Chapter 280 The Miserable Sand Bandit Female Soldiers Camp
Although the Takla Desert is only the tenth largest in the world, it is the second largest moving desert in the world.
As the name suggests, Takla is a moving desert, and its range changes depending on the direction of the wind.
What’s even more amazing is that even some secret places in the Takla Desert will change their locations as the entire desert moves.
However, the restricted area that Ye Ning is going to this time is different from those secret places. It will not change its location with the movement of the desert.
The Takla penalty area is fixed at that position and will not change at all.
The entire restricted area occupies about one percent of the desert, which is not a small area, so it is relatively easy to find.
For the two elite mixed-breed camels under Ye Ning and Chu Mo, finding the restricted area was not a problem at all.
Before Chu Mo left, he specifically asked Huang Xiaohu. At this time, the straight-line distance between the Takla restricted area and the Death Town was about 400 kilometers.
Of course, it is impossible for them to walk in a straight line along the way.
There are many dangers in the desert.
For example, large-scale quicksand, sandstorms, groups of desert beasts, and some sand bandits roaming in the desert.
There are both natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Things like quicksand are easier to deal with. Ye Ning can use his flying skill to fly over with Chu Mo and the two camels.
Once the sandstorm in the Takla Desert reaches a certain level, not to mention the Tianxiang realm, even the Zunzun realm will have to take a detour.
As for the group of strange beasts, Chu Mo and Ye Ning also followed the principle of fighting if possible and avoiding if possible, and saving as much physical strength and star power as possible.
However, Ye Ning was a little confused by the behavior of the sand bandits.
How to put it, a huge group of people rushed over, and after seeing their situation clearly, they immediately turned around and ran away, leaving Ye Ning confused.
"Sister Mo, these people?"
"Sand bandits are desert robbers. They are one of the most feared targets for adventurers in the desert. Some of them are law-abiding and only seek money, but some have no bottom line and want both money and people."
"Then why did they come here and run away again?"
Hearing Ye Ning's question, Chu Mo laughed, then patted the camel under him: "Elite hybrid camels, this kind of camel is rare, plus the sign hanging on the camel's head, they dare not provoke the sand bandits at all. Moreover, the sand bandits who have been in the Takla Desert for a while know that our imperial military acts in groups most of the time, and they are definitely defeated in group actions, and those who act alone are even more terrifying. In the Takla Desert, there is almost only one possibility that a soldier will act alone."
Having said that, Chu Mo kept the question in suspense.
"Ah, Sister Mo, please continue." Seeing Chu Mo suddenly stop talking, Ye Ning felt as uncomfortable as a kitten being tickled.
It's really annoying to stop talking suddenly!
"Hehe, let me put it this way. You also know that our military is famous for protecting its own people. When the military first came here to station, those sand bandits dared to provoke them, thinking that the military could not do anything to them. After all, the Takla Desert is large and it is not easy to search.
At the beginning, it was just harassment, and the military did not fight back much. Anyway, there was no major loss, so they still focused on the mission, until one time a patrol team of ten people was wiped out.
Then the leader above got angry, and directly selected a dozen generals from various military regions of the empire to come to the Takla Desert, and conduct a carpet search for the sand bandits who killed the patrol team. During that time, almost all the sand bandits were defeated, and the sand bandit who wiped out the patrol team was completely destroyed. After that, no sand bandit dared to touch the military anymore.
After that, whenever something happened to the military, a few generals would come to patrol Takla, and the sand bandits were almost extinct here.
Especially those sand bandits who were famous for killing people for fun, they were almost wiped out, and now the remaining sand bandits basically just robbed money, and some even offered to send the money back to the desert. So many years ago, there was a tacit agreement around the Takla Desert that if you encounter any danger, you should quickly look for sand bandits. If there are any, go there immediately, and you will have a high chance of survival. "
Chu Mo explained to Ye Ning while laughing, and Ye Ning also laughed after listening.
It seems that these sand bandits have been turned into a half-civilian rescue team by the military?
Wow, they are worthy of being the Imperial Military.
"And, because when something happens to the military, the bandits will suffer. Anyway, the higher-ups believe that no matter what the cause of the accident is, it's all the bandits' fault, so once the bandits see the military in danger, they will come to help immediately. And then they don't dare to ask the military for money, so they almost work for nothing. But later the leader said that we soldiers should be reasonable and can't let people work for nothing. If something really happens, we still have to pay the money we should pay. The specific price is based on five years of military salary, and the military can reimburse us after we pay it."
"..."
Awesome!
After listening to Chu Mo, Ye Ning couldn't help but sigh that the military of the Xian Qin Empire was really strong.
Sand bandits, in normal novels, this is a purely black business, and they are labeled as doing all kinds of evil things such as murder, arson, rape, looting and so on.
But what about here?
Just from Chu Mo's words, Ye Ning felt that the Sand Bandit's thief should now be the Knight Bandit's thief.
Over the next day or so, Ye Ning sensed that the group of sand bandits who had escaped at the beginning did not go far. Instead, they were following them from a distance.
At first, Ye Ning was a little surprised, wondering if he had encountered a special case among the sand bandits, that is, the real black sand bandits.
Chu Mo waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, this is normal. I guess this group of sand bandits figured it out when they ran away. If we are really a general who came to sweep the desert, there is no need to ride camels. They followed us because they were afraid that we would be in danger. After all, there are only two of us and it's easy for something to happen. If they are involved, it will be hard to explain. It's better for them to escort us."
Well, Ye Ning was really eye-opening. These sand bandits are quite cute?
After walking for about half a day, the group of sand bandits following behind them finally disappeared.
Because an oasis appeared in front of Ye Ning and his team, and next to the oasis was a large camp with the imperial military flag.
They had completed their "escort" mission and naturally retired.
Afterwards, Chu Mo and Ye Ning quickly arrived near the camp.
There seemed to be several soldiers having a barbecue in the camp.
"Sister Bai!"
From a distance, Chu Mo waved towards the camp.
"Xiao Mo?"
Among the soldiers who were barbecuing, a female soldier stood up and looked at Chu Mo and Ye Ning outside the camp with surprise.
Chu Mo turned over and got off the camel, then hugged "Sister Bai" happily.
It was at this time that Ye Ning realized that this Sister Bai was quite tall. She was almost a head taller than Chu Mo, and was probably about the same height as him.
Sister Bai's appearance is not the gentle one of traditional beauties, but her upright posture, good figure, and the support of her military uniform make her look quite heroic.
"Xiao Ning, come here quickly. Let me introduce you. This is the Western Theater Command's Special Colonel Bai Xiaojie. You can call her Sister Bai like I do. I never thought that we would be able to pass by Sister Bai's camp this time."
"Hello, Sister Bai." "Sister Bai, this is my brother in Huangjin City, Ye Ning."
"Brother?" Hearing Chu Mo's words, Bai Xiaojie showed a subtle smile on her face.
"Yeah, my little brother is a true genius, even better than me."
Looking at Chu Mo's somewhat proud look, the smile on Bai Xiaojie's face became even more subtle.
At the moment, Chu Mo was so happy that he didn't notice it, but Ye Ning behind him saw it.
It seems that Chu Mo and Bai Xiaojie have a very good relationship.
Because generally speaking, the smile that Bai Xiaojie had at that moment was called "Auntie's smile".
"Okay, sisters, let's get ready, we're going to have a party tonight!"
"Oh oh oh~"
Following Bai Xiaojie's loud shout, a number of soldiers, all female, emerged from the tents in the camp.
Wow, this made Ye Ning feel like he was in a country of women.
Later, as they chatted, Ye Ning finally found out that a few years ago, when Chu Mo was in the Takla Desert, he was with Bai Xiaojie.
Ye Ning finally understood why the military had begun exploring the Takla Desert many years ago.
Because of the existence of a special aura, some researchers have suggested that the entire Takla Desert may have once been a huge secret place.
Generally speaking, after the broken secret realm is integrated into the blue star, a special area will be formed, such as a restricted area or a dinosaur park, but in theory, the entrance to the secret realm will no longer appear in this area.
But new entrances to secret realms continue to appear within the Ketakla Desert.
However, apart from this contradiction, other characteristics of the area where the Broken Secret Realm was formed can match the situation in the Takla Desert.
So the secret realm researchers put forward a hypothesis.
That is, the secret realm before the Takla Desert is likely to be a very huge small world, or even a broken world that is very close to a complete world.
And before the world shattered and merged into the blue planet, there were many small worlds linked to it.
Later, the world where the Takla Desert was located was completely shattered for some reason and then accidentally merged into the Blue Star. The small worlds connected to the world where the Takla Desert was located turned into the secret realm in the current Takla Desert.
This assumption has been recognized by many people.
And there are some records in history that can illustrate this.
In history, there were civilizations in the area where the Takla Desert is located, such as the ancient kingdom of Loulan, the ancient kingdom of Jingjue, and so on.
These ancient civilizations disappeared inexplicably after existing for a period of time, which is very similar to the phenomenon of being covered by a secret realm and not having time to escape.
After learning about the situation, the military took action.
Its main purpose is to find the possible core origin of the Takla Desert after the world was shattered.
It is very likely the core origin of a world that is close to a complete world. It represents infinite possibilities. If it can be found, it will definitely bring great changes to the Blue Planet.
However, because the Takla Desert appeared very early, the core origin itself may be difficult to find. But as long as some of the core origin's aura or fragments are found, it can also bring great benefits to the research of the secret realm.
It’s a pity that after so many years, not only have we not found any fragments of the world’s core origin that may exist in the Takla Desert, but even the aura of its existence has not been found.
Many researchers even wonder if they might have been wrong from the beginning.
The Takla Desert is not a broken world that has merged into the Blue Star, but is a special terrain on the Blue Star itself?
So now the task of searching for the core origin fragments that may exist within the Takla Desert is no longer the most important thing.
Because during years of exploration, the military discovered that some special sands in the Takla Desert contain a special substance.
The military named that substance Forbidden Spirit Sand.
That's right!
This is the fundamental reason why the entry of spiritual energy into the Takla Desert is restricted.
This kind of forbidden spirit sand can be used in many places, and the most commonly used one is the special [Forbidden Magic] cards made with it as the material.
This kind of card is often distributed to card masters heading to the battlefield of all worlds. Its greatest function is to play an extremely important role against some special races in other worlds.
After all, as the most popular profession in the universe, the biggest feature of the card master is that he has no obvious weaknesses.
But this does not mean that the card master is the strongest. In fact, there are many world card masters who are only auxiliary. They have formed many special power systems because of their own world and race.
Among them, there are some professions that rely heavily on spiritual energy to fight, and the [Forbidden Magic] card is their nemesis.
Listening to Bai Xiaojie's introduction, Ye Ning suddenly understood some things that were previously unclear to him.
He heard from Zhao Kai that the race of the strong man who had set his sights on Blue Star seemed to be called the Spirit Race.
At the beginning, Zhao Kai did not say what the specific situation of the spirit race was, but now it seems that just from the name, it is very likely that they are a so-called race that is highly dependent on spiritual energy.
In other words, one of the reasons why that strong man set his sights on Blue Star might be because he discovered a card called the [Forbidden Magic] Card, or he directly discovered a material called Forbidden Spirit Sand?
Thinking about it this way, it made sense why he wanted to get Blue Star.
Of course, there must be some other reasons that Ye Ning doesn't know about. After all, if it was just this, why did they let the [Origin Sect] besiege Ji Wenlong in the first place?
Unfortunately, every time Ye Ning asked Zhao Kai out of curiosity, he would just smile and say nothing, and only told him to improve his strength. When he was strong enough, he would naturally be qualified to know.
If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it.
This has always been Ye Ning's style, and this is not the reason for him to come out this time.
After that, it quickly darkened and the banquet in the female soldiers' camp began.
