I am a living immortal.
Chapter 264 The Kingdom Where God Watches
Faced with such a murderous man, the sand wolves showed ferocious looks and pounced on the strong man. However, the strong man was not afraid at all and just stood where he was.
“Swish! Swish! Swish!!”
Several sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and several spears shot out from behind the strong man. In an instant, they pierced through the sand wolves. Several sand wolves died on the spot without warning. The remaining few had lost their previous ferocity and retreated with low growls.
Seeing this, the wolf king ignored Zheng Chun and let out a long roar. The sand wolves retreated vigilantly. The wolf king glanced at the strong man and followed the wolf pack away.
A group of people ran out from behind Zheng Yu. They pulled their spears out of the sand, and some of them pulled out their daggers to deal with the dead sand wolves.
They were the water chasers who came after hearing the wolf howls.
"Thank you." Zheng Yu walked out first and bowed solemnly.
"Outsider?" The burly man looked Zheng Yu up and down and asked.
"This..." Zheng Yu looked at the guide, and Zheng Chun came to Zheng Yu's side. The strong man in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling, as if the person standing in front of him was not a human, but a dangerous bull. He compared them and he was not even sure he could protect the young man and the young lady from the shooting man.
The guide immediately came out and handed over the pass in his hand, which recorded the country they came from.
The burly man looked at them and said, "Those are the outsiders. Where are you going?"
After hearing the strong man's words, several people realized immediately that they had been driven by wolves and accidentally came to the mysterious oasis in the center of the desert.
After a brief description of the situation between the two sides, Zheng Yu learned that the strong man's name was Kuya, and he was the leader of this team of water chasers. They came here because they heard the howling of sand wolves. According to common sense, there were few sand wolves here a few years ago, not to mention that the howling sounded like an attack, so they came to take a look.
As for the outside world, the king actually took a laissez-faire attitude. This oasis was a gathering place given to them by God. The priests had prayed and even asked the divine guards living in the Milky Way, but the answer they got was, "Let them decide for themselves."
So he is not against the outside world, but he is not sure about the outside world's attitude towards this oasis. This oasis is too rich, and it is inevitable that people will have bad intentions.
Therefore, the water chasers are constantly exploring outward, and the upper class of the Central Oasis has actually made preparations for both situations. They are not afraid of war or peace. Since the discovery of iron ore in the desert, the technology of iron smelting has been continuously improved, and the strength of the Central Oasis has also increased. What's more, they still have the Mirage Pearl given by Su Mu.
This time, the water chasers accidentally encountered outsiders, which actually accelerated the connection between the central oasis and the outside world.
When the Water Chaser brought this caravan into Oasis City, it still caused a huge commotion.
Although most of the people living in the central desert came from all directions, they are no longer the same people they used to be after being isolated from the outside world for ten years.
So the arrival of outsiders naturally attracted onlookers.
"Actually, apart from the Zheng family, there isn't much difference between people from outside the family, whether in appearance or living habits."
But this sprawling oasis still shocked Zheng Yu. He was not born in a desert, but lived in a country with a well-established system, a large population, and abundant resources. He himself was born into a wealthy and prestigious family, so after entering the desert, he inevitably looked down on these self-proclaimed countries, but in fact they were just city-state oases the size of a continent or a county.
This mentality does not come from personality, but is the product of comparison.
But at this moment, after entering this oasis, this contempt disappeared. If the strength of those water-chasers was an exception, then this country built with clay bricks and stones and full of exotic style could be called a country.
Whether it was the scattered small oases surrounding this super-large oasis or the super-large oasis itself, they all demonstrated the perfection of the system, the abundance of resources, and the formidable fighting power...
Because he saw the patrol guards wearing leather armor and holding spears. What Zheng Yu saw were standard iron spears, close-fitting leather armor, and the well-trained spirit. The eyes cannot deceive people.
But what Zheng Chun saw was strength. Among this well-trained team, several people gave him the same feeling as the strong man named Kuya, or even more dangerous. This made Zheng Chun very anxious and insecure, exactly the same feeling as when a pack of wolves looked around.
He kept rehearsing in his mind how he would take the young master and young lady and escape if the team suddenly attacked. Yes, escape, not protect them.
The result is failure without exception, the only difference is the length of time.
Among all the teams he had ever met in his life, only the personal guards of King Yue could look down upon such a team. They were elite soldiers who had fought in hundreds of battles and had crawled out of a pile of dead bodies. He actually met such a team in the barren desert. No, this desert was not barren.
Zheng Yu sensed Zheng Chun's anxiety and patted him on the shoulder, urging him not to act rashly. He then stepped forward and said, "We are new here, so please forgive us. I don't know what taboos we may have violated. I hope the general can remind us of them."
In his imagination, these people were probably here to ask him to pay protection fees, so he took out a brocade bag from his waist and handed it over.
The leader of the guards laughed, took it, shook it, and said, "How can you outsiders be so wealthy?"
Just when Zheng Yu's heart skipped a beat and he didn't understand what the other party meant.
The other party glanced at Zheng Yu and then at Zheng Chun behind him and said, "Don't be nervous, we won't do anything to you. I heard from Kuya that our king wants to see you."
After saying that, he swung his hand quickly, and Zheng Chun came in front of Zheng Yu and swung his knife at the moment the other party swung his arm, but when he saw what it was, he quickly moved the knife away, causing the brocade bag full of jewels to hit his chest heavily, knocking him several meters away.
Zheng Chun suddenly looked at the guard commander.
The guard leader smiled and said, "I told you, don't be so nervous. Also, this is a country under the watchful eyes of the gods, so put away your outward tricks."
You can pick a few people, after all, you are the first caravan to arrive here, and our king wants to know the situation outside, so follow me."
After the guard leader finished speaking, he turned around and left. Several members of the guard made way for him. Zheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, gave a look to the guide and his sister, asking them to follow him closely, and then told the others to wait for them there, and then he raised his legs and followed the guard leader.
At this moment, Su Mu was watching this scene in the crowd.
