Early the next morning, as the marching horn sounded, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua followed the martial arts cultivators from the Flashing Silver Gate into the sea urchin chariot and officially entered the barbaric gate leading to the Savage Beast Continent.
The Wilderness Gate is nearly a hundred meters wide, with bare and straight rock walls on both sides.
The fog was rising and thick in the canyon. Neither the sky nor the end of the road could be seen. The line of sight in the canyon was only about 100 meters.
After pushing the chariot for about half an hour, the temperature in the canyon began to rise, and the thick fog in front began to slowly fade.
After walking for about forty minutes, we could already see the light at the exit of the canyon.
More than ten minutes later, Huang Ming, Xiao Hua and the others finally walked out of the Wilderness Gate and officially entered the Savage Beast Continent.
Opposite the exit of the Wilderness Gate is a barren mountain. The mountain is full of exposed rocks and red soil. There are no flowers, grass or trees, only some cactus-like plants growing sparsely.
In front of the barren mountain, there is a road seven or eight meters wide on the left and right extending backward, and in the middle of the barren mountain there is a small ravine like a canyon.
But what Huang Ming and Xiao Hua didn't expect was that from a distance, there were many shrubs growing in this small ravine, a bit like a small oasis in the mountains.
If you look down from the air, the terrain here looks like a long-handled three-pronged steel fork.
The long handle of the steel fork is the canyon of the Wilderness Gate, the two forks on the left and right are the two roads extending backwards in front of the mountain, and the fork in the middle is where the barren mountain just leads to the small oasis. A ravine.
The convoy stopped, and One-Eyed Rambo got out of his Sea Urchin car, asking the captains of each car to come out to gather. Huang Ming and Xiao Hua naturally went as well.
"Okay, this ravine is Maomaoqing. Elder Mu and Mei, you two teams will place your chariots at the intersection on the left. Elder Luo and Elder Feng, you two teams will place your chariots at the intersection on the right. The other teams will leave The eight chariots at the bottom were arranged in a semicircle facing the ravine, and the four crossbow chariots were in the middle and behind."
Rambo began to assign tasks.
Since the plan was made yesterday, everyone split up. Not long after, the car formation was ready, and Huang Ming and Xiao Hua also walked into the small ravine called Maomaoqing as planned.
As soon as they entered the ravine, Huang Ming and Xiao Hua used their spiritual thoughts to scan around, but did not find any wild beasts or human scents, so they speeded up and arrived at the Maomaoqing camp located in the small oasis.
This small oasis in the ravine is not big, but it is the flattest and widest place in the ravine. It is nearly five to six hundred meters long and wide. There are several palm trees on the edge of the oasis.
What surprised Xiao Hua and Huang Ming was that there was a small natural pond in the middle of this small oasis. In the pond, there was a spring full of spiritual energy that was churning upwards.
"No, there is actually a spiritual spring in the Savage Beast Continent?" Xiao Hua was a little surprised.
In his impression, since the Savage Continent is not suitable for human beings to survive, it must have a harsh environment and a desolate environment, at least like the Gobi desert. However, he did not expect that there is not only an oasis but also a spiritual spring here.
Huang Ming was also surprised: "Yeah, I didn't expect that there would be a sweet water oasis here?"
"Sweetwater Oasis?" Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment.
"Hey, Lao Ming, don't tell me, this place really looks like the sweet water oasis in "World of Warcraft", it is indeed a good place."
"It doesn't matter, we're not practicing here anyway. Let's go and check the camp."
After Huang Ming finished speaking, he walked directly towards the simple camp built by the pond.
This Maomaoqing camp is not big, just a simple temporary military camp.
There is a circle of horses on the outside that are sharpened with palm trees and thrust outwards, leaving an entrance. These horses are both defense and camp walls.
In addition to the Juma fence, there is only one fixed building in the entire camp, which is a wooden sentry tower about six or seven meters high at the entrance. However, one of the four pillars of this sentry tower is broken and has tilted to one side.
The camp was in a mess, and the three tents for ten people each were all damaged and dumped on the ground.
Huang Ming and Xiao Hua carefully inspected the camp, even opening the collapsed tent and looking at it, but found nothing except some traces of being burned by the fire.
So the two of them expanded the scope, separately checked the entire oasis, and finally returned to the camp.
"Strange? There are no corpses, no bloodstains in the camp, and there are no weapons or armor scattered nearby. If it weren't for some claw marks and traces of being burned, I would believe that this place was actively abandoned."
Xiao Hua touched his bald head. He felt that the camp had indeed been attacked, but it seemed to have been cleaned later.
"There are some messy beast tracks by the pond, but I can't tell what kind of beast they are. Maybe they're the lynxes nearby, or maybe they're the wild beasts that came to attack here?"
Huang Ming did find some tracks of wild beasts.
"No matter, since there are no wild beasts here, let them check by themselves. Let's go back."
Xiao Hua decided to back off. Anyway, they were only responsible for reconnaissance and luring the enemy. As for what happened here, that was their affair with the Silver Gate and had nothing to do with them.
After leaving the ravine and briefly explaining the situation inside, One-Eyed Rambo led a group of people into the ravine. Huang Ming and Xiao Hua also followed. Only the four teams guarding the intersection were left outside. .
Arriving at the camp again, Rambo asked people to check separately. After more than ten minutes, everyone returned to the camp one after another.
"The situation is not good. Judging from the footprints by the pond, our camp must have been attacked by wild beasts. Elder Hong and others who came for reinforcements are probably also in danger."
One-eyed Rambo thought for a while after saying this.
"But this is our only water source after entering the Brutal Beast Continent. This is why we set up the camp here. Now we must leave a team of people to guard it. Which of you is willing to stay?"
One-Eyed Rambo asked after analyzing the situation. He hoped someone would take the initiative to stay behind.
"How about I stay?"
Elder Yang, the master of the Silver Spear Pavilion, has spoken and is willing to lead the team to stay.
"Okay, but Elder Yang and his team alone are not enough. Elder Wu, your Silver Star Pavilion mainly focuses on bows, arrows and hidden weapons. You can cooperate with Elder Yang and his team, and your team will also stay."
One-eyed Rambo looked at the only female elder among the elders.
"Okay, then our team will also stay." Elder Wu nodded.
"Well, there are a total of forty people in your two teams. If you block the chariot at the intersection and set up more traps around it, Elder Yang's spear team and your bow and arrow team should be able to hold on until we complete this hunting mission. "
"Yes, I will obey the order of the leader." The two elders obeyed the arrangement.
"Okay, now refill the water, fill the buckets of all the tanks, and then gather at the intersection."
So the two remaining teams began to block the entrance to the ravine with chariots, while the others fetched water while waiting for the two teams responsible for guarding the intersection on the right to return.
After that, each team pushed their own sea urchin carts through the road on the left, officially entering the Brutal Beast Continent.
