"Where is the old lady?" Guan Heng asked: "Is she still in the hotel at this time?"
"No, Master Maz is restless." Luba slowly shook his head and said, "She often wanders around the desert outside the city, saying she is looking for something."
"By the way." Guan Heng asked curiously: "What kind of mission is Master Maz's announcement? I heard it's some kind of desert specialty, right?"
"That's a unique Elaeagnus jujube tree that grows in the desert in our area."
Luba said: "This kind of Elaeagnus jujube tree is very strange. The fruit is bitter and highly poisonous. However, after grinding it into powder and mixing it with other materials, it can strengthen the hardness of metal armor. That's why Master Maz issued the mission. Looking for the whereabouts of the Elaeagnus tree."
"I see, the fruit of the Elaeagnus jujube tree is indeed a good thing for forgers." After listening to this, Guan Heng nodded slightly: "However, you and Master Maz must have gained nothing, right? ?”
"Elder Guan Heng's guess is correct. That kind of Elaeagnus jujube tree has become extinct in the nearby desert decades ago." Luba said with a wry smile: "I have lived in the local area for so many years and have never seen it, so it looks strange. It’s hard work, but since we have accepted the task, no matter how difficult it is, we, Black Feather Crow, must do our best to complete it. This is a matter of credibility that we must abide by.”
"Okay, then I'm going to look for Master Maz's whereabouts now." Guan Heng said immediately: "Luba, do you have a map of the nearby desert? Get me a copy."
"Papa." Luba clapped his hands, and immediately a store clerk brought a parchment map. Guan Heng took it over and took a look: "The drawing is quite detailed, thank you."
"Oh, that's right." Guan Heng remembered something and took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to Luba: "I'm going to stay in Dirado City recently, and I will have to trouble you and my brothers. I'll use this money to treat them. Have a drink.”
"Thank you, Elder Guan Heng." Luba smiled and took the money bag, and then told Guan Heng: "Master Maz usually goes to the desert area from the West City Gate, and she usually does not go more than 30 kilometers, because The old lady is old. In addition, the farther you go into the desert, the stronger the wind and sand will be, so we should be able to find her soon."
Guan Heng thanked him and turned around and left the hotel. We set off straight towards the desert outside the west city gate.
…
A moment later, in a desert area dozens of kilometers outside Diradido, several travelers were accidentally surrounded by a group of dune wolves.
Dune Wolf Beast is a small and thin wolf-shaped monster that often moves in groups. Attacking travelers and weak animals. At this time, a middle-aged businessman waved the big stick in his hand and desperately drove the dune wolf beast away: "Damn beast, get away!"
"Ouch! Click!" A dune wolf ferociously pounced on it, opening its mouth to bite the big stick swung by the merchant, "Ouch!" The other two wolves took advantage of the opportunity and leaned over and rushed over, their fangs and claws fiercely attacking. He greeted the merchant and he screamed in pain.
Seeing this, the other travelers grabbed stones and dead branches on the ground to help drive away the dune wolves. But these guys are gathering more and more.
At the critical juncture, a figure suddenly rushed over with long strides. The man waved his hands rapidly, and three or four fireballs flew quickly and landed among the wolves in the sand dunes.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The exploded fireball made the wolves howl. They were immediately stunned by the sudden attack. One by one, they tucked their tails between their legs and fled in all directions, wailing.
"Hey, is everyone okay?" Of course it was Guan Heng who came to save people. He asked: "Is anyone hurt?"
"Only this merchant uncle was bitten by a dune wolf when he was protecting us." One of the young travelers said, "Look, his arm and left leg are bleeding."
"Here. Drink this recovery potion." Guan Heng smiled and handed a small bottle to the middle-aged businessman: "Bandage the wound and you will be fine soon."
"Thank you, thank you so much for this benefactor." The middle-aged businessman hurriedly took the small bottle and drank it in one gulp. He then said: "Thank you for arriving in time, otherwise we would have ended up in the belly of the monster."
"You're welcome. When someone is in danger, lend a helping hand. That's what travelers should do." Guan Heng asked casually: "I'm looking for an old lady in her sixties or seventies. Her name is Maz. She often comes here. She was wandering around the nearby desert, have any of you seen her?"
"Ah, the benefactor is talking about Master Maz?"
A young traveler hurriedly said: "I have seen her. Although this old lady is a bit weird, she is a good person. She often helps nearby residents repair their appliances for free. About five miles further, there is a small oasis. There is an adobe house there, where Master Maz often rests.”
"Thank you, this is the information I need to get." Guan Heng nodded slightly: "You all should go to Dirador City quickly. If you encounter a monster attack again, it is no joke."
"Yes, thank you for reminding me." A group of travelers bid farewell to Guan Heng and hurried to Dirador City, whereupon the two parties parted ways.
"Is it a small oasis?" Guan Heng looked at the yellow mist and sand in the sky and muttered to himself: "Master Maz, I finally want to see you."
A few minutes later, Guan Heng stood in front of this simple adobe house in a small oasis. Looking at half of the collapsed wall, Guan Heng sighed: "If you can't stay in a comfortable hotel, you have to come to a place where the wind and sand are raging." Suffering, this old lady is really amazing."
"Master Maz, are you there?" Guan Heng shouted into the adobe house: "Someone is coming to visit." At this time, the little red monkey in Guan Heng's arms suddenly poked his head out. It had been napping until now. He was awakened by Guan Heng's shouting.
"Chichi?!" The little red monkey suddenly sniffed the surrounding air with his nose, and a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.
Guan Heng shouted twice more at this time, but no one answered him in the adobe house. Guan Heng had no choice but to mutter: "I have no choice but to be a daredevil who breaks in without permission."
Who would have thought that as soon as Guan Heng walked into the adobe house, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the room and rushed towards Guan Heng's face with a roar. The little red monkey in Guan Heng's arms also jumped up and greeted him without thinking. .
"Chi chi chi chi!" The little red monkey and the black shadow started fighting in an instant. Both sides screamed and immediately rolled into a ball on the ground.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?" Guan Heng took a closer look. It turned out that the one playing with the little red monkey was a little monkey with jet black fur. Except for the color, it was different from the little red monkey. Look exactly the same.
"Little black monkey?!" Guan Heng suddenly showed a strange smile: "Haha, where did this strange little monkey come from? Could it be that he is the brother of the little red monkey?"
