Having an endless deposit of minerals means that the biters can find enough resources there.

There are also a variety of exotic animals that never appear in the outside world, which means that the swarm can get more kinds of genes there.

And, since this oasis has been given an adjective like "legendary", it means that it is definitely not easy to find.

In Xue Hua's view, this is a treasure trove of natural genes and a good base site that is both secret and exploitative!

So, he quickly concentrated his attention and asked Isha to start recording what Kane said next word word for word in the mind of the main nest.

"There are very few valuable accounts of this fabled oasis, and many of the claims to have seen it in the desert were only hallucinations or mirages due to the hot weather.

One of the most valuable, and true, of these records is the manuscript written by a group of sandmen who had lost their way in a sandstorm before Rugoin was founded.

At that time, human writing was not the same as it is now, and the meaning of the text was very different, so the manuscript that was finally found was only partially deciphered.

But just this part of the decipherment, and the information revealed in it, is enough to provoke reverie. ”

Kane stood up, walked to the side of the tarpaulin-covered book, and quickly pulled out a very old pamphlet with a gray cover.

Then he returned to his seat and sat down, carefully opening the book with a very gentle motion, holding the spine with one hand and the other on the page, and reading it slowly in his mouth.

"The sandfolk wrote in their account: 'Just as we were about to die of thirst, an oasis suddenly appeared beneath us, and it appeared without warning that we all thought it was a trap set by death... But some of us finally couldn't hold back the thirst, and they drank the water from the pool!

We regret it now, and we have to drink that water too, or we will die before them......

We explored this miraculous oasis of sudden appearance, with vast woodlands and large jewel-like lakes......

One of us picked up some glittering stones next to the raised boulder, and he said he was going to take them back as a souvenir......

Today we ran into some furry cat-faced people, and we almost got into a fight with them, but they didn't seem to want to fight us, they just followed us from a distance in the jungle around us......

When we got up, we were surprised to find that we were sleeping on the sand again, and everything around us returned to before we entered the oasis, as if the oasis was nothing more than a long dream... We are so disappointed......

The companion who picked up the stone, the glittering stone he carried with him is still there! Everything we experienced was real! But the oasis is gone......

This was the end of the recording, and the 'glittering stone' was eventually discovered in a tomb by the explorers sent by Lugoin along with the recording.

The stone was identified as an associated mineral of some very valuable gem, and the royal family of Rugoin began to search for the legendary oasis. ”

Kane picked up the cup on the blanket in front of him and took a sip, the expression on his face was a little unpredictable.

"And then? They obviously didn't find it, right? Otherwise, the oasis wouldn't be just a legend. ”

Seeing Kane stop, Xue Hua suddenly asked anxiously.

"Yes, they didn't find ... Later, however, something happened in the oasis that caused some of the cats to emerge from the oasis and enter the desert to survive, and the royal family of Lugoin and some scholars tried to find out the path to the oasis from the catmen, but at this time, the invasion of hell began.

Since almost all of the cat-people tribes have been polluted by the energy of hell and have become completely unable to communicate and extremely aggressive, the matter is over. ”

"Gone? How did you find out how to view this map? Variif had forgotten to drink his favorite wine, and the mystery had fully piqued his interest.

"In the battle against Hell, a professional has discovered another map like the one Xue found today, and that map is obviously another part of this whole map.

At that time, the mages of Hradim studied the map, and they believed that the map was divided into three parts, each of which was held by the three largest tribes that had emerged from the oasis, and that the path depicted in the map was supposed to be the path to the legendary oasis.

However, the map at that time was eventually completely lost in the war, and of course, some people say that the map was secretly stored by the royal family of Rugoin, but this statement has not been proved by the royal family of Lugoin......"

Speaking of this, Kane shook his head, handed the map back to Xue Hua, and then said to him in a regretful tone: "Xue, looking at your appearance, I really hope to find that oasis, right?" Unfortunately, one of these three maps is long gone, so you'd better not get your hopes up. ”

Xue Hua shook his head with a little disappointment, took the map in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't find any valuable clues from the mutilated drawings at all.

Anyway, Chenggu is happy, and there is no regret in defeat, so let Dehaka stay here with this thing to look for it, anyway, he was going to leave a team here to collect all kinds of genes.

Think of this thing as a side quest.

He smiled, tucked the map back into his inventory, and took a sip from his glass.

Variif on the side also looked a little lost, he thought that they would soon discover some big secret.

"Okay, the story is over, let's rest early today, we have to get up early tomorrow morning to hurry."

He adjusted his mood, grabbed a piece of vegetable cake from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, then turned around and pulled the curtain, said goodnight to Xue Hua and the others, and left.

......

Early the next morning, a misty red mist drifted out of the mysterious sand dunes, obscuring the entire caravan assembly point.

However, the merchants who traveled back and forth between the Eastern and Western Kingdoms did not delay their journey.

Varif's caravan set out early again, leaving the rallying point on the edge of the mysterious dunes.

They need to cross the edge of the dunes in three days, entering the desert that follows.

The mysterious sand dunes are too dangerous for anyone to linger too long in a place like this.

The size of the caravan was now much larger, as the medium and small caravans with which they had previously spent the night in the assembly point were also incorporated.

Varif allowed them to follow in order to gain some shelter, but of course, it came at a cost.

Before the caravan departed, Xue Hua left the assembly point alone and called Dehaka out behind a mesa.

He gave it two tasks, the first of which was to lead the swarm troops to hunt those monsters with flesh and blood and essence that could be absorbed in the mysterious dunes, and leave enough essence for Abbather to study.

The other quest is about that map......

Xue Hua handed the remnant map to Dehaka and instructed him to look up any clues about the legendary oasis by the way, and not to deliberately explore.

After completing the task, Xue Hua left Dehaka with a swarm of more than 10,000 troops and some worker bees, so that it could be replenished in time when the swarm was lost.

By the way, he also left the two thunderbeasts to it, since the combat power of some creatures here cannot be evaluated simply by the level of ghost energy (the giant beast found before is only 3.1 in Isa's ghost level measurement, but a professional of about thirty-three levels will not be able to beat it), so leaving the thunderbeast behind can ensure that Dehaka's exploration swarm has enough strength to deal with most prey.

After doing all this, Xue Hua returned to the caravan to continue his journey.
