Chapter 792 Arrival at the Oasis
Chapter 792 Arrival at the Oasis
After saying this, the Camel-Hump Wizard took the somewhat wilted wild vegetables handed to him by the female beside him and gave them to Wu Yue.
"These are the wild vegetables we rub on the grilled meat. Although they smell a bit pungent, they make the meat taste much better."
Wu Yue took the plant from the Camelbow Wizard with sparkling eyes.
It has a slender shape and grows from a white root, consisting of clusters of grayish-green cylindrical leaves.
If you sniff it closely, it has a milder spiciness than onions or garlic.
Sand onion is a drought- and salt-tolerant plant that can fix sand and prevent erosion, making it a key plant in the desert grassland ecosystem.
She vaguely remembered that the province of Montreal had even implemented many restrictions due to the large-scale harvesting of sand onions by tourists.
It is said that large-scale, unregulated harvesting has damaged the stability of the local grassland environment.
She had only ever eaten pickled shallots before; this was the first time she had ever seen fresh shallots.
What is this plant called?
Seeing her interest, the Camel-Hump Wizard said smugly, "This is a sofa dish that only exists in our boundless desert."
Wu Yue: "Cough cough cough... sofa?"
Almost choking on her own saliva, Wu Yue looked down at the sand onion in her hand.
What exactly makes this thing look like a sofa?
The Camel-Hump Wizard nodded: "It's a wild vegetable that grows in our boundless desert and looks like hair, so it's called Sofa Vegetable."
"Hehe, this wild vegetable has a nice name."
Seeing the fake smile twitching at the corner of her lips, Yuan Lang couldn't help but find it amusing.
This wild vegetable called "sofa vegetable" definitely doesn't have that name in Yue's hometown.
The Camelback Wizard looked at Wu Yue with eager eyes, rubbing his hands together incessantly.
“Wizard Moon, our tribe has also accumulated a lot of gems. Would you like to take them over and have a look?”
Stared at by an old man's bright, sparkling eyes, Wu Yue couldn't swallow the roasted meat in her mouth.
She took the handkerchief, wiped her hands, and nodded with a smile: "You can just call me Wizard Moon."
"The gems in the boundless desert are excellent. If you'd like to trade them for salt, please bring them over for a look."
It was as if all the preparations for today had been for this moment.
As soon as she finished speaking, several tall orc warriors came to their side, each carrying a huge leather armor bag.
The camel-hump wizard got up, grabbed a bag, and opened it. Inside were various gems, just like those of the sand lizard tribe.
Judging by the quantity, there are more than enough.
After Wu Yue checked the quality of the gems one by one and counted the quantity to be exchanged, Yuan Lang carried the equivalent amount of salt off Ta Yun's back.
The surrounding tribesmen watched with eager eyes as bags of salt were poured into the leather armor bags prepared by their tribes.
Their eyes were all red.
So much salt, so much snow-white salt.
The Camelback Wizard was overjoyed.
With cheerful little steps, it approached the leather bag containing salt, carefully scooped some snow salt out of the stone bowl, and handed it to the excited female beside it.
"Use this salt to roast some more meat for Wizard Moon and Sand Lizard Wizard."
Everyone lined up to get some to take home and try the legendary snow salt.
"Oh oh oh!"
Wu Yue and the Sand Lizard Shaman sat on the leather armor mat, watching the Camel Hump Tribe members around them dance wildly and passionately.
The entire tribe was immersed in joy.
This made everyone feel happy.
After resting for a day at the Camel Hump Tribe, the group set off again.
Wu Yue and Yuan Lang sat together on the back of the same camel they had seen before.
Ta Yun arrogantly rejected the camel-hump wizard's suggestion to have the camel-hump beasts help carry salt and other items.
It twisted its hips, grew larger, and squeezed itself next to the camel that Wu Yue and the other person were riding.
He stared at Wu Yue with a sly look in his eyes and moved even closer.
Wu Yue chuckled and reached out to pat its big head, then, while patting its back, filled the animal skin bag again.
Feeling the added weight on his back, Ta Yun felt a sense of pride.
Only a beast as understanding as it can comprehend its master's thoughts.
Hehe, its owner will definitely like it even more.
The group traveled through the desert for nearly five more days, with only endless sand dunes twisting in the cold before them.
The once magnificent and dazzling gold has gradually become dull and lifeless.
Just as Wu Yue was dozing off as she walked with the camel-humped beast, a splash of green pierced through the golden expanse.
The wind, carrying moisture, brushed against my dry cheeks and lips.
The scene before my eyes instantly came to life.
"We've arrived at the oasis."
Cheers came from ahead, seemingly from some unknown tribe of orcs.
As if a mysterious switch had finally been pressed, a torrent of crisp tapping sounds, rustling leaves, clinking beads, and lively conversations burst forth.
The golden sand road that once stretched as far as the eye could see suddenly came to an end.
"Hahaha, you two old guys have finally arrived."
I thought you weren't coming this time.
A warm greeting rang out at the entrance to the Oasis Tribe's settlement ahead.
The old shaman and the camel-hump shaman of the sand lizard tribe jumped off their camel-hump beasts and walked quickly toward the old man who was speaking.
"Haha, how could I not come? The tribe relies on the trade fair to get the items it needs."
The three sprightly old men embraced warmly before patting each other's arms vigorously.
The hump wizard leaned closer to the short-haired old man and whispered, "Old man, is there anything good at this trade fair?"
The short-haired wizard nodded: "There is some, but there isn't much left. As you know, the best things the tribe gets are first given to the high shaman and the chieftain."
As he spoke, his expression darkened as if he had thought of something.
"Stay away from that old poisoner during this trade fair."
This old man somehow managed to get a tiger pelt for the great shaman.
The high shaman was very pleased and bestowed many fine things upon him.
This old poisoner was extremely pleased with himself.
He's been giving me a hard time lately. These past few days, any tribe that's been close to me at the gatherings has been targeted by this old man.
The sand lizard shaman and the camel hump shaman exclaimed, "Tiger pelt? That's a legendary treasure that only super tribes possess!"
Could this old poisoner have gotten involved with the super tribe?
The short-haired wizard sneered: "The old man is very tight-lipped. I've been asking around for a long time but haven't been able to find out anything."
I've been waiting at the entrance for the past few days just to remind you.
Exchange your belongings as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible.
Don't let that old man find a chance to cause you trouble.
The Camelback Wizard and the Sand Lizard Wizard nodded in unison, then exchanged a glance before looking at Wu Yue, who was standing next to the Camelback Beast and talking to Yuan Lang.
He tugged at the short-haired wizard's leather armor: "Old man, we've done you a great service this time."
Oops, this is a belated update.
