Chapter 49: Red Sand Ridge

After a day of walking along the path, the distance out was not as good as the previous half a day. If it weren't for the fact that the horses were bought, Chi Nan would have wanted to release the horses and go inside by himself.

All three men got off their horses at this time, walked on their own, and pulled their horses. Sometimes, it is necessary to control the vegetation to make way for some roads, or to fill in the holes under your feet so that the horses can walk smoothly.

The road on both sides was full of thorn vines, and if it weren't for the fact that Chi Nan could control it, the horses would have been covered in wounds. Even so, there were times when Chi Nan didn't have time to control it, resulting in wounds on the horses. Even if it is a bald father and a leg, his body is not intact, but there are several more cuts.

The only one that is intact is Chi Nan, who has only now discovered what it is to not be actively attacked by plants.

When those thorn bushes come into contact with them, the thorn bushes will automatically shrink back, and the spikes on them will instantly become less sharp. When you touch your skin, you will have a little burst of life magic on your skin.

And the thorn vines that come into contact with the magic of life will deform at an extremely fast speed to avoid hurting themselves. Therefore, when he walked to this place, Chi Nan didn't even have his clothes torn, which is really a miracle.

On the way, Chi Nan kept asking the two of them for various field experiences, which he lacked. There are also some combat skills, and sometimes a few times with the bald dad.

It's just that Chi Nan also discovered that his physical fitness seems to be too good, even if his skills are far inferior to the bald father, but he is still stronger than the other party. It turned out that before I knew it, I was already so powerful. It's just that Chi Nan exercised these just to make himself better adapt to the battle and avoid being attacked by sneak attacks, and he didn't think about using them at all.

In this way, after three full days, the three of them finally walked out of the path. As one leg said, this place was really not suitable for the Orcs to operate, so there was no trouble at all.

Not to mention the Beastmen, not even the animals have encountered a larger one. Chi Nan controlled the plants, and only caught some pheasants and rabbits, but he also improved their food.

"My lord, please see, the red mountain in front of you is the Red Rock Mountain, and the town of Hongsha is at the foot of the Red Stone Mountain, and we are still a day's journey away. Suddenly, one leg pointed into the distance.

Chi Nan looked up, there was indeed a red mountain in the distance, this should be said to be a very large mountain range, there is a corner on this side, and then continue to go deep into the distance, nowhere to be seen, surrounded by dense forests.

"This mountain is called Redstone Mountain because it is red, so what about Hongsha Town, is it also red?"

One leg nodded: "My lord is right, Hongsha Town is indeed red, and there is red sand everywhere inside and outside the town, in this kind of land, ordinary crops cannot grow at all, so there is very little food produced." If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many people in Hongsha Town, I'm afraid this land wouldn't be able to support so many people. ”

As the saying goes, red land is the worst land, and it seems that this is true. It's just that such a big mountain is red, and that's weird. Is it because of the high iron ore content?

"If there's a lot of iron ore here, it's going to be developed. "In such a backward area, what an iron ore mine means, needless to say, Chinan also knows. If there is an iron mine, Chi Nan is sure that Hongsha Town will become a rich place, and it is enough to rely on the ore veins alone. However, that's not what Chi Nan thinks.

Forget it, let's wait until it's over. As the three of them got closer and closer to Hongsha Town, there was indeed more and more red soil on the ground. And the surrounding vegetation is also getting less and less.

Originally, there were dense roads in this place that made people impassable, but with the invasion of red sand, the plants here are impassable, and it is no problem to run the carriage directly. The wide road, the fewer and fewer plants, and some stones on the ground, all tell how barren a place like Chi Nan is.

There are only a few places where the yellow soil is exposed, and some plants are planted here and there. Chi Nan learned from the bald father's mouth that this was the black valley, the plant that is usually eaten in this world.

This plant grows a large, black seed that, when mature, produces a spherical hard shell in which the seed is located. This black valley is what is used to make that kind of black bread, bread that is as hard as a stone.

I really don't understand, there is a natural top flour, but they don't know how to use it, so they have to eat this kind of thing. And whether it's polishing or manufacturing skills, it's not up to par, and I don't know how to improve it.

Looking at the crops planted, you can also see that their cultivation level is not very good. The plant division is dense in some places and sparse in others, as if it is planted casually in this place and left alone. If it weren't for the fact that few insects would come to plague the crops of Black Valley, I am afraid that they would end up with no harvest.

How lazy is this, I'd rather starve to death without anything to eat, and I don't know how to improve planting.

Chi Nan patted his head: "People in this world, do they all focus on playing?"

Unbeknownst to Chi Nan, the reason why the farmers didn't take care of these crops was because they had other things to do, and they needed to use other methods to collect food to ensure that they wouldn't die.

After walking all day again, Chi Nan could already see the range of the Red Sand Ridge in the distance. There is only a fence around it, and there are human buildings far away from the fence. Far away, I can't see clearly.

"My lord, let's camp here for the night, and I'll check the situation. ”

"You better wait, your legs and feet are not good, and it depends on the old man and me when it is critical. It's not like I can't do these things, old man. Rest assured, there will be no problem. ”

The bald dad held down one leg and quickly ran towards the opposite side. Chi Nan watched the bald father leave, and then together with one leg, built a temporary residence in this place. The accommodation is behind a large tree, which is to prevent detection. The fire is also blocked by large trees, and it is absolutely impossible to find it from the direction of the town.

"It's really cautious, this is the experience, you must write it down and learn it later. Chi Nan silently absorbed some sparks of wisdom inadvertently emitted by the two of them, and slowly made up for his shortcomings.
