Volume 10, "Legends on the Silk Road"

1. The Wise Wolf on the Gobi Desert (Part 1)

It seemed that the hot sunlight that could melt metal was projected on the endless Gobi Desert. The gravel that was so hot that it was so hot that it was terrifyingly hot, roasting the air into a tumultuous heat wave, and the scenery in the field of view swayed and twisted. Even the horizon in the distance seemed to turn into a undulating river.

This is a harsh world ruled by heat and dryness—desolate, barren, nothing.

The dry gravel, which contains almost no trace of moisture, seems to cover the whole world under the withered yellowness of despair.

The howling wind swept across this thirsty land from time to time, but it could not bring a trace of cool water vapor, but only caused a deadly sandstorm all over the sky.

Although under the shadow of rocks or sand dunes, you can occasionally see several clusters of tenacious drought-tolerant plants swaying in the wind, embellishing a precious green for this monotonous and dead desolate world. However, the thick white bones scattered everywhere in the yellow sand completely expose this illusory vitality, revealing the cruel nature of this Gobi Desert that constantly swallows up life.

However, even though the environment in the Gobi Desert is so harsh, there are still people who dare to offend this place of death.

"Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding-"

A series of crisp and pleasant camel bells dispelled the terrifying silence that permeated this desolate world. Walking on a dangerous road with bare bones exposed, a group of travelers dressed in grassland nomads were trying to cross the desert.

If you look closely, you will find that this is a very strange team.

Unlike the common desert caravans, there are old and young, men and women, and they only have the most basic water bags, weapons and dry food bags, but they do not carry large trucks for transporting goods, nor do they tie too many luggage packages on the camel's back, and they are basically lightly on the road. What's more unique is that in addition to the large group of camels and horses, there are more than a dozen strong giant wolf in the middle of the entire team.

These fierce creatures that are obviously not suitable for the desert climate have been tortured by the scorching sun and yellow sand. They are sticking out their tongues while hanging their heads listlessly and dragging their tired limbs to the road.

Under the bright sunshine, the scorching sand and stones are always baking the soles of the giant wolf's feet, bringing out ominous blue smoke.

Although he is also hungry and thirsty, the travelers on the camel's back will occasionally throw a few pieces of jerky meat, or pour them some precious water to maintain the minimum survival needs of the wolf pack so that they can keep up with the team and continue on the road.

As can be seen from the scars on the travelers and wolves, they did not seem to be peaceful along the way.

Despite this, this desert journey that made everyone feel desperate continued dullly.

At the front of this small travel team, several of the most ingenious cavalry, regardless of how dazzling the sunlight above their heads, always stared in the distance alertly until they saw the faint green outline at the end of the earth, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

That is the thing in the whole world that makes desert travelers most happy - an oasis.

"...Dignity Your Highness, we have arrived at Tianshuiquan, which is about two days away from Lixuan City."

The cavalry leader hurried to a camel, bowed to the small tent of golden silk jewels set up on the camel's back, and reported with a respectful expression, "...Next, we will replenish drinking water in this oasis, rest for another night, and at most, we will see the city wall of Lixuan the day after tomorrow."

“…There is an oasis ahead? Oh, that’s amazing”

The white gauze curtain in the tent was suddenly lifted open, revealing the figure of an old girl. On her bright and tender little face, she was filled with excitement, "...... It was so uncomfortable to say on the way across the desert... Well, I'm going to run to the edge of the spring immediately, pour water into my belly with big mouthfuls, take a shower and swim... Well, I must soak myself in the pond later."

"...Haha, you will get your wish soon, Your Highness"

The middle-aged cavalry leader with dark skin and scars on his face couldn't help but smile, "...To be honest, your companions acted really badly along the way. Not only did they lose hair from head to tail, but they even spit out their tongues and couldn't shrink back."

The girl's face collapsed in an instant, revealing a hint of shame and annoyance.

"...Looking at this, what can I do? Wolves are not desert creatures... This damn desert is really hateful, making people's skin almost cracked, and their whole body is even more sticky... Well, the desert is the most annoying."

While pouting her little mouth and shouting casually in a cute voice, she poked her whole body out of the tent, thus showing some wonderful signs that were different from ordinary people.

——A pair of furry conical beast ears were added to the top of her head, and under the short sheepskin skirt that was barely enough to cover her butt, a big white and fluffy tail emerged; combined with the two sharp teeth that she would occasionally reveal when she spoke, the flat chest that lacked obviously raised, and the sweet and crisp childish voice... It made people feel a subtle feeling called "Cute", which was unconsciously aroused in her chest...

"...But, he is the greatest wise wolf Xiaobai on the grasslands in the northern desert. How could he be defeated by such a small difficulty? For the sake of our talent and mission and the future destiny of the tribes, we just don't take it seriously."

As the conclusion of this unravelling long speech, the slender and petite non-human girl tried to stand up her undeveloped flat breasts, as usual, and announced in an extremely proud tone.

——Customer attribute identification completed: The arrogant beast-eared loli, who blesses the cute element halo, comes with totem beast skills

"...Yes, yes, even if our greatest Little White Wolf is not the God of the Desert, he will never be drooled all day long by the high temperature and scorching sun of the Gobi Desert, and he will not pout from morning to night because he can't take a shower for half a month..."

The cavalry leader grinned and played with no sincerity, and continued to tease the wolf loli, who had just been inspired to be arrogant. "... There is indeed a very clear lake in the oasis in front of him. But speaking of this, on the grassland in my hometown, I have never seen how His Royal Highness Xianlang swims? Could it be that he is like the big black in my house, learning to do dog paving? Well, that look will definitely be very interesting. I have to take the young men to watch carefully later, and after I go back, I have to chat with the villagers, hahahaha..."

"...Hey, we are blessing your gods. How can we compare such a great virtuous wolf with a lowly wild dog? In addition, we also openly said such obscene words as if we were to peep at an unmarried girl in a bath... Okay, you dare to laugh so weirdly, and they will never ignore you, this lustful weirdo, Humph."

Under the repeated teasings of a bad uncle, the great Little White Wolf finally couldn't help but become angry and embarrassed.

She lifted the curtain without thinking and jumped onto the back of a big wolf behind the camel. Then she raised her small chest again, put her hands on her hips and pointed forward with the other hand, and issued a majestic order to the wolves behind her.

"Aowu~~~~Babys, look at your cowardly look, you are ridiculed as something. Why don't you hurry up and cheer up your highness and charge at full speed to the oasis in front and throw this monster uncle who dares to desecrate the virtuous wolf behind and eat dust. Aowu~~"

"Aowu~~" "Aowu~~" "Aowu~~"

When I heard that the water source was right in front of me, the giant wolf who had been tortured by the hot sun were dying, I couldn't help but feel excited. With a series of wolf howlings one after another, all the big, little, old wolf, and all the big, little, old wolf, and all the big, little, old wolf, were running away in the dust, leaving only a bad uncle who was covered in dust by the flying sand and dust, and a series of ridicule without any malicious sneer.

"...Oh, our little white wolf prince is still so energetic..."

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

And just behind this joyful team running towards hope, at the foot of a sand dune not far away, a bad creature abandoned by the team was gradually being swallowed up by the desert, heading towards desperate death little by little.

This is a horse carrying the owner unfortunately falling off the sand dune, and most of the body has been buried in fine quicksand.

Although it tried its best to twist its body and try to get rid of the deadly quicksand trap when it was in danger, and the travelers in the team tried their best to rescue it, but they still fell deeper and deeper, and finally dragged it out of the knight on the horse with a rope. As for the unlucky war horse, they could only watch the owner climbing the sand dune alone after escape, giving up the effort to save himself, and stepped onto an empty camel and slowly left, leaving it alone buried in the quicksand.

Slowly, the hot and fine sand had swallowed most of its body little by little, and more struggles would only cause it to sink faster, and the sad roar could not summon any rescue.

The unfortunate horse could only raise its head, stare at the scorching sun in despair, and quietly wait for the arrival of death.

As time passed, the quicksand gradually spread across its chest and its neck, and its breathing began to become difficult... Finally, the slowly rising quicksand buried the eyes of the horse, about to erase the last trace of its existence in the world.

But reality is always so strange. Just as consciousness gradually becomes blurred and eternal darkness is about to come, the horse suddenly feels a violent shock... Then, it finds that it is flying out of the quicksand

Could this be... an earthquake? I was actually saved?

Before this poor abandoned beast could drive its poor thinking ability and judge his situation, he saw a hideous mouth full of sharp teeth emerging from the sand and immediately caught it falling from the air and swallowed it into his stomach.

...The real death has finally arrived, and more victims who are about to be swallowed are still unaware of this...
