"...that's fine."
Zhao Yuan only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Although the long-legged girl lost her initial hostility, Zhao Yuan could still feel the arrogance in her fake smile. However, Zhao Yuan still decided to go with the girl.
Being idle is also idle, and being able to experience exotic customs is not a bad thing. After all, traveling alone in the endless desert grasslands is extremely boring.
Seeing Zhao Yuan and the girl walking forward side by side, several bearded men looked at each other and showed helpless wry smiles.
The group of people walked through the gradually sparse trees, and in less than three hours, they walked out of the black forest. Beyond the black forest, there was an endless undulating grassland. On the grassland, there were occasionally some towering trees.
Zhao Yuan vaguely remembered that he had been here with the blood barbarian cattle herd.
This is already the edge of the Black Forest.
While walking, the long-legged girl with blond hair and blue eyes kept chatting with Zhao Yuan. Soon, Zhao Yuan realized that things were not as simple as walking together. This blond girl was inseparable from almost every problem.
Water City.
It was already very obvious that this slave girl was taking the opportunity to inquire about Blackwater City.
Although he knew that the girl had evil intentions, Zhao Yuan still answered all questions. After all, everyone knew what he knew and there was nothing to hide. If he could hide it, it would arouse the girl's hostility.
After Zhao Yuan answered all questions, the relationship between the two parties seemed to be very good.
Soon, Zhao Yuan knew that the blond girl was the sister of the leader of the Tatar tribe. Her real name was Farewell My Concubine Huozhen. She also had a very Qinhua name called "Lan Xin". According to her, she
She likes the culture of the Qin Dynasty, so she came up with this name herself.
The other four were Lan Xin's guards. Among them, the big man who Zhao Yuan was afraid of was the chief of the guard and had a very high status in the tribe.
As for the other three guards, they are also masters who are good at fighting and are one of the best in a hundred.
Lan Xin is a girl with multiple personalities. She is lively at one moment, quiet at another, and occasionally shows a cold and ferocious nature like a poisonous snake.
Zhao Yuan chatted with Lan Xin in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and by the way learned about the Cinu ethnic group.
Of course, Zhao Yuan was more interested in Lan Xin's long bow. Unfortunately, Lan Xin never used a long bow for hunting because she was not needed for hunting at all.
Everyone has been walking on the edge of the Black Forest from beginning to end, because there are forests and grasslands only close to the Black Forest, and leaving the edge of the Black Forest is the endless desert.
Compared with the heat and humidity in the Black Forest, this area near the edge of the desert grassland is extremely dry, arid, dry, and the natural environment is extremely harsh. There are rugged trails everywhere, some places are barren of grass, sparsely populated, and the mountains are cut with axes and rugged rocks.
The most bizarre thing is that occasionally there will be mudslides rushing from the black forest without warning and disappearing in the yellow and green desert...
During the day, the semi-desert grassland is steaming with steam, but at night, it is bone-chillingly cold. The temperature difference is so large that even a strong physique like Zhao Yuan feels it is a torture.
What makes Zhao Yuan incredible is that in the face of the scorching heat during the day and the cold at night, both Lan Xin and the four bearded men seemed to be fine...
Obviously, they have adapted to this cruel climate.
Everyone walked leisurely through the desert and grassland.
On the first night, everyone spent the night together near the black forest.
The next night, dozens of miles away from the Black Forest, there were no trees for shelter, so a few big men built a tent for Lan Xin using the materials they brought with them. Zhao Yuan did not dare to take the tent from Xumijie, so he had to accompany her.
The four big men sat beside the campfire all night. Zhao Yuan entered a state of "quietness", making his body almost no different from a hibernating animal, and he was still able to withstand the cold night.
On the third day, the five people arrived at an ancient desert town.
This desert town is located on an oasis. This oasis is formed by a river flowing out of the black forest. The river is not big. It is less than ten miles deep into the desert before it is swallowed up by the vast yellow sand.
This short river has given birth to a vitality in this cruel natural environment.
Lan Xin's four horses were fostered in a desert town. After picking up the horses, the five of them did not stay in the desert town. Instead, they set off immediately after taking a short rest.
Zhao Yuan originally planned to buy a spur horse as a mount in the desert town, but was stopped by the scornful Lan Xin, so Zhao Yuan had to give up. Later, after asking, he found out that Lan Xin looked down on the inferior horses in the desert town.
Lan Xin promised that as long as Zhao Yuan came to their tribe, she would give Zhao Yuan the best spur horse.
Since there were only four horses, the five people led the horses and walked in the desert. Fortunately, as the terrain changed, the temperature at night gradually became warmer, and the earth became more and more green.
In addition to yellow sand, you can occasionally see fertile grasslands, and more herbivores are active.
Soon, seven days passed.
Through these seven days of communication, Zhao Yuan's relationship with several bearded men has become harmonious, and the topic with Lan Xin is not limited to Blackwater City.
That night, everyone found a ruins to escape the cold wind at night.
This ruins should be an ancient stone dwelling. It is unknown how many years it has been abandoned. In addition to the ruins of the walls, the wooden beams on the roof have been completely broken, the rubble has fallen to the ground, and weeds are overgrown.
"Zhao Yuan, are the warriors of the Great Qin Empire really as powerful as the legends?" After lighting the bonfire, everyone gathered around the bonfire to barbecue food, and a big man asked casually.
"Very powerful, I am no match." Zhao Yuan almost subconsciously thought of the invincible black-faced god and answered without thinking.
"Have you ever fought with a warrior?" Kuta, the captain of the guard, was stunned. He didn't expect Zhao Yuan to answer so quickly.
"Yes." Zhao Yuan had already said the words and couldn't take them back, so he had to bite the bullet and said.
"Haha, tell me who you are talking to?" Several big men smiled and thought it was Zhao Yuan bragging.
"Black-faced God." Zhao Yuan said with a bitter smile.
"Black-faced God!" Kuta stood up suddenly and looked at Zhao Yuan with wide eyes. The other three big men also looked shocked.
"Yes." Zhao Yuan picked up the long knife in his hand, stroked it gently, and said, "This long knife is the weapon of the Black-faced God."
"You...have you really had sex with a black-faced god?" Kuta looked at Zhao Yuan with an incredible look on his face.
"It should be so. The first thing I felt when I saw this long sword was that it shouldn't be a weapon used by ordinary martial arts figures." Lan Xin, who changed her clothes after leaving the wall, glanced at the long sword in Zhao Yuan's hand.
knife.
"It seems that I overestimated him. The Black-faced God only has a false reputation. Presumably, the Hammer God of Blackwater City is not that strong." Kuta looked at the sky in the distance and sighed, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Obviously, this big man used Zhao Yuan's strength to infer the strength of the Black-faced God and the Great Hammer God.
Zhao Yuan snorted coldly. He felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw that the big man looked down on the black-faced god.
Although Zhao Yuan suffered losses at the hands of the Black-faced God, he still respected the Black-faced God from the bottom of his heart. After all, the Black-faced God gave him a wide berth at the beginning.
"Zhao Yuan, you can use the long sword of the black-faced god as a weapon, so it must be good. Are you interested in competing with me?" The big man immediately sensed Zhao Yuan's dissatisfaction.
"Respect is worse than obeying orders!" Zhao Yuanyuan felt unhappy because he had affected the reputation of the black-faced god, and immediately stood up with a long black-backed sword.
