Having endless mineral deposits means that the swarm can find enough resources there.
There are also various rare birds and animals that never appear in the outside world, which means that the insect swarm can obtain more types of genes there.
Moreover, since this oasis has been given the adjective "legendary", it means that it is definitely not easy to find.
In Xue Hua's view, this is a natural gene treasure house and a good base location that is both secretive and exploitable!
So, he quickly concentrated his attention, and in the main hive mind, he asked Isa to start recording what Kane said next word for word.
"About this legendary oasis, humans have very few valuable records. Many people who claim to have seen it in the desert are actually just hallucinations or mirages caused by the hot weather.
Among these records, the most valuable and authentic one is the manuscript recorded by a group of sand people who lost their way in a sandstorm before the establishment of Lu Gaoyin.
Human writing at that time was not the same as today, and the meanings were also very different, so the manuscript that was finally found only deciphered part of the content.
But just this part of the code that has been deciphered, and the information revealed in it, is enough to arouse people's imagination."
Kane stood up, walked towards the book covered by an oilcloth, and quickly pulled out a very old pamphlet with a gray cover.
Then, he returned to his seat and sat down, carefully opened the book with very gentle movements, held the spine of the book with one hand, placed the other on the pages, and read slowly in his mouth.
"Those sand people wrote in their records, 'Just when we were about to die of thirst and exhaustion, an oasis suddenly appeared under us. Its appearance was so without warning that all of us thought it was...
The god of death set a trap for us...but a few of us finally couldn't bear the torment of thirst, and they drank the water in the pool!
We regret it now, we also have to drink that water, otherwise we will die before them...
We explored this miraculous oasis of vast woodlands and jewel-like lakes...
One of us picked up some sparkling stones next to a large protruding rock. He said he would take the stones back as a souvenir...
Today we met some furry cat-faced people. We almost got into a fight with them, but they didn’t seem to want to fight with us. They just followed us from a distance in the jungle around us...
When we got up, we were surprised to find that we were sleeping on the sand again. Everything around us had returned to what it was before we entered the oasis, as if the oasis was just a long dream... We were extremely lost.
.....
The companion who picked up the stone, the sparkling stone he carried is still there! Everything we experienced is real! But the oasis has disappeared...'
The record ends here, and the "gleaming stone" was finally discovered in a tomb together with the record by the explorers sent by Lu Gaoyin.
After identification, the stone was an associated mine of some very precious gemstone, and Lu Gaoyin's royal family began to search for the legendary oasis."
Kane picked up the cup on the blanket in front of him and took a sip, the expression on his face was a bit unpredictable.
"What happened next? They obviously didn't find it, right? Otherwise, the oasis wouldn't be just a legend."
Seeing Kane stop, Xue Hua suddenly asked anxiously.
"Yes, they didn't find it... But later, something big seemed to happen in the oasis, causing some cat people to walk out of the oasis and enter the desert to survive. Lu Gaoyin's royal family and some scholars once tried to find those
The cat people knew the way to the oasis, but at this moment, the invasion of hell began.
Since almost all the cat tribes have been contaminated by the hell energy and have become unable to communicate at all and are extremely aggressive, this matter has been left alone."
"Nothing at all? Then how did you know how to view this map?" Warev even forgot to drink his favorite wine. This mysterious mystery has completely aroused his interest.
"During the battle against hell, a professional once discovered another map like the one discovered by Xue Jinjin. That map was obviously another part of this entire map.
At that time, the Horadrim mages studied the map. They believed that the entire map was divided into three parts, respectively controlled by the three largest tribes that came out of the oasis. What is depicted on the map
The path should be the road leading to the legendary oasis.
However, the map at that time was completely lost in the war. Of course, some people said that the map was secretly collected by Lu Gaoyin's royal family, but this statement has not been proven by the Lu Gaoyin royal family.
.....”
Having said this, Kane shook his head, handed the map back to Xue Hua, and then said to him in a regretful tone: "Xue, judging from your appearance, you really hope to find that oasis, right? But it's a pity.
, the whereabouts of one of these three maps has long been unknown, so you’d better not have too much hope.”
Xue Hua shook his head with some disappointment, took the map in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't find any valuable clues from the incomplete pictures.
Anyway, Cheng Gu was happy and had no regrets in defeat, so he let Dehaka stay here with this thing to look for it. Anyway, he originally planned to leave a team here to collect various genes.
Just think of this as a side mission.
He smiled, stuffed the map back into the inventory, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Warev on the side also seemed a little disappointed. He thought they would discover some big secret soon.
"Okay, I've finished listening to the story. Let's go to bed early today. We have to get up early tomorrow morning and be on our way."
He adjusted his mood, grabbed a piece of vegetable cake from the dinner plate and stuffed it into his mouth, then turned around and opened the curtain, said good night to Xue Hua and others, and left.
...
In the early morning of the next day, a misty red mist floated out from the mysterious sand dunes, covering the entire caravan assembly point.
But the merchants who traveled between the Eastern and Western Kingdoms all year round did not delay their travels.
Warev's caravan set off again very early and left this assembly point on the edge of the mysterious sand dunes.
They need to cross the edge of the dunes within three days and enter the cutoff desert that follows.
The mysterious sand dunes are too dangerous, and no one wants to stay in such a ghost place for too long.
The size of the caravan has now expanded a lot, because the medium-sized caravan and small caravan that had spent the night with them in the assembly point have also been merged.
Warriv allowed them to follow for some protection, but of course, there was a price.
Before the caravan set off, Xue Hua left the assembly point alone and called Dehaka out from behind a mesa.
He gave it two tasks. The first task was to lead the insect swarm troops to hunt monsters with flesh and blood and essence that could be absorbed in the mysterious sand dunes, and to leave enough of the essence obtained for Abathur's research.
Another mission is about that map...
Xue Hua handed the residual map to Dehaka and told it to just look for clues about the legendary oasis, and there was no need to deliberately explore it.
After completing the mission, Xue Hua left Dehaka with an insect swarm of about ten thousand troops and some worker bees, so that it could be replenished in time when the insect swarm suffered losses.
By the way, he also left two thunder beasts to it, because the combat effectiveness of some creatures here cannot be simply evaluated by the level of psionic energy (the giant beast discovered before had a value of only
It has 3.1, but it is impossible for a professional around level 33 to beat it), so leaving the Ultralisk can ensure that Dehaka's exploration insect swarm is strong enough to deal with most prey.
After doing all this, Xue Hua returned to the caravan and prepared to continue his journey.
