The group's transaction didn't take much time, and it wasn't so much about doing business as it was about exchanging inconsequential gadgets with each other and making excuses to test each other.

Before leaving, Mary asked, "If we are tired from traveling, can we rest here for a few days before we set off?"

The Dragonmen resolutely refused: "No, we don't like aliens to spend the night in the city, you can go outside and find some oases, ruins, caves, etc., don't bother our idea."

"If you're too slow, you can use these pieces of metal and gems to hire desert lihzahrds as mounts, it's certainly not free, and if you need them, you'd better exchange them for some now."

Mary said she was just asking, and since they didn't want to, forget it.

When she went out and walked far away, there was no one on the side of the road, and Mary complained, "It seems that we can't delve into their history and culture until we gain their trust, and we can't even reimburse the travel expenses."

"Speaking of which, do you think that the dragonmen's heads are wider and rounder than the lizardmen's, compared to these guys, the lizardmen's heads appear flat and small, their bodies are thinner, and the texture of their scales is different."

Wearing sand goggles, a scarf and burqa, Coolie turned the owl-like full-mask mask and interrupted Mary's fantasy:

"No, our goal now is to find the Zerg stronghold and burn them with a fire."

"What about you, Flanders? Are you going to try to communicate with the Zerg, or do you want to fight quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night?"

Flanders: "Zergs infect outsiders, and as modern people in the physical world, they must be our enemies, no matter what they say, we should do it or we will do it."

"Those bugs may be related to the history of the dragonmen, if they were burned directly with extraordinary flames, there may be some documents and records, this expedition will not be found, at least it will have to wait until a year after returning to reality, and it will not be able to come again."

"In addition, when the Zerg are parasitic, they may share all their memories with ordinary people, so they must know about our existence and those of our competitors, and will have some knowledge of the world beyond the fog of history."

Enzo: "That's right, but don't worry. These things are like moths to a fire when they want to leave the fog of history, and they will be dispersed and destroyed when they get close to the edge of the fog of history, and there is no place for them in reality."

"Anyway, they don't have our specific numbers and intelligence, and we will be done with revenge in the name of the competitor team, but Flanders hasn't told us about the competitor team yet, when are you going to talk about it?"

Flanders thought for a moment: "I'll tell you when the time is right, it's not a matter of telling stories all day long,"

Colley spread out the map and glanced at it, which felt as strange as a wet cracker, and put it back in the wooden tube: "There are several places that need to be visited, so you have to find a high place to investigate the terrain first, plan your route and explore the area."

"The first location is the Abandoned Broken City, the Dragons suspect that there are bugs in the shade of the underground water source over there, it seems that it is the place where they lived, the reason for the abandonment is unknown, we may be able to take the opportunity to find information and traces of life."

"The second location is a desert oasis, a little far away from the ruined and broken city, maybe the dragons left after the water source dried up, I guess there will be wild animals over there, if you want to try your luck with some precious leather and beast materials, you can start preparing to do it, even if you don't take it out, you can trade it."

"The third location is the Abandoned Gold Mine, and it's time for the treasure hunt! But I'd like to remind you for free, that normally, gold ore with mining value is a thin piece of gold the size of a fingernail for every 1,000 pounds of stone."

"And after a preliminary selection, for every 1,000 pounds of stone, there is a small gold bar as thick as half a pinky finger, which is called a better quality pure gold mine."

"Crystal mines are actually better than gold mines, even though they may seem

It's not valuable enough, and when you take it out, there's a high chance that it will turn into a low-quality turbid quartz block, but it's a kind of sand anyway, and you can't lose much no matter how much you lose."

Ke Li originally wanted to say that the main ingredient is silica, but when the words came to his lips, he held back stiffly.

Flanders also said: "Although the efficiency of recycling gold with alchemical reagents is more than 95%, it is an extremely hard and time-consuming work, and it may turn into brass when it is taken out, so we should still focus on research and exploration."

The kestrel replied in a triumphant manner: "That's a pity, you can only make a fortune in your dreams, and when you wake up, you will become broken copper and iron, and if you can't smelt it into ingots, you shouldn't be able to put so many sharp debris in the cabin."

The crowd stopped talking, and after paying the lizard's satisfaction, the dragonmen explained the use of the signpost stones, and the big guys finished carrying the passengers, and dived into the sand and moved quickly.

It feels like a slide ride, or some kind of bizarre flying carpet that flies close to the ground.

Enzo laughed, "It looks like the Dragonman guys are really heavy, solid, and when they ride the lizard, these things aren't that fast."

Flanders: "They may think the weather is bad, or the place they are going to is dangerous, and they want to send us there and just run away, which saves us time."

"Oh, stop for a moment, I just realized that there is a mausoleum buried in sand here, I need to check it."

The lizard reluctantly circled a few times, stopped in the distance of the mausoleum, and said nothing and refused to come closer.

The brutes are more cautious than the average person on the competitor's team, resulting in Mary and Flanders having to leave one to keep an eye on the lizards, if they take the money and run away.

Mary had no choice but to say, "I'm watching them, so go."

Kestrel and Yuelan also said, "Well, we're not very interested, and if there's no temptation, we can stay here."

Colley: "Then the three of us go, you be careful."

Colli, Enzo, Flanders are close to the mausoleum, and the sand here has a strange structure, not like ordinary sand and dust.

Enzo immediately noticed, "The sand is all grainy, but when I stomp my foot hard, or punch the sand directly, there is no sign of collapse, but a whole pit is concave."

"Yes, for example, there is a thick cloud of snow like yellow sand around here, but they are the same as the ambient temperature, they are not excessively cold and hot, they are the result of the remnants of some extraordinary property," said Colley.

Flanders moved forward silently, the burial chamber inside was dark, and all three took out their lanterns to illuminate it.

The nest is very simple, surrounded by frescoes and a huge coffin in the middle, the frescoes are painted with treasures composed of gold and precious stones, quite a picture of really no jewelry to accompany the burial to go to the dream of sitting on the mountains of gold and silver, unexpectedly simple.

"There is no sign of theft, no sign of being worshipped, not even a famous stone tablet, I don't know who is buried here. However, there is a clear curse in this place, the kind for grave robbers, and if you break or open the coffin, you may get something extraordinary, but you will also be cursed."

Colley smiled, "Okay, let me try."
