The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 297: The anomaly at the end of the horizon (third update)

"My lord."

The mage apprentice behind him rode over.

The weaker ones were even more exhausted, so they couldn't help dissuading them: "Let's take a rest first, the environment in this place is really cruel, we really can't continue our journey."

"Then rest." Kant sighed softly, and waved his hand: "Anza temporary camp!"

"yes!"

The knights immediately responded in deep voices.

These extraordinary knights are physically stronger than Kant. After all, they have been instilled with the power of elements, and they belong to extraordinary bodies. It can be said that they cannot be considered by ordinary people's common sense.

If you continue to go on, the mage apprentices will definitely not be able to hold on.

This is, after all, flesh and blood in the real world.

The temporary camp was quickly set up, and tents were raised one by one, bringing rare and rare shadows that had not been seen for a long time on the sandy land burned by the scorching sun.

It is a shelter where they can rest after a long journey for several days.

Handfuls of sand were thrown out.

A half-meter sand pit was dug out of the tent, and a thin linen blanket was laid on it.

After digging out the sand layer on the surface, this bunker can bring more pleasant coolness. At least after Kant lay down in it, the exhaustion caused by the long-distance trek immediately dissipated. After filling himself with fresh water, he couldn't help it. Squinting his eyes, he wanted to lie down in this sandpit and have a good sleep.

There is no way, they have been in the depths of the Nalun Desert for many days, and after leaving the station, they have hardly had a good rest, their spirits and bodies have already been tense, and they are about to reach their limits.

That's why the mage apprentice would propose to take a break.

They are so tired.

In fact, everyone wants to take a little rest.

Even Kant had the same idea.

But here, Kant stood up with his hands on his body, and went outside. The knights were setting up tents for their war horses and feeding fresh water at the same time. They were considerate and caring for their work.

"Today rest until dusk."

Kant opened his mouth and announced.

At the same time, he instructed these knights: "When you are resting, cheer up and arrange bright and dark whistles!"

"Understood!" The knights responded.

After making arrangements, Kant returned to his tent in peace.

Next these Cavaliers can do very well.

Drowsy and fell asleep.

After a while, the temperature became scorching hot, and Kant woke up covered in sweat.

There was some noise outside.

"Dang Dang Dang."

It was the sound of a wooden spoon hitting a barrel.

It seems that the lunch has been prepared, and the distribution of food has begun as usual.

"It's really hot."

Kant leaned forward and sat up in the sandpit, reached out and tore off the linen burqa outside.

Although she was wearing thin clothes inside, she still felt hot all over after sleeping, as if her whole body had been immersed in a sauna room, and it was unbearable to be steamed.

He missed the cool rooms of Castle "Drehem" now.

It's a pity that the destination pointed to by the system task has not been found yet, so it is obviously impractical to go back like this.

Kant was not reconciled either.

... ... ...

[Ding...Temporary task release]

[Temporary mission: last wish]

[Task Reward: Spring Eye x 1 Block]

[Task introduction: You found this spirit body in the temple, which originated from the ancient survivors thousands of years ago. He told you his last wish, and you plan to go to the depths of the northern desert according to this last wish. After all, the sandstorm that appeared deep in the desert is now shrouding your heart.]

... ... ...

This is a temporary task.

But Kant was still exhausted, he went deep into the desert for several days, and he didn't know what the so-called deep desert was, so he wanted to enter the real devil's land

Kant smiled wryly.

According to the urine nature of the system, it is really possible.

Just like the temporary task of exploring the ancient passage, the final completion is to enter the underground city wall in the cave before it can be considered complete, and the terrifying abyssal demon is also killed.

For this mission, entering the devil's zone must have not escaped.

Fortunately, he brought a lot of supplies and supplies.

However, if there were such terrifying abyssal demons in the devil's land, or even a demon army composed of abyssal demons, it would be a bit troublesome to solve it with only 56 of them.

To be precise, there are 50 knights in charge of combat, 1 commander, and 5 spellcasters who increase the status BUFF.

"It's quite a headache."

Kant rubbed his temples.

This time I was just exploring the depths of the desert. If I encountered an irresistible force, I would retreat directly at worst.

At least these extraordinary knights and mage apprentices can't fight against too many enemies, but there is absolutely no problem in surrounding him and leaving. Even if they are surrounded, the worst thing is to fight out!

In order to protect Kant, the supreme lord, the knights dared to make sacrifices!

Just thinking about it.

The noise outside is relieved.

At the same time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the tent, and he said, "My lord, the lunch has been cooked, should I bring it in for you, you eat first?"

"Well, bring it in." Kant nodded.

The tent was lifted, and the royal knight walked in with a wooden tray in one hand.

Barbecued meat and baked bread were placed on it, and a strong aroma made people intoxicated. After placing it in front of Kant, there was also a bowl of wheat porridge, with wild vegetables and dates added, and it was stewed to a pulp.

"There is no need to prepare wheat porridge for me in the future."

Kant looked at the slightly reddish barley porridge in the wooden bowl, and sighed softly, "Conserve drinking water."

"This is the treatment you should enjoy." The royal knight comforted: "For us, my lord, if you can get certain material guarantees, it is nothing if we suffer a little bit."

His class concept is very deep.

As the supreme lord, Kant should be well-clothed, well-fed, rich and honored.

Even in such a situation where one needs to cut down on food and clothing, one must consider the minimum ostentation and be worthy of Kant's status. Not only this royal knight, but everyone outside thinks so.

At least the current food and water are considered to be abundant.

"I said cancel."

Kant waved his hand.

He took the tray and told the royal knight: "We don't know how many roads are ahead, we may enter the legendary devil's land, save some water if you can."

"Yes." Seeing Kant's insistence, the royal knight could only nod.

Waved him away.

Kant ate the food quickly, not delicate, and barely swallowed it.

Standard barracks meals.

He has come here like this for the past few days, but he is used to it.

After lunch, Kant went out with a tray. Many knights were eating lunch in their respective tents. Seeing Kant coming out, they wanted to stand up and say hello.

"Don't be too polite." Kant shook his head.

This group of guys are good at everything, but they pay more attention to etiquette.

Putting down the tray in the place serving as the kitchen, Kant turned his head and looked at the surrounding desert, which was still endlessly yellow. Except for a little light blue in the sky, even white clouds were rarely seen.

Clouds are formed by water vapor. Based on the terrifying temperature of the Nalun Desert, if you want to form a white cloud, it is estimated that it will be very hanging. Even if it is formed, it will be evaporated by the terrifying temperature in an instant. Let alone rain, even in the daytime It is impossible to appreciate the appearance of clouds.

Kant looked towards the northern horizon and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

The scorching heat made the entire horizon seem to shake, an effect caused by the evaporation of moisture from the surface.

But he found a little difference strangely.

"Look ahead."

He took a few steps back, greeted the royal knight who was standing guard behind him, pointed to the horizon and asked, "It's the end of the horizon, look there, is there something?"

"What?" The royal knight was a little stunned, and looked carefully, but found nothing unusual.

"Didn't you find it?" Kant frowned.

When he looked at the horizon, he always felt that there was something hidden in the shaking picture.

Just like in the dense grassland, there are cheetahs with hidden color spots lurking inside, waiting for the prey to throw themselves into the net. As long as they enter the ambush range, it will be a tragic fight.

"I feel... more and more wrong."

Kant touched his chest.

During the beating of the heart, there was a slight throbbing, so he couldn't help taking a deep breath: "Be more cautious."

All rest.

At dusk, continue to set off.

But Kant issued an order to be vigilant.

Especially as it gets closer to the depths of the Nalun Desert, everyone is required to be careful and report any abnormal situation, even if it is a little trouble.

This is the Nalun Desert, the vast yellow sand, where does the wind come from, where does the grass come from!

You can't go wrong with caution.

After packing up all the tents and checking the supplies, they can still maintain drinking water and food for 10 days. Save a little, even 15 days is fine, thanks to the increased load-bearing capacity of the extraordinary war horse.

All move on.

Even the mage apprentices clenched their staffs tightly, and looked around nervously while riding on the pack horses.

As spellcasters, their spiritual power is extremely high, and the perception they brought made them discover the abnormality. They couldn't help but reminded: "Master, the power of the elements here... is a bit confusing!"

"Yes, we also feel a chaotic burning sensation here."

The knights also spoke.

Although they are not spellcasters, as extraordinary knights, they also have extraordinary perception.

Kant nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful."

The whole troop continued to trek forward.

Dusk fades quickly.

The deep starry sky began to cover the earth.

The moonlight covered the whole world like a soft veil, bringing a white soft light.

In just a few moments, the temperature in the desert dropped sharply.

Everyone changed into leather clothes.

Even the war horses under the crotch were covered with Zeng fur burqas to keep warm.

The desert in front of him is endless plains, and the speed of advancing is slightly faster, and exercise can also add some warmth, especially the war horses under the crotch, which do not have the decadent appearance of being exposed to the sun during the day.

But Kant and the others are more cautious.

Because right in front of you, on the horizon under the moonlight, there is a group of figures marching forward.
