After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 826 Oasis and Plateau

He Lingchuan thought to himself, you just want to go to the Panlong ruins, why are you asking me hypocritically?He looked serious: "We have been to the ruins of Panlong. There are dragon pools and tiger dens. It is not suitable to approach. Father, we will be able to find out the direction after sunrise. Let's go back to the city."

He Chunhua was startled for being so straightforward.

The general at the side immediately said: "It looks like the sky is overcast and cloudy. I don't know when the sun will come out. It's not an option to wait in the desert all the time. The most urgent thing is to find the water source."

They chased the enemy in a hurry and did not bring much food and water.One night passed, and the men and horses were very thirsty.

It's all right if you don't have food, but you can't do without water.

Zhao Qinghe reminded: "A traveler who has been to the desert recently mentioned that there is an oasis near the Panlong ruins. Let's go and get some water first."

He Chunhua nodded: "Let's go straight to the source of water."

As soon as he gave an order, the Heishui City army headed towards the red light. Most of them had no objection and only complained a few words.

Anyway, everyone can't find their way in the desert, so it's better to go straight to the place where there is water.

This time, Tiangong and other forces went with the Heishuicheng army again.

Zhang Lianhai and the others were not very happy.They are going to the Panlong ruins to find out if there are any real treasures in the world, how many people are there, although the Blackwater City army is divided all the way, there are still 300 people, it would be strange not to rely on the number of people to snatch it.

But the desert is so big, they can't stop people from passing.

That red light looks conspicuous, but in fact, I don't know how far away it is.He Chunhua roughly estimated that it was at least a few tens of miles away.

Two hours later, the red light converged and dissipated again between heaven and earth.

The sky was bright at this time, but the sun still didn't come out.The disadvantage is that the whole army is still unable to find its direction, but the advantage is that the weather is not so hot, and the men and horses can barely move forward.

In this way until the end of the night (nearly 3 o'clock in the afternoon), the soldiers were exhausted, the lips of the soldiers were dry and chapped, and they didn't even have the strength to complain.

Everyone was dissatisfied, but no one dared to leave the team on their own.

Walking alone in the unpredictable desert is the rhythm of death.

Even Tiangong and Balingren didn't want to go out to find the way by themselves.

At this time, the Falcon flew down and reported the heavy news:
The oasis is just three miles ahead!

After receiving this exciting good news, everyone suddenly became motivated again and hurried forward.

Say three miles, it is three miles.

Turning over the low hill, the smell of water vapor hits the face.Clumps of green grass appeared one after another in front of them, and even the dwarf bushes had begun to twirl.

There are plants, although still sparse.

Then, they saw an oasis, an oasis in the vast yellow sand.

It sits low, just behind two huge semi-circular dunes.Even on a sunny day, it can only be seen at noon.

It has a large area and is formed by connecting three small lakes. The water is clear and the edges are green. There are birds and birds swimming leisurely in the lake.

This is a spectacle that most people in Heishui City have never seen before!

This is the Panlong Desert, a land condemned by the gods where a drop of rain was once hard to survive.

As soon as everyone walked over, they felt that the temperature dropped by at least ten degrees, and they were surrounded by the long-lost coolness.

The soldiers had no time to be amazed, and with a cheer, they led their mounts and rushed into the oasis.

But He Chunhua ordered to stop him: "What's the hurry, test it first!"

Even if there is an oasis in the desert, the water quality may not be suitable for human consumption.

The soldiers behind He Chunhua approached the water first, took out a small bowl to scoop up water, and threw a lotus seed into the bowl.

He Lingchuan also recognized this personal soldier, who seemed to be called Hu Xuan.One and a half years ago in Xinhuang Town, Xiazhou, he resolutely spent five years of his life to undo He Chunhua's ghost eye bow, and shot Dong Rui's ghost ape, and He Chunhua took him in as his own soldier on the spot.

It seems that he is now General He's confidant.

now it's right.What the leader is unwilling, unable, or afraid to do, if you do it for him, you may rise to the top.

Hu Xuan seized the opportunity.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the seeds germinated, grew leaves, and bloomed. It turned out to be a small bowl lotus with twelve inner and outer petals.

Its flowers are water red and very tender.

Only then did the soldiers say to He Chunhua: "My lord, you can drink."

This kind of plant is called xanthania, and the lotus seeds can be preserved for 20 years in a severe drought, and they will grow when they meet water.Its flower color will change according to the water quality. If it is water red, humans and animals can drink it; if it is blue or purple, it is best not to touch it; if it is black, tsk tsk, it proves that the water is poisonous.

Dry heart lotus seeds are best used to test water quality during long-distance marches and travels, and He Lingchuan also has them.

Without waiting for He Chunhua's order, the Heishuicheng army rushed into the lake, and all the troops let go of their stomachs and drank heavily.The joy and joy of meeting rain after a long drought is nothing better than this, right?
Qiu Hu and the others saw He Lingchuan nodding before going to the lake to drink.

Which side has strict military discipline can be discerned at a glance.

The blue sheep drank a few sips of water and began to eat the grass on the bank. He Lingchuan also washed his face with water, let out a long breath, and felt a little dazed for a while.

This oasis also exists in Panlong World. It has a wider area. It is a standard lake wetland. There are forests, post stations, and a small temple on the side.

He Lingchuan scooped water and drank horses here many times, and even caught a big fish weighing five catties, roasted it together with the door panel and ate it.

Time has passed, and after 70 years, the small lake has returned.

So, what about Panlong City?
He looks into the distance.

At this time, Zhang Lianhai was also looking up into the distance, because at the end of his vision, a large plateau appeared on the horizon.

The high slope rising hundreds of feet from the ground, even if it is so far away, still has a majestic and desolate momentum.

He murmured, "That's the Chipa Plateau."

On the Chipa Plateau, there is the destination of their trip:
The ruins of Panlong City!
Tiangong made two emergency alerts, allowing them to find out the reasons for the changes in the Panlong Desert as soon as possible, and sent new help.

Nearly a year ago, there was a sudden change in the ruins, and the concern of the Tiangong and the gods for the Panlong Desert increased significantly.

The few times before entering the desert, Zhang Lianhai went around countless times but couldn't find it.This time, he followed the Heishuicheng army, but was guided by the red light.

why?

Is it because the light of the mirage turned red a few days ago, indicating that the treasure is about to appear in the world?

After drinking enough water, the horses began to eat the green grass on the bank, but the people were so hungry that their stomachs growled.Most of the soldiers had already finished their dry rations, and seeing others stuffing pancakes into their mouths, they were all swallowing hard.

Although the oasis is good, the fish in the water are not as long as their tails. They hide from people when they see them, and they can't wrap their stomachs.

The Heishuicheng army pursued the Anton people and captured many horses along the way.Zhao Qinghe came over to ask He Chunhua if he should kill horses and eat meat.

A horse weighs more than 600 catties, and killing one horse is enough for so many people to eat meat.

He Chunhua waved his hand: "Why kill the horse?"

He asked He Lingchuan: "Do you still have fragrant dumplings?"

How did dad know he had it?He Lingchuan had no choice but to contribute a little stock solution.

Then He Chunhua ordered someone to kill a prisoner of Anton, stuffed a black pot in his clothes, poured the smelly liquid on the body, and then dug a big hole in the sand to half bury him.

He has led soldiers and handled logistics, and he knows that a war horse is more valuable than a prisoner at this time.

Soon, there was movement at the bottom of the sand.

Everyone heard a rustling sound coming from their feet, and part of the sand sank.

Then, the captive's body was jerked by something and dragged into the sand.

The thread tied to the captive stretched straight.

When the thing on the sand bottom was pulled hard again, the thread as thick as a finger broke.

"Bang", there was a loud bang.

Something exploded under the yellow sand, blowing the sand half a foot high, and the feet of those standing nearby were numb from the shock.

He Chunhua waited for a few breaths and saw no new movement in the ground, then pointed to the sand and ordered everyone: "Dig it out!"

The soldiers started to work one after another, and quickly dug out a big guy from the sand:

It is about four feet long (13 meters), round and fat, like an eel or an earthworm, with links on its torso.

It was so big that everyone couldn't hang it up, so they had to scrape off the sand around it.

Zhang Lianhai and other outsiders also came to watch: "What is this?"

I seem to have seen such a big guy when going in and out of the desert.

"Earth dragon, a special product in the sand sea." He Lingchuan explained to them, "A few months ago, these things would attack travelers. Now they usually hide underground and don't come out much."

Other deserts also have earth dragons, but they are usually not this big.The alien species in the Panlong Desert are all influenced by the Dafang Pot.Now the Dafang pots have changed, their aggressiveness disappears along with their hostility, and they have turned back into scavengers lurking underground.

There was a big hole in the belly of this earth dragon, which was obviously the power of the can of explosives.

The crowd couldn't move it, so they simply chopped off a large piece of flesh from it, pulled off the sticky tendons, then peeled the skin, washed the meat, smeared it with salt, and put it on the fire to roast.

The meat of earth dragon is plump and delicate, much like eel, and has always been a delicacy on the tables of Heishui City people.Zhang Lianhai and the others were a little apprehensive at first, but after eating a few pieces of barbecue, they stopped thinking about it.

Such a behemoth is enough for the whole army to eat many meals.

After resting in the oasis for about two quarters of an hour, these expedition teams broke up with the army and couldn't wait to go to the Chipa Plateau.

They walked without looking back, because everyone knew very well that once they entered the ruins of Panlong, everyone was a competitor, and the previous friendship of jointly killing the enemy had long since disappeared.

He Chunhua filled the water bag, pointed to the Chipa Plateau and said to He Lingchuan: "Let's go there too."

"Ah?" He Lingchuan looked reluctant, "Going?"

"Have you forgotten why Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu came last time?"

He Lingchuan resentfully: "Didn't that black dragon say that the Dafang Pot and Panlong City are connected as one, so it can't be taken out at all?"

"Now there is a change, otherwise why do so many people come to it?" He Chunhua said solemnly, "Actually, Sun Fuping is right in saying that the Dafang pot can change the outcome of the battle. Dong Haoming rebelled endlessly, if we can get the Dafang pot, That is the luck of Da Yuan!"

If he could release the three corpses to help out, it would be no problem to put down Dong Haoming's rebellion!
"Then go, dad." How is this tactic different from that of Sun Fuping back then?He Lingchuan plucked his ears, "I'm here to support you."
