A Delicious and Flammable Backlands Tour

Soon, the two guys in shabby clothes were picked out by Xieyan in Xia Zhi's field of vision.

"Master, what should we do? Do you want me to hypnotize them?" The Xieyan's power has been greatly reduced now, and it feels that it can't erase these two sneaky people, so it lets Xia Zhi decide.

"Let them sleep for a while. Do the same when new people come along."

Xia Zhi suddenly remembered something and smiled.

"By the way, give me the most valuable thing in their purse."

"Eh? What's the point of that?" Xieyan wondered.

"You just do as you want." Xia Zhi put it off.

The evil eye floated over the two of them silently, and after a slight thought force, their eyes became hollow.

Xieyan controlled the two guys to deliberately collide in the street, as if knocking each other unconscious.Afterwards, it took away the purses of the two guys and returned to Xia Zhi.

"Master, the item is here!"

"I didn't ask you to bring them all, remember to send them back later."

Xia Zhi opened the purse speechlessly, and began to examine the contents.In addition to some common currency, there is also a talisman made of shells.Looking at the carving above, it should be the logo of an organization in this oasis.

"Sure enough, such a quick response...it seems like a local snake who wants to come over to find out." Xia Zhi put the things back and motioned for Xieyan to send them back.

After Xieyan finished executing the order, Xia Zhi quickly left here and walked towards the market.

"Master, those two guys were carried away."

When Xieyan finally paid attention to that side, the two unlucky people following him also disappeared.

"It's normal. This kind of underground organization is very cautious. I'm still an adventurer with a warrior level."

Xia Zhi pointed to the platinum sword Katia gave her.

"When they see this, they know that I'm not easy to deal with. So they won't just send two people over to spy on me."

"Wouldn't it be better if we pretended not to know?"

"Aren't I pretending not to know now?"

Xia Zhi squatted down in front of a vendor, and began to play with the shells placed in front of the vendor.

"I didn't go there in person, just to let them retreat. As long as their leader is not a fool, he won't come here to mess with me."

The shell in his hand could vaguely sense a coolness.If it is a shell buried in the sand all the year round, the first impression should be dry and haggard.

"I'll take this, and these. Well, that's it."

Xia Zhi randomly picked some shells and some shiny stones.In the eyes of outsiders, it looks like an inexperienced rich young master squandering the money in his hands.Immediately, some vendors planned to go to Xia Zhi to sell their products.

"Haha, I'm quite picky about my shells. If you all have dead objects without water vapor, don't come to me."

Xia Zhi waved his hand, rejecting these people.At the same time, he tried to find out if there was any way to find live shellfish in this desert.

It's a pity that most of these vendors are resellers or scavengers. Where can I find the requirements of the summer solstice.If you can find undried shells, it is already burning high incense.

With a sigh, they returned to their seats and waited for the next guest to appear.

Xia Zhi played with the shells and left the market.

Not long after he left, a teenager also quickly put away the booth and left the scene.

"I like shells...Suspected to be looking for a new water source..."

He muttered to himself.

NO.724 Goddess of the forest: do it yourself

Xia Zhi walked towards the hotel.He managed to meet up with Katia by looking for the caravan's carriage.

"Mr. Xia Zhi, we have already organized and are preparing to invite you for dinner."

Katya beckoned to him, ushered him into an inn, and pointed out the room allotted to him.

"If you need anything, you can always ask us."

Judging by this girl's posture, it seems that she intends to stay alone?

Xia Zhi asked.

"Aren't you going to participate?"

"For me... just wear it in the car."

Katya looked out the window bitterly.It was about an hour before it was completely dark.If she can't overcome the curse of werewolfization, going out rashly will only cause trouble for the team.

"Ok."

Xia Zhi didn't continue to mention this matter, he handed the shells he bought to Katia.

"I went to buy some small items, what do you think?"

"I think you're wasting your money."

Katya slapped his hand away angrily.

"This kind of shell is used by unscrupulous traders to deceive foreigners who come here for the first time."

"You mean to say——I was tricked?" Xia Zhi made a dazed look.

"I think so."

"Ah, if it wasn't for someone following them, I would definitely kick them hard." Master Xia made an angry look. "It's my head to cheat money!"

"Is someone following you?"

The girl's attention was attracted, and her eyes gradually became sharper.She thinks that Xia Zhi didn't mention it unintentionally, but deliberately said it for herself.According to her estimation of the guy in front of her, this guy is definitely the vanguard of trouble.

So, the girl was silent for a few seconds, and asked Xia Zhi with a fluke mentality.

"Those two people, you didn't do anything to them, did you?"

"I sank them into the lake in the oasis."

Katya's face paled for a moment.

"...Haha, I'm just kidding, don't be nervous. I used some tricks to get money bags from them, just to check their identities."

Xia Zhi waved his hand.

"Are you afraid of those people?"

"I'm not afraid of those people, but I'm afraid of offending the owner of this oasis."

Katya glared at Xia Zhi angrily, but unfortunately her aura could only scare ordinary people, it was useless to a seasoned veteran like Xia Zhi.

"That's strange." Xia Zhi rubbed his chin. "I thought the oasis was decided by the traveling merchants."

"We don't count. There are few oases in the desert, and whoever occupies the oasis has the final say. This oasis was first occupied by a group of guys who called themselves the people of water. Later, more and more people came. That’s how it developed into the town it is today.”

Katya recalled the legend handed down from her father's generation and warned the summer solstice.

"It is said that these guys will get angry because the central lake is polluted, and even kill the travelers passing by. You can take the water source, but you must not jump into the water to swim, or throw others down!"

"Yes, yes, I know."

Xia Zhi was careless, halfway through hearing it, he suspected that it was just a lie fabricated by the predecessors to protect the water source.However, so many new monsters have appeared in this world, who can tell if these people of water are one of them!

Seeing that Xia Zhi's attitude was quite cooperative, Katia was relieved.These small gangs can bully good people, but they are not in the eyes of caravans like them.She persuaded Xia Zhi not to go out today, maybe those hooligans will get entangled with their party and come out to take revenge.

The best solution is to do one thing more than one thing less. If you leave the town tomorrow, those sneaky guys will naturally not catch up.

"Okay." Seeing that Katya's nerves were tense, Xia Zhi waved her hands amusedly. "Then I'll rest after dinner."

"Good night, Mr. Xia Zhi."

……

After a simple dinner, Xia Zhi returned to her room.

Katya treated him very well and specially got him a single room.But it was precisely because of this generous treatment that Xia Zhi had an awkward relationship with the other men in the caravan, and he couldn't even get information during the meal.Master Xia was annoyed by the unfavorable start of the tavern.

"I feel that I have been separated from the people and embarked on a road of no return."

"Why is this happening, don't you have any points in your mind?"

The evil eyes floated out again, criticizing mercilessly.

"If it wasn't for your swordsmanship that really calmed them down, someone would definitely stand up and say that you are a charlatan!"

"Hey, why are you suddenly so brave now?"

Gritting her teeth, Xia Zhi grabbed Xieyan and began to knead it.

"Let me see!?"

"Master don't want it, master don't want it!"

Just as these two guys were wasting time, the system Ji who had been silent for a long time finally gave a "ding", indicating that he had started working.

Xia Zhi checked the time, it was exactly twelve o'clock.From the bug to the recovery, it took almost two days.

With tears in his eyes, he opened the player panel.

"It's not easy! Let me see what kind of assistance Flora has given me."

A three-piece set of copper dagger, axe, and pickaxe was attached to the system mail.But still the same sentence, from the accident to the current support, almost two days have passed.

Xia Zhi silently threw the three copper utensils into the trash can.If he really counted on this rescue, he would be dead by now.

Also in the mail is a set of tool tables, furnaces and iron ingots.

"Hehe, what else can I say?"

Master Xia looked at the repeated utensils in his backpack, and threw the things sent by the forest goddess into the trash can with no expression on his face.

If you procrastinate, you procrastinate.

Why don't you come here after you finish hammering the first boss?

"Master, don't count on that bitch! Only we can save you!"

Xieyan is quite proud.It wasn't your Forest Goddess who made Xia Zhi find the first treasure chest and get out of trouble, it was my evil eye!

"While going, I still need to read the letter."

Xia Zhi threw her evil eyes to the pillow behind her, while continuing to flip through the letter.

The last item of the letter seemed to occupy a lot of space in this post, Xia Zhi could only wait slowly for System Ji to spit it out.

"Oh oh oh, did she send me the Blade of Terra!?"

I'm not greedy, I don't need Zenith Sword.As long as you have a Terra sword, you can do whatever you want at this stage.

If it really doesn't work... Wrath of the Stars and Enchanted Sword are also possible!

Xia Zhi excitedly rubbed his hands.A crack appeared in the space in front of him, something fell out and landed on the small table in front of him.

It was a dish of water candles.

Xia Zhi took a deep breath, and overturned the small table and the water candle to the ground.

"...I'm cheating! You still think I didn't die fast enough!!"

"Master, calm down. It just looks alike, but it is completely different from a water candle!" Seeing Xia Zhi was very annoyed, Xieyan hurriedly comforted him.

After it said this, Xia Zhi realized that the "water candle" in front of him was really unusual.For normal water candles, the wick in the center is lit with a cool blue flame.But the candle in my hand is different, the color it emits is more blue, and the central part of the flame is even more transparent.
