Chapter 299 [0296] Oasis Survivors

The boat driven by this child was very shallow. After talking to Lux, he leaned down and pressed his whole body against the bottom of the boat. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dense oil threads on the water.

"It's really magical. Even though there is a desert outside, people here have boats!" Lux walked back and said to Kalya in disbelief, "What is the material of that boat? It looks like a wooden board? But this There don’t seem to be any trees in the oasis!”

"That's a fiberboard obtained by laminating the leaves of oil silk seeds together, moistening them with oil, and drying them repeatedly." Kalya obviously knows something about this material. "This kind of fiberboard is strong and tough after it is formed. The only problem is It’s more troublesome during manufacturing.”

"That's it." Lux nodded, "This child rowed a boat to inform me. Are they living on an island in the center of the oasis?"

"It's very possible." Kalya confirmed Lux's conjecture, "During the Shurima Empire, there were often water wells at the outlet points of the culverts, and the empire's government agencies would work there - maybe there were water wells in this oasis. It has been maintained by some people and has not been destroyed by the wind and sand. In this case, it is normal for desert survivors to live in it in the form of small settlements. "

"Looking at the size of this oasis, I'm afraid there are not many people in this small settlement." Lux turned back and glanced at the direction where the boat appeared and disappeared. There were densely packed oily silk seeds there. At a glance, she saw that There is no sign of artificial buildings at all. "Looking at the skinny appearance of the child, I'm afraid their life is quite difficult."

"As far as the remnants of the oasis are concerned, the life of the people here is pretty good." Kalya couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "With Bakai's protection, the oasis to survive, and endless oil silk seeds, even if the supplies are It’s not enough, and the population can’t grow, but at least it can thrive here for generations—wait, there seems to be something moving in the east!”

Lacus and Ino came to this oasis from the northeast. When Lacus went to find water in the oasis, Ino was watching Scarash eating in the north.

And when Lux found the water source and was returning, a burst of smoke was rising into the sky to the east of the oasis!

"What is that? A sandstorm?" Lux looked in the direction Kalya said and narrowed her eyes slightly while holding the arbor, "It doesn't look like it, the scale is really too small..."

"Compared with sandstorms, I think these are more like sand pirates." Kalya's words made Lux's heart skip a beat. "The number of camel cavalry is between 500 and 1,000, which is about the same size."

"Isn't it a large caravan?" Lux asked with the last bit of luck, "If it's just the number of people, it's not enough to determine their identity, right?"

"The nearest large city here is Kenese, and Kenese is directly west of us." Kalya ruthlessly eliminated the last possibility of luck, "And between Kenese and Bergun, There are no large-scale caravan activities.”

"Are they coming for the oasis?"

"Maybe." Kalya sighed, "Of course, it's more likely that he came for the people in the oasis."

"Those desert remnants?"

"That's right."

……………………

Lux and Kalya noticed the billowing smoke on the ground.

Underground, Sefiqa also "heard" the trembling sound of the desert.

As the guardian of the oil silk oasis, Sefiqa is currently in the horizontal culvert deep underground in the oil silk oasis. Even though the direct distance from the desert surface is more than a hundred yards, as long as it is attached to the wall of the culvert, , Sefiqa can always clearly perceive everything happening on the ground.

This is the power given to him by a magical stone.

As long as he holds this stone tightly, Bakai can hear the sound of the earth, even if it is hundreds of meters away from the ground, it is still extremely clear.

Of course, such convenient capabilities are not free.

Once this ability is overused, the user will fall into petrification and eventually turn into a stone statue. In fact - Sefiqa's father, grandfather, great-grandfather... from generation to generation, almost all of them eventually turned into motionless bodies. The cold stone sculptures were placed in the corners of the culverts.

There is no doubt that Sefiqa is an out-and-out Bakai.

It's just that he actually doesn't even know what Bakai is.

Not only did Sefiqah not know that in this closed desert oasis, every generation of Bakai who eventually turned into a stone statue did not actually know that he was Bakai.

As the descendants of the ancestors who came here to avoid disaster during the Darkin War, although they are Shuriman people with upright roots, they have long forgotten a lot in the long history of isolation from the outside world.

For Sefiqa, after his father turned into a stone sculpture, picking up this stone and protecting the tribe to live in this oasis was his mission from the time of his birth; and after leaving descendants and teaching his children to use this oasis, It is the common fate of one's own life to share the power and eventually turn into stone sculpture one day.

The tribesmen living in the oasis will be responsible for their daily needs and will respectfully call Sefiqa Bonu; Sefiqa will accept this offering and use this power to protect the safety of the tribesmen.

This is the cruel desert survival of the Shurima people after the inheritance of civilization was cut off.

Unlike Kalya, who could only judge the approximate size of the team, Sefiqa had already guessed the identity of the team after sensing the movement on the ground - they were a nearby group of sand pirates.

Sefika didn't know that the Noxians occupied Beljuin, nor did he know that a Beljuin army that didn't want to join the Noxians chose to leave the city and develop on its own, eventually becoming a sand bandit group.

He only knew that in recent years, there was always a camel team that was active near the Oil Silk Oasis, and the scale of the activities was getting bigger and bigger.

This team had come to the Oil Silk Oasis several times, wanting Sefika and the desert survivors in the Oil Silk Oasis to join them. They started with words like "glory and persistence" that Sefika couldn't understand at all. After each long speech by the guy who led them, Sefika could only understand the part of "join us and give us food".

In Sefika's opinion, unless he was stupid, he would take the initiative to join them - there was extra food, wouldn't it be good to feed one more child? Why give it to them?

For Shurima?

After confirming that it was indeed these guys, Sefika got up without hesitation, found the vertical shaft upward, and began to climb up skillfully - he needed to notify everyone to be careful.

Although this bandit group is different from other bandits that start robbing at the first sign of disagreement, we still cannot relax our vigilance!

Karya's Little Class: Survivors:

The so-called survivors do not refer to the Shurimans who survived the collapse of the Shurima Empire, but to those who have closed themselves off for various reasons, no longer communicated with the outside world, and gradually became closed and ignorant.

This is true for desert survivors, oasis survivors, and ruins survivors.

Self-robbery is a great success! Good night~
