Chapter 49 Red Sand Ridge

After walking along the path for a day, the distance walked was not as good as the half-day walk before. If it weren't for the fact that the horses were bought, Chi Nan would have wanted to release the horses and walk in by himself, which would be easier.

The three people got off the horses at this time, walked by themselves, and pulled the horses. Sometimes, you have to control the plants to make way for some roads, or fill the pits under your feet, so that the horses can walk smoothly.

The roads on both sides are full of thorn vines. If Chi Nan couldn't control them, the horses would have been covered with wounds. Even so, Chi Nan still didn't have time to control them sometimes, resulting in wounds on the horses. Even the bald old man and one leg were not intact, but had several more cuts.

The only intact one was Chi Nan. Chi Nan only realized now what it meant to not be actively attacked by plants.

When those thorn bushes touched him, the thorn bushes would automatically shrink back, and the spikes on them would instantly become less sharp. When they touched the skin, a little life magic would burst out on his skin.

The thorny vines that come into contact with the magic of life will deform at a very fast speed to avoid hurting themselves. Therefore, when Chi Nan walked to this place, even his clothes were not torn, which was really a miracle.

On the way, Chi Nan kept asking the two people for various field experiences, which he lacked. There were also some combat skills, and sometimes he would practice with the bald old man.

But Chi Nan also found that his physical fitness seemed to be too good. Even if his skills were far inferior to the bald old man, he was still stronger than the other party. It turned out that he had become so powerful without knowing it. However, Chi Nan trained these just to make himself better adapt to the battle and avoid being attacked by surprise. He never thought of using them.

In this way, after three full days, the three people finally walked out of the path. As Yitui said, this place was indeed not suitable for the actions of the wild orcs, so there was no trouble at all.

Not to mention the wild orcs, even the animals did not encounter a larger one. Chi Nan controlled the plants and only caught some pheasants, rabbits, etc., but at least improved their meals.

"Sir, please look, the red mountain in front is the Red Stone Mountain. Hongsha Town is at the foot of the Red Stone Mountain. We still have one day to go." Suddenly, a leg pointed to the distance and said.

Chi Nan looked up and saw a red mountain in the distance. It should be said that it is a very large mountain range. There is a corner here, and then it continues to go deep into the distance and disappears. There are dense forests everywhere around it.

"This mountain is called Red Stone Mountain because it is red. So what about Hongsha Town? Is it also red?"

A leg nodded: "Sir, you are right. Hongsha Town is indeed red. The whole town is full of red sand inside and outside. On this kind of land, ordinary crops cannot grow at all, so the food produced is very little. If there are not many people in Hongsha Town, I am afraid that this land cannot support so many people."

As the saying goes, red land is the worst land, and it seems that this is true. It's just that such a big mountain is red, which is very strange. Red, is it because of the high iron ore content?

"If there are really a lot of iron ore here, it will be developed." In such a backward area, what does an iron ore mean? Chi Nan knows it without anyone telling him. If there is an iron ore, Chi Nan is sure to make Hongsha Town a prosperous place, just relying on the ore vein is enough. However, this is not what Chi Nan wants.

Forget it, let's wait and see. As the three people get closer and closer to Hongsha Town, the red soil on the ground is indeed getting more and more. And the surrounding vegetation is also getting less and less.

Originally, there were dense roads that people could not pass through in this place, but with the invasion of red sand, the plants here are not only inaccessible, but also have no problem running horse-drawn carriages. On the wide road, there are fewer and fewer plants, and some stones on the ground, all telling Chi Nan how barren this place is.

Only some bare and exposed yellow land places, sporadic planting of some plants. Chi Nan learned from the bald old man's mouth that this is the black valley that is commonly eaten in this world.

This plant grows a large black seed, and when it matures, it will produce a spherical hard shell, and the seeds are inside. This kind of black grain is used to make black bread, which is as hard as stone.

I really don't understand. They have natural top-grade flour, but they don't know how to use it. They have to eat this kind of thing. Moreover, neither the grinding nor the manufacturing skills are up to standard, and they don't know how to improve it.

Looking at the crops planted, it can be seen that their planting level is not very good. The plant distribution is dense in some places and sparse in some places. It seems that they are planted in this place casually and don't care. If there are not few insects that will harm crops like black grain, I am afraid they will end up with nothing.

How lazy is this? They would rather starve to death without anything to eat, and don't know how to improve planting.

Chi Nan patted his head: "Are the people in this world all focused on playing?"

Chi Nan didn't know that the reason why those farmers didn't take care of these crops was because they had other things to do. They also needed to use other methods to collect food to ensure that they would not be killed.

After walking for a whole day, Chi Nan could see the range of Hongshaling from a distance. There was only a fence around it, and human buildings were far away from the fence. It was too far to see clearly.

"Sir, let's camp here and rest for one night. I'll go and check the situation."

"You'd better wait. Your legs and feet are not in good condition. You still have to rely on me at the critical moment. I'm not incompetent in these matters. Don't worry, there will be no problem."

The bald old man held down one leg and ran quickly to the opposite side. Chi Nan watched the bald old man leave, and then built a temporary residence in this place with one leg. The residence was behind a big tree to prevent being discovered. The fire was also blocked by the big tree and could never be found from the direction of the town.

"Really cautious, this is experience, I must write it down and learn from it in the future." Chi Nan silently absorbed some sparks of wisdom that the two people inadvertently emitted, and slowly made up for his shortcomings.
