Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1787 Frontline Outpost
Meanwhile, Zhou Ye, having received his mission, quickly set off.

The outpost was a small outpost they established in the desert specifically to monitor the area where desert forces existed.

The outpost was actually some distance from that area.

The sentry on duty needs to move from the sentry post to that area to carry out surveillance tasks.

So even if something happens, the outpost will have enough time to react.

The outpost consisted of eight people, three camels, and two giant eagles.

Two of them were giant eagle riders who took turns patrolling the nearby airspace.

The remaining six were ordinary soldiers, working in shifts of two. Their main job was to move to the outer edge of the area, hide in the shadows, and watch for any movement until the next group came to relieve them.

Stalking is a time-consuming task. Having fewer people not only makes the target smaller and more concealed, but also keeps daily resource consumption to a very low level, thereby reducing the frequency of transporting supplies.

Zhou Ye came to inspect the outpost this time, and also brought the latest batch of supplies.

To put it simply, it's just supplies for three camels. Every time they come, they give them all the supplies, including the camels, and then take the three camels from the outpost away.

The most important resource in the desert, and also the most difficult to transport, is fresh water.

The three camels responsible for transporting supplies had all drunk their fill of water beforehand, so they wouldn't need to drink water for a long time to come, which would indirectly save on the freshwater consumption at the outpost.

This is a little work tip for those working at the outpost.

Incidentally, the transport team won't linger at the outpost; they'll only rest briefly before leaving, even if it's almost dark, as they'll travel through the night.

In some ways, the time when it's almost dark in the desert is actually the best time to travel, because it's cool...

But the thought of going back and likely having to endure his mother's loving lectures gave Zhou Ye a headache.

Just as Zhou Ye was thinking this, the camel he was leading suddenly became restless.

"what happened?"

Zhou Ye subconsciously reached out to soothe the camel, but the camel became increasingly agitated and even began to pull on the reins, trying to break free of his control.

During this time, Zhou Ye quickly glanced at the other camels and found that they were all like this, which made his expression change drastically.

"Something is wrong!"

Some animals have more acute senses than humans and ordinary martial artists.

If one camel behaves strangely, it could mean there's something wrong with that camel, but if every camel is like this, then something is definitely wrong!
As he spoke, Zhou Ye keenly noticed that the yellow sand beneath his feet was trembling slightly.

Zhou Ye's first reaction was...

"A large cavalry force is approaching?"

However, before he could think further, he discovered that the vibration was getting stronger and stronger.

"They're getting closer and closer, heading this way!"

As they were talking, Zhou Ye had already leaped onto the camel's back.

"Evacuate immediately!"

Almost at the same time, the area where their outpost was located suddenly exploded! A terrifyingly large skeletal serpent crawled out from underground.

Because the distance was so close, the scene before Zhou Ye was so overwhelming that it seemed to blot out the sky! At the same time, the camel beneath him was also startled and immediately took off running!
Here in the desert, the camels bred by their Great Zhou are not yet adults. Therefore, the camels that are officially serving are originally wild camels, and they are used only after training.

But their inherent wildness is clearly not something that can be eliminated so quickly.

While they generally pose little risk when performing normal transport tasks, these camels become unobedient when provoked or threatened.

During this process, he easily destroyed the giant skeleton serpent at the Great Zhou outpost with a single blow, and at this moment he felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

Compared to those ancient beings who have existed for hundreds or even thousands of years as undead, its emotions are much more active.

Simply put, it has only been dead for a short time and is now extremely vengeful!

Originally a superhuman being at the Vajra Realm level, the giant skeletal serpent possessed high intelligence.

It knew perfectly well that the one who killed it was the immortal king, but it couldn't defeat him! Or rather, it was simply powerless to resist.

Ultimately, if it weren't for these humans relentlessly pursuing him, he wouldn't have trespassed into the Undying King's territory, and naturally, he wouldn't have been killed by the Undying King!
At this moment, seeing the outpost reduced to ruins by its attack, and then looking at the figures scattering and fleeing on camels, the giant skeletal serpent launched a pursuit without saying a word!
Its target was clear: Zhou Ye.

It wasn't that it recognized Zhou Ye's identity, but rather that it sensed that Zhou Ye was the strongest among this group.

In this way, the death of the other party would certainly be a greater loss for humanity!

In some ways, even though this guy is just a skeleton now, he's surprisingly cunning.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ye, who was lying on the camel's back, was also quickly organizing the thoughts in his mind.

With his four-star intelligence, he is no fool. Despite being in a dangerous situation, his mind is still working incredibly fast.

[A giant skeletal serpent? It doesn't look like an ordinary skeleton soldier. Is it undead? Is it from that desert faction with the forbidden spell? Do they have necromancers among them capable of converting undead?! Is this the same serpent from the snake-people race?!]

The limited information was quickly pieced together in Zhou Ye's mind.

No, I must get this information back to Master and Mother right away!

As the thought crossed his mind, Zhou Ye tried to pull the reins to control the camel.

But the camel, terrified by the giant desert snake, ignored him completely and ran wildly across the desert.

This left Zhou Ye at a loss; he couldn't very well use force to knock the camel down, could he?

He's not known for his strength, so he couldn't do it even if you asked him to!

Upon realizing this, Zhou Ye inwardly groaned.

I shouldn't have come out; I'd rather have stayed at camp and gotten a beating from my mother!

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Ye subconsciously turned his head to check what was behind him.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

The giant skeletal snake suddenly began to chase after him.

Although they hadn't fought yet, he could clearly sense that the giant skeletal serpent was incredibly powerful, definitely beyond the capabilities of a mere junior general like himself at the Hundred Refinements Realm.

At this point, he couldn't care less about anything else. He just hoped the camel would realize its mistake and run as fast as it could!

Otherwise, if that giant skeletal serpent catches up with him, given his Hundred Refinement Realm strength, there is absolutely no chance of survival!
