Chapter 1862
"If the situation is not good, the worst that can happen is to escape back."
Maiya's mind was spinning wildly, and she had begun to think about various possibilities.
Traveling through the Death Desert is equivalent to accompanying death.
But she is quite confident in her ability to escape in the desert.
This time, she may break the "0 group wipe" record that she has worked hard to maintain.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked up and said: "Accepted!"
Dak couldn't help but smile and said: "Congratulations on joining the team."
The two stretched out their hands and shook them across the table, representing Mai Ya's official joining.
After shaking hands, Mai Ya immediately took on her role.
She asked directly: "Can we reveal the real purpose of our trip now?"
Dak shook his head slightly and said: "After we set off."
Maiya curled her lips and said: "Then how are we going to deal with those hyenas outside?"
"Huh?" Dak was slightly surprised, "Them..."
He really hadn't thought about this question.
Maiya frowned slightly, and two thoughts jumped out of his mind.
One is that Dak and others are young after all and lack experience in dealing with foreign enemies.
One is that Dak and others did not take the hyenas outside seriously at all.
As a guide who had just joined the team, she certainly hoped it was the latter.
"This is an opportunity, an opportunity to see their strength clearly."
Mai Ya was sure in her heart.
Before, it was Dak and others who tested her, and now it was her turn to test Dak and others.
If Dak and others could not even deal with the hyenas outside, then she would jump out of the car decisively!
...
But when Mai Ya was thinking about this, Dak suddenly said: "By the way, do you have a tomb robber here?"
Tomb robbers, that is, tomb robbers, are another name for tomb robbers in this world.
When Dak asked this question, Mai Ya finally had a preliminary imagination of the purpose of their trip.
Instead, she felt relieved.
There are many people who come to the Death Desert to pan for gold and dig graves.
In the ancient books preserved by their clan, the past of the Death Desert is clearly recorded, and a glorious civilization was once established.
Therefore, there are indeed countless relics and tombs in this desert.
As the terrain changes, occasionally things like mausoleums are squeezed out from deep underground, attracting countless greedy people.
This is the treasure that history has given to the Death Desert, and it is also the core reason why there are still people living in this dead land.
It is precisely because of the existence of "treasures" that people are constantly attracted to come, thus developing into settlements, towns, and cities.
Speaking of Tufu...
Maiya said confidently: "I know everything Tufu knows."
Dak smiled again: "Then it seems that I have found the right person?"
Maiya asked: "When do we leave?"
Dak said: "Of course, this is also a secret. However, if it is convenient for you, you can go with us tonight."
Maiya narrowed his eyes and said: "Then I need about two hours to prepare."
Dak nodded and said: "Okay."
Maiya stood up and said: "See you in two hours."
After that, she turned and walked to the counter, whispered a few words to the man behind the counter, then turned and went to the back, and soon disappeared.
Dak and the other two continued dinner.
...
Just two minutes later, someone came over and sat down directly opposite Dak, and asked: "Do you need help?"
Dak directly refused: "No."
That person was also straightforward, and left immediately after being rejected.
But then new people came to contact.
Obviously, a team with rich and powerful resources is indeed very attractive.
Those who came to contact include adventurers, tomb robbers, and even members of the Sand Tribe.
It was only after that Sand Tribe member came that Dak learned that there were also people working alone among the Sand Tribe.
In order to earn
more money, they abandoned the protection of their tribe.
But the Sandworm Tavern did not drive them away, and still allowed them to move around in the tavern, and even competed with their own tribe for business.
Of course, there are not many employers who would abandon the tavern and look for a single person.
Dak also refused directly.
After rejecting several groups of people in succession, no one came up.
Dak's eyes swept over and found that they had changed another target to lobby.
There were all kinds of people gathered in the Sand Tavern.
Some of them exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
Dak paid special attention and memorized the faces of those people.
"The people over there should also be tomb robbers." Emma suddenly came over and whispered.
Dak retracted his gaze and said, "There are more than one group. When Malt comes back, ask if there are any relics or tombs unearthed recently. That may be a clue."
From the moment he got the wine glass, Dak was aware that the change began.
...
Two hours later, Malt returned.
And Dak was talking to the man behind the counter.
Both sides wanted to find out extra information from each other, but the big and the small were like human shrewd, not leaking a single drop.
When Malt came, the man stood up and said goodbye and returned to the counter.
Dak looked up and found that Malt had changed into a long-sleeved and long-trousers, covering his skin as much as possible under the clothes.
She carried a lot of things with her, but they were all packed into a suitcase.
"I have a sand cart at the back." Malya pointed to the back of the tavern and asked, "Should we go through the front door or the back door?"
Dak said: "Don't worry, let's ask some questions first."
…
Professional things should indeed be done by professionals.
Duck soon had a very clear understanding of the changes in the Death Desert during this period.
To put it simply, news suddenly spread in the Kalaha Territory that a mausoleum was unearthed in the Desert of Death, and it was an imperial mausoleum with at least a thousand years of history.
News like this, although some news comes out every once in a while, is basically fiction.
These rumors and legends are bait to attract outsiders, and they are most likely spread deliberately by the hyena people of Kalaha Territory.
But during this time, many teams returned from the Death Desert, bringing news of changes occurring in the desert.
Those rumors that were always circulating in the Kalaha Territory suddenly became more authentic.
When Ma Ya heard Dak mention "Tufu", he initially thought that was why they came.
But since Duck didn't ask, of course she would choose not to explain.
It’s impossible to tell your employer that the rumors about the tomb being unearthed are probably false, right?
In that case, if Dak and others suddenly change their minds and quit, where will she get her employment money?
On the contrary, as long as Dak and others still believe in the rumors, it is none of her business even if they go deep into the desert and return empty-handed.
But now that Dak asked, she had no choice but to explain.
But after she explained it clearly, she discovered that Dak and others did not come here because of the rumor!
The keen intuition she was born with made her realize a possibility in an instant, and her breathing became rapid.
…
Mai Ya tightened her lips and said no more, only answering the questions that Dak needed her to answer.
Half an hour later, the two parties reached a final agreement and prepared to leave the Sandworm Tavern.
As they stood up one after another, the surrounding eyes suddenly gathered quietly.
Duck was still walking at the front, reaching out to open the main door of the tavern.
At this time, the hyena people who had been waiting outside for two and a half hours suddenly became commotion.
"Coming."
Bai Yin perked up and took out the dagger.
But just as Duck stepped out of the threshold, the black carriage that mysteriously disappeared suddenly appeared.
——This did not surprise the hyena man.
That carriage, which could perfectly hide its traces, had long been regarded as their own.
They knew very well that when Duck and others came out of the Sandworm Tavern, the disappeared carriage would inevitably reappear.
And the period between when Duck and others walked out of the tavern and when they boarded the carriage was their only chance!
Otherwise, once Dak and others are allowed to board the carriage, they can disappear again along with the carriage.
The hyenas usually wait for outsiders to leave the tavern for a certain distance before taking action.
But today is obviously different.
At the risk of breaking up with the Sandworm Tavern, Silver issued an attack order to the hyenas of the Jedi Gang!
At the same time, the hyena men of the Three-Headed Society took action without hesitation!
The Three-Headed Club is a gang with the "Three-Headed Dog of Hell" as its totem. Their leader at this time is a fat woman whose height is similar to her waistline.
The fat woman's nickname is "Fat Lady", and she has a ruthlessness that belies her appearance.
Drawing out the long black whip soaked in venom, the Fat Lady stamped her feet and rushed out at the same time as the hyenas.
In the blink of an eye, the two gangs formed a double-teaming force.
At this time, the last malt to walk out had just crossed the threshold.
The battle was about to break out at that moment.
Dak raised his head, frowned, and took a step forward.
A moment later, thick purple smoke suddenly emerged from under his feet, spreading rapidly towards the surroundings like a smoke cloud.
Wherever the smoke shrouded the space, the space instantly froze.
Dozens of hyena men suddenly froze in the air.
Their thinking has not slowed down, but their body movement speed has dropped to almost zero, and their proud agility has become a liability, making it difficult to move even an inch in the [Nightmare Space].
As their thoughts turned, the hyenas subconsciously glanced around and saw their companions who were also frozen in this space.
