CHAPTER XVI

Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The fierce sun of the desert at noon shone on his face, although it caused physical discomfort, but the Quercus Psychology was enjoying this moment very much at this time.

In addition to ecstasy, the most thought in my heart at the moment is that I must go back and practice swimming, and the joy is overflowing.

Swimming to the shore in a bulky posture, he fell headlong on the hot sand exposed to the sun, and suddenly felt that his body was wrapped in extremely warm things, and the body temperature taken away by the river before was slowly recovering.

Just out of danger, the high tension slowly dissipated, and the muscle pain that was forced to be suppressed by the will found the oak forest again, plus the tree forest just floated too fast, the pressure in the body was extremely changeable, and the blood flow was blocked, and at this time, he could no longer control the movement of his arm.

He just lay on the sand until the sun was almost setting in the west, he barely regained a little control of his limbs, and at this time, the muscles of his body were filled with a tingling sensation like a long-term squatting in a numb recovery, like thousands of tiny needles piercing himself at the same time, painful and itchy, very tormenting,

Enduring the strong discomfort, he struggled to support his body, climbed to the edge of a bush, leaned against a medium-sized stone and looked around.

This is a desert oasis that the oak forest does not know, the overall area is not small, the overall vegetation is rich, the solidification effect on the sand is very good, and the water level also belongs to the species that will not dry up, and it is difficult to find water sources in the desert, this type of oasis should be regarded as a permanent coordinate point to provide a resting place and a supplement to the water source for the traveling caravans.

The Alma caravan that Quercus followed before would pass through a desert oasis to replenish water, but it was obviously not the place in front of him, and he had been walking underground for a long time after being swallowed by the Sandworm Queen, and he didn't know how much he had deviated from the original route at this time.

Quercus Forest will definitely not risk crossing the desert alone, there is no trace of human activity around, but he is not too worried, after all, such a natural water source may not attract the attention of the caravan that crosses the desert all year round, it should have been marked as a coordinate point a long time ago, but I don't know when the next group of people will come, after all, the world is not peaceful now, and there will definitely be some impressions of business travel,

Fortunately, this treasure land is rich in products, and there is no need to be afraid that you will starve to death here.

Due to the injuries on his body, he rested there until the next day until the sun completely reached the top, and finally recovered to the point where he could barely move.

After eating only one fish for nearly three days, the strong feeling of fasting prompted Quercus to take action to provide the energy needed for his life.

I collected some dead leaves and wood around, crushed the dead leaves to act as a fire, and found two handy branches to make a fire in the most primitive way of drilling wood.

The grass carp in the water of this oasis because there are no natural enemies on weekdays, and they live freely, but at this time they have lost their due vigilance, and the oak forest did not take much effort to catch two, put them on wooden sticks and insert them by the fire to become a delicacy.

When collecting burning materials before, the oak forest also found a berry with little water in this low shrub, and saw that the birds that inhabited it around took this berry as food, and thought it should not be poisonous, so he also collected some.

Of course, he also coveted which birds looked extremely fat, but they were much more flexible than those clumsy fish, plus the physical strength and physical condition of the tree forest at this time basically reached the lowest point, tried it, and found that there was no possibility of catching it with bare hands, so he didn't waste time on them,

The picked berries are stuffed in the processed fish belly and roasted together, the unique and refreshing fragrance of this berry completely erases the fishy smell of the fish itself, and the oak forest can't help but take a big bite, although there is no seasoning, but the incomparably delicious taste fills the mouth, so that the tree forest seems to feel the true meaning of life at once,

The wind and clouds are whirling, and the two fish are in their stomachs, and they don't seem to be enjoying much, and they have just filled their stomachs, but Quercus has a way to feed himself now, and the rest is to wait for the arrival of caravans or travelers.

For the next few days, the oak forest repeated the monotonous life, hunting for food, wetting the wood to produce a lot of smoke as a distress signal, and fighting with these birds.

Such days did not end until sunrise on the third day, when the tree was preparing to climb a large tree where a waterfowl had nested with a homemade tool, and he was almost killed as a savage by the caravan advance party that came to fetch water, but fortunately it did not cause any tragedy.

After inquiry, I learned that this group of caravans set off from Ammon to Alma, and the leaders of the two city-states made almost the same judgment at the critical moment, and this oasis is about nine days away from Alma City, which was originally an alternative route, but because the caravan encountered a sandstorm a few days ago and was forced to change the route, I have to say that the forest is extremely lucky,

At this time, he could not catch up with his caravan to complete the mission, and Zarin did not bother and decided to return to Alma with Ammon's caravan first.

Upon learning that Quercus was Alma's steam master, the leader of Ammon's caravan immediately agreed to his request.

Next, the Quercus received a new set of clothes, the caravan set off, and the journey went smoothly, and finally, on the night of the eighth day, Alma's huge wall appeared far away on the horizon,

Alma closed the gates of the city at night and did not allow anyone to enter, and Ammon's caravan was stationed outside the city walls, ready to send envoys to the city early the next morning to discuss various matters, and the Quercus did not bother, and said goodbye to the leader of Ammon's caravan, and returned to his quarters.

Open the door, because no one has lived in it for nearly a month, and a lot of dust has been stirred up, Quercus has never felt so kind to this hut full of oil and all kinds of broken mechanical parts as it is now, put hot water, soak the whole body in it, feel surrounded by warmth, consciousness and fatigue are slowly taken away,

After opening his eyes once, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and he hadn't rested so well for a long time, and he felt comfortable with his waist and felt comfortable, and the fatigue of many days was swept away in an instant.

After getting dressed and preparing to go to the city, Zha Lin must report the encounter of the caravan to the department directly under the above at this time, so as to deal with the possible situation as soon as possible.

Today, the chief guard of the city gate guard is an acquaintance of Zhulin, who learned that Zhulin was set off with the caravan, and now he himself came back first, expressing his surprise, and Zhulin did not stop Zhulin after he said the reason, and opened a green channel for Zhulin to enter the city first to report the situation.

"Hey, that's right, Brother Quercha"

As soon as Quercus took three steps, he was stopped by the chief of the guard,

"A lot of things happened after you left, now the city is really not peaceful, half a month ago the lord's mansion heard that it was attacked by a cult organization, and the lord's mansion was blown up, I heard that there were several attackers, and all of them ran away at that time and didn't catch a single one, and now the wanted warrants are almost full of the city, now the lord is really angry, these days the guards of the lord's mansion will be arrested, none of them have been released, a few days ago a few cultists were publicly executed, those guards are different from our city defense army, we are the imperial army, they are the lord's private army, they are all ruthless lords, now the people in the city are panicking, you should also pay more attention”
