The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 202: A village blessed by misfortune

Views:

After rushing directly out of the range of the two mountains, they stopped slowly.

The eardrum returned to normal.

The voices have also continued to pass on to new voices.

"Call—"

Kant opened his mouth to rein in the horse under his crotch, and turned his head to look at Manid and James, who were covered in dust beside him. He didn't need to look in the mirror, knowing that he must also look disgraced and embarrassed.

Withdrawing from the cave passageway, they can be equivalent to fleeing.

If not.

They will die in the collapse, or be directly swallowed by the flood pouring from nowhere, and then it will be really miserable, and the moment of life and death is not the time to pay attention to image.

Kant didn't have too many cleanliness.

"It's really lucky." James looked at the hill behind and said with some lingering fear: "If we encounter a more violent collapse inside, even if we are not buried alive in it, we will probably be swallowed by the sudden flood, alive Drowning in it, if you don't walk faster, the consequences are really unimaginable."

"Yes, it's really dangerous." Manid also swallowed in fear.

The surrounding soldiers gasped and agreed.

The danger encountered in this investigation is almost comparable to the danger level when the expeditionary force of the Gray Mane Kingdom came to attack, but this time, it is more terrifying and direct. The entire army will be wiped out, and it will be difficult to survive!

Kant's face was a little gloomy.

Reining in his horse, he turned around and looked up at the mountain top in the distance.

That was where his own village "Aaron" was located, but now it was about to collapse and disappear with the violent shaking, and the power of the Rhodok Kingdom was sadly removed from his development system.

"Damn it." Kant gritted his teeth.

He really didn't expect that such a huge relic was hidden under the mountain top selected by the system.

Also did not expect.

Directly killing those two survivors who survived for unknown reasons in history actually led to a complete collapse, almost causing him to die in that ruins.

Very dangerous!

Even now, I can still hear the faint rumble coming from my ears.

That was the sound of the mountain collapsing.

Even just overhead.

Circles of unknown birds have already flown into the sky, flapping their wings covering the sky and covering the sun, obviously also scared and at a loss because of the sound of the collapse inside the mountain top.

There were also beasts in the surrounding mountains, all roaring one after another.

"Boom boom boom—"

But Kant's face changed suddenly, and he turned his head in astonishment.

Manid and James, who were behind them, looked down at the side of the paved road in the same shock. Following the deafening sound, a flood of white foam splashed waves more than half a meter high, right on the top of the mountain. rushing out of the canyon between them!

In an instant, they crossed them who were still on the road. When the road was built along the system, the concave ditch formed after deliberately widening and heightening rushed towards the entrance of the mountain they were about to advance, and in a very short period of time, formed The river is about 3 meters deep and 4 to 5 meters wide, and the water flow has become calm because of the waves rushing past.

Just a moment.

It actually formed a river.

"what happened?"

James opened his mouth, subconsciously looked towards the direction where the river was rushing, remembered the huge torrent that suddenly appeared inside the mountain where he escaped, couldn't help swallowing, and said speculatively: "It shouldn't be, then Behind the ruins, there is actually an underground river, right?"

"Underground river..." Manid nodded silently, and said, "Perhaps, it really is."

The bottom of a thousand-meter-deep mountain.

If there were no underground rivers or lakes, it would be absolutely impossible for such a large-scale torrent to directly wash away the mountain, and even formed this small river under the barrier of the canyon gap and the paved road outside the Sanvaya Mountains. Although the river is small, in Kant's view, it has reached the stage where boats can be sailed!

And when Kant looked back, he suddenly discovered that even if the village of "Aaron" disappeared, the area on the edge of the mountain would have extremely high development value because of the river!

Rivers represent the most basic form of agriculture.

These plentiful river waters represent irrigation as long as terraces are cultivated on both sides.

Although it extends into the desert and seeps into the ground to form groundwater, the groundwater near the mountains will also become abundant, which will make the vegetation grow more lush and more suitable for the development of agriculture!

If you are lucky, after several years of reclamation.

This place will definitely become Kant's agricultural production base and maintain the foundation for future development!

The food problem will not be controlled by others.

"The collapse appears to have stopped."

There were Swadian rangers riding on dromedary camels looking back. Their perception was sharper, so they quickly noticed that the sound of the collapse in the rear was also decreasing, and eventually became insignificant.

"Is it over?" James and Manid also looked back.

Everyone had a sad look on their faces.

And the faces of those Rhodoks were even more sad. Obviously, the disappearance of this village made them even more sad. After all, this is the village of their own race and they have deep feelings.

But Kant frowned slightly.

He didn't find the message of the village's destruction sent by the system.

Looking up at the position of the mountain top in front, there is a cloud of dust flying into the sky due to the air wave, like a gray mist, which has slowly fallen with the disappearing collapse and vibration, like a haze, clearly visible.

But this scene made Kant frown even more.

If the real mountain collapsed, the phenomenon would be more than that simple.

The sky is falling apart.

Countless dust rushed into the sky.

The earth was trembling, and countless cracks extended on the surrounding mountains.

The entire connected mountain range is expected to undergo widespread collapse.

Just like a small-scale earthquake!

But now, it ended so easily, and the vibration and loud sound of the collapse of the mountain did not even come over, how could Kant not doubt it in his heart.

"Let's go back and have a look." He ordered.

"Lord Kant, is it dangerous?" Manid advised.

The surrounding soldiers had the same worry on their faces.

"Probably not."

Kant opened his mouth and turned his head to look beside the paved road.

The small river is still flowing gently, and has not dried up due to the passage of time. Several thoughts appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but said: "Maybe our village will be a blessing in disguise."

"Twenty Swadian knights follow me."

Kant made up his mind, turned his head and said: "Others wait in place!"

"Understood!" The knights responded.

James and Manid also turned their horses and came to Kant's side to see their appearance. Of course, they also planned to follow Kant back to have a look. They were worried and let Kant, the lord, take the risk alone.

Ride lightly on a fast horse.

They soon returned to the foot of the hill where the village of "Aaron" was located.

The paved road is still intact.

But just at the bottom of the mountain, a huge gap appeared under the cliff on the west side, forming a spring gushing out continuously, forming a small lake more than 50 meters wide and more than 100 meters long in a sunken position, and along the road foundation and drainage The canyon depression where it is located begins to spread towards the outside of the mountain range, forming the small river that Kant saw.

They looked up.

There is nothing unusual about the whole mountain, and even the wall at the top of the mountain is still standing.

"There is no problem in the village!" James said with joy.

"Let's go and see."

Kant knocked on the belly of his horse lightly, and with the speed of the horse, rushed directly along the paved road to the top of the mountain, looking at the still standing government hall, 10 Rhodok-style houses, and the 7-meter-high sentry tower , there was also a happy expression on his face, obviously there was really no problem.

When I got closer, I looked at the building that was still intact as a whole, without any cracks.

Kant couldn't help smiling: "When the construction teams from Veruga come again, I will reward them with a sum of dinars. The quality of these buildings is very good."

"They deserve a reward." Manid nodded with a smile.

Kant smiled and looked around.

He was extremely excited.

A few dinars can't express his joy at all, especially the appearance of this river is much more affordable than the rewards he got. This is the agricultural foundation that can guarantee survival!

The only regret, perhaps, is that the priceless golden coffin was not made out.

But it is enough that the village is not destroyed by the collapse.

As long as this "Aaron" exists, everything will exist.

Kant's strategic layout was not disrupted, but a blessing in disguise. There was an opportunity to develop agriculture. In his opinion, with sufficient irrigation here, the agricultural development of the sentry oasis is much better. You don't need to care about the heat and water sources, you can directly cultivate In the mountains, pile up the soil to form effective terraces!

"Go to the cave and have a look." Seeing that the village was fine, Kant also looked to the west.

The ruins in that cave are the source of the current situation.

Although I know that the inside will definitely be washed away by the flood, and the falling stones will smash a lot of internal structures, but overall, since the mountain has not collapsed, it means that the collapse inside is not too serious. If people work hard, they can still recover the gold inside.

He never forgot about the gold.

It was still dark inside the cave.

Standing on the platform outside the cave, Kant turned his head and looked at the cliff next to him, where a large number of bones were scattered, and the bottom was like a mass grave, and there were many small carnivores passing through it, but no meat was found. He could only fiddle with the bones a few times and drilled into the dense bushes again.

These are the bones in the cave that were blown out by the air waves, so there is no need to trouble Kant and the others to clean them up again.

The torches left before were relit.

The inside of the cave is no different from before.

Only the faint sound of running water can be heard.

But it wasn't that roaring sound, instead it tended to be stable, it sounded like an underground river flowing slowly in a cave, with occasional sounds made by the reef, which was a bit playful.

"Be careful."

After entering the cave and advancing more than 500 meters, the ground became slippery.

Evidently the waves had risen here.

Manid and James were a little scared. If they didn't escape quickly, were caught in the water waves, and were dragged back to the ruins full of floods, it would be really bad luck.

But soon, their fear was dispelled by surprise again.

After coming to the two stone doors that were pushed open.

The huge god statue on the opposite side still exists, and although the golden light is dim, it is still like dusk, making people barely see. But when they saw that the originally flat stone ground had formed a half-meter-high lake, and the stone platform in the distance , has cracked a big black hole, obviously the underground river water poured in.

On the south side of the stone wall, a cave of more than ten meters was also cracked. The underground river disappeared in the cave, with a gentle flow of water, and it was unknown where it led.
