Chapter Fifty-Three: The Xerxes
The tea powder looked forward along Owo's hand.
On the sand dunes not far ahead, a special team was standing there, seemingly watching them.
It was a camel caravan, and each of the seven or eight camels carried two huge jars on their backs.
There were five men in the group, the leader leading the camel and the other four guarding him, each with a scimitar pinned to his waist.
The most striking thing is the scabbards of these scimitars, all of which are silver and glittering in the light of the sky.
Cha Mo's heart moved: "Could these be Xuexi people?" It doesn't seem to be as strange as it might be. ”
She stood up on the chariot, waved her hands at each other, and shouted: "We are here for peace!" ”
Owo was much more cautious than her: "Tea powder, I don't think the other party may have good intentions, you better be careful." ”
Cha Mo smiled and said: "Don't worry, just rely on a few of them, even if you make a move, don't want to take advantage of me." ”
She rolled out of the car and walked towards the group with her hands raised.
The other party saw that she was alone, and the leader also walked alone, and the two met at the foot of the sand dune.
"Hello, I'm a messenger from the 'Journey to the Underworld', and it's a pleasure to meet you." The end of the tea saluted him.
The other party also took off his hat and saluted back: "Distant guests, hello, my name is Brutus, and I am the patriarch of the third tribe in Zeta District. ”
His voice was a little strange, but the two sides spoke the same language.
"Hello Brutus, my name is Chamo." The two told each other their names.
Brutus looked at the face of the tea powder in the hood and said, "You are not from Hobruns, where are you from?" ”
Cha Mo nodded and said, "We are from the 'Journey to the Underworld', in the far north, where the 'Divine Sleeping House' is located. ”
"What are you looking for here?" Brutus didn't talk much nonsense and asked directly.
Cha Mo also replied frankly: "We are looking for the asphalt lake, which is your black lake, and we want to know the secrets of the black lake." ”
Brutus's face changed: "The Black Lake is the treasure of our Xerxes, you dare to covet our treasure?!" ”
His words were heard by the other four, who drew their scimitars and flanked them from the left and right.
In the distance, Ovo saw that these men were showing hostility, and immediately shook the handle, and the twin Gatling guns in the car were already aimed at them.
She raised her hands to calm Ovo for a moment, and then said to Brutus, "We're just interested in the Black Lagoon and want to know its secrets, not to take them away from you. ”
Brutus sneered, "What you said is just a lie, the Hobruns took away our Divine Fire, and now they want to take away our Divine Water, it's really wishful thinking." ”
Fire of God and Water of God, remember these two words: "We are not Hoblens, and we do not believe in their Vulcan Holy See, please do not compare us to them." ”
Brutus was stunned, he raised his hand and asked the other four to stop: "You say, you don't believe in the Vulcan Holy See?" You're not from Blaze City? ”
"We've dealt with Blaze City, but we're not from Hobruns, as I said, we're from the Underworld!" ”
"What a strange name, we haven't heard of it." After Brutus finished complaining, he looked the tea up and down: "But your identity is still very suspicious." ”
"If you really want to know the secrets of the Black Lake, then you must lay down all your weapons and be escorted to the New Lake District by us. ”
"Or, just stop there, go back the way you came, and never set foot in our desert again!"
Cha Mo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we're willing to go with you, and we don't have any weapons." ”
After Ovo stopped the chariot, he came to the side of Chamo: "Chamo, we follow them so honestly?" ”
Cha Mo replied, "Otherwise, will we run around in the desert like headless flies?" Aren't you happy that someone showed us the way for free? ”
Ovo smiled: "Indeed, there are two or three of them, where can they trap us, do they have to lure wolves into the house?" ”
Cha Mo rolled his eyes: "What kind of word are you, are the two of us villains?" ”
After checking that the two of them were not armed, Brutus had a little more affection for the tea powder: "Okay, you can follow us to the Xinhu District." ”
He looked back at the multi-legged chariot in the yellow sand: "Are your mounts left here and dying of thirst and starvation?" ”
Cha Mo smiled: "Don't worry, even if we die of thirst and starvation, it can't die." ”
Coming to the camel caravan, Ovo was very interested in the large jars that the camels were carrying, and she looked in: "What are these jars in?" ”
Brutus replied, "These are the waters of the gods, the waters of the Black Lake, which you are talking about. ”
Now even the tea powder was interested, and she tried to step on the stand on the camel's back and look into the large jar.
It was indeed some watery liquid, but when she tried to open the mask and take a closer look, a pungent smell almost washed her eyes away.
"Wow! This, what does this smell like?! Cha Mo quickly jumped down and put on the mask again.
Brutus laughed, "So you haven't smelled it all along?" I wonder how you can bear it. ”
"This is the special taste of divine water, and we are all used to it." He reached out and stirred it in the jar, and when he took it out, his hands were already wet.
Brutus seemed to be very kind to these liquids, even smearing them on himself.
……
Tang Hao looked at the Xuexi camel team on the screen and casually selected those big jars.
When the liquid in the jar is highlighted, its item properties are immediately revealed.
"These are...... Kerosene? Although the purity is not high, it is still combustible, and the so-called black lake is actually a lake formed by kerosene on the surface? Tang Hao felt a little incredible.
The base intelligence adjutant replied: "Kerosene is not flammable and volatile like gasoline, and it can indeed be mixed with asphalt to form a lake. ”
"In this way, there are indeed very rich oil and gas deposits under this area, and your goal, Your Excellency, Commander, should be very achievable."
Tang Hao nodded: "Very good, since this is the case, then our 'high-energy liquid gas' has also been settled." ”
"After the tea powder reported the coordinates back, I immediately asked Selena to confirm the location of the mineral deposit with 'high-dimensional projection scanning'."
"Then, our space engineering vehicles and transport teams can go!"
