Winnie kept flying, gradually flying from the pure desert to the desert terrain, which meant that they were closer to the water vein that ran through the Shurima Desert, which also meant that they would soon be able to find intelligent creatures.
During the flight, Lin Jiu had already seen the danger of this desert. He sensed countless creatures under the sand along the way. Some were as big as giant beasts, while others were small and exquisite. Their shapes were also different, and some were
Some have ferocious faces, and some have strange body shapes. Some monsters also have bodies covered with hard shells, like fortresses in the desert; some may be slender and can swim between the dunes of the desert.
Flexible shuttle.
Their skin often blends in with the desert environment, showing a sand-like color, such as yellow, brown or gray. Even if they dig out of the sand and lie down on the desert, they are easily ignored.
"Finally, we saw a living person." Lin Jiu's perception locked on a figure walking through the desert from a distance. The guy they found was wearing a piece of clothing made of various fabrics and a hat on his head.
A worn hat was worn to block the sun, his face was covered with wrinkles and sun spots, and his eyes showed a bit of numbness.
This guy was holding a wooden stick or an iron hook, walking hard in the desert, bending down from time to time to pick up supplies on the ground. He was carrying a heavy sack behind him, which contained all the things he picked up in the desert.
.
There is no doubt that this guy belongs to the scavenger group in the Shurima Desert, which is also a permanent group in the Shurima Desert. These scavengers are often dark and thin, which is caused by long-term sun exposure and malnutrition.
.
Their clothes are shabby and shabby, often made of various waste materials. They are put on the shoulders or tied around the waist, not only to protect themselves from the sun, but also to keep warm after the temperature drops sharply at night. Their faces are covered with wrinkles and their skin is rough.
This is the result of sandstorms and lack of moisture maintenance.
The life of these scavengers is very difficult, and they spend a lot of time every day searching for usable materials in the desert, which may be discarded metal fragments, plastic bottles, or even animal remains.
They use these materials in exchange for a meager income or to maintain their basic life. Their residences are often simple caves or temporary shacks. Although these shelters are simple, they are enough to withstand the wind, sand and cold in the desert.
This kind of life rhythm is monotonous and repetitive. Every morning and dusk are the best times for them to go out in search of supplies, because the temperature in the desert is relatively low at this time, which is more suitable for human activities. The rest of the time, they hide in their residences to escape the heat or cold.
Conserve your energy as much as possible.
In Lin Jiu's eyes, these scavengers are simply the best source of soldiers. The experience of scavenging has made these guys very tough. Moreover, they are also staunch supporters of the Shurima Empire and are looking forward to the arrival of an emperor in Shurima.
, leading the empire to rise again, isn't this the best supporter of Lin Jiu's founding power?
You know, the various forces in the Shurima desert are mixed. If you were not a staunch supporter of the Shurima Empire, you would have found a random force to join you. Although your life is in danger, at least you will live a good life. Be a scavenger.
, the dangers faced outside are no less than the power struggles.
Even if you are mining for those noble forces, your life will be easier than that of scavengers, at least you will not live a life of one meal and one meal. The scavengers can only earn money by picking up the aliens that move around in the Shurima desert.
The debris left by people survives.
Lin Jiu did not go down to communicate with the scavenger, but asked Winnie to fly in the direction he was going. If nothing else, there must be a large gathering of scavengers on the route in that direction. After the fall of the Shurima Empire,
After the resources in the Shurima desert were divided up by various forces, the native residents of Shurima were reduced to scavengers. They can still survive among many forces. The biggest reliance is unity.
At this time, the closest place to here, barely called a city-state, arrived here with a caravan. The things picked up by scavengers in the desert would not be of much value without these caravans.
They can pick up more than just debris in the desert. If they are lucky, they can pick up treasures. There is a special terrain in the desert called Sand Falls. As the name suggests, it is a waterfall formed by sand. The tide of yellow sand is carved out between the rocks.
The passage forms a magnificent sand waterfall on the edge of the cliff.
According to tradition, the Shurima people would throw their beloved objects into the sand flow as gifts to those who ascended. Therefore, the sand waterfall has become a favorite paradise for treasure hunters.
Taliyah, who followed the caravan to the city-state, almost forgot how much she missed the hearth-like warmth of Shurima. Hundreds of people gathered together, joining hands to form clouds, sweating like rain, and talking.
They talked and laughed loudly, bargained, swore, and so on very quickly. When outsiders saw this, they would always think that they had been quarreling.
Taliyah landed at Belgun, the only port in Shurima, but she did not stay in Belgun for long. Several Noxian warships parked in the port reminded her of bad memories.
It made her very nervous. She could believe that if the war-mad Noxus took action against Shurima, her hometown would probably be baptized by war again.
Wekaula was once a tribal camp built on an abandoned old city. It was just a resting place for travelers and planeswalkers. But now, with the increase in the number of residents, this place has taken on a different kind of vitality.
.
The market in the city is drowned in color and noise, and the air is filled with strong smells. Arched canvas awnings next to each other almost cover the entire street. The sound of fierce bargaining, mixed with the pungent smell of spices and barbecue, is everywhere.
Audible.
Hundreds of people were crowded on the wide street leading to the ruined city wall. Wizened old people who looked like wise men sat under the porch and smoked pipes, and the fragrant smoke evaporated like mist.
Taliyah saw the markings of many different tribes. The ones she could recognize were Babe, Zagaia and Yeshenye, but there were more than a dozen others she had never seen before. When she left Shurima,
I still remember that they were still sworn enemies, but now they are sitting together peacefully like comrades on the battlefield. Unity is the last weapon of the Shurima people still remaining in the desert.
Wekaura is special. The mother of the desert emperor Azir was born here. The young emperor also generously bestowed grace on the people here. The gardens on the upper floors are filled with plants brought from all over the empire.
Flowers, surrounded by colorful colors and wonderful fragrances. Groups of high towers decorated with silver and jade, cool water gurgling from the great temple and running along the elevated canals day and night. People all naively believe that the beauty of this place is
Bliss never ends.
But the past thousand years have stripped the city of its flesh and bones, leaving only its skeleton of stone, and half of its glory has faded into ruins. These ruins were built over the past few hundred years by those who still live in the city.
It was built by people who are nostalgic for their hometown, and they stubbornly believe that the future of their hometown lies in the revival of the past.
Skilled craftsmen designed structures that are an obvious imitation of Shurima's former glory. The city walls were once famous for their square-shaped granite, but now they are composed of timber and crudely hewn stone.
