Chapter 177 Expedition!
In the southernmost oasis of the desert, the comfortable environment makes the horses there hang out all day and do nothing, and they seem to attach great importance to the treasure totems and are guarded day and night.
He Mingke had a less good look and could see clearly what words were engraved on it hundreds of meters away. He could not easily pass the large number of slow horses. He spent two days and never found the opportunity to get close to the totem, which made him decide to give up here temporarily. Thinking about the origin of the slow horse, he basically understood it, so it was not that bad.
So he decided to go back to Li Xiang first, and wait until the others start to officially enter these oasis before taking over the contents on the totem pole.
After traveling to seven oasis, he spent a lot of time. He slept in the open air and had to wait for the last meal without any more. In addition, he was squatting in the oasis in the south day and night, as strong as him, and now he felt a little unable to support him.
To make sure that no enemies were alarmed, he quietly took out the place, and then followed the familiar route these days and returned to the first oasis where Li Xiang was stationed. He was not leaving, but he actually found that there was already a lot of people.
The main route from the white sand land to the first oasis has been cleaned up, and the environment of the first oasis has long been passed to Tucheng. In order not to take advantage of loopholes, the three major families and Shabak also sent people to occupy this place as soon as possible.
So when He Ming returned there, the whole scene was completely different. The first group of guards to build very strong fortifications. First, they protected the springs closely related to life. At the same time, according to the calculation, they hired a reasonable number of people to use this place as a base to prepare for further cleaning the deeper desert.
Ye Zilan's camp is now stationed on the edge of the oasis closest to the eastern sand.
When He Ming saw Li Xiang, they were ready and planned to continue setting off. He Ming sighed in his heart. No matter what angle the slow horses who betrayed Mir later stood, their fate was destined. In front of today's humans, their weak people, once the oasis that survives will inevitably be occupied by humans, they will disappear from history.
All you can do is to try your best to keep the ancestors of the horse from doing their best and not disappear in the dust of history worthlessly.
"Excellent, you can actually make the route to other oasis here clear in half a month, so now do you want us to accompany you to the oasis in the south and help you get something you want?" Li Xiang understood after hearing He Ming's words.
He Ming said: "That's right, and in addition to these two recent accidents, the south is also the oasis with the best environment. I think you will definitely be interested."
Li Xiang said: "You are right to say that. After all, except for the nearest Oasis public ownership, there is indeed an advantage in taking the other first, but what I can do is really limited. At most, I will report this to the head of the family, but we will definitely help you with this."
After He Tongyun conveyed the new information that He Ming had obtained to the Li family with magic, they immediately prepared to set off. He Ming's purpose was very simple. He found a night when the number of horses outdoors was not large, and asked the Li family members to lead a few away. He could successfully figure out what was written on the totem and complete the task.
So he made plans in great effort and took a break. He Ming took them off. They chose to rest until the afternoon to officially go out, and then headed straight to the south oasis where the comfortable environment was the most active and stable horse!
The speed and physical fitness of the others were somewhat worse than that of He Ming. Even though the direction was clear and the route was clear, it was still late at night when they arrived at the oasis to the south in the wind and sand that was difficult to resist between the oasis.
"It's just right. Look, there are only a very small number of horses wandering around here. You can just use some magic and try not to create too much noise to lure away the two totem guardians." He Ming said.
He Tongyun frowned and said, "Oh, I have a hundred ways to deal with such small things in normal times, but it won't work. Haven't you noticed that the various elements here are arranged in a mess and there is no way to use spells."
He Ming was full of energy: "So, there are times when you can't use magic?"
Li Xiang nodded: "Yes, it's very strange here. It can't summon any element at all, and it can't be used either. Are you saying that these slow horses are extremely powerful and cannot be fought against by ordinary people?"
He Ming said: "It's not very nice to say this, but I can easily kill a few. And your skills are just warriors. I don't think there is a chance of winning with two or one."
Li Xiang and Li Ya said in unison: "It's right, it's not good to say that!"
He Ming smiled bitterly and said, "The horses here are very cautious and attach great importance to that totem. Once I start, I will probably have to fight. If I want to get that totem, I am afraid there will be no chance."
Li Ya said: "Do you have any necessary reason to get that thing? This oasis is indeed the best place outside the public area. If you have to..."
He Ming said: "It must be done, then what?"
Li Xiang said: "She means to let the Li family send troops to force the land to occupy the place, and then you can succeed in whatever you want. We owe you more favors, which is absolutely OK."
He Tongyun said: "Since you said that, I'll leave here to send a message."
Li Xiang grabbed him and said, "What are you thinking? You can do such a big thing by bringing a letter to you. How big do you think we are? I suggest we evacuate immediately. Li Ya and I will discuss with the people of the family leader."
He Ming said: "If this is the case, I will accept you too many favors. Then you go first. I will continue to observe here and determine all the offensive and defensive weaknesses of the terrain. Of course, you have to figure out that these slow horses do not seem to have the ability to use long-range weapons, but they are very physically compatible and have super strong fighting skills. If they are not prepared enough, it will still be a waste of time."
Li Xiang smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, you should pay attention to safety when you are alone. Not to mention that these slow horses have a large range of movement, even the venomous scorpions and snakes in the desert are very dangerous."
He Ming signaled to reassure him, and then he saw them crawling into the dark wind and sand.
There is no doubt that He Ming's guess is very clear. This so-called adventurer is simply the top figure of the younger generation of the Li family. This action is probably to temper his abilities. He couldn't help but sigh, why is there such a big gap for such a big man?
The eldest son of the Li family went to dispatch troops in person, and indeed He Ming would not wait long. At noon on the third day of He Ming lurking in this oasis, a group of hundreds of people with well-trained, neat steps and complete lineup arrived at this oasis under the leadership of Li Xiang.
After He Ming came out to meet with them, he told Li Xiang: "The terrain on the east and north of the oasis is relatively high, and you can gain an advantage when attacking, while the terrain on the west is lower, so you can set up some ambush and snipers to attack the fugitives. The buildings and terrain on the south are very stable and not suitable for combat."
Soon, the warriors in the Tucheng City made their battle plans and preparations. From this moment on, these lives that were not tolerated by the world and Mir had no room for survival.
The soldiers of Tucheng had no intention of fighting with the powerful body and strength of the horse. After entering the oasis, they shot arrows with fighting spirits and raindrops directly from a relatively high terrain.
The simple horses cannot defend against arrows at all. Although their fighting spirit can be defended for a while, if they are caught in a few arrows, they cannot defend against this.
The terrible puncture strike, many horses outdoors fell into the rain of arrows with neighing sounds.
These movements immediately alarmed all the horses in this oasis, and rushed out of the village, many horses holding various simple stone tools. They rushed towards the invaders with anger and sadness.
He Ming looked at these slow horses from afar, and the ones rushing out of the village were more old, weak, women and children. Perhaps those who wandered outside during the day were strong soldiers, while these weak people stayed in the village to do some work within their ability.
No matter how much they feel, their doomsday has finally come. The only thing worthy of gratitude is probably the last words of the ancient horse leaders, who can be understood by He Ming before they perish. He Ming held the sword and was ready to rush forward. He was a little worried that these monsters would destroy the totem.
The ambushers who were ambushing the west did not work, and no slow horse tried to escape. Even if one of the best companions around them fell, they did not have any fear or hind legs, but continued to charge with despair.
On this side, a large number of corpses of slut horses were lying on the oasis. The soldiers of Tucheng had completely surrounded the slut horses' village, and almost all the slut horses who could participate in the battle fell to the ground.
He Ming noticed that in addition to the two tall totems at the entrance of the village, there is also a huge totem with more exquisite carvings in the center of the village. The content recorded in this village is probably more than that recorded in all the villages in front.
Maybe there is some crucial news inside.
Fortunately, he did not see anyone having the motivation to destroy the totem. He followed the soldiers of Tucheng into the village and saw five slow horses wearing thick shell armor guarding a very old slow horse elder holding a long staff.
"It's finally here, and our retribution for going against the flow has arrived. If you can hear it, you can see that the last words of the Great Elder are the last legacy, please make good use of them."
A sound of old and slightly inactive voice sounded. A strange feeling made He Ming feel as if he understood the meaning of the sound, but before he could experience it carefully, several terrible lightning bolts fell among the soldiers along the elder's casting.
