Chapter 191: The Wasteland
Old Hopps glanced around the crowd, his eyes dimmed, and he didn't seem to see the clue he wanted.
"At that time, there was indeed a very strange thing between the two caravans, that scene, tsk!" Hopps said and sighed, "I still don't say it, I have a headache when I say it." ”
Shen Chai almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this, you old man doesn't bring such a tricky person, you teased me so much that I took off half of my pants, and suddenly told me that I can't do it tonight?
How do you say this kind of appetizing words!
There's no way, the old man Hopps has said it, and it's a headache to mention it, but no one in the special meow let you mention it, okay, you mentioned it yourself and suddenly withered, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you're kidding everyone!
Hope silently took out his old cigarette gun, trembling slightly and loading the tobacco, but he couldn't find the flint, and the anxious old man's eyes were straight, so he could only smack the cigarette holder.
Shen Chai knew that once a person became addicted to smoking, he couldn't stop anything, and he was as uncomfortable as losing his soul.
Shen Chai snickered and glanced at the embarrassed look of the old man Hopps, and his heart blossomed, let your old driver tease us, this time the car turned off!
But Shen Chai was a "kind" person after all, and he only let the old man hold back his smoking addiction for three minutes before he spoke: "Grandpa Hopus, let me, a hairless magician, light a cigarette for you?"
As he spoke, Shen Chai's palm flashed, and a spark the size of a soybean fell accurately into Hopus's smoking pot, and the dry tobacco suddenly caught fire.
"Hmm!" old Hopps wrapped his cigarette holder around and puffed out two white smoke from his nose with a look of fascination, "Ah, yes, it seems that your little doll is still of some use!"
"Yes!" Shen Chai wiped his nose and stammered, "Now I know how powerful Master Ben is!"
"Uh-huh," Hopps happily agreed, "it's still useful for your fire magic to light a cigarette and make a fire!"
"I'm so ......" Shen Chai's face turned black directly, this old man obviously doesn't know the goods!
This set of fire control and drainage techniques is not good for technical work!
"Grandpa Hoppers," Blue scratched his head like a big stupid bear, "and if you say that, there won't be any danger in this wasteland?"
Blue is the caravan's guardian mage, and he needs to know as much as he can about the situation on the road so that he can make appropriate defense strategies.
"Well, I know!"
Hannah immediately rushed to speak when she heard this, and winked at Blue as she spoke: "The most dangerous thing in this wasteland is a beast called the scavenging wolf, this group of beasts eats carrion for a living, and is called the 'wasteland scavenger', but when they are extremely hungry, they will attack the passing caravans, and then bite the dead wildebeest and white camels!"
"Scavenger wolf," Shen Chai nodded when he heard this, he had also heard Karoff talk about this small beast.
"It is said that this beast is very small, not as tall as this wheel, and its speed is not fast, and this wasteland is as far as the eye can see, even if the scavengers come, we can see them from a distance, can we just bypass them?"
"Bypass?"
Hannah scoffed, "You only know that scavengers are slow, why don't you know that their eyes are in the sky?" ”
"Eyes in the sky?" everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and asked in unison, "What do you mean?"
Hannah smiled smugly, especially when she saw that Blue was also staring at her.
"The eyes of the scavengers are the one-eyed vultures, although they have only one eye, but they have extremely good eyesight, and they fly in the sky, so there are few creatures in this wasteland that can escape their eyes, and whenever the one-eyed vulture finds its prey, it will immediately report to the scavengers! ”
After hearing this, everyone looked up at the sky, and subconsciously searched for the figure of the one-eyed vulture, once it was targeted by this beast, it would be dangerous!
Although the individual strength of the scavengers is not strong, they are social beasts, and once they fall under their siege, even the first-order demonic beasts will also be bitten all over the body.
"Sister Hannah," Tang Shishi asked first, "Then we can't do anything about these scavengers?"
"Well," Hannah's face didn't show the slightest worry, "it's easy to say, because scavengers are nocturnal, so we just need to get out of this wasteland before dark!"
"And at the current rate, can we get out of the wasteland before dark?" Blue asked.
"Haha, don't worry!" Hannah chuckled, "Grandpa set off in time, so we'll be able to get out of the wasteland and reach the Black Swamp before dark." ”
Hopes stroked his beard and nodded proudly: "Yes, it must be all in my old man's calculations." ”
Whew! Everyone was secretly relieved when they heard this, they didn't want to face hungry wolves as soon as they left Saitu City.
While chatting about the situation on the wasteland, everyone hurried away, perhaps because they knew the existence of the scavengers, and everyone couldn't help but speed up their journey.
Sure enough, by evening, the surrounding scene began to change, and instead of yellow sand, the vegetation gradually became denser, but only low shrubs and grasses.
Everyone understood that this was the transition zone between the wasteland and the Black Swamp, and they were about to leave the wasteland and enter the Black Swamp.
Just when everyone was secretly relieved, a wolf howl suddenly pierced the sky!
"Whew!"
The howl of the wolf was so loud and clear in the wilderness that it was like a howl in the ears of the people!
Shen Chai and the others couldn't help but shiver, goosebumps rose, they hurriedly looked up, and saw a group of black dot-like creatures approaching them in the distance!
It's not fast, but there are a lot of them!
"Scavengers!" exclaimed Hannah alarmedly, "it's a scavenger!"
The crowd immediately panicked.
"Hannah!" Shen Chai asked with a wry smile, "Didn't you say that the scavenger is out of the night?
"This ...... Who can touch the mind of the monster!" Hannah said embarrassedly.
"It should be almost autumn, and the scavengers are going to give birth, so they have increased the length of time they hunt!"
Hoppers's cloudy eyes lit up, revealing a compelling light, and he immediately beckoned to everyone behind him: "Everyone hurry up, we are about to get out of the wasteland and reach the Black Swamp!"
"Let's go!"
