Chapter 400 Land of Death

Chapter 400 Land of Death
Regardless of the outcome, Old Pierre thought he had found a supporter in Li Zhuoguang's life. Apart from anything else, the two bottles of distilled liquor in his arms would become heirlooms as long as they were properly preserved.

If necessary, they can be auctioned off. The resources obtained can expand the Haichao City Guard to three times its current size and sustain it for a long time.

Since his lord was so generous, Old Pierre paid more attention to what Li Zhuoguang had told him. He promised that after resolving the matter in Wangya City, he would make investigating the movement routes of the elemental creatures the top priority of Haichao City.

With confidence in his heart, Old Pierre sent someone to send a letter to Wangya City, asking the new city lord of Wangya City to negotiate outside Haichao City in three days. The reason why he made the appointment so urgently was that he was afraid that the fruit would go bad if he waited too long.

After accepting Li Zhuoguang's recruitment, Old Pierre certainly didn't have to return the food, but he couldn't bear to eat it himself. So he decided to use the good water on the cracks, and use the fruits left by his lord to shock Wangya City and let them know that he is different now.

Of course, Old Pierre was also very sensible and told Li Zhuoguang his intention. Li Zhuoguang had no objection and let him make his own decision. But at the same time, Old Pierre also invited Li Zhuoguang to participate in the negotiations three days later.

Li Zhuoguang glanced at Aliana. Aliana estimated the distance and said, "It will take half a day to go there and half a day to come back. It will take a day to deal with things and rest. If the negotiations are held in the evening, we can make it in time."

Old Pierre then remembered that Li Zhuoguang and his team hired Ariana as a bodyguard to protect them on the road. As for where Li Zhuoguang and his team were going, Li Zhuoguang didn't say, and Old Pierre didn't ask.

After all, in this area, the outside of the city is almost entirely wasteland and desert. In addition to wasteland and desert, there are some remaining resource points, such as ancient wells that are still producing water, humid places where fungi grow, or caves with many reptiles.

These are all wealth, and if ordinary people or forces discover them, they will remember the location and take them at regular intervals. Those with a little more power will also send people to guard them.

So when people find out that someone is traveling for a purpose, if they don't want to be misunderstood and cause a fight, it's best not to ask too much.

Old Pierre was just considerate enough to prepare a pack cart for the senior members. As for the food, after Li Zhuoguang repeatedly declined, Old Pierre took it back.

This cart is quite interesting. In this world, humans are almost considered large animals, and it is really difficult for other livestock to survive. Only some nobles have the spare capacity to raise some poultry.

Therefore, the animal power of this cart is the elemental creatures. After capturing the elemental creatures of suitable size, they use special methods to drill holes in their bodies to reach the core, and then inject special poisonous sand to corrode the core and weaken the elemental creatures.

In this way, they could not break free of the yoke that was nailed into their bodies. The driver did not sit on the chariot, but extended the yoke a long way and made a small chair in front of the elemental creature's head.

Although the elemental creatures were tireless, their intelligence was too low. After being harnessed to the cart, they could not turn around and could only see the front. When they saw someone in front, they wanted to get close to attack, and this movement caused the body of the cart to move. The driver sitting in front, as long as he adjusted his posture, could control the elemental creature to turn left and right to achieve the purpose of turning.

Among the crowd, only Ariana could operate this kind of vehicle, and she was the only one who knew the way, so she served as the driver, sitting on a small chair in the front, and led the cart out of the city.

It can be seen that this world had a relatively brilliant civilization before the disaster. Although there is a shortage of materials now, many crafts have been passed down, such as this pack cart. Although it looks simple, it actually has a shock absorption system. The wheel is not just a wooden wheel. In addition to the main structure of wood, there are metal components on it, and the outer periphery of the wheel is also wrapped with a layer of something similar to rubber.

As the elemental creatures ran, the cart moved quickly across the wasteland. From time to time, Aliana would jump onto the backs of the elemental creatures, open the lids of the holes, and throw in a proper amount of poisonous sand.

According to Aliana, this is a technical job. If too little poisonous sand is put in, the elemental creature will lose control, while too much will make it too weak and affect its speed.

As the cart moved forward, Li Zhuoguang discovered that the ground along the way was becoming increasingly dry, and even the rocks were beginning to turn white.

Aliana explained in front: "From here on, it is the land of death. The white coarse sand on the ground is coarse salt. According to legend, this place used to be a sea. When the nearby Haichao City and Wangya City were first established, their names did not refer to the sand sea and cliffs."

As she spoke, Ariana raised her hand, and the water ring on her hand began to splash water, forming a thin water curtain that covered the entire cart.

There seemed to be a strong wind outside, which swept up the salt grains on the ground and began to hit the water curtain, causing ripples. However, the people inside the water curtain did not feel anything at all, but instead felt that the air around them became moist.

"The hot wind blowing outside is quite hot. If an ordinary person is exposed to this wind, he will be burned and the water in his body will evaporate faster. It is not enough to rely on fresh internal organs and blood to replenish water.

Even if you have enough water and special clothes to resist the hot wind, the coarse salt grains blown by the wind are not something that ordinary people can withstand.

Unless you are a strong person with plenty of water, ordinary people can't pass through the Land of Death. Because of the constant hot wind, standing outside the Land of Death and looking inside, you can only see a vast expanse of white, and you won't know that there is a crater in the center of the Land of Death. "

Soon, as the cart moved forward, everyone saw the crater that Aliana mentioned. It was indeed a magnificent mountain. Li Zhuoguang suspected that this mountain was an active volcano under the sea in the past.

After approaching the volcano, Aliana began to circle the foot of the mountain. After a while, she seemed to see something and drove the car behind a huge rock.

Before the car stopped, two people lifted the white animal skin blanket and jumped out. To be exact, they were not humans, but elves. They nodded respectfully to Aliana, and then looked at Li Zhuoguang and others in the car with curious eyes.

They didn't ask, it seemed that Ariana had a high status in her tribe. But Ariana took the initiative to say: "They are my friends. Whether it is the water ring or the magic of creating water and forests, they were all given by me."

Upon hearing this, the two elves immediately revealed a fiery and excited look and knelt on one knee in front of the cart.
