Chapter 167: The Gathering of Adventurers
"That's all, Shabak City immediately sent a vanguard force to go first, stabilize the camp in the safe area of the desert. Our three major families will each send elite troops to assist in the exploration and arrive in Shabak City within two days. The other families will hand over the supplies to our team within two days to ensure they go out together.
"Practice steadily in the safe area of the desert, explore the status of monsters in the sea of sand monsters, whether they have life attributes, whether they can be killed, if they will be reborn after being killed, make sure to determine the characteristics of those sand monsters before the team adventurers go!
"If there is no other doubt, disband immediately and prepare to leave!"
He Ming no longer needs to continue listening when he heard this. In short, the men in the Tucheng who only want to eat meat and refuse to work hard, as well as the greedy adventurers here and the desperate homeless vagabonds, were all pulled into the game. Even if Ye Zilan needs to appear on the front line, the danger in front of her will be divided by others.
Ma Li was stunned at the pile of food and was summoned urgently. According to so many people, they had prepared the food that was urgently rushed out before they were served. Even the people from the Ma family went back directly. At the same time, the food used in public areas could not be brought back to their family.
Such a large expenditure cannot be considered a particularly small thing for the Li family, which makes him very troubled, but he doesn't know that something a hundred times more troublesome will be waiting for him soon.
When Shabak's three men rode back, Li Tingao suddenly said: "Oh, in the end, we all agree that to open up a larger living space, Lieyan and the others will do it. After Zuma's threat disappeared, we still couldn't take action."
Shenhu said: "Once we have something on our shoulders, it will be difficult to let go as easily as we did at that time. Just like the nobles are used to life, they are unwilling to have any changes, because they have lived well, and this time they will be struggling with who has started this incident for so long, because the map of the desert will destroy the current situation."
Li Tingao said: "So you forced to stop that topic, but in this way we still took that step. After all, the person who can do that in Tucheng must be a nobleman. No matter what the purpose is, at least because of that step he took."
Shen Hu said: "From the moment the monsters there quietly attacked the Viper Mountain Village, this step must be gone. But then again, it was really not what the Ma family, who controlled it, did it themselves. Without the original picture, he could draw such a large map on the wall without knowing it. He is really a talent."
Ye Zilan said: "That way you can draw the exact same picture without any error. I have seen such a person who can never forget it and even more complex symbols can be easily drawn, but... you won't want to see him."
Li Tingao said: "Then let's not talk about it. They said that resources and supplies will arrive in Shabak within two days. Hurry up, time is tight enough!"
So their horses raised their smoke and rushed towards Shabak City.
He Ming put on the armor of the God of War, brought his equipment, and brought the pitiful wages. He rode Mali in a hurry for the supplies to go to the desert. When he had no time to take care of himself, he walked out of the noble area with a swagger.
It is also the will of God. After more than a year of nonsense and quarrels, the nobles of Tucheng finally made the decision to explore the desert. The cold wave that was much longer than in previous years disappeared overnight.
The warm sunshine and the gentle breeze bring good moods regardless of status, and everyone has come out to make various preparations for the new year. The most active one is people who have watched the map and dreamed of going to the desert to dig gold to change their destiny.
Among these people are greedy adventurers, civilians who have been fighting for life and are still at the bottom of the class, and homeless people who have been struggling for a winter and may never get up in a corner of Tucheng at any time.
With the release of the desert map, the treasures that only a very small number of people brought back by rumors are much more reliable to find. As the weather at this Union High School has become warmer, can they hold back?
Some people hurried out for fear of being taken first, and some people spent a lot of money to buy supplies and equipment, intending to prepare more fully. At this time, people who resell these things may not necessarily earn less than successful gold diggers.
Adventurers are trying to find teammates who can cooperate. They are relatively more prepared than those who are desperate. Therefore, they can be seen in commercial and civilian areas in groups everywhere, looking for like-minded partners.
He Ming was also wandering around the civilian area, trying to find a more reliable team. Unlike the adventures in other areas before, because everyone is unfamiliar with the dangerous desert environment, some guys who specialize in sneak attacking and plundering their own people have not yet appeared.
"We will destroy the vicious slow horses and protect our earthen city!"
"We are very skilled in martial arts and have enough money. We will definitely be the first to get the most precious treasure in the desert!"
"The legendary ferocious and weird sand monsters have very strange treasures on them. If you want money, you have to take advantage of it. How about brothers join us?"
He Ming walked past the adventurers and shook his head. These people knew nothing about the desert at all. Even if they were not sent to death, they would be hard to gain anything, and they would not help He Ming's terrible things to look for.
Just as he was getting more and more disappointed and planned to wait until the large army had passed and then go over and find trouble, a team of people suddenly appeared in front of him.
His strong figure, tall figure and cold eyes attracted the captain, so he came up to talk to him.
The captain is a tall but slender Taoist priest: "Your equipment is neat and you should be an experienced adventurer. We are also recruiting elite figures like you. If you don't dislike it, you might as well know us."
He Ming raised his head and unexpectedly found that this person looked smart and pampered, not like a person who had been suffering from adventure and had been polished by wind and frost.
"Oh? I'm trying to find a team. I don't know what you are going to the desert this time, and what plans are you doing?"
The man smiled and said, "The legendary desert is full of dangers. I don't know how many people have visited the dangers in the past dynasties. In the end, it will be more and less, let alone gain. What can we count on? This time, because the lines on the map can find oasis and water sources. We plan to take the lead in finding strongholds for survival in the desert."
He Ming's interest was suddenly raised and asked him: "Excellent! You are the first to think of so many people. As long as you find the water source, you can easily gain a hundred times more benefits than those who have digged gold. However, the map says that the most terrifying horse there is born in the desert."
The man slapped He Ming on the shoulder with one hand and laughed and said, "It turns out that he is a smart man. Few of these people who are taking risks will ask like you. From the first day that the map appeared, I started to study it. It said that the two places I found first will never appear!
"If there are slow horses in the oasis so closest, then we will have no way to maintain it in the desert. We must retreat first to find reinforcements.
"At the same time, there were not many people in the expedition team at that time. Without sufficient preparation and ambush, we could still fight a path of blood. Some people came back alive, so we were more prepared and not too deep into other oasis. We would definitely have hope of gaining a foothold there!"
You are afraid that the person who came out was so strong that he could not be considered a human! He Ming complained in his heart, and then he felt that this person's idea was thoughtful. It would be a big problem not to go deeper into the hinterland of the Oasis area, and he also needed a place to rely on to penetrate the desert deeper.
"It's admirable. I really want to join your team, but ask me?" He Ming asked: "You don't mind if I hide my identity."
"Ah, you won't think that serious people will do our job, let me tell you the truth, most of us use pseudonyms. For example, my name is Li Xiang. Do you understand the meaning of Ideal?" Li Xiang said with a smile, and could not see what he was thinking.
"That's good to say. I'll call him He Ming. Join your team and act together. What conditions do I need?" He Ming was too lazy to avoid it and asked directly.
"He Ming, this name is good, hahaha, I have heard it many times, don't worry, we don't mind." Li Xiang laughed: "As for the conditions, as the captain, I can tell at a glance whether you have the ability.
"But you can introduce yourself to your own abilities. Let's talk about us first. I have organized many adventure actions and have the ability to respond to some scenes to emergency response and quick response. This Ling Qiusheng is a keen warrior. In addition to his superb martial arts, he is also good at dealing with various mechanisms and traps, and is an expert in exploring unknown areas.
"And this mage He Tongyun, he may have been acting with us for a long time. In addition to his powerful combat spells, he can also use spells such as summoning water elements to solve the desperate situation of lack of supplies. Once he was in danger, it was because of him that we could stand here."
The people he introduced nodded to He Ming. Ling Qiusheng was a short and thin man, while He Tongyun was a little lucky, but he looked full of energy and had a bright look.
Then Li Xiang continued to say to He Ming: "And there is this, Boss Zhao. Although he would not go to the desert with us from the beginning to explore, he provided us with sufficient supplies and logistics, and a good horse for each person. It is the real core of our team, so you can rest assured."
He Ming smiled knowingly and said, "Everyone is really an elite. As for me, I should know that I am a soldier and my martial arts are acceptable. What's special about me is that I know the way!"
