Chapter 18 Sandstorm
"How did you discover this oasis?"
The questioner is Kale, and the person being asked is naturally Lin. In fact, the questioner should be the entire team, and Kale is just asking the question on behalf of the team.
Lin pursed his lips and shook his head and said, "I don't know either, maybe it's a premonition? I also guessed."
Looking at the clear water lake in front of them, everyone felt that Lin's answer was a bit strange. In fact, at the beginning, Lin did not directly find the Hide and Seek Oasis. At that time, he pointed to the northwest, but in fact
The Hide and Seek Oasis was actually due north by east, which meant that Lin was taking a detour. And when they arrived at the place Lin mentioned, Lin decided to change direction and head towards the real Hide and Seek Oasis.
After the last water bag in the team was drained, the team finally found the movable hide-and-seek oasis. From the beginning of running to the time when they found the oasis, Lin was always at the front of the team, and he had the least need for water.
During the process, he only drank water three times, which was less than half of the water bag. This ability to withstand thirst made even the orcs stunned. Most of the remaining water was divided among his three servants.
These were three ordinary people. Regardless of physical strength or strength, they were at the bottom of the team. However, Lin did not give up their plans, and the three servants also tried their best to serve Lin, even though the three of them could do very little.
When Lin crossed a sand dune, the expression on his face turned excited. When he led everyone over the second sand dune, a lush oasis appeared in front of everyone. It didn't take much to think about it. The oasis in front of them was
The legendary moving oasis: the hide-and-seek oasis.
The Hide and Seek Oasis is not large, only three miles in diameter. It is just sandwiched between three sand dunes. Because it is a moving oasis, there are only some low shrubs and weeds around the lake, and there is no tree that is taller than a person.
, and there were also many shrubs that had dried up and were cut down by the team to use as firewood at night.
When Lin focused on the food on the fire, Kale stopped asking. After such a long period of contact, one of the many things that Lin could devote himself to was eating!
Lin not only knows how to eat, he is also very good at eating. He can eat as much as a tauren by himself, but no matter how much he eats, Lin's stomach is always deflated, and it is impossible to see that so much food has gone out.
Where did he go, so as long as Lin focused on the food, he didn't want to ask any questions.
One thing to do when entering the oasis is to replenish water. Now everyone has eaten and drank enough, and Kate is discussing the next journey with the werewolf captain and Kaler. If we continue at this pace, we should cross the edge of the Dessert Desert in
It was completed within ten days. After all, the start date of Kaler and Lin was getting closer and closer. If they missed it, they would have to wait until the next start of school, and the next start of school was half a year later, and neither of them could afford to wait.
"Actually, we have been delayed for a long time now. The Dess Desert is worthy of being called the desert of death. It is just a marginal area, and the experience is already so rich. I really can't imagine how those who ventured in the desert persisted.
"Next, let's discuss how to proceed, whether to speed up or return to the business road."
Kate's suggestion made the two people on the opposite side fall into deep thought. In fact, up to now, the team is only three hundred miles away from the edge of the Des Desert. If they continue to advance from the desert, the threat of assassination will be much smaller.
But uncertain climate factors set the danger at an uncertain standard.
Taking a normal trade route will be very fast and there will be no climate impact. However, no one knows how many people are still preparing to assassinate Kalle. Kalle's survival to this day has exceeded everyone's expectations. Therefore,
The assassination attempt against Kahler will definitely escalate.
No one can say whether the mercenaries headed by the werewolf captain can resist this kind of assassination. Although Lin still has a helper, this is not certain, because this helper will only appear when Lin is in danger. Kaller
His life or death has nothing to do with this helper.
"The person who secretly protects me has not shown up yet. He must have encountered something unexpected. The other party is playing tricks on us. As long as the other party has a saint-level powerhouse, we will not be able to face their attack, and I will definitely die." Kaler.
He is clearly aware of the dilemma he faces, but he is not worried about himself, he is worried about the Kotler Empire.
Since the attack, he had no information about the empire. Now there is an unknown force assassinating him. He doesn't know if his father has received the news. What is the current situation of the empire. He feels that this kind of information is blocked.
Le felt a little depressed.
"In order to assassinate you, it is not too much to send out a saint-level powerhouse. After all, you are the prince of a country. During the battle in the Kadan Hills Realm, your brother is missing. You are the second-in-line heir. There must be people who are secretly dissatisfied with you.
There are many, but even if you arrive in the Ron Empire and enter the Imperial College, will you be safe?" the werewolf captain asked with some doubts.
Kalle and Kate looked at each other and smiled. After all, the orcs have just developed, and there is no way to detect such trivial matters. But given time, I am afraid that even these will not be able to escape the detection of the orc empire, especially when there is a noble undercover agent.
.
"Forget it, no matter who you are in the Imperial General Academy of the three major empires, there are many strong people, so as long as you go in, safety issues are not a problem. What we have to face now is how to go on this road. Your Excellency,
Any suggestions?" Kate first gave a brief explanation to the werewolf captain, and then brought the question back.
For the team in front of him, it is a miracle that no one has died so far, but even so, Kaler still hopes that this team of more than 100 people can reach Glory City intact, but this extravagant hope is almost impossible
, as long as there is a conflict, casualties will inevitably occur. These orcs have done their best for themselves.
But having said that, in fact, he is just an accessory. What the orcs want to protect is Lin, whom they regard as a divine messenger. This is the first time that Kahler has felt that he is still being protected since he defeated the Kotler Empire.
When ignored, it is very embarrassing, but it allows people to understand themselves more clearly. Without that aura, you are just an ordinary person. Even if you have such an aura, you cannot even live a normal life. This is
The pain of those in high positions.
"I think if possible, we should march in the desert. Speed up and we should be able to arrive in time." The werewolf captain thought for a moment and put forward his own idea. He hoped to encounter fewer enemies, and there was nothing he could do about the slow speed.
If you do some calculations, you should have plenty of time.
Faced with the werewolf captain's proposal, Kate shook her head and expressed a different view, "I think we can travel in the desert, but we'd better get closer to the trade routes and not completely leave the desert or completely enter the trade routes. How about this method?"
?”
The businessman's nature was fully exposed in Kate at this time. Only he could think of such a compromise. However, both Kaler and the werewolf captain shook their heads at this proposal. This is not business, so
There will be no other consequences besides the destruction of the entire team.
Therefore Kate's proposal is the most unfeasible.
"There are so many people and the target is too big. We might as well just go it alone." Lin's sleepy words interrupted the discussion of several people. Servant Eleven put a blanket on Lin's body. After Lin nodded,
Eleven turned around and went to bed. During this journey, the three servants were the most tired. In order to ensure that they could keep up with the team, Lin specially ordered them to rest on time and conserve their energy.
"What... does this mean?" Kate looked at Lin with some doubts. He understood what Lin meant, but he didn't quite understand Lin's intention. Lin's meaning was very simple. No matter which way he and Kaller took,
You should leave Kate and the orc mercenaries behind and go to Glory City alone, just like you did before meeting Kate.
Lin sat in the middle of the three people, took a deep breath and said: "According to normal people's thinking, when they are protected by a strong team, they will often cling tightly and not come out, but we will do the opposite and take the initiative to leave.
I don’t think anyone else would think of the team, so I think we can go separately.”
I have to say that this idea is very bold and has certain feasibility, but as soon as this idea was put forward, it was directly rejected by two people.
"I don't agree." The werewolf captain said anxiously.
"I don't agree." Kate denied with a confused look.
"I don't need your consent!" After saying this, Lin grabbed the blanket that started to slide down and turned around to prepare for a rest. "Today's weather feels weird. It's better to evacuate the desert as soon as possible." Lin didn't care what the expressions of those people were.
I fell asleep directly.
Before dawn the next morning, the orcs had already started to light fires to keep warm and collect water to prepare breakfast. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was huge. People woke up from the cold every morning, and most of these people who woke up from the cold were from the team.
humans in.
Except for Lin who looked like a dead dog when he slept.
"Strange, why does it feel like there is so much sand in the wind today?" A tauren covered his nose and covered the mouth of the water bag with his other hand. From the moment he got up to now, the wind has been blowing a little strangely, and the sand in the wind
There is more than double the amount of sand than before, which is very abnormal.
"What's wrong?" the werewolf captain asked, rubbing his eyes filled with sand, but found that the tauren's eyes were looking at him with dull eyes. The tongue in the tauren's mouth was already covered with yellow sand, but he was still open.
It was very big. This scene was very funny, but the werewolf captain couldn't laugh at all. When he turned around, the water bag in his hand fell directly to the ground.
"Beast God above!" Looking at the many black lines connecting the sky and the earth in the distance, the werewolf captain first let the wind fill his mouth with sand like the tauren, and then shouted carefully: "Alarm
