broth beautifully is definitely a dream in the desert.
Eating the broth, Wayne and Carnathan also took out their wine and drank it. Kozmo also had a decent amount of alcohol and had a few drinks with Wayne and Carnathan.
While drinking, Kozmo sang the song of the orcs. This song seems to speak of the prophet of the orcs, leading the orcs in the struggle against all kinds of beasts. The valiant orcs eventually gained the approval of the beast god. Finally, be able to control all kinds of beasts.
Along the way, Wayne also saw that Kozmo did have the ability to crawl with the ** stream. If it was necessary to turn, Kozmo simply gently put his hand on the reptile, and the lead creeper could understand what Kozmo meant.
According to Kozmo, this is the skill of his clan. Each orc tribe will have different abilities. And the Kozmo clan is able to communicate with animals. So, for Kozmo, these reptiles are his friends. So, Kozmo will not ride on the head of a friend.
Wayne asked if he would mind if they were riding on the Creeper. And Kozmo said with a smile, for Wayne and these people. Reptiles are meant to be vehicles. This is not a conflict. Wayne was relieved.
At night, everyone slept well. Early the next morning. The group hit the road again. After this night's recuperation, the air next to the oasis is much wetter. Wayne finally felt his throat hurt less.
After walking for a short time, Kozmo stopped. Wayne thought Kozmo was going to fix it. He saw Kozmo raise the telescope on his chest and look into the distance. Kozmo seems to have discovered something.
Wayne only heard Kozmo shouting, "Sandman! It's a sandman! Don't act rashly, everyone! I'll try to communicate with them! ”
