Chapter 62: Sandworms
Susie said lightly: "From the information we know, the living habits of the Xerxes are indeed very different from those of Hobruns. ”
"However, we heard that a hundred years ago, when the light first dawned, the Xerxes also lived in the 'Flame' City."
"It's just that they were driven out because they didn't want to believe in your god of fire."
General Krubouen snorted: "A bunch of nonsense, they're lying!" Miss Susie, you can't take their word for it. ”
Susie nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed the word of the Xerxes, but you Hobruns are also the same side. ”
"It's because the statements of both sides are very different, so we can't be sure which side of you is telling the truth, or whether both sides are telling lies."
General Krubourn's face was very bad: "Miss Susie, may I ask what is the purpose of your saying this?" ”
Susie finally put down the glass, she crossed her hands on her lap and said, "Mr. Krubouen, the purpose of our 'Journey to the Underworld', as you know, is the goal we pursue, peace and development. ”
"So we are willing to coexist peacefully with the Hobrance Country, and we are also willing to give up some resources to help the Hoblens Country make progress together."
"However, now the contradictions between the Xerxes and the Hobruns may erupt at any time, and the result of this is something we do not want to see."
"Therefore, the 'Journey to the Underworld' is willing to mediate for the Xerxes and the Hobrands Kingdom, so that everyone can consider how to build a peaceful environment together."
"But the problem now is that it seems very difficult for Xerxes and you Hoblens to come to a consensus."
"The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, hehe, the history of both of you can't stand up to scrutiny......"
Her voice grew colder and colder, and she seemed to show a sharp knife: "We are very dissatisfied with the status quo of both of you. ”
"If Xerxes and Hobruns are unable to make peace, then the Journey to the Dead will consider another way to achieve our goal."
"But that result, compared to you, and King Hobruns and the Vulcan Holy See don't want to see."
General Kruboun looked at Susie with some surprise, he and Susie had been fighting for several days, and this was the first time he had seen such a murderous aura emanating from this girl.
Her words were not just verbal threats, but the effectiveness of the "Journey to the Underworld" was obvious to all, and King Hobrights even did not hesitate to cede land to maintain a semblance of peace.
General Krubouen was silent for a moment, and then said to Susie: "I don't have enough authority to make any promises to you about this matter. ”
Susie nodded: "I know, so please also unify your voice with King Hobrance and the Vulcan Holy See." ”
"The ore refinery of the Xerxes will not be around for long, and likewise, the possible invasion of the Xerxes will not wait long."
"You're short on time, I hope you can come up with a plan as soon as possible."
"We will contact the Xerxies to understand their demands, and then we will find a place to sit down and have a good talk, and talk about our ideas."
Susie stood up: "We hope that Hobrightens and Xerxes can coexist peacefully, and this is the greatest benefit for us. ”
"Of course, if neither Xerxes nor you are willing to accept peace with each other, then our 'trip to the underworld' will show you what real peace can be made of."
……
After another day of wind and sand, Cha Mo and Owo's camel team finally arrived at the Black Lake of the Brutus tribe.
A few hundred meters away, Chamo saw the dark lake in the distance at the top of the dune.
Black Lagoon, as it is, lives up to its name.
Cha Mo was about to drive the multi-legged chariot on, but saw the camel caravan in front of him stop.
She stepped forward and asked, "Brutus, didn't you say it's almost there?" How did it stop? ”
Brutu motioned for her not to make a sound, and everyone looked directly at the sand at the bottom of the dune, where the sand shook like waves.
"That's?" Owo leaned over and asked softly.
Brutus did not answer, but beckoned to four companions, who, together, unloaded some steel parts from the camel.
Soon, they assembled a large crossbow from these parts, the arm of the crossbow was pulled apart, and a wrist-thick crossbow arrow was also mounted, and a long rope was tied to the back of the crossbow arrow, which looked like a harpoon.
Then everyone held their breath and continued to stare at the sand at the bottom of the dune.
Soon, the end of the tea saw that the sand was gradually rising as if it had been squeezed by something, forming a small sand dune.
Then, at the top of the small dune, the sand fell, and a strange-looking mouthpiece poked out of the sand.
Just as the mouthpiece was about to breathe air, Brutus had already aimed his crossbow at it and pressed the trigger at the same time.
"Whew!" The bolts flew towards the target at great speed, and with a "poof" they plunged into the sand.
The bottom of the dunes was suddenly in chaos, and even the ropes on the crossbow arrows were whining.
Brutus personally controlled the winch, like fishing, and after almost half an hour of playing, finally, the other end of the rope was silent.
When everyone pulled the rope up with a winch, Cha Mo saw clearly what the crossbow arrow hit.
It was a large insect twenty or thirty meters long, about the thickness of an adult's waist.
This is the sandworm that Brutus keeps talking about.
Such a large bug, estimated to weigh thousands of kilograms, is indeed a heavy prey for Brutus.
After calculating the sandworm with a rope and letting the camel team drag it aboard, Brutus hummed a little tune with great joy and beckoned his companions to embark on the journey home.
"Miss Chamo, didn't scare you, did you?" Brutus said to the tea end in the car: "Sandworms are usually found near the Black Lake, which makes it very easy for us to hunt sandworms. ”
"One sandworm is enough for our whole clan to eat and drink for a month." He tapped the skin of the sandworm: "As long as you cut through here, it will be full of clean water, and there is also delicious sandworm meat, you can feast on it today." ”
"I don't know why there are so many sandworms living next to the Black Lake, we all think it's a blessing from the true God for us."
He folded his hands in front of his chest again, then bowed his head and prayed reverently.
