Xiaozhu picked up the porridge and placed it in front of the wind chime, and said very relaxedly. After speaking, he didn't forget to turn around and make a face to Ye Feng.
"Xiaozhu, you won't blame me for bringing you here this time!"
Feng Ling always felt insecure and said leisurely.
"How is that possible? Xiaozhu is an orphan. If he hadn't met the young lady, he would have died a long time ago. As long as he can follow the young lady, Xiaozhu is not afraid of anything. Now we have little brother Master Ye Feng, so what are we afraid of!"
"puff!"
Xiaozhu's address to Ye Feng made Feng Ling laugh. Ye Feng also rolled his eyes. What a mess.
Xiaozhu's words made Feng Ling feel more relaxed. He stopped talking about those sensitive topics and started to tell Ye Feng about the deserted land.
The horror of the desolate land is not the natural disasters on the surface, but the combination of its own geographical characteristics and natural disasters is the most terrifying thing.
Because there is no map at all, the terrain is constantly changing. Although there are no mountains, huge abyss formed by huge ravines can be seen everywhere.
Once encountering stormy and snowy weather, it will be extremely difficult to travel. Because of the plains, it is difficult to find those ravines in time. Otherwise, you may fall into an abyss. The risk to the pathfinders ahead is extremely high.
The most annoying thing is the foggy weather. I dare not move at all and can only camp in place and wait. Therefore, the journey of more than a thousand miles usually takes more than half a month, and a month is also common.
After passing a certain area, there will be a large mountain range. There is no such extreme weather there. It could be used as a place for repairs and replenishing water sources, wood, etc., but there is a bandit's village.
The bandits will never let go of any caravan. Fighting is inevitable, but it is not always a matter of life and death. Most of the time, they just give up when they see fit.
There are also caravans that are unlucky and consume too much living supplies, so they directly offer money to buy the way, and the two sides make peace in exchange for some supplies. Anyway, it would not be surprising if anything happens here. After all, no one wants to die if they can survive.
Sure enough, within an hour, the caravan encountered heavy rain. The pouring rain was beyond description, just like water from a faucet.
The water on the ground reached the ankles in the blink of an eye. Amidst the curses of the guards, the caravan had to stop moving forward.
However, while the guards were cursing, they discovered something surprising and strange. All vehicles were not exposed to rain for several meters around them. The vehicles seemed to be sheltered from the rain, and all the rainwater separated by itself.
No one is a fool. If anyone doesn't squeeze in to such a natural shelter from the rain, of course there is no need to squeeze in. The place is spacious.
There were some unlucky people who were far away from the vehicles, but the rainstorm came too suddenly, and they were soaked in the rain before they had time to escape.
However, these people were quite open-minded. They just cursed a few words about the thief and started laughing and joking.
Some people even took off their clothes and took a shower directly in the heavy rain, which made a few women laugh and scold them.
The heavy rain came and went quickly. Within half an hour, the clouds stopped and the rain stopped and the sun shone brightly. However, the ground was already muddy and it was impossible to dry out for the time being.
The caravan did not stop and immediately moved forward again. After all, the muddy ground did not affect the movement of the vehicles, it just caused some hardship for the guards.
Later, Ye Feng really saw the weirdness of the climate here. It was faster than changing his face. In just one day, he had experienced heavy rain, scorching sun, hail, and strong winds.
Fortunately, the house-suppressing charm really played a huge role, and these things did not cause any harm to the caravan.
The guards already knew the reason. Every time the weather changed, instead of cursing, they cheered and teased. The atmosphere was very lively and morale was boosted.
Five days later, the caravan had reached the very center of this deserted area, when it suddenly stopped.
"To inform the princess, there is a fog miasma ahead. The scout team sent has lost two teammates. In order to reduce casualties, Commander Wu suggested to camp on the spot and wait for the fog to dissipate before setting off."
A guard came to report.
"Okay, we have enough supplies this time, so there is no need to take too many risks, let's set up camp on the spot!"
Feng Chime gave the order without any hesitation.
Generally speaking, in order to rush for time, caravans will choose to continue moving forward when encountering this kind of foggy miasma, because as long as they send out scouts to explore those ravines and warn them in time, there will be no threat to the caravan.
But it was very bad for the scouts, because the fog was so thick that they could not see clearly under their feet. Once they encountered a giant ravine, it was easy to fall into it. Once they fell, there was no chance of survival.
Therefore, when encountering such a natural disaster, the scouts are the most troublesome. They usually cost some lives, but they have to do it for the benefit of the entire caravan.
"Woof woof woof!"
Just as Feng Chime finished speaking, the little wolf who had been sleeping soundly at her feet suddenly sat up and barked at Ye Feng.
"Oh! I forgot, little wolf is the best guide."
Ye Feng laughed and said.
"No! It's too dangerous. We don't lose this little time!"
Feng Chime didn't bother to pay attention to him and directly denied it.
"Sister, it's really okay. With Xiaolang's ability, this is not child's play. We just need to ask the scouts to follow us and put up warning signs."
"No, what if something happens? There is no regret medicine in the world!"
Feng Ling firmly disagreed, with a hint of annoyance on his face.
"Hehe! It's really okay. Little Wolf and I have swam across the River of the Dead, so this bit of mist is nothing."
Ye Feng said with a smile.
He really didn't want to waste too much time, because he had heard from Feng Chime that this kind of fog usually lasted for several days, and many caravans were delayed until they ran out of supplies because of this kind of weather.
"What? You..."
Ye Feng just said it casually, but Feng Ling was so surprised that his mouth opened into an "O" shape.
"Well!"
Ye Feng knew he had spilled the beans, and he couldn't explain it clearly. He just called out to Little Wolf and jumped out of the car.
Ye Feng's words really shocked the wind chimes. The river of the dead is also called Immortal Budu, which means that even immortals dare not touch it.
She didn't know when exactly this guy went to the River of the Dead, but she knew he would never lie. She really didn't know what kind of freak this guy was.
The foggy area is actually only about fifty miles long, and with Little Wolf leading the way, it is a piece of cake to pass through it, perfectly avoiding all the ravines without any loss.
The rest of the journey went smoothly, but the weather was windy, rainy, frosty and snowy, which did not have much impact on the caravan.
It must be due to good luck that there was no thunderstorm. The caravan passed the first area without any danger. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
