The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 59 A smooth journey home
  "There are many ways to identify the direction in the wilderness. One is to look at the sky. For example, it is daytime, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Then your right hand points to the east and your left hand points to the west. You face The direction towards it is north, and the direction away from it is south.”

"Of course, at night, you need to find the position of the brightest star in the sky. That star is easy to identify. Basically, as long as it appears in the starry sky, it will naturally take away the brilliance of other stars. It is called the brilliance. Star. The bright star is always in the eastern sky. As long as you find it..."

After spending 15 gold coins to invite this guide, Allen did not intend to just let him guide him. Instead, he took the time to ask him about various common sense in the wilderness, such as various methods of identifying directions and identifying directions in the desert. Route methods, how to find water sources, etc. Without inheritance and knowledge, the people of the Green Field Tribe can only stick to their familiar territory and dare not venture out easily. How can they make progress!

Although Allen doesn't understand these principles, his subconscious desire to pursue knowledge has allowed him to invisibly help the tribe bring the foundation for exploring the future, but he doesn't understand it yet.

"Oh, that's what it is!"

Allen nodded his head as if he was suddenly enlightened.

On a map like a desert where the terrain changes all the time, it is completely useless to just memorize some terrain as memory coordinates. Maybe a big rock that was exposed to the sand and dust a few days ago will be buried by the sand blown by the strong wind in a few days. You can't find a trace at all. However, through magical means such as the magic of the Faerun plane, some coordinates can be artificially created. The effect may not be too long, but it is enough for a short-term round trip team.

For the sake of 15 gold coins, Goblin Jack did not hide his secrets. He taught Allen the experience he had worked hard to learn and the field skills he had stolen from other adventurers one by one, which made Allen gain a lot. .

While passing through the Tagan Desert, the team was scattered and encountered some troubles. The lizard people, snake people and other intelligent creatures living in the desert, as well as the unique beasts and insects of the desert, etc., all caused some damage to the team. Fortunately, Allen dealt with it well. With Jack on hand to help guide them, the team made it through the desert most of the way, with only a few close calls.

"Notice!!"

Suddenly, in the cloudless sky, huge phantoms suddenly appeared. There were people in all kinds of strange clothes passing through the phantoms, just like a dream castle built in the void. Everyone in the team was stunned. The goblins were stunned, while Allen sounded the alarm solemnly, and at the same time drew the giant sword from behind.

This phantom appeared without any warning, and it seemed that there was no danger. However, in the eyes of Allen, who considered himself to be sensitive, it was an incredible thing. If this void city is truly hostile to Allen and the others and appears directly around them to launch an offensive, Allen feels that it will be difficult to resist.

"It's nothing, it's just a sand mirage illusion. These are just false things."

When the other goblins were greeted by Allen and hurriedly picked up their weapons and prepared to fight, Jack, the goblin at the front, looked unsurprised and gave an explanation.

"It is said that under the sand dunes of the Tagan Desert, there lives a kind of magical beast - the sand mirage. On weekdays, they always hide and hibernate under the sand dunes, but when they wake up to look for food, they will open their double shells and spit out a kind of mirage gas. , shrouded around the sand dunes where he lives, creating a magical world in which to hunt his prey.”

"Although we seem to be just a stone's throw away from the illusion right now, in fact it will take at least two or three days to reach the land of illusion."

"Oh."

Allen put away his weapon angrily, looked up at the magical illusion again, and once again turned into a hundred thousand whys.

"Then you tell me, did this illusion ever really exist?" The scene in the void is strange and bizarre. Many of the creatures in it can't even be named by Allen, but judging from their rich clothes and exquisite accessories, they are It was a more prosperous place than Thorn Castle, and Allen naturally felt envious of it.

"Well, I don't know what's going on."

Jack shook his head, unable to give an answer. Seeing this, Alan turned to Phillip on the other side.

"...I have seen a statement written by a traveler in a book, saying that the illusions released by monsters such as sand mirages and sea mirages are based on things they have seen in their lives, such as this scene. The illusion may be the city built by the Tagan Desert civilization in ancient times."

"It is said that in ancient times, the Mansha Wilderness was not the barren scene it is today, but a prosperous and advanced civilized society. Even the several civilizations in the two continents of the wilderness were affected by it to some extent. Look at that skin-like creature The alien race of crystals should be the extinct crystal people; and the alien race with a cluster of red flowers on their heads and blooming branches should be the flower spirits that have also been extinct for thousands of years."

Philip's face was full of reverie and intoxication, and he greedily wanted to imprint the miracle in front of him in his mind as spiritual food for future aftertaste.

"I see."

After receiving the explanation, Allen saw that the virtual image turned out to be not a real scene. After Future Night had no chance to contact it, he naturally lost interest in continuing to ask questions.

"Dashan, watch the few lone guys behind, don't let them run around!!"

"Ah, okay."

Dashan gave up pestering the female hobgoblin beside him and ran back, pushing and dragging a few wandering goblins back into the team.

"Climb over the sand dunes ahead and find a place to camp and rest!!"

Seeing that everyone's expressions were getting tired, Allen looked up and looked at the scorching sun hanging 2-3 minutes above the western horizon. One sentence immediately made the members of the team cheer.

The human slaves and goblins dragged the vehicle forward with difficulty. Every few steps, they had to lift the wheels that were sunk in the sand and put them back on the sand. When they passed through the sand dunes mentioned by Allen, , the sun that was originally hanging in the sky has fallen below the horizon, and darkness is about to cover this land.

After finding a place leeward, there was a big mountain. Hua She and the others skillfully directed the members to set up camp around several vehicles. Allen stood high on the sand dune, overlooking the entire sand dune.

The hot temperature gradually dissipated, and the gentle breeze brought fine dust flying in the sky. Allen sat down on the sand dune, took off his leather boots, and shook off the dust. In the peripheral vision, a black spot seemed to appear in the khaki sand dunes in the distance, slowly moving towards the location of his team.
