Zhao Hai had just fused with Little Mao. He did this in order to borrow Little Mao's strong sense of smell. An elephant's sense of smell was very strong, it could smell water from dozens of miles away. It could also smell water several meters underground. This ability wasn't something that an ordinary animal could have. Zhao Hai wanted to borrow Little Mao's ability. He wanted to see if there was any water nearby.
Now he knew that there was the smell of water about 50 miles northwest of them. Moreover, the smell was very strong. It was clear that there was a lot of water vapor there.
When Zhao Hai came out from behind the tree, he saw Captain Feng and the others coming over. There were still water droplets on their faces, all of them had smiles on their faces.
Zhao Hai looked at Captain Feng and smiled faintly, "Captain, how was it? I said that we would have food and drink. Hehe, how was it? I didn't lie, right? "
Captain Feng laughed and said, "Good kid, you didn't lie, you didn't lie. Very good. With you here, we can come and go freely in the desert. Hahaha."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Captain, you rest here first. I'll go with Ban Zhu to take a look around. I need to replenish my energy. I don't need anything else, I just need water."
Captain Feng stared, then he said, "What? Do you have a target? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I don't, but I want to try. Ban Zhu's nose is very good. If we're close to a water source, then he can smell it."
Captain Feng nodded and said, "Alright, then you go. Come back quickly." Zhao Hai nodded, then he mounted his horse and ran away.
Captain Feng looked at Zhao Hai's back, then he turned to Liu Yuangong and said, "Yuangong, you've made a great contribution this time. I feel that absorbing the Crane Grass into our Saber Guard Army was the best decision we've made."
Liu Yuangong smiled but didn't say anything. He was also very optimistic about Zhao Hai. However, he didn't expect that Zhao Hai would be so outstanding.
At this time, Zhao Hai was already riding his horse towards the place where he smelled the water. Before long, they arrived at the place where he smelled the water. But when they arrived, Zhao Hai was dumbfounded. This was because this place wasn't an oasis, there was no trace of water. There was only yellow sand, a small sand dune, and nothing else.
Zhao Hai stared, then he jumped down from Ban Zhu's back. Then he waved his hand and released Little Mao. Little Mao was now the size of an adult elephant. Zhao Hai communicated with Little Mao and had it smell the water. After Little Mao smelled the water, it nodded to Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai understood that there was indeed water under the sand soldier, so he felt relieved.
Then Zhao Hai received Little Mao and mounted his horse. Then he turned around and ran back. It didn't take long before Zhao Hai arrived at the forest. Now that the horses were full, Captain Feng and the others were also full. Several people were sitting and chatting. When they saw Zhao Hai come back, Captain Feng immediately said, "How was the Crane Grass? Did you find anything?"
Zhao Hai jumped down from his horse and said, "Yes, about 50 li to the northwest. There's a sand dune there, but there might be an underground river under the sand dune. I'm going there to take a look."
When Captain Feng heard Zhao Hai, he stared for a moment, then he immediately said, "Alright, then we'll wait for the hottest period to pass. Then we'll go there and rest tonight. We've been running around the prairie these past few days, so we can finally have a good night's sleep."
Everyone nodded, then Zhao Hai also sat down. At this time, the Plant Masters ran to Zhao Hai's side. Each of them looked at Zhao Hai with shining eyes. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "What? Didn't I give you the method? What else do you want? "
The leader of the Plant Masters smiled and said, "We're here to thank you. Crane Grass, do you know that your method has opened a door for all Plant Masters? In the past, Plant Masters only used Plant Masters to make mutated plants for battle. They never thought of making plants into mutated plants with such abilities. Think about it, if it's a lone army, as long as they follow a Plant Master who has a lot of these plants, it's equivalent to not having to worry about logistics. They can go further to attack the enemy. How great of a contribution would that be? "
"Fan Yi is right. Crane Grass, your way of doing things has opened a new window for all plant masters. At the same time, it has also allowed all armies to fight in a more multifaceted manner. You can say that you have led the way for plant masters to change," Captain Feng said from the side.
Zhao Hai was puzzled as he looked at Captain Feng and said, "Is it that serious?"
Captain Feng nodded, then he said with a heavy expression, "Do you know why our Saber Spirit Country stationed so many troops at Yellow Wind Fort? It's because we're afraid that the Wolf Spirit Country would attack us. In terms of military strength, we're much stronger than the Wolf Spirit Country. However, the Wolf Spirit Country's advantage lies in their mobility. They mainly eat dried meat, and their cavalry can come and go like the wind. Once they enter the prairie, our logistics would become a big problem. Because of this, we can only be attacked from the back. If we can use your method to bring food and water, then our army can charge into the prairie and slaughter the Wolf Spirit Country's bandits one by one. "
"Yes, there's also the method of using natural energy on the horses. If our cavalry can use this method, then our cavalry wouldn't suffer any losses when facing the Wolf Soul Country's cavalry. However, I think that this method isn't suitable to be popularized. If the Wolf Soul Country were to know about this method, then their cavalry would become even more powerful, which would make things more troublesome for us." Liu Yuangong said.
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. Once our Saber Guard Army uses this method, then it will inevitably spread. In the end, I'm afraid that the whole world will know about it." Wu Fei said with a heavy voice.
Hearing Wu Fei's words, everyone turned silent. They understood what Wu Fei meant. Although the Saber Guard Army was loyal to the Imperial Family, it was hard to say how many of them were spies.
Zhao Hai's face was calm as he said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Things will happen sooner or later. It would be better for us to take the initiative and grow stronger as soon as possible."
Captain Feng nodded, then he said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take a good rest, there's no point in thinking about it. These things need to wait until we get back. Let's rest for a while, we need to sleep for two hours in order to avoid the hottest part of the day." Everyone nodded, then they went to find a place to sleep.
After two hours, the sun was no longer as hot. Everyone got up and Zhao Hai directly collected the trees. When Captain Feng and the others saw the forest turn into seeds, they couldn't help but sigh at the magic of Plant Masters. Then everyone set off on their journey. This time, they walked very slowly. After walking for about 50 li, they stopped at the sand dune that Zhao Hai mentioned.
Zhao Hai jumped down from Mottled Bamboo, then he pointed at the small sand dune and said, "Captain, it's that sand dune. There might be an underground river underneath it, but it's buried."
Captain Feng looked at the sand dune, then he frowned and said, "Crane Grass, are you sure? This sand dune isn't low. Can Mottled Bamboo really smell the water through the sand? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he rode Mottled Bamboo to the sand dune. Then with a move of his hand, a black line drilled into the sand dune. Before long, the black line drilled into Zhao Hai's hand. Zhao Hai turned his head to Captain Feng and said, "Captain, let's rest here. I need to replenish my water."
When Captain Feng saw Zhao Hai's expression, he knew that there was indeed water underneath the sand dune. He didn't say anything else and just nodded. Then he got down from his horse and prepared to camp here for the night. At this time, Zhao Hai took out all the trees that were released at noon. When the trees appeared, their roots immediately went down. Then the Bottle Tree's trunk expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, no one doubted Zhao Hai. Everyone tied up their horses and prepared to rest for the night. To be honest, they didn't feel that the desert was bitter. They had food and drink. Although the wind was strong, it wasn't a problem for them. Therefore, everyone sat together and laughed as they ate and drank. Unfortunately, there weren't any dead trees nearby, so there was no way to make a fire.
After eating, everyone went down into the forest. However, they all wrapped themselves tightly with blankets. Even the horses were gathered together to prevent them from running around.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky quickly darkened. When the sky darkened, the desert's climate immediately turned cold. Moreover, the temperature dropped to a frightening degree in a very short period of time. Soon, the desert's temperature became so low that a drop of water would turn into ice.
In this case, whether it was the Baobab Tree or the Bottle Tree, they weren't suitable for survival. Zhao Hai had no choice but to store the two trees. Naturally, Captain Feng and the others didn't object to Zhao Hai's method. They were still counting on these two trees to eat and drink. If they were frozen, then it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, everyone was a cultivator. They wrapped themselves in a blanket. In this kind of weather, they could safely get through it. None of them froze to death.
The next day, everyone got up. After feeding the horses, everyone rushed towards the desert. Captain Feng and the others hadn't come to the desert to perform a mission, so they weren't very familiar with the place. Zhao Hai had only seen some information, so he didn't think that this place was very hot. Therefore, everyone could only move forward.
However, it didn't take long for them to find someone. On the morning of the third day after they entered the desert, they were still on their way. At this time, they were already in a hilly area. They were surrounded by rocky mountains or yellow mountains.
Just as Zhao Hai and the others were moving forward, a whistling sound was suddenly heard. Then the sound of hooves could be heard. A group of people rushed out from behind a mountain. They were wearing sheepskin coats and had scimitars in their hands. Their mouths issued wolf-like howls as they rushed towards Zhao Hai and the others.
When Captain Feng saw this situation, his eyes lit up. Then he laughed and said, "Brothers, we have work to do." Then he took out his weapon. The others also took out their weapons. Zhao Hai also took out his bullhead drum. Then Captain Feng gave a command as everyone rushed towards the group.
The group of bandits that rushed out numbered about 200 people. Their strength was good, but how could they compare to Captain Feng and the others? Zhao Hai and the others rushed forward. In just two charges, all of the bandits were knocked down from their horses. Although these people were injured, they didn't die. However, they also lost their ability to fight.
Zhao Hai and the others jumped down from their horses and walked towards the bandits. The bandits weren't as courageous as Zhao Hai and the others imagined. When they saw Zhao Hai and the others coming over, they immediately began to loudly beg for mercy.
When Captain Feng saw the appearance of these people, he coldly snorted and said, "Shut up. Speak, who is the leader. If you tell me, I'll spare your lives."
But what Captain Feng didn't expect was that when the bandits heard this, they immediately closed their mouths. However, nobody spoke. Seeing this situation, Captain Feng stared. Then he couldn't help but coldly snort and said, "Good, you want to play this game with me? That's simple. Yuangong, go and kill them. Kill them until they speak. "
Liu Yuangong nodded. Then he went forward and grabbed a person in front of him. Just as he was about to cut him down, Captain Feng suddenly said, "Wait, don't do it here. I don't like the smell of blood." Liu Yuangong nodded. Then that person went to the back of Zhao Hai's group. Then a scream was heard.
Then Liu Yuangong went to pull the person to the back of the group. Another scream was heard. Then Liu Yuangong pulled the person to the back of the group. After pulling ten people in a row, the bandits began to sweat. Just as Liu Yuangong was about to pull more people, a person in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Wait, don't kill. I'm the leader. If you want to kill, then kill me.
Let me go. "Liu Yuangong coldly snorted. Then he went forward and pulled the person to the back of the group. Then a scream was heard. Captain Feng looked at the bandits on the ground and said," Speak, is that person the real leader? You still have a chance. If you say who the real leader is, then I'll only kill that person. Otherwise, all of you will die! "
When the bandits heard Captain Feng, they couldn't help but stare blankly. Then many of them unconsciously swept their gaze towards a person in the crowd. This person wasn't tall and had an ordinary appearance. They couldn't see anything special about him. Captain Feng didn't notice this person before. But when he saw the bandits' actions, Captain Feng immediately waved his hand. Liu Yuangong walked towards the person. When the person saw Liu Yuangong walking towards him, his face couldn't help but flash with a ruthless expression. Then he suddenly roared and rushed towards Liu Yuangong. His movements were very agile, he didn't seem to be injured at all.
However, Liu Yuangong was already prepared for this move. As soon as the man moved, Liu Yuangong chopped down with his saber and directly chopped off the man's head.
