    When a faint white light appeared in the eastern sky, Tomad found a little green at the junction of dark blue and golden.  That was most likely a visual error caused by riding all night, but as time went by, the green spot gradually expanded, and finally an oasis composed of a few small desert plants and shallow lakes appeared in the field of vision.  Captain Chama let out a sigh of contentment. The fatigue of a night without sleep made his face a little pale, and his eyes were hunched deeper in the sockets, but his cheeks were already flushed with excitement.  "It's not the worst outcome after all." He said loudly and happily, his voice carried far away in the empty desert. "If the third oasis is also buried by sand, I really don't know what I should do!"  Tomad was not as excited as Captain Chama. Riding in the vast desert all night and conquering game copies all night were two different things. Now he felt that all the muscles in his body were sore, and the gryphon sword hanging on his waist was so heavy that he could only  I want to curse everything in front of me.  "This is great." Tomad said in a dry tone, "Then what should we do next? Stay here for a rest, or return to the convoy camp immediately?" Captain Chama hesitated for a moment, and he could see that he  I wanted to return to camp right away, but fatigue was definitely a problem that couldn¡¯t be ignored.  "We" He smacked his tongue, "We will rest in the oasis until noon. Captain Tomad, you rest first, and I will be on guard duty." Tomad muttered something, which seemed to be buried in his throat.  He said kind words, and then nodded hastily, "Okay, Captain Chama, when the shift changes, or if you can't hold it anymore, wake me up immediately." It seems that the night's hard work has finally paid off, and the two of them are in a good mood.  Talking and joking easily while heading towards the oasis.  But a few minutes later, Tomad, who smelled a faint smell of blood, suddenly closed his mouth, stepped on the stirrups, and stood up straight on the hunchback.  The black-furred two-humped wild camel immediately stopped, its four legs standing like four stiff wooden stakes.  Captain Chama was startled by his action, "Captain Tomad, what happened?" "Something is wrong. I just smelled a faint smell of blood." Tomad didn't look back.  He answered, while trying his best to look around the oasis, hoping to detect something strange.  However, as far as the eye can see there is nothing but long stretches of yellow sand and undulating dunes, and the low bushes and clear shallow lakes cannot hide the bodies of any large animals - or people.  Captain Chama couldn¡¯t make the same gaze. His riding skills were far better than Tomad¡¯s, but the wild camel under his crotch would not be obedient.  So he jumped off the hunchback, tightened the reins of the beast, shook his head and said, "I didn't smell anything, and it's hard to smell blood in the desert, Captain Tomad. No matter what animal it is,  If you die, you will be eaten clean by sand lizards, vultures or hyenas within a few hours, leaving only a white skeleton. "The pilgrim's special meditation method can greatly improve the sense of sight, hearing and smell, but Tomad.  Obviously such a reason cannot be given directly.  "Captain Chama, I hope I am mistaken, but if it is true, then this oasis may not be safe." He turned over and jumped off his hunchback. When his feet stepped on the yellow sand, he almost fell due to stiffness and soreness.  .  "I don't recommend continuing to approach the oasis. There is a way to observe the surrounding situation. Captain Chama, could you please help me be vigilant?" Captain Chama grinned in disapproval, but he had no intention of opposing Tomad.  How to do it, "Okay, Captain Tomad, I listen to you." He tied the reins of the two wild camels together, and then pulled out the thick-edged scimitar from his waist, "But it's best to be faster."  De was not prepared to waste time, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger, making him feel knots in his intestines.  After sitting down on the ground, it only took him ten seconds to enter a meditative state. The surrounding environment unfolded in front of him from a strange perspective, as if he was overlooking the earth from a very high place, covering a radius of several kilometers. After strengthening his mental power,  , and you can enlarge a certain place to the point where every detail is visible.  This skill was named "Eye of the Sky" by Tomad. It is actually the product of the failure of the pilgrim's advanced meditation. The mental power that should have been gathered into one point became dispersed, making it impossible to use the pilgrim's exclusive secret method.  .  For people who are not mentally strong enough, the celestial eye can only see things tens of meters around, which is not as convenient as the naked eye, and it takes a lot of time to enter the meditative state, but for Tomad, day after day,  The use of the holographic helmet has already expanded his mental power to a terrifying level, and the effect of the Sky Eye has become very powerful, almost becoming a portable map that can be retracted and retracted at will.  The deadly danger is hidden behind a huge sand dune next to the oasis.  Unless someone can see through the dunes or turn the corner, even reaching the oasis will be undetectable.  More than two hundred tall menThe orcs hid in shallow pits dug behind the dunes, their tattered flags and rusty weapons lying beside them.  Dozens of bloody heads were piled among them, each with a ferocious face and painful expression, which was obviously the source of the faint smell of blood that Tomad smelled.  Tomad secretly took a breath of cold air and felt his scalp numb.  Although the weapons of these barbarian orcs are very crude, it does not reduce their threat.  Even the shortest barbarian orc is taller than the strongest man in the merchant group. His arms and chest tattooed with strange patterns are frighteningly strong. The roaring warrior of the barbarian orc can tear a fully armed war horse alive.  This has long been no secret.  If the convoy of the Tianping Merchant Group arrived at the oasis without any knowledge and set up camp, it would be unimaginable for Tomad to resist the sudden attack launched by these fierce and barbaric guys.  Fortunately, I discovered something was wrong early.  Tomad continued to scan other nearby sand dunes with his "eyes of the sky", and found two more smaller orc troops. In total, there were more than four hundred orcs ambushing near the oasis.  For the Tianping Merchant Group, which only had more than 200 guards, it would be difficult to withstand the fierce attack launched by so many barbarian orcs, even if it was not caught off guard.  "Captain Chama, listen to me, don't suddenly look in the direction of the oasis." Tomad opened his eyes and said in a low whisper, "There is an orc troop ambushing behind the sand dunes directly behind the oasis.  More than two hundred people, including those behind the dunes on the left and right sides, totaling about four hundred people." "Gods above!" Captain Chama blurted out in disbelief, and his voice echoed far away in the quiet morning. "It's impossible.  Well, how could there be a barbarian orc ambushing here?" Tomad's eyes were so angry that he jumped up from the ground, "You have messed up everything!" His voice was sharp with anger, "Fafa.  Have mercy, Lord of Justice! Those barbarian orcs have noticed what we have discovered." Captain Chama's face froze, but before he could refute, a shout from afar proved what Tomad said was correct.  sex.  Large amounts of sand and dust rose simultaneously from behind several tall sand dunes, and then hundreds of beastmen appeared around the oasis, with many flags flying above their heads.  With just a casual glance, Captain Chama discovered among them the most notorious flag of the Skinned Man of the Ripper Tribe, the crooked helmet flag of the Horned Crown Tribe, the shattered skull flag of the Bone Gnawer Tribe, as well as various other tattered flags.  Only one flag stood above all the flags, flying in the wind. The pattern on it was particularly impressive. It was a serrated sword as pale as a dead man's skeleton. The end of the hilt was a skull with a crown, and the blade was half covered with blood.  Dyeing red, the background is as dark as night.  When that flag came into view, Captain Chama's body trembled violently, and his face suddenly turned as pale as rancid milk. "Brutal Beast King Flag!" His tone was like crying in despair, "Gods, help.  We are the King of Barbarians, we are finished!" Seeing the team of barbarian beasts getting closer and closer, Tomad grabbed Captain Chama's shoulders and pushed him onto the hunchback, "Wake up!" Tomad said towards Chama!  Captain Ma yelled, "For the sake of the gods, wake up!" Captain Chama glanced at Tomad with dull eyes, "Run I can't run away." His tone was somewhere between fear and numbness.  "We can't outrun the orcs. No animal in the desert can outrun them." Captain Chama was right. During this period, the orcs were flowing across the sand dunes like a turbid current.  , outflanking the two people from three directions.  They do not have mounts, but the speed provided by their strong legs is far greater than that of sand lizards, let alone Bactrian wild camels.  However, Tomad did not intend to sit still and wait for death. "Stop talking nonsense!" he shouted sharply, and at the same time he drew his sword and cut off the reins tied together. "They can't catch up, run!" The black light was so subtle that it was almost invisible.  It flashed from his fingertips and sank into the skull of the wild camel that Captain Chama was riding. Then the beast let out a strange neigh, and its four legs moved at an unprecedented frequency, carrying Captain Chama towards him.  He ran away in the direction he came from.  A strong wind blew against my face, bringing with it the unique scorching smell of the desert. When the sand and gravel in the wind hit my face, I actually felt a stinging sensation.  The beast-skin war drums and savage howls of the barbarian orcs ringing in my ears not only did not gradually approach, but became farther and farther away, and finally seemed to be completely left behind.  It was only then that Captain Chama woke up from his hazy sluggishness. Seeing the sand dunes on both sides speeding backwards, the experienced adventurer couldn't help but rub his eyes hard, suspecting that he was dreaming.  "Gods above, how can this beast run so fast?" He lowered his head as stiffly as a puppet. When he saw the wild camel running forward at a terrifying speed that could not see its four legs, a pair of eyes  Suddenly he stared horribly??The eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.  "Don't be surprised, Captain Chama, I used an acceleration magic on these two beasts." As a billowing snake-like dust rose from behind, Tomad rode the wild beast called the "Black Cavalry"  The camel caught up, speaking in a low voice, but cutting through the whistling wind like a sharp blade, "The orcs have been thrown away, but their number is still increasing, and they are approaching in the direction of the convoy. I tried to  They led in other directions, but failed. These barbarians were not chasing us at all, they already knew where the convoy was staying! "
