Chapter 69 Red Mill
The scorching sun is in the endless desert, and the wind brings up from the ground as if it can evaporate all the heat. The repeated similar scenes in front of us make people tired and irritable at the same time.
Because the demon horse can't withstand such a high temperature for a long time, Wang Yue has to buy a sand camel. The head is like an ostrich. It looks like a camel, but it is smaller and more flexible than a camel. It is also better at running. It has a structure similar to fins on the soles of its feet, and it will not be too bumpy in order to walk on the sand.
But even so, Wang Yue was still turned upside down, and it felt like the internal organs were about to be spit out. According to Ouyang Hongye's instructions, after leaving Wangcheng, he went to an intelligence stronghold outside Dongyao City and saw Sanmu there.
A large number of rat demons under Sanmu looked for places where Qingyun might hide in the demon world, and then he summarized it and handed over the information to Dong Muya for analysis through the thorns. Under her analysis, the clue was pointed to Chimir, the City of Fire. As soon as Wang Yue got the news from Sanmu, he immediately went all the way west to there.
Perhaps during this period of time, Ouyang Hongye and others have always been accompanied by him. The journey alone actually made him a little unaccustomed. He was somewhat wronged in his heart. As the head of the rabbit demon family, he was regarded as a traitor by the world, which cast a shadow on the position of prince inherited from his brother Tingyue. But at this moment, he must grit his teeth and be patient. The death of his brother and the grievances he bears are all thanks to Qingyun. Only when he finds his hiding place can he have a chance to take revenge.
When it was close to Chimir, the number of lone travelers and motorcades gradually increased. These people came for Sha Jinmu. Many of them were not the first time to come here, and Wang Yue, who had already disguised himself, also mixed in to talk with them.
He controlled his ** sand camel beast to get close to a traveler, and then took out the wine pot from his arms. As soon as he unscrewed the lid, the aroma of wine overflowed from the pot and swallowed the traveler who had been in the desert for several days and nights. He pushed the boat along the water and handed the wine pot to the traveler. It was a goat demon with long horns on his head. He had a moustache on his jaw that would move up and down when he spoke. Judging from his clothes, his identity should be relatively low.
"Is this brother also the first time to come to Chimir?" Wang Yue asked.
"Ah? This is the third time I've been here!"
The end of the man's speech was always a little sheep, which made Wang Yue want to laugh, but she had to help but continue to ask, "Then you should be quite familiar with this place. I'm new here, and I want to ask you more advice!"
The goat demon just drank a few mouthfuls of wine and was in a good mood. He answered with a smile, "As the saying goes, all brothers all over the world come to search for gold. There is no need to be polite!" If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me. As long as I know, I won't hide it from you!"
"My name is Wutong! Brother, how about you?" Wang Yue thought that it was inconvenient for her to sign up her real name, so she casually made up one.
"It doesn't matter if I don't say my name, everyone calls me Laoyang!" The sheep demon took another sip of wine, and then reluctantly handed the wine pot back to Wang Yue.
"What kind of place is this Chimir's dungeon? You are also familiar with each other, aren't you? After sacrificing so much good wine, Wang Yue has to go straight to the topic.
"That's a good place! You can see the unexpected women you can see there, especially those mermaid girls. If you are lucky enough to spend the Spring Festival together, it's really worth it!" The old sheep's face was a complexion, and his eyes also sparkled.
"That's good! When will you take my little brother to see it!" This is not what Wang Yue obviously wants to ask, but seeing how devoted he is, he can only agree.
"Haha, I'm so anxious for you. I'll take you there tonight!"
In this way, Wang Yue talked with the old sheep and entered the Chimir area, and the range of sight had already been filled with various flags.
"The place where there is a flag shows that the sand gold has been occupied by people. First come, first served is the rule here." The old sheep explained.
"Is there no one to manage it?" Wang Yue was a little strange. The owner of the Red Mill City was so generous that he did not restrict others from taking Shajin for himself from him.
"Ha ha, the reserves of sand gold can only be described as infinite. The fire lizard demon can't wait for so many free laborers to mine for him, and then contribute the proceeds to the prostitutes in the dungeon, because most of the money in the end is not in his pocket!"
"It's true!" After listening to the old sheep's explanation, Wang Yue also understood that the lizard was really smart.
He followed the old sheep into the dungeon and stayed in the hotel. According to him, he settled down the place first, and then they could start their gold rush the next day. The entrance of the dungeon is first equipped with an upward slope. From the slope is a wide white platform, which is like a desert oasis. The clear pond is full of tables and chairs, and palm trees are planted around the platform.
"Gold miners rest on this platform when they are tired during the day. They can drink clean water, of course, wine, and order some food." The old sheep said as he led the road left by the middle of the platform.
Sure enough, there are some gold miners sitting on the edge of the pond or eating, drinking or talking. They all look happy and red, enjoying their leisure time.
"This platform is really cleverly designed!" Wang Yue sighed.
"What's better, you haven't seen it yet!"
The old sheep pointed forward, and a downward ramp appeared at one end of the platform, and the slope was connected to the real entrance of the dungeon. Wangyue has never seen any still prosperous city as free as Chimir, and he doesn't even have a guard. No matter who he is, no matter what his status is, he can freely enter and leave, which makes him feel more or less at ease. After all, he is a fugitive with a felony.
He thought that it would be darker and darker as he went down, but what surprised him was that although the temperature dropped, the light did not decrease, but became softer. How to describe the world in front of you? Because the vault of this cave is extremely high, many buildings in the dungeon are as high as several floors. The top of the natural ore cave releases a crystal light in and out of the clear night sky, reflecting this endless, brightly lit city, flashing with strange colors.
The road in the city is very wide, and the sand camel beast can also walk freely in it. Wangyue walks into the city with the old sheep. There are all kinds of wind and moon places on both sides, and their vulgar or elegant names fill his eyes. Huaichun Pavilion, Fenghuayuan, Pinxian Hall, Jilengian Kingdom... Obviously, it's not yet their business time, so they are all locked, but it still reminds people that if they are at night, they are definitely males. A paradise for animals.
They passed through another shopping street. The old sheep told him that in addition to buying all the equipment needed for gold mining, he could also buy a lot of unexpected things. What was it, and he had to look for it by himself when he had time. Speaking of this, the old sheep deliberately smiled. It is far-reaching.
Finally, I walked to a hotel street, which was a little simple compared with those places. The old sheep led him around the back of the hotel street, where there was a wooden shed for rent to accommodate the sand camel beast. When the sand camel beast was placed, they could find the hotel.
"Doesn't the store care about the placement of sand camel beasts?" Wang Yue thinks that if there are hotels in other places where they can rest for free, they are not only charged, but also expensive.
"Shh, just keep this kind of dissatisfaction in your heart. Say it so loudly, be careful to take you to see the saporice soon!" The old sheep reminded in a low voice.
"Why?" Wang Yue asked, and he knew that the salamb was the name of the city owner fire lizard.
"Because there is no doorbar for gold diggers here, and no similar management fees or mining fees are charged, he will tell you that there is no free lunch in the world. This is destined to be a high-consumption place!" The old sheep shook his head and said.
They chose a relatively cheap hotel, saying that it was cheaper and more than ten times more expensive than the hotel in Wangcheng. After the two of them gave a deposit of gold to the yin and yang-faced owner of the hotel, they got a room.
The yin and yang face called a scorpion demon brother to salute and guide the way for Wang Yue and the old sheep. After the younger brother took them to the less spacious room on the second floor, he still lingered and did not want to leave. The old sheep skillfully took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and stuffed it for him.
He took it over and smiled and left happily. He said, "If you need to bathe and eat, the bath and restaurant are on the first floor! I wish you two have a good time during the day and have a better time at night!"
In fact, Wang Yue doesn't want to live in the same room with Lao Yang from the bottom of his heart, because he is here to look for Qingyun, not to realize any dream of gold panning. There must be many inconveniences for a person eating and sleeping with himself, but at this point, he has to make a plan.
In addition to two beds, there is only a table and a chair in the whole room. Looking out from the window at the end of the room, it is the direction of the shed where the sand camel beast is placed. From time to time, there is a stench. It can't be said that it is from groundwater or the excrement of the sand camel beast. Wang Yue couldn't help frowning when she heard it. I finally understand why this hotel is cheaper than anywhere else.
The old sheep didn't mind at all. He moved the salute to the wall, picked up the bed leaning inside and fell down, and said to Wang Yue, "Wake me up for dinner."
Then he snored evenly. Obviously, he was exhausted all the way. Wangyue looked at him, who was not on guard against himself as a stranger, but felt a little happy and grateful. Originally, he knew nothing about this city of flames, but with the old sheep, everything would be much easier. Is God helping him?
He piled up his bag on the side of the bed on the outside, and then lay down with his hands crossed behind his head. He didn't remember how long he had slept in **. After Wangcheng was released by Ouyang Hongye, he had been in a state of fleeing and rushing. The bed in this hotel was really narrower than the bed he slept in the courtyard of the Fuxing Hall. Hard, but despite this, he quickly began to fight with his eyelids and fell asleep in a daze.
