This time, the people of the "Blue Worm" came mainly for an important resource.

A few days ago, the people of the blue worm and the sand snake took a fancy to a place at the same time, and it was the stronghold of another sand bandit, there was a hidden underground pool, although they could not see anything on the ground, but they got the news that there was a dungeon built by a slave owner in private.

Many slave owners like to build underground palaces, but there are not many suitable places to build underground palaces in the desert, so there are few underground palaces. And after the slave owner established the dungeon, he found that water began to seep somewhere in the dungeon, and finally found that there was an underground spring pool there!

Although the underground spring pool was not large, it was already a valuable resource in such an extremely water-scarce place, after all, not every underground palace could encounter such a thing.

It was undoubtedly a surprise to encounter such a thing, but at that time, the slave owner did not make a noise, but executed all the slaves who found the spring pool, only kept the secret for himself, and even sealed the underground palace as a hidden wealth of his own. Later, due to the change of the situation in the desert, the slave owner fled to the underground palace with his people, intending to use it as a temporary base to develop his own power, but his slaves rebelled, and one of the slaves broke through the shackles and broke out of his control.

The slave owner was killed, and the dungeon was robbed by the slave who broke through the shackles, and some escaped slaves were collected, and finally developed into a sand thief force - "Tianshui".

The word "Tianshui" is another name for rain by people in the desert, so when everyone heard the name "Tianshui", they didn't think too much, and the people's desire for rain in the desert is well known, and the sand pirate organization took such a name. It's not surprising.

However, many people don't know that they actually wanted to take the "earth spring", because the spring pool under the underground palace is their source of life and their hope. However, that way. It's too straightforward, others can guess what is down here, and they are not so stupid, so they took the word "heaven", which is the opposite of "earth".

The power of "Tianshui" has also developed rapidly, but the secret has not been kept for too long, and the sand thieves who have gathered together are not so united, even if it is a secret that only a few leaders of Tianshui know, because of an internal strife. And it is known to everyone. So slowly, it was learned by other sand piracy groups through some means.

"Blue Worm" and "Sand Snake" are just two of them, and there are more people who have the idea of fighting there, Heisha has found Yiken not long ago, in order to cooperate to take the matter of Tianshui Digong, if a single party goes to snatch it, even if it can take the underground palace, it won't be able to hold it for long. The bloody battles between the sand pirate groups were full of casualties. It's too expensive, it's not cost-effective, and it might even give others a chance to take advantage of it.

After thinking about it, Yi Ken decided to give it a try, the place where they lived before was no longer suitable, and the spring pool there was shrinking. The near future is likely to disappear, and the Blue Worm is now growing, and as the leader, Yi Ken must think about the future, and his ambitions don't stop there.

So. Yiken brought people over to negotiate with Heisha this time, the trust between the sand pirate groups is not high, if you want to cooperate, you must first negotiate how to distribute, and if you can't talk about cooperation, you don't need to start.

The two sand thief leaders walked into a stone house made of sand and stone, this is the center of this small city, and it is also the most "luxurious" house in this small city, many of the houses in other parts of the city are houses made of sand and soil, even if they are made of sand and stone, there are not many stones, but here, stone is indeed the main building material, it looks much stronger and taller than other houses, and only the leader of the sand bandit gang can live here.

Although it is far inferior to the slave owners, Heisha is still very satisfied with being able to have his own "mansion", and believes that he can build more luxurious palaces in the future, just like those slave owners in the past.

Hei Sha led Yi Ken into the house, the two leaders discussed, the others did not go in, there were some secrets involved, they didn't want others to know, with the experience of "Tianshui", even if it was a gang of people, they couldn't fully believe it, so Hei Sha proposed that only the two leaders of them talk secretly, and the others were waiting outside.

In this regard, Yiken did not object.

However, after entering the house, to Yiken's surprise, Heisha did not immediately mention the matter of cooperation, but talked about another thing.

"A few days ago, we added a new person to the sand snake. Heisha said.

Yi Ken looked at the black sand, waiting for his words. It's not uncommon for newcomers to be added to sand bandit gangs, but there must be a reason why Black Saud wants to bring it up.

"He's from there. Heisha said and pointed in a direction, and Yi Ken understood. It seems that the newcomers have come from the other side of the sea.

Their sand thieves like to rob people who come from the other side of the sea, one is because the other tribes basically don't set foot in the desert, and only people from the other side of the sea will come. Second, the people on the other side of the sea always carried a lot of strange things, such as gold, more elaborate clothing, and so on, and they liked to rob these people.

"The new joiner, in order to seek refuge, he gave me this as a sign of sincerity. Black Sand pulled out a golden sword from behind the stone chair, and there were some words on the sword that they couldn't read, but that didn't stop them from appreciating the lines, which were carved on the sword, and looked mysterious, making it more and more valuable and rare.

Black Sand swirled the hilt of his sword, his eyes swept to Yi Ken's side, and then he slammed his grip on the hilt and slashed downward.

The swift blade sliced through the air and screeched, then slashed at a nearby stone.

With a crisp sound, the stone the size of a human head broke open and split in half.

Yi Ken's pupils shrank suddenly, his whole body tensed, he knew that Heisha was showing off and deterring.

A good weapon is also a great help, those of them who used to be slaves and later broke through the shackles, their current strength is actually not far behind, otherwise they would not be multi-legged instead of being directly annexed. The weapons they use on a daily basis are completely incomparable to this sword.

The two people, who were originally evenly matched, began to tilt towards one side because of this sword.

However, after Heisha slashed this sword, he inserted the sword back into the chair, his purpose had been achieved, and he believed that the next negotiations would be easier. He didn't plan to attack the Blue Worm's people directly, he didn't have absolute confidence that he would be able to kill Yi Ken, even if he had this "Divine Sword" in his hand, and if he wanted to take down the underground palace of "Tianshui", he also needed to cooperate with the "Blue Worm" people, and the purpose of deterrence just now was just to get more benefits in the negotiations.

And while the leaders of these two major sand pirate organizations were secretly negotiating cooperation, another place in the small city was where the prisoners were held.

Inside the low sand house, there are some people. These people were either captured in the battle or robbed, and the people who were locked up here are also divided into several types, one is the person who has an important role, who is temporarily locked up here first, waiting for the follow-up decision of the leader, such as the five people who were just captured yesterday.

Others, who are of little other use, are kept here and do not get food, at most just some water mixed with mud and sand to ensure that they do not die immediately, but these people will not be kept here for long, they will soon be taken out, and then they will become food for the sand thieves.

There is little to eat in the desert, and people have become food. For slaves, irrelevant people are no different from other beasts, so eating them when they are hungry is not psychologically stressful, and even of course, it is common for sand pirates.

A man with a sand snake who was guarding there sat in a shady place, away from the sun, yawning, and from time to time glancing around to listen to the movements of the people in the house.

After another yawn, the man felt as if something was moving under his feet.

They were accustomed to the fact that there were small beasts that were often burrowing in the desert, so the man calmly removed his foot and took out his dagger, intending to see what was down there, and that he could eat it.

Something under the sand was getting closer and closer, and the man raised the dagger in his hand, waiting for the time to stab down.

However, the thing under the sand, as if sensing the danger on the ground, turned around and passed to the other side just as it was about to climb out of the sand.

Not wanting to give up the possible food in front of him, the man got up and chased after him, anyway, there were other people guarding here, and it was okay for him to leave for a while.

After the man left, the sand on the sand bulged, and a dozen black beetles one palm long burrowed out of the ground, and after them, Shao Xuan pushed away the sand and drilled out from under the sand. (To be continued.) )
