"Brother Chen, Brother Yang, Luo Shuai, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The two sides caught up, and Ouyang Fei apologized to Chen Yulou and the others.

Chen Yulou smiled and said: "Brother Ou is serious, you help each other with righteousness, I can't wait for gratitude, just wait, what a word." ”

Partridge Whistle said hello to Ou Huamin and Wang Ping, "Uncle Ou, Aunt Ping." ”

Hua Ling asked curiously, "Brother Ou, didn't Grandpa Chen come?"

Ouyang Fei bowed his head and said: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law went to Shuzhong, I heard that there were demons and harming people over there, they went to ambush, the old man went to the north, this time the five of us will accompany you to the exquisite ancient city." ”

Chen Yulou also knew that Ou Huamin was Ouyang Fei's father at this time, and respectfully greeted him, calling him uncle, everyone else had seen it before, and he was already very familiar with it.

After the greetings, everyone returned to the valley together, and Luo Lao leaned over to Ou Jingyan's side and asked with great interest: "Sister Jingyan, what is the name of the song you just sang? ”

Ou Jingyan said casually: "Just sing it! That song is called Desert Camel." ”

"Hehe, I really didn't see it, my sister still has this ability, I can sing more in the future, listen to you sing, my brother and I feel a lot more comfortable. ”

"If you like it, I'll teach you later! There are some tunes that are especially suitable for you soldiers to sing together. ”

"Okay, if you teach those bunnies to sing, they're much more motivated, haha. ”

Back at the camp, it was dinner time, everyone had dinner together, and Luo Lao Crooked really organized everyone to learn to sing with Ou Jingyan together.

Ou Jingyan didn't squirm, and taught them a song "Brothers, One Life", and in the end, more than 1,000 people sang in unison, and they really sang a little bit of enthusiasm.

After a night's rest in the valley, the next morning, before the sun had even risen, the team set out.

It is not realistic to buy more than a thousand camels in a short period of time, and it is easy to attract the attention of people with intentions, after all, the Western Regions is Yang Zengxin's territory, if he is targeted, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, the 400 or so camels were all used to carry food, water, tents and other materials, and the personnel were all on foot, and when they returned, those camels were naturally loaded with gold and jade treasures.

Although the road from the Hercynian region to the Taklamakan Desert is a deserted Gobi desert, there are large and small freshwater lakes and rivers everywhere, and although there are certain dangers, compared to the desert, it is nothing.

Most of those dangers come from wolves and all kinds of poisonous insects, but the soldiers of Luo Lao's regiment are all armed with long and short guns, and the wolves that were originally the most threatening are not a threat.

Wolves can only threaten small caravans or lone pedestrians, and there are no herds of wild beasts that can pose a threat to a modern army.

As for the poisonous insects, the unloading wrestlers and sapper digging battalions drilled in the deep mountains and old forests and various mausoleums all the year round naturally carry anti-poisonous insect powder.

It took less than a month to reach the Tarim Basin, the edge of the Taklamakan Desert.

The initial stretch of the road, about fifty or sixty kilometers, was not a desert at all, there was a Cherchen River on the edge of the desert, the surrounding sand was very shallow, and there were scattered small lakes everywhere.

Chen Yulou and the others made very adequate preparations, in addition to each person carrying half a month's dry food, the camel herd also carried enough food for everyone to eat for three months.

Moreover, before entering the desert and completely losing food replenishment, they try not to consume the food they carry, and the wild animals in the Western Regions are rich in resources, providing them with a lot of meat.

Such as wild asses, wild yaks, wild horses, antelopes, mink bears, etc., Ouyang Fei chose the routes where these wild animals were more concentrated when they explored the routes before.

Therefore, when they reach the edge of the Taklamakan they carry with them, they do not consume much food and drink water all the way, keeping all the water bladders full at all times.

After entering the desert for a few days, they can be regarded as truly entering the desert, and for a long time they have no food and water supplements, and can only consume the food they carry.

However, as food and water were consumed, the weight of both humans and camels gradually became lighter, and they became more and more relaxed.

The Taklamakan Desert is a mobile desert, where strong winds blow the sand dunes, the landscape changes day by day, without any features, and naturally there is no target that can be used as a reference, even if it is the road you have just walked, if it is not for the deep footprints on the ground, it is impossible to return the same way.

And over time, even the footprints will disappear after a few winds, and if you can't get back to the starting point before the footprints disappear, then you are likely to get lost in the desert.

Chen Yulou said to Ouyang Fei with some admiration: "Brother Ou, I really have to admire you, in such an environment, you can actually find a route smoothly, and only a god like you can do it." ”

"But I have to ask, how do you get your bearings without any references? ”

After listening to Chen Yulou's words, everyone looked at Ouyang Fei and the others, this was a matter related to their lives, so they naturally had to figure it out.

Ouyang Fei smiled slightly, his divine sense emanated, and he sensed it slightly, and then pointed in a direction and said, "Look over there." ”

Everyone turned their heads one after another, Ouyang Fei muttered a few incantations in his mouth, and everyone could only hear a "sigh".

Seeing where they were looking, a large dark cloud suddenly condensed in the distant sky, and the next moment, a thunderbolt suddenly descended from the dark cloud, and after a while, they heard a thunderclap coming from afar.

Everyone looked at this scene in amazement, "Brother Ou, what is this?"

Ou Jingyan smiled and explained: "Actually, it's very simple, when we are exploring the road, every time we walk a distance, we will find a place with a water source, or simply an oasis, and lay down a five thunder array. ”

"That formation can gather the aura of heaven and earth on its own, and we cultivators are the most sensitive to the changes in the aura of heaven and earth, so as long as we go in the direction of the relatively strong aura, there will be absolutely no mistake. ”

Mucha added: "Even if the aura is disturbed due to some irresistible natural factors, and the sense is not clear, we can also use the Dao method to trigger the formation and thunder from the sky, so that we will naturally not get lost." ”

After listening to Ou Jingyan and Muxia's explanation, everyone was relieved, and they all praised the miracle, and the sergeants and Xieling wrestlers who heard their words around passed on the words one by one, and all the sergeants and wrestlers also put their minds at ease and no longer worried about their own safety.
