As night falls, the desert sky becomes cloudless and the stars shine brightly.
Yang Yu and his companions stood on the deck of the Hangsha ship, guarded by a dozen combat soldiers.
Qingshi was restless, with all kinds of rumors about Lamia echoing in his mind, but Yang Yu and the others were relaxed and enjoying the beautiful starry sky.
The level of the guarding Lamia is not high, and any one in Yang Yu’s team can easily defeat all the Lamia present.
The only thing that made Yang Yu and his friends uncomfortable was the sudden drop in temperature at night and the gentle cold wind that was extremely biting.
After a while, the cold wind on the deck of the sand-hanging ship made most people shiver and their hands and feet became cold.
After taking out their winter clothes and changing into them, they still felt very cold. Bai Jin opened the barrier to block out the cold wind, and Yang Yu lit the stove, which made everyone feel better and able to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, Yang Yu and the others slowly woke up after hearing some noises in a daze.
Through the thick morning fog, Yang Yu and his team could see huge garlic seedlings standing in the desert. The thick sea fog turned into dew on the broad leaves of the garlic seedlings and flowed along the leaf veins into the new shoots.
Suddenly, a huge garlic sprout began to move, and the other garlic sprouts followed suit.
Huge turtles carrying garlic cloves rose from the sand and slowly moved towards the east. The garlic leaves on the turtles' bodies gradually shrank and grew in the reverse direction, turning into a big head of garlic.
This is another kind of magical beast that can survive in the desert, its name is garlic turtle.
They are one of Land Shark's favorite foods and one of Lamia's main sources of vegetarian food.
Lamia would climb up the garlic turtles' stems while they were resting at night and pick some of their leaves that absorbed moisture.
Special sand-navigating vessels will be on hand to provide protection throughout the journey.
Looking back at the history of Lamia eating Garchomp, it was probably while protecting the safety of the pickers that, after killing Garchomp, Lamia felt that it was a waste to leave such a large piece of meat on the ground, so she tried the meat of Garchomp, and ended up opening the door to a new world.
In order to capture delicious prey, hunting sand-boats often follow the tracks of garlic turtles, waiting for their prey.
Today is no exception.
The huge hunting ship passed by Yang Yu and his crew. Yang Yu looked up at the Lamias on the ship who were fully armed and on standby at any time, and noticed the special spears in their hands.
If Yang Yu remembered correctly, they used such a spear to control Garchomp last time and then gave it a fatal blow.
“We will be arriving at our village soon, please get ready.
I've told you in advance that you shouldn't do anything tricky.
Although you are very powerful, this is our territory after all. If we want to kill you, we have plenty of ways to do it."
Lamia, who looked like a captain, warned Yang Yu and the others again to be honest.
Yang Yu and his companions nodded in agreement, and asked the captain if the Lamia tribe had any taboos to prevent them from making mistakes without knowing it.
Captain Lamia solemnly stated several taboos, and specifically told Yang Yu and the others that they must not move around without the Queen's permission. If the Queen told them to go east, they must not go west. Only if they took the lead in showing respect to the Queen, would the Lamia people respect them.
Yang Yu nodded and kept it in mind.
The bright sunlight spread its warmth and gradually dispelled the fog, and a towering wall came into Yang Yu's sight.
The wall is made of solid stones, and it is coated with some unknown material, which gives the wall a metal-like appearance and texture. No wind or sand can erode this solid wall.
The sand-hanging ship slowed down and moved towards the high wall, directly sinking into the wall.
There was a hidden hole in the wall, and an iron gate more than ten meters high suddenly appeared in front of Yang Yu and his friends.
Lamia's city has a total of four gates, located in the east, south, west and north. Each gate is protected by a special barrier. From the outside, the location of the gate is no different from other walls.
Even for a high-level magician, it is not easy to break the barrier and find the entrance to Lamia City.
The captain carrying Yang Yu and his crew entered a series of commands on the console, and a crack appeared at the bottom of the huge iron gate, just enough for the small boat to pass through.
Through the huge iron gate, the sand stretched out like sea water flowing into the harbor, all the way to Lamia's city.
Several huge ships were docked at the port of the Lamia tribe, but there were few traces of Lamia.
Now is not the time to go out and trade with the outside world, so the port is naturally very deserted, with basically only people maintaining the ships.
After docking, the captain took Yang Yu and his crew into the city of Lamia.
Lamia's city is built around an oasis. Various rare desert plants are interspersed between the unique desert-style buildings. A huge pyramid stands in the center of the city.
Yang Yu seemed to have traveled through time and space and arrived in Egypt thousands of years ago.
What is inconsistent with such an exotic city is that all kinds of eye-catching machines are placed in the city.
Yang Yu even saw something similar to a vending machine. A Lamia put the coin in her hand into the machine, pressed the button on the machine, and with a "crash", a metal can slid out of the vending machine.
Several Lamia children were holding remote controls that looked like game controllers, controlling off-road vehicles of various shapes to race on the empty streets.
In the center of the street, Yang Yu could see through the glass window that the shop owners were selling various sand-hoisting ship models, and even a large-scale sand-hoisting ship model that was more than one meter high.
If Yang Yu had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that the Lamia clan’s city would look like this.
Does this count as mecha-punk
Did this kind of culture develop on its own, or are there some unknown secrets
If given the chance, Yang Yu would like to find out more, maybe he can find a lot of interesting tasks.
By the way, when you reach the bottleneck for the first time, it seems that there is a mechanic option
If I had chosen to be a mechanic, I might have to come to Lamia's side, where I should be able to get various design drawings and improve my mechanic level.
If I had chosen the mechanic and found the ruins of the Rose Empire, I might have been able to know everything by inheriting past memories.
Maybe that route is the correct one.
Whatever you choose, you have to give up.
Yang Yu looked at his partner beside him.
After making all the choices and getting to where I am today, there is actually nothing to regret.
