Chapter 46 Desolate Land

Previous review: Ning Chen accidentally saved a mother and daughter when he passed by Shizhua Mountain and sent them to the periphery of the destination Shizhua Peak, but the mother and daughter still died. Everything seemed to be accidental, and Ning Chen was unknowingly walking on the road to rescue the light wind.

=============================Separator=============================

Farewell to the little cotton mother and daughter, Ning Chen and his party crossed the mountains and rivers all the way, walked through the path next to the dark lake, through the coke valley where the eagle-body banshee was coiled, and stepped on the ground of the desolate land.

If the color of Shizhua Mountain is dark red, then the whole desolate place is gray-white.

Standing on the gray-white ground full of gravel, the sky is gray-blue, and the white clouds are not like a piece of melted cream, but smeared in the gray-blue sky. The sun is no longer golden. It is bright and bright, hanging a little higher on the horizon, lazily shining on the ground under its feet. .

On the ground a little far away, several dead bones of giant beasts are on the ground, like ghost claws in the depths of the earth. The whole surface is uneven, basically in a semi-desert state. Occasionally, you can see a few rocky mountain bags blocking Ning Chen's sight.

This is a desolate place.

unfold the parchment again, which says that five days later, there are still two and a half days before this deadline. Ning Chen is calculating what to do in these two and a half days.

This is really a veritable desolate place. The soil is dry and seriously desertified. Ning Chen can hardly imagine that there are so many creatures living here.

In fact, don't look at the harsh environment here. The living species are really old and young. The vultures flying in the sky, the gills running on the ground, and the thunder lizards spitting lightning from time to time can also be seen. Many wild Kodo beasts also regard this place as a paradise. Compared with them, the old Kodo is really old.

"What a dark world." The shadow burial looked here as he walked.

"There are still bones everywhere." Ning Chen looked at the bones of unknown animals scattered on the ground and said.

"Where is Sutherris Beach?" Old Kodo gasped while walking. He really took a lot of effort in the battle these days.

The shadow funeral and Ning Chen both shook their heads and never came here.

"Ask for directions!" Ning Chen set up a pergola with his hand and looked around. In this wilderness, in addition to wandering beasts and crazily running centaurs, he could not see few people who could ask for directions.

"Let me go." As the shadow buried her, she ran into the field beside the road, and soon she came back wagging her tail.

"We need to go straight south, pass a large Kodo cemetery and then go west along the road, about 700 miles away from here." Ying Bu licked his tongue and said, "If we go faster, we will be there soon."

Ning Chen nodded and familiarize himself with the terrain early, which is of great help to the rescue.

They are now located at the northernmost entrance of the whole desolate land, while the location agreed by the other party and Ning Chen is in the southwest corner of the desolate land. Ning Chen is thinking about how to finish these 700 miles in the shortest time.

There are many forces in the desolate land. There are five centaurids. In fact, the centaurids civilization is also the local iconic culture of the desolate land. Both alliances and tribes are only away from home, but away from home does not mean that they can't exercise their rights here.

Late at night, they came to a huge pit, which was so huge that they could not be seen at a glance. There was a low mountain next to the pit, and the lights on the top of the mountain were shining. It was the camp of the Tauren in the desolate land.

When approaching the deep pit, Old Kodo was very uneasy and even a little melancholy. He stood in front of the pit and refused to move.

"What's wrong?" Ning Chen asked it.

Just in the moonlight, everyone saw tears flowing from the corners of Lao Kodo's eyes, and it uneasily dug the ground: "This will be the place where my bones are buried..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ning Chen scolded.

"Really, Ning Chen." Old Kodo has never talked to Ning Chen so seriously and solemnly.

A kind of uneasiness of life and death hit his heart. Ning Chen reached out and stroked Lao Keduo's rough and hard skin, and his legs were still tied with bloody bandages.

"Does it hurt?" Ning Chen asked.

Old Kodo shook his head and gasped: "My friends, the fate of Old Kodo and you may end here." Its tail kept shaking and patting the mosquitoes and flies on its body.

This deep pit is the cemetery of Kodo beasts, that is, the place where the bones are buried in Lao Keduo's mouth. Many Keduo beasts, whether wild or domesticated, will travel thousands of miles here when they know it in their twilight years, just to seek the last peace of life. Now it's Lao Ke's turn.

"Ning Chen, I don't want to see you crying for me when I close my eyes." Old Kodo looked at a huge skeleton in the pit and said in a low voice.

Ning Chen didn't say anything, and his hand stroking Lao Kodo suddenly patted it heavily. Then he raised his hand and strode to the camp next to the cemetery, where he was going to stay overnight tonight.

The shadow funeral looked at Lao Kodo with a gloomy expression, and looked at Ning Chen's straight back and was at a loss.

"Do you really want to keep it?" Shadow burial has an indescribable sadness. For so long, she has been getting along with Lao Keduo day and night. Although she has often used her brains to eat its meat, there is more and more inexplicable feelings spreading. She believes that Ning Chen is also do the same.

"It's better..." Ning Chen whispered, "After all, the old man has lived for a long time and probably knows how long his life is."

Ghost sentry.

This is the only stop for tauren people in the desolate land, and the person in charge is Gilda Mane, an experienced veteran.

Ning Chen once came here when playing games. At that time, he felt that there were quite a lot of NPCs, but after being there, he found that there were only two people in this station. One was Gilda, who was in charge, and the other was Gilda's deputy and handyman. There was only one tent in the whole sentry. When Ning Chen stood at the door for accommodation, Gilda patrolled the whole cemetery.

The scarred old tauroy warrior didn't say much, but it felt generous and reliable for Ning Chen. He opened the curtain without saying a word and let the three uninvited guests into the tent. His assistant was already asleep. The stove was lit on the ground. There was an iron pot sitting on the stove, and the pot was boiling barley tea. Gilda gave Ning Chen poured a cup of tea and asked him to sit down.

"I know you." Gilda said.

The night in the desolate place is also cold. Ning Chen was moved with a cup of hot tea in his hand. Suddenly, he heard the other party say this and couldn't help but be stunned: "Do you know me?"

Gilda glanced at the pillar in the middle of the tent, where there was a notice, which looked more like a wanted notice.

The wanted notice is written in taurman and elf language: A wanted taurman (name unknown), male, Jack, a woman suspected of murdering human man, Ruth, and her daughter's little cotton family of three. The means are cruel and the circumstances are bad. It is hereby wanted. I hope that all those who know it will publicize the jurisdiction as soon as possible. Official report. Attachment: Niel Outpost, the contact place of the sheriff in the desolate land.

The wanted notice was written with a rigid and eye-catching portrait of Ning Chen. The portrait was tender and unexpectedly came from the hands of small cotton. Ning Chen's heart sank. In his hand, the hot tea splashed out and burned himself. He put down the teacup and blew the hot red and swollen place while thinking about the end. What's going on?

"It doesn't matter. Are we a tribe?" Gilda said, "They are already at home, but the desolate place is a little special. We still have a cooperative relationship with the night elves stationed here, so they sent the notice here. You can rest here for one night. I don't think I've seen you." Gilda stood up and walked to her bed. She fell on ** without taking off her clothes, and soon snored evenly.

"What is that?" Shadow burial asked curiously.

"Wanted notice." Ning Chen said, "The little cotton is dead."

Little cotton is still dead. Ning Chen stared at the crackling wood and silently. He couldn't figure out some things. He couldn't figure it out if he wanted to break his head. Was it the men in black who killed them? If it were him, then the little cotton and her mother's body should not be found by the night elves. If it weren't for the man in black, who else would there be? He did this to such a mother and daughter. You know, he almost sent them to the destination at that time, where there were no beasts.

"Young man, wake up!" Ning Chen woke up in his sleep and found that he had been sitting and sleeping like that last night. Gilda handed him a piece of ham bread. "It's almost dawn. You can go after breakfast. After staying here for a long time, you will let the elves know that those heart-hearted and quick-mouthed elves can spread the news quickly."

Ning Chen smiled gratefully at him and opened his mouth to ask him something, but found that he seemed to know nothing and knew everything, so he gave up.

After breakfast, Ning Chen continued to drive with the shadow burial and small stones. Starting from here, the road turned west and went straight down to reach the agreed beach. On the beach, there was also a troll village - Funeral Village.

Gilda explained to him that because the tauren and night elves have their own tasks in the desolate land, they usually get along well with each other and even help each other sometimes. Therefore, it is very likely that even the Funeral Shadow Village has his wanted notice, telling him to be careful along the way. Once found, it will make the whole desolate. The political situation of the land has changed. The tribe will not watch its members be captured or even killed, and the alliance will never let go of a known murderer, which may be the introduction of a war between another tribe and the alliance.

The sun roasted the ground, and the seaside was windy and waves. The waves beat on the reef and made a loud noise. Ningchen arrived at the seaside one day earlier than agreed. He carefully observed the terrain and found that the other party was very good at choosing a trading place. The terrain here was flat and stood on the beach and looked around. There is no room to see. Except for a cliff not far away, there is no protruding place. At that time, it will still be in the weak position of the enemy.

Suddenly, a noisy voice came from the depths of his mind. The sound seemed to be a long pair of hands, constantly tearing Ning Chen's heart. He covered his head and chest, and his expression was painful. The shadow buried him was frightened. He kept turning around him and asked her to hunt. She is very powerful, but it's far from requiring her to help Ning Chen see his illness.

The voice was intermittent and unclear, but Ning Chen felt that his heart was about to be pulled out of it, and it was very uncomfortable to tear his body.

This situation lasted for about a minute, and then dissipated by itself. He touched his head. Ning Chen remembered the terrible helmet incident and broke out in a cold sweat. Emily once said that the helmet would control people's minds. Shouldn't she be under control?

"Hey!" A voice came from afar, "Who are you over there?" It was the patrolmen of Funeral Village, but it turned out that the beach was under their jurisdiction, and the other party chose such a place to trade, which was really rampant.
