Chapter 555: My experiences in the northwest [asking for double monthly votes]
Hou Zi smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Are you heading to Loulan City?"
The leading man glared at the young man, but he had no choice but to say, "Hello! I am Shajia from the Sha family in Loulan City. If you are going to Loulan, you can come with us; if not, we can also provide you with clean water and a bottle of water."
A sand camel."
In the Kuaixu Desert, sand camels are people's only means of transportation, and they are also an important part of measuring a person's wealth. Although sand camels are very common here, they are not to the point where they can be given away casually like cattle and sheep, but they have been around for a long time.
Ordinary people living here understand the benefits of making friends with a practitioner. Regardless of whether they are used in the future, it is a cause and effect.
This cause and effect can make practitioners treat mortals more kindly. Even if they reach out to rescue other places, the meaning is the same; every desert people does this, then when they encounter danger, there will always be practitioners passing by to take action. This is them
Simple values.
Hou Zi was not polite, "I'm going to Loulan, so let's go all the way."
The young man quickly led an empty sand camel. Generally, in a camel team like this, there must be a spare empty camel ready, just in case of any unexpected events.
Hou Zi approached the camel team. At this time, everyone was sure that this person was not an undead creature in disguise, so they naturally put down their bows and swords and returned to the normal walking order.
Seeing that although this person was dressed as an ordinary inland person, his whole body was spotless. Shaka knew of course that this person must be a spiritual warrior. They have mysterious power within them, so they are not afraid of wind and sand erosion.
"Is this your first time to Loulan?"
Hou Zi smiled and said, "Yes, this is my first time to see such a desert. I was not prepared enough and made everyone laugh. I am Hou Zi, from the south. Please give me your advice."
The young man couldn't help but interrupt, "Are you a warrior?"
Hou Zi took off his hood and looked like a young boy with a tough head and a tough brain. He was fourteen or five years old, which is the most energetic stage in his life. He also felt fond of such a simple boy.
"Yeah, I heard that there are a lot of undead monsters here, so I came over to see if I could kill a few of them without wasting my life's learning."
Now that we have reached a certain place, all kinds of things about the northwest begin to unfold in Hou Zi's eyes.
"Why are so many people still unable to leave their homeland deep in the desert? As far as I know, the countries in the northwest actually do not prevent you from entering the country. If you move a little further inland, even a few hundred miles away, the living environment will be much better."
The man smiled and didn't want to answer, because the thoughts of ordinary people are different from those of practitioners, but the child whose nickname is Shitou and whose name is Shashi still doesn't understand this.
"Then what? Our generation will retreat a few hundred miles, and the next generation will retreat a few hundred miles again. There are legitimate reasons, and they are all for the sake of everyone's living environment. So where can we retreat to after the past few hundred years?
We will not retreat! We will never retreat! That is why this land belongs to humans and will not be occupied by undead creatures as a matter of course.
Only if we don’t retreat will someone come to help us! If we don’t help ourselves, who will come to help us?”
Hou Zi was a little surprised. He had to say that although these words were very simple, they were the irrefutable truth of nature!
Xiao Shitou raised his head proudly, "So, there is Loulan City here, and this is still the territory of mankind. If it weren't for the persistence of every generation here, Loulan City would have been gone long ago, including Wuqu City and Baishi City behind it.
,many, many…”
Hou Zi touched the top of his head and said, "You're right, that's the truth!"
He felt that he was in the right place to help people who were worthy of help. Maybe Master Yu Zhengxing thought so, right?
This topic is too heavy, and its implications are endless, so there is no need to discuss it.
"How do the locals make a living in this desert?"
Shaka smiled honestly, "Master Dao, you haven't been to Loulan City, have you? Loulan City is originally an oasis with rich underground water resources. It is the gathering place of local nomads, so there is no problem in maintaining drinking water for thousands of people."
Yes, the northwest is indeed dry, but that doesn’t mean it won’t rain.”
Shashi likes to show off, and then his third uncle said: "Loulan is a good place, not as outsiders imagine, nor as barren as the sand dunes and rivers we walked along the way.
We have camels, sheep, and cattle, so we have no shortage of meat; we also have a small amount of arable land, which although limited, can provide some food and vegetables; there are also a lot of minerals in the desert, well, we haven't cultivated much of this.
Animal skins, rose stones, ground fire oil, ginseng, cistanche deserticola, frost jade, diamonds... which one is not a popular commodity in the interior?"
Hou Zi nodded, relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on sea to eat sea, relying on sand to eat sand, where is the real barren land? As long as you are willing to work hard, you can feed people anywhere.
Shaka introduced, "In Loulan, there are about 6,000 local permanent residents, and thousands of people come from the mainland to take risks and make a fortune. In the Kuexu Desert, as long as you dare to go out and work hard, you will definitely make a fortune. Of course,
It also depends on luck. This is a place where you risk your life for the rest of your life. Adventurers generally stay less than five years and either achieve their goals and choose to leave, or they leave their lives here."
Hou Tzu raised his eyebrows, "Nearly ten thousand people? This is not a small scale. What about those practitioners? Are they also hanging out with you?"
Shaka shook his head, "No, they have their own area, which is also the best area in Loulan City; but most of the time they don't stay in the city, but go out endlessly to patrol and kill those who want to
Undead infiltrating the interior.
Therefore, we will leave a copy of the best things in Loulan City for them. Everyone, even if we know that they may not care about these things, just like after we go back this time, we will send a copy of the freshest fruits and vegetables.
This is voluntary and no one is forcing it.”
Hou Zi found it a bit interesting. The natives here are very smart. They know what they are doing and who is protecting their lives and property. It seems that the relationship is going well?
Walking and chatting all the way, it was just like when he first arrived in Lizhihai, there were too many things to learn; he would never think too highly of himself just because of his status as a cultivator, and could ignore those ordinary people.
wisdom.
Because this place would also become his battlefield, he had a hunch that this was not a mission that could be completed in a short time.
Therefore, he needs to fully understand everything here. Every detail may be a panacea for his life.
In the Kuaixu Desert, there are not only low-level undead creatures that penetrate the interior, but also mid-to-high-level creatures at the same level as human golden elixirs. These things are not equivalent to what he said.
