Chapter 169 Ship and Cart
Lin Tian had originally thought that if the boatman refused him again, he would find a place to transform himself and climb onto the boat.
Fortunately, the boatman eventually succumbed to the temptation of money. He snatched the money bag from Lin Tian's hand and then turned around to greedily lick the coins from the bag with his eyes that had turned into gold coins.
"Why are you so late? Hurry up and get on the boat! If you're any later, I might not be able to find a seat after I set off."
"Luckily, I have a kind heart."
As the boatman spoke, he took his money bag and boarded the boat, leaving Lin Tian stunned.
Um...actually, I didn't plan to give you that much.
Forget it.
Anyway, I'm not short of money.
tread!
Lin Tian flipped himself onto the ship and then looked into the cabin.
There were probably seven or eight people already sitting in the cabin, and each of them had weapons hanging from their waists or backs. Of course, anyone who dared to go to that place at this time was definitely not a good person.
After exchanging polite nods with everyone in the cabin, Lin Tian began to scan the cabin, looking for a seat.
But only now did he realize that there were almost no seats left in the cabin. Looking at the already full seats, Lin Tian seriously suspected that he had been ripped off by his boss.
He felt like he was embarking on a spontaneous trip, only to find out he had a standing ticket when he boarded the train.
Fine, I'll just stand here. With my current strength, I won't get tired of standing.
Just as he was about to continue standing, a deep voice suddenly came.
"Hey buddy, I can squeeze in here."
Lin Tian looked over at the sound and saw that the person greeting him was a giant in heavy armor, which was partly the reason why there was not much space in the cabin.
After apologizing to the person on his right, he shifted to the right, revealing a space just large enough for someone to sit.
Clearly, this is to make room for him.
What a good person... but...
Lin Tian watched him slap his thigh, then looked at his thick thighs and his body, which was much stronger than his own. He seemed to think of something, and his body suddenly trembled.
Although Lin Tian was very grateful for the invitation from the armored giant, he felt a chill down his spine and ultimately declined the giant's offer.
"It's okay, you guys sit down. It's too crowded if I sit down. I'll just find somewhere to lean against."
Looking at Lin Tian leaning against the door, Knight scratched his head, feeling a wave of frustration.
"Did I not give up enough space?"
"How about I get up..."
"Stop talking, you idiot."
"They're clearly afraid of you!"
For some unknown reason, Dopna's delicate pink face, hidden beneath her black robe, flushed slightly.
Nothing much happened after that. The boat and the vehicle quickly got moving. The big gray dog pulled a whole vehicle full of people, and it didn't seem to be working very hard. I wonder if it was some kind of supernatural creature.
The distance from Dork Town to Black Rock Cliff is not actually very far; it should take about a day to drive there normally. The reason why many people take a boat or vehicle instead of walking is because they are afraid of getting lost in the desert.
You should know that this desert is fraught with danger. If you don't have a safe route or stay in one place for too long, you will attract the attacks of those monsters.
Although the boatmen are not very skilled, they are extremely familiar with this desert. Together with the large limestone dog, they can avoid a lot of dangers along the way. This is why some people would rather take an expensive boat than hike to Black Rock Cliff.
Is the wind picking up?
A man inside the boat suddenly looked up, listening to the whooshing sound of the boat being slapped. He looked worried. This was his first time riding a boat. Would something go wrong?
The other people on the ship clearly also sensed this strange phenomenon and became alarmed.
"It's fine."
Just then, the boatman driving the boat ahead suddenly spoke up to comfort them.
"This is a natural phenomenon of obscurity. Our ships have been specially modified so that those strong winds cannot harm us."
The boatman seemed to have been sailing for quite some time; he spoke like a seasoned veteran. After explaining the cause of the strong wind and offering a few words of comfort, the passengers quickly calmed down.
call! ! !
The boats and carts continued to howl in the fierce wind, the sound like the wailing of a female ghost, terrifying all who heard it.
But the boatman sitting in the helm was not flustered, and even had time to light a pipe.
Suck~
Call ~
Outside the boat, a fierce wind was blowing, and inside, the boat was billowing smoke. The boatman had seen this scene countless times, and it was nothing new to him. He even had time to observe the fierce wind outside through the boat window.
Although there wasn't much to see.
Um?
What it is?
In a fleeting glance, the boatman suddenly spotted a dark figure in the sandstorm.
The dark figure grew larger and larger in his vision, as if it were gradually approaching them.
Monster?
It should be impossible.
When the gale blows, very few creatures move. Apart from the large, stone-gray dog that I have equipped, only the sand beasts will move in the gale.
However, the sand beast shouldn't be that fast, and its ship is engraved with special magic, so the sand beast shouldn't get close.
What exactly is it?
As the dark figure drew closer, the boatman suddenly felt a surge of tension. He placed his hand on the handle beside him and stared intently at the shadowy figure in the raging wind.
call! ! !
A gust of wind violently lashed against the ship, and after the wind subsided, the dark figure revealed its true form.
That... was also a boat.
Oh, we're in the same industry!
Seeing the boat being pulled by the lime dogs, the boatman breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought it was some kind of monster he didn't recognize.
Sigh, that's how it is in this line of work, you're always on edge.
As his fellow boatman approached, the boatman opened a small opening in the window, then picked up his megaphone and called out in a friendly manner to his companion:
"What a coincidence, brother!"
"I never expected to meet you in this sandstorm!"
However, the other party did not respond to his friendly greeting and continued to approach silently, which made the boatman feel that something was wrong.
"Brother, would you like to travel together?"
"Then you can follow behind me, I'll show you the way."
Just when the boatman thought the other boatman was a novice and wanted him, an experienced boatman, to guide him through the sandstorm, a sudden change occurred.
Click~
Suddenly, a small opening appeared in the opposite cabin, and a ruby staff emerged from it.
hum~
As the ruby staff trembled, a wisp of fire appeared and grew stronger amidst the sandstorm, gradually transforming into a sizable fireball.
wrong!
I am!
boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
