Chapter 1884
Dak's mind moved, and he quickly locked onto the target.
The fire came from the campfire.
The team centered on Alibaba was sitting around the campfire, with pots and pans placed around them. Several pots on the fire were still steaming, and several long-haired women were taking care of the food.
Except for the thin bodies of those women, almost all the male members were big and strong.
The only two thin men were Harry, the [Lone Ranger], who had met him once before in the Sandworm Tavern, and the other was naturally Alibaba.
Alibaba sat cross-legged on a stone, looking leisurely, holding a short flute in his hand, playing it gently at his mouth.
The Death Desert is beautiful in height, and a thin man like him should not be welcome, but the female members who were cooking over there looked at him frequently.
Some people's charm can even transcend gender, not to mention body shape and appearance.
Alibaba is indeed a very charismatic person.
Dak's eyes moved, and he looked behind Alibaba again.
There was a giant black panther lying there, standing at least two meters tall.
The black panther crossed its paws and rested its head on them, appearing docile and quiet.
But if you mistake it for a gentle domestic pet, you might have to pay with your life.
Ackerman, a member of the Sand Tribe who had been seen in the Sandworm Tavern before, was also nearby, but he was only accompanied by his team.
The entire team was actually divided into three distinct parts.
Harry, who was alone, led Ackerman with more than ten people, and the Golden Country Thieves, who had the largest number of people.
Although it was unknown how they reached a cooperation intention, the cooperation relationship did not seem to be as solid as imagined. They were still wary of each other and did not unite as one.
Dak thought about it and summoned the [Dream Demon], pointing to a woman near Alibaba and asked, "The thing in that person's hand is the compass that can lead them to the Golden Country?"
The woman holding the compass had slightly brown skin, but bright features, and slightly plump lips that looked even more tempting in the eyes of the desert people.
If the compass in her hand is really that thing, then she and Alibaba should have a very close relationship.
"Meow!" [Dream Demon] nodded vigorously.
Dak immediately understood.
Maiya said: "That's Lillian, the daughter of the previous leader of the human clan in the Golden Country, Alibaba's childhood sweetheart."
"Very good." Dak nodded slightly, and then sat down again in Maiya's surprised eyes.
"Why don't you go over and say hello?" Maiya asked tentatively.
Dak smiled
and shook his head and said: "I changed my mind. You see, they are a very professional team."
"Of course I know, but we are also professional." Maiya replied.
Dak said: "This is not a conflict, Maiya."
"Okay. You are right." Maiya also sat down next to Dak.
Emma summoned a prop that looked like a pair of glasses, put it on the bridge of her nose, and carefully observed that side.
After a moment, she put down her glasses and drew the appearance of the compass in her notebook.
"I've seen a mechanical compass with eight needles somewhere before?" Emma couldn't help but ponder.
Dak turned his head and looked at her, then said, "It should have a special use."
Emma said, "But we can't just guess."
Dak said, "So we just need to watch them use it. We'll just follow behind."
Emma said, "This is a good method, and it's easy."
Dak took out the wine glass and played with it for a while, then said, "Not only that, we also have a new bait to attract the Set beast."
Emma said, "Do you want them to be in danger?"
Dak said, "Of course not, after all, that will prevent them from moving forward. But even if they are in danger, we can get something else, right?"
"Okay." Emma closed the notebook and sighed, "I hope everything goes well."
Dak said, "It will always go well."
Malt listened to their conversation and silently ate the apple again.
...
White hot steam came out from the edge of the pot lid, and the rich aroma of meat overflowed immediately.
The desert thieves smelled the meat and showed greedy eyes.
Several female thieves filled large bowls with the boiled meat and soup and distributed them to their companions.
The floating pieces of meat in the bowl were slightly black, which was the unique color of sand scorpion meat.
Professional desert guides can find food anytime and anywhere. This type of sand scorpion meat only needs to remove the toxins, which is a rare meat in the desert.
Of course, they all brought dry food and water when they set out, but the duration of this expedition was uncertain, so they kept as much dry food as possible and tried to ensure the reserve as much as possible.
Alibaba took the large bowl handed over by Lillian, took a sip of the hot soup first, and then ate the meat with a smile.
"They are still amazing." He sighed and couldn't help praising.
Lillian agreed: "They are all people who have always lived in the desert, but only the Sand Clan can find food and water at any time."
Alibaba said: "Besides, they will never get lost."
Lillian smiled: "We can do this too."
Alibaba asked: "How is it, have you found the direction?"
Lillian's expression became a little serious: "It's confirmed temporarily. But the compass needle is changing at any time, just like the Golden City is moving."
Button∈←QUN:×∏八>武·∷淒§⌒LU⑹◆㈢∽—SI④⑵ "Hiss~" Alibaba was burned by the flesh and took a breath subconsciously.
After a while, he continued: "A moving castle sounds good."
Lillian glared at him and said: "But the Golden City should still be buried underground!"
Alibaba said: "That's a castle that can move underground, it sounds even cooler!"
"# x-on:%%%¥!" Lillian couldn't help cursing.
Alibaba didn't care: "Mo Apo said that this mechanical compass can guide us to find the ruins of the Golden Kingdom, but she never told us that the compass points to the Golden Kingdom."
Lillian was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What does it point to?"
Alibaba spread his hands and said: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Lillian calmed down and thought: "Could it be the key to open the door? The Golden Kingdom is not actually in the desert. What we can find is actually the door key?"
Alibaba said: "It's a good idea. I suggest you keep working on it."
Lillian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously grabbed the mechanical compass and wanted to smash it on Alibaba's head.
But just before Alibaba's head was broken and bleeding, a thief who had been scouting around with a telescope suddenly shouted: "There is a dragon!"
There is a dragon? What dragon? How can there be one in the desert... There really was one!
Many thoughts flashed through the thieves' minds, but they jumped up instantly as if springs were installed under them.
"Roar--"
The sound of a dragon roar suddenly sounded.
At this moment, everyone subconsciously looked up, and saw a gray pterosaur hovering in the sky with horror!
The pterosaur had a ferocious appearance, with a wingspan of more than ten meters. Just by looking up, one could feel an amazing dragon's might.
Even the thieves who had poor resistance were frightened and fainted!
"Pack up your things... No! Get on the sand cart!"
Ackerman, a member of the Sand Tribe, shouted suddenly, threw away the soup bowl in his hand, and jumped onto the sand cart full of supplies.
His team had a sand cart with three people for every three people, and brought a total of four sand carts.
Harry on the other side drove a sand cart alone.
Alibaba's Golden Country thieves had seven or eight people in a sand cart, and also had six or seven sand carts.
These more than ten sand carts set off at the same time, with great momentum, and fled in the predetermined direction as soon as they lined up.
The sand cart that Alibaba and Lillian were riding in was in the middle of the second row, and the giant black panther followed closely behind.
The sand car driven by Ackerman, a member of the Sand Tribe, was in the front, leading the entire team forward.
He moved forward in a winding manner on the desert, constantly using the terrain to avoid the sight of the terrifying pterosaur in the sky.
At this critical moment, Ackerman showed a strong ability to respond, and everyone, including the Golden Country Thief, followed closely behind, and no one dragged his feet.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ackerman actually led the team to get rid of the pterosaur's pursuit!
When everyone was sure that the pterosaur could no longer be seen above their heads, they all breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down their progress slightly.
Maintaining the maximum speed is a very strenuous thing for the driver of the sand car.
Ackerman's team of three people can still support it with rotation, but only a few people in the Golden Country Thief's team can drive sand cars, and most of the rest are "thugs".
Therefore, if they fail to get rid of the pterosaur's pursuit in such a short time, some of them will definitely fall behind.
Fortunately, there was no "if".
Moreover, after this battle, the cohesion of the whole team has also increased slightly.
Since the team has already set off, they no longer stop to rest, but directly drive the sand cart to continue moving forward, just slowing down a little to save energy.
…
"Hehehe."
The [Little Devil Beast] standing on Dark's shoulder laughed strangely.
Mai Ya sat next to Dark, silent.
A quarter of an hour ago, she suddenly heard her employer beside her say "Why haven't you set off yet", and the [Fossil Pterosaur] hiding behind the clouds suddenly swooped down, and then, Alibaba's team really set off!
The speed of the sand cart in the desert is very fast, especially when driving at the limit.
Mai Ya thinks that her driving ability is also top-notch in the entire desert, but Ackerman and Harry's driving ability is not inferior to her, and there are rumors that Alibaba himself is also a sand cart driver.
But a sand cart is a sand cart after all, and the speed of a sand cart has a limit, unless it is not a sand cart.
Maiya has compared speed with [Lunar Goddess Car] and knows what the gap is.
At this time, [Lunar Goddess Car] is following Alibaba's team, easily and freely.
And [Lunar Goddess Car] is flying in the air, very stable.
She even wants to return to the carriage and have a good sleep.
"This is a good idea, isn't it? Take a nap now, and wait until night falls, so that you will have more energy. Don't worry, if something happens, my magic elf will wake us up."
Dak crushed the apple core in his hand into magic power, stood up from the car board, and walked slowly into the carriage.
Maiya was stunned for a while, and then she saw Emma on the other side had also stood up and returned, so she hurried to catch up.
Alibaba's team had just set out, and the probability of an accident was low. This was indeed a good time to rest.
In the next few days, they might have to follow Alibaba's team, so it was best to adjust their work and rest as much as possible.
…
After a while.
Dark woke up from meditation, looked at Mai Ya who was still awake, and asked, "Do you need help?"
Maiya blushed and nodded slightly.
So [Little Devil Beast] gave her a [Demon Hypnosis]!
She immediately fell asleep.
In the sleeping bag beside her, Emma had already fallen asleep.
Dark closed his eyes again, and fell asleep directly in a sitting position in meditation.
But Ashe did not fall asleep. She had to abide by her duties and be responsible for vigilance and protection.
