Chapter 284 Desert Oasis
"Yunhua?"
The person holding up the pick-up sign is a young man with a dark complexion. When the corners of his mouth are cracked, his white teeth will be exposed, which looks quite friendly.
"That's right, I am Yunhua."
"Hello, I'm Qin Chong, Department of Spiritual Studies. Mr. Luo asked me to pick you up."
The swarthy young man Qin Chong grinned, and reached out to shake Yunhua's hands naturally.
"Senior is good, senior is good!"
Yunhua had the self-consciousness of a junior, and quickly bowed to thank him for picking him up.
However, when he looked at Qin Chong carefully, he always felt that Qin Chong was a little too mature, with faint white strands on his temples, his hairline was surprisingly high, and his smile was greasy.
Yunhua would not doubt that Qin Chong was a 40-year-old middle-aged man.
So Yunhua tentatively asked, "What grade is the senior in?"
"What grade?"
Qin Chong was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and then put his hands on the same hairstyle as "Xu Zhisheng". He smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I have already graduated from my undergraduate degree. Now I am a third-year graduate student, and I will be a third-year student in two years. You, a junior, can really talk. Do I look so young?"
"Only three years old?"
Hearing this, the corners of Yunhua's mouth twitched slightly.
He remembered that Mou Kangzhuang had said before that there were several Ph.Ds working in this research team, and he thought Qin Chong was a Ph.D. student just now.
How can I think about it, only to study three?
"Sure enough, it is impossible to engage in scientific research, and it is impossible in this life..."
Looking at Qin Chong's skin, hairline and temples, Yunhua is very glad that he is a trainer.
Because the trainer does not have a graduate degree, after graduating from a bachelor's degree, he is on his own.
Unlike scientific researchers, they can go to graduate school after graduating from a bachelor’s degree, and it’s better to do a Ph.D. after the graduate school, but it’s the same after getting a Ph.D., because this Ph.D. is not the same as another Ph.D.
Unlike a trainer, there is only one standard: as long as you can fight!
Under Qin Chong's leadership, Yunhua left the airport, then took a taxi out of the city.
After leaving the city, Qin Chong quickly threw a poke ball.
"Boyo~~"
Accompanied by a clear and melodious cry, an elf with a green body, bright red eyes, two big wings and a long tail appeared. It was a desert dragonfly.
"The urban area just now was a no-fly zone. Now that we are out of the urban area, we can take the flying elf instead."
Qin Chong climbed onto the back of the desert dragonfly, reached out and grabbed the two antennae on the top of the latter's head to stabilize his body, motioned Yunhua to come up together, and said with a smile, "You can come up too. When you take off, you can grab the desert dragonfly's neck and my waist to avoid being knocked down."
"Grab your waist?"
Seeing Qin Chong's greasy smile, Yun Hua almost got goosebumps.
This wave is really a bit disgusting!
"Um...Senior, I actually have a flying elf too. How about I ride my own elf!"
Yunhua smiled awkwardly, and took out an elf ball from his belt.
"Is your elf flying fast?"
With distrust on his face, Qin Chong explained: "Although they are all within the scope of the new province, the area of the new province is very large. From here to the camp, the whole journey is about [-] kilometers. If everything goes well, it will take four hours!"
According to Mr. Luo, Yunhua should be a freshman.
How much strength can a freshman have?
An advanced level is as good as the sky!
But Qin Chong is different. Although he is a student of the research department, he does not take the route of fighting.
But the tool pet desert dragonfly that he spent a lot of resources to cultivate in the past ten years has barely reached the professional level in strength, and it has a floating characteristic and is very good at flying.
So Qin Chong was very skeptical, could Yunhua keep up?
If you can't keep up, it may be dark when you return to the camp.
But the Taklimakan Desert at night is very scary, even serious professional trainers dare not go out at will, let alone a half-assed guy like him.
Hearing this, Yunhua laughed and said, "So, senior, your desert dragonfly flies at about [-] kilometers per hour? Then my bronze clock shouldn't be a big problem!"
"Duo~"
Accompanied by a low cry, the super clock appeared.
"I'll go, it's so big!"
Qin Chong's eyes widened.
It's not that he has never seen a bronze clock before, but it is indeed the first time he has seen such a big bronze clock.
It seems that the strength is not weak.
"Alright, let me see if your bronze bell can keep up with my desert dragonfly. If you can't keep up, you'd better ride with me. We must return to the camp before dark."
After explaining clearly to Yunhua, Qin Chong patted the tentacles of the desert dragonfly, and the latter flew up into the sky with a flap of its wings.
"Bronze Bell, let's follow!"
Yunhua's face was relaxed.
"Duo~"
The bronze bell understood, and after leaning slightly, the tail of the bell lit up with white light, as if a jet plane was rapidly attacking, constantly closing the distance to the desert dragonfly.
In the past, the bronze clock needed to use "reverse gravity" to reduce its own weight, and at the same time use "cannon light cannon" to accelerate, which was more expensive and difficult to last.
But now Yunhua handed the "light stone" of the leading gopher to the bronze clock, which can avoid the consumption of "reverse gravity", so the super clock gradually lasted.
"You kid can do it!"
Qin Chong blinked his eyes and looked up and down the bronze clock. Seeing that the latter didn't have a strenuous expression on his face, he asked curiously, "This shouldn't be the limit of the bronze clock, right?"
Yunhua was about to answer "Yeah", but Qin Chong's other sentence directly dispelled Yunhua's idea of admitting.
"Yunhua, I didn't expect your bronze clock to fly so fast. How about...I'll ride with you, and we can save some time."
"No, no, this is already the limit speed of my bronze clock."
Yunhua quickly shook his head in denial, and at the same time telepathically communicated with the super clock, allowing him to control the speed.
Flying out of the provincial capital city, Yunhua's first journey is mostly high mountains and hills, and there is even a little snow on the top of the mountains, showing the extremely high altitude of the mountains.
Occasionally, you will see a gathering point of individual people or a small city. Although it is generally sparsely populated, it is not desolate.
After more than an hour, Yunhua finally saw the golden desert.
"Yunhua, the Taklamakan Desert is in front of us. This is the largest desert in our country, with an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, which is equivalent to the combined area of several provinces in our coastal areas."
With excitement on his face, Qin Chong pointed to the vast sea of sand and introduced: "I heard that you are following the route of the Sandstorm team? Then you really came to the right place, and there are a lot of elves here. When I am free, I can show you around. There is always a elf you like."
"That's a good feeling!"
Yunhua was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said loudly: "Then I will trouble the senior at that time."
"My brother, what troubles are you talking about?"
Qin Chong waved his hand, appearing extremely righteous.
Because of the few words he said when he met Yunhua, Qin Chong had a good sense of Yunhua, a primary school boy.
Today's weather is very good, the sky is clear, but it's a pity that Yunhua and Qin Chongfei are also relatively high, so they can't see clearly what's going on on the sand dunes.
No way, their main task today is still to hurry.
But as he was flying, Yunhua suddenly noticed that Qin Chong seemed to have adjusted his direction.
Seeing Yunhua's doubts, Qin Chong quickly explained: "Our camp is in the Hotan area. Although we can save hundreds of kilometers by walking in a straight line, we have to go through the core area of the Taklamakan Desert."
"There are sandstorms all the year round, and the elves are also the most powerful. With our little arms and legs rushing in, even in the daytime, it must be very dangerous. Therefore, we can only take a long detour."
Hearing this, Yunhua narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it the core area of the Taklamakan Desert?"
According to Qin Chong's introduction, the Taklimakan Desert is one of the most dangerous places in Huaguo, and even the fringe areas need advanced strength to basically guarantee safety.
If you want to go deep into the periphery, you need at least one professional-level elf to guard the place.
Continuing to go deep into the desert, the requirements for strength will also increase.
If it is the core area of Taklamakan, gym-level trainers may not be able to guarantee safety.
Especially in sandstorm weather, the strength of the sandstorm elves will be enhanced, they can advance, attack, retreat, or defend, and they can come and go freely, and they usually appear in groups, which is very scary!
After all, too many ants can kill an elephant, let alone the opponent's home court.
Following Qin Chong in the desert, Yunhua's original excitement gradually calmed down, and was replaced by caution.
Because Qin Chong's words made Yunhua understand that it is really possible to die if one is not careful.
Fortunately, Qin Chong, an old driver, was there. Although the two of them encountered small sandstorms and the siege of armored birds along the way, they were safe and sound.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yunhua finally arrived at the destination.
This is a small oasis belt, like a green ribbon floating on the golden desert, it is particularly conspicuous.
And in the oasis, there are small houses made of rocks, all of which are one-story square, but the area is not small, and one building is connected to the other, even with a small yard.
As the height decreased, Yunhua could already see a person busy moving back and forth in the yard, each wearing a thick headscarf.
In addition to humans, Yunhua also saw many elves.
The orange one is the fire camel, the green one is the desert naia, the gray one is the north-facing nose, and the blue one is the blue toad...
Yunhua did not expect that in this vast sea of sand, there is actually such a place where humans and elves live in harmony, it is like a paradise.
"There is the village of the Rob people, and it is also where our camp is located."
Qin Chong smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Go, let's go down!"
Led by Qin Chong, the desert dragonfly and the bronze bell began to fall rapidly.
However, when they were still a hundred meters away from the oasis, they were stopped by a group of ferocious armored birds, there were dozens of them.
"what's the situation?"
Yunhua's body tightened.
"Don't be nervous, these are armored birds raised in captivity by the Rob tribe. They are fighters in the sky and usually act as scouts in the sky."
Although the group of armored birds stared at Qin Chong, the latter was not afraid. Instead, he controlled the desert dragonfly to circle them twice, as if meeting friends.
"Ga~~Ga~~"
Not long after, the group of armored birds immediately gave way to Qin Chong and Yunhua.
It's just that they looked at Yunhua and Bronze Bell with a hint of wariness.
"Qin Chong is back?"
The dragonfly in the desert landed on the ground, and the people in the oasis were wearing strange robes that almost covered their whole bodies, no matter men, women, old or young, they all greeted Qin Chong with smiles on their faces.
"Ayag, I'll buy you the cream cake you asked for."
"Ms. Buya, I bought you a whole bag of refined salt."
Qin Chong also responded enthusiastically, and patted his space backpack from time to time, saying that there are many good things in it!
It can be seen that Qin Chong's popularity is not bad.
His main task this time was to pick up Yunhua, and he also took care of some personal affairs by the way.
Located in the desert, too far from the city, so many things are inconvenient.
Yunhua followed Qin Chong, looking at the surrounding environment and people curiously. If it wasn't for their common language, Yunhua would really feel like he had come to a foreign country.
"The Rob people are an ethnic group living in the desert. Although it seems that there are not many people here, there are only a few hundred people, but in fact their entire ethnic group has nearly [-] people, but they are scattered in different oases."
Qin Chong seemed to see Yunhua's doubts, and explained: "There is no way. The number of people that each small oasis can bear is limited. If you don't want to exhaust the water, you must learn to be restrained. This is the way of survival that the Luobu people have summed up for thousands of years. But don't underestimate the Luobu people. Their ethnic group has a history of thousands of years, and their inheritance has never been broken. They have a special method of cultivating group elves, and their strength cannot be underestimated."
"Clan elves?"
Yunhua raised his eyebrows.
This is a ranking he has never heard of.
"That's right, it's the clan elves."
Qin Chong led Yunhua all the way forward, nodded and said: "The Rob tribe has always relied on the power of themselves and the elves to live tenaciously in the desert. Over the past thousands of years, they have summed up a set of elves that are suitable for both fighting and survival, and have been continuously strengthened and perfected with their ancestors."
"You should have seen it just now, the warriors and scouts in the sky, the armored birds, the desert boats, the fire camels, the water source protection desert Naia tribe, the magnetic field navigation to prevent getting lost, the north-nose tribe, the amphibious blue toad tribe..."
"This... is interesting!"
Yunhua's eyes lit up.
According to Yunhua's feeling from the Luobu tribe, there should be a lot of knowledge in it that he can learn and absorb.
"Maybe after you settle down, you can fight against the trainers of the Rob tribe to see if there are any good training ideas."
Yunhua made up his mind.
He came to the Taklamakan Desert this time, in addition to obtaining Luo Lao's research results, he also had the idea of penance.
Yunhua won't leave the desert easily if he doesn't reach the professional level.
