He Lingchuan said in his heart, you want to go to the ruins of Panlong, and you pretend to ask me what to do? He looked serious: "We have been to the ruins of Panlong, which is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and it is not suitable to approach." Daddy, we'll be able to figure out the direction after sunrise, so let's go back to the city. ”

He was so crisp, He Chunhua was stunned.

The general on the side immediately said: "Look at this sky is overcast, and I don't know when the sun will come out." Waiting in the desert all the time is not an option. The priority is to find a source of water. ”

They pursued the enemy in a hurry, and did not bring much food and water. The night passed, and the men and horses were very thirsty.

It's okay if you don't have food, but you can't do without water.

Zhao Qinghe reminded loudly: "Travelers who have been to the desert recently mentioned that there is an oasis near the ruins of Panlong. Let's go over and get some water to drink. ”

He Chunhua nodded: "Go straight to the water source." ”

As soon as he gave the order, the Blackwater City army headed in the direction of the red light, and most of the people had no objections, only a few complaints.

Anyway, you can't find your way in the desert, so it's better to go straight to the place where there is water first.

This time, Tiangong and other forces are walking with the Blackwater City Army again.

Zhang Lianhai and others were not very happy. They want to go to the Panlong Ruins to explore the truth, if there is really any treasure there in the world, how many people are there on their side, although the Blackwater City army has divided its troops all the way, there are still three hundred people, it is strange if they don't rely on the strength of the crowd to rob it.

But the desert is so big, they can't stop people from passing.

The red light looked conspicuous, but I don't know how far away. He Chunhua roughly estimated that there would be at least a few tens of miles away.

Two hours later, the red light closed and dissipated again between heaven and earth.

It was bright at this time, but the sun still hadn't come out. The disadvantage is that the whole army still can't find a direction, but the advantage is that the weather is not so hot, and the men and horses can barely advance.

In this way, until the end of the hour (nearly 3 o'clock in the afternoon), the people were tired, and the soldiers' mouths were cracked, and they did not even have the strength to complain.

Everyone was dissatisfied, but no one dared to leave the team on their own.

Walking alone in the unpredictable desert is the rhythm of death.

Even the Heavenly Palace and the Baling people didn't want to go out to explore the way by themselves.

At this time, the falcon flew down and reported the bombshell news:

The oasis is just three miles ahead!

With this exciting good news, everyone suddenly had the energy again and hurried forward.

When you say three miles, it means three miles.

Turning over the low hills, the smell of water vapor wafts into your face. Clumps of grass and even dwarf shrubs began to pull ahead.

There are plants, although they are still sparse.

Then they saw the oasis, an oasis in the yellow sand.

It is located very low, right behind two semi-circular huge sand dunes. Even on a sunny day, it can only be found at noon.

It is a large area of three small lakes connected by clear water, green edges, and birds roaming leisurely.

This is a strange sight that most people in Blackwater have never seen before!

This is the Panlong Desert, a place of retribution that once rained hard.

As soon as everyone walked over, they felt that the temperature had plummeted by at least ten degrees, and they were surrounded by the coolness they had not seen for a long time.

The soldiers did not have time to be amazed, and with a cheer, they led their mounts and rushed into the oasis.

But He Chunhua ordered to stop: "What's the hurry, test it first!" ”

Even if there is an oasis in the desert, the water quality is not necessarily suitable for human consumption.

The soldiers behind He Chunhua rushed to the water's edge first, took a small bowl out to scoop water, and then took a lotus seed and threw it into the bowl.

This pro-soldier, He Lingchuan also recognized, seems to be called Hu Xuan. A year and a half ago in Xinhuang Town, Xiazhou, he decisively used five years of life to open the ghost eye bow for He Chunhua, and shot and injured Dong Rui's ghost ape, and He Chunhua accepted him as a personal soldier on the spot.

It seems that he is now General He's henchman.

That's right. What the leader is unwilling to do, can't do, and dare not do, if you do it for him, you may rise to prominence.

Hu Xuan seized the opportunity.

In front of everyone's eyes, the seeds germinated, grew leaves, and flowered, and it was actually a small bowl lotus, with twelve petals inside and outside.

The flowers that come out are watery red and very tender.

Only then did the soldiers say to He Chunhua: "My lord, you can drink it." ”

This plant is called the lotus lotus, and the lotus seeds can be stored for 20 years in a major drought, and they will grow when exposed to water. Its color will change according to the water quality, if it is water red, it can be drunk by humans and animals; If it's blue or purple, it's best not to touch it; If it's black, tsk, it's a sign that the water is poisonous.

Dry heart lotus seeds are best used to test water quality when marching and traveling long distances, and He Lingchuan also has them.

Without waiting for He Chunhua's order, the Blackwater City army rushed into the lake, and everyone let go of their bellies and drank bitterly. The joy and joy of a long drought and a rainy day, is nothing more than this?

Qiu Hu and the others saw He Lingchuan nodding, so they went to the lake to drink.

Which side has strict military discipline can be seen at a glance.

Yanyang drank a few sips of water and began to nibble on the grass on the shore, He Lingchuan also washed his face with water, took a long breath, and was in a trance for a while.

This oasis also exists in the Panlong World, and is much more extensive, a standard lake wetland with woods, a post station, and a small temple.

He Lingchuan has scooped water and drunk horses here many times, and he also caught a five-pound big fish, roasted and eaten it with the door panel.

Time has passed, spanning 160 or 70 years, and the small lake has returned.

So, what about Panlong City?

He looked into the distance.

At this time, Zhang Lianhai was also looking into the distance, because at the end of the field of vision, a large vast plateau appeared on the horizon.

The high slope of hundreds of feet rises from the ground, even if it is so far away, it has a majestic and desolate momentum.

He muttered, "That's the Chipa Plateau." ”

On the Cripa Plateau, there is the destination of their trip:

The ruins of Panlong City!

Tiangong sent two emergency messages, asking them to figure out the reason for the changes in the Panlong Desert as soon as possible, and sent new help.

Nearly a year ago, the Xushan Mountain was shocked, and the Heavenly Palace and the gods were concerned about the Panlong Desert by a large margin.

The first few times he entered the desert, Zhang Lianhai couldn't find it after going around countless circles. This time, he followed the Blackwater City Army, but he was guided by the red light.

Why?

Is it because the light of the mirage turned red a few days ago, indicating that the treasure is about to appear?

When the water was sufficient, the horses began to gnaw on the grass on the shore, but the men were so hungry that their stomachs growled. Most of the soldiers have already eaten their dry food, and at this time, they are all swallowing saliva when they see others stuffing cakes in their mouths.

Although the oasis is good, the fish in the water are not as long as their tail fingers, and they hide when they see people, and they can't wrap their stomachs.

The Blackwater Army pursued the Antonians and captured many horses along the way. Zhao Qinghe came over to ask He Chunhua whether to kill horses and eat meat.

A horse is more than 600 catties, and slaughtering one horse is enough for so many people to open meat.

He Chunhua waved his hand: "Why kill the horse?" ”

He asked He Lingchuan: "Do you still have incense dumplings?" ”

How does Daddy know he has? He Lingchuan had to contribute a little stock solution.

Then He Chunhua ordered someone to slaughter an Anton captive, stuffed a black jar in his clothes, poured stinky liquid on the corpse, and then dug a big pit in the sand and buried it in half.

He had led soldiers and was in charge of logistics, and knew that at this time a war horse was worth more than a prisoner.

Soon, there was movement on the sandy bottom.

Everyone heard the sound of trembling under their feet, and some of them sank into the sand.

Then, the captive's body was jerked by something and dragged into the sand.

The thread tied to the captive's body straightened.

The thing on the bottom of the sand was pulled harder, and the thin line of the finger broke.

"Bang", there was a loud bang.

Something exploded under the yellow sand, and the sand was more than half a foot high, and the people standing nearby were even shocked to their feet.

He Chunhua waited for a few breaths, and saw that there was no new movement underground, so he pointed to the sand and ordered everyone: "Dig it out!" ”

The soldiers started one after another, and soon a big guy was dug out of the sandy bottom:

The body length is about four zhang (thirteen meters), round and quite fat, like an eel or an earthworm, and there are links on the torso.

It was too big for the crowd to lift it up, so they had to scrape the sand around it.

Zhang Lianhai and other outsiders also came to watch: "What is this?" ”

I seem to have seen this kind of big guy when I went in and out of the desert.

"Earth dragon, a specialty in the sea of sand." He Lingchuan explained to them, "A few months ago, these things would have attacked travelers. Now they usually hide in the ground and don't come out much. ”

Other deserts also have earth dragons, but they are usually not that large. The xenomorphs in the Panlong Desert are all affected by the Dafang Pot. Now the Great Square Pots have changed, and their aggressiveness has disappeared with their aggressiveness, and they have reverted back to being scavengers lurking underground.

The earth dragon had a big hole in its belly, apparently due to the power of the pot of explosives.

The people couldn't drag it, so they simply cut off large pieces of flesh from it, removed the sticky tendons, peeled the skin, washed the meat, smeared it with salt, and put it on the fire to roast.

The flesh of the earth dragon is fat and delicate, much like eel, and has always been a delicacy on the table of the people of Blackwater City. Zhang Lianhai and the others looked a little embarrassed at first, but after eating a few pieces of barbecue, they didn't care.

Such a behemoth is enough for the whole army to eat many meals.

After resting for another quarter of an hour or so in the oasis, the expedition broke up with the army and could not wait to leave for the Chipa Plateau.

They didn't look back, because everyone knew very well that once they entered the ruins of Panlong, everyone was a competitor, and the friendship that they had previously joined forces to kill the enemy was long gone.

He Chunhua filled the water bladder, pointed to the Chipa Plateau and said to He Lingchuan: "Let's go over too." ”

"Huh?" He Lingchuan looked reluctant, "Still going?" ”

"Have you forgotten why Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu came here last time?"

He Lingchuan was stupid: "Didn't that black dragon say that the Dafang pot is connected to Panlong City, and it can't be taken out at all?" ”

"Now there are variables, otherwise why would so many people come at it?" He Chunhua was solemn, "Actually, Sun Fuping is right in saying a word, the generous pot can influence the battle situation." Dong Haoming rebelled endlessly, if we can get the big square pot, it will be the luck of the big kite! ”

If he can release three corpse insects to help, it will be no problem to pacify Dong Haoming's rebel department!

"Then Daddy go." Suppressing people with righteousness, what is the difference between this trick and Sun Fuping back then? He Lingchuan plucked out his ears, "I'm here to press for you." ”
