After drinking a lot of water, everyone's mood recovered slightly.
Yun Xiangtian was thinking about Bigen Lotus. Seeing that Zhu Yan and Xia Yuanqiu had filled the water bags they carried with them, he took them around the lake to look for Bigen Lotus.
What is disappointing is that although this lake is large and the water is clear, it is the place where Zhu Yan and his men entered by mistake, but the green lotus that originally flourished in the lake has disappeared.
Yun Xiangtian's high mood soon fell to the bottom. They had gone through a hard journey to this point. Do they want to leave without gaining anything
When everyone was searching around the lake for the second time, bursts of shouting suddenly came from the distance. They looked back and saw that the sand dune they had just been standing on was now full of people. Those people were wearing wolf fur shorts. Wearing shorts and dark skin, they all held weapons and looked at them with ferocious eyes.
Dabao shouted: "No, the sand man is coming."
Zhu Yan frowned and asked, "What is a sand man?"
Dabao said: "Sand people are people who have lived in the sand for generations. They have never gone out. They use the sand as their city, and the oasis is the lifeblood of their lives. The oasis is very important to them. Therefore, they do not allow outsiders to enter the oasis. Once they find outsiders entering the oasis, they will attack them in groups. I heard that these sand people are extremely short of food, so they capture outsiders and they will also eat people."
Dabao's words reminded Xia Yuanqiu of African cannibals. He never expected that such tribes would exist in this ancient Central Territory.
Yun Xiangtian was in a bad mood, so he drew out his long sword and said angrily: "The oasis is a gift from God, why should they take it for themselves? They want to eat all the people who enter the oasis. They are worse than animals. I Yun Xiangtian will definitely not be able to tolerate them today."
Now that everyone is well fed and strong, they are no longer afraid of these so-called sand people.
Xia Yuanqiu shook his head and said: "Everyone, please be patient. These people just want to defend their territory. There is nothing wrong with it. The cannibalism is just a rumor and may not be taken seriously. Maybe they just want to scare us away."
Yun Xiangtian said: "If this is the case, then it is best, as long as there is no peace between the two."
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Brother Yun, don't worry. These people have been here all year round. They must know everything about the water in this lake. If we can make good friends with them, we may be able to learn the whereabouts of Bigen Lotus."
Yun Xiangtian's eyes lit up, and the depression in his heart instantly dissipated. He smiled quickly and said, "Thank you for reminding me. If it weren't for your words, I would have missed this good opportunity."
Dabao frowned and said: "But I heard that these sand people can't speak our language and can't communicate with me. How can I ask for Beige Lotus from them?"
Zhu Yan pondered for a moment and offered his advice: "How about this? Let's pretend to surrender and follow them to the tribe to see what's going on."
Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "This is a good idea. We are not ordinary people and we all have the ability to protect ourselves. What's the difficulty in going to their tribe? At worst, we can just rush out when the opportunity arises."
So everyone waved the white flag towards the people on the sand dune, but the sand man didn't understand the meaning of waving the white flag at all, so everyone raised their hands again. Only then did they understand that these outsiders who broke into the sand bank, this It was lifted up to them.
So a group of sand people rushed down with weapons raised, surrounded everyone, pointed the sharp wooden poles in their hands at everyone, and shouted some unintelligible words in their mouths.
