This desolate yellow sand had occupied people's vision for a few days. The sudden appearance of this touch of greenery really made people feel refreshed.
Without further ado, Fang Linyan stepped heavily on the accelerator and sped toward the oasis.
If one looked from a distance, it was not difficult to find that this oasis in the desert was relatively low-lying. It was basically inside a basin.
Looking down, its shape looked like a giant horseshoe print.
The left and right sides of the oasis were surrounded by cliffs. Outside the cliffs were undulating sand dunes with bustling bushes growing on the sand dunes.
The remaining centaur tribe could choose this place as a temporary base, so there must be a water source inside.
When Fang Linyan approached the entrance, a team of centaurs in charge of patrolling made a strange battle horn sound and ran toward him.
Unlike Varden's attire, they wore gray, grass-woven vests on their upper bodies, while their lower bodies were wrapped in a simple woven material similar to a sumo wrestler's uniform. The material was probably not much different from linen.
The entrance of the camp was carefully arranged by the remaining centaur tribe. Fang Linyan could already see it less than a few hundred meters away from the cliff. There were several large flags on both sides of the entrance. The flagpole was made of brown wood, about 3 meters high. It was like an elongated cross stuck on the ground. At the top, there was a white skull.
Under the crossbeam of the flagpole, there was a blood-colored vertical flag. A curved arrow and two horseshoe prints were randomly drawn on it with charcoal strips. Several extinguished braziers were placed around the flagpole, and the charcoal was piled up inside.
After this team of centaurs rushed over aggressively, they surrounded the all-terrain vehicle.
The centaur guards held some primitive and barbaric weapons in their hands. There were cold and rough axes, machetes shaped like big horse leather, stones tied with ropes, and most of them were wooden sticks …
In short, their behavior could very well explain one thing:
This group of destitute centaurs did not show enthusiasm and hospitality. On the contrary, if the traveler from afar did not have enough strength or something like a token, then there was a high probability that he would be robbed.
At this time, the goat could only bite the bullet and stand up. As a result, as soon as the door opened, he found that an axe was placed directly on his neck. At the same time, a strong smell of mutton hit his face, almost making him faint on the spot.
After that, the primitive centaur in front of him began to squeak, saying a bunch of words that he did not understand. Moreover, it kept waving its weapon in front of him, as if it was about to chop him up.
There was no doubt that he was carrying out the routine procedure of robbery — Is my axe sharp? Hand over the valuables on your body?
Seeing that these vicious guys were about to make a move, the goat hurriedly took out the horn given by Varden and held it in his hand, then he shouted in the common language,
"Jordan! Varden! Friend, please inform them! "
Fortunately, the goat himself had a strong communication talent. This was a strange ability that even required space, so the centaurs carefully looked at the horn a few times, and they suddenly stopped harassing with some doubts.
After one of the centaurs with curly hair and 2 slender whiskers under his cheeks looked at the horn carefully, he also stood up and scolded the rest of the people. After explaining to his companions, he ran back to the camp alone.
Not long after, Fang Linyan saw 2 centaurs running out of the camp quickly. Unlike the rough men in these patrols, 2 women ran out at this time, or perhaps it should be 2 wild horses.
The female centaur in the lead had delicate skin. She was young at first glance. Her steps were vigorous, bouncing like a deer, vigorous and full of wildness. Her body was also painted with eye-catching witchcraft runes with white powder.
Of course, what made the goat stare was the pair of firm breasts swaying in front of her chest! Fang Linyan, who knew the goat well, was highly suspicious that there must be a lot of immature thoughts in the goat's mind at this time.
Moreover, these immature thoughts could not be covered by those mature provisions of the law …
Jordan held a long rod in her hand. The top of the rod was inlaid with a gem. It reflected a lot of light under the setting sun, which was very gorgeous. She slowly walked to the front and said,
"Human, where did you get this thing? Why do you know my name? "
Obviously, the lady in front of him was Jordan herself.
The goat shrugged and said,
"What a … strong wind! The sand is blowing into my eyes. Oh, I'm sorry, beautiful lady. I didn't mean to offend you. We killed a warg at that time, and then we were discovered by Varden. He asked me to give you the wolf's belt. He said that you should be very happy to see this thing. "
Immediately afterward, the goat took out the wolf skin peeled off from Ghastly Howl and handed it to Jordan.
Jordan took it in confusion, frowned, and looked at it for a while. At first, she seemed a little absent-minded, but suddenly a centaur next to her shouted in horror,
"How could this be? I actually smelled the scent of that demon! "
As he shouted, he trembled and even dropped the weapon in his hand.
Next, several people – oh no, centaurs also began to panic, and this panic was still spreading like a plague.
Obviously, the damage caused by Ghastly Howl was not only physical, but it also caused serious psychological trauma.
At this time, Jordan also shook off the wolf skin directly, then she was shocked when she saw it. She hurriedly looked at it carefully. After about a minute, she snatched the javelin next to her and directly pierced the wolf skin through the skull. Then she raised it high and began to run around the camp next to her fiercely. A series of fierce long howls came from her mouth.
After Jordan began to run, her people also joined the ranks. At the same time, they also let out a trombone sound, mixed with anger, excitement, relief, and other complex emotions. Many Centaurs even fell to the ground and began to cry.
As more and more people joined in, the sound of hooves gradually became thunderous, resounding through the sky.
After a while, most of the centaurs began to leave the team, then they began to build a fire. It seemed that they were preparing for a bonfire party. At this time, Jordan walked over slowly and said to Fang Linyan very solemnly,
"You killed Ghastly Howl?"
The goat told Jordan about the incident in detail. Of course, it was selective, and there was no lack of exaggeration. He let Jordan know that the loss on his side was not small. In order to kill the wolf king, they took a great risk and so on.
After listening to the goat's story, Jordan nodded slightly, bowed to him, then invited him into the camp and said that he had gained the friendship of the tribe. He would always be a friend of the centaurs.
Obviously, the 3 of them did not have much interest in the centaur celebration, so they spent more energy on looking at the nearby situation.
As for the goat, he followed closely behind Jordan without any distractions.
Under the lead of Jordan, after the 3 of them entered the camp, the first thing they saw was many tattered leather tents.
The tops of these tents were quite sharp, and there were patches on them. They should only play a basic role in sheltering from the wind and rain.
The layout of the camp was exotic. A brown leather tent sat in the middle. The tent was quite big, like a huge yurt. A brown flag fluttered at the top of the tent. A crescent moon symbol was drawn on it with white paint.
The large tent was surrounded by a large open space in order to show that it was different. From the charcoal piles on the open space, it could be seen that the bonfire party in the evening would also be held here.
Because of the abundant water source in the oasis, there were a large number of short shrubs and a date palm forest. Behind the tent was a quiet small lake. The small lake was full of weeds and breadfruit trees. Fang Linyan could even see some female centaurs washing something by the pond.
Jordan invited the 3 of them into the central tent, then someone brought them some meat slices, a jar of water and fruits.
The meat slices were cut very thin, and there were a few clean green leaves under them. To be honest, it looked better than expected. The 3 of them smelled the burnt aroma and felt that the taste was still good. At the same time, they were afraid that if they didn't eat it, they would anger the owner.
In this case, the 3 of them grabbed the food and ate it. After tasting it, he found that the barbecue was tasteless. To be exact, there was no seasoning. It had a slight fishy smell like mutton, but the taste was excellent. It was crispy and chewy.
However, there was a kind of pale red fruit that was very suitable for Fang Linyan's appetite. This fruit grew in bunches like grapes. It tasted sour and sweet, but the taste was between blueberries and strawberries. It was juicy but not overflowing.
The most unique thing was that the core of this fruit could be chewed. The first bite was like a fresh walnut, and the second bite was like a peanut.
Due to the fact that there was no table in the tent, and there was only a blanket on the ground, Fang Linyan and the other two ate with their legs crossed. After they were half full and poured a large mouthful of water into their mouths, Jordan tidied up his brown mane and said,
"Humans, how should I address you?"
It must be the goat who came out at this time. He immediately said,
"Ma 'am, my name is Goat!"
"Okay, Goat, although I don't know how you and Varden know each other, can you tell me the purpose of you coming here?"
Goat said,
"We don't have any intention of disturbing your life. It's just that a friend is very obsessed with exploring new sceneries and looking for more excitement, so he came to this planet. The key is that he was unfortunately captured by those hill giants."
"We obviously have no way to communicate with the hill giants to release him, so under Mr. Varden's suggestion, we hope to get some relevant information from you."
At this time, Fang Linyan added,
"By the way, we also reached an agreement with Mr. Varden to help him get rid of the villain, Stone Hammer Kishas. We are also lacking relevant information about him now."
Jordan said in shock,
"Stone Hammer Kishas?!! You're targeting him as well? "
Goat shrugged and said,
"Yes, because this is Mr. Varden's strong request, we hope to get your help."
Jordan pondered for a while and said,
"Stone Hammer Kishas is not so easy to deal with. We can help you collect information, but we can't help directly because as you can see, our manpower is actually very insufficient now."
Fang Linyan said,
"It's enough to have information. In addition, I want to say that not only do we need the information of Stone Hammer Kishas, but we also need the information of all the hill giants! Because our companions are still locked up in the giant's camp. "
Jordan nodded and said,
"No problem, it's a matter of course."
At this time, Fang Linyan suddenly said,
"Pardon me for asking, but which tribe do you belong to? Is it Magram or Kyrgyz? "
Jordan said straightforwardly,
"Magram tribe."
Fang Linyan said,
"That's strange, then why didn't Mr. Varden say this?"
Fang Linyan also used a conversational skill here. Varden didn't say this because Fang Linyan didn't mention this at all.
But when he said this, it seemed that the 2 had already discussed this matter, but Varden was still silent.
As a result, after being led by Fang Linyan, Jordan, the scheming little mare, immediately said,
"That's because Lord Varden still has some unspeakable troubles. His true identity is actually very noble. He is a member of the Golden Family, and there is a noble bloodline in his body! His true identity is the eldest prince of the Kyrgyz tribe, but the current chief of the Kyrgyz tribe is his younger brother. "
"At that time, in order to compete for the position of the khan, the 2 were unscrupulous and formed a blood feud. Because of the iron law in the tribe, the members of the Golden Family can't kill each other, otherwise they will be cursed by the ancestors. That's why Lord Varden can survive."
After Fang Linyan heard this, he said without changing his expression,
"Such a way of living must be very difficult, right?"
Jordan said,
"Yes, so when Lord Varden encountered danger several times, it was also the people of our Magram tribe who helped him through it."
The goat asked curiously,
"Isn't your Magram tribe and the Kyrgyz tribe sworn enemies?"
Jordan was silent for a while and said,
"Sworn enemies are sworn enemies, but whether it is the Magram tribe or the Kyrgyz tribe, they are all members of the Golden Family …"
The goat felt that it was somewhat inconceivable. After some inquiries, he found out that the huge Centaur tribe had been established by a powerful Tree Shepherd called Zaetar.
This Tree Shepherd hated the life of a wanderer, so he decided to settle down in this land. He gathered his own people and eventually established a huge tribe.
The bloodline passed down from Zaetar was known as the Golden Bloodline.
The pure bloodline that the human European aristocrats valued and advocated was actually useless. Those who were foppish were still foppish, and those who were perverted were still perverted. There were even various hereditary diseases caused by inbreeding.
For example, the entire European royal family, including the famous Queen Elizabeth, was shrouded in the shadow of hemophilia and impotence.
However, the bloodline of this Zaetar tree shepherd was the real deal! The Zaetar tribe had existed for more than 100 years. During this long period of time, there were a total of 89 priests and shamans with supernatural abilities in the tribe.
Among these 89 people, only 3 were ordinary centaurs, while the remaining 86 people more or less had the Golden Bloodline of Zaetar!
In the centaur tribe, priests and shamans naturally held the right of public opinion and ruling, so the saying that the Golden Bloodline was very noble was deeply rooted in the hearts of all centaurs.
Under such circumstances, even if the Magram tribe and the Kyrgyz tribe were fighting fiercely on the surface, in private, even if they saw Varden from a hostile tribe, they would still respect him very much. They would even help him if they could.
Under Jordan's explanation, Fang Linyan and the other 2 finally understood Varden's identity. This guy was a loser and a wanderer. He was abandoned by his own tribe, and he relied on his bloodline advantage to make a living on the enemy tribe's side.
However, Varden should also be a priest or shaman, so he could probably help the Magram tribe. Therefore, the 2 sides were interdependent or had a limited cooperation relationship.
After pondering for a while, Fang Linyan said,
"Then I have one last question."
Jordan shrugged and said very straightforwardly,
"You killed Ghost Howl. Even if you ask 100 more questions or do something more excessive, it's fine."
Before Fang Linyan replied, the goat's eyes suddenly lit up. Obviously, he thought of something "more excessive" … Fang Linyan continued,
"Then I'll ask … who is the owner of Ghost Howl?"
Jordan said sadly,
"Ghastly Howl was originally a wolf cub that was on the verge of death. It was even abandoned by its mother. It was a Kyrgyz shaman, Verogo, who adopted it. Two years later, it became a terrifying demon wolf and unified the wolf pack!"
"And when we were in a decisive battle with the Kyrgyz tribe, Ghost Howl led the wolf pack and cooperated with the Bloody Beak Vulture King – Mazra to launch a surprise attack from behind, making us lose the upper hand."
"Ghost Howl, who has extremely strong endurance, has been following our retreating people and constantly launching surprise attacks. Almost half of the remaining people of our tribe have relatives and friends who died under the attack of Ghost Howl. This is why you can get our friendship after bringing its skin."
After understanding these problems, Fang Linyan nodded, then said,
"Understood … Thank you!"
***
After wandering around the camp for a while, and then resting for a while, the 3 felt that they had already set up 3 additional trump cards at this time, so of course they planned to return to the camp at this time.
It was worth mentioning that Mountain Goat found a lot of human belongings in the centaur camp, including backpacks, clothes, and so on. After asking around, he found out that these things were left behind by the adventurers that the centaurs usually collected.
Moreover, there were many gold ornaments in the centaur camp. Of course, the manufacturing process was very simple.
