Chapter 492: Treasure Hunt in the Desert

The clatter of horse hooves heads westward.

Pass through the vast plains, cross the rolling mountains, and travel through the endless grasslands.

The surrounding green gradually faded and human habitation became sparse and rare.

Half a month after leaving Shang Jingtian, Zhang Yuan entered a vast Gobi Desert.

As night slowly fell, he chose a place that was sheltered from the wind and sand as his campsite for the night.

Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry to set up a tent or a campfire. He took out fodder, beans and water from the storage space and fed his mount which had been running for most of the day.

The yellow horse rubbed Zhang Yuan's head affectionately to express its gratitude.

Although it is not Shang Jingtian's "royal" mount, it is also a first-class horse. Not only is it of excellent quality, but it is also quite human-friendly, which is incomparable to ordinary horses.

After traveling thousands of miles together, Zhang Yuan began to develop some feelings for this yellow horse with great endurance.

Therefore, he was never used to death.

Most of the time, he would alternate between riding the yellow horse and the gray-tusked lynx.

After placing the mount, Zhang Yuan took out the tent, firewood, food ingredients and pots.

Soon, under a rock exposed on the surface, a bonfire was burning, with pickled meat skewers on it, making this cold night no longer lonely.

Zhang Yuan lay on a rattan chair, eating the delicious barbecue and admiring the night view of the Gobi Desert.

Looking up, the stars in the sky are exceptionally bright and large, as if you can pick one with your hand.

The wind blowing from afar carried the howling of wild beasts, proving that this vast Gobi Desert was not a forbidden zone for life.

Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed a wine gourd, unscrewed the cork and took a big sip.

Once the liquor goes down your throat, you will know the taste!
The long night passed quietly without any trouble.

The next morning, a strong wind blew over the Gobi Desert. The howling wind carried with it countless grains of sand, and visibility dropped sharply.

With no other options, Zhang Yuan could only continue hiding in the temporary camp.

This kind of weather is really not suitable for traveling.

Fortunately, he had stockpiled a large amount of supplies in the storage space for this long journey across the desert.

Not to mention one or two days, there will be no shortage of supplies even for a year or two.

This fierce gale ended on the fourth day after Zhang Yuan entered the Gobi Desert.

The sky was clear again.

Zhang Yuan packed his luggage and continued on his journey on his yellow horse.

The environment in the Gobi Desert is harsh, and it is very easy for people who are not familiar with the terrain to get lost.

But Zhang Yuan had a treasure map as a navigation tool, so he basically wouldn't go wrong.

He estimated that if everything went well, they would be able to cross this vast Gobi Desert in five or six days.

And the next day, Zhang Yuan discovered a little surprise.

To be precise, it was the red-eyed crows patrolling in the sky that discovered an oasis in the heart of the Gobi Desert!

Although Zhang Yuan had no shortage of supplies, it was still a delight to encounter an oasis in this uninhabited Gobi Desert.

He quickened his pace and after half an hour's galloping, he arrived at the oasis.

The oasis is not very large. Its main part is a crescent-shaped spring pool, and there are many green trees and vegetation growing around this water source, making it the only bright spot within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Sigh~
The yellow horse smelled the sweet scent of water and grass, raised its head excitedly, neighed loudly, and ran away with all four hooves spread out.

Rushed all the way to the Crescent Moon Pond.

Zhang Yuan jumped off his horse.

The sweaty yellow horse lowered its head to drink the sweet and clear spring water in big gulps, and chewed the fresh grass growing by the pond happily, its tail wagging with joy.

Zhang Yuan patted its neck with amusement, and then walked around the oasis. There were not many animals in the oasis. After all, the area was very limited and could not accommodate wild animals.

But there are quite a few animal footprints, probably left when they came to drink water.

Zhang Yuan returned to the pond and decided to spend the night there.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Red-Eyed Crow had made a new discovery!

After receiving the warning from the mysterious spirit, Zhang Yuan immediately switched his view to it.

It turned out that about 20 to 30 miles southeast of the oasis, a long camel caravan was heading towards this side.

Based on the route taken by this team, it is easy to determine that their destination is this oasis.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and controlled the Red-Eyed Crow to fly towards the camel caravan.

Conducting close observation.

The team consisted of more than a hundred Bactrian camels, most of which were loaded with heavy cargo, and the others were ridden by strong warriors.

These warriors are strong and dark-skinned, with obvious exotic features. They wear long robes and carry scimitars on their waists. Some even carry bows and arrows. The aura they exude is unmatched by ordinary warriors.

Zhang Yuan also noticed that there was a rather luxurious camel cart following in the middle of the camel caravan.

The camel cart is pulled by four white camels and is guarded by several veiled and graceful female warriors.

He should be the leader of the camel caravan.

After completing the observation, Zhang Yuan recalled the Red-Eyed Crow.

Although the appearance of this camel caravan, which was supposed to be a merchant caravan, was unexpected, he had no intention of leaving the oasis.

We met by chance, so we should just keep to ourselves and live in peace.

Of course, if the other party wants to cause trouble, Zhang Yuan is not afraid.

So he pitched his tent by the pool, built a fire, and began to prepare his supper.

As the sun was about to set below the horizon, the camel caravan finally arrived.

The guards of the camel caravan apparently discovered Zhang Yuan's presence, so they sent two people to rush over aggressively.

Seeing Zhang Yuan leisurely grilling meat, the two warriors pulled the reins and looked at each other in surprise.

The two of them made quite a noise.

But Zhang Yuan turned a deaf ear and didn't seem to care at all.

Either Zhang Yuan is deaf and blind, or he has enough confidence to face any danger.

The former is obviously impossible!

One of the warriors touched his chest and saluted on the hunchback, saying, "I am Buzzard from the Hulan tribe. May I ask your name?"

Zhang Yuan turned his head and glanced at the other person, then replied calmly, "My name is Zhang Yuan. What can I do for you?"

This warrior named Buzzard should have the strength of fourth-level cultivation. He has a rough appearance, bright eyes, and old scars on his face. It is obvious that he is a man who has experienced many battles.

Upon hearing Zhang Yuan's answer, Buzzard couldn't help but frown.

The Hulun tribe was very famous, and he was not an unknown person either. But looking at Zhang Yuan's expression, it seemed like he had never heard of them.

The warrior couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

But he had been in the underworld for a long time, and without knowing Zhang Yuan's background, he did not dare to act rashly.

So he smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Our tribe's caravan is going to camp here tonight. Please forgive me if I disturb you!"

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Since the other party is polite, Zhang Yuan naturally won't get angry.

He immediately nodded and said, "No problem." (End of this chapter)
