From Bergun to Kenese, and then to Wenbo, Lux and Ino have seen the desert scenery, and have seen several large desert storms - but they haven't been to the point where they need to be carefully avoided.
?
Although Scarash looks a little thin, he actually walks steadily and weighs a lot. When encountering a storm, all he has to do is lie down on the ground, lower his head, and wait for the storm to pass.
"Don't underestimate Desert Storm." Kalya obviously understood what Lux meant, "What you saw before can only be regarded as a small storm. It is two thousand miles west of Wayne Bo. The terrain is flat, with no ups and downs, and there are no storms.
As soon as it rises, it means moving hills and filling ravines. Sand dunes three to five hundred feet high can move hundreds of feet sideways in an instant. If you really encounter such a storm, you want to survive it by burying your head... Scarash is not enough.
, that would be full of giant beasts.”
Hearing what Kalya said, Lux finally nodded clearly, and then together with Ino, they found the scavenger carrying a huge bag.
Although the scavenger was bargaining with a stall owner, his eyes always glanced left and right from time to time. When he saw Lux and Ino coming straight towards him, his expression instantly became awkward.
.
"This old man." Although Lux was a little curious about why everyone met by chance, and the scavenger seemed to be afraid when he looked at her, she still leaned down and greeted him with a smile, "I hope to say hello to you.
Ask about something."
As soon as Lux spoke, not only did the scavenger freeze in place as if he had been hit by a restraining spell, but the surrounding antique vendors also raised their brows and vaguely gathered around Lux.
Everyone looked full of hostility.
"No retail! No retail!" After being stunned for a moment, the scavenger waved his arms and shouted to Lux, "Don't ask me, don't ask me, these are not retail. If you want to buy them, ask them, ask them
!”
As he said that, the old man stepped back and stretched out his hands, pointing at the antique dealer who had just bargained with him. His whole body curled up into a ball, as if he wanted to bury himself in the big bag of messy things behind his back.
Seeing this scene, Lux blinked in astonishment. Her eyes quickly swept over the unkind-looking antique dealers around her, and she quickly realized the crux of the problem.
Dare these people... do they regard themselves as business-stealers?
"I don't accept antiques!" Lux shook her head helplessly, "I just want to ask if there have been any sandstorms in the west recently."
Are there any sandstorms in the west?
Hearing Lux ask this question, the antique dealers seemed to be even more dissatisfied, and the scavenger who was timid before rarely raised his face, showing a sullen look mixed with grievance.
"You Picheng guys, don't you have any way to survive?" Among the antique dealers, a guy who used to look over everyone's heads from the back row to watch the fun because of his height and strength, separated from the crowd and came to Lux.
"Why, you even want to get involved in scavenging in the desert?"
Who wants to go into the desert to scavenge?
Well, wait a minute, I just asked the scavengers if there is a storm in the west. In their opinion, they want to take advantage of the storm to stop and snatch the livelihood of these scavengers in the desert?
Good guy, Lux could only call him good guy in her heart.
"I'm not going to hunt for antiques." She spread her hands helplessly, shook her head and said, "I want to start from here and go to Bu Mang!"
After listening to Lux's explanation, the strong man in front of him showed a look of disdain on his face. He glanced at Lux and Ino with the corners of his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and then exhaled heavily through his nose.
"Who are you lying to, Picheng guys?" He clenched his fists loudly and twisted his neck in a threatening manner, "You are really born with the talent to deceive people! Since Wei
From Enbo to Bumang, do you have to cross the two thousand miles of sand sea?"
"...That's true." Lux nodded and said, "I heard that when a storm breaks out in this sand sea, Scarash can't control himself, and I can't afford to hire many giant beasts, so I can only ask knowledgeable people for information.
It’s quite a situation.”
Hearing what Lux said, the strong man opposite was obviously stunned for a moment - he looked at Lux up and down again, and his expression became a little suspicious.
Behind him, a group of antique dealers also began to whisper to each other, discussing in low voices. In the buzzing sound, even though Lax had good ears, she could only roughly hear some scattered words.
"I'm not interested in antiques hidden in the sand. I heard that if you want to dig for gold in the sand, you have to wait until a storm comes. I don't need a storm to come, as long as the weather is clear and clear."
After hearing what Lux said, the strong man's expression finally changed, and the hostility in his expression gradually faded away, replaced by a bit of disbelief.
"Do you really want to set off from here to Bumang?" He repeated again, "That's two thousand miles of yellow sand. There is not an oasis on the way. Even if there is no desert storm, two people can't carry one Scarash.
The supplies you need!"
"Of course." Lark nodded without hesitation, "Of course I have my own methods for supplies and the like, so I don't need to worry about you!"
Hearing this, the strong man nodded with satisfaction, then strode up to the scavenger and put a big hand on his shoulder.
"Have there been any storms recently?"
"Not recently, not recently." The scavenger shook his head repeatedly, "There will be no wind in the next ten days."
"Did you hear that?" The scavenger let go. The strong man crossed his arms and said, "There will be no wind for ten days. If you really want to cross the desert, then set off quickly!"
"Thank you very much." Lux thanked her sincerely, "Also, is there any meat or vegetables sold here in Waynebo? I'll pay a high price!"
"Meat? Vegetables?" Hearing what Lux said, the strong man burst out laughing, "Yes, there are, but I'm afraid that a foreigner like you won't be used to them!"
"How can you know if you don't try?"
"Follow me!"
Seeing the strong man turn around and separate from the crowd, striding towards a corner of the market, with Lux following closely behind, Ino grabbed Scarash's chin and led it quickly to Lux's side.
"Is the news reliable?" Ino was obviously worried, "What if what they said is false..."
"Don't worry, the news is reliable." Lux chuckled, "Did you see it? They don't care if someone commits suicide and crosses the desert, they only care if someone robs their business - so, the scavenger said
It may not be accurate when the storm will suddenly rise and subside, but when he said it is calm and there is no wind, it is definitely calm and there is no wind."
Ino blinked and finally realized something: "We don't want to encounter the storm, and they don't want us to encounter it. Although everyone doesn't believe each other, the purpose is always the same!"
