Six, Looking for Lixuan City (middle)

Before actually coming to the endless wilderness (endl), Feili never thought that it would be so difficult to find a city that once famous in this vast and desolate land.

——Are there is no understanding of this strange and barbaric inland wasteland, especially the current situation of this land after the decline of the Silk Road, whether it is the Feren people who are focused on overseas colonization and development, or the Oriental people who tend to be closed down in recent centuries.

Before the Xiangrui entered the endless wilderness, Feili also looked for a guide in the Hexi Corridor, but unfortunately failed. According to the locals, more than thirty years ago, there were occasionally some sporadic caravans carrying goods to the oasis city in the west to try their luck.

However, with the sweeping and raging of Tukan cavalry, several oasis city-states near the Hexi Corridor have now become uninhabited Jedi.

Without these crucial relay points and supply stations, the inland trade route that was originally surviving was completely interrupted. Now no one has returned to the west to explore the unprofitable terrifying desert.

——Since the arrival of the Age of Discovery, the beautiful years of orientals who can easily make dozens of times profits by just taking a few camels with silk, spices and tea bricks and struggling to walk the Silk Road with their lives, have long been gone.

So Marshal Fili Taylor had to enter this desolate land in a daze

——With this floating giant ship that can soar in the blue sky, it is not difficult to return to the empire. As long as you let the Xiangrui fly westward, if you don’t hit the mountains or swept into a storm on the way, you will definitely arrive at the Feren continent smoothly, and there will naturally be a way to distinguish the geography.

However, it is as difficult to find a city in this strange wilderness that is unknown where it is located.

——The guide cannot be found, the road cannot be seen, and there is not even a decent map. The positioning instruments used for navigation seem to be not very suitable in this inland desert. What's more, even if the latitude and longitude are successfully calculated, what's the use?

When His Highness of the Magic Goddess issued this "accidental" mission, he did not report the coordinates of the destination.

In fact, when the Xiangrui had just flew out of the Hexi Corridor, Lixuan City was found at the foot of a mountain range - but this was not the current Lixuan City, but the ruins of Lixuan City thousands of years ago: except for the broken walls and houses, terraces and canals swallowed by sand dunes, and the thick white bones scattered among the weeds, there was no trace of life.

——Due to the diverting of rivers, the drying of water sources, and the destruction of war, the people who once lived in this city have long given up their earliest settlements and collectively moved to a place with abundant water and grass deeper in the desert to build a new city...

In this way, Feili had to drive the Xiangrui floating battleship and wander around aimlessly in the desert, hoping that one day he would hit the great fortune, and open his eyes and see the legendary city on the horizon. Or find a guide, or to be precise, a desert tribe that can point out the location of Xinlixuan City... However, it was still difficult to get what he wanted, which made him increasingly irritated.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Moreover, the extremely harsh natural environment along the way has really made every traveler feel scared.

——The whistling wind carries countless sand and dust, sweeping everything in the world; the sunshine covered by wind and sand in the sky is whipping the earth frantically, neither knowing where it will come from or where it will end.

Because deep inland, the wet sea breeze never blows here, in most areas of the endless wilderness, there are extremely arid deserts and Gobi, which are neither suitable for farming nor grazing. And those sturdy nomads live in the wandering green grasslands, which will appear on a large scale again when they reach a location closer to the Feren continent in the west.

Looking from the distance from Xiangrui, you can see either the strange rocks or the yellow sand everywhere. Under the shadow of some dunes or mountains, you can occasionally see some dry trees with strange postures struggling in this cruel environment.

Therefore, Orientals call this place a hell land that "can't get in and out", so that all warriors who dare to peek at the mystery here are frightened.

Although Feili's material conditions at this time seem to be much better than those adventurers who rode camels in the desert in the past - not only was they in the Xiangrui, who soared in the blue sky, sitting in a cool cabin with magic to adjust the temperature, they could also use the Miser Energy nuclear reactor to connect the water element plane to produce a large amount of clear fresh water without limit. The amount was sufficient to allow everyone on the ship to take a luxury bath in the desert every day. In addition to being unable to replenish fresh fruits and vegetables, which made the morning and evening recipes a little monotonous, it was nothing like a comfortable long-distance trip.

But in fact, the Xiangrui adventure in this desert is also full of dangers - indeed, Feili and the others can sit in a comfortable cabin with air conditioning, drinking cool beer, humming a tune and turning on the rain shower, and enjoying the magnificent desert scenery outside the porthole. Instead of going through the endless dangers, they trek through the long yellow sand, and finally exhausted, kneeling haggardly beside the springs of the oasis.

However, the dead magic zones and chaotic magic zones spread all over the wilderness still threaten the life and death of this towering giant ship at all times.

——In this vast and endless wilderness, the magic net has always been disordered and broken, like a bed of rotten cotton. Various dead magic zones and chaotic magic zones are easier to collide than desert oasis. If a floating warship like Xiangrui, which is purely magic-driven, is accidentally inserted into the sand pile, and cannot move; if it is severe, it explodes in the air, destroys the ship and dies.

In order to avoid this terrible ending, Feiri Taylor, the only person in the entire ship who can accurately sense the status of the magic net (because he is the candidate for the Magic Goddess, and the Magic Goddess is the owner of the Internet cafe, he is equivalent to an intern network administrator), had to sit in the cab for twenty-four hours a day, and concentrate on checking any tiny abnormalities on the route, and not even slack off for a moment, so that he didn't have time to "**" with his girlfriend and first mate... After working overtime for more than a month, his mood for this desert journey soon experienced a terrible transition from excitement to novelty to indifference to boredom to endurance to almost despair. He felt like he was about to be tired and crazy. He felt like he was almost tired.

Fortunately, this monotonous and boring and sleepy desert trip is not without the presence of people who feel refreshed.

For example, in front of the route at this moment, a touch of intoxicating green jumped out between the pure blue sky and the mottled beige land...
