Chapter 13: The Oasis
On Fury's continent, green means two diametrically opposed situations for people, one is the disgusting poison, and the other is the joyful spring, and the two coexist in Fury's continent. A different shade of green was revealed in the yellow sand, and the moist wind caressed the face, and everyone deeply realized that in addition to being highly toxic, green also has another meaning: hope.
After two days of trekking, the team led by Kate finally arrived at the first oasis of the Days Desert, except for the attack of snakes and ant tides, the team has not found any danger so far, but the journey is hard, no matter which direction it looks at, it is an endless sand dune, if it were not for the map in hand, I am afraid that the whole team would have been lost in the Days Desert.
Turning over the last sand dune marked on the map, a giant tree with a brown trunk and a green top swayed its branches in the wind, like a waiter, welcoming the whole team, everyone greedily breathed the air with water vapor, and the pace couldn't help but speed up, in addition to the scorching wind in the past two days, the mouth was full of yellow sand, and now an oasis appeared in front of you, how could you not be ecstatic.
At the front was still the werewolf captain, and the two wolves' ears kept turning back and forth, and when he reached the giant tree, he raised his fist and signaled the team to stop, and listened intently.
The terrain of this oasis is long and narrow, with sand dunes with high slopes on both sides, and the oasis in the middle, if you want to enter the oasis, you must pass through the entrance where the giant tree is located, only after passing here, everyone can really enter the oasis, and at this time, the werewolf captain went to signal everyone to stop, it must have found something wrong, and after being attacked once, everyone has a memory, and the werewolf captain has always been vigilant and has to be admired, at least Kahler thinks so.
As for Lin, he seemed to be back in that dazed state, but looking at his pair of ears, he knew that he had been on guard.
Thinking of this, Calle couldn't help but start to empathize, if he was an enemy, then if he was sure that he was still alive under the ant tide, this oasis in front of him must be the best ambush location, the natural terrain here allowed the attackers to block themselves as long as they took the road inside the giant tree, and the team that had been running for two days would be more or less tired, at least the combat effectiveness and adaptability would decline to a certain extent, and the team they were in would also be very dangerous.
"There are people in there, there are a lot of them, I can't tell if they are friends or foes, rats, go and reconnoitre!" said the werewolf captain to one of the nezumi in the team, the nezumi nodded and began to run towards the two steep sand dunes, after running to a certain height, his body twisted and disappeared directly into the eyes of everyone, except for the orcs who had long known the abilities of their companions, they were all indifferent, but Caleb was frightened by this sight.
In addition to the sand, there is almost no trace of anything getting into the place where the rat man disappeared, and there is no sign of surging on the surface of the yellow sand, the rat man will burrow into the ground, but the rat man with this ability, Calle saw it for the first time, and it was normal to be surprised, and when he turned his head, Kate was also indifferent, thinking that he had seen this kind of scene before, except for the three servants, I am afraid that he was shocked, thinking of this, Caleb couldn't help but blush.
It seems that it is really necessary for me to get to know the Orc Empire well, whether it is as an enemy or a friend, this is one thing I must do.
In order to avoid accidents, the werewolf captain ordered the team to move backwards, and by the afternoon, the sun was not as vicious as at noon, so even if it was moved backwards and stationed, it was not a big problem, as long as the scout came back and distinguished friend and foe, he could choose whether to enter or retreat.
Time passed bit by bit, but the rat man still did not come back, everyone's faces showed anxious looks, and at this time, the ground in front of the team surged, a bloodstained rat head came out of the yellow sand, when he pulled out his whole body on the ground, the panicked crowd had already carried him to the team, and the werewolf captain's face became a little ugly, this result can only show that the people inside will not have any other possibilities except the enemy.
"This looks like you, and you still don't give up!" Captain Werewolf snorted coldly at Calle and then stopped talking, came to the nezumi and handed him the water bag, and the nezumi nodded at the werewolf captain after drinking the water and told him what was going on.
There are not only enemies in it, but there are also a lot of them, there are almost fifty people in the oasis, and they should also be mercenaries in terms of momentum, and the level does not seem to be low, but there are also people from the double-headed eagle family in the team, and a person who looks like a mercenary captain is very affectionate, which is why the people in the oasis are enemies in time.
It seems that the entire team has been swallowed by the ant tide, so their vigilance is not perfect, it can be said that it is full of loopholes, the rat man pulled out three dark sentinels in succession before retreating, the blood stains on his head are all from the enemy, and he himself does not have any special discomfort except for exhaustion.
Hearing that the rat man was fine, the big guy breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face began to become grim, according to the results of the reconnaissance, the double-headed eagle family really wanted to get rid of Kate, for which they spared no effort, the attack has been carried out three times, although each time it ended in failure, but the intensity of each attack also began to increase.
If the Vasa family has betrayed them, then none of the people who have defected to their command before are credible, and the strong man who protects himself in secret has not appeared since the attack on the town, I am afraid that something has happened.
Kahler doesn't know how strong the strong people who secretly protect themselves are, but there should be one or two people at the Sage level, but he hasn't seen it until now, so his situation is very dangerous, and he doesn't seem to have any other way to ensure his personal safety except to be tightly attached to this team.
In fact, Caller's heart is full of guilt now, if it weren't for Lin, he would definitely have lost his life in the first attack, and now he has survived two more attacks, all thanks to these orcs that he didn't look down on in the first place, in the Kotler Empire, orcs are synonymous with slaves, since childhood, Caller has been instilled with this kind of thinking, and before leaving the Kotler Empire, his own thinking is still deep-rooted.
And now, he found that his eyes on these orcs had changed a lot, from the beginning of taking it for granted, to now treating them equally, and he had also undergone a drastic change, at least when he saw the bloodstained nezumi return to the team, his concerned eyes were from the heart, not hypocritical, so now he has regarded these orcs in front of him with a somewhat hideous smile as a friend.
Kate handled the goods in advance, the team changed the route of travel, and was attacked many times, resulting in all this by himself, so Caleb felt guilty, but his strength was too weak, except for being a drag oil bottle, he had little to contribute, but the Lin he met always came up with a solution to the problem at a moment of crisis, even if he was not the oracle of the Orc Empire, I am afraid that he would become important in this team.
What can I do in such a team? These people have nothing to do with them, but now they are companions to each other, they must do something, they can't help because they lack strength, and after thinking about it for a long time, Caller's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he squeezed around the rat man, and Calle asked in a strange tone: "Can you describe the people you saw and where they are?"
The nezumi nodded, as a scout this is something he must master, I don't know what Calle wants to do, with the approval of the werewolf captain, he told Calle all the information he wants to know, Calle began to close his eyes and ponder after listening to the information he wanted to get, and when he opened his eyes again, the panic in his eyes had disappeared, and what filled his eyes was a kind of confidence that made people look up involuntarily.
"Maybe we can him ......"
In the oasis, piles of bonfires reflect everything around them in fiery red, and the flames sway in the crackling sound, and the surrounding figures also shake with the firelight.
The temperature difference in the Dyth Desert was enormous, with scorching sunlight and hot winds during the day, and low temperatures and cold winds at night, but now it was even colder than the faces of the people gathered around the campfire, and next to the fire there were three bodies that had become cold and stiff, and the warmth of the campfire pale in front of these three corpses, and they felt chills down their spines.
These are the three most hidden secret sentinels, but it was not until the rotation that they found out that they had been dead for a long time, and they were clean and neat without the slightest drag, and the person who attacked them must be a master of assassination, these three people relied on each other, and each of them was in the sight of the other two, but these three people were all dead, and the methods were the same, so all three of them died in the hands of one person, and if it wasn't for the need to change the guard, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been found until now.
Beside the fire in the middle sat a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, a pair of triangular eyes flashing with a dangerous gaze that made the people around him dare not look directly, even the employer sitting next to him, the young man of the Vasa family who had the emblem of the double-headed eagle on his chest.
"Didn't you say that they must have died under the ant tide? Then what happened to my three subordinates?" The middle-aged strong man turned his head to stare at the employer, neither his expression nor his actions showed the slightest respect, as if the two had exchanged identities, and the leader of his mercenary group was like an arrogant employer.
As soon as the young man wanted to reply, he heard a scream not far away, the middle-aged strong man's eyes narrowed, his body rose into the air, and flew in the direction of the scream, but when he felt it, except for his own subordinate who was holding his chest and hissing and panting, he didn't find any trace, you must know that you came as fast as possible, but the other party still escaped, and it must have been the person who attacked his subordinates before.
Just as the strong man was looking around, another scream came from another direction, and it was already the depths of the oasis.
"Damn! When did they pass?"
