Ash began to move.

However, this time it was not flying, but walking slowly on the ground, but even if it did, for a giant beast like Little Gray, the speed was extremely fast.

Arion went alone to negotiate with the agitated villagers, and in the end he managed to convince everyone to follow him out of the place. Now the villagers were gathering around Ash, marching quickly.

"How did you convince them?" asked Guli, a little strangely.

In normal times, Guli's words would have been enough for Arion to be excited for a long time, but today he was very calm, and replied: "It's nothing, it doesn't need any tricks, I just tell them the truth, and beg them to believe me." ”

Arion gently stroked the xylophone in his arms and said in a deep tone: "The people here, in fact, whether they are good or bad, whether they are murderers or weak victims, they are actually no different, they just want to live, if there is even a slight choice, they will not come here." ”

After a pause, Arion smiled, "And Aite helped me a lot, he is also from the streets, everyone believes his words more, and Aite believes in Tianxian more, so I easily convinced them." ”

"Hmm...... I didn't expect you guys to be useful!" Gu Li laughed.

Arion nodded, looking into the distance, "If I'm not mistaken, we should be almost in sight of our destination."

"You can see it when you climb over the hill ahead!" Dolma walked over.

Now Dolma is dressed in a short shirt and a headscarf. Quite a bit of a female flying man, she pointed to the hillside not far in front of her with the map in her hand and said: "Go over that place, you will reach the destination, but ......"

Dolma said a little worriedly, "But if the situation is not as expected, then there is nothing we can do." ”

Arion smiled confidently, "No, the situation must be as I said, there will be no mistake!"

Little Gray suddenly let out a long roar, which sounded much more pleasant, which was ordered by Tianxian to do so. Otherwise, its furious roar would have scared the villagers to death.

"What's wrong?" Tian Xian knocked on Xiao Ash's head. "Watch your step, don't step on people. ”

"Ash said it was hot. Xue said from the side.

"Hot?" Tian Xian looked around, "This is how it should be, after all, we are coming." Now let's go down too. Those people may need to be reassured. ”

As Tian Xian said. Some of the villagers who were walking around Ash now seemed to want to go again.

They were tired and hungry, and the temperature was noticeably much warmer now.

Ash always has a ring of wind around his body, which makes his back very cool and dry. But as soon as he left the range of Little Gray's wind ring, a heat wave suddenly hit him.

The air around was rising rapidly, and from the hillside in front of it, there were almost visible streams of hot air.

Supporting those who couldn't walk, persuading those who didn't want to go, Tianxian and his party made several efforts, and finally led everyone to the small hillside.

Behind this hillside, the view suddenly opens up, and there is an endless golden desert.

The Land of Sand - The Shalit Empire!

The whole country is covered by an endless desert, all the land is full of yellow sand, and the Shalit Empire is further north of the frozen land, the desert is next to the ice field, which is a strange landscape left over from the war of the gods in the Broken Age, although it is already located in the north of the human continent, but it is very hot, and the climate is completely different from the nearby western highlands and the Moyun Mountains in the east.

The place where the Shalit Empire and the Longyuan Empire border is tightly there, which is where Tian Xian and the others are now.

This place is in a very special location.

Because it is behind the gray area of the Longyuan Empire, and the desert area in front of it is actually not within the borders of the Shalit Empire, it is a borderless land in the true sense.

The reason why this place is not within the borders of the Shalit Empire is that they have not yet had time to demarcate new borders, and due to special environmental factors, the territory of the Shalit Empire is expanding by an extremely small margin every year. This desert country is bordered by the ice fields of the frozen continent to the north, the towering Moyun Mountains to the right, the barren highlands that cannot be invaded to the west, and the only rich plains in the south.

The Longyuan Empire has no way to do this, the Shalit Empire relies on geographical advantages, and is not afraid of the iron cavalry of the Longyuan Empire at all, and they do not come out to harass other countries, and they don't care about the expansion of the desert, and draw a new border on the edge of the desert every once in a while......

In the end, the Longyuan Empire no longer cared about this side of the matter, anyway, the land that was swallowed by the desert every year was only so many tens of meters.

Moreover, because of the narrow border area, it would take a hundred years to cede them to the smallest city, which was not even a drop in the bucket compared to the vast territory that the Longyuan Empire had conquered in the past hundred years.

With the gray area buffer, the Longyuan Empire simply threw aside this painless little thing, and no one cared about it anymore, and the Shalit Empire pushed forward a little, and the gray area gave way a little later.

The Shalit Empire usually drew new borders every five years, and this year it has been four years since the last one.

In other words, between the gray area actually controlled by the Longyuan Empire and the Shalit Empire, a blank area with a length and width of more than 100 meters appeared!

This is a real blank space where no regime or any forces intervene.

Looking at the conspicuous sand sculpture more than 100 meters away in the desert, Arion exclaimed excitedly: "Look! The Shalit Empire has not yet drawn a national border!"

The Shalit Empire did not have a garrison here at all.

The entire desert is the best line of defense for the Shalit Empire, and they have never stationed troops on the border in history, and no country has ever posed a threat to them. The few wars that were invaded ended when the Shalit soldiers drove their opponents out of the desert, and after that, no one coveted the barren land.

What a great place!

Tian Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead and spit out a breath of heat, this desert edge is just weirdly hot!

"Legend has it that there are treasures left behind by the gods in the desert, which is why the desert is still extremely hot surrounded by ice fields, mountains and highlands, but no one has been able to confirm this legend, and it is more troublesome to move around this place than in the Eastern Kingdom. Dolma said. I seem to be familiar with this place.

"Shall we just put these people here for the time being?" Tian Xian looked around. It's not barren here, and there are quite a few woods on the edge of the desert, but the temperature is weird, and the trees look languishing.

"That's all there is to it for now. Because the environment here is much worse than the streets. That's why no one came. Now the only place they can safely stay is here!" Arion wiped the sweat from his face.

"But you said we're going to take a risk, what's going on?" Tian Xian remembered Arion's words very well.

"Although we have solved the problem that Long Jiu confessed. But in essence, this is a trick, if the Longyuan Empire sends an army in the name of encircling and suppressing the defective rebels, then not only will we not solve this problem, but we will get into even more trouble, and then there will be ......"

Arion looked at the desert: "The Shalit Empire is very concerned about its own territory, although the border has not been drawn yet, but if you calculate the time, it should be almost the day, if they think that we are not suitable to stay here, then ......"

"That means it's just a temporary plan, and I don't know when I'll have to leave or it might be doomed?"

Arion nodded, "If we are lucky, the Shalit Empire acquiesces to us staying here, and the Longyuan Empire does not send troops to clear us, and when the famine passes, these people can return to the village and continue to live." ”

"Food, water, and necessary protection, what about these things?" Tian Xian frowned.

Food and water can always be found in the surrounding woods, although it is urgent, as for the defense, as long as a simple defensive wall is built, it is impossible for those who are in trouble to gather here, and after a while, they will retreat because of the hot climate. ”

"There may be a shortage of food, but if there is not enough water, there is no way to survive here. Tianxian was a little worried, but he still waved his hand, let's go first.

......

This is a very narrow area, from the border of Shalit to the edge of the desert, there is only a distance of more than 100 meters, just near the small hillside, and with the small hill where the hillside is located as the boundary, on the other side is the gray area of the Longyuan Empire, there are some woods that are not lush nearby, and they are deserted.

The sand on the ground was so hot that it was like stepping on coals, and it was glittering, and if you stare at it for a while, your eyes will hurt involuntarily.

"This is a good place, I can feel that there is something related to me hidden in this desert!" Tian Xian was looking at the desert, and the voice of the evil eye with a little excitement suddenly sounded in Tian Xian's heart.

"Then do you know how to block out such a heat wave?" asked Tian Xian.

"Of course, this is not natural heat, it seems that something has opened up the flame veins in the center of the earth underground, so that this place is filled with earth fire and flames, as long as it is channeled a little. ”

Tianxian just asked casually, but he didn't expect the evil eye to really know the way!

"What did you just say, say it again!" Tian Xian was pleasantly surprised.

The Evil Eye said in a mocking manner: "This desert is filled with the heat in the center of the earth, as long as you arrange it around it, let the heat return to the ground." ”

"It's simple!" added Evil Eye.

"Do you know how to do it?" asked Tian Xian again.

"Of course, I have had a great ...... since the beginning of this world."

"Then let's go!" Tian Xian laughed and strode into the desert.

"I'm not done yet! I said I was ......"

"I see! You've said it no less than eight hundred times! You're the best, the greatest, the wisest! Am I right?"

"Hmm...... That's right!"

"Then get down to business now!"

Tian Xian asked everyone to help the villagers rest in place and eat something, and ran into the desert like crazy, running back and forth.

Standing in front of the border of the Shalit Empire, Tian Xian looked at the sand sculpture representing the national border, and frowned deeply, "This is below?"

This sand sculpture is an alien in armor, holding a strange long blade, and wearing a crown on his head, which appears to be the emperor of the Shalit Empire.

"Yes, there's a fire vein down there, and you should feel it, it's a good place to set up a vent. The evil eye replied.

I couldn't help but look around, and in the vast desert, there was no one.

Looking at this sand sculpture carefully, Tian Xian didn't see what kind of technique this was made, the sand sculpture was lifelike, and the sand did not disperse, but I didn't feel any strange fluctuations on the sand, as if the sand itself was born to condense into this shape.

Tianxian cautiously reached out and poked the sand sculpture.

The sand naturally fell down a bit......

What a strange sand sculpture, how did it come out?

After thinking about it, Tianxian finally decided to give it a try.

Reach out and gently press the sand sculpture, and push it back with very little force......

There is a sand seat under this sand sculpture, with the power of Tianxian, the whole sand sculpture actually began to move backwards slowly, which made Tianxian a big surprise, as long as it was pushed out a few meters and it was done.

Tianxian felt that the sand sculpture seemed to move!

"Bang!!"

In the explosion, the sand sculpture exploded without warning, and the sand splashed in all directions.

I saw a black shadow rising up from the yellow sand in the sky, screaming and running into the distance.

Tian Xian withdrew seven or eight meters away, and found that there was only a lot of sand on his body, and there was no roughness, so he couldn't help but look forward in amazement, but saw a strange bird in the distance had flown away.

"It's a fire sand bird!"

Not far away, everyone saw an accident at the scene of the sky, and immediately ran over, and Zhuoma recognized the strange bird at a glance.

"What is it?" Tian Xian was extremely surprised, the strange bird was actually hiding in the sand sculpture, and he didn't feel the life that was close at hand!

"A bird that hides in the sand and survives by devouring the breath of desert flames, the Shalit Empire also uses them to transmit information, but I didn't expect it to be hidden in the sand sculptures on the border!"

"Little Ash!" his face changed, and he suddenly roared!

But soon Tian Xian sighed helplessly, the desert weather is extremely hot, completely different from the high-altitude cold climate of Moyun Mountain, the little gray lying in the woods on the edge of the desert, even if there is wind around him to cool down, but it looks like it is already hot and weak, it is obviously impossible to fly into the desert to chase the fire sand bird.

"So...... The Shalit Empire already knows we're here!" (To be continued......)
