Lord of Rot

Chapter 348
Near the exit of the Bangta Canyon, the temperature suddenly increased.

Under the sun's rays, the sand and gravel absorb heat and heat up rapidly. It is the weather in June again, and the people in the team are already sweating profusely before they can walk out of the gap in the canyon.

Extraordinary people like Li Qi were in better condition, but the ordinary soldiers were extremely tired. Fortunately, the cavalry had spare horses for transfer, otherwise the team would have to stop.

Out of the canyon, suddenly see the light.

The sun falls on the endless yellow sand, and the reflected golden light hurts the eyes.

The heat distorts sight.

The soldiers in armor quickly covered themselves with a coat, otherwise the iron shell would absorb heat and they would have to be cooked first.

Li Qi set up a pergola with his hands, squinting and looking into the distance.

There is nothing to see.

The leader of the caravan came with a map, raised his head and said to Li Qi: "My lord, if you go forward for half a day, there will be a post."

He took a look at the map and found that there were dozens of miles away from the station, and the target of their trip, the Bangta Bazaar, was even further away.

If you don't take a break midway and replenish fresh water and food, the road ahead will be difficult.

Returning the map to the merchant, Li Qi said, "Okay, let's go to the station to rest."

Now he has connected the three places of Iron Valley, Burning City and Shuijian Land through the Shuijian River Bend.

Then go to the tributaries to disperse, and you can contact Lintawan with grandpa, and the Sanchahe, which has a good relationship.

The porcupine collar and Iron Valley are directly connected together by the sea.

The southeast part of the entire East Gorge has been connected into a network, extending in all directions, and if you want to develop deeper paintings to make money, you will inevitably go into the desert.

What's more, Li Qichen's 50 slaves in the high blood city in the desert can first liberate the poor people and gain freedom, and secondly, he can also gain a population of 50, which is a direct wave of fat.

It just so happened that he still remembered the invitation from Kool Oasis at that time. An extraordinary person was willing to pay 30 gold days for employment. Now there are 8 people around him, 240 gold days, which is already comparable to that of porcupine collar last year. 5 times the surplus.

If you drop by, you can do anything.

He secretly said: "It is said that gold is everywhere in the desert, I also want to be a gold miner and dig him twice."

No one in the whole team has ever been to the desert.

Li Qi had been to the edge of the desert in his previous life, and he had lined up with camels during his holidays, but this was the first time in his life.

No one else in the team has traveled so far.

Needless to say, ghouls are already dead, and no one cares about their feelings.

"It would be great if I brought Crowe Camel here, maybe I can have an extra local guide."

He also thought of the desert nobles who lived for free in his own territory. It cannot be said that they were free, and the other party was also a valuable teacher. I don't have much ability, and almost none of them are willing to teach others to read and write. Everyone has great ambitions. They just want to follow a group of people to direct things and run, but they absolutely don't want to waste energy as a teacher.

After crossing the Bangta Canyon, the world really changed.

Suddenly a gust of wind and sand blows over, and the team immediately "peh peh" non-stop.

The sand is hidden in the wind, and it is dry and astringent when you eat it. When you open your mouth and spit it out, you may accidentally eat more.

Those who were unlucky had sand in their noses, clothes, and eyes, and that was really painful.

After walking for a long time, everyone gained experience and took out some old clothes from the luggage to cover their mouths and faces, otherwise they would be full without eating today.

sunset.

The post station with smoke from the kitchen finally appeared in front of everyone, and there was a small tributary.

Trevor, the four-handed mercenary, had rushed over and splashed water on his face.

The small tributary is only as deep as the calf and less than 10 feet wide. If there is no reservoir further away, it will dry out in one day.

Water is indeed living water.

Li Qi looked at the post station and guessed that the water flow should be stopped inside, and what came out was the overflow.

More than a dozen houses are connected to the city. It is better to say that it is a small village than a post station.

If the economy of the Bangta Commercial Road is really developed, it is normal for this place to develop.

There is also a group of people who don't live in the village, but set up tents outside. One or two horses are tied outside the tents, and a bonfire is lit, which makes Li Qi feel like he has changed the world.

As he looked at the group, here and there a few people looked at them.

When a strong team comes, it will always be daunting.

There was definitely no need for Li Qi to prepare for such issues as food and accommodation, and his subordinates took the initiative to discuss accommodation issues with the owner of the inn.

At night, when the sun sets, the temperature is also pulled away from the sand very quickly. The weather in June is still a bit chilly. It is not too cold, but compared with the sizzling and oily daytime, the change is so fast. It's very uncomfortable.

The team has been allocated, and the merchants and soldiers need to guard the goods brought on this trip.

There are not many goods, but almost all categories are available.

So they have to come in batches for meals and rest.

No one is really big enough to let the post station protect themselves well. If it is a fat sheep, maybe the post station will pull out its sword and work part-time as a desert robber when it turns around.

Li Qi took a seat in the station, surrounded by a row of extraordinary people.

Others couldn't see the Transcendent, but they knew that it was best not to provoke them from the heavy and sophisticated armor and weapons, especially when there was a man with four arms sitting on the other table.

He took a knife and gently cut open the roast leg of lamb in front of him.

He picked up the crispy slap pancakes that were baked on the side, and pinched them lightly with his fingers, and the crispy skin fell down with a clatter.

If you eat meat without garlic, the flavor will be reduced by half.

Baron Li Qi never cared about noble etiquette when eating, he ate potatoes and garlic.

The small pancake rolled meat was sandwiched with garlic, and he lowered his head and took a bite.

Fragrant!
"Just for this one bite, I didn't come to this place in vain!" He couldn't help but sigh.

Even if you train a group of chefs yourself, it is not as good as going to a distant place to eat an authentic home-cooked meal.

While eating happily, a figure came, with a hot smell like sand.

Li Qi turned his head and looked, it was a tall woman, her skin was slightly darkened by the sun, but her facial features were correct, unlike the nobleness of women in Dongxia, on the contrary, she had a bit of unspeakable charm.

Simply put, it is the atmosphere.

She is the proprietress of the inn, responsible for pouring wine and water.

"My lord, this is our Bonta wine."

She bent down to pour the wine, and she didn't know if it was intentional or not. The open collar was facing Li Qi, and the clothes happened to be very spacious. This bending down also allowed Li Qi to see clearly the two native Bonta white melon.

Shaky, wobbly, wobbly.

The woman raised her head and met Li Qi's gaze.

Li Qi didn't realize that there was something wrong with his eyesight. People were willing to show him, but if he didn't see it, he would lose face.

What matters is a person who walks upright and sits upright.

He didn't feel any pity when the proprietress straightened her waist.

"Okay, I'll try it"

Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Li Qi nodded slightly: "The taste is really good, how much is a bottle?"

"1 Silver Moons"

Well, you are a vegetarian and meat price!
The wine was indeed not bad, but Li Qi ate good meat and drank good wine all day long, so of course he could tell that it was water mixed with wine.

Li Qi waved his hand: "I'm not used to this wine."

He will never pursue premium products, and what Porcupine is most concerned about is cost performance.

It takes a lot of effort to rob other people's property by yourself, and your own money does not come from strong winds.

The woman turned around with a smile, the smile on her face disappeared immediately, she didn't dare to speak but she couldn't help but curse a few words in her heart.

Li Qi doesn't doubt that he can really eat meat dishes by spending a little more money, but the cost price is not right. Yi Yinyue is at his old neighbor's place, and he can play more expensively, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed.

While eating, there was suddenly shouting and cursing outside.

There was the neighing of horses, and many people were making noise.

Then two people came in, and one of them took off his hat when he entered the door, revealing a bald head and a face full of flesh.

Li Qi noticed the stick in his other hand.

High blood city slave master!

The slave owner turned his head and shouted at the door: "Watch out for the cage, don't let those two bastards escape!"

"Yes!" came a reply from outside.

Then there was the sound of a stick hitting an iron cage.

The two slave owners glanced at Li Qi and the tables next to him, knowing that they met the nobleman, they took the initiative to sit in the corner and waved to the proprietress: "Eat and wine!"

"Yes~" The proprietress walked over with her hips twisted, and Li Qi wondered if she would have a herniated disc when she got older with her walking posture.

"Snapped!"

The bald head slapped the proprietress' buttocks and rubbed them hard.

The proprietress exclaimed, and hurriedly dodged away, but she still had a smile on her face. After putting down the food, she turned and left, but judging from her expression, she knew that the price of this meal must be raised, and the buttocks were not touched casually.

Li Qi listened quietly to the chat of the two slave owners. Although their voices were very low, they couldn't hide any information from Li Qi's extraordinary hearing.

"I'd say kill those two bastards! Kill so many of us and lose more than 30 slaves."

"What's the use of killing? It's better to sell it to the arena to fight to the death. Don't they say they are wandering knights? Knights can sell a dozen silver moons without saying anything."

"Hey, that's right, you can't make it easy for those two bastards!"

"Fuck, this wine is mixed with water! Extraordinary!"
