Chapter 329: Check the Supplies
Early the next morning, as the horn of the march sounded, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua followed these martial cultivators from the Flash Silver Gate into the sea urchin chariot and officially entered the barbaric gate to the Wild Beast Continent.
The gate of the wilderness, about 100 meters wide, is flanked by bare rock walls that stand upright.
The fog rises in the canyon and the fog is thick, and you can't see the sky or the end of the road, and the line of sight in the canyon is only nearly 100 meters.
After pushing the chariot for about half an hour, the temperature in the canyon began to rise, and the dense fog ahead began to slowly fade.
After walking for about forty minutes, you can already see the bright light at the exit of the canyon.
More than ten minutes later, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua finally walked out of the gate of the wilderness and officially entered the Wild Beast Continent.
Opposite the exit of the Wild Gate was a barren mountain, full of bare rocks and red soil, with no flowers or trees, but sparse cactus-like plants.
In front of the barren mountain, there is a road seven or eight meters wide on the left and right that extends backwards, and in the middle of the barren mountain there is a small ravine like a canyon.
However, what Huang Ming and Xiao Hua didn't expect was that from a distance, there were many shrubs and plants growing thousands of meters away from this small ravine, a bit like a small oasis in the mountains.
If you look down from the air, the terrain here looks like a three-strand steel fork with a long handle.
The long handle of the steel fork is the canyon of the Wild Gate, the two forks on the left and right are the two roads that extend backwards in front of the mountain, and the fork tip in the middle is the ravine where the barren mountain just leads to the small oasis.
The convoy stopped, and the one-eyed Rambo also got out of his own sea urchin car, asking the commanders of each car to come out and gather, and Huang Ming and Xiao Hua naturally went too.
"Okay, this ravine is Maomaoqing, Elder Mu and Elder Mei, your two teams will deploy the chariots at the left intersection, Elder Luo and Elder Feng, your two teams will deploy the chariots at the right intersection, and the other teams will arrange the remaining eight chariots in a semicircle facing the ravine, and the four arch and crossbow chariots will be in the middle and back."
Rambo began to set the task.
Since this plan was made yesterday, everyone went their separate ways, and it didn't take long for the car formation to be ready, and Huang Ming and Xiao Hua also walked into this small ravine called Maomaoqing as planned.
As soon as they entered the ravine, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua scanned around with their divine thoughts, but they didn't find any brute beasts or human breath, so they sped up and came to the Maomaoqing camp in that small oasis.
This small oasis in the ravine is not large, but it is the flattest and wide part of the ravine, nearly five or six hundred meters long and wide, and there are a few palm trees on the edge of the oasis.
To Xiao Hua and Huang Ming's surprise, there was a small natural pond in the middle of this small oasis, and there was a spring full of spiritual energy in the pond that was constantly "gurgling" upward.
"Isn't it, there is actually a spiritual spring in the Beast Continent?" , Xiao Hua was a little surprised.
In his impression, since the Barbarian Beast Continent is not suitable for the survival of the human race, it must be a harsh environment and a barren place, at least it must be like a desert Gobi or something, but he didn't expect that there is not only an oasis but also a spiritual spring here.
Huang Ming was also surprised: "Yes, I didn't expect there to be a sweet water oasis here?" ”
"Sweetwater Oasis?" Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment.
"Hey, Lao Ming, don't say it, this place is really like the sweet water oasis in World of Warcraft, it's indeed a good place"
"It doesn't matter if it's good or not, we don't cultivate here anyway, let's go, let's go check the camp"
After Huang Ming finished speaking, he walked directly towards the improvised camp built on the edge of the pond.
This Maomaoqing camp is not large, it is a simple temporary barracks.
On the periphery, there is a ring of horses sharpened with palm trees and turned outward, leaving an entrance, which served as both a defense and a wall for the camp.
In addition to the horse wall, there was only one fixed building in the whole camp, which was a wooden watchtower about six or seven meters high at the entrance, but one of the four pillars of this watchtower was broken and had been diagonally to one side.
The camp was a mess, with three tents for 10 people all broken and dumped on the ground.
Huang Ming and Xiao Hua carefully inspected the camp, and even the toppled tent was opened to take a look, but they found nothing but some traces of being burned by the fire.
So they widened their scope, went through the entire oasis separately, and finally returned to the camp.
"Weird? There were no corpses in the camp, no blood, no weapons or armor scattered nearby, and if it weren't for some paw prints and burnt marks, I believe it was abandoned on its own initiative."
Xiao Hua touched his bald head, he felt that this camp had indeed been attacked, but then it seemed to have been cleaned.
"There are some wild beast tracks around the pond, but I don't see what kind of beast it is, maybe it's a bobcat from around here, or maybe it's a brute beast that has come to attack here?"
Huang Ming found the footprints of some beasts.
"No matter, since there are no brute beasts here, let them check by themselves, let's go, let's go back"
Xiao Hua decided to scatter back, anyway, they were only responsible for reconnaissance and luring the enemy, as for what happened here, it was their flash silver gate, and it had nothing to do with them.
After going out of the ravine and briefly talking about the situation inside, the one-eyed Rambo led a group of people into the ravine, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua also followed, leaving only the four teams guarding the intersection outside.
Coming to the camp again, Rambo asked people to check separately, and after more than ten minutes, everyone returned to the camp one after another.
"The situation is a little bad, judging from the footprints by the pond, our camp must have been attacked by brute beasts, and the Elder Hong who came to reinforce them is estimated to be more than lucky."
The one-eyed Rambo thought about it when he said this.
"But this is the only source of water after we entered the Brute Continent, which is why we set up our camp here, and now we must leave a team of people to guard it, which of you wants to stay?"
After analyzing the situation, the one-eyed Rambo asked, hoping that someone would take the initiative to stay.
"Or I'll stay"
Elder Yang, the pavilion master of the Silver Spear Pavilion, spoke, and he was willing to lead the team to stay.
"Okay, but Elder Yang and their team are not enough, Elder Wu, your Silver Star Pavilion is mainly based on bows and arrows, you can cooperate with Elder Yang and them, and your team will also stay."
The one-eyed Rambo looked at the only female elder among the elders.
"Okay, then our team will stay too", Elder Wu nodded.
"Well, there are a total of forty people in your two teams, if you block the chariot at the intersection and set up some more traps around, Elder Yang's spear team and your bow and arrow team should be able to hold out until we complete this beast hunting mission."
"Yes, follow the orders of the master", the two elders obeyed the arrangement.
"Alright, now replenish the water, fill all the buckets of the tanks, and assemble at the intersection"
So the two remaining squads began to block the entrance to the ravine with their chariots, while the others fetched water while waiting for the two squads responsible for guarding the intersection on the right to return.
After that, each team pushed their sea urchin cart from the road on the left and officially entered the Brute Continent.
