Xue Hua took his hand out of the pile of items on the cockroach's back and held a tattered fur scroll in his palm.
He first asked Isa to test the scroll for psychic fluctuations and toxins. After confirming that there were no problems, he untied the string tied to the scroll.
He unfolded the scroll in his hand and looked at it carefully by the light of the wooden board ignited by the explosive agent thrown by the catman.
However, the strange content on this scroll made him feel baffled.
It was just a hodgepodge of messy lines, shapeless images, and some kind of ancient strange text whose meaning I couldn't understand at all.
Just when he was puzzled by the contents of the scroll, Warev finally rushed over with the professionals and caravan guards.
"Master! Are you okay?!"
Naturally, the first ones to pounce were the two worried little mercenaries.
Funya is still blaming herself, feeling that she should not have left the caravan.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine. Don't you know what I'm capable of?" Xue Hua stretched out his hand and used a double head-touching attack, finally calming the two girls down.
Kane and Warev, who came up later, stood aside and watched this scene with smiles on their faces. They knew that it was not appropriate to disturb them at this time.
However, when Kane's eyes glanced at the fur scroll in Xue Hua's hand, his expression suddenly became solemn.
He walked forward in a few steps, patted Xue Hua's shoulder gently, then pointed to the fur scroll in his hand and said, "Can you show me this?"
"Well, of course." Xue Hua, who was comforting and eating tofu, felt a little unhappy because of being interrupted, but thinking of Kane's learned reputation, he felt that he might know what this strange scroll was, so he
He happily handed over the scroll.
After Kane took the scroll, he did not look at the scroll directly from the side that Xue Hua was looking at. Instead, he turned it over, approached a firelight, and looked through the back of the scroll.
The front of the scroll made a slight hissing sound under the heat of the flame, and traces of green smoke slowly emerged from the scroll.
About ten seconds later, a magical scene happened.
I saw that on the back of the scroll, which was originally empty, a rather exquisite topographic map slowly emerged!
Seeing this scene, Warev who was standing aside also became interested. He called a few managers and asked them to direct the guards and professionals to clean up the battlefield, and then walked towards Kane.
"Mr. Kane, what on earth is this?" Xue Hua raised his eyebrows and looked at the map that appeared on the back of the scroll in surprise, feeling a little unbelievable.
This kind of confidentiality method can not only prevent people from detecting psychic fluctuations, but also cover up the true secret of the scroll very secretly. Its confidentiality is really high-level.
But why use such advanced security methods on a map that looks mostly incomplete?
"I...I just gave it a try, but I didn't expect it to actually exist..." Kane touched the beard on his chin, his tone filled with disbelief.
"What kind of map is this? Lord Kane, please satisfy our curiosity!" Warev also begged. A businessman who walks in the desert all year round cannot be uninterested in things like maps.
And this map, hidden in such a clever way, has really aroused his thirst for knowledge.
"Let's talk about it after we go back. This matter should not be made public here..." However, Kane had no intention of explaining at all, but just turned around and glanced at the man who was slowly walking towards the battlefield with his people.
Leaders of the other two caravans.
Warev instantly understood his worries and knew that this matter might be of great importance and should not be known to others.
So, he nodded towards Kane and took the initiative to greet the two caravan leaders.
"Take it, Xue. When we get back to the caravan, I will tell you the legend of this map."
Kane put the map back into Xue Hua's hand, whispered something in his ear, and then walked towards the caravan as if nothing had happened.
Xue Hua looked at the strange map in his hand that had completely changed, with an interesting expression on his face.
I didn't expect that I could harvest such a rare item by casually killing a tribe of cat people who came to seek death.
Judging from Kane's cautious attitude towards this map, this shouldn't be some weird cat-man treasure map.
A treasure map couldn't arouse Kane's interest and reaction so much.
So where is this map leading to?
Moreover, why did it explode from a group of monster projections?
If it is something particularly important, shouldn't it be taken with me when I enter hell?
Xue Hua thought hard, but he couldn't think of a reason until his brain started to hurt from thinking about it.
"Forget it, don't worry about it, you'll find out later!"
Xue Hua shook his head and smiled. Thinking about this kind of thing is not what he is good at, especially now that he doesn't even know the map of where this thing is.
So he simply gave up and dismissed the insect swarm, then took the hands of the two little girls and walked towards the inside of the assembly point.
The battle loss statistics and various battlefield cleanup tasks were completed quickly because of the experienced person in charge, Warev.
Fortunately, since the swarm could be said to have single-handedly killed all the invading cat people this time, the human casualties were not too heavy.
There were only two unlucky sentries, who were quietly touched by the scouts sent by the cat people.
However, in terms of material losses, the medium-sized caravan still suffered some losses due to its relatively outer position and the use of explosive agents during the Catmen's attack. Two medium-sized cargo caravans were blown up by explosive agents.
But this loss was still within the acceptable range of the owner of the medium-sized caravan.
Frankly speaking, judging from the corpses of catmen on the battlefield, this was definitely a very large-scale attack.
If there were no insect swarm in front, then among the three caravans present, only the Warif caravan with a large number of professionals would be able to avoid greater losses.
If the other two caravans can save their lives, it will be considered a victory!
So for the result of just losing a little cargo, the person in charge of the medium-sized caravan simply felt that he was lucky.
He repeatedly expressed to Warev that he hoped to meet the legendary "Master Xue" so that he could express his gratitude in person.
At the same time, I also became more determined in my heart to embrace this thick thigh.
After taking care of the main matters, Warev handed over the remaining trivial matters to his subordinates, and then he couldn't wait to come to the caravan where Xue Hua and the others lived.
In the caravan, Xue Hua, Kane and two little girls had already laid out a small table of food and wine, waiting for his arrival.
"Wow! So rich! Are all these dishes made by Miss Funia?" Warev laughed twice, took off the bulging wine bag from his waist, and sat down cross-legged on the blanket on the side.
"It wasn't made by my family Funia, could it be made by you?" Xue Hua rolled his eyes, reached out and took a piece of mixed vegetable pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, and then showed an intoxicated expression on his face.
“It’s so delicious!”
"Haha, okay, okay, now that Warev is here, let's talk while eating. Xue, where is the map?"
Kane smiled, nodded to Warev, then stretched out his hand and took the map handed over by Xue Hua.
"This map has actually been circulated in the desert since a very distant period. It is the location of a legendary oasis..."
Kane spread the map in front of him, touched his beard, and spoke loudly.
"The legendary oasis? Wait, I seem to have heard of this legend too..."
Warev was stunned, and suddenly a strange look appeared on his face: "But shouldn't that be just a legend?"
"In fact, Warev, that is a real thing. Before Lugoin was established, our ancestors, the sand people, once accidentally found that oasis in the desert... It is said that there is endless fresh water like that.
Rich pastures, inexhaustible mineral resources, and various rare birds and animals that have never appeared in the outside world..."
There was a thoughtful look in Kane's eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
But he didn't know that what he just said had whetted the appetite of Xue Hua, the leader of the Zerg clan!
If the legendary oasis is really as described by Kane, with so many natural resources.
Wouldn't that provide the Swarm with a perfect second reality base location?
