Small farmers dominate the desert island

Chapter 1696 Camel Caravan

After Gu Tie finished drinking, he pulled his horse over again.

The horse was going to carry two to three hundred catties of ancient iron, and its hooves had already weakened. After seeing the water in the cactus, the horse hurriedly imitated the ancient iron and stuck its head in it.

Moreover, he not only drank water, but also ate the tender meat inside the prickly pear.

Seeing that there was water in the prickly pear ball, the others rushed over like zombies, chopped off the prickly pear ball with their knives, and stuck their heads in it.

Although the water was a bit bitter, they still drank it happily.

After people drink, they become horses. These horses have already reached the end of their strength. Let alone carrying people, even if they are allowed to walk on their own, they have lost their vitality.

There are about one or two hundred prickly pear trees in this prickly pear forest, which is enough for everyone to drink, although the water tastes a bit weird.

After drinking the water, the others cut down a few fresh prickly pear plants and put the water bottle inside to fill it up.

"Lu Daoyou, why don't you drink?" Chen Yu asked.

Lu Chuxue's face was full of black lines: "No need, I've had enough just now!"

Chen Yu finally showed a long-lost smile on his face. As long as they have the help of this wave of prickly pears, their number will not decrease. There must be no problem walking to the edge of the Chiyang Desert.

Everyone drank enough water, and the horses began to neigh happily.

Lu Chuxue came over: "Chen Daoyou, you are going to enter the Chiyang Desert, shouldn't you make some preparations first?"

"Preparation? What preparation?" Chen Yu said.

"Of course, how to solve the problem of water source in the desert, and you also need to find guides and camels. If the horses go to the desert, they will probably die of thirst within three days of walking."

A word woke Chen Yu up, and he slapped Lu Chuxue's head vigorously.

"That's right, brother Lu who knows me, but where should we go to find a guide or a camel?" Chen Yu asked back.

"Yes, look ahead." After Lu Chuxue finished speaking, she pointed her finger to a place more than 100 meters ahead.

A group of Bactrian camels passed by, looking like a caravan, and judging by their attire, they didn't even look like people on the Qingyun Plateau.

"Friends in front, please stay."

Gu Tie roared loudly, and the sound was heard five or six miles away.

The caravan in front was originally walking slowly, but when they heard the sound, they speeded up instantly, looking like they were about to run away.

"Hey! Didn't you hear me when I asked you to stay?"

With Chen Yu's order, everyone mounted their horses and galloped towards the caravan.

The survival ability of camels in the desert is indeed higher than that of horses, but the speed is always a big difference.

It only took Chen Yu and his party more than ten minutes to catch up with the caravan.

The leader of the caravan was an old man with a melon skin hat on his head, staring at Chen Yu and his party with vigilant eyes.

And in his caravan, there are about 40 camels and a dozen guys who look like bodyguards.

Seeing Chen Yu's 50 people rushing over, these bodyguards put their hands on the handle of the knife and looked at Chen Yu vigilantly.

"Several kings, we have already paid taxes to the Qingyun tribe before us, do you want to do it again?" the old man said with a crying face.

"Pay taxes?" Chen Yu was taken aback. He hadn't heard such a modern vocabulary for a long time.

"Old man, we have no malicious intentions. We just want to borrow some of your camels. As for the cost..."

Chen Yu originally wanted to say that they can set the fee freely, but then Chen Yu remembered that he didn't know what currency was exchanged on Qingyun Plateau, so he could only shut up temporarily.

"In terms of cost, I will try my best to satisfy you. Even if we can't meet it, we will exchange it with something of equivalent value. We will never be robbers."

Chen Yu's words reassured the old man a little. He looked at his camel team and said in a calm tone: "Then how many camels do you want?"

"Chen Yu did the math, let's do it, I just need ten camels, because we are going deep into the Chiyang Desert to find something." Chen Yu said.

"What? You're going to the depths of the Chiyang Desert. Don't be kidding. I've been to the edge of the Chiyang Desert a few times, but there are always sandstorms there. Sometimes I can't find a single plant even if I walk hundreds of miles. If you go deep, you will die." The old man persuaded.

He also had his own intentions in saying this. Chen Yu and his group looked like beggars at first glance, how could they have the ability to buy ten camels from them, so he wanted to persuade Chen Yu and the others to give up this idea, and then he would also There is no need to exchange with Chen Yu.

Otherwise, if Chen Yu and his party were determined to enter the Chiyang Desert after eating bangs, these guys might snatch the camels from them.

"Oh! So the old man has been to the Chiyang Desert?" Chen Yu sighed, and respectfully got off the horse.

The old man secretly rejoiced that he had indeed been to the Chiyang Desert several times, but it was purely bragging to say that he went hundreds of miles deep. Maotou boy gave up his plan to go to the Chiyang Desert, so he wouldn't have to lose ten camels.

"That's right. In terms of a radius of several hundred miles, there are no more than ten people who have entered the Chiyang Desert, and this old man happens to be one of them." The old man said proudly.

Chen Yu was overjoyed, hurried over and patted the old man on the shoulder.

"Great, we are short of a guide, how about this, as long as you can lead us into the Chiyang Desert, when you come back, all the losses of your caravan will be on my head." Chen Yu said pleasantly .

As soon as his words fell, the old man's face instantly collapsed.

"Little brother, I was just bragging. I have never been to the Chiyang Desert!" the old man said with a mournful face.

Chen Yu didn't believe it. He boasted well before, but now it's too late to regret it.

"I don't care. Anyway, I have already borrowed your camels, including your bodyguards in the caravan. We have also borrowed your camels. You have to go if you want to go, or you have to go if you don't." After Chen Yu finished speaking, 50 The man directly pulled out the dick.

Especially Gu Tie, the two sledgehammers in his hands frightened the dozen or so businessmen, their hands loosened from the handle of the knife, their faces were pale and bloodless.

"But old man, don't worry, I said that all the losses of your caravan this time will be mine, and it will be all mine, and I will never renege on it." In order to make this group of people more active, Chen Yu gave another He would have a bit of a headache if he paid a bad check later, so that this group of people would not run away or make trouble on the way.

Under the coercion of force, Chen Yu forcibly reached a consensus with the caravan.

Chapter 1697 Horse City

The caravan, which was heading south, could only follow Chen Yu and his group and continue northward.

"Old man, are there any tribes or cities ahead?" Chen Yu asked.

"Why do you ask this?" the old man said vigilantly.

"Since we are going to enter the Chiyang Desert, we must collect some supplies, such as fruits, water, kettles and other things are essential." Chen Yu replied.

"Oh, no." The old man said simply.

He was panicking with anger now, if he hadn't seen Chen Yu's large number of people, he might have rushed over to fight Chen Yu for his life.

Why didn't Chen Yu understand what the old man was thinking? He deliberately said to himself: "In this case, we still have to enter the Chiyang Desert. Even if we die of thirst, we must not let go of this mission."
