Self-cultivation of cannon fodder through books

This night, nothing unusual happened, and the three of them slept until dawn.

The cook in the village has already prepared breakfast and placed it in the small hall of the guest room. The servants have already prepared clean water and food, and put them in the yard. Stay in China for a month.

There are also five strong camels in the yard, and someone is loading the camels with goods.

The servants are methodical and busy with each other lightly, and they are well-trained at a glance.

Wang Ding believed that what Su Yuqing said was correct, if he was successfully robbed by Meng Yanzhi last night, then these servants would retreat silently overnight without leaving any traces.

I'm still too tender, hey.

"It's so early in the morning, why are you sighing." Su Yuqing patted his head, "Good morning."

Wang Ding slapped away his groping hand, "Take your hands and feet early in the morning."

Su Yuqing said poorly, "I only moved my hands, but not my feet."

"Where's Miss Xia?" Wang Ding looked upstairs, "Are you still awake?"

"I got up early."

Xia Man tilted her head from the back of a camel. Her petite figure was blocked by the tall camels. It was hard to spot without looking carefully.

"Did you not sleep well?" Wang Ding asked, he was worried that Xia Man was too worried about Bian Jiangling's insomnia.

"I slept pretty well." Xia Man touched the hump, "It's just that I woke up early, and I came down to watch them work anyway."

"The camels we bought at the market are incomparable to these." Wang Ding also touched the camel's fur, which was smooth and smooth, and was usually well fed.

A servant who was loading the goods answered, with a strong sense of pride in his words, "These camels are good seedlings that our master bought from foreigners. We raised them from a young age. They are fat and strong, with good physical strength and endurance. Good, good memory too."

Su Yuqing smiled and said, "Thank you so much."

"Hu Si, you talk too much."

Meng Yanzhi appeared in the courtyard, still dressed in white, but looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes faintly visible.

He reprimanded with some displeasure, and he could see that he usually disciplined his servants quite strictly.

The man named Hu Si hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "The villain talks too much."

"I'm sorry, I'm not strict with discipline." Meng Yanzhi cupped his fists, "Everyone, please have breakfast."

Not only did Meng Yanzhi look haggard, but he was also in a very low mood, so low that he didn't even wear a fan.

"What are you scolding him for? He just introduced camels to us." Wang Ding also greeted politely, "Good morning, Mr. Meng, let's have dinner together."

Hearing these two words, Meng Yanzhi's expression sank a bit, and he forced out a smile, "Okay."

……

Su Yuqing was the first to put down the bowl, "Mr. Meng even came here to see us off on purpose, please excuse me."

Looking at Meng Yanzhi's expression and actions, he thought to himself that he would not follow them to Oasis Dragon City, which is also normal, who would follow a group of people to deal with his father?

"I'll come over to see how the servants are preparing. I can fill in if there are any omissions." Meng Yanzhi had no appetite. He only drank a bowl of gruel, put down his chopsticks, and smiled wryly, "I've been thinking about it all night, and I've been thinking about it all night. I am so entangled, I sincerely regard you as friends, and I don’t want to see my father hurt you; but as a son, I don’t want to see you kill my father, so I can only choose to stay here and be a shrinking head turtle."

Su Yuqing said, "We understand."

During the conversation, several people had finished their breakfast, and the servants outside the courtyard also bundled up their supplies and equipped them on the camels.

Meng Yanzhi took out a wooden disc-shaped object from his arms, "This compass has been modified so that it will not be affected by the chaotic atmosphere of the desert, and it can accurately identify the direction. Please accept it, it is my kindness."

Wang Ding was not hypocritical, and just accepted it, "Thank you."

"I just hope you don't hate me." Meng Yanzhi said, "If it weren't for what I did, Hero Bian wouldn't be arrested, and you wouldn't use it to risk yourself..."

"Mr. Meng." Xia Man interrupted him, "It's useless to mention the past. Looking forward is the right way. Now we only have the belief in rescuing Hero Bian."

Wang Ding nodded, "Miss Xia is right, it is meaningless to say these things now. Mr. Meng, I don't hate you, really. Everything is preordained."

They are all moths created by the damn system, even if Meng Yanzhi doesn't play tricks, Li Yanzhi and Wang Yanzhi will appear...

The system just doesn't make him feel better, and no one can change it.

Meng Yanzhi sneered, "That's good, that's good."

The three of them bid farewell to Meng Yanzhi, led the camel, and continued westward, looking for the mysterious place of death—Oasis Dragon City.

The climate in the desert is extreme, and there are storms from time to time. When they walked out of the gate of Zhuangzi, the scene in front of them was not the same as when they came yesterday.

Another strange thing is that they didn't see the sun when they went out early in the morning.

Without the sun, you can't tell the direction.

No wonder Meng Yanzhi asked them to bring this compass. Now these camels have never been to that place, and they can't lead the way. They can only rely on themselves.

Wang Ding, who came from modern times, naturally knows that the magnetic field in the desert sometimes interferes with various machines and signals. This compass does not know how to avoid the interference of the magnetic field.

This is life saving stuff.

However...he can't recognize the compass!

This thing is much more difficult than a compass, and the densely packed landmarks on it make people dizzy. Although he has also written supernatural novels, to be honest, his knowledge of Feng Shui is basically zero.

There will be indications in the middle of the modern compass, but the compass in this world has obviously not evolved to such a superficial level.

Wang Ding stuffed the compass into Su Yuqing's arms and coughed, "Come and see, I'm too lazy to look."

"Okay." Su Yuqing didn't expose him, took the compass with a smile and looked carefully.

Xia Man: ...

Such a doting smile is when my light bulb does not exist!

Su Yuqing studied for a while, then stretched out his hand towards a place, "Due West is over there."

In the direction of his finger, a huge raised sand dune can be seen in the distance, and it seems that he has to cross that sand dune.

Wang Ding took a deep breath, "Let's go."

Xia Man nodded, "Okay."

Camels carry heavy loads, and they should not be ridden unless absolutely necessary.

The few people had a good rest, they all had martial arts, and there was enough water and food. Even in the hot and desolate desert, they didn't feel too tired.

After they turned over the huge sand dune, what they saw was a dead Populus euphratica forest with huge trunks.

Populus euphratica is one of the most tenacious plants in the desert. They can absorb underground water with their powerful roots. If you see living poplar euphratica in the desert, then there must be water under the sand.

If it is a piece of dead Populus euphratica, it means that there used to be rivers in this land.

The dead Populus euphratica trees still stand tenaciously in the desert, continuing the legend that they will not rot for thousands of years after their death, and silently telling the history of this land from oasis to desert.

"Maybe this place used to be an oasis." Wang Ding lamented the cruelty of nature, "but now there is no grass growing, even the Populus euphratica is dead."

Su Yuqing said: "This is also in line with the legend about the lifelessness around the oasis Dragon City. It seems that we are already close to the destination. Maybe that place is a veritable oasis, but something happened, and the oasis disappeared. turned into a place of death."

Xia Man asked: "You don't believe in the legend that there is a dragon buried in that place?"

Su Yuqing said: "I don't really believe it, isn't the dragon a legend?"

Wang Ding snorted, "But you've already seen Fengniao."

Su Yuqing: ...

"So don't jump to conclusions so quickly, young man." Wang Ding patted Su Yuqing's shoulder like a big brother, "Anything is possible."

What's more, even if a Super Saiyan appeared in front of him now, he wouldn't be surprised. With the existence of the little, goblin, system, nothing strange would happen.

Su Yuqing: "No, there is something absolutely impossible."

Wang Ding: "What?"

Su Yuqing moved closer to his ear and lowered her voice, "You absolutely cannot suppress me."

Wang Ding: ...

He was so angry that he kicked Su Yuqing, but this guy got out of the way and walked to the front.

Xia Man walked behind and said silently: I didn't hear anything, I couldn't understand anything...

It's a pity that this kind of joking time is short-lived. As they walked westward and closer to that ghostly place, the three of them lost their mood for teasing, and their whole body became heavy, as if something was twisting their hearts , even breathing becomes difficult.

Perhaps this is the shock of the land of the dead.

Wang Ding stopped and looked towards the sky.

"Look."

I don't know when, the blue sky has become gray, it seems that there is a layer of haze blocking the ground and the vast blue sky.

Looking forward, the sky that cannot be seen in the distance is so gloomy and gray, as if this is a place of death isolated in the desert.
