The next second...

A large net buried under the sand rose into the air, and under the influence of some magic, it instantly tightened, completely wrapping the brown dragon inside.

What's even more terrible is that the latter's four claws were tripped by the mesh and fell heavily on a piece of yellow sand, and then the hoop became tighter and tighter.

Just when he was about to spit out strong acid and destroy the net, a sharp pain suddenly came from his abdomen.

I saw a group of fully armed human warriors rushing forward, using their five-meter-long spears to pierce the scales and plunge into the fragile internal organs of the abdomen.

Magic weapons!

The brown dragon immediately realized that these were not ordinary enemies, but a group of elite adventurers and mercenaries who could kill him.

The most obvious example is these weapons that are heavily equipped and have at least 2 enchantment levels.

But unfortunately, he realized it too late.

The experienced adventurers and mercenaries did not give the dragon any chance to react. One round of thrusts was followed by a second round of thrusts.

The precious dragon's blood spurts out like it's free of money, and I can't stop it at all.

In less than half a minute, an old brown dragon was tortured to death by the mortal he despised most.

Apart from bringing more excitement and sense of accomplishment to the Dragon Slaying Team, his struggle did not play any role, and no one was even injured.

As for the summoned large wind element, it was also directly expelled by the mage in the team and failed to play any role at all.

"Dear Mr. Employer, have we not disappointed you?"

As soon as the battle ended, the oldest team leader ran to Zuo Si and proudly asked for credit.

Of course, he does have such qualifications.

After all, slaying a dragon is not something that any adventure team can do, let alone slaying a dragon with zero casualties.

Although it was through sneak attacks, traps and tactics, it was enough to brag about as a matter of glory for a lifetime.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Well done, I'm very satisfied.

As a reward, all participants will receive an additional 100 gold coins each, and there will be unlimited supply of fresh water and fine wine tonight.

You can even take a shower if you want."

After that, Zuo Si casually took out two kettle-like objects from the camel's luggage and threw them over.

The team leader obviously recognized these two magic items, and immediately stretched out his hand to catch them firmly, exclaiming with disbelief: "Endless kettles and endless wine bottles?

I originally thought that you didn't carry so much fresh water because you had some magic storage items like dimensional bags.

But who would have thought that the truth would be even more outrageous.

With these two treasures, the team can even stay in this barren desert for several months or even a year."

"I have said before that I have made sufficient preparations for this journey and there is no need to worry about logistical supplies.

In addition, inform the workers behind that we will camp at the place where the brown dragon died.

In the next few days, I need you to continue to protect the safety of the team and conduct excavations around here for about a week.

I hope I can find the ruins of the Imasca Empire here, as well as things that interest me."

After saying that, Zuo Si jumped off the camel and began to use the afterglow of the evening sun to look around.

To be precise, he is trying to use his eyes that can detect and identify magic to confirm whether this is the capital of the Imasca Empire that he is looking for.

It's a pity that the sand in the Luoyan Desert, which is rich in residual magical energy, covers everything up, making it impossible to see clearly what's going on underground.

Even prophecy magic will be strongly interfered here.

The reason is simple!

Back then, the war between the gods and the artificers completely destroyed everything on this land.

All the sand is formed by the terrifying magical power and divine power of both warring parties intertwined together, tearing apart various buildings and the earth.

So part of their power still remains in the sand.

This is why the Luoyan Desert is so barren and desolate. Only powerful magical creatures like dragons and djinn that can survive by eating soil or not eating at all can settle here.

If the goddess of magic hadn't repaired the magic net herself later, the area would probably be either a chaotic magic area or a dead magic area.

Just when Zuo Si quietly released a few small things into the desert and began to detect the surrounding terrain, the team quickly set up a tent with the coordination of several professionals, and set up a coal stove to light a fire for cooking.
p>

Since there are endless kettles and endless wine bottles, two magic items that can greatly boost morale, adventurers, mercenaries, guides and workers couldn't help but let out huge cheers.

They filled their water bladders with wine and drank while pouring fresh water into large wooden barrels. Then they stripped off their clothes and jumped in to wash away the pungent sour smell.

From the moment they entered the desert, these people had been walking in the endless yellow sand for almost seven or eight days under the scorching sun.

And since there are not many buckets carried in the team, everyone is trying to control even drinking water, not to mention washing their faces, brushing their teeth, and taking a shower.

But now that I know that my employer has a magic item that can produce unlimited fresh water, of course I have to clean it up carefully, wash away all the dirt and odor, and then sleep comfortably.

Because they know that it will be very cold after the sun sets in the desert, bathers do not dare to waste time no matter how much they want to soak in the cool water for a while.

Generally speaking, you will come out immediately after cleaning, dump the dirty water and let the next person continue.

Although there were a lot of empty wooden barrels, dozens in total, there were also more than 300 people in the team, so it took three hours of washing and it was not finished until it was completely dark.

The ambient temperature at this time has already dropped from 40 to 50 degrees Celsius during the day to around 11 or 12 degrees Celsius.

When the cold wind blew through, many people whose hair had not yet dried couldn't help but shiver. They hurried to the coal stove to keep warm, and stared with envy at the most gorgeous tent not far away, as well as the tent.

Even in the harsh desert, the owner's quality of life has not deteriorated at all.

At this moment, Zuo Si was following the living habits of the top nobles in the Mulhorand region, sitting on an expensive hand-woven carpet and velvet cushions, with six people wearing tulle and swimsuits that could only cover the key parts.

Beautiful ladies serve.

No matter you are eating or drinking, you don’t have to move a finger. The latter handles it from beginning to end and then feeds it to your mouth.

The table carved from expensive wood was densely covered with fresh fruits, vegetables and meats that were impossible to eat in the desert. There were more than forty dishes alone.

These dishes are the result of four professional chefs working for more than two hours.

Moreover, bright magic lamps were placed on both sides of the table, dispersing the darkness of the entire camp.

There is no doubt that Zuo Si's behavior was to make everyone in the team believe that he was an extremely wealthy upper-class noble in the Mulhorand Empire.

Whether they are chefs or maids, they are all high-end slaves purchased with money in Kaleba Port.

Just by observing the awe-filled eyes of those mercenaries, adventurers and slave workers, you will know how useful this identity is in the areas around Mu Hong and Liangxing Lake.

Even the most lecherous mercenaries did not dare to stare at these coolly dressed maids too blatantly, and they did not dare to complain at all about Zuo Si's extravagant diet and living habits. They lowered their heads and ate their own portion silently.<

/p>

After all, in their opinion, this is what the great nobles of Mulhorand should look like.

Among them, adventurers and mercenaries have better food and unlimited drinks.

The slave workers' food was slightly worse, with only bread and boiled meat sauce as their staple food, plus some pickles.

However, more than forty dishes and a large amount of fruits are obviously not something that a normal person can finish.

After Zuo Si ate a symbolic meal, he quickly waved his hand to signal the maids who were shivering from the cold to retreat and enter a relatively warm tent. At the same time, he called the leaders of the two adventure teams and the leaders of the mercenary groups.

beckoned.

The latter understood it and immediately put down the few bites of food in his hand and handed it to his companion, then strode to the table filled with delicious food.

"Eat, you're welcome, I'm full."

Zuo Si made a gesture of invitation as the master.

It is also the tradition of the noble class in Mulhorand to reward the most important and closest subordinates with food that they cannot finish.

"Thank you for your generosity."

The oldest team leader put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly in response, then started to feast with the other two.

It can be seen from the unrestrained attitude that this is obviously not the first time.

After the autumn wind swept away all the delicacies that may not be available even outside the desert, the three of them patted their bulging bellies with satisfied expressions and began to sip the slightly sour wine.

, waiting for this mysterious, wealthy and generous employer to speak.

"Everyone, you are all the warriors who have been personally selected by me and have performed the best in exploring this desert.

So I also have great trust in you.

I believe you all know that the purpose of my trip is to search for the ruins of the Imasca Empire, to find that lost history, as well as all kinds of knowledge and magic items that I am interested in.

I don't care how much the process costs, as long as I find something valuable in the end.

Therefore, the following excavation work is very important, and there must be no mistakes."

Zuo Si pretended to be serious and warned.

Because those little things he just threw into the sand have already checked the surrounding underground situation.

As expected, there is a very large group of ruins under the desert here, and the entrance is the lair of the brown dragon that was killed before.
