It was three days later when he appeared again at the No. 1-1 supply station base.
"Are you ready?" Li Zhi looked at Shi Sha, smiled, and asked.
Shi Sha nodded and said calmly: "There is nothing to prepare, you can set off at any time!"
Li Zhi hummed, nodded and said, "Then let's go!"
A refined team of five hundred people, not too many, but relatively large in number. Their main purpose is to set up 'hidden signal stations' along the road!
"Two options. First, I will put all the people and equipment into the 'East China Sea Dragon Palace', and then I will travel alone. When I find a suitable place, I will release them. Second, I will take them directly."
Go forward and go all the way deep. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The first method is faster, and the second method allows you to explore a wider area.
Which one do you think I should choose?" Li Zhi asked Xiaobing after coming out of the No. 1-1 supply station base!
As long as there is a sufficient signal network, she can return to the supply station base at any time and exchange information with our personnel at the supply station base and the 'Desert Camp'!
The speed at which digital life forms shuttle through the Internet far exceeds human imagination.
"Boss, do you want me to give you some advice, or do you want me to make a choice?" Xiao Bing winked at Li Zhi and asked.
Li Zhi said: "Let you choose!"
The right of choice was given to Xiaobing. I believe that with this kind of decision, Xiaobing's choice must be more rational than Li Zhi's own choice.
Xiaobing tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "Both options have their own pros and cons. If I had to choose, I would choose the first one because the first one is fast enough, and the purpose of our trip is not
Not just for exploration, but more importantly, I want to see the Sand tribe and get in touch with the 'Sand people', and even track down the humans in those two folded spaces.
Therefore, the requirements for traveling speed are very high. The first speed is just fast enough. Moving the exploration team into the ‘East China Sea Dragon Palace’ will provide better safety and protection for the exploration team members.”
"Okay!" Li Zhi did not hesitate, but directly called Shi Sha over: "I will release the 'East China Sea Dragon Palace' in a while, and then you go in first with the 'exploration team', Tian Ji and the others are inside
, they are all women, you should find a 'flower garden' to stay in first, and the two groups should try not to come into contact with each other and disturb each other."
Shi Sha nodded: "Yes!"
The East China Sea Dragon Palace occupies a large area, but in this desert, it is hard to find even a blade of grass, so it is just right.
In order to rush things, Li Zhi did not follow Shi Sha and the others into the East China Sea Dragon Palace. With Shi Sha here, I believe she can handle these things!
The members of the exploration team are all elites within the Ice Soul Group, and their organization and discipline are second to none.
The women in the East China Sea Dragon Palace were all Shi Sha's subordinates in the past, so no one is more suitable for the temporary 'manager' job than her!
Neither Sha Qilin Ma Ya nor Silly Erha Xiaotian went into the 'East China Sea Dragon Palace'. Sha Qilin Ma Ya needed to lead the way. Silly Erha Xiaotian was afraid that his 'daughter-in-law' would run away, so he refused to go in!
"Remind me later to place signal transmission devices every one thousand kilometers!" After Li Zhi finished speaking to Xiao Bing, he jumped on Lao Huang.
After revealing its true body, Lao Huang is as tall as two floors and more than ten meters long, making it suitable for riding.
It’s not that Li Zhi looks down on Sha Erha Xiaotian and Sha Qilin Ma Ya, they really don’t look down on them enough in front of Lao Huang!
"Walk!"
Speeding all the way towards the interior of the folding space!
…
The Sand people are a human race in this desert, but not only the ‘Sand people’ live in this desert, and not all the Sand people are ‘human races’.
The Sand Qilin Ma Crow's distinction between "human beings" is unclear, and it has very little contact with humans, so in its consciousness, the Sand people are humans.
In fact, this is not the case. ‘Sha tribe people’ is just a general term, which includes ‘human beings’ and ‘humanoids’.
For example...lizard people!
When he first met the lizard people, Li Zhi was also shocked because Sha Qilin Ma Ya clearly told Li Zhi that these were the "Sha tribe people".
But are 'lizards' human?
They just look a lot like humans, they use their lower limbs to walk, they have hands, and they have heads, but their appearance is not the slightest bit different from humans!
What kind of 'human' is this? This whole thing is a 'orc'!
After traveling tens of thousands of kilometers, Li Zhi saw the first tribe of 'Sha people'. This tribe was not very large, with a population of only about 800 people, all of whom were 'lizard people'.
"Are you sure this is the 'Sha tribe'?" Li Zhi asked Sha Qilin Ma Ya in this tone more than once!
"I'm sure, I'm very sure, they are the 'Sha tribe'."
Lizard people are indeed ‘Sand people’, but they do not represent all Sand people, they are just a type of Sand people!
"Their wisdom is also very high!" Sha Qilin Ma Ya said: "If you don't believe it, you can go and contact them in person. The scale of this tribe is not large, and there will be at most one or two people who are four or five levels of mortals.
'Master, don't worry too much!"
Li Zhi walked into the 'Lizard Man' tribe with the attitude of giving it a try.
Although these 'lizard men' look weird on the outside and may seem scary to others, once you get in touch with them you will find that they are not bad-tempered and are very enthusiastic towards people!
After being introduced, Li Zhi met the sage of this small lizard tribe, their prophet, one of the most authoritative people in the tribe!
"Guest from afar, I'm glad you can come to our 'Tatu Tribe'." The lizard man sage expressed his humility and kindness to Li Zhi's arrival.
Although you can't tell how old he is from his appearance, you can feel that he is definitely not too young after going through many hardships.
"Hello!" Li Zhi took out some meat, some drinking water, and fruits as gifts.
You must know that in the desert, water is the most precious thing, and fruits are extremely rare.
After some polite greetings, everyone sat down and started chatting.
This small tribe of 'lizard men' gave Li Zhi a great change in his view of the world. They looked scary and treated people sincerely. Even after Li Zhi revealed that he was not a human being in this world, the other party did not respond.
What hostility arises.
The people of the Tatu tribe are very friendly.
Therefore, whether we are in contact or chatting together, we feel very comfortable.
The prophet in the Tatu tribe has no name, and all the tribesmen in this tribe have no names of their own, they only have the name of 'tribe'.
The prophet said that a long time ago, their ancestors all had names, and the Tatu tribe was also a very large tribe. However, with the baptism of time, the Tatu tribe declined, and they also began to transform from a wealthy area in the middle of the desert.
, moved to the barren area on the edge of the desert.
"I have a few questions. I want to ask the prophet. I wonder if it's okay!" Li Zhi looked at the old lizard man from the Tatu tribe opposite.
The old lizard man nodded kindly: "Answer everything you know!"
It is very concise, and it also shows its sincerity in its own words. Likewise, it also represents weakness.
As a small tribe among the desert people, they may be in danger of extinction at any time, and the role of the prophet is to lead his people to survive the disputes.
"Are all the Sand people lizard-men?"
The old lizard man shook his head: "No, there are many types of sand people, and lizard people are one of them. In addition to lizard people, there are also kobolds, jackals, desert wolf people, desert people, etc., these are collectively called '
Sand people'."
Only then did Li Zhi understand. It turned out that the Sha people did not just refer to 'human beings'. Many intelligent humanoids were also included in the 'Sha people'. That's why Sha Qilin Ma Ya said that the people of the Sha people
They are the most powerful race in this desert.
This kind of 'common sense' question is not a secret in this desert. The reason why Sand Qilin Ma Ya can't tell the difference is because it has never come into contact with many 'Sand people' before.
"Thank you for your information!" Li Zhi was very grateful to the old lizard man. If the old man hadn't solved his doubts today, Li Zhi might have thought that the "Sand people" were "lizard people" for a long time!
‘Sand people’ is a general term for desert humans and desert humanoids, and does not refer to any single race.
In addition to the "Sand People", Li Zhi also asked about the desert and the "Sand City".
Because the Tatu tribe is just an ordinary and small lizard-man tribe, they don’t know much about this desert. What they know about the ‘Sandman City’ is mostly from rumors.
"The name of this desert is 'Red Sea Desert'. We don't know how big it is, but it is very huge. Our ancestors have been to Sand People City. It is the largest gathering place of 'Sha people' in the 'Red Sea Desert'
, I heard that there are a lot of masters there, mountains of gold, and countless beauties. You can get whatever you want!"
The old lizard man fell into describing the wonderful experiences of his ancestors. Of course, there is a question mark as to how much of what he described is true.
No matter what, this old lizard-man prophet described to Li Zhi the specific appearance of the 'Sandman City'.
"It's a pity that there is no teleportation array in our tribe now. I heard that the tribe with the teleportation array here seems to be called the 'Daqiu Tribe'. It is also a tribe of lizard people. It seems to have tens of thousands of people, but it is far away from us.
It seems to be tens of thousands of miles away. I haven't gone to the specific location. I only know that it's in the east and keep going east!" The old lizard man sighed and explained.
The absence of a 'teleportation array' means that the bridge of communication with the outside world has been lost, and we can only trade and marry some small tribes nearby, barely maintaining the current situation.
Li Zhi stayed in the 'Tatu Tribe' for one night, and before leaving, he left them a large amount of supplies. To him, although the lizard man tribe called Tatu was small in size, it felt very...
Well, they are friendly to people.
If all intelligent races in this desert, or in this 'folded space' world, were like this, then war could be avoided!
Not much information, but very practical!
With this information from the Tatu Tribe, Li Zhi at least no longer had to take detours and went straight to the Daqiu Tribe to find the teleportation array.
Li Zhi estimated that the size of the 'Great Autumn Tribe' mentioned by the old lizard man was definitely not too big, with only tens of thousands of people. It could not be called a large tribe, but could barely be regarded as a medium-sized small tribe.
However, with the ‘teleportation array’, many problems can be solved.
"Boss, do you think what this lizard tribe said is true?" Xiaobing appeared in front.
Li Zhi sat on Lao Huang's body while driving. With the aura of Lao Huang's body, he could avoid being harassed by nearby beasts.
"Really!" Li Zhi smiled and nodded.
Xiaobing tilted his head and asked curiously: "They are not human beings. How can you be sure that what they say is definitely true?"
"The eyes are a window, and kindness is a feeling. Sometimes appearances can deceive people, and words can also deceive people, but sincerity can't, kindness can't, and eyes can't." Li Zhi thought for a while and said.
"Then you won't be mistaken?" Xiaobing blinked and muttered softly.
Li Zhi said with a smile: "It's just a mistake. At least now I think they are kind, sincere, and comfortable to get along with. That's enough. Besides, even if the other party cheats, what will they get?"
What about some supplies?
It’s not a big deal to give them away for free! So Li Zhi still chose to believe in his own eyes. (To be continued)
