Tiger Roars in China

Li Meng's team headed westward, and the scenery became more and more desolate.

At the beginning, there were endless grasslands and mountains, with occasional Gobi deserts.

Occasionally you can see some small tribes, herders and herds of cattle and sheep.

However, as more and more wastelands and deserts appeared, the population became increasingly sparse.

When we reached the edge of the desert, we could no longer see anyone.

However, along the way, through purchases and exchanges, they had stored up a large amount of food and water.

The number of carriages has increased to eight, and the number of unicorns has increased to thirty-two.

Except for the sixteen unicorns pulling the carts, there are still enough horses for each person.

Along the way, there were some small tribes who coveted their property and unicorns, but Li Meng scared them away with just a slight display of strength.

After all, survival is already difficult in this remote place, and they don't want to bring disaster to the tribe because of momentary greed.

They stopped at the junction of the Gobi Desert and the desert.

According to Feng Siniang, we just have to wait for a specific date and time.

Along the way, they kept asking the locals if anyone had been to Rock City.

However, everyone has heard of the legend of Rock City.

However, there are almost no people who have actually been to Rock City.

However, they did confirm one piece of news: a huge caravan once entered the desert and never came out again.

This also verified what Haikule said, he did not lie.

Li Meng became even more convinced that Fairy Baiyu was in Panshi City.

Only such an isolated place is suitable for the White Jade Fairy to live in.

They lived in this camp for more than a month.

Although Li Meng was very anxious, she saw that every day Feng Siniang took Lao Shitou and her followers deep into the desert, and came back covered in sand.

Li Meng didn't have the heart to urge her anymore, after all, Feng Si Niang was not idle either.

Old Stone played a key role in choosing the campsite.

Before this, they had encountered many places that were blocked by rocky mountains and suitable for camping in sheltered areas.

However, all of them were denied by Lao Shitou.

Finally, Lao Shitou chose this barren beach on the edge of the desert.

There is no shelter from the wind and no grass here, so it is not suitable for camping at all.

But he is a desert expert. After discussing it with Feng Siniang, Li Meng decided to listen to Lao Shitou.

After they set up camp here, they followed Old Stone's instructions and actually dug out a clear spring from a pile of rocks.

This is really rare!

In the desert, the most scarce thing is not food, but water.

Li Meng and Shuiyue also knew this, so they carried a lot of water.

After all, there are not only humans drinking, but also so many unicorns!

With this clear spring, big problems can be solved.

Because the excavation was too deep, in order to prevent collapse, they deliberately built a well with stones.

Anyway, the thing that is most abundant in the Gobi Desert is stones.

On a full moon night, the wind direction suddenly changed.

The howling north wind blew all night long.

Sand and rocks were flying everywhere, and their camp was almost buried by the sand.

Fortunately, there are a lot of stones here. When setting up camp, they listened to Old Stone and worked tirelessly to build a circle of stone walls around the camp to prevent wind and sand.

It was this circle of stone walls that blocked the wind and sand and prevented them from being buried.

Early in the morning, the wind died down a bit.

Feng Siniang ignored the wind and sand, and continued into the desert with Lao Shitou and her followers.

Before noon, Feng Siniang and a few others had already returned on horseback.

As soon as they returned to the camp, Feng Siniang called out, "Li Meng, we've found the signpost, we can set off now."

Everyone immediately started packing up and getting ready to hit the road.

After all, they have lived here for more than a month and have developed feelings for this camp.

Especially that clear spring, it is so rare.

In order to prevent the invasion of wind and sand, they also used a huge stone slab to cover the wellhead above the clear spring.

By the time everything was packed up, it was already afternoon.

Li Meng was extremely anxious and didn't want to wait any longer.

He gave the order to set off directly, intending to advance overnight.

In fact, Feng Siniang also planned to march at night.

After all, the road sign could be buried by wind and sand at any time.

Taking advantage of the road signs, if you move forward one more step, you will be closer to Rock City.

It was already dusk when the team entered the desert.

Lao Shitou asked everyone to tie all the carriages and horses together with ropes.

Otherwise, once the sandstorm comes, it will easily scatter everyone.

Several wagons were filled with water, and all the food was transferred to the horses.

In the desert, water is much more important than food.

Except for Mrs. Tito who still rode in a carriage, the rest of the people basically had women riding horses and men walking.

After being together for a long time, they no longer distinguish between high and low.

Speaking of nobility, the one with the most noble status would have to be Li Meng.

But along the way, no matter what the weather was, Li Meng insisted on walking.

Yu Zhenqiqige's four maids had the lowest status, basically equivalent to slaves.

But along the way, they basically rode in horse-drawn carriages and did not do much work.

The same treatment as noble ladies.

After entering the desert, Feng Siniang and Lao Shitou were still leading the way.

Li Meng's horse, Black-eyed Snowy Blue, is almost becoming Feng Siniang's exclusive horse.

Marching at night is actually not as difficult as imagined.

Because of the moonstone lighting, you don't have to worry about not being able to see the road clearly.

Besides, where would there be roads in the desert? All they had were traces of people who had walked there before, serving as road signs.

It was almost midnight when Feng Siniang and Lao Shitou suddenly stopped and said to Li Meng, "Li Meng, let's rest here for half the night and then set off again."

Li Meng asked in surprise, "Why?"

Feng Siniang pointed to a short tree stump not far away and said, "Because we only found the first signpost."

Li Meng, Shuiyue and a few others all rushed over.

The tree stump is not actually short, it just looks like a short stump because it is buried by wind and sand, with only a small part exposed.

The tree stump is full of traces of wind and sand erosion.

In the cross section of the tree stump, a pointed stone was embedded by someone unknown.

Feng Siniang pointed at the pointed stone and said, “The direction the arrow is pointing to is the direction we are heading.

We need to stop temporarily and wait until we find the next signpost before setting off again.

Once you take the wrong road, it will be difficult to find Rock City again!"

After hearing what Feng Si Niang said, Li Meng immediately agreed to take a rest.
