Chapter 300: Deep in the Sea
"The sea city is definitely dangerous. There are tornadoes, quicksand, and all kinds of carnivorous beasts that can ambush and kill you.
These are just some of the external risks that we ordinary people see. The most dangerous things are actually what we cannot see.
The Ten Cities used to be an oasis, no different from the Central Plains. But now you can see that it is covered with yellow sand, and the desert is spreading outward with Haishi as its center.
The North Kingdom and the East Kingdom were all affected. Some nearby small countries had been swallowed by the desert. They were left homeless. Some were taken as slaves by the North Kingdom, and some moved to the Ten Cities, a no-man's land.
But if the weathering continues like this, Shicheng will not be able to hold out for much longer. The farmland here can no longer be cultivated, there is no water, and the trees are gradually drying up.
The nights in Shicheng are very cold, but in Haishi, it is frozen at night and like a furnace during the day, and strangers cannot get close at all.
Therefore, anyone who goes in to look for treasure must withdraw before dawn, otherwise they will be roasted.
In order to resist the cold, the orcs transformed themselves into furry forms and put on thick cold-proof clothing, so they could move around a little.
Since you, my dear, have helped me fix the calculator, it would be fine for me to lead the way for you.
I, an old woman, have some experience, so I have a better chance of helping you get out alive."
If this person is really someone close to the Fourth Princess, the shop owner wants to get in touch with him, join the Fourth Princess's forces, and leave the Ten Cities which are becoming increasingly unsuitable for orcs to survive.
"Okay, thank you, boss." With an 80% chance of survival, Jiang Changle thought she should be able to protect the store for a few more points.
Besides, if the shop owner can take out treasures from the sea market, then her strength must be strong.
The two men put on thick clothes and carried lanterns. When they arrived at the hall, the store owner's people were already waiting there, but there were only ten of them.
They opened the door of the inn slightly and quietly joined the sacrificial ceremony team.
Jiang Changle also noticed that the lanterns made by the shop owner were filled with incense, and his subordinates were holding blood bags, chanting blessings devoutly. This was a sacrificial ceremony.
Jiang Changle saw that the power of offerings was continuously floating towards the depths of the sea city, which was indeed like the call of the gods.
The closer we get to the sea city, the colder the weather becomes, the stronger the wind becomes, and the clearer the wailing sounds carried by the wind become.
However, these orcs were not afraid at all, instead their chanting became louder and louder.
Until they came to a ravine in the snow and ice, the orcs hid in the ravine one after another.
The ice surface turned fiery red under the illumination of the crimson moon. What was strange was that the ice was directly covered on the sand.
Only a huge temperature difference can lead to such a situation. The current temperature is probably minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius. If it weren't for the orcs' bodies, I'm afraid no one would be able to withstand such a low temperature.
"Here they come." The shop owner next to him suddenly spoke, and the beastmen at the scene also became agitated.
Jiang Changle's senses were naturally more sensitive than those of these orcs. She knew that what the shop owner was referring to was the storm, the tornado that brought the treasure.
The orcs held tightly to the iron chains that had been buried long ago, and some even tied their bodies with the chains.
Jiang Changle thought they did this because they were afraid of being swept away by the tornado, but when the wind and sand came roaring, the orcs tied with iron chains rushed into the storm without hesitation.
Judging from the look of it, he is obviously going to look for treasure in the storm, he simply doesn't care about his life.
The orcs who thought they were weak just held on to the chains tightly to avoid being blown away, waiting for the tornado to pass before they could emerge from the buried sand and dust.
Search for Lingding's treasure. If you find it in the end, you must leave Haishi as soon as possible. Otherwise, what awaits them is the quicksand after the ice melts, which is the most terrifying existence.
"Hold on tight and wait until the storm passes before coming out."
The inn owner and Jiang Changle shared the same chain; this was their inn's territory.
Today the shop owner brought Jiang Changle here to see the world, so he did not rush into the storm.
But Jiang Changle's goal was to find the source and origin of the storm. She wanted to know if there were any teleportation arrays in those places and the origins of those treasures.
"Boss, I'm going in to take a look. You don't have to follow me."
Jiang Changle put on goggles and a mask early on, and walked steadily into the storm using his spiritual power to protect himself.
The shop owner who originally wanted to stop it was stunned. Everyone else was swept away, but her little customer was so powerful that even the tornado could not do anything to him.
However, the shop owner couldn't see her for long, because she was soon covered by the wind and sand.
Jiang Changle flew into the tornado and saw some powerful orcs also wandering around in the tornado, looking for so-called treasures.
But those people were somewhat passive and were swept up in the attack. If they were not careful, they would have an accident and die.
Unlike Jiang Changle who can move freely in a tornado, there are really treasures in the wind and sand. Most of them are things from other worlds compared to the animal world, and there are a lot of modern small items.
After seeing this, Jiang Changle pushed the objects to the nearest orcs and pushed them out of the storm.
So this time, the orcs who entered the storm basically got one or two treasures and walked out of the tornado alive.
It was a miracle, but they did not see clearly who the young man was who helped them.
That young man with super strength is probably the best in the world in Kung Fu.
Jiang Changle braved the storm and flew into the depths of the desert according to the traces left by the tornado. As he walked, the storm gradually subsided, leaving behind a barren sand dune.
The temperature continued to drop, and the sand dunes were freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The only thing that could guide her was the distant and desolate wailing coming from afar.
The sound was like the last howl of a wounded beast, full of despair and desolation. Every cry seemed to carry endless pain and sorrow, echoing endlessly in this desolate desert.
It is struggling, trying to break free from the shackles of fate, so it desperately calls for help, longing for redemption and liberation.
Perhaps, he had deliberately released those little gadgets in order to attract people to rescue him.
The further Jiang Changle walked, the faster her heart beat. She felt that this must be the earth dragon calling for help.
It is a divine beast and requires the power of worship.
Then it all makes sense.
Walking further, Jiang Changle finally saw several tall snow-capped mountains. Perhaps because they were too high, even the wind and sand could not cover up their grandeur.
When we got closer to the snow-capped mountain, we discovered that there was a familiar military formation guarding the outside of the mountain.
Jiang Changle was delighted, it must be Xiaofeng!
There are also differences between formations because everyone has different habits, and this familiar method is what Chu Weifeng usually uses.
Finally found the person!
Jiang Changle breathed a sigh of relief. From the outside, the formation showed no signs of being damaged, so the people inside seemed to be safe.
But life is full of surprises~
