Chapter 241: The Northern Border

"The Great Sword of the Dust of the Desolation is a legendary thing, and the sand kings of the past generations have only known some of the origin and function of this sword thing from the stories passed down from the old people, and no one has really seen it, not even my father, who is known as the greatest sand king in a thousand years, has never seen it with his own eyes. ”

The Sand King's eyes were full of confusion, " But all the records, the secret books of the royal family, the secret passed down by the mouth of the sand king, this qiē all indicate that the barren dust sword created the entire desert, and it was buried deep in this land in the broken era, legend has it that at that time it was still a fertile land, and then the power of the gods destroyed a qiē, the north of the continent was permanently frozen by a huge ice block, and the cold wind blew to the south, it was the heat emitted by the barren dust sword that resisted the cold wind, but this heat also made all the plants slowly die, and the land slowly became a desert. ”

"As its power has been strong and weak, the northern border of the desert with the ice sheet has shifted forward and retreated, and occasionally there have been cases where the ice has melted into rivers and glaciers that have not had time to melt completely, but all within a suitable range, for more than a thousand years. ”

"But this time, the power of the Great Sword of Desolate Dust has never been more violent, the ice that has not had time to completely melt has been tilting into the desert, and the more the ice inside the ice layer, the more difficult it is to melt, from this sign to the present, the northern desert has been encroached on a large area, and this situation is still continuing. ”

The Sand King's expression was very solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If you don't think about it, the desert will really disappear......"

Tian Xian couldn't help but ask, "After I took away the Desolate Dust Great Sword, is this situation still going on?"

"The desert has gotten a little colder. The northern glacier is re-freezing......"

"But in that case, this sword will not bring good results to the desert no matter what. ”

"As long as it can change the power of the desert repeatedly and steadily, the desert will not have a problem. ”

Tian Xian pondered, "Then why did you tell me to come back here before the Kraken Moon?"

Speaking of the past, the relationship between the two sides was still very rigid at that time, and the Sand King was a little embarrassed, and replied in a low voice: "Because the energy fluctuations of the desolate dust are very extraordinary, I can't wait for it to calm down, I must find a way to solve this problem." So you have to dig it out first. The Kraken Moon is a good day for treasure hunting, so ......"

Tian Xian smiled bitterly, it turned out that it was because of this.

"So you're going to dig it up, and then study it and think about it. ”

"Hmm!" the Sand King nodded vigorously. After that, he said a little stupidly: "But you killed me halfway." Disrupted all the plans. ”

"But!" said the Sand King with a sudden smile. "Now not only has the great sword been taken, but also the rebellion of Dole has been put down, which is a windfall. Hey...... It seems that I was really prescient. ”

Tianxian suddenly asked: "But what does the digging out of the Wasteland Sword have to do with those mixed sands?"

"Of course it matters!" the sand king took out a small cloth bag in his arms, and when he opened it, there was a layer of golden sand inside, which was mixed with golden sand.

"Don't underestimate the sand!" said the Sand King very seriously, "this is very rare in the desert, and there is nothing special in the desert, but once it reaches the surface of the sand, the gold sand will become stronger than armor when squeezed together, and it is almost impossible to dig it up! ”

Saying that, the Sand King wrinkled his nose, "But I didn't expect you to know that there would be hot air spewing from under the desert, and let Shanu be your helper, so you dug it out like this." ”

Speaking of this sand king, she was a little angry, she thought of a lot of ways at the beginning, but there was no way to dig up the sand, only a few meters below is a solid gold sand that is almost condensed together, and the power of the sand king who can control the entire desert is helpless against these gold sands.

racked his brains and had no choice but to ask outsiders for help, but he was dug up by Tianxian in such a simple and crude way.

"Shanu's injuries are not healed yet!"

Tian Xian scratched his head, "At that time, we were enemies, there was no way, and I also suffered a loss once before I knew that Huangchen would take the initiative to absorb the power around me, so I thought of the big man Shanu, but it was really strong, and in the end it was not hurt much." ”

"That's because this Shanu is at its peak age, and if it were ten years from now, it would have been dead. The sand king pouted, and suddenly his face was full of refusal to give up.

"Don't take it as an example!"

"No! I want you to pay for it!" the Sand King immediately cried out.

"But I don't have that much money or anything, so you won't want me to pay you that sword. ”

The Sand King's stomach bulged out in anger, that sword originally belonged to the desert, and now that he had taken it, he actually looked like it was originally his.

"Anyway, I want you to pay, if you can't afford it, you won't be allowed to leave!"

Tian Xian looked at the appearance of the Sand King, three points of seriousness, three points of pleading, three points of anxiety and one point of expectation, and I couldn't help but feel a little helpless, now it seems that the Sand King really needs help, but he has indeed spent a lot of time in the desert, and now there is one more important thing to do.

"Do you have to pay for it?" asked Tian Xian, tilting his head.

"By all means...... Must ......" The sand king was about to agree, but halfway through speaking, she suddenly hesitated, lowered her head, fiddled with the corners of her clothes a few times, and said a little aggrieved, "You don't want to pay, of course I can't ...... it"

Biting his lower lip, the sand king was really a little sad, "I know you won't stay here, people outside don't like the desert, although I don't think you reject here, but just like my father said, some people are like the wind in the sky, even if the sand of this desert is heavy, he still blows from one end to the other, and then disappears into the vast land, and no one can stay." ”

"It's like, that gust of wind, the desert is much cooler, but it will leave eventually. ”

The Sand King nodded to himself, "I understand all of this......"

I have to say. The last two sentences of the sand king softened Tianxian's heart.

Tianxian couldn't help but think, why does such a little girl have to see many things so clearly, so clearly, this is simply a cruel torture for her, even if people know that some things are false, they would rather be beautiful, because reality is sometimes really too ruthless.

"But I still want to plead with you. The sand king raised his little face and faced the sky with a smile, "With the identity of a friend." And not the identity of the sand king. I don't think a gust of wind cares how heavy the yellow sand is, but it is also willing to fly in the sky with the yellow sand once in a while......"

Snorting, the Sand King made himself smile a little stronger, and continued, "I hope you can help me one more time." Is that okay? I promise you. Never change. ”

Tianxian stared at the little girl who was not yet on his chest. The Sand King also looked at Tianxian, and the two of them looked at each other quietly, and the garden became indescribably quiet for a while.

Good for a while. Tian Xian raised his eyebrows, "So, you will give me gold?"

The Sand King cried with joy, jumped up and hugged Tianxian's neck, and shouted, "All the gold of the Golden City will be given to you!"

Tianxian let her hang on his nose, and said with a smile: "I just want a good one." ”

The sand king pursed his lips and kissed Tianxian on the face, and said proudly: "In this world, the gold of the desert is the purest and best gold!"

......

"Shall we go to the Northern Desert?"

When Tian Xian told everyone the news, everyone was surprised, because everyone was already planning to leave the desert, and Tu Ge was especially surprised and a little annoyed, which meant that he had to continue to endure the unbearable sand and dust of the desert.

"I don't have anything to do with it, but ......" Dolma leaned back on her backpack with a helpless expression.

"Me too. Arion shrugged.

"The Northern Desert, that's close to the land left over from the Broken Age, the Frozen Continent. Gu Li looked at Tian Xian, "If you really want to go, it's not bad, maybe you can find some clues to the gods in that kind of place." ”

Tu Ge snorted directly when he heard that no one objected, he didn't want to stay in the desert anymore.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one objected, and finally their eyes fell on the snow. Tianxian also looked at her, "Xue, what about you?"

As usual, Xue gently tugged at Tianxian's sleeve and nodded.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Actually, now everyone shouldn't be in this place for a long time, Long Jiu sent the news of Xue's father before, but due to the changes at the border, everyone has not been given a chance to get out, and now that more than half a month has passed, maybe this news is useless.

Looking at Xue's usual face, Tianxian felt a little heavy, "Xue, it's really ......"

Snow shook her head, "Black, it's okay, I can find him, for me...... It doesn't matter. ”

As long as Tianxian nodded, Xue was always secretive about her father, indifferent as if she didn't have a father, and all kinds of information from the inseparable relationship between Tianxian and Xue every day showed that Xue not only didn't have much concept of family affection for his father, but even a little resentful, and even, a little afraid.

Every time he talked about his father, Tian Xian seemed to feel the snow trembling slightly, because of a suppressed anger and deep fear in his heart.

More than half a month ago, Xue's father was practicing swords in a snowy forest area in the western part of the Longyuan Empire, and according to the intelligence, he had been staying there for a month.

He used to be a very famous young powerhouse on the continent, but since he returned from the Far North, he has rarely appeared, and it has been difficult to find traces for more than ten years, but it is said that he has secretly done several big things, and his strength has also improved by leaps and bounds, and he is one of the most powerful characters on the human continent.

His real name is unknown, and he calls himself: White.

Snow clearly didn't want to see him.

"Well, let's go to the northern desert to have a look, where we are next to the ice fields of the frozen continent, maybe we will have unexpected gains. Tian Xian gently held Xue's little hand and said with a smile, "There, it's closer to your home."

Snow nodded again and smiled.

Next.

The Sand King personally led the way, and Tian Xian and the others sat on the Sand Slave, and left this incomparably fantastic city in the desert under the welcome of all the people of the Golden City.

"You've just kicked your position, is it okay to leave like this?" Tian Xian asked suspiciously, looking at the Shalit soldiers who were only a few thousand on the left and right of Shanu.

"I can't be tied down in the Golden City. And if the situation gets to the point where I will rebel as soon as I leave, it will be safer for me to leave, and I will know who is rebelling again. The Sand King replied very easily, looking at Tianxian with a smile, "And our noble guests in the desert are still there, who would dare to start a rebellion again?"

The sky is idle and speechless......

The journey was not boring at all, the desert was far from being a patch of yellow sand as one might think, so desolate that one could not even bother to look at it, and there were many strange creatures alive in this land that was scorching during the day and cold as ice at night.

The Sand King kept sending all kinds of messages and orders back to the Golden City with the Sand Firebird that he had dug out of the sand casually. Day and night never stop. Although it's out, I know everything about the Golden City.

On the way, the only large gliding creature in the desert, the sand catfish, is an eye-opener for Tianxian, who are about the size of the sannu. Usually swim in the sand. Sometimes it will leap into the air like a fish. The sight of gliding with wide fins and hundreds of catfish emerging from the dunes and soaring into the air is simply shocking.

For this reason, Tian Xian and the others waited in the same place for half an hour to enjoy the coolness. It is said to be cool because those huge catfish are no different from dark clouds in mid-air, and they really cover the sky and the sun.

"These guys are weird, they don't need to eat, but they have to get a lot of calories to live, and if they can't find a river of fire under the sand, they jump into the air and bask in the sun. The Sand King looked at the sand catfish in the sky and was very excited, "I wanted to use the sand catfish as a ride, but this thing always jumps up and down, and it is very restless. ”

Tian Xian thought to himself that this thing is either tossing under the sand or jumping in the sky, it is really not suitable for being a car, although Shanu is not beautiful, but the skin is thick and very obedient, it is a very good car.

But soon Tianxian didn't think so, and encountered a nest of gold-eating ants on the road, Shanu suddenly began to disobey the order of the sand king, like a hound that smelled the fragrance, and rushed to the ant nest with an excited hiss, if it weren't for Tianxian and the others running fast, they would all be brought into the huge ant pit with a diameter of ten meters.

On that day, the sand king had to stay in place, waiting for the sand slave to come out of the sand with enough food and drink, and at night the sand king also happily grabbed a palm-sized ant from the nearby sand to show Tianxian, which made everyone a little creepy.

The ant's head was thicker than a thumb, and its body was as shiny as gold, and the pincers of its mouthparts looked extremely sharp.

"This thing eats sand. "Then spit out all the sand and swallow the gold in the sand, and the gold after digestion is much better than ordinary gold, which is an important raw material for us to make high-purity gold." ”

"Boom!!"

There was a huge roar from under the ground, and in the violent vibration, the yellow sand of the sand not far away flew up, and the sand slave came out, and the huge bony feet also grabbed a golden ant that was extremely fat, almost as big as a small gray.

"This is the queen ant. The sand king was a little helpless, "Shanu likes to eat this, it's best not to bother it at this time, it's not my car after all, and sometimes I can't take care of it." ”

All night long, the desert was filled with the sound of sand nu "creaking" eating, which made people feel cold.

The next day, Shanu was obviously obedient a lot, and the so-called being full of food and doing things was easy to do, and this sentence actually applied to this strange giant beast.

Although Shanu is very fast, but after all, the Sand King still has thousands of soldiers, Shanu can't let go of the speed to move forward, fortunately, these soldiers are experts in long-distance movement in the desert, from the center of the desert to the northern border of the desert, have seen the sand catfish, break through the ant nest, and also disperse a large wave of fire lizards, and dodged a sandstorm, on the morning of the seventh day, the team finally approached the destination.

"It's cold!"

Gu Li shrank behind Tian Xian, kept rubbing her hands, and leaned on Tian Xian's body intentionally or unintentionally, Tian Xian's body was much warmer than others.

The temperature began to drop rapidly yesterday, as if the sun had set and not risen again, and in the distance, you could already see the ice standing tall in the distance, and the desert in the distance was also covered with a vast white color.

The Sand King exhaled, and the fog was clearly visible, "The glacier has moved a little further distance, and the situation is much worse than expected. ”

Everyone feels very cold, Tian Xian does not have any special feeling, Huowu Mountain is hot all year round, and many peaks are extremely cold, this hot and cold climate Tian Xian has long been accustomed to it, and there is a counter-heart to protect the body, Tian Xian only wore a short shirt, but it seems that the warmest one among the people.

"Here's to you. Seeing that Gu Li was very cold, he simply took off his clothes and draped them on her.

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly blushed, "I'm ...... I, I'm not ......"

"It's quite suitable, wear it, although it's a little dirty. ”

Although Gu Li is one piece taller than Tian Xian, her height is reflected in the pair of slender and round beautiful legs, her upper body is about the same as Tian Xian, her body is tight and full, and Tian Xian is also a lot stronger when she leaves the Divine Domain, and she really fits this dress quite well.

I felt embarrassed and didn't want to wear it, but when the clothes were draped on my body, Gu Li felt reluctant to take them off...... After hesitating, I put it on honestly.

"Thank you......" Guli whispered, and then leaned behind Tian Xian, naked like those Shalit warriors today, and looked even warmer than before......

Casually mentioning it, Tian Xian threw the sand king who was rubbing his little hands onto Tu Ge's shoulder, and Tu Ge's thick white fluff was extremely warm.

Snow is definitely not afraid of the cold, Zhuoma has Vero care, incense has always been accompanied by cold in the highlands, Tian Xian looked at Arion, patted him on the shoulder: "Bear with it!"

Arion felt the urge to cry.

Shanu walked to the other end, accustomed to the heat, unable to move forward, its skeletal feet had become less flexible, and it would freeze completely if it continued to walk.

Tian Xian steadied the Desert Dust Sword that straddled behind him, "Let's go! Let's go see if there are aliens or anything like that in this glacier." ”

"Aliens?" the Sand King looked curious.

"Haha, it's a strange person. ”

"Hmm...... How does it seem to be a lie. ”

"How is it possible, look at my honest eyes......"

"Hmm...... Both eyes are talking about deceiving people......" (to be continued......
