Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Desert

After paying homage to Lua, Arei left the Lord's Mansion with the others, ready to immediately set out to find the Blade of Time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Since the Seal Mechanism had gone all the way east, they decided to search west along the road to save as much time as possible.

After a brief supply and scouting in the city, and with the information he already had, Yare quickly identified the first branch of the Dastan family, the Tamina tribe that lived in the Oasis of the Sinai Desert.

The Dastan family, which Beverly summed up all the bloodlines of Prince Dastan of Polis, does not actually exist. And the Tamina tribe, according to reliable intelligence, is likely to be descendants of Prince Dastan and his wife Tamina.

Due to its tenacious ability to thrive in the depths of the desert, it has always been suspected of possessing mysterious powers.

The black-haired knight hired two local translators, found a local fairy tavern, and placed an order with a cunning tooth fairy agent to rent a sand whale across the desert.

The sand whale is a goblin that only lives in the desert, with a silvery-white body, a flat head, and a body length of about 50 yards, which is close to an enlarged version of the ray, and has a very flexible body, which can swim the sand as if it were water.

His only interest is the bones of people or animals in the desert, and he also feeds on them, so he often hooks up with tooth fairies who eat children's teeth, and shares the experience of eating delicious bones.

Because both of these goblins only like to eat dead bones and don't like to make trouble, they are identified as good-natured goblins by the Empire. With greater freedom, not only can you open a tavern and be a profiteer, but you can also carry people across the desert to collect tolls.

After paying the money, Arei put away the token given to him by the tooth fairy, and went out of the city with water and food with the group, and followed the wooden signs on both sides of the road to the west.

He didn't worry about the other party taking the money to him, because the goblins were very disciplined, and when they took away the child's teeth hidden under the pillow, they often left a coin in exchange.

The climate and environment of the Canaan region are very suitable for human habitation, with high vegetation coverage, but the further west, the more serious the desertification of the land, and after walking more than 30 miles out of the city, the geological environment becomes the Gobi Desert.

When everyone came to the end of the road sign with the supplies on their backs, there was already an endless sea of golden sand, and the continuous yellow sand connected with the sky, which was simply a sea of sand.

The black-haired knight felt that the sand under his feet was almost enough, so he took out a slender bell from his pocket covered with a woven bag, which was a token given to him by the tooth fairy—it was said that the sand whale could hear its bell dozens of miles away.

He held it in his hand for a few minutes, and saw in the distance an oval-shaped silver carpet squeezing through the sea of sand, constantly spewing gray columns of smoke, gliding towards the location of everyone at a very fast speed.

Woo!

The sand whale rushed to the crowd with the yellow sand like the waves, making the surrounding sand all over the sky a mess, and after slowly spewing out a few plumes of smoke from the air holes at the upper end of its back, it raised its triangular flat head from the sand, and looked at them with dark green eyes:

"Welcome to the 233rd Sand Whale Ride, all visitors to the Oasis Land, please come on my back. For your personal safety, it is recommended to use a sitting or lying position when riding, and you will not be responsible for any falling along the way. If you have physiological needs, please pass in advance, don't throw garbage, urinate, don't play on my back, thank you for your cooperation.

If you have a cute snack or tip, I will provide an exclusive commentary service for the whole process, and you can get one free ride for 10 times in total, and there is a 5% discount on the purchase of an annual pass. ”

It didn't even need to change its breath, and a large number of smooth sentences poured out of its mouth, even if it was a racial advantage, most of it had the effect that practice makes perfect.

"Snacks for you, hurry up, I'm in a hurry. ”

Aree gave it a bag of broken bones that had been prepared long ago, and did not ask for additional services, nor was he tempted to buy a pit father's annual pass, but only asked the other party to go to the Oasis Land as soon as possible.

"You are such a kind and generous customer. ”

The sand whale happily bit through the bag, couldn't wait to swallow the bone into its mouth, chewed it, and waited for everyone to sit firmly on their backs, and with a sweep of their tails, they immediately soared on the desert.

......

The boundless yellow sand spreads across the boundless land, and the dead sand sea has only this one monotonous color, always a scorching yellow. The undulating folds of the yellow sand are like the angry waves emptied by the waves on the sea surface suddenly stopped, stagnant and solidified on this boundless hot land.

The sun shines on the sea of sand, flashing with dazzling golden light, whenever there is a hot wind sweeping across the desert, you can see golden sand waves surging forward, the originally solidified waves are rushing and whistling under the impetus of the air current, bringing up the wind and sand in the sky.

Everyone rode on the flat and rough back of the sand whale, and in addition to the sweaty heat and heat, it felt like they were on the Quincy riding the wind and waves.

Dozens of people sit scattered, chatting and drinking summer tea, many people here have never seen the desert in their lives, this time out of the public expense of travel, it can be regarded as seeing the world.

Yalei sat close to the sand whale blowhole, his back to the group, his eyes cast on the undulating sand sea in front of him, his face hidden under the calm appearance kept changing, and he could vaguely see patches of black scales appearing, and then quickly disappearing.

For him now, although the suffering of the demonic fire burning his body is difficult, it is just torture, and the irreversible demonization of the body is the most fatal thing.

Soul materialization does bring infinite spiritual power to the black-haired knight, but maintaining the state of human and god at all times is really amazing, and once it is consumed, it is more than replenishment......

He could already feel that the string of the limit had been tightened, and his strength was getting less and less.

The wind and sand gradually stopped, and in its place was a whirlwind, which rose from the desert one by one, rolling up the yellow sand so high that it was like a big smoke rising from the flat ground, and it was running on the desert.

It was close to noon when everyone landed, and there was a lot of delay in Shejian City, and it was already afternoon when they took the sand whale, and they had been driving on the road for several hours, and it was already dark.

When the sand whale saw the sun slipping below the horizon, he stopped at the sand and explained to everyone:

"It's getting dark, there are big sandstorms at night, and the temperature drops below freezing, so I have to hide underground to keep warm. But if you need it, I can dig you a cave to hide from the cold. ”

"No, we have desert tents. ”

The black-haired knight refused the other party's kindness, and immediately asked his men to set up camp, boiled some water in a traveling pot, washed off the dust, and lived in a tent.

It only takes them a day to cross the desert, and there is enough water to drink, but also to bathe in a simple way.
