Chapter 52: The Mysterious Sanctuary
Under the blazing voice, the death Gobi was gradually left behind by the caravan and disappeared under the long yellow sand.
After experiencing the danger just now, the concentration of the young men in the caravan has improved to a certain extent, at least they have experienced this kind of big scene, and it is certain that their mental quality has reached a higher level. As long as I think that these twenty people were scared just now, but no one collapsed, they all gritted their teeth at their posts, and they could still attack with orders, which undoubtedly made Zhang Jianyang happy, and it was a group of materials that could be made.
It's just that the time has not come now, and Zhang Jianyang can't say anything to them.
Zhang Jianyang is familiar with this highway and knows that there is no need to worry about any danger in the next few tens of kilometers.
Every mutant beast, they have the concept of territory, just like the sand ant beast uses this Gobi as a territory, as long as the people and animals that break in, all of them are their food, and all of them are the objects of their extermination.
The Chinese food did not stop to eat, everyone was holding water and sitting on the cargo compartment to eat dry food.
With this kind of team, there is no hard work, you just need to sit on the cargo compartment and let the bull drag forward. As long as there are no accidents, in fact, the people on the team are very comfortable.
Chen Zhuangping had always taken the route from Shacheng to Dry Lake, which was also the safest and most popular route in Shacheng, and only a few were attacked by mutant beasts in a year. And more, it is still man-made, some illegal organizations, will attack caravans like robbers and loot them.
However, as the caravanserais' escort increased, there have been few reports of caravans being attacked in recent years.
After eating the dry food, the caravan only paused slightly, fed some water to the two brute oxen, and continued on its way. Chen Zhuangping looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time, his face reappeared anxious, and said: "There are still less than six hours before dark, and now I have only walked less than a hundred kilometers, the speed is faster, before dark, I should be able to reach the Tamu Basin." ”
Zhang Jianyang said beside him: "Don't look at the time, it is absolutely impossible to go to the Tamu Basin tonight, we can only stay in the wild at night." ”
Chen Zhuangping suddenly found that this mission was really not easy, and it would make people's hearts unbearable to bear this endless problem.
According to the plan, the wild bull will speed faster, the speed will reach about 40 kilometers per hour, and it will be able to reach the Tamu Basin in six or seven hours, but now Zhang Jianyang said that it is impossible to arrive, and he will have to stay overnight in the wild. God, is he crazy, the wild at night is a forbidden area for human beings, and staying overnight in the wild is something that Chen Zhuangping will never dare to think about.
"Why can't you get there?" Chen Zhuangping asked unrelentingly.
Zhang Jianyang said: "There are still about fifty kilometers left, and we will enter the territory of the sixth-order poisonous lizard, do you think we can resist the attack of the sixth-order mutant beast?" ”
The two words of the sixth order, like bullets, penetrated Chen Zhuangping's heart, making Chen Zhuangping's face change sharply, in the life of an ordinary person like Chen Zhuangping, maybe a high-level mutant beast is so far away. However, Zhang Jianyang's words brutally shattered Chen Zhuangping's ostrich-like psychology of ordinary people. If you don't think about it, don't know it, it doesn't mean that it won't exist, it's just that you choose too much to escape, so that you don't think that there are still high-level mutant beasts in this world.
The terrifying poisonous lizard, now Zhang Jianyang, who is only a 2-star person, even if he once stood at the peak, but so what, he doesn't dare to provoke the sixth-order poisonous lizard beast now.
Seeing Chen Zhuangping's pale face, Zhang Jianyang sighed and said, "Do you know that there is no way for us to reach the Tamu Basin tonight, because we will change direction more than thirty kilometers ahead and bypass the territory of the poisonous lizard beast." ”
Chen Zhuangping, whose heart had been greatly stimulated, smiled bitterly, he found that he was a little worried about something superfluous, Zhang Jianyang in front of him knew everything about this, and he didn't need to worry about anything.
Later, Chen Zhuangping looked forward to it, if he could successfully arrive at the Tamu Basin with the caravan and return to Shacheng with two full wagons of refined salt, what an honor would it be for a merchant with the surname of a merchant? Of course, these are not what Chen Zhuangping cares about the most, what he cares about is the huge bonus. As long as he gets the bonus, he can retire bravely, find a stable job in the sand city, or start a small business......
Compared with Chen Zhuangping, the players behind him are chatting happily with their partners, at least for now, it seems that this is a pleasant team.
Thirty kilometers later, the first fork in the road appeared, and under the command of Zhang Jianyang, the animal trainer drove the brute bull to steer and walked in the direction of the Tamu Basin.
This change, except for Chen Zhuangping, no one noticed it, and almost all of them went to the Tamu Basin for the first time.
Deviation from the direction means that the caravan's distance will be hundreds of kilometers longer, but Zhang Jianyang thinks it is worth it, the sixth-order poisonous lizard is not a group of reasonable guys, and it will swallow green poisonous mist all day long. As long as a person enters this area, he has not seen the appearance of a sixth-order poisonous lizard, and he has already been slightly poisoned by breathing.
It is not that Zhang Jianyang will not be able to configure a potion to resist the poisonous lizard toxin, but that the materials in his hand are limited, and the price of one of the herbs is too expensive, which is not what Zhang Jianyang has to consider now.
Bypassing the territory of the sixth-order poisonous lizard, this section of the road is not easy to walk, no one has walked for a long time, some of the road has cracks, some are even potholes, and from time to time some sections of the road are buried by thick sand. Faced with these situations, the caravan would stop and clear the road so that the cargo compartment could pass through.
It was getting dark, and for a few hours, the caravan had only traveled more than a hundred kilometers.
Chen Zhuangping looked at the endless sand dunes here, undulating like a monster lurking in the night, and he said anxiously: "We are camping in these places? ”
Zhang Jianyang smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course not, of course it's to find an absolutely safe place to camp, and let you see a tree that you have never seen or heard of." Don't look at this tree too much, if we want to survive this night safely, we must rely on this tree's protection. ”
Chen Zhuangping was incredulous: "We have to rely on a tree for shelter? I...... Did I hear me right? ”
"You'll find out then." Zhang Jianyang's face was full of playfulness, when he saw this tree for the first time, he was also shocked, the one that could make Zhang Jianyang also moved, could it be an ordinary tree? You must know that as long as there is such a tree, it can be called a shelter, and those who know how to use it can generously get the shelter of this tree.
The more mysterious Zhang Jianyang was, the more Chen Zhuangping was curious, what kind of tree would shelter the entire caravan.
As the sunlight disappeared from the sky, the horizon began to fall into darkness, and faintly, in the middle of the front, a faint blue halo appeared.
Zhang Jianyang laughed, pointed to the halo in the darkness, and said, "Look, where is our shelter." ”
Before seeing the shelter, most people would think it was a building, or a small town, or a village in the desert. However, people with this kind of thought, only when they get closer, will they know how outrageous they are wrong, and they will also be amazed and amazed at how such a magical scene can be in this world.
Yes, this is the mysterious shelter that Zhang Jianyang is going to.
