Encountering two groups of robbers in succession, Zhou Yang was still a little worried, but as the carriage drove away, away from the big trading hub and settlement, and drove to a more barren area, Zhou Yang began to relax.

If there are really people digging up the roots of the human race, being traitors to the human race, and smuggling people, in order to hide people's eyes, they must be in an extremely barren and barren place where there are no caravans and bandits.

Not to mention the caravan, even the places where the robbers wandering in the Gobi region are unwilling to stay are the safest, and there is no need to worry about exposing the traces of migration and leaking the news.

Zhou Yang's purpose is also to go to this kind of place to investigate clues.

Amon drove the carriage and ran on the ground, going farther from time to time according to the direction pointed out by Zhou Yang and Bai Rong.

The Gobi is a place where it is difficult to grow grass and trees, with little rainfall, a huge temperature difference between day and night, and a very fine layer of sand on the ground due to the flow of wind and sand.

When a strong wind blows, there will be a situation of eating wind and sand that is often said on the Gobi.

Because of the lack of water and food, Zhou Yang prepared a lot of food and water in the carriage, and just in case, he also prepared one in the storage bag, which was about enough for three people and one horse for more than ten days.

After Zhou Yang went down the mountain, there was a shortage of pills, thirty Yuan Qi pills, he took some, and the rest began to be saved. He hadn't thought about it before, buying pills like Qi and Blood Pills that had the effect of clearing grains, and now he had to prepare for water and food in the Gobi.

In addition to what people eat, because there is no forage, the horses pulling the carts eat a kind of "grass cake" sold in the Gobi

This kind of grass cake was invented by the caravan specifically for the purpose of feeding horses, which was mixed with forage, refined medicinal herbs, and nutritious beans.

Grass cakes are not only used by merchants of the four countries, but also by the armies outside the country, they are also using this kind of thing to feed war horses and maintain horsepower.

The Gobi gravel is mainly accompanied by sand, even the small hills are not very tall, short, like huge stones, no plants grow, this kind of environment, the field of vision is very broad, people can see things far away.

"Young Master, Brother Zhou, we have arrived at the 'wasteland'!" Amon shouted in front of the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Zhou Yang frowned when he heard this: "What does wasteland mean?"

"Brother Zhou doesn't know much about the Gobi, so naturally he doesn't know. This wasteland is the original gathering point on the Gobi, because of looting, commercial abandonment, or wholesale relocation, abandoned place!" Bai Rong explained.

Seeing Zhou Yang's half-understood appearance, Bai Rong did not explain the situation in detail, and said: "It's getting late, and the Gobi is going to get cold." Now that there are wastelands, the bandits shouldn't be around! Let's rest in this place for the night, and then continue to look for clues tomorrow. ”

"It's fine. Zhou Yang nodded.

Bai Rong asked Amon to drive the carriage close to the wasteland and find a place to rest in the wind and rain.

When he arrived at the place, Zhou Yang got off the carriage and saw a continuous human building, which was devastated by the wind and sand, a mess, with broken eaves and broken walls, showing a dilapidated scene.

The whole place, I don't know how many years it has been abandoned, even the wood, stone building materials, have been blown away a lot by the wind and sand, and many building walls have collapsed.

Due to the lack of continuous repairs, the whole place was abandoned, and the long-term exposure to wind and sun, rain, and strong winds eroded the roads were not smooth, and the edges and corners of the houses were gradually smoothed.

"Merchants in the Gobi are constantly opening up roads. As long as the trade routes change, the people in the Gobi, whether they are civilians, warriors, or robbers, will also move with them. The Gobi of Qi Yue is migrating, and the grasslands of other countries are also living in grassland. Surviving in this environment is very difficult, and it is no better than the prosperous territory of Shikoku. But Shikoku is now facing an agrarian crisis, and it is this harsh environment that is also settled. Over the years, the number of ordinary human beings has grown rapidly, and there has been a continuous war with the beast race, and the demon race has not changed much. If you don't open up new Terran territory, Brother Zhou will know the hidden dangers in this!"

Bai Rong looked at the ruins and sighed.

"Land crisis?! I'm ashamed to say that I only want to seek revenge on the demon clan, and I really haven't thought of this problem! Brother Bai is really knowledgeable, worried about the country and the people. ”

Zhou Yang sighed and said: "Compared with the beast clan, our human race is far from being an opponent! I have also read a few books, although they are not written by famous people, but there are still some insights in them that are very reasonable! To change this situation, we can only deal with the demon clan first! Strike down the high-level elites of the beast clan, and the human race can rise and develop!"

"Brother Zhou's remarks are good, but it's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to really achieve the goal! Zihua Continent was originally the territory of the beast clan, the place where the Zihua Demon Kingdom ruled! Brother Zhou doesn't know this!" Bai Rong suddenly said secretly.

"This kind of thing in the Zihua Demon Kingdom, ordinary people don't care about it, Brother Bai actually knows, it seems that Brother Bai's identity is not simple!" Zhou Yang said with a gleam in his eyes.

"Brother Zhou knows about the Zihua Demon Kingdom!" Bai Rong showed a rare expression of surprise.

"Now that I know, I won't say much about it. Although the Zihua Demon Kingdom perished, it was not because of the Terrans, but because of the war with the Zerg, and they were defeated! The four kingdoms of the Terran fought with the Beasts, and the monks fought with the powerful demons of the Beasts. But he doesn't have the strength to guard against the Zerg!It seems that the four countries are stable, but in fact they are in crisis!Facing the threat of the two races!" Bai Rong said worriedly, looking worried.

"Hearing Brother Bai say this, it seems that the human race has laid not a magnificent foundation in the Zihua Continent! but a territory facing extinction! The situation is like this wasteland, sooner or later it will be abandoned!" Zhou Yang said with some displeasure.

Bai Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The crisis can't be solved without saying or looking, I'm just worried." However, when the sky falls, there are still tall men on top, and the courts of the four kingdoms and the major sects may have already planned it! The spirit of the human race is tenacious, and when the day comes, when they face an attack, there will be people like them who will fight to the death!"

Bai Rong pointed to an area in the wasteland, which Zhou Yang had already seen, but it was just a dense hill, and he didn't know what it was for.

"Which place is a cemetery?" Zhou Yang thought about it for a moment and guessed.

"Yes, the Gobi region is close to the border between Qi Yueguo and the wilderness outside the country, and some soldiers who died in battle will be buried in the Gobi region. Form a group of tombs!" Bai Rong affirmed.

Bai Rong's tone of voice was a little desolate, in this situation, the Gobi, the wasteland, the wreckage, and a group of tombs, a picture appeared in Zhou Yang's mind.

Countless people have gone out of the prosperous land, settled on the Gobi, built straight roads, built border cities, and pushed the border defense far away from the core of the territory.

This is likely to be a national policy of Qi Yueguo, and the border was established separately, which not only made the human race develop better, but also kept the war away from many ordinary people.

Only then did Zhou Yang feel that there were countless stories in the seemingly monotonous and barren Gobi in front of him.

He was touched with emotion in his heart, looked at the place of a group of tombs, admired in his heart, and pinned his hope.

Looking around like this, Zhou Yang found a different place.

"What is that place for, a platform, and a boulder erected, like a stone monument!" Zhou Yang asked Bai Rong suspiciously, pointing out to him.

"Where?stone tablet?Is there still that place!Then this wasteland is really too long!" Bai Rong suddenly remembered something, and then a complicated expression appeared, he asked Amon to stay and rest, and pulled Zhou Yang to the place he said.

Amon was tired from driving the carriage and didn't want to walk anymore, so he lay down comfortably and ate something.

After Zhou Yang and Bai Rong entered the ruins, they walked through the wreckage and came to a place where there were platforms and boulders.

The platform is very simple, just a place higher than the ground, and the boulder is really a monument with some words engraved on it.

The soul of the ancestors mourns, and the soul returns to the pure land, and the name is passed on to future generations......

It's hard to tell, and it's hard to calm down......

Sin is in ......

The words on the stone tablet have become incomplete under the erosion of wind and sand, and the words that can be seen clearly do not constitute completeness.

"Sure enough, it's an altar! This wasteland, the time is really long, it should be the period of King Qi Ai!" Bai Rong's eyes were fierce, and he looked ahead.

"King Qi Ai!" Zhou Yang tried his brain, carefully recalled the various books he had read, and only vaguely remembered that Qi Yueguo had such a former king, but the gains and losses of his merits were not recorded in detail, and his reign was also a passing one, which was a very common and mediocre record in history.
