A Delicious and Flammable Backlands Tour

"Okay, but the hope of our family can only be pinned on you for now."

Regarding this, the elder did not appear angry, but took out a bag of coins from his pocket in a somewhat despondent manner, and handed it to Xia Zhi.

"It's a little thought, you can do whatever you want."

Xia Zhi thought about it, she really didn't have much money on her, and Katia left, but no one paid for her.

"I'll just accept it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."

The elder heard the meaning of active cooperation from Xia Zhi's words, and he respectfully sent Xia Zhi out of the mansion.

Ten minutes later, Xia Zhi walked slowly to the hotel in the oasis, shaking the purse in his hand.It was getting dark, and he planned to go back and plan his itinerary before resting.

"Ah, Mr. Xia Zhi!"

A voice of surprise came from inside the hotel.

Xia Zhi heard the reputation and looked over, and Katia was sitting on the table in the hall waiting.

"Aren't you leaving yet? This movement is too slow."

"Well, we can only wait until tomorrow." Katya explained the situation with some helplessness.

In fact, she did follow Xia Zhi's advice and prepared to leave the oasis with the caravan.But just as they were about to leave the city, a traveler fled in a panic from afar.He was covered in bruises and stumbled to report to the guard:

"Sand, the sand thief is here!"

Therefore, the caravan could only return to the oasis.At the same time, the guards of the oasis are also stricter in checking the passing personnel.Katia and the others have a clean family background and nothing will happen, but a delay of a day or two is unavoidable.

"At this point in time, will there be robbers?"

Xia Zhi was a little puzzled.

"I didn't see it when I came here."

"I'm afraid it's because of the earthquake. Every time a disaster happens, these moths will come out to snatch the goods."

A person at the next table cursed bitterly.

"They dare not attack large chambers of commerce, but they never let go of small convoys. The earthquake in the morning made these guys restless again."

"..."

Hearing this, Xia Zhi was silent.The earthquake in the morning seemed to be caused by him seducing the desert scorcher.

"Ahem, no matter what the reason is, we can only wait a few days and leave with the other teams."

Katya didn't think about Xia Zhi, she was distressed by the time delay.

But half a minute later, she realized that something was wrong with her behavior.She cheered up and looked at Xia Zhi.

"Let's not talk about this, thanks to you, at least we have solved the most difficult problem."

"Well, it does have to be celebrated."

Xia Zhi was also very happy because he killed the desert scourge, and he opened the money bag to get the money.Anyway, I can't find a goblin engineer for a while, so the money is not wasted.

Life is full of joy, so that the gold is empty for the moon.

As soon as he opened the purse, he realized that what Man Chang put into the purse was not gold coins, but a full ten platinum coins.This purchasing power is enough for him to purchase several properties here.

"Oh, the old man is very sincere. Xiaoer, serve the best dishes to our team and reward them!"

Xia Zhi didn't choose to take the platinum coin, but took a gold coin to pay the bill.

"Hey, Mr. Xia Zhi, obviously we should pay for it..."

Katya was a little dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, I just paid the bounty of the Scourge and made a small fortune."

Xia Zhi shook the purse, allowing her to see the platinum coins inside.

"Should recognize this?"

"But, this..." Katya's dissatisfaction disappeared, and she wanted to cry now.The money she took for a few trips may not be as much as Xia Zhi's windfall.

Now the positions of the two parties have been reversed, and Xia Zhi has become a rich man.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, I suddenly have an idea."

Xia Zhi smiled.Those who are familiar with him know that he is about to start cheating people again.

"Is that enough money if I'm going to hire you guys to run errands and gather intelligence for me?"

At present, Xia Zhi still plans to stay in the desert for a while, and does not plan to leave the desert until the king of the people of water is rescued.Since he couldn't leave, he couldn't investigate the affairs of other regions, and Xia Zhi couldn't accept the situation of being blocked by information.

In this case, recruiting subordinates is a good choice.

"Your money is enough for us to cancel the Chamber of Commerce and work exclusively for you alone." Katya said angrily. "Don't you know the purchasing power of platinum coins?"

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, the girl consciously lowered her voice.

"Very good. I don't need you to go to dangerous places to die, and I don't need you to provoke any forces. Just try to collect legends and information about the monster leader for me. The job deadline is one year, how about this condition ?”

Xia Zhi estimated that one year should be enough to kill most of the bosses by himself, and when the time comes to directly control the bosses to carry out activities, there is no need for these subordinates.

"This condition is very good, but—are you going to challenge those guys?" Katia felt more and more that it was not a coincidence that she and others encountered sandworms.

Xia Zhi didn't continue to hide it anymore, it would be of no benefit to both parties.

"Yes, those are my prey. Are you scared?"

"Well... I have to give you an answer tomorrow."

"Where did I hear this, forget it."

The clerk has already served the food and drink, now it's time to treat yourself.

……

After eating and drinking, Xia Zhi returned to the resting room.

He recalled all kinds of things today, but Xieyan just lay beside him and didn't disturb him.

Suddenly, Master Xia remembered an important thing.

"I forgot to watch the Desert Scourge."

"Ah! Master, I thought you would just forget about it." Xieyan covered her mouth and snickered.

"Because there are too many incidents that pop up! Originally, I planned to go back to my room and watch it."

Xia Zhi sat up and took out a small candle.At his will, a khaki light ball was released by the small candle.

As soon as it came out, the light ball wanted to escape out of the window.

"Where to go!"

Master Xia grabbed the ball of light with a ruthless iron hand, and he took out the "purification technique" sent by the forest goddess from his backpack expressionlessly.

Although it is said to be a purification technique, it looks like two sections of flower vines from the outside.

Xia Zhi seriously suspects that the Forest Goddess has taken the same outfit she was wearing to fool herself, but he has no evidence so far.

The two merged, and some black air could be faintly seen expulsion from the essence of the desert scourge.

Finally, a thick card fell into Xia Zhi's hands.

"This...why is it in the form of a card. Is this the result I expected in my heart?"

When the Forest Goddess asked herself if there were any additional requirements, Xia Zhi casually mentioned that it was convenient to carry, but unexpectedly, it was actually made into a card.

With a helpless mood, Xia Zhi looked at this card.With just one glance, he sprayed it out instantly.

"You have a big problem with broken cards!!"

------

Attendant Card-Desert Scourge

Rarity: SSR

After using it, it summons the attendant-Desert Scourge.

The existence time of the attendant is proportional to the mana you pay.

(After killing the Abyss Scourge, this card will be upgraded)

------

"What's the matter, master. I added that SSR logo." Xieyan thought that Xia Zhi was not satisfied with it, and said that he could erase it at any time.

"I didn't mean that! See for yourself!"

Xia Zhi angrily threw the desert scourge card in his hand to Xieyan, who took a look.

According to Xieyan's prediction, it was originally supposed to be a painting of desert scorchers burrowing out of the ground to prey.

As a result, now there is a short-haired loli wearing sandstone armor, sitting in the sand hole with a blank expression on the front, with one hand coordinating with both feet to tear the antlion corpse, and the other hand is stuffing the antlion into its mouth leg.

"Is this a purification technique or a sissy mod? I'm so stupid!"

NO.737 The desert scourge cannot be rational

"Master, calm down."

Although Xieyan was also very dissatisfied with the behavior of the forest goddess, it still persuaded Xia Zhi to prevent him from going to the forest goddess immediately.

After taking a few deep breaths, Xia Zhi also returned to a calm state.

"Okay, I want to see what you can recruit."

Gritting his teeth, he poured in 100 units of mana.

Xia Zhi is a pragmatist. If the modified desert scourge can help him, he doesn't mind being looked down upon by others.

"I usually summon a Desert Scourge!"

The card in his hand turned into a streamer, forming a petite figure.The next moment, the same desert scourge as on the card appeared in front of Xia Zhi.

It tilted its head, seemingly unaware of what was going on, and was looking for food nearby.But when it saw Xia Zhi in its eyes, it was so frightened that it didn't dare to breathe. After Xia Zhi coughed lightly, the short-haired loli huddled up and shivered at the foot of the bed.

"...Why is it that even the most basic ferocity is gone?"

Xia Zhi was still not satisfied with this follower, he frowned and ordered.

"Get up, let me take a closer look at the ability."

The tough words had an effect.The short-haired loli straightened up in awe, and obediently lay down on the side of the bed.

2. Dust tornado

The Desert Scourge creates a dust tornado by manipulating the wind and sand.The dust tornado deals no damage, but repels all hostile mobs away from the dust tornado.

Remarks: This little guy loves to eat and will not refuse anyone.

------

"Master, do you want to try its ability?" Xieyan was about to make trouble.

Xia Zhi shook his head: "Don't, if I tear this side down, I won't have a comfortable foothold."

After reading the features, he is very satisfied with this tool man.Mining plus life protection, ten times your own blood volume can still be sold.

According to the introduction, it's enough to feed it with some monsters, and it doesn't need to be paid.

As for the magic power consumed, it is even more sprinkled.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi narrowed his eyes, thinking about the possibility of training it to mine independently.
