Chapter 535 53 Scorpion Tribe

After 3 days, the sandstorm gradually stopped. Read

The Hashma Gang did not rush to set off immediately, but rested in the cave for 3 days. After 3 days, the weather became clear again. The porters returned to the ferry last night and spent a morning collecting all the chains and bridge boards before setting off again.

Walking on this route, they can lose their companions and goods, but they must hold the necessary survival supplies in their own hands.

Chains, wooden boards and rivets are not sold at a high price and have a very high load-bearing capacity, but at a critical moment, they can save people's lives.

Last night in the cave, Loki and Huo Sanye had roughly deduced the source of their good luck along the way.

The ability to "protect" them from moving forward in the deserted black desert like an invisible giant hand is not something that ordinary people have.

Could this be the Illuminati?

Or some other organization?

They cherished this girl from East Land so much that they were afraid that the caravan would die at the hands of bandits, wild beasts, or get into trouble when crossing the Quicksand River.

So they tried their best to help them to move forward smoothly!

Loki did not think that the people who helped them must be members of the Illuminati.

The reason was simple.

If it was members of the Illuminati who directly robbed people in Memphis, it might be a better choice.

The subsequent journey became a comfortable sightseeing again.

After crossing the Quicksand River, the deeper black desert was a vast uninhabited area.

The abandoned cities and villages that were often seen in the outer sand sea became extremely rare here. For three consecutive days, the places where the Hash caravan camped at night were all abandoned caves of giant snakes.

These caves are not always empty.

The inner black desert is a paradise for ancient creatures. The extremely scarce human population has made many terrifying monsters that have survived from ancient times choose to survive in this undisturbed land.

After existing for eternity, their bodies tend to become extremely large, and their combat capabilities and combat experience are far beyond the reach of their younger counterparts.

In previous years, when caravan merchants crossed the Quicksand River, their main enemies would change from sand bandits to wild beasts and monsters that plundered caves.

Groups of hyenas, vultures, and sand snakes and scorpions frequently appear in large uninhabited sand dunes. When encountering wild beasts living in groups, skilled caravan merchants can mostly avoid fighting by lighting torches or throwing poisonous smoke.

Wild beasts are not scary

The most terrifying are the ancient monsters that have survived from ancient times.

When humans travel to other continents by ship, in addition to crew and cargo, their ships are likely to have fleas, ants, or rats and other passengers who are no longer in the plan mixed in the dark corners.

After the ocean-going ship docks on a new continent, these creatures hidden in the ship will also follow the crew off the ship, enter this new land, and become a new species.

The scholars in the academy believe that the ancient monsters wandering in the corners of the edges of various continents are also the same. When the Outer Gods descended on this planet, they followed them in various ways.

After descending on this planet, due to the lack of natural enemies, some monsters even survived to this day. They hide in the corners of the world.

Some fell into a long sleep.

Some are waiting for opportunities to hunt the Chosen Ones and other monsters to obtain the pure spiritual energy in their bodies.

After crossing the Quicksand River, the biggest threat to the caravan merchants gradually changed from sand bandits to ancient monsters wandering in the yellow sand. Although the probability of encountering wandering monsters in this land as vast as the Mediterranean is not high, once encountered, it is almost a dead end.

In more than 20 years of walking in the Black Desert, the Hash Caravan has only encountered monsters twice.

Once encountered a group of tall giants who looked like rocks and traveled south in the wind and sand.

Another time encountered a huge roc whose body covered the sky and the sun passed by at high speed above his head.

The most powerful among his team is Abdullah Sah in the "Fire Knight Path" under the Path of the Fire King 6. The not-so-high sequence level makes the concentration of psychic energy in their bodies not high.

The ancient monsters simply disdain him.

Therefore, the Hash Horse Gang has never been attacked by monsters.

In the past, when they stayed in caves, they had to use fire and smoke to drive away the beasts in the caves. However, in recent days, every cave where Old Hash used to live is empty, not to mention beasts, there are not even feces, fur and other traces of beasts staying here.

After crossing the Quicksand River, "turning back" is no longer an option. No matter what happens, the Hash Horse Gang can only bite the bullet and move forward.

Walking in the vast no-man's land, the blue sky and the endless red and yellow sand dunes become the only colors in everyone's sight.

After a lot of food and water in the team were consumed, the length of the Hash Horse Gang has been reduced to only more than 70 carriages. They lined up in a long line and walked in the empty sky and earth, like a wisp of dust in the air.

It is not difficult for Old Hash to pass through the no-man's land.

There are no villages, no plants, and no mountains in the no-man's land. The endless shifting sand dunes change beyond recognition every few hours like waves.

But Mohammed Hash has a unique ability to record directions.

When night falls, he will look up at the stars in the sky with a telescope. According to Huo Sanye's guess, the merchant who led Lao Hash into the industry is very likely to know some "Yin Yang Stargazing Technique".

This person is likely to be a registered disciple of a master under the command of a "Yin Yang School".

**

The technology of identifying directions by stars originally came from the ancient Babylonian Kingdom in the Mesopotamian Basin.

They connected the stars to form animal-like shapes to divide the starry sky above their heads. This set of stargazing methods called "12 Zodiac Signs" has a profound impact on later generations.

The 12 zodiac signs of the Eastern countries and the "birth constellations" of the Greek city-states are all based on the 12 Zodiac Signs.

However, positioning through stars is ultimately vague and uncertain. When used in long-distance sailing, a lot of deviations will inevitably occur during the journey.

To accurately locate a cave with a diameter of 5 meters or a well buried deep underground in a vast sand dune

This ability can only be obtained by the "Yin Yang Stargazing Technique" of the "Yin Yang School".

In the Tang Dynasty of the East, the extremely complex "Yin Yang Stargazing Technique" has been basically lost after the invention of the compass, but it is unexpected that Old Hash actually mastered this skill.

In the black desert where the magnetic needle often spins, it is a treasure.

Huo Sanye did not ask too much about his secrets. Every businessman who can start from scratch in this chaotic era has more or less some stories that belong only to him.

Compared with this "Yin Yang Stargazing Technique", the flame cross that he took out from his arms from time to time seems to contain a very high concentration of flame spiritual energy.

There must be more secrets hidden in this man.

The speed of the Hash caravan's advancement is not fast.

After more than ten days of slow progress, Old Hash accurately led out of the no-man's land. When the desert plants appeared sporadically again, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because he found the whereabouts of the "scorpion herder" at the edge of the no-man's land.

After crossing the Quicksand River, the first free people's tribe on the caravan route is the poisonous scorpion tribe located in the "Lant Oasis". This is a group of devout believers with an ancient faith. They have guarded the tomb of the famous emperor "Scorpion King" in ancient times for generations.

They firmly believe that the sleeping emperor will wake up one day.

At that time, he will lead the remaining tribesmen to drive out all invaders and regain control of this land.
