Although the Tatar bantam looks a little funny when ridden, it is strong in endurance and good at walking some mountain roads, so it is most practical in places like the Western Regions, where there are no smooth official roads.

Zuo Yang, Uncle Conch and Li Hanqiu walked on this vast prairie, because of the blessing of bantam horses, the original 500-mile road only took about 5 days, but now it only took 2 days, and they have entered the endless yellow desert.

The environment of this desert is obviously much worse than the desert where the Dragon Gate Inn is located, whether it is temperature or wind and sand, it is not at the same level at all, and because of this, their "thirst value" and "hunger value" are also growing much faster, and the consumption of supplies has naturally increased.

In addition to this, bantams are gradually revealing their disadvantages.

Their legs are relatively short, and the soles of their feet are not as wide as camels, and it is easy to sink into them when carrying people in the soft and loose desert......

And this time it was not like when they went to the Tatar capital before, when they went to the Tatar capital, there were Tatars to take care of the horses, Zuo Yang and the others were not only responsible for themselves, but also allocated a part of the food and water source to feed the three bantam horses, and the horses' need for food and fresh water was greater than that of people.

When he hadn't entered the desert before, Zuo Yang had specially observed that the daily food and fresh water requirements of these bantam horses were twice that of a person, and if they had been walking on the road outside the desert, the speed would be 2.5 times that of normal walking.

So on the first day of entering this desert, Zuo Yang made a decision: give up riding a bantam and move forward on foot!

"But big brother, what to do with these horses, do you leave them to fend for themselves in the desert?"

Uncle Conch is still a little reluctant, these bantam horses can't be like the horses rented at the post station, they will be put away when they say they are put away, and they will be summoned when they are summoned.

"It's not enough to fend for themselves, as the saying goes, old horses know the way, these horses are well-trained, as long as their hives are removed, they should soon be able to leave the desert, as long as they return to the steppe, even if no one feeds them, they will not starve to death and die of thirst, and it will not be long before they return to the capital of the Tatar kings."

Zuo Yang said with a smile.

In this regard, Li Hanqiu did not express any opinion at all, and even before Zuo Yang's words were finished, she had already jumped off the horse and took off the horse's halter, slapped it on the horse's buttocks, and sent it away.

This woman is very decisive in her actions, and even some men are a little inferior to her.

So, the three of them continued to hike through the desert.

As for which direction he wanted to go, Zuo Yang directly drew a straight line on the map that was full of black mist, and this line pointed directly to the Western Xia royal capital that had been marked according to the clues provided by the [Western Regions Records of Observations].

The idea is simple, their supplies are limited, and there is basically no place in the desert to replenish supplies, so it is undoubtedly a very stupid decision to stay in this desert to find a target that may require a lot of time and may not be able to find, in case the supplies run out of them and still do not get out of the desert, there is basically only a dead end.

So Zuo Yang decided to use the "Fate Method" to find it first, to put it bluntly, it was to go straight to the main destination of this time, the Xixia Royal Capital, if they were lucky enough to meet the "Loulan Secret Grottoes" on the way, it would naturally be the most perfect, if not, they would also be able to cross this desert in the shortest possible time, and first finish the affairs of the Western Xia Royal Capital, and then consider whether to return to the desert to find it.

In addition, until now, Zuo Yang has not told the two of his peers about the "Loulan Secret Grotto".

Because he still has some concerns about Li Hanqiu, firstly, because there is still too little understanding between the two, and secondly, this woman is full of revenge, and if she can't keep it, she will do some unscrupulous things in order to achieve her goal, and since the [Desert Star] in the "Loulan Secret Grottoes" is known as a treasure against the sky, there must be something outstanding that is not known now, what if this woman has a crooked mind?

As for Uncle Conch, Zuo Yang was not worried.

But this guy has a big mouth, and if he leaks his mouth in front of Li Hanqiu, it won't be good......

……

Time flies, and the three of them have been walking in this desert for four days unconsciously, all of them looking like dust and dust.

However, until now, Zuo Yang still didn't know where the end of this desert was.

He could only estimate the time it would take to reach the Western Xia royal capital by the lines he had drawn on the map full of black mist, and it would probably take at least another 20 days to walk, because the environment of this desert was too harsh, and their travel speed was greatly affected.

If the 20-day journey had been all desert, their supplies would have been insufficient.

But Zuo Yang knew that the Xixia kings were located in a basin on the plateau, and they were close to the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and these two rivers were the mother rivers that crossed the entire Central Plains.

In the afternoon of that day, the three of them were ravaged by the harsh environment, and they didn't want to say anything, but they were just hurrying away.

"Rustle! Rustle! ”

Suddenly, there was a vision in the distance.

"Won't there be another sandstorm?"

Uncle Conch suddenly became nervous, they had encountered a sandstorm in the past few days, although the scale of the sandstorm was not large, but it still almost buried the three of them alive.

"Seems to be a boat?"

Li Hanqiu's skill realm is high, and his eyesight is stronger than Zuo Yang and Uncle Conch, and after taking a look at it, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"A boat indeed!"

As the sound drew closer, Zuo Yang finally saw the thing that was moving quickly over the sand dunes.

There was a huge white sail on the boat, and with the help of the wind, the boat cruised very smoothly in the desert as if it were in the water, dragging a long cloud of sand and dust behind it, and it looked very uncomfortable.

"How can there be a ship in the desert, and ......"

Uncle Conch instantly raised his vigilance, held down the weapon on his waist and said, "...... The boat seems to be coming straight for us! ”
