Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1713 Gradually Outrageous
There were more than a dozen people hiding in the cave, which didn't surprise Jie Liancheng.

Judging from the scale of the buildings in that oasis, at least several dozen families originally lived there.

To Jie Liancheng's surprise, they ended up bringing out five more camels...

In fact, the reason they were able to escape alive during the earlier snake people's attack was partly due to the chaotic situation at the time, and partly because they were riding camels.

Even judging from the current number of people, it's clear that they rode out a considerable number of camels back then.

Now, including Hachi, there are only six left.

Needless to say, it was because they lacked food and ate it.

If nothing unexpected happens, and they are unable to change the situation after the camels have eaten all the food, then they will only be able to wait for death.

Jie Liancheng was unaware of all this, and seeing the five more camels that had appeared, he was in a great mood.

As things stand, he even feels that these camels might be his biggest gain from this trip.

Their Great Zhou Dynasty will conquer the desert sooner or later, and at this stage, camels are undoubtedly a very important means of transportation in the desert.

These desert people didn't need to bring much; essentially, these six camels were their most important possession.

With the special saddle, a camel can comfortably accommodate two people, and any extra people can only be carried by Jie Liancheng and his companions.

The road back to the oasis was also very familiar to these desert dwellers.

The desert people returned to the oasis without encountering any unexpected events along the way, and their faces were filled with excitement.

Seeing this, Jie Liancheng still gave them a reminder.

"Those who need water, please do so now. We won't be staying here for long. Also, does anyone here know much about these plants?"

Upon hearing this, the desert people snapped back to reality. The man, who appeared to be their leader, gestured for his people to quickly lead their camels to drink water, and then stepped forward himself.

"My name is Ali. I know a bit about these plants. Are you here to prevent sandstorms?"

In the desert, the most important function of these plants is to prevent sand from falling, and the desert people living in the oasis must be well aware of this.

Xie Liancheng didn't hide anything and readily admitted it.

"That's right, we are collecting plants that have the ability to prevent sand from falling."

Alibaba didn't waste any time and came directly to help.

As things stand, going to Da Zhou is now a done deal.

Given this premise, if they want to live well in a new place, they need to demonstrate certain value.

"I used to take care of many of the plants that are planted here."

Taking this opportunity, Alibaba also demonstrated some of its capabilities to Xie Liancheng.

With Alibaba's help, they can simply take the seeds of many plants back with them, which saves them a lot of trouble.

"That's enough, we should go."

Clearly, they didn't intend to spend the night there.

They weren't quite sure what the snake people were up to, but snakes have a kind of heat-sensing ability. The darkness of night doesn't affect snakes, but it does affect people. Staying here would increase the risk after nightfall.

During the trip, the camels, having had a good drink of water after a long absence, looked much more energetic. Before leaving, the desert people, including Ali and Tata, took one last, reluctant look at this oasis.

This used to be their home, and after leaving this time, no one knows if they will ever have the chance to come back.

The majority of the time spent traveling back and forth is spent on the road.

Perhaps because they were familiar with the route, this mission was much more efficient than the last one. Along the way, Ali and Tata had actually wondered what the oasis where Da Zhou was located was like.

Even after thinking about it all the way, the scene that appeared before them was still completely beyond their expectations.

In the distance, there was a vast forest that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.

Even more outrageous, there were many strange animals running around on the sandy ground leading to the forest, making their heads buzz.

Of course, they also saw many people, many of whom had green hair and incredibly handsome faces.

At one point, they couldn't help but wonder if they and those green-haired people were really the same species.

Seeing the desert people suffering from the impact, Jie Liancheng temporarily ignored them. As he passed by, he took the opportunity to have all the seeds and saplings he had brought back handed over to the wood elves.

Immediately afterwards, following the pre-prepared passage, they quickly entered the forest.

The coverage of trees and vegetation here is far superior to that of the plants in the oasis, which made Ali feel a little uneasy.

Although he does take care of the plants in the oasis, given the scale of the place, is there really room for him to make his own contributions?
Just as Ali was thinking this, Tatana let out an uncontrollable exclamation.

Upon hearing the noise, Ali instinctively looked up.

In an instant, the shimmering lake surface filled his entire field of vision.

Compared to the artificial lake that their Great Zhou dug here, the lake in that oasis can only be considered a small pond.

"Alright, stop daydreaming. If you want to look, there'll be plenty of time for you to see."

"Not here yet?"

Tata was bewildered. According to their logic, their residence should be right by this lake.

But the reality is clearly not like that.

As they passed through the forest, the desert people looked up at the towering fortress, and at that moment, their minds went blank.

At the same time, he unconsciously opened his mouth wide, but could not make a sound, and lost his ability to speak as well.

Something completely beyond their comprehension and even their worldview appeared!!
From the moment they arrived at the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they sensed something was amiss. After entering the forest, things gradually became more and more bizarre, until now, they felt as if they had stumbled into another world...

Seeing the desert people's dumbfounded expressions, Jie Liancheng chuckled.

"Relax, you guys rest here for a while."

As Jie Liancheng spoke, he called over two soldiers to look after them, while he and Zhou Chongshan obviously had to go and report the results of the operation to Shi Lei.

During this mission, they defeated the snake people, briefly occupied the oasis, obtained desert plants, and incidentally recruited a group of desert people. They also unexpectedly gained six camels, making it quite a fruitful trip.

"Let's see how the snake people react. We'll remain calm and wait for the right opportunity."

At this point, Shi Lei paused.

"Before that, bring those desert people over first. I need to check their profiles and register them."

As a mage at the Transcendent Realm, Shi Lei could read through the entire text of a dozen or twenty desert people in one go.

When Ali and Tata were brought to Shi Lei's office, they were all still in shock.

Their brains were short-circuited, and their mouths were clumsy, so there was no need for them to say anything.

Just stand there obediently, and once Shi Lei opens his mouth, he'll look at each of them and that's it.
