Supply station No. 1-1 is the Ice Soul Group exploration team. It currently occupies the construction base. It is too troublesome to name it, so Xiaobing replaced the name with "better". The other three supply stations are supply stations No. 1-2.
Station, supply station No. 1-3, supply station No. 1-4, 1 represents the number closest to the 'entrance', which is the internal 'first circle' supply station, and the other numbers represent the names of characters.
After Li Zhi came back with Sha Qilin Ma Ya, he went directly into the 'interrogation room'.
It's said to be an interrogation room, but it's not as scary as I thought. It's just a large room like a warehouse. It's very empty and has nothing. There is a solitary sofa in the middle for the 'interrogator' to sit on.
.
"Now tell me, who are you, where are you from, and whose assignment you accepted to gather a herd of gray sand beasts to besiege humans. What is your purpose?" Li Zhi sat on the sofa and asked with a flat smile.
"Sand Qilin Ma Ya, desert royal family, I come from..." Ma Ya lay on the ground, feeling that his body was hollowed out. What he was most worried about was whether this human master would kill him and then take away himself.
The 'inner elixir' in the body.
It’s not just humans who are afraid of death. There are almost no advanced beings or intelligent races who are not afraid of ‘death’!
Li Zhi listened quietly without interrupting Sha Qilin's words. Similarly, he did not know how much of the other party's words were true and how much of them were false. After all, he had no idea about this desert and the situation in this desert.
In the exploratory stage.
Through the words of Sha Qilin Ma Ya, I learned that the so-called "desert royal family" like it is not small in this desert, and it is just one of this race.
Still a relatively ‘ordinary’ one!
Creatures like gray sand beasts are very numerous in this desert. The reason why it took a long time to gather over two million gray sand beasts is because there are relatively few gray sand beasts here.
And the scale is not very large. In the depths of the desert, a gray sand beast herd often has a population of more than two million.
However, the larger the group, the less likely it is to be summoned by it, because no matter what species it is, as long as the group reaches a certain number, there will definitely be born "wise men", who are the managers of the group. At that time, other races will think
It's not that easy to 'call' them to do something.
Small groups are easier to deal with because they are under pressure and must accept the call, and they are a bit stupid and don't know what resistance means.
"You mean, the entrance area is a barren land in the desert?" After Sha Qilin Ma Ya had finished speaking, Li Zhicai tilted his head and asked while thinking.
Sha Qilin Ma Ya said with certainty: "Yes, this area is very barren. Not only are there few resources, there are not many living things!"
"Then why does the 'entrance' appear here?" Li Zhi muttered and asked.
"..." Sha Qilin Ma Ya put his head on the floor helplessly. How could he know this?
"Xiaobing!" Li Zhi ignored it, but called out Xiaobing and said softly: "Are all the entrances to the folded space, on the opposite side, the 'Barren Land'?"
Xiaobing retrieved information, started to compare the known intelligence information, and then quickly came to a conclusion, saying: "There is a 65% chance that this situation will occur. Basically, the entrance to Africa and the interior of the Arctic entrance
As the boss said, it is a 'barren land', with not only few resources, but also very few species."
After a slight pause, he continued: "But there is an exception in the 'Pacific Seabed Portal'. Relatively speaking, it has abundant spiritual energy, high species level, strong combat effectiveness, and many resources. However, the Pacific Seabed Portal is not only for the earth.
There are great restrictions on the human side, and it is very difficult to enter. For the creatures inside the entrance to the folded space, the restrictions are even stronger. For the creatures inside, it is ten times more difficult for the creatures inside to get out than for humans to enter!"
So far, only three "accessible" entrances have been discovered on the earth. In addition to the Pacific Ocean entrance, the Arctic entrance and the African entrance are almost the same.
Li Zhi nodded and said: "The formation of the entrance may have absorbed huge resources and energy, which turned the side opposite the entrance into the so-called 'barren land', and this absorption cannot be completed in a day or two.
, it may take a long, long time to complete over time.”
Xiaobing blinked: "I can't rule out the possibility that the boss said it!"
If this is the case, then it is not difficult to explain why the deeper you travel into the folded space, the more resources there are, the richer the psychic energy, and the more diverse the species.
"Do you know how big this desert is?" Li Zhi looked at Sha Qilin Ma Ya, then returned to the topic and asked.
Sha Qilin Ma Ya thought for a while and said: "It should be very big. Anyway, I have never walked out!"
Li Zhi frowned and said, "Use specific figures to describe it. I don't understand how big you mean it is!"
"...In your human terms, it's probably several million kilometers away!" Sand Qilin Ma Ya said weakly.
"Humans? Have you seen other humans?" Li Zhi asked, staring at it.
Sha Qilin Ma Ya lay on the ground, feeling aggrieved and wanting to cry. When he thought about his 'unfortunate' fate since childhood, he shed tears.
"I've seen it before. I was caught by two humans, and then followed their instructions to summon nearby gray sand beasts to besiege the humans!"
"Two humans? Two humans coming in from outside the entrance?" Li Zhi's eyes moved, this was an unexpected surprise.
Sha Qilin Ma Ya said: "Yes, they came in from outside the entrance, but they should not be humans in your world, but people who walked out of our world, and they carry the aura of this world with them!
"
"Xiao Bing, show it the two images of humans coming out of the North Pole entrance." Li Zhi ordered Xiao Bing beside him.
Looking back, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Are you talking about them?"
In front of me are photos of two humans, Master Yuan and Zheng!
"Yes, that's them!" Sha Qilin Ma Ya raised his head and recognized them at a glance, with strong hatred in his eyes.
"Where did they go?" Li Zhi nodded, waved his hand to Xiaobing to remove the image, and asked calmly.
Sha Qilin Ma Ya thought for a while and said: "It should have gone to the tribe of the 'Sha people', most likely to the 'Sand people city'. I don't know where exactly they went!"
"The tribe of the 'Sand people'? Sand people city?" Li Zhi repeated the two sentences in his mouth, looked at it, and said: "Tell me about this 'Sand people' tribe and the Sand people city, what are they?
, why do you guess that two humans went to the Sand People tribe, most likely to the 'Sand People City'?"
Sha Qilin Ma Ya's eyes were listless. No matter how much he said, would this human being let him go in the end?
Perhaps Li Zhi saw what it was thinking, and before it could speak, he added with a smile: "Since you are willing to cooperate, then I can let you go, and not only can I let you go, but I can also give you unparalleled benefits."
The advantage of having less, of course, is that you tell us everything you know and you can’t lie!”
"Really, can you keep your promise?" After listening to Li Zhi's words, Sha Qilin Ma Ya raised his head from the metal floor excitedly.
Li Zhi nodded and said calmly: "I always mean what I say!"
"Then you swear to the 'inner demon'. If you betray your promise, you will be tortured to death by the inner demon!" Sha Qilin Ma Ya said.
Li Zhi smiled. The "inner demon" seems to have a wide range of uses in this world.
"Can!"
According to the other party's request, Li Zhi swore on the 'inner demon'. Of course, this thing must be mutual. In order to 'respect' the other party, Li Zhi also asked him to swear on the 'inner demon', achieving the requirement of 'equality'.
Sha Qilin Ma Ya had hope for survival and began to cheer up. He explained: "The Sha people are the human beings of this desert. This desert is very large, spanning hundreds or even tens of millions of kilometers. The territory is vast, and there are not only people like us
There are also other species of "desert royal family" with noble bloodlines such as the 'Sand Qilin'.
Among them, humans are a very large ethnic group. They know how to practice and make a living by hunting. They have formed countless tribal groups, large and small, scattered in this desert like stars.
The humans living in this desert are the ‘Sand people’.
'Sand City' is the largest city of the Sand people in this desert. It seems that the leaders of the Sand people and other high-level people live in it. However, I have only heard about it and have never been there. The Sand people there are not familiar with it.
We 'Sha Qilin' are not friendly, they either want to enslave us as their pets, or they want to get the materials from us and eat our flesh."
After getting familiar with it, Li Zhi felt that this Sha Qilin named "Ma Ya" was quite sad and angry.
"Then why do you suspect that the two humans went to the 'Sandman City' instead of somewhere else?" Li Zhi interrupted its complaints and asked.
Sha Qilin Ma Ya said: "It's very simple, because the Sha people, not to mention ordinary tribes, even those large tribes, will not have a 'long-distance' cross-regional teleportation array. At most, they can only exist in this desert."
Teleportation, and in this desert, the only teleportation array that can 'cross regions' and 'long distance' is in the 'Sandman City'.
Therefore, if those two outsiders want to leave the desert, they must go to the ‘Sandman City’ and then leave through the teleportation array!”
Li Zhi frowned and said, "Where is 'Sandman City' and how far is it from our current location?"
"In the center of this desert!" Sha Qilin Ma Ya tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "It's probably one to two million kilometers away, right?"
Sha Qilin Ma Ya learned the lesson this time. Before Li Zhi could speak, he added: "Those two humans may have left this desert by now and arrived at the 'Sand City'. Although they arrived from here."
The distance to Sand City is very far. However, it is only tens of thousands of kilometers away from the nearest Sand tribe. Through the teleportation array in the Sand tribe, they can go to the large Sand tribe, and then pass through the large Sand tribe.
The teleportation array in the tribe goes directly to Sandman City. If you switch twice like this, it will be very fast!"
The 'teleportation array', in this world, has become the simplest, most convenient, and most popular 'transportation' because of its vast area.
Counting the time, just as Sha Qilin Ma Ya said, those two humans had already left this desert!
Li Zhi sighed inwardly, it was still a step too late. However, the information he got from Sha Qilin Ma Ya was not useless.
Sand people?
Maybe we can still communicate with people on Earth!
"Those two humans, did you ask you to gather the Gray Sand Beast Herd just to hold us back?" Li Zhi said.
Sha Qilin Ma Ya nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Yes, but not entirely. They said, let me monitor you, feel your strength, and then tell them the news when they come back."
"They said they would come back?" Li Zhi asked, looking at it.
"That's what you said!" Sha Qilinma Crow shrank his neck, feeling that the other person's eyes were a bit scary.
"There are no benefits. You won't be able to obey casually. What benefits did those two humans promise you?"
Sha Qilin Ma Ya hesitated for a moment and said softly: "'Beast King Pill', they said that as long as I am honest and obedient, they will give me three 'Beast King Pill'."
"Beast King Pill? A pill refined by humans?" Li Zhi asked curiously: "Do you Sha Qilin also need to take pills?"
"Um!"
Sha Qilin Ma Ya said that although Sha Qilin is a royal family in this desert, it is still very miserable now. In this desert, the most powerful race is undoubtedly the 'Sha people'. Human beings know how to practice and how to practice.
They know how to make alchemy and formations. I heard that there are other powerful races in the outside areas, but in this desert, the Sand people are the largest race.
Although the Sand Qilin clan has not yet been exterminated, the number is not very large. In an area of millions or even tens of millions of kilometers, there are at most hundreds of thousands of Sand Qilin!
"Are sand unicorns also divided into levels?"
"Well, don't you human monks have different levels? Our Sha Qilin clan, or in other words, all races, are all divided into levels." Sha Qilin Ma Ya nodded.
"Tell me, how are your levels divided?" Li Zhi said with a smile.
Sha Qilin Ma Ya explained: "A simple division, there are probably several boundaries, ferocious beasts, earth beasts, heavenly beasts, and bright beasts. Under each boundary, there are nine small levels. Just like you human monks, they are divided into
Mortal level, earth level, heaven level, and holy level."
"Write it down!" Li Zhi glanced at Xiaobing. This was the first time he came into contact with the cultivation system in the folded space.
"What level of sand unicorn are you?"
"I am Ji Jie, level eight." Sha Qilin Ma Ya said helplessly. If it had been more powerful, it would not have come to hang out in this barren land, right?
"Eighth level, level eight?" Li Zhi repeated, nodded and said with a smile, "Are there any monks of the 'holy level' in the 'Sandman City'?"
"No!" Sha Qilin Ma Ya shook his head without even thinking about it. (To be continued)
