Chapter 363 The Shark Lizard Herd, the Task of Hiring the Merchant Picor [Anti-Theft Chapter]

"Ow!"

"Roar!"

The roar of monsters and the roar of beasts can be heard in the distance.

Because the distance is too far and the surroundings are so vast, it is impossible to tell where it came from.

And after going deep into the desert, there are no villages in this section.

It is about 140 kilometers away from Bosang.

Logically, the closer you are to the city, the higher the population density.

But the situation in this area is clearly against common sense.

The desertification caused by overgrazing and land reclamation is understandable.

After all, this situation has precedents in the earth, and there was even a period of time when the policy of returning farmland to forest was carried out in order to curb desertification.

All sloping farmland that is prone to soil erosion will be restored to the state of natural vegetation.

It is used to protect the ecological environment and avoid soil erosion.

However, it is clear that the aborigines in this world do not have such a high level of ideological awareness.

Zong Shen and the others slowed down a bit, moving on at fifty to sixty kilometers per hour.

Because the surrounding light was too dark and there was no crowd, Zong Shen took out the [Magic Flashlight] and gave one to Cecilia.

Turning on three levels of brightness, two beams of light shined forward.

"This Baron Bezos is terrible."

"It is reasonable to say that the closer you are to Bangcheng, the better the environment should be."

Zong Shen thought to himself that if he were to take charge of Bangcheng, the first thing to do would be to manage the surrounding environment.

To create a livable state city circle, to prepare for further expansion of the city area in the future.

"grown ups…"

"There seems to be someone ahead!"

Luna on the side suddenly shouted that although she was transformed into a hero, her professional characteristics of the Night Huntress still remained.

Night is her home court, and her eyes can capture all kinds of traces in the dark.

Hearing Luna's words, Zong Shen took off his battle helmet and squinted his eyes to the front.

In the distance, there really seemed to be a few figures at the end of the magic flashlight, standing beside a large rock on the side of the road.

It is at least seven or eight hundred meters away from Zong Shen and the others.

"What are they doing?"

"Why are you standing on the side of the road?"

Zong Shen was puzzled, shook the sand in his helmet, and patted his head with his hand.

Putting the battle helmet on the head again, the road is too dusty, especially in this high-speed movement state.

"Let's go and see, everyone is on alert!"

Zong Shen waved his hand and made a forward gesture, and everyone's speed increased by one point.

However, due to the soft sand on the ground, it was not much faster.

Those people also seemed to have discovered Zong Shen and the others. One of them took the initiative to take a few steps forward, waving his arms constantly, shouting something.

In less than a minute, Zong Shen arrived at the location of those few people.

They were all on the side of the road, with their backs on a rock the size of a hut, with five people and a carriage.

Judging from their clothes and attire, it was obvious that they were a small group of traveling merchants.

The leader was a middle-aged man in a turban.

He came to Zong Shen and took the initiative to bow and salute.

Then he stood up straight and looked at the Immortal Lancers of the squad behind Zong Shen.

"My lord, are you going to Bosbon?"

Zong Shen heard the words and nodded, but there was nothing to hide.

Anyone who takes this road is to go to Bosbon.

"How about you, why didn't you go to the nearby village to rest?"

"It's dangerous to camp in the wilderness at night."

Zong Shen asked back with some doubts.

However, he saw a wry smile on the face of the middle-aged travel merchant headed by him.

"It's all about making a living."

"We are a traveling merchant team under the command of Lord Evans of Bosbon."

"I was ordered to go to Runcorn Village to buy some requiem grass."

"Requiem grass is very special. It must be baked with a special frying process immediately after picking."

"Otherwise it will wither after 24 hours."

"And the large blast stove for frying is only available in the manor."

"It's been almost 18 hours now and we have to be back in Bosbon by 1am."

Zong Shen heard the middle-aged travel merchant say that, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he keenly caught a few words.

Master Evans, traveling merchant team, purchasing Requiem grass.

"Then you are still here?"

"It's still 134 to 40 kilometers away from Bosang."

"At the speed of a normal carriage, it can be reached in more than four hours."

It's not even seven o'clock in the evening, and as long as the traveling merchant team in front of them continues to hurry, they will definitely reach Bosbon before 1:00 in the morning.

"Sir, are you from a foreign country?"

The middle-aged travel merchant heard Zong Shen say this and asked cautiously.

Seeing that Zong Shen did not answer, he quickly added.

"This is a famous desert area near Bosbang."

"And the reason for the deterioration of the environment here is because there is a group of shark lizards in this area!"

"The ferocious shark lizard among them is even more ferocious."

"They're huge and they move through the sand beneath the ground."

"Sleep during the day and wake up at night to hunt the beasts and travelers in the area."

"Below this big rock is bedrock, and those shark lizards can't swim under it."

"That's why we stayed here to hide."

Zong Shen saw the appearance of the middle-aged travel merchant, and had no doubt that what he said was true.

When entering the area, he did see a warning sign erected on the side of the road.

Just because he was busy on the road, he didn't see the contents of the warning sign clearly.

And this part of the journey is really not right.

It's abrupt and eccentric, with a sudden change in style along the way.

Although the previous road was boring, it was very peaceful, and the scenery along the way was ordinary pastoral scenery.

After reaching this stage, it was like entering a no-man’s land.

Zong Shen asked about the strategy module and reconfirmed what the middle-aged travel merchant said.

The answer is yes, there is indeed a group of shark lizards in this area.

Their range reaches tens of kilometers.

Therefore, not only are there no villages nearby, but they also do not belong to the area where the lords come.

Zong Shen walked all the way, passing through two or three areas where lords came.

Some areas are next to each other, and some areas are blank areas separated by dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers.

It seems that the lord system also has a choice when planning the area where it will come.

Any area where there are lords must be able to meet the basic survival conditions.

At least it won't fall into a box, and some harsh areas will give more starting materials to balance.

For example, a lord who descends on the northern ice field will initially have a certain amount of protection against the cold.

These are the balance measures given by the lord system to compensate for regional differences.

At least make sure that the lords have a period of adaptation.

There will be no further interference in the follow-up, because there are living methods in the icefield area.

The western hilly area also has a live method in the hilly area.

As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea, after satisfying the basic balance.

The next development depends on the individual level of the lord.

Each starting place has its own characteristics. Different regions, different landforms, and different environments actually have different advantages and disadvantages.

From this desert area, you can't see the aboriginal villages, and you can't see the scattered territories of the lords, so you can see the problem.

Although he didn't know the details of those shark lizards, he didn't want to waste a night here.

Time is money after all, my friend!

"Are these shark lizards a threat to us?"

Zong Shen directly asked the Raiders module, and it was used to assess whether it was threatening.

(At the current size of the squad, the threat level is between beginner to intermediate

These guys lurk in the sand, they're like giant sharks with four limbs

Ordinary shark lizards are about seven meters long and are captain-level monsters, while violent shark lizards can reach twelve meters in length and are commander-level monsters.

They have shark-like heads, dorsal fins, and mole-like forelimbs with burrowing claws

The body is strong like a violent bear, the thick silver-gray skin, with the exaggerated pectoralis major, will definitely make you find the warmth of home)

After reading this description, Zong Shen already had a vision of a land shark in his mind.

After understanding the situation, he regained his senses and looked at the middle-aged travel merchant.

"Why didn't Bangcheng send someone to clear it?"

"Just let that group of shark lizards rage here?"

An ugly smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged traveler.

"This group of shark lizards will dive into the ground during the day and sleep."

"It only becomes active at night."

"They have a lot of intelligence and teamwork."

"Before Bangcheng also sent a large number of Bangcheng troops, but these guys don't even show their faces."

"The Bangcheng army of the brigade can't be stationed here for a long time, otherwise logistics and supplies will be a big problem."

"As for squads and squadrons of Bongcheng troops stationed here, it's not much use."

"This group of shark lizards has hundreds of heads and is a group."

After listening to the descriptions of the middle-aged travel merchants, Zong Shen had already sensed the difficulty of these guys.

Unless the Bangcheng Army is willing to dig out all this area, or gather a large number of earth magicians to solidify the ground, otherwise it is really difficult to deal with them.

"Um... these guys must be bad..."

Zong Shen said something in a low voice to himself.

"You... what did you say?"

The middle-aged traveler did not respond.

Zong Shen waved at him.

"nothing…"

"I see, thanks for the reminder."

"Then I'll leave you alone, and wish you good luck here."

Zong Shen said calmly, and then rode Bajie to the open space beside him.

The ground around here is all hard bedrock, and those shark lizards can't swim, which is barely a safe area.

With one move, he took out the goblin airship from the storage compartment.

Just in case, he took the goblin airship with him when picking out the supplies before leaving this morning.

There are all desert areas around him, and if you want to rush or take a detour, you may be attacked.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to harden these shark lizards.

Looking at the airship that suddenly appeared, the middle-aged traveler was stunned.

"Empty... space prop..."

"Could it be some great aristocrat traveling in secret?"

"And this goblin airship, which is very valuable and limited to purchase."

"Only nobles with a strong enough background can buy it."

In his heart, he frantically made up for Zong Shen's possible status and background.

Zong Shen got off Bajie directly, walked into the cockpit, started the airship, and the wind gem in the airbag began to light up to inflate the airbag.

The turbofan of the unit on the cabin also began to rotate slowly and entered a state of preheating.

Then he returned to the entrance, holding a broad-blade sword, and manually chopped and expanded the hatch.

After a lot of work, the hatch was also expanded to a suitable range.

Although it looks unrecognizable, it does not hinder the main structure of the airship.

The Immortal Lancers all got off their horses, and the horses and men entered the cockpit separately.

Then there are Vereesa, Luna, and Bajie.

After they all entered the cockpit, Zong Shen was ready to enter.

At this time, the middle-aged traveler dared to call him.

"Big...adult..."

"Please stay."

Zong Shen heard the words, stopped, turned around, and waited for his next words.

At this time, the middle-aged traveler took a few steps closer.

He bowed slightly and said softly.

"Can you help us bring the Requiem to Lord Evans?"

"If we can't get there in time, this batch of requiem grass will wither."

"We will also be severely punished..."

"Our wife and children are in Lord Evans' manor..."

The middle-aged travel merchant lowered his head, his tone was sincere, and his attitude was low.

Zong Shen didn't answer, he was busy looking at the system subtitles in front of him.

[Hire the wandering merchant Picor to send you a mission invitation]

【accept】

【reject】

Zong Shen chose [Accept] and nodded to the middle-aged travel merchant.

The subtitle of the task in front of him changes immediately.

[Task: Help transport Requiem grass]

[Requirement: Send this batch of Requiem grass to Evans' manor within 5 hours and 49 minutes]

[Reward: Prestige +500, Emerging Noble Evans Favorability +20]

There is a quest that appears, although there is no substantial reward, but this quest is a good opportunity to get in touch with Evans.

After all, Zong Shen is also responsible for infiltrating Evans' manor, entering the magic secret room in the wine cellar, and retrieving the wealth left by Mars' parents.

"I would like to help you."

"Let your people put all those requiems in the cockpit."

Zong Shen said succinctly and then added another sentence.

"I'll take this batch of requiem grass back, do I need any credentials?"

The middle-aged traveler was overjoyed when he saw Zong Shen agreed.

He took out a rough black iron emblem from his arms and handed it to Zong Shen.

"thanks for your help!"

"You just need to tell the manor guard that you are here to deliver Requiem grass."

"If someone stops you, show him the emblem."

"And tell him that you are here on behalf of Picol."

"Requiem grass is very important to Lord Evans, and he will definitely thank you."

Hearing what he said, Zong Shen just nodded and reached out to take the emblem.

There were originally two chapters on theft.

Because of some trivial delays, only half of the second chapter anti-theft text is written.

Simply prevent a chapter.

Or the old rules to refresh in the morning.

As for how much during the day, I can only say that there are three more chapters as far as possible.

How much can be more.
