What came into view was a sea of sand. The sand dunes formed by the wind stretched into the distance. Looking up, there was no vegetation. The exposed rocks of different sizes formed a variety of strange shapes under the erosion of the wind and sand.
Shao Xuan looked at the rock above his head that looked like the big head and slender neck of an ET alien. He had a feeling that the rock would not be able to withstand the wind and collapse.
After half a day of trekking, the team rested here, and they could use these rocks to shelter the hot Yang Guang.
At this time, if an egg was hit on the ground, it would be cooked immediately.
"Where did the man from the Mang tribe say we were going?" Tuo asked.
"Luoye City." Shao Xuan said, "It's the territory of the slave owners."
Two days after entering the desert, Huang Ye told Shao Xuan where the destination of this trip was. Before, Shao Xuan had asked many times but failed to get an answer, only a "you'll know when the time comes." And on the way, Shao Xuan and the other two could clearly feel the rejection of other people. It seemed that this time they were just taking them through the motions, and they were not arranged in the plan.
In particular, the people of the Tianshan tribe were not only on guard against Shao Xuan and the other two, but also with obvious hostility. They often pointed their arrows at Shao Xuan and the other two, and the two sides almost fought several times.
The people of other tribes would have elders to inform them of the relevant information. Only the three people of Yanjiao did not say much to them. Even Qu Ce and others, who usually talked with the three people more often, wanted to say something but stopped many times. They did not dare to talk nonsense.
Now, they were finally told that they were going to a place called "Luoye City" that belonged to a slave owner. As for the person who had kept his mouth shut previously, he was now able to reveal more and speak more casually.
Some people in the team seemed to be superior when facing the three people of Yanjiao, probably like urban intellectuals looking at the country bumpkins.
The concept of "city" was quite strange to the people of Yanjiao. In their knowledge, they only knew the concept of the tribe. As for "city", it was vague. If there was no explanation from Shao Xuan, Lei and Tuo would still be confused.
"A 'city'? I really want to see if it's bigger than a tribe. By the way, Xuan, who do they think is the biggest person in the city? 'Chief'? "Ray asked.
"No, I heard it was the 'Lord'," said Tuo.
"'Master' is called that by slaves. Others are not." Ray corrected.
"It's' King. 'In the city, the highest ruler calls himself' King, '" Shao Xuan said.
From Shao Xuan's understanding of the situation, there were many slave owners in this desert, with their subordinates entrenched everywhere. The place where each slave owner lived was called a "city", not the "tribe" that the tribesmen were familiar with.
It was reasonable to say that the slave owners and the tribesmen could not coexist peacefully, but there were always a few special places that existed.
Luoye City was one of the most special cities in the desert.
In the past, the "king" of Luoye City was also a slave owner who hated the tribes very much. Generation after generation, the ruler of Luoye City was changing, and so was the style of Luoye City.
The biggest change happened twenty years ago.
The former Luoye City King, because of his lustful nature, snatched a lot of beautiful female slaves and gave birth to a bunch of sons and daughters.
Originally, under normal circumstances, only the descendants of slave owners and slave owners could inherit the powerful abilities of their parents. Because of this, many slave owners did not take the descendants of those slaves seriously. They directly threw them into the slave trade and raised them as slaves. Until 20 years ago, there was a strong counterattack.
The father of the counterattack was a slave owner, and the mother was just a low-level slave with no ability. But it was such a person who fully inherited his father's ability and talent. After adulthood, he was even stronger than his father. Later, the counterattack not only killed his slave owner father, but also the slave owner queen, along with his half-brother who was about to inherit the throne.
The counterattack, who shocked many jaws, was now the highest ruler of Luoye City, the largest slave owner of Luoye City, and became the Luoye City King.
When they heard this, Lei and Tuo were very puzzled. Probably this was not in line with their three views. In the Flaming Horns tribe, even if it was a competition, it could not be fought in such a bad way, let alone brothers who were related by blood. However, after all, that was other people's family business. Besides, their chief did not find so many people to have a large number of descendants. The Shaman was watching.
"The Luoye City King should be the best slave owner for the tribes, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible to let the tribes enter the city. "Tuo said.
"Then we have to go into the city and see." Shao Xuan said. He did not think that the Luoye City King, who cut his father and all his brothers and sisters, would look at the tribes differently. The most likely was that he used the tribes to fight against other slave owners. After all, a counterattack that shocked countless jaws, the price to pay must be quite high.
"Let's go, set off for Luoye City!" Lei looked at the people who got up and said.
After the team set off again, they walked for another two days. Sometimes they could not find a suitable place to rest, so they went directly into the desert. They also encountered some desert beasts that came out at night. Four people were lost in the team, dragged under the sand, and could no longer be found.
On the fifth day of walking into the desert, the team continued to move forward under the sun. Compared with the travel teams that Shao Xuan had seen, this team was the most abused.
The hot and dry air waves swept over the boundless desert.
The wind was blowing, and the wind was whirling.
The sand was blown into a dune.
Not far away, on a tall hill that looked like a mountain, some grains of sand were blown up and blew over the ridge.
The main body of such a tall dune had existed for many years. It may be hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even longer.
"Look, there's someone over there!" It was not only someone who shouted.
Looking sideways, there was a tall hill in the distance. On the ridge, there was a group of people walking on a camel.
"Who is that? Which city's slaves? "
"I can't see clearly. I don't know which city they are from, but looking at the direction they are going, they should be from Luoye City, right?" Someone said.
"Don't worry about it. Keep going, we're almost there," An elder said.
When encountering slaves, as long as those slaves did not take the initiative to look for trouble, the travel team would not attack them at will. They had to save their strength to hurry on the road and did not want to spend more effort to deal with those slaves.
As they continued to move forward, Shao Xuan found that the team was going in the same direction as them, and the camel he was leading began to get excited.
"Did they see the same kind?" Shao Xuan pulled the somewhat excited camel and did not let it rush forward.
There seemed to be some other smells in the air, floating with the wind. The camel next to him was even more excited, and it seemed to want to run over. Not in the direction of the team, but directly ahead.
"Luoye City?" Lei also smelled other smells in the air. Because they often hunted, they were very sensitive to the changes in the surrounding smells.
In addition to the changes in smells, there were also some sounds.
After another hill, Shao Xuan saw the destination of their trip – Luoye City.
At this time, the sun was already slanting towards the horizon.
The orange sunset shone on the vast desert, and looking ahead, there were large tracts of leaves with the same color as the sunset.
The orange trees, the orange sunset, and the desert city that was dyed by the setting sun.
It is said that the most common tree in Luoye City is the sunset tree. Because the color of the leaves is similar to the sunset, it never changes color all year round, so it was named. Even the symbol of Luoye City is the deciduous tree.
It is said that deciduous trees live for thousands of years without dying, thousands of years without falling, and thousands of years without falling. It's just hearsay, no one knows the truth. However, looking around, there are indeed large tracts of sunset trees in Luoye City, and seeing these trees makes people feel cool. After walking in the desert for so many days, in addition to sand and stones, now it is rare to see so many plants, and their mood is a lot better.
In addition to those sunset trees, there are some unknown grasses around the city. Although not much, they do exist. No wonder the camel next to them was so excited, it was aware of food.
Standing on the sand dune and looking at Luoye City, in addition to the conspicuous trees with the same color as the sunset, there is also a tall building.
Below the building are huge stones like a pyramid, and above it is a house built.
"The highest place in Luoye City is where the king lives." An elder of the Hui tribe said.
