Although he was very curious at this moment about what kind of warships were still operating normally in the Gujia Desert, he also knew that now was definitely not a good time to look for warships.
Now his understanding of the Gujia Desert is limited to some books, but from the actual situation, the situation in the Gujia Desert is not as simple as mentioned in the book. He needs to collect more truly useful information before he can
Go deeper and more efficiently into the depths of the Guga Desert to find things.
After it was clear that the direction of the field effect was the direction away from the Gujia Desert, Leo began to release his speed and move in that direction.
For ordinary people, the climate in the Gujia Desert feels deadly. After nightfall, not only does the temperature drop to below freezing point, but it is also often accompanied by biting cold winds. The ground formed by a large amount of floating sand may cause damage if you step on it accidentally.
Can't climb out anymore.
However, the climate and environment are not the most dangerous. The most dangerous are the creatures that live in the desert. Those creatures are all kinds of strange and highly poisonous. Some of them bury themselves in the sand, and when prey passes by, they will immediately burrow into them.
They come out to launch fatal attacks on prey, and some directly disguise themselves as a large piece of sand. As long as someone steps on it, they will directly wrap up the intruder, and the pores under the outer skin will instantly emit a large amount of corrosive venom.
, dissolve the prey in a short time, and then engulf and digest it.
Leo had only been walking in the desert for less than two hours and encountered more than fifty attacks. It was completely different from just having to resist the harsh weather during the day.
"No wonder everyone who can walk out of the Guga Desert alive is called the lucky one. It really takes a lot of luck for an ordinary person to survive in this environment." Leo put a knife under his feet that had just come out and wanted to bite his ankle.
After the poisonous sand lizard was crushed, he looked at the endless desert in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
Although these dangers in the desert are fatal to ordinary people, they are not dangerous to Leo, just like a group of annoying little bugs.
Leo has been on the road all night. It is easy to get bored by the unchanging terrain around him, and even doubt whether he is going in the right direction, but Leo does not feel hesitant, because just over an hour ago, his sense of smell was
I can already smell a very faint smell of sea breeze, and the surrounding temperature has also changed a bit. It is no longer freezing, but has risen a bit.
Judging from these signs, Leo was certain that he was almost reaching the edge of the Guga Desert.
Just as the night was coming to an end and the sun began to emerge in the distance, Leo saw a series of tent shadows emerging from the dunes in the distance under the sunlight. It looked like they were desert nomads.
Although the products in the desert are scarce, there are also things worth trading. Most of the nomads living in the desert are natural traders. They will buy a large amount of salt from the salt fields on the east coast of Savile, and then swim in the desert.
When leaving, trade it to various desert tribes and purchase various desert creatures captured from those tribes.
At first, these strange desert creatures would be made into specimens and sold to wealthy people from other countries who like to hunt for exotic things but cannot afford to come to Savile.
However, with the emergence of various research reports from the medical school, the world discovered that various organisms in the desert possess a very special pharmaceutical ingredient. After extracting this pharmaceutical ingredient and adding it to other pharmaceuticals, the efficacy of this pharmaceutical
It can be improved several times.
For a time, the prices of various desert creatures skyrocketed, and the annual export revenue of various desert creatures accounted for more than one-third of the various export revenue of the Savile Kingdom.
However, it is precisely because a large number of Savile people capture desert creatures that almost all the creatures that are easy to capture in other deserts have been caught, but the domesticated desert creatures do not have that magical pharmaceutical ingredient, that is, many of them
The extremely poor nomads have to come to the edge of dangerous deserts like the Guga Desert to look for opportunities to capture those desert creatures.
The nomadic tribe that appeared in front of Leo was also a tribe that took risks to capture desert creatures.
This tribe is called Kaka, and it is a member of thousands of small tribes in Savile. However, in the past, before the Lord of the Creation and Destruction of All Things was called the only religious belief in the Savile Kingdom, the Kaka tribe was
One of the dozen largest tribes in Savile, with hundreds of thousands of tribe members, and many of the tribe's top leaders hold important positions in the palace.
The reason why the Kaka tribe had such strong strength and status at that time was because the women of the Kaka tribe had a high chance of becoming guides.
In ancient times, desert roads had not yet appeared in the Savile Kingdom. If various tribes in the kingdom wanted to survive in the desert, there were two types of people indispensable. One was Sha Lao who had lived in the desert for many years and had rich survival experience.
The other is the desert guide.
The role of Sha Lao is to help the tribe find valuable crops and desert beasts so that the tribe can survive and pass on in such a harsh environment as the desert.
The desert guides are even more important, because they can help the tribe not lose their way when wandering in the desert, and they can find water sources for people to survive.
In the desert, unless it is on the edge of the desert, the water source in the desert will not be fixed in one place. It will appear anywhere in the desert without any regularity. Maybe the bottom of the dune in front of you is still a deep pit during the day, but when you arrive
At night, this place may turn into a small lake.
Therefore, if you want to survive in the desert, people who can easily find water sources are absolutely indispensable.
At that time, in the entire Saville Kingdom, the desert guides of the Kaka tribe accounted for more than half of all desert guides. Their importance was self-evident to various desert tribes, and the Kaka tribe also used this to strengthen itself.
It is a pity that when the belief in the Lord of the Creation and Death of All Things began to spread in the desert, and gradually replaced the original beliefs of various tribes, it was eventually recognized as the only belief by the Savile Kingdom and became the state religion.
After the Lord of the Creation and Destruction of All Things became the only belief, many things in the desert changed. For example, the Desert Chidao Project, the Great Oasis Project, etc. led by the church gathered the originally scattered tribes into city-states with the church as the core.
, which reduced the pressure on the tribe to survive and also caused Sha Lao's status to gradually lose.
Later, the witch hunting incident that swept the entire world of Velen also appeared in Savile. At that time, the desert guides from the Kaka tribe were all women, and other tribes coveted the wealth of the Kaka tribe, so they framed all the women of the Kaka tribe.
It's a witch.
A gluttonous feast for the Kaka tribe was also instigated by interested parties. The desert guides in the tribe and the families related to the desert guides were all captured and killed by fanatical believers. The tribal property was divided up by all parties. The huge
One of the Kaka tribes fell apart, and in the end there were less than a thousand Kaka tribe members left.
After that, the Kaka tribe has always been at the bottom of the entire Saville tribe and has never recovered. Although the church no longer captures witches, and even witches have come to the forefront and become powerful figures in the kingdom, the Kaka tribe is still being used by people from various tribes.
Exclusion, even the last piece of land belonging to the Kaka tribe was taken away decades ago, and the Kaka tribe had to become a nomadic tribe.
Now the Kaka tribe mainly makes a living by selling sea salt. There are only more than 300 tribe members. Half of the women are female slaves purchased by the Kaka tribe from slave traders in order to propagate the tribe. These female slaves will eventually be distributed to the tribe.
Men have become tools for tribal reproduction.
The chief of the Kaka tribe is called Abahan Kasa. He was born in the era when the Kaka tribe had not lost its land and still lived in the city-state. Although at that time, the relationship between other tribes in the city and the Kaka tribe was not harmonious, life was still peaceful.
At least it's pretty safe.
However, after the Kaka tribe was driven out of the city-state, it became troubled. A large number of tribesmen died due to illness, and even the former leader died of illness.
Abahan Kasa was forcibly elected as the clan leader by his tribe because he was the only one in the clan who had gone to school and the only adult Kasa family member.
In order to allow the Kaka tribe to continue, Abahan was forced to lead his tribe to work as sand pirates for a period of time, quickly accumulating a fortune, and before the kingdom's sand cavalry could react, he immediately left the sand pirate business and turned to
He led this tribe to start a business of selling salt, which they did for decades.
The business of selling salt is not easy to do. Generally, nomadic tribes take the desert road, which is safe and convenient. However, you need to pay tax when traveling on the road, and you don't only pay it once, you must pay it once before reaching a city-state.
The Kaka tribe simply did not have that much money to pay taxes, so they could only cross the desert like other lower-level tribes. During the process of crossing the desert again and again, many tribesmen died in the desert, but fortunately they were found by them.
Several safe desert passages were established, and the tribe's losses stabilized.
Ten years ago, Abahan Kasa broke the marriage rules of the tribe, spent all the savings of the tribe for more than ten years, bought some female slaves, and let some of them marry adult men in the tribe. In these years, the population has increased
It has recovered a bit, and children can be seen in the tribe.
Abahan Kasa not only just wants to restore the tribe's population, he also hopes that the tribe can further develop. Even if it cannot return to the past 100,000 people, it would be good to become a tribe with a few thousand people.
Therefore, after much consideration, Abahan Kasa put his mind on the desert creatures in the Gujia Desert.
Now the price for purchasing wild desert creatures outside has reached an extremely astonishing bottom. An ordinary sand snake costs three jinsa. You must know that the price of an ordinary female slave outside is only fourteen gaisa. You can buy one jinsa.
There are six female slaves.
Although entering the Gujia Desert is very dangerous for anyone, even the tribes living on the edge of the Gujia Desert are not willing to enter the Gujia Desert. They will only use some methods on the edge of the desert to remove the animals that live in the desert.
Attract those creatures and capture them.
But for Abahan Kasa, there is no danger at all when they enter the Gujia Desert. For the Kaka tribe, the Gujia Desert is just a return home.
Others in the Kaka tribe did not know that the Kaka tribe actually originated from the Gujia Desert, nor did they know that the Kaka tribe had the ability to freely enter and exit the Gujia Desert and survive for a long time.
In the opinion of Abahan Kasa, the desert tribes around the Gujia Desert who claim to be descendants of the Gujia civilization are all liars. If there is really a Gujia civilization in this world and its descendants are left behind, the only one is the Kaka tribe.
Only then do you have this qualification.
The secrets about the Gujia Desert were things that Abahan Kasa knew after he became the clan leader. At that time, the previous clan leader died of illness before he could leave any words. He was the clan leader elected by the clan. He did not know anything and could only
Find useful information from various classics collected by the tribe.
But what he didn't expect was that he discovered the secret of the origin of the Kaka tribe in those ancient tribal books, and discovered a more important secret in the secret of the origin, that is, the desert guide of the Kaka tribe should actually be an ancient
A guide to the desert.
In the past, when the Kaka tribe had just left the Gujia Desert and was still very weak, the Kaka tribe relied on the tribe's desert guides to travel through the Gujia Desert and do business with other tribes, so Abahan Kasa also wanted to
The Kaka tribe starts again.
But the problem is that the Kaka tribe no longer has a guide in the desert. Because of the witch hunting incident that year, all the guide families in the tribe were extinct. The Kasa family was originally a guide family, but they had not issued a guide for several generations at that time.
He was a passer-by, so he luckily escaped the disaster.
Therefore, this matter has always been suppressed in the heart of Abahan Kasa, but what happened suddenly a year ago made Abahan Kasa, who had originally forgotten the story of the rise of the Kaka tribe, think of it again.
The dream I had back then.
A year ago, the Kaka tribe encountered a group of extremely powerful sand bandits and had to go deep into the desert to take refuge. However, although they avoided the sand bandits, they got lost in the desert. This situation is more difficult than encountering sand bandits.
Theft is dangerous.
Just when everyone felt desperate, a person stood up and said that she could find a way to leave. No one believed her at that time until she suddenly went out on a camel one night and brought back more than a dozen skins in the morning.
After receiving a bag of clear water, everyone determined that she was the guide in the desert of the Kaka tribe, which had been extinct for more than a hundred years.
Over the next year, Abahan Kassa continued to test the ability of this guide. At first, the guide could only guide the correct road and direction on the edge of the desert. Now, the guide can lead the entire tribe across the desert.
The entire desert, and the crossing process is more comfortable than taking the desert trail. Before setting up camp every night, you can always find a suitable waterhole for camping.
