The distribution of oases in the Eno Oak Desert is very distinctive. It is always a series of small oases strung together to form a geographical wonder similar to a string of beads, showing a straight or curved direction.

These oases are almost the same size, with a head and a tail. Every once in a while, the oasis at the tail will turn into a desert again due to resource exhaustion and environmental deterioration, while several new oases will appear in the direction of the head.

These new oases are very strange. The land is fertile and the water is abundant, but nothing will grow on them. They can only be regarded as barren land. However, as long as crops are planted on them, they can be harvested without any management.

The Bedai Barbarians are such a desert tribe that follows the life of the oasis. They live in various oases in tribal units. The Bedai Barbarians are essentially nomadic people. The bravest young people among them will form a team, led by an experienced leader.

The commander-in-chief searches for new oases in the desert, and occasionally acts as a bandit to plunder passing caravans.

When the Bedai barbarians find a new oasis, they will plant crops and pasture on the new oasis. In the coming year, some of them will choose to settle here, and the rest will recruit new young people to continue exploring the future. The Bedai barbarians

The elderly generally choose to die with the oasis. Of course, this situation usually only happens on the oasis that is about to disappear. The life of a Bedai man consists of growing up as a boy, exploring in youth, settling in middle age, and then moving towards old age with the oasis that accompanies him for a lifetime.

Death is like reincarnation.

However, in recent years, the length of the oasis chain has become much longer than in the past. Many elderly people can no longer wait for the oasis they settled in to die, so they throw themselves into the arms of death in advance. Of course, this situation is a good thing for the Bedai barbarians, which means

As the rate of oases degradation is slowing down, the number of oases that support their lives is correspondingly increasing.

What William found was an oasis that was about to be abandoned. No one lived in this oasis, and there were no buildings on it. Most of the Bedai barbarians liked to live in tents, and generally did not build permanent residence-style buildings. The people who moved away did not damage the place.

vegetation, but it is not much different from destruction, because the soil of the oasis has been severely desertified, and most of the surrounding vegetation has died. Only two Elaeagnus trees and some splendens are barely surviving around an almost dry well.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no other creatures on the oasis.

The Ethiopian lizards' favorite thing to do is to follow the Bedai barbarian tribes to plunder. They like to choose dying oases as their bases, and then follow the direction of the oasis chain, mopping up the Bedai barbarian tribes along the way one by one.

.

Basically, in every oasis chain discovered by the Ethiopian lizards, the Bedai barbarians living there can no longer live in peace. Although the Bedai barbarian tribe will organize manpower to resist and even encircle and suppress the Ethiopian lizards, the mutation

The environmental tolerance of the later sand lizards far exceeds that of humans, and they are natural experts in guerrilla warfare. At the same time, they are not afraid of death, so in most cases, the Bedai barbarians always return without success or even suffer heavy losses.

William found many traces left by the Ethiopian lizards in the dead Elaeagnus groves, including a large number of human and livestock bones, and most of them were left as food remains, because all the bones were covered with

It was covered with all kinds of bite marks from teeth, including all the bone marrow inside that had been sucked out.

William suspected that this might be one of the lairs of the group of sand pirates they encountered earlier. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and conducted a rough survey of the scene, thus confirming one thing. There were living sand lizards returning.

I've been here before. Because there was a eaten carcass of a spider-eating beast and a discarded special saddle at the scene. The remains were still fresh, so it should have been killed not long ago.

Spider-eating beasts are the favorite mounts of the sand bandits in the Aino Oak Desert. This large-scale monster looks like a giant wasp. It flies extremely fast and comes and goes like the wind. The sand bandits riding them are like

They appear like ghosts. No sand thief is willing to kill a domesticated spider-eating beast for food unless he has to or breaks a jar.

William and the others killed at least forty Ethiopian lizard sand bandits in the battle at the entrance to the ground. This number is already considered a relatively large organization among all sand bandit gangs. The size of the sand bandit group that an oasis chain can support

There are restrictions, after all, the Bedai barbarians are not vegetarians.

William was sure that those few fish that slipped through the net should have returned here early, but they did not expect that William and his party would follow them to the same place.

The sand lizards have a special skill. They can lurk under the sand like sand lizards. It is difficult for ordinary people to find their traces, but William is not an ordinary person. It was difficult to say in the past, but now William has at least two ways to find and hide.

One is that he can use the power of the Qiu Shui Knife to enter a special soul vision. As long as any life hidden underground has a soul, it cannot be hidden from him. The second one is undoubtedly his new awakening.

With sincere awareness, you can find your goals intuitively.

William walked around the oasis and didn't find any danger. He just found something special in the semi-dry well, a pile of buried eggs. After Tabari's identification, they turned out to be sand.

Eggs laid by lizardmen to reproduce their offspring.

Tabari gave two suggestions on how to deal with these sand lizard eggs. One was to destroy them all. After all, normal sand lizards tended to be evil; the other was to take them with them until they were found.

The Bedai tribe gave these eggs as gifts to the Bedai tribe.

The first method was obviously not in line with William's temperament, and he also had doubts about the second option. William expressed his doubts: "I want to know, what will those Bedai barbarians do with these lizard eggs?"

Tabari was always a little uncomfortable with William's inexplicable kindness and moral values. She said: "William, I am surprised that you are not a paladin, otherwise you will inevitably become the strongest one under the stars. Don't worry about these future things.

The fate of the hatched lizard-man eggs is that they are hard currency in many desert cities, including the largest city here - Ghost City. The sand lizard-men are highly resistant to all kinds of negative energy, so they will be hatched safely and then serve as

Coolies and servants become members of the city and, if they are lucky, become citizens of the city."

After William heard this, he still felt very uncomfortable, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing. After all, he was not the kind of "bitch" who was ignorant of practical matters. Tabari seemed to have noticed William's displeasure and continued

Advised: "William, believe me, this is the best choice for the unhatched sand lizards. Otherwise, once they fall into the hands of adult sand lizards, the first thing they will do after hatching is to force them to

Fighting with brothers and sisters who were born together, the loser will be thrown to the gold-eating ants to eat, and the winner will also suffer all kinds of torture and suffering in the future growth process, and even one tenth of them will eventually reach adulthood successfully.

None."

In other words, of the hundred and ten lizard eggs that William and the others found, under normal circumstances only ten individuals would have the chance to grow up successfully. In comparison, it is undoubtedly more humane to hatch and grow them all safely as slaves in the city.
