Under Thales's insinuations, Quick Rope managed to keep a straight face and whispered to the boy: "Not far away, we found a small camp."

"But everyone inside is dead."

Thales was horrified.

"How did you die?"

Quick Rope led the mount glumly and followed the caravan forward: "The one who was killed."

Thales frowned and looked at the uncomfortable fast rope suspiciously: "What?"

"Who did it?"

"I don't know, that's what's so bad."

But Quick Rope immediately turned his eyes, looking at Thales with a look of pride in his eyes.

"This is your first time in the desert, lucky Huai Ya," Kuai Sheng sighed and coughed in a mature manner: "Besides temperature and drought, and of course sand, the most famous threat in the desert is

, there are two kinds.”

He leaned his head over and said mysteriously: "Orcs, and Bone Man."

Thales looked stern.

"They tend to gather in their own tribes, have their own livestock and territories, and move around in four seasons. When they encounter threats, they go out in groups."

Thales subconsciously clenched the time crossbow under his arm: "You mean, the one who killed those people was..."

"No no no."

Quick Rope shook his head, looking very experienced: "Even if you are unlucky and fall into the hands of a larger tribe, you may not be certain to die. According to experience, the Bone Man will estimate your price, and the Orc will weigh you."

Weigh your weight and decide whether to sell you or sell you after you finish selling."

According to experience?

Thales looked at the serious fast rope with a strange expression.

"Sell?"

Thales coughed and repeated: "Where to sell it?"

Kuai Rope showed a happy smile.

"Do you know Caligre?"

"Caligre?" Thales was slightly startled, feeling as if he had heard of this place before.

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Kuaisheng's eyes shone: "Calligre, the legendary desert city... Some people say it is an impenetrable fortress deep in the desert, while others say it is composed of several tribes.

A large camp that moves with the seasons, some even say it is an ancient underground city that has lasted for thousands of years, occupied by desert people. Some even say that Caligre is the playground of an evil dragon in the desert. It likes

Watching people killing each other there."

Thales was stunned for a moment.

"There is...a giant dragon in the desert?"

But Quick Rope just waved his hand impatiently: "Don't interrupt me... In short, Caligre, that is the most mysterious, lively and dangerous place in the desert. Bone Man and Orc are regular visitors there.

, legend has it that there is a close relationship with several large desert tribes."

"Once you are captured, whether it is a skeleton man or an orc, they will sell you there, turn you into a slave, and turn you into the property of others. Before you can move, they will let you fight.

Prostitute yourself, do anything you can to make a profit, and please the big shots in the desert..."

"but."

Quick Rope's eyes became serious, and the conversation suddenly changed: "Whether they are organized orcs or desolate bones, they are not the biggest worry for the desert caravans. They at least have order and their own rules. No matter how incredible those rules seem, there are

At that time, some tribes even welcomed caravans to visit.”

Kuaisheng narrowed his eyes and raised his index finger: "But what if you encounter a sand pirate..."

"The lawless people who fled into the desert from the outside, the scum and lunatics who have reached the end of their rope and have nothing to lose."

Kuaisheng's expression became terrifying: "Then pray to the God of Desert or Sunset Haoyue. They don't know what it means to be soft-hearted, what it means to be a prisoner, and what it means to be merciful."

Thales looked at him worriedly.

But the fast rope is not over yet: "Even worse, you meet the exile..."

"Exile?"

Kuaisheng narrowed his eyes and nodded: "The most dangerous existences in the desert are the skeletons and the orcs."

"They were exiled by their tribes because of their mistakes, and they walked alone. But don't forget, these people are powerful and experienced fearsome warriors who were trained in large tribes. Walking in the desert is like walking in your own home.

After losing the protection of the tribe, they also gradually lost their principles and rules. They were tortured by the scorching sun and wind all year round, and became cruel, vicious, and violent. In order to survive, they had to stick together and even associate with sand bandits, but the threat was far greater than that of ordinary sand pirates.

Steal."

Kuaisheng's expression and tone rose and fell with his words, looking lifelike and lively.

His voice darkened: "They often have no bottom line. In order to survive, they will even do something beyond imagination."

"Things beyond imagination..." Thales pondered: "For example?"

Kuaisheng's face tensed up.

He took a deep breath, tightened his neck, and mysteriously said a few words in front of Thales: "Cannibalism."

Thales' breathing was stagnant.

"So, everyone has been spreading rumors that there are cannibals in the desert, and that children are even sold into the desert to be eaten by skeletons or orcs..."

"It's true," Kuaisheng looked at him coldly: "Or it's partially true."

"Huaiya, it's very dangerous in the desert. A good person may no longer breathe tomorrow." Quick Rope's voice was full of melancholy: "The fear of death occupies our bodies and minds all the time."

"So, in order to overcome this fear, Huaiya, we have a way..."

Thales looked at him blankly, suddenly feeling that something was wrong.

I saw Kuai Sheng coughing: "Let me tell you, there is a tavern owner named Tampa in Blade Tooth Dune. He promises that as long as you deposit a certain amount of money with him, if you return alive, he will return it to you."

Ninety-nine percent of you, if you don't make it back alive..."

At this moment.

Snapped!

A heavily armed woman suddenly appeared behind them and slapped Quick Rope on the back of the head hard!

"Ahhhh Louisa!"

"Quick rope, you brat!"

The captain of the mercenaries, Luisa Dante, was full of anger and slapped Quick Rope on the head, making him run away with his head in his arms.

"You don't see many people trying to mess with your crooked money-making businesses!"

"besides!"
