917 Negotiation (2)
"Scorpion Man, Poison and Earth, blue-quality, Intermediate Level 3…"
They began to report that they had seen some information on the Beast Taming Index.
"What about the camels?"
Gu Yunfan glanced at his Beast Taming Index.
"Two-headed Camel, White Quality, Beginner Level 2."
These orcs were at most Level 4, which made everyone feel relieved.
Then, Zhuge Qing took a few steps forward and shouted.
"We're from the grasslands. We mean no harm."
"Get out of here!"
"F*ck! This thing can speak human language?!"
"You're too ignorant. Many beasts know how to speak it!"
Iron Axe still did not understand.
"But… we're in the desert. How can it do that?"
"I think it's acceptable for the Bear Man or Forest Elf in the forest to speak human language, but why are the beastmen in the depths of the desert 200 to 300 kilometers away the same?"
"And it sounds like it's even more fluent."
Zhuge Qing did not expect this either.
However, when he thought about how many strange things had already happened in the Beast Taming World, so what if the other party knew how to speak the human language?
This even made it easier for them to communicate.
"Um, we want to enter the oasis and take a look. Is that okay?"
The leading Beginner Level 4 dog-headed man looked at the creatures that looked very similar to the murals in their capital. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at the sky in the direction where Zhuge Qing and the others had come from and nodded.
"You can come in, but not those iron lumps."
Regarding this request, Zhuge Qing and the others agreed without thinking.
After all, these cars were not very important.
After the group gathered, they walked towards the Kobolds.
"I want to ask, are you… humans?"
Hearing the question of the Kobold leader, Zhuge Qing and the others were stunned.
The beasts in the beast world knew humans?
It had to be known that someone had said on the forum a long time ago that when they asked their beasts if they knew about humans, they would receive a negative answer.
Including those beastmen and beasts.
In the end, they encountered beastmen that asked if they were human. It was quite strange.
"You… know about humans?"
"We do!"
The leader of the kobolds looked at Zhuge Qing and the others eagerly and said.
"In our royal city, the murals depict humans, just like you."
"They don't have a beast's head, but… um… it's different from us anyway."
This made everyone feel very strange.
"Is your capital far from here?"
"If we keep going, we'll be there when there's only half a sun."
"Uh… what does this mean?"
The dog-headed man immediately understood that these humans did not know how to count the time.
"It means that if we set off now, we'll arrive when there's only half the sun left on the horizon."
Looking at the sun in the distance, Zhuge Qing came to a realization.
In other words, it would take hours to walk?
That was actually not far.
After all, they had a car.
"Just go straight?"
"Yes."
The group chatted as they walked into the oasis.
Looking at these houses built of yellow sand behind the forest, everyone felt that it was very novel.
It was the same for these beastmen.
Basically, all of them followed Zhuge Qing and the others into the oasis. Then, all of them sized them up curiously.
After all, in terms of appearance, other than their heads being different, there was no difference.
That was why they did not make a move immediately.
"Why… are you all looking at us like that?"
The dog-headed man grinned. The sharp teeth in his mouth made Iron Axe a little nervous.
Needless to say, these beastmen looked very oppressive at close range.
"That's because we've never seen humans before. However, there have always been legends about humans in the capital. It's even said that our capital was built by humans and that we're also the descendants of humans."
Hearing this ridiculous reason, Zhuge Qing found it hard to believe.
"Do… Do you all believe in this legend?"
"Of course!"
The dog-headed man pointed at the two-meter-tall hut behind him.
"We can only build houses like this unless some of our people have special abilities to build more complex things out of sand."
"However, our royal city is made of stone. Furthermore, it's very, very big. It's many times bigger than this oasis."
"Even members of the royal family don't have the ability to build that kind of building."
Zhuge Qing scratched his head as she listened to the dog-headed man's abstract description.
However, he was too lazy to think about it.
At the very least, these beastmen did not seem to have any ill intentions towards them. That was enough.
"By the way, I just saw you all preparing to leave. Why?"
Hearing Zhuge Qing mention this, the dog-headed man's expression changed. Then, he pointed in the direction where Zhuge Qing and the others had come from.
"When you came over from there, did you encounter a sandstorm?"
These words shocked Zhuge Qing and the others.
"Yeah."
"How do you know?"
"Ha, after living in the desert for decades, everyone has this ability. Otherwise, we would have long become food for that big bug."
Big bug?
Was that referring to the Yellow Sand Tyrannosaurus?
"The big bug you're talking about, is it the kind with horns on its head and claws on its abdomen and scales all over its body?"
Hearing Zhuge Qing's description, the dog-headed people, or rather, the surrounding beastmen, all revealed extremely terrified expressions.
"You… You've already seen that Devil Worm?!"
"Uh, if that's what you're talking about, we did see it, but it was a little far away."
"How far was it from here when you saw it?"
"About ten kilometers?"
"???"
Obviously, these dog-headed people did not know what Zhuge Qing was trying to say.
It hurriedly shouted at the surrounding beastmen.
"Leave, let's leave quickly!"
"The Devil Worm is coming!"
Obviously, the deterrence of the Devil Worm was far greater than the attraction of humans like Zhuge Qing.
Therefore, the dozens of people surrounding them quickly dispersed like birds and beasts.
"You guys should leave quickly too…"
"Every time the Devil Worm appears, it won't stop until it destroys a few oases."
"Have you guys never thought about catching it?"
When the dog-headed man heard Zhuge Qing's question, he immediately lay down.
He said helplessly.
"How?"
"Since you've all seen it, you naturally know that it's not something we can deal with."
"What about the Royal City?"
"Not even the Royal City can do anything about it. They can only guarantee that the Devil Worm can't enter, but they can't guarantee that the people outside won't be eaten."
"There is no army?"
"There is, but even if they go, they'll only be fed to the worm."
Looking at the pessimistic Kobolds, Zhuge Qing did not know what to say.
After all, the Yellow Sand Tyrannosaurus was indeed not something they could resist.
"Then thank you for clearing my doubts. Hurry up and go on your way, or it will be too late later."
"What about you guys?"
"We are going too."
"Sitting on that iron lump?"
"Yeah."
"Alright, good luck!"
"Goodbye~"
Seeing the dog-headed man trotting towards his two-headed camel and getting on his horse, Zhuge Qing waved at the dog-headed man who was looking back.
After their figures disappeared from the oasis, the group began to head back to the car.
At the same time, they did not forget to discuss their next arrangements.
"What do you all think? Are we going to the Royal City to take a look, or are we going back directly?"
"The density of beasts in this desert doesn't seem to be high. We didn't encounter many wild beasts along the way."
"I didn't even see the Earth Dragon Beast."
As soon as Zhuge Qing finished speaking, Marvin expressed that he still wanted to move forward.
"I'm going to find the Earth Dragon Beast."
"There's nothing on the way. I'll go to the Royal City to take a look."
"You don't have to worry about me. With Mark around, our safety is not a problem, so there's no need to worry."
Wang Zhen and the others looked at each other and finally chose to continue forward.
Then it was Gu Yunfan and Xing Rong's turn.
