Chapter 22: The Log
Among some indigenous tribes, there is an old legend that logs can make people mentally abnormal. People often interpret something unconventional as being bewitched by a log!
And in Ouyang Zhenxiong's dreams, there will often be logs with surnames!
"Ouyang Zhenxiong admits that he is a typical Tuareg man," Wu explained to Su Yu with a smile, "No one knows when and where the Tuareg people originated, but their uninhibited surnames clearly show that they are Tuaregs, they are themselves!"
They call themselves laissez-faire, they renounce any faith and wander only in the desert in search of a habitat suitable for themselves!
It can be said that if you want to find a familiar guide to travel through this golden desert, you must find Ouyang Zhenxiong! ”
With Liang Xue's consent, Wu took out a mobile phone and made a call.
When the phone was connected, a very handsome young man was displayed on the phone screen. He has a handsome face, and he looks no more than twenty or thirty years old, but he has long snow-white hair!
"Hey, Swallow, what's the matter with me looking for a handsome guy?" The man on the screen is holding two snow-white revolvers. The 12 mm caliber revolver, with a simple and solid barrel and a flashing blue muzzle, comes with a metallic texture.
"Where are you?" Wu asked. As you can see from the screen, the white-haired man is surrounded by a circle of griffons!
This is one of the more difficult beasts in the wilderness, and the average pedestrian will immediately avoid these things at a distance. Not for anything else, because of the strength and ferocity of the griffon, but also because it is a social animal.
If you mess with one griffon, you'll be surrounded by hundreds of griffons, and they'll rush up one after the other until they tear people to shreds.
But at this moment, around the white-haired man, there were more than a dozen griffons squatting!
On the ground, there are griffon corpses in the ground. The corpses were much the same. The cause of death is also surprisingly consistent, it is an extra bullet hole the size of a little finger on the forehead!
There were no other injuries on the griffon's body, so it can be judged that it was killed by a single shot. If there were other capable people here, they would definitely be surprised. Because the griffon's skull is so hard, a bullet wouldn't be able to cut through its fur, let alone penetrate its skull!
"Don't you see?" The white-haired man looked indifferent, "I met a group of griffons!" ”
"Don't be careful, don't fucking make griffon excrement!" Wu scolded with a smile.
The white-haired man chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said, "The griffin beast that dares to eat me has not been born yet, even if it is the griffin beast king, after eating me, it will vomit in the dark!" ”
"Less stinky! Hurry up and get these things out of the way, and I'll talk to you about business! Wu Dao.
"Okay!" The white-haired man answered, and suddenly raised his revolver and aimed it at the head of a griffon! The griffon crouched on the ground, shivering, but did not dare to flee.
The white-haired man sighed lightly, suddenly raised his arm to the sky, and slammed out a shot.
"Don't get out of here, handsome guy, I'm in a good mood today, I won't kill you!" The white-haired man shouted.
All the surviving griffons were suddenly frightened, clamped their tails, spread their hooves, and ran madly in all directions.
At this time, a wisp of light smoke floated out of the barrel, and the white-haired man brought the snow-white barrel of the revolver to his mouth, blew lightly, and said proudly: "Yanzi, let's say, what is the matter with me looking for a handsome guy?" ”
"Handsome guy, do you have any thoughts of going to the Lost Land?" Wu asked as he spat out a circle of smoke into the screen.
The white-haired man frowned and said, "How many times have I told you, don't smoke this kind of inferior cigarette, it's not good for your health!" ”
"What's wrong with bad quality cigarettes, I just like the taste!" Wu smiled, "What a handsome guy, are you interested in going to the Lost Land?" ”
The white-haired man stared at Wu for a few minutes and said, "Who are there this time?" ”
"I, Xiaoxue, you and Team Ou, and one more, Xiaoxue's boyfriend - Su Yu!"
"What?" The white-haired man was taken aback, "How can Liang Xue have a boyfriend?" ”
"It's up to you," Wu waved his hand and said, "Say, are you going or not?" ”
"Where to meet?" The white-haired man asked.
"We are waiting for you in the Golden Desert, you can contact Team Ou to come over together!"
"You didn't tell the European team?" The white-haired man said in surprise.
"No, you tell him. Tell him that if he doesn't come, there will be no chance of seeing each other! After saying this, Wu hung up the phone with a snap.
In the middle of the desert, a strange man was walking slowly, with a grim face and a fierce appearance, riding a tall black horse.
The man wore a long indigo robe that was wrapped from head to ankle. He wears a short knife at his waist, wears a veil on his face, and only his large, deep-set eyes are exposed.
The man has brown and dark skin, and on his neck and waist hangs large bronze keys, which are ring-shaped, rectangular, and other more complex figures, which collide with each other as he moves, making jingling sounds.
The man rode a black horse and walked in a ditch that had dried up, but gradually, the soil in the ditch began to become wet. The further you go, the wetter the land becomes.
At last the man came to a small stream, and on the edge of the stream grew clusters of lush papyrus.
The man told the horses to go to the stream to drink, but he did not dismount. After the horses had drunk the water, the man rode on his horse, and finally after two kilometers along the stream, the man came to the source of the stream.
Clear, cool spring water bubbles up and down the ground, creating a small paradise in the middle of the barren desert mountains. The man jumped off his horse, walked to the edge of the spring, picked up a handful of spring water with both hands, bowed his head and drank a few sips, and a smile and snow-white teeth appeared on his face.
After taking a sip of water, the man does not swallow it immediately, but just holds it in his mouth, allowing the moist water vapor to enter the body with the breath and moisturize the dry airways. Then swallow slowly.
Then, out of nowhere, the man took out one kettle after another and began to fill it with water, filling dozens of kettles before stopping.
At this time, the man took out a large water storage container and filled the container. The man put away all his tools, gently stroked the back of the horse's neck, and said with a smile: "Horse, in the next week, you won't have to worry about drinking water!" ”
Suddenly, a cell phone rings, shattering the silence.
The man had an extra mobile phone in his hand, and when he opened the screen, he saw a handsome white-haired man.
"Ah Fei?" The man's face was stunned and he asked lightly.
The white-haired man on the screen was unexpectedly a little restrained, he nodded, and then said tentatively: "Team Ou, Yanzi just looked for me?" ”
"Hehe, it doesn't seem like you need to report this matter to me!" Said the man known as Team Europe. Only those who are familiar with him know his real name - Ouyang Zhenxiong!
"Team Ou, Swallow wants to go to the Lost Land again?" Ah Fei said.
Ouyang Zhenxiong was silent, and the taciturn was Ouyang Zhenxiong's original surname. Only this time the silence was longer than ever.
After about ten minutes, Ouyang Zhenxiong began to speak: "If there is still that Dragon Emperor Demon God in the team, I will not participate!" ”
"This time, there is no such person!" Ah Fei said.
"Without the Dragon Emperor Demon God, there is no guide to the Lost Land, what the hell is Wu messing with?"
"Perhaps, the Dragon Emperor Demon God gave Wu the guide to the Lost Land?" Ah Fei asked.
"Impossible, with my understanding of the Dragon Emperor Demon God, he will never hand over that thing. Don't forget, what's in the Lost Lands! If the Dragon Emperor Demon God can't get those resources himself, he will definitely not let others get them! Ouyang Zhenxiong said calmly.
"European team, you are good at everything, you just think too much. Don't overthink it this time! The danger of the Lost Land, Swallow must understand, since she is willing to go out of the mountain again, she will definitely have some certainty! In addition, although there is no Dragon Emperor Demon God this time, there is another person! Ah Fei said.
"Who?"
"Liang Xue's boyfriend - Su Yu?"
"Liang Xue will also find a boyfriend? It's weird! Ouyang Zhenxiong whispered to himself, "And this person is also surnamed Su?" ”
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll go meet that Su Yu, and if it satisfies me, I'll stay. Otherwise, I'll leave too......"
By the time Ouyang Zhenxiong and Ah Fei were in the desert, the moon had already risen in the middle of the sky.
When Su Yu saw this strange Tuareg man, a feeling of sympathy suddenly rose in his heart.
This man is rude, but not rude; Careful, but not careful!
This feeling came for no reason, but it made Su Yu have a very good impression of this Ouyang Zhenxiong.
Su Yu, Liang Xue, and Wu stood outside the tent to greet the two. Ah Fei greeted him with a smile and was about to give Wu a hug, but was kicked away by Wu.
Neither of them was angry, they just laughed.
Compared with Ah Fei, Ouyang Zhenxiong is much more rigorous. He just smiled, showed his snow-white teeth, and said, "Hello two, meet again!" ”
For Su Yu, Ouyang Zhenxiong stretched out his hand. Su Yu didn't hesitate, and also stretched out his hand to shake it with him.
After taking a closer look at Su Yu, Ouyang Zhenxiong smiled and said, "Not bad, very good person!" ”
Su Yu also smiled back.
"Okay, what kind of body do the two men pull and pull into?" Ah Fei smiled on the side, "Team Ou, this is Xiaoxue's boyfriend, don't you want to snatch love?" ”
Ouyang Zhenxiong let go of Su Yu's hand, turned to Wu, and said, "Whose idea is it to go to the Lost Land this time?" ”
"It's mine!" Su Yu said.
"Do you have a guide to the Lost Lands?"
"Yes!"
"How?"
"Awarded by the training base!" Su Yu said.
Ouyang Zhenxiong glanced at Su Yu unexpectedly and said, "Since that's the case, I won't say anything more." I can join this expedition to the Lost Lands and promise to be your guide. However," Ouyang Zhenxiong changed the topic, "I have one condition!" ”
"You say?"
"This expedition is led by me, and everyone must listen to me before entering the Lost Land! Of course, after entering the Lost Land, life and death depend on the destiny of heaven! ”
Su Yu didn't speak, but looked at Liang Xue and Wu, and when he saw the two women nodding, Su Yu said, "I promise you!" ”
"Okay, rest for the night tonight and hit the road tomorrow!" Ouyang Zhenxiong said. Then, take out a huge tent from the space ring, lead your dark horse inside, and feed the horse night grass!
Wu and the others seemed to have long been accustomed to Ouyang Zhenxiong's behavior, and no one asked about it.
After a while, Ouyang Zhenxiong came out of the tent and said, "Let's talk about the next journey, Su Yu, right, can you show me the guide to the Lost Land?" ”
Su Yu smiled slightly and handed over the guide casually.
Ouyang Zhenxiong opened the guide, but only flipped two pages, and his face suddenly changed. He raised his head and looked at Su Yu, his eyes flickering slightly in the night: "You are very lucky, this guide in your hand is much more detailed than the one of the Dragon Emperor Demon God at the beginning." Not only are some important resource locations marked, but some dangerous areas are also marked! With it, we have a much greater certainty of entering the Lost Land. ”
Su Yu nodded slightly, motioning for Ouyang Zhenxiong to continue.
Ouyang Zhenxiong opened the guide, pointed to a place on one of the pages, and said, "The desert we are in now is the Golden Desert!" There's not much danger here. Tomorrow we will continue westward, a hundred miles and into the Scarlet Wilderness.
In the blood-colored wilderness, there will be all kinds of traps that can devour the school-level powerhouses, as well as fierce poisons. However, the people here are all strong generals and officials, and there is no difficulty in getting out of the bloody wilderness.
After passing through the blood-colored wilderness, we will come to a magical lake. If we're lucky, the Lake of Magic is dry and we can walk straight to it.
If we were unlucky, the lake was full of water and we had to paddle through.
After passing through the Lake of Magic, we will be very lucky if we can keep five people.
The Lake of Magic connects to the Hurricane Strait, where hurricanes blow all year round. If you are accidentally caught in it, the hurricane can even tear apart the major general-level powerhouse! Only a lieutenant general-level powerhouse can barely compete with the Hurricane.
So, be careful not to get entangled in a hurricane anyway.
Pass through the Hurricane Strait and you'll find Death Valley!
It's called the Valley of Death because when you get there, your abilities are compressed to the limit, almost no different from an ordinary person. And all kinds of beasts in the Valley of Death have the power to kill you.
Of course, there are also abundant resources in the Valley of Death, and if you are lucky, you may be able to pick up a technique that allows you to cultivate directly to the marshal level, or you can also pick a powerful prehistoric civilization weapon!
Death Valley is already on the edge of the Lost Lands! After walking through the Valley of Death, you are almost in the Lost Land!
However, at this time, you have to be careful, the outside temperature of the Lost Lands is cold enough to freeze the steel apart. So when the time comes, everyone should remember to keep warm!
After entering the Lost Land, I am no longer familiar with the situation inside, so when the time comes, I will take off my responsibility as the captain and discuss the path forward together according to this guide to the Lost Lands! ”
