Chapter 330 Pot Worm
"Lack of water? How can there be a lack of water? These people can live here, and they still don't die of thirst?" Li Yan said.

"Patriarch, they don't have much water here," Sabah said.

Li Yan simply ignored Sabah, then looked at an old man in front of him, and asked, "Where do you get the water you usually drink?"

"Here, Patriarch, follow me"

The old man hurriedly led Li Yan towards the back of the village.

Pass through the mud houses and come to the second half of the oasis. The terrain here is relatively low, but it is full of potatoes and corn. Basically, all the places where crops can be grown are planted, but the outermost land is very dry, only sparse date palms.

The old man took Li Yan to the middle of the vegetable field, and saw a hole with a diameter of more than one meter. The hole was red and rumbling, and the water depth was three meters.

"Tick!" "Tick!" "Tick!"

There was also the sound of falling water.

And in the potato vine next to the well, there are still many rough pottery in the shape of a vase with missing corners. It is estimated that the tribal people used these broken pottery for irrigation.

"Patriarch, we all use the water here to drink. A long time ago, some clans came to dig this puddle, and our ancestors settled here." The old man looked at Li Yan and said.

"Clan?" Li Yan thought for a while, looked at the burrow, and asked, "How did that clan dig this burrow?"

The edge and direction of the burrow are very smooth, and it doesn't seem to be natural.

"Sandworm, I heard they used sandworms to dig." The old man said, his expression was a little excited.

"Sandworm?" Li Yan thought about it.

"Patriarch, sand worms are death worms. This death worm stays in the ground and is good at digging. Many tribes use death worms to dig stones and pits." Sabah hurried forward and said.

"Well, let's tame these death worms, is there any problem?" Li Yan looked at Sabah and said.

"This kind of worm is very powerful, but if you are the patriarch, it should be no problem." Sabah nodded.

Li Yan and his team inspected a total of more than 50 oases under the management of the Sabah and Haisha tribes. According to a rough estimate, the population of this group is about 2000 people. Adding the Haisha tribe and the Sabah tribe, the total population is 4000.

Li Yan ordered Haiba to manage this group of people, elect a village head each, and send some soldiers and beasts to stay in each village and defend the villages. At the same time, divide the workers and peasants and gather some skilled people , specializing in the production of tools, selling money to increase income.

Li Yan and Sabah led their tribe to tame the death worm.

There were more than 30 people in the group, each riding a beast. In the beast team, an Oxosaurus was the main beast, the rest were hump beasts and camels for water storage, and there were two giant praying mantises.

Li Yan drove a Bactrian camel and led the team. The desert is very hot, some of the sand is very dark brown, and many cacti can be seen along the way.

Unknowingly, everyone came to a cactus bush. The cacti here are all kinds of strange things. Some cacti are very strong, tens of meters high, and some cacti are like a clump of weeds, with leaves on them and many flowers blooming. , there are still many cacti bearing red fruits, which are very tempting.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

When the team came here, a large group of vultures with a wingspan of 1.5 meters suddenly passed by in the sky. It turned out that there were some vultures nesting on tall cactus, and many vulture mothers were lying in their nests, quietly staring at the intruder.

"This is the edge of the Scorched Earth, we will pass through here and find the Death Worm soon," Sabah said.

"Oh? The last time we left the oasis of Berry, didn't you find a large group of death worms?" Li Yan couldn't help asking.

"Hey, patriarch, I sent someone to look there before, and found that all the death worms there were gone, it seems that they were all killed." Sabah said.

"Oh? Who did that?" Li Yan asked.

"I heard that people from the Karu tribe did it. It's strange to say that the Karui tribe is weaker than us. How could they kill so many death worms?" Shaba scratched his head and said.

"The current Kalu tribe is stronger than our Jiang tribe, and can even shake the status of the Alabas tribe!" Li Yan recalled.

"How could it be that there are only a few hundred people in the Karu tribe?" Sabah said puzzled.

"That's true, but I have to find a way to make our Jiang tribe stronger." Li Yan said, looking at the tired beast team, he said: "It's getting late, we will camp here, tomorrow morning Go catch the death worm!"

"Yes!"

A group of people stopped at a place with the back of a cactus bush and started camping. Some tribesmen went nearby to collect cactus fruits. Before it got dark, Li Yan decided to walk around.

So he took a spear and patrolled around the camp with Sabah.

This area is desert, the ground is full of reddish-brown sand, many cacti have broken out from the depths of the sand, and on the nearby tall cactus, there are many vultures roaring "chirp", as if warning visitors .

At this time, on top of a cactus bush in front, there were suddenly several half-human-sized giant beetles flying. The bodies of those beetles were like a huge shell sac shaped like a flat peach. When flying, their wings flapped loudly. noisy.

The bodies of those beetles have two colors, one is blue and the other is red. Their bodies seem to be hard and bulging, as if there is something inside them.

"What is that?" Li Yan pointed to those beetles and asked others.

"Patriarch Hui, those are pot worms, they cannot be tamed," Sabah said.

"Really?" Li Yan looked at those beetles.

"Patriarch, that kind of pot worm is still very useful. The shell of the red pot worm is filled with a lot of black water. The black water can burn, and it burns very badly. And those blue pot worms have a lot of water in their bodies. The most important thing is clear water, which is drinkable, just like ordinary water," Sabah said.

"Burning black water? And clear water?" Li Yan couldn't help being interested.

After finishing speaking, he took out a second-level slingshot and a bag of stone bullets from the prismatic gemstone on his wrist.

And Sabah also took out his slingshot and followed Li Yan to approach those pot worms.

puff!puff!puff!
The two pulled the slingshot continuously and shot down several pot worms one after another, a total of four red pot worms and one blue pot worm.

The shells of these potworms are very round and huge, with a diameter of up to one meter, like a huge snail shell, but they look very beautiful.

The two moved the pot worms back to the camp. At this time, the tribesmen also set up the camp and even prepared to eat.
