As a lord, I was forced to farm

It would be a fantasy to say that someone can learn a new language in half an hour.

However, the language of desert people is relatively simple. In daily life, they only have relatively common words such as "house", "eat" and "sleep", and almost no advanced words such as "culture" and "sharpness". Using skills, and then distinguishing their expressions and movements, half-listening and half-guessing, one can indeed understand what they say.

Jiang Ran rubbed her temples, and the shadow of a prosperous tree kept flashing in her mind. Although it was just an image in the desert man's memory, Jiang Ran just relied on this image, which was enough to shock her. What a beautiful tree.

Jiang Ran guessed that this big tree must be very important to the desert people, but the most important thing now is the way to leave. She said to Mu Xiali in a somewhat jerky desert language, "We will not harm you when we enter here, but you Be obedient, take us away, and tell us how to leave.”

Looking at Jiang Ran, Mu Xiali was surprised, but cautiously did not speak.

Seeing that Mu Xia Li was still unwilling to cooperate, Jiang Ran continued to use the Soul Conjuring Technique for half an hour, and her head felt a little uncomfortable. Anyway, she had a rough impression of the location of these desert people's fortresses, so she gave up the conversation with Mu Xia Li for the time being. .

After Jiang Ran left the room, Qi Yu and others immediately came to greet her, "Are you okay? Did you hear anything?"

"I am fine."

Jiang Ran briefly talked about the conversation with Mu Xiali, and then said, "This person named Mu Xiali should be just the leader of a team in the desert tribe. His status is not too high. I don't have any more useful information." I couldn't find out, but what deeply affected me was that there was a big tree in their tribe that they regarded as the source of life. Desert residents lived around the big tree, and that big tree was much more important than this vortex gate. …I’m not sure at the moment, but in short, we may be able to move towards the direction of the desert tribe first.”

……

How much combat power to bring to the desert tribes has become a question that Jiang Ran and the others are thinking about now.

Qi Yu patted the sand wolf that had been beaten, and moaned softly next to his legs to show submission, "The sand wolf's carrying capacity is not strong, it only weighs about 26 kilograms, and a sand wolf can sit on two Personally, there are a total of thirteen sand wolves here, and we can take at most [-] people away."

Feng Chi said, "It's better not to take all these desert people away. If they cause any trouble along the way, it won't be easy for us to deal with."

Jiang Ran nodded, "Well, besides, we can't bring so many of them."

Jiang Ran glanced at the Henghai ship that was quietly hiding in the Gobi Desert. "These people are bringing food for the tribe. They haven't returned to the tribe for a few days. The desert people will definitely send people over again. The Henghai ship is coming to us." Said it was very important, we must keep this place..."

Moreover, walking in the desert requires everyone to consume more water in a day. The strength gap between Jiang Ran and the others and the Xuanjia soldiers is too big. In case of a fight, they have to worry about the safety of these soldiers, so Jiang Ran and the others decided to streamline and Okay, just bring along the three desert people including Mu Xiali, and the three spirit gathering black armor soldiers who are monitoring these three desert people.

Xuan Jiabing and the Desert Man rode a sand wolf together. Jiang, Qi, and Feng each rode one. Mo Sheng ran by himself or sat with Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran said to Sheyao, "We only need six sand wolves, and the remaining You should also take a good look at the seven sand wolves and snake yams below. If they bark restlessly, you can kill them when necessary."

Sand Wolf can also help Shenyang and the others carry food from the Whirlpool Gate, but it depends on whether her Black Armor soldiers can tame these beasts.

After Jiang Ran left two buckets of water for the people on the boat, a group of nine people plus one rode sand wolves and set off southward at dusk.

Going south was "going in the opposite direction" from Yao Bao Yun Subaru and the others. On the way, Jiang Ran often asked the desert people for information. At first, the three desert people were quite brave, but their mouths were dry and they looked at Jiang Ran. Ran and others drank water happily, but he could only endure the dryness of his lips and tongue. This feeling was like ten thousand ants crawling on his body, which was even more uncomfortable after being tortured.

On the first day, the desert people shouted and cursed:

"Bastard! Weird man!"

"You are despicable sneak attackers. If we hadn't been careless, you would be the ones tied to the sand wolves now!"

"Just watch, the people in our village will definitely come to save us, and then I will return all the humiliation I suffered today to you!"

"..."

The next day, the uninjured desert man tilted his head and didn't have much energy to scream, but his attitude was still not good:
"Let us go, you little bastards!" "Where are you from! Your clothes are weird!"

"I'm hungry!"

"..."

On the second and a half days, the desert people watched Jiang Ran and others drinking water, constantly licking their dry lips, and their eyes turned red with discomfort:
"Can you give me some water?"

"Crab, crab crab."

"Why do you have water?"

"Why are you going to our village? If you want to harm our people, we will not let you go!"

"..."

"By the way...can you give me some water?"

On the third day, the desert people were already like the sand wolves riding under them:

"You are good people."

"Hey, Crab."

……

Feng Chi was still surprised that Jiang Ran could understand the words of the desert people, and even more surprised that the desert people softened their attitude so quickly.

Over the past three days, Jiang Ran either used a gentle policy, coerced or induced, or used some unfair means to learn a lot about this secret realm from these three desert people.

First of all, this secret realm is called the Xiangling Secret Realm. Ten years ago, half of this secret realm was an oasis. But for some reason, the sand in the north gradually eroded to the south, and the oasis was replaced by the desert. The only place where you can still see green is the The land protected by ancient Zhanhua trees covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters.

The Ancient Zhanhua Tree—that is, the tree of life that Jiang Ran saw in Mu Xia Li’s mind.

Feng Chi was surprised by the "spinelessness" of these three desert people, but most people can't understand how much the desert people who haven't drank water for several years and only rely on the blood of some animals to replenish their body moisture appreciate that small sip of water. eager.

The fact that they persisted for three days before surrendering was a sign of great determination.

Jiang Ran didn't even doubt that if she gave them a pot of water and asked them to kill each other, they would do it.

Muxiali watched with dismay as her people became real "slaves."

"Hey, desert woman, do you want some water?" In the rest room, the Xuanjia soldier who was responsible for guarding Muxiali asked while holding a kettle and looking at the tied Muxiali.

Muxiali couldn't understand the soldier's words, but when she saw him holding the kettle, she understood that he was asking her if she needed water.

Mu Xiali, who had yellow hair, nodded hurriedly, with the ultimate flattery on her face. She was afraid that if she nodded too late, the soldier would not be willing to give her water, "Wu! Wulu!" Yes! I want it, strong and handsome stranger, you are such a good man! (End of chapter)
