In the Clouds: Mulan Line

Chapter 25
Early the next morning, as soon as Hua Mulan opened the door, she saw Wu Nan standing at the door with bloodshot eyes and black eyes.

And behind him, Ligu, who was a little excited, followed.

Wu Nan took a deep breath and said, "When are you planning to leave?"

Hua Mulan raised her eyebrows, and asked puzzledly, "Master Wunan, what are you..."

"Aren't you going to Heishahai? I agree, I'll take you there."

Wu Nan seemed to let out a long breath because of making this decision, Hua Mulan was pleasantly surprised, she glanced at Li Gu, could it be that Li Gu persuaded him?

However, Li Gu didn't say much, and Wu Nan didn't explain why he changed his mind. Of course, Hua Mulan and the three of them would not be entangled in this issue.

On the same day, the team of Hua Mulan and his party changed from three people to five people. Besides, there were also three-humped camels.

Two peaks are used to hold food and water, and one peak is ridden by Wu Nan.

But things didn't go so smoothly. When Hua Mulan and his party left from Mingsha City, a huge sand boat suddenly lay in front of them.

A group of people stood on the sand boat, among them was a familiar figure, the woman Hua Mulan and the others saw at the gate of the city yesterday, the Golden Ring Snake Girl.

However, the Golden Ring Snake didn't seem to be the center of this group of people this time. In front of the Golden Ring Snake stood a man wearing a fur cloak and wearing black long spur riding boots.

There was an obvious scar on his face, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

Hua Mulan noticed that Ligu was only a little apprehensive when he saw the Golden Ring Snake, but when he saw this man, he was both a little disgusted and a little scared.

"Uncle Wunan, are you going out?" The Golden Ring Snake Girl greeted her with a smile.

In Mingsha City, despite Wu Nan's desolate appearance, the sand boat he owns is enough to earn him respect. Even the proud Golden Ring Snake Girl will not disrespect Wu Nan.

Wu Nan looked at the posture in front of him, and he roughly understood the purpose of the Golden Ring Snake Girl's appearance.

The Sons of Sand Sea are a group of lunatics with the blood of adventurers flowing in their bones. The combination of these two words, treasure and mysterious adventure land, is enough to make the Sons of Sand Sea crazy.

And in the sea of ​​black sand, there are indeed treasures!

Not to mention anything else, just the jade mines there make people crazy.

In fact, before that, after learning that Wu Nan strayed into Heishahai by mistake and came out alive, someone suggested to Heishahai, wanting Wunan to lead the way, saying that he would get half of the treasures, but Wunan flatly rejected them all.

Because Wu Nan is the owner of the castle, no one can force him if he doesn't want to go.

But now, Wu Nan promised Hua Mulan and others to go to Heishahai, this is different.

Hua Mulan and his party did not hide their purpose before, and many interested people had already heard some rumors when they communicated in front of the booth.Afterwards, the Golden Ring Snake Girl and her party quickly came upon hearing the news.

The Golden Ring Snake Girl and the others have been thinking about the Black Sand Sea for a long time, and they will never let go of such an opportunity this time.

"Uncle Wunan, you are finally planning to leave the mountain this time!"

The Golden Ring Snake jumped down from the sand boat. She was still wearing a black gauze. As her figure flew down, the clothes on her body floated up like clouds, smooth and graceful, and her eyes were very direct and generous.

Wu Nan glanced at the Golden Ring Snake, but he didn't bother to reply. He took off the hookah hanging on the camel, stuffed it with a handful of tobacco leaves, and sat on the back of the camel, smoking the hookah one mouthful at a time: "This young , can't you live well?"

"Haha! Uncle Wunan, what are you talking about? For us sons of Shahai, if we are locked up at home every day, it will be more uncomfortable than killing us. For us, the only way to live well is to go out and take risks, isn't it? ?"

The man in the fur scarf also jumped off the sand boat. When he was talking to Wu Nan, he didn't pay attention to Li Gu at all, and he didn't say hello to Li Gu.

And his attitude seemed to have followed them all.

Ligu was a little depressed. He had finally persuaded Wunan to go to Heishahai with them, but he never expected that this group of unexpected guests came before he left, and they shamelessly wanted to follow them.

"Who are they?" Hua Mulan looked at Ligu and asked.

The way the man looked at the three of them just now made Hua Mulan feel a little uncomfortable.

Ligu gritted his teeth and said: "This man is called Amu Boa. He is the elder brother of the Golden Ring Snake Girl. As brothers and sisters, they are all equally bad. Although we, the sons of Shahai, are supposed to compete with each other, but they... often use some inferior For the sake of wealth, they will not hesitate to use any means. Everything they do is to get more sand boats and more manpower to improve their status in Mingsha City."

When Ligu said this, he frowned in disgust, and continued: "Did you see those people on their sand boat? They are all subordinates of their brother and sister, but those people are not the children of Shahai , are all recruited by them from the outside, saying that they are free adventurers, but in my opinion, these are probably some vicious people."

Hua Mulan looked at those people when she heard the words, and the most conspicuous one was a burly man with a bare upper body, with well-textured tendon and flesh densely tied up, like a little mouse, and a huge tattoo on his chest. The tiger head is two meters tall, standing there like an iron tower.

In stark contrast to the big man is a man on the mast.

He is only more than half the height of a big man, like a monkey, squatting steadily on the top of a tall mast, with a red turban tied on his head, and a cylindrical thing in his mouth. Hua Mulan took a closer look and found that The cylindrical thing is a bomb.

"Those two people..." Hua Mulan pointed out the location to Ligu without leaving any trace, "Who are they?"

Ligu obviously didn't have any good impressions of Amu Boa's people: "You mean that stupid guy? His nickname is Kui Hu, and the names of Amu Boa's accomplices are all kinds of animals. This Kui Hu seems to be a country in the cloud that has perished. As for the dwarf, nicknamed Mandrill, he was originally a criminal, and he didn’t do anything related to people. He was caught because of arson and explosion, and he was put in a dungeon 50 meters deep. Unfortunately, he was arrested later His country was destroyed, and he also ran out."

Uh... midget?
Hua Mulan was a little dumbfounded. In all fairness, although the man was a little short, he was not a dwarf. Moreover, he was thin and his proportions looked normal.

But indeed, as Ligu said, these people are not so much adventurers as they are more like desperadoes...

Most of these people have a fierce temperament, their eyes are either gloomy and cold, or flashing with a faint blood light, it can be seen that they are all people with bloody hands.

As for the Anaconda and his younger sister, the Golden Ring Snake, they were able to recruit such a group of people, and it was indeed not a good thing...

If we really want to enter the Black Sand Sea together, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether these people are enemies or friends.

"In the past, they wanted to persuade Uncle Wunan to go to the Black Sand Sea to hunt for treasures, but Uncle Wunan flatly refused. This time they caught the opportunity, and they definitely didn't want to give up. Seeing that they brought so many people, just Know that they are bound to obtain the treasures in the Black Sand Sea."

"Just wait and see, they will definitely pester you endlessly. But in order to avoid complications, Uncle Wunan should not agree. It still depends on how Uncle Wunan plans to handle this matter."

Although Ligu said that he looked down on the behavior style of the brothers and sisters of Amu Ana, but when he talked about the strength of Amu Ana, there was still a trace of envy and resentment in his eyes.

Among the strength established by the two of Amu Bo, part of it was obtained by suppressing him!

While Hua Mulan and the others were observing the group of people, Amu Bo was also testing Wunan's attitude further: "Uncle Wunan, you are also the son of Shahai, you will not refuse this time, right?"

Ligu finally couldn't help but sneered from the side: "Your idea is wrong, we are not going to hunt for treasure..."

However, at this time, Wu Nan said: "If you want to follow, then follow."

Li Gu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked anxiously: "Uncle, what are you..."

Taking this group of people, isn't it just asking for trouble for yourself!

He didn't understand how Uncle Wunan would agree to bring these people along!

Wu Nan knocked the soot in the hookah, and muttered, "Everyone is going to die. The eagle in the sky can't save you, and the God of Sand Sea on the ground can't save you either. It's up to you."

When he realized that Wu Nan really didn't care whether they followed or not, Amu Bo showed a hearty smile: "Thank you, Uncle Wu Nan! According to the rules of our sons of Sha Hai, as long as the treasures are obtained, they will be distributed to brothers and sisters We have one!"

The Golden Ring Snake also showed a sweet smile, then glanced at Ligu, and raised an eyebrow at him.

Ligu: ...

Damn woman!

Amu Bo was in a great mood. He thought that this matter would not be so easy to achieve, but he didn't expect Wu Nan to be so talkative this time. As for what Wu Nan said about death, he just ignored it.

"Uncle Wunan, why don't you come on board with us? My sand boat is not only strong, but also very comfortable. It has been specially reserved for Uncle's room."

"No need."

This anaconda seems to be very thoughtful, and his words are bright and generous. If he hadn't just learned about his character from Ligu and saw something wrong with his subordinates, he might really regard this man as a hero.

At this time, Amu Bona seemed to have noticed Hua Mulan's gaze, turned his head to look over, and then said with a smile: "The three seem to be bounty hunters? Judging by the strength of the three, they must not be weak. We, the son of Shahai, respect the strong most , especially I, Amu Boa, like to make friends with powerful people!"

Hua Mulan said with a blank expression: "Then you may easily make bad friends. You don't have to show your strength. It's safer to have real swords and guns."

Amu Bona's hearty smile suddenly became a little stiff.

And Baili Shouyue coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Captain, he is just testing us."

The anaconda must have been full of doubts about the three outsiders who had persuaded Wu Nan and wanted to go to the Black Sand Sea with them.

Originally, Amu Bo wanted to say a few polite words first, to test the strength of Hua Mulan and the three of them... and then to find out what the real purpose of Hua Mulan and the three of them, as bounty hunters, came to Heishahai.

Of course he had heard that Hua Mulan and the others wanted to go to Heishahai to save people... But Amu Boa simply scoffed at this reason.

Take such a big risk and put in all your effort just to save some people who are neither relatives nor old friends?
This reason is too perfunctory. In Amu Bo's view, no matter whether Hua Mulan and the others are bounty hunters or adventurers, they must also go for the treasure in the Black Sand Sea!

However, as soon as Amu Bona's temptation started, Hua Mulan directly blocked him back.

Of course he didn't think that Hua Mulan really thought so, he just felt that Hua Mulan deliberately used such words to choke him.

For a moment, Amu Bona's eyes became slightly gloomy.

However, his mind was deep, and he still smiled at Hua Mulan on the surface: "Then we must have a chance to learn from each other."

Then, he turned to Wunan: "Uncle Wunan, let's get on the sandboat."

"If I say no, I don't need it. I am comfortable riding a camel."

Wu Nan has a lot of sand boats, but this time he went to Heishahai, he didn't use any of them, he only rode a camel.

In fact, Wunan's sand boats have not been moved for many years.

And Hua Mulan couldn't help touching Yuzi in her arms after listening to Amu Boa's words, and said to Baili Shouyue and Kai: "This Amu Boa is really smiling..."

Quickly touch Yuzai to calm down.

Not far away, the Golden Ring Snake rolled her eyes, and also seemed to glance at the three of Hua Mulan unintentionally, and finally focused her gaze on Hua Mulan, with a flash of interest in her eyes.

……

Sand Sea——

It is rumored that although there was not much rain in the clouds in ancient times, there were also large oases and wetlands, and ancient countries dotted with dots were born on this land.

Among them, the most brilliant ones are the 36 Kingdoms in the Clouds.

These countries all once had their own beliefs and splendid civilizations.

And Sha Zhou's unique vehicle using black crystal sand is one of the technologies that spread out during the chaos of the 36 countries in the cloud in the past. It was mastered by a group of scavengers. Afterwards, these scavengers relied on this technology. Surviving in a group in a chaotic situation, they gradually developed their influence and formed a business group called Sons of Sha Hai, anyone can join...

Later, more and more people lived in the sand sea, and the number of sand boats became larger and larger, and a huge mobile city was built, and such a city eventually split out to form a new mobile city...

Later, due to fewer and fewer wetlands and oases, coupled with the wars between countries, the invasion of foreign enemies, and the rampage of demons, the 36 countries in Yunzhong, except Yucheng, and the rest of the countries gradually declined and collapsed.

Of course, there are also many people who say that it is precisely because of the demise of the 36 countries that Yunzhong withered.

As the years passed, the ruthless yellow sand buried the perishing country deep underground, and gradually, the current sea of ​​sand in the clouds was formed.

The yellow sand is vast, those sand dunes standing in the long wind, like angry golden waves, have been arbitrarily shaped into various undulating shapes for thousands of years.

The crisp sound of camel bells came, and the camel hooves walked on the ridge of the dunes, stepping down rows of yellow sand and rolling, leaving deep and shallow hoof prints on the original perfect sand waves.

A rather desolate-looking man was riding on an old camel, holding a hookah in his arms, leaning his back comfortably on the hump, dozing off, already half asleep and half awake.

For this, the three of Hua Mulan really admired it.

After coming out of Mingsha City, they walked all the way, the sun above their heads was getting hotter and hotter, and the sand under their feet was getting hotter and hotter.

Wu Nan was always sleeping on the back of the camel, and the camel bumped all the way, and he would not fall off.

It is a torment for ordinary people to move forward in such an environment, but for Wu Nan, even if it cannot be said to be enjoyment, it can be regarded as relaxed and leisurely.

Of course, with the will of Hua Mulan and the three of them, they would never be moved by this tribulation. At most, Hua Mulan just paid more attention to the little Yuzai in her arms.

I don't know if it's because she doesn't want to get close to people like Amu Bona, even after leaving Mingsha City, Xiaoyu still huddles in Hua Mulan's arms and refuses to come out.

Hua Mulan:……

If you are timid, be timid, anyway, Xiaoyu regards her as a safe haven, and she also feels the coolness provided by Xiaoyu, which can be regarded as mutual help.

Speaking of which, even in such a hot environment, Yuzai, a special living body, has always been close to a living person like her, but it is still icy and cool, and feels very good.

At this time, seeing that it was almost lunch time, Baili Shouyu patted Kai on the shoulder: "Kai, lend me your magic armor?"

"can."

After Kai first agreed, he asked with some doubts: "You keep the promise... what are you going to use it for?"

Baili Shouyue smiled: "Look at the weather, you can put the magic armor in the sun and use it as a frying pan to fry dried meat." Kai was silent for a while, and said with some difficulty: "Shou promise ...Maybe the magic armor can't think that it can have such a...use?"

At this time, it was Hua Mulan who rescued Kai: "Forget about the dried meat, we have to save food."

"Is that so..." Baili Shouyue thought for a while, nodded and said, "The food we brought may last for more than ten days, but we just walk at this speed, but we don't know when we will find Heishahai .”

Speaking of which, it was a pity for Baili to keep the promise: "Oh, such a big sun, but there is no need for it..."

Hua Mulan:……

Just let the sun hang on well, don't always think about doing something with it.

And when Kai saw Baili's regretful eyes, he seemed a little hesitant...

Then Hua Mulan patted Kai on the shoulder quickly: "Kai, how is your control of the magic armor recently?"

As soon as he brought up the business, Kai really looked serious: "Thank you Captain for your concern, but the magic armor..."

Yuzai arched in his arms, and Hua Mulan patted its head, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

It's really dangerous.
