Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 535 53 Poisonous Scorpion Tribe

After three days, the wind and sand gradually stopped. read

The Hash caravan did not rush to hit the road immediately, but rested in the cave for three days. When the weather became clear again after the 3rd day, the porters returned to the ferry where they were last night and spent the whole morning recovering all the iron chains and bridge plates before setting off again.

Walking on this route, they may lose their companions and goods, but the necessary survival materials must be in their own hands.

Iron chains, wooden boards and rivets don't cost much and carry extremely high loads, but they can save everyone's lives at critical moments.

In the cave last night, Loki and Huo Sanye had roughly deduced the source of good luck on this journey.

The ability to "protect" them as they move forward in the desolate and inhabited black desert like an invisible giant hand is something that most people don't have.

Could this be the Illuminati?

Or some other organization?

They cherished this Eastland girl so much that they were afraid that the caravan would die from sand bandits, wild beasts, or something would happen while crossing the Liusha River.

So do your best to help them move forward smoothly!

Loki didn't think it was necessarily the Illuminati who helped them.

the reason is simple.

It might be a better choice if Illuminati members directly rob people in Memphis.

The rest of the trip turned into comfortable sightseeing again.

After crossing the Liusha River, the deeper black desert is a vast no-man's land.

The abandoned cities and villages that can often be seen in the peripheral sand sea have become extremely rare here. For three consecutive days, the places where the Hash caravan camped out at night were abandoned caves of giant snakes.

These caves are not always empty.

The inner black desert is a paradise for ancient creatures. The extremely sparse human population makes many terrifying monsters that have survived from ancient times choose to survive in this undisturbed land.

After existing for eternity, their bodies tend to become extremely large, and their combat abilities and combat experience are far beyond what their younger counterparts can match.

In previous years, when the caravan traders crossed the Liusha River, their main enemies would change from sand bandits to beasts and monsters that plunder caves.

Groups of hyenas, vultures, and sand snakes frequently appear in the deserted sand dunes. When encountering gregarious beasts, skilled caravan traders can mostly avoid fighting by lighting torches or throwing poisonous smoke.

Beasts are not scary

The most terrifying are those ancient monsters that have survived from ancient times to the present day.

When humans take ships to other continents, in addition to the crew and cargo, there is a high possibility that fleas, ants, or mice and other unplanned passengers may also be mixed in the dark corners on their ships.

After an ocean-going ship docks in a new continent, these creatures hidden in the ship will follow the crew off the ship, enter this new land, and become a new species.

The bachelors in the city believe that the same is true for the ancient monsters wandering in the corners of the continents at this time. When the alien gods came to this planet, they followed them in various ways.

After landing on this planet, due to the lack of natural enemies, some monsters even survive to this day. They are hidden in the corners of the world.

Some fell into a long slumber.

Some are waiting for opportunities to hunt the Chosen Ones and other monsters to obtain the pure spiritual energy in their bodies.

After crossing the Liusha River, the biggest threat to the caravan merchants gradually changed from sand bandits to ancient monsters wandering in this yellow sand. Although the probability of encountering wandering monsters in this vast land like the Mediterranean is not high, once encountered, it is almost certain death.

After traveling in the Black Desert for more than twenty years, the Hash Caravan has only encountered monsters twice.

Once, I encountered a group of tall, rock-like giants traveling south in the wind and sand.

Another time, I encountered a huge roc bird that covered the sky and sun and passed overhead at high speed.

The one with the highest combat power among his team is Abdullah Sah, who is on the "Fire Knight Path" under the Salary King 6 Path. The not-so-high sequence level means that the concentration of psychic energy in their bodies is not high.

The ancient monsters didn't even care about him.

Therefore, the Hash Horse Gang has never been attacked by monsters.

In the past, when they stayed in caves, they had to use fire and smoke to drive away the beasts in the cave. However, in recent days, every cave where Old Hash used to live has been empty. Not to mention wild animals, there are not even traces of feces, fur and other wild animals that have stayed here.

After crossing the Liusha River, "turning back" is no longer an option. No matter what happens, the Hash Horse Gang can only bite the bullet and continue moving forward.

Walking in the vast no-man's land, the blue sky and the endless red-yellow sand dunes become the only colors in everyone's sight.

After a large amount of food and water was consumed in the team, the length of the Hash caravan has been reduced to only more than 70 carriages. They walked in a long line across the empty sky and earth, like a wisp of dust in the air.

Getting through no man's land was not difficult for Old Hash.

There are no villages, no plants and no mountains in the no-man's land. The endless flowing sand dunes are like waves that change beyond recognition every few hours.

But Mohammad Harsh has a unique ability to record directions.

Whenever night falls, he will look up at the stars in the sky with his telescope. According to Mr. Huo's guess, the businessman who led Old Hash into the business is very likely to know some "yin-yang stargazing".

This person is probably the registered disciple of a certain "Yin Yang Sect" master.

**

The technology of relying on stars to identify directions originally came from the ancient Babylonian Kingdom in the Mesopotamia.

They connected the stars to form animal-like shapes to divide the starry sky above their heads. This set of stargazing methods called "The Twelve Zodiac Signs" will have a profound impact on later generations.

The 12 zodiac signs of the Eastern countries and the "birth constellations" of the Greek city-states are all evolutions based on the 12 signs of the zodiac.

However, positioning through the stars is ultimately vague and uncertain. When sailing long distances, there are bound to be a lot of deviations during the journey.

Want to accurately locate a cave with a diameter of 5 meters in a vast sand dune, or a well buried deep underground?

This ability can only be obtained by the "Yin-Yang Star Gazing Technique" of the "Yin-Yang School".

In the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the extremely complex "yin-yang stargazing technique" had been basically lost after the invention of the compass. However, what was unexpected was that Old Harsh would master this skill.

In the black desert where the magnetic needle often spins around, it is a treasure.

Mr. Huo didn't ask too much about his secrets. Every businessman who can start from scratch in this chaotic era has more or less some stories that belong only to him.

Compared with this "yin-yang stargazing technique", the flame cross he took out from his arms from time to time seemed to contain a very high concentration of flame spiritual energy.

There must be more secrets hidden in this person.

The Hash caravan was not moving very fast.

After traveling slowly for more than ten days, Old Harsh accurately led him out of the no-man's land. When desert plants appeared sporadically again, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Because he discovered the whereabouts of the "Scorpion Shepherd" on the edge of no man's land.

After crossing the Liusha River, the first free people tribe on the caravan route was the Poisonous Scorpion Tribe located in the "Lante Oasis". This is a group of devout believers with ancient beliefs. They have guarded the tomb of the famous emperor in ancient times, the "Poisonous Scorpion Emperor" for generations.

They firmly believe that the sleeping emperor will one day wake up again.

At that time, he will lead the remaining tribesmen to drive out all invaders and regain control of this land.
