The long camel caravan drew a curve on the golden earth. The trajectory of the curve overlapped with the ups and downs of the sand dunes. Even if the camel caravan was heading west along the straight line on the map, he still felt the illusion that he was spinning in place every year.

Although there are many camels, there are even more supplies for more than a thousand people in this group. Not long after they left the customs, they were still immersed in the magnificent scenery of the yellow sand in the desert. Before they were tired, they walked with the crisp camel bells, leaving fleeting footprints on the soft yellow sand.

The team is clearly divided into three parts.

The front team was a Qilin Army that joined from Yumen Pass. According to the smiling young general named Zheng Qi, there were a total of 500 people, a taciturn man in armor.

In the middle is the caravan of the world. Among the three hundred players, half men and half women, talking and laughing in groups of three or three, and bursting laughter sometimes blew into the ears of every year in the breeze.

Finally, there was the five hundred guards of the envoy Song Qing. They were all silent and their depressed footsteps were neatly sounded. Song Qing himself was not here, and he was also in the lively area. Although there was no noise, he would talk to Sui from time to time, and his expression seemed quite relaxed.

Every year, I am at the end of the caravan and at the forefront of the guards. Sometimes I fight with the three-foot water, and sometimes I just quietly enjoy the scenery around me that I have never seen before.

"So this is the desert." Nian Nian put his hands on his eyes and looked up at the cloudless sky.

"Isn't it very powerful?" Sanchishui smiled, not knowing what he was proud of.

"Well, it's very desolate, there's not even a grass." Every year, he looked around and said with a flat mouth.

"Are you still afraid that there is no food? We brought a lot of forage. I believe that the camel brother doesn't mind giving you a little."

Sanchishui smiled and patted the camel's thigh beside him, causing the camel to look back at him, and his steps paused slightly.

Nian rolled her eyes at the blue sky and decided to ignore the three-foot water.

On the day I stayed in Jinchang City, I was not idle every year.

When you are new to a place, there are many fresh plants you have never seen before. So you always have to pick up leaves every year, right?

As a result, these slightly salty and full-sour juicy plants in the north instantly cured their sweetness every year. She diligently "trimmed" the thin and colorful red willows on the roadside, and then squatted on the ground to dig a large basket of gray-green nameless shrubs.

Qi Youfeng and Sanchishui who were passing by were attracted by the "hard work" figures every year. After asking the whole story, they also prepared dry food for her.

Who knew that coincidentally, the young city guard who once sent a city wall to visit every year changed the guard and went home. He praised the three of them when he passed by, and finally added a sentence before leaving.

"You don't have to do it yourself. We have prepared the forage for the camel caravan for a long time."

"Camels?"

"forage grass?"

Sanchishui and Qi Youfeng were stunned, and Niannian, who was holding a blade of grass in her mouth, was squatting on the ground and looking back at him.

"Ah, yes, that, the one you are digging is called Salt Claws, for sheep and camels"

For camels?

Sanchishui turned around with a basket of salt claws, looking at the small group squatting on the ground, which was not yet high in his thighs, and suddenly felt that his vocabulary was a little lacking.

Qi Youfeng accompanied the young general to greet him for a few words. After sending the person away, he looked at the "forage" in his hand helplessly. After thinking about it, he put it in the willow basket.

Every year, I was ignorant and digging grass diligently while drooling at the willow basket.

"Uh, I said, this is for camels."

I couldn't stand the three-foot water anymore. Although this thing was not something that could not be eaten by people, it always felt a little awkward to grab food from a living person.

"Oh." Niannian nodded, turned to look at him, and said calmly, "What is a camel?"

He was so stupid that he was speechless that he was choked every day. He was holding a basket of forage and turned away, probably because he was planning to send it to the mouth of a real camel.

Every year scratched his head, turned his head and continued to store food for himself.

She looked at Qi Youfeng who was squatting beside her, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that this person was just digging grass quietly.

"Camel is an animal that is more common near the desert, a bit like a horse, with a hump on its back like a raised hill."

When I heard Qi Youfeng's popular science, I nodded every day, thought about it, and still said thank you softly.

"I was worried before," Qi Youfeng stopped the action in his hand. "Now it seems that my worries make sense. Even though I know the time is wrong, I am still too anxious."

He bowed his head every year and accelerated the weed digging action.

"It's a pity that time can't go backwards. It would be great if you could pretend to be stupid."

Qi Youfeng stood up, pulled up Niannian, dusted off the dust from the hem of her cloak, and smiled and pointed her forehead. "You are so frustrating. I can only hope that you will get used to it as soon as possible, at least you must get used to being taken care of."

Every year I hugged the willow basket in my arms, and my whole head was about to be stuffed into the pile of gray-green salt claws.

"Let's go back, I'll be behind you."

"Look at the road carefully."

As her feet tilted, Nian's thoughts were pulled back to the sea of ​​sand below her feet. She looked at the hands of the man holding her arms and subconsciously turned her head.

"Don't worry, I'll be behind you." Qi Youfeng's lips curled slightly, and his smile seemed to fall into the desert.

"Oh yo ~ What a flower protector."

Sanchishui started to cheer, and was about to make a few more jokes when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in front of the team. The camel bells suddenly became messy, and the camel caravan, which was originally like a dragon, gradually piled up somewhere in front.

After every year, the three of them walked out dozens of meters, a small dreamy oasis fell into their eyes and lay at the end of the sand dunes. The sky blue water surface was surrounded by sparse green plants, like a jewelry pendant with poor inlaying technology, which made the sapphire look moist and quiet at night.

The people from the Qilin Army had already stepped into the oasis. From the excited comments from the caravan players in front, I knew every year that I was going to have a collective rest.

The three-foot water running down the sand dune pounced directly on the small lake in the oasis, stuffed her head into it and bubbling. After a while, she looked up and shook the water droplets while pushing away the camel who came over to drink water in disgust.

"Don't be so stingy. I believe that the big camel brother wouldn't mind giving you a sip of water." Niannian followed and smiled when he saw this scene.

"Who snatched them water to drink?" Sanfou fell into the small lake, "They can only drink my bath water."

"Three feet of water!"

"Get out of here!"

"Get out quickly!"

Others who also came to the small lake immediately laughed and scolded. Some people squatted by the lake and fought with Sanchishui, and some people jumped into the small lake to swim with Sanchishui.

"Childish." Nian Nian muttered, hiding aside with "forage" in his mouth.

She is not familiar with the players in the world, and these people are also cold to her. They can also be said to be polite. Every year I don’t want to make things boring.

The bored Nian Nian looked around. Seeing Song Qing, Shisui and Zheng Qi from the Qilin Army were nearby. He listened to their conversation with his ears for a while, curled his lips, and threw these unnutritious polite words into the depths of the desert.

At this time, we can see the difference between regular army and civil society.

The Qilin Army and the Envoy Guard were still quiet. The soldiers took turns to fetch water by the lake, and then sat on the ground to chew dry food. After eating, they either checked weapons, led camels to the lake to drink water, or checked the supplies on the hunchback.

"Are the people from the Qilin Army also NPC?" Niannian bit the grass leaves that had just been pulled down and asked Qi Youfeng beside her in a low voice.

"Soldiers are, generals are not. Look carefully at the two people over there." Qi Youfeng raised his chin slightly, indicating that he would turn his eyes every year.

Although they were both wearing armor, there were indeed two people dressed more special, with two colorful spears on their hands. The two were sitting together and talking, and their expressions were indeed much more vivid than those dull soldiers.

"Wouldn't that mean that there are hundreds of people in the Qilin Army, but there are actually only three living people?" Every year was surprised.

"Well, I think it should be. But this also shows that these three people are probably masters in the Qilin Army."

Qi Youfeng glanced at Zheng Qi who was chatting and laughing with Song Qing and the others, and thought that he could talk to these two people for ten minutes without being rude. This person should not be underestimated.

"That's the general who is very capable of fighting?" Summary every year.

Her curiosity gradually slowed down, and she turned her eyes to the little lake again, but she immediately frowned.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with the lake?" Qi Youfeng slightly raised his voice and asked when he noticed his expression changes every year.

"The color of the lake water is not right, and a strange red is seeping up from the bottom of the lake." Niannian stood up and looked at Song Qing and the other two who were attracted by the attention, and said affirmatively.

Zheng Qi immediately turned to look at the lake, but found nothing unusual. Song Qing and Shisui learned about Nian Nian and made a quick decision to order everyone to stay away from the lake.

Zheng Qi no longer asked, and a harsh whistle sounded, and he gestured to the other two players in the Qilin Army. Soon the entire Qilin Army and the Envoy Guard stood neatly on the sand dunes outside the oasis, and even the camels assigned to them were quickly arranged.

At this time, the Xingtianxia players had just left the lake with dripping clothes, and were still in groups of three or five, scattered towards the sand outside the oasis.

Standing on the dune, Yu Sui frowned, but could not do anything about it. After all, these are living players, and they will definitely not enforce the orders like NPC soldiers. He has no way to force everyone to obey.

"Let your plan to create an unexpected plan for the Qilin Army first." Shisui whispered to Song Qing, capturing this sentence.

This is to discover the advantages of the Qilin Army, and I am reluctant to let these people die in vain, right?

"We have left the oasis, and I don't know-"

Zheng Qi came over from the Qilin Army's team. Before he finished speaking, he heard a few shrill sounds of animals swallowing. He turned his head in accordance with the sound. The camels that had not had time to be led by players in the world suddenly fell to the ground. The lake surface, which was still like a sapphire a moment ago, began to boil. The windless waves automatically rolled and dyed the lake water a bright red, like a pot of blood that became brighter and brighter as it boiled.

Zheng Qi quickly turned around and blew two whistles. When the Qilin Army soldiers heard this, they retreated again.

"Damn!" Song Qing also quickly asked his guard to retreat. Fortunately, the guards were all NPCs. As long as he said something to the general in charge, the soldiers would execute quickly.

Players who are moving around the world do not have such convenient operationality.

Everyone was frightened by the camel's screams and the lake water's strange reactions. Some people turned around and ran away, while some people stood there blankly. It was not until Sanchishui and several others rushed over and shouted loudly, and pushed the people again, before they found the effect of their legs.

"This, what is this!"

The shocked people shivered and looked back at the lake shore. The falling camels had turned into a pile of broken bones with ominous light. The small lake was clearly filled with dense scorpions. Countless scorpions crawled, like the undulating waves of the red lake.

"No, no matter what it is, it seems like a rush, a rush to us!"

The caravan players subconsciously ran to the position of the Qilin Army, panic looking for a sense of security. When they thought they were safe, they looked back and saw several lonely camels gnawed into bones by swarms of poisonous scorpions. Looking at the movement direction of the scorpions, they were following their footsteps.

The people who traveled around the world wanted to run away further, but saw a man standing out from the Qilin Army. The gray-black armor on his body was covered with sword scratches, and he exuded a sense of perseverance and unyielding blood.

"Give the army!" The colorful tassel spear in this person's hand was tapped, and his rough and majestic voice penetrated everyone's eardrums.
