Chapter 735 Desert of Death(1/2)
Qianyuan City, Jiaofang Division.
The standard of girls here is indeed much higher than other places!
Lando, who had transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged old man, was having fun with a girl in his arms.
For him, he had not felt this pure and simple happiness for a long time!
It's really ridiculous to say that Jin Yiwei's headquarters is only a few dozen miles away from Qianyuan City, but in those days when he became Jin Yiwei, not only did he not dominate, but he was immersed in the 007 work system every week and couldn't extricate himself!
It’s so… baffling!
"Still, the current life suits me!"
One month later.
Lando left calmly under the admiring eyes of everyone in the Jiaofang Division.
Although he has no literary talent, he can't just recite a poem and pay oiran for free.
But fortunately, he had enough funds, and by showing himself many times, his reputation of being "strong in body, capable of doing well" naturally spread, and he finally achieved the glory of being an oiran.
Well, very moist!
After a while, Lando had changed back to his original appearance and decided to seal up his previous identity as a 'middle-aged vicissitudes of life uncle'.
After all, he also wants to lose face!
At this time, Lando was wearing white clothes, with a sword hanging on one side and a ruby gourd hanging on the other. He looked like a young swordsman!
Stayed in Qianyuan City for another three days...
After enjoying the food, wine, beauties, and beautiful scenery, Lando left with satisfaction and headed towards Dayong in the north.
He didn't use his supernatural powers to rush along, he just walked casually and walked leisurely, sometimes walking only a few dozen miles a day.
Occasionally, I would meet a caravan or convoy along the way, and I would ride with them for a while.
Whenever it gets dark, if you can find a village, town or city, you will stay there. If you can't find it, you will use the sky as your quilt and the earth as your bed, dance with your sword, and drink in the moonlight. What a joy!
Wine and song, life geometry!
In this way, Lando walked for two full years before reaching the edge of the Daqian Empire.
During the trip, because of the spread of his deeds, he even got the nickname "Drunk Sword Master", which made him quite proud!
During this period, even if he did not deliberately practice hard, his Qi and blood were still improving rapidly and had reached the critical point of seven blood transfusions.
On this day, Lando finally arrived at the northernmost city in the Daqian Empire... Moyu City.
The city is famous for its rich jadeite.
Further north, there is a large area of uninhabited Gobi and a death desert with an even harsher environment.
Only after passing through the Desert of Death can we reach Dayong.
Legend has it that the Desert of Death is extremely dangerous. If you are not familiar with the environment, even a strong person in the Yin Yuan Realm may get lost in it.
Therefore, if you want to go to Dayong, the safest way is to find a team that often travels between Dayong and Daqian and travel with it!
And there are many such teams in Moyu City!
At a market on the edge of the city, there are a large number of teams preparing to leave for Dayong. There are also more people who want to go to Dayong for various reasons, so they come here to look for the team.
Listening to the shouts and bargaining around him, Lando even had the illusion that he was in an online game in his previous life.
Of course, his coquettish appearance at this time is also very eye-catching.
Suddenly, a quarrel not far away attracted his attention...
"...What?! One person wants a thousand taels?! Why don't you go and grab it! We have just asked, other teams only need 500 taels at most. Are you trying to trick us because we are young?
Us?!"
"Little girl, why don't you ask me, my old Geely's team is the same as other people's crooked melons and jujubes?! They only need five hundred taels, and that's all they have! Understand?!"
Following the sound, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties arguing with a girl in her early twenties.
Next to the girl, there was a young man about her age, who was comforting her in a low voice.
Not far behind the three people, a group of more than ten people were watching the excitement with interest.
Old Geely?
Hearing the middle-aged uncle call him this, Lando recalled the information he had collected before, nodded slightly, and walked over there.
Seeing Lando approaching, Old Geely seemed to be tired of being entangled. He just took two steps forward to greet him and asked: "Brother, do you want to find a trustworthy team to go to Dayong? Old Geely
I guarantee that I can send you there safely!"
Lando asked: "How much?"
Old Geely grinned and said: "One thousand taels! No counter-offer!"
Without saying a word, Lando threw out a Qianyuan Tongbao with a face value of one thousand taels.
After taking it, Old Geely checked it calmly. After confirming its authenticity, he smiled more attentively and called Lando to join the team.
Lando asked: "When will we leave?"
Old Geely said: "When I lead a team, I usually wait until there are ten passengers before leaving. But if there are still less than ten passengers after three days, I will leave directly."
Lando nodded slightly, waiting for ten people to arrive, or setting off in three days at the latest, that would be good.
Suddenly startled, he turned his gaze to his side and saw the girl from before looking at him with an upright look, which made him a little confused.
However, Lando didn't know that what the girl was thinking at this time was... She was clearly making a counteroffer, but this slutty guy who suddenly appeared just paid the money. How could she pay back?!
Although the girl herself knew that her counteroffering was mostly in vain.
But, I’m still so angry!
In the end, the two brothers and sisters obediently paid two thousand taels as travel expenses and joined the team.
Since then, there have been seventeen people in Old Geely's team, ten of whom are his team members and seven of whom are passengers this time.
In other words, as long as there are three more people, the team can set off.
The girl's mood came and went quickly. She was complaining just now, but soon she started chirping like a lark. She quickly became mingled with the team members and passengers, except for Lando, who made her angry.
However, the girl's brother seemed to have recognized Lando's identity as the "Drinking and Sword Master" and came to say hello and introduce himself.
The two brothers and sisters are called Mingxing and Mingyue. It is said that they want to travel to Dayong.
It can be seen that the old Geely team is quite famous. The next morning, it was full with ten passengers.
A group of twenty people, plus more than forty camels transporting supplies and goods, left Moyu City.
These camels are domesticated beasts, and their strength and endurance are far beyond those of ordinary beasts!
For Lao Jili and the others, taking people back and forth between Dayong and Daqian is just a way to make some extra money, and the bulk of it is actually the goods they transport!
Because the situations between Dayong and Daqian are different, the prices of many items between the two are very different.
If you have enough access and can travel safely and smoothly, you can increase your wealth dozens of times in just one trip!
Of course, the numerous bones buried under the desert of death also silently prove that this kind of money is not easy to earn!
Arriving outside the city, Old Geely stopped the team, and then said: "Everyone who can join my team, Old Geely, must have heard of my reputation. I have never done a one-time deal, so I have no confidence in my reputation."
I still have some confidence!”
"The Death Desert is full of dangers and will last for about three months, so before we enter, it's better to discuss some things..."
"Since I, Old Geely, have accepted your money, I hereby promise that I will do my best to bring you all safely to Dayong. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can promise me that everything will be done after entering the Death Desert.
Follow my command and don't make your own decisions! How about that?!"
Seeing everyone responding one by one, Old Geely's expression relaxed and he said with a smile: "Then, I wish us good luck on this trip!"
The group spent three days crossing the Gobi and entering the desert of death.
Everyone was surprised at first, but after less than half a day, they started to get tired of it.
Heat, drought, and a mouth full of sand when the wind blows by!
This made everyone's desire to chat disappear, and they were left with their heads down and hurried on.
Old Geely seems to be extremely busy. Every once in a while, he will carefully observe the surrounding situation and take out a compass-like thing to calculate for a long time.
On the fifth day after entering the desert, Mingyue suddenly shouted: "Oasis! Look, it's an oasis!!"
Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough they saw a trace of green at the end of their sight.
Although it wasn't on their route, it couldn't be far off.
Everyone turned their attention to Old Geely, and their longing eyes showed that they all wanted to go to the oasis to relax.
Old Geely frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head slightly. Not only did he not move towards the oasis, he even deliberately went a little further away.
This move made the little girl a little unhappy, and she pursed her lips and sulked for a long time.
Occasionally during a break, Old Geely would tell everyone about his experiences traveling across the Desert of Death.
One of them sparked some interest in Lando...
