The fish on the water surface trembled, and the mulberry slowly lifted the rod and closed the line. After a few moves up and down, he pulled a big fish up and placed it in the bucket beside him.

Then he put away the fishing rod and turned around.

At this time, Fang Chang was looking into the distance, so Sang Ziping asked, "Where are they?"

Standing at the bow of the boat, reaching out and pointing in one direction, Fang Chang said, "There is the magical energy that surges into the sky. It seems that it is the place where the enemy's training is. I didn't expect that they would not hide it at all."

Sang Ziping understood this very well: "The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, so it is difficult for practitioners to happen to pass by and meet them. Moreover, with the power of the enemy, they are not afraid of being discovered by these sporadic people."

The boat turned in a direction, without sails or oars, heading towards its destination through waves.

Fang Chang took the fish bucket beside Sang Ziping, looked at it, and then took out the big fish inside to check it.

In the past few days, the dry food on the boat has been eaten up and the firewood has been used up. The two of them have not been docked or found the island to replenish fuel, so they caught the fish that was used as cooking ingredients and could only be made into fish sashimi and eaten raw.

Fortunately, both of them have a deep cultivation level and are not afraid of parasites at all. Instead, they can enjoy the umami taste of fish sashimi with confidence.

Although the monster stronghold is around this residence sea, it is still a distance from the coast.

When they finished eating the big fish that had been sliced ​​into thin slices, they also came to the edge of the seaside. They found a flat place to land. Fang Chang stretched out his hand, picked up the boat, and stuffed it directly into the green cloth package behind him. This made Sang Ziping next to him slightly stunned.

Fang Chang smiled and said, "Anyway, the package can be packed, maybe it can be used next time, so as not to search again."

Sang Ziping had no objection to this, so he nodded and followed.

The sea here is still a saltwater area, so there is no vegetation next to it, and there is no oasis or human eyes. However, there are a lot of salt flowers condensed on the stones on the shore.

"How far is it?"

"It's estimated to be dozens of miles." Fang Chang said.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them let go and can walk the last dozen miles in just a few hours.

…………

But the accident came very quickly.

"There is an oasis ahead." Fang Chang had good eyesight. When he crossed a sand dune, he was the first to see the oasis in the distance.

The sand dunes here are relatively fixed, and in a low-lying area, the groundwater protrudes here, forming a small pool, all of which are fresh water.

Although there are no rivers or streams, the groundwater here is very abundant. The pool is always unstable. There are small pieces of farmland and some shrubs around it. There are more than a dozen families, and the house styles are common in the Western Regions.

But before long, Fang Chang realized something was wrong.

The aura above several families was very disordered, and there were black air tangles, which seemed very dangerous. Immediately, he saw a monster holding weapons and dragged someone out of a house. With extraordinary ear strength, he could still hear the monsters scolding.

Fang Chang immediately hid himself and Sang Ziping's figures and then accelerated his pace.

The person who was dragged out of his home was crying and begging for mercy:

"King! King! I'll beg for forgiveness. There is no harvest this year. I really can't get it out of my life. There is still food tribute there... I'd like to give it a few days. I'll pay it after I've entered the warehouse this year."

"How can this be done?! Don't even think about it!" The monster waved his weapons and shouted, "Since you haven't starved to death, it proves that you must have something to eat. And you have something to eat, but you are reluctant to give tribute. It seems that your conscience is broken! Not loyal enough! Hand over the hidden food!!"

As he said that, he wanted to raise the weapon in his hand and give this "crawling" human on the ground a bit of cruelty.

When the people on the ground saw the monster lifting the knife, they were very frightened. He closed his eyes and prepared to accept his fate to welcome his end.

As a result, the screams rang out, but they did not come from my own mouth.

He quickly opened his eyes to check, and then found that the monster who was standing in front of him just now, was shaking his might and even preparing to hurt him, had already fallen to the ground and no longer heard. Not far away, two strangers appeared, one was in a sleek shirt and a long sword in his back, with a smile on his face.

Suddenly he was saved, and he was stunned.

When the two people in front of him went to take care of other monsters in the village, he realized that he quickly got up from the ground, and spoke loudly to help them catch monsters.

After the fire was extinguished, Fang Chang came over and asked:

"What are these evil animals doing in the village? Why do they ask for food and prepare to kill people?"

The two masters on the opposite side did not ask for their names, so he didn't want to inform them himself, but just explained: "There are 20 or 30 miles south of this place, and there are many kings living in it. They practiced their troops all day long and were in a huge momentum."

"It is said that because of excessive consumption, they destroyed the forces within a hundred miles, and then sent a team to collect money and silk everywhere. Moreover, they were anxious to urge them to ignore the amount, just like before, if my family could not provide tribute grain, they would be beaten to death as a typical example to alert others."

Nodded, Fang Chang pulled out the best spirit from the pile of monsters behind, and asked a little bit of a question, but they all corresponded to it.

He also specifically asked about the location and location of the training hall, but the monsters in front of him had no sense of confidentiality. Under the threat of life, they just used movements to intimidate them, and then they said everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

It's in the sand cave ahead.

Since the headquarters has a lot of demand for trained monsters, this hall is running overloaded.

This caused logistical tension, so they had to organize their men and go down the mountain to collect grain. Unexpectedly, they happened to be met by two practitioners, and the next path was even more difficult to confirm.

Seeing that the outside was calm, the other residents in the village slowly let go of their worries and walked outside vigilantly.

Someone took food to Fang Chang and Sang Ziping:

"Thank you for your hard work, I'll have some food to keep my stomach up."

After saying that, he walked over with a large square wooden plate, which was like a hill, with some pasta and the smell of mutton coming through.

"I just took it out of the naan pit and it was a little burnt. It was all because of these debt collectors. When I saw them coming to the village, I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out."

"Well, delicious!"

Fang Chang and Sang Ziping immediately took out all the monsters, and each reached out to take two of them to eat them. After tasting the wonderful taste, they praised them repeatedly.

The small buns have square appearance, thin and tough skin, and are filled with fat and thin lamb, as well as bulbs of some kind of plant, and celery. After grilling, although it is oily, it is not greasy or odorless at all, and the skin is crispy and tender, and the taste is delicious.

Then, they politely rejected the enthusiastic villagers and expressed that they wanted to go to the sand cave to explore.
