Chapter 785 The Sandstorm Arrives
The old shaman pointed to the dense, hammered marks on the salt crystals: "Each time a salt is brought back from a trade, the tribe will distribute a small portion to each person."
I will keep the rest.
If any members of the tribe need extra salt, they must exchange it for food or other goods.
He spread his arms and gathered them in front of his chest. Last year, our tribe accumulated a whole year's worth of food and leather armor materials, and in exchange, we obtained a salt crystal of this size.
I was worried that the remaining salt crystals wouldn't last until the next exchange, but I didn't expect you, Wizard Moon, to give me so much snow salt.
His wrinkled old face was solemn: "On behalf of the people of my tribe, I thank you for your generosity."
As he spoke, he placed his right hand on his chest and gave a very sincere bow.
"You're too kind. Your tribe helped us, this is just our way of expressing our gratitude."
The old shaman pondered for a moment: "Shaman Moon, the tribe that occupies this medium-sized oasis where we live is a large tribe."
Their tribe must have connections with those super-tribes.
"I can take you to see the shaman of this large tribe."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yue's smile became even more sincere: "Thank you so much."
"My Lord Wizard."
The orc warrior's hurried voice came from outside the sand dune, interrupting the two's conversation.
"My lord wizard, the chieftain and the others noticed that the sky was turning a dim and murky yellow on their way back."
It's spreading towards the oasis; a sandstorm must be coming. The chieftain is organizing the tribespeople to take shelter and sent me to report this.
The sandstorm is spreading very quickly; please stay in the sand and do not come out.
The old wizard's expression was solemn: "I understand. You should come in quickly."
Food and water are provided; no extra preparation is needed.
The orc warrior responded in a deep voice, his tall figure disappearing into the not-so-spacious sand pit.
The old wizard apologized to Wu Yue and the other person, saying, "It seems we'll have to wait until the sandstorm passes before taking you to the oasis."
Sandstorms in the vast desert are terrifying; if you don't take shelter beforehand, you'll definitely be swept away and devoured by them.
The gold-rank orc warrior standing nearby nodded with lingering fear: "Yes, once you're swept away by a sandstorm, sand and gravel will penetrate your body inside and out, resulting in a horrific death."
The only way we can escape is by hiding and not being seen by it.
Wu Yue was naturally aware of the terrible natural disaster of sandstorms.
She had also seen it in the documentary.
When a sandstorm arrives, the air is filled with dense dust particles, and even with a mask on, you can still smell a strong earthy odor.
Breathing becomes difficult, and dust can irritate the nasal cavity and throat, causing a series of unpleasant symptoms such as coughing.
Sand particles can cause a noticeable stinging sensation when they hit the skin, and sand can also get into the eyes, ears, hair, and clothes in an unpredictable way.
The most dangerous thing is that you can hardly see the road outdoors, and driving is extremely dangerous because you may not even be able to see the taillights of the car in front of you.
Not to mention the rubble, branches, and even some vehicles and buildings that were swept up.
In this beast world where everything is magnified several times over.
Wu Yue had no doubt that the sandstorm was far more powerful than the "mild" thing she had seen in the documentary.
The orcs were busy at the entrance to the sand pit, pulling out a very dark-colored board from the inside of the pit to block the entrance.
The old wizard handed him a stone jar, and the orc carefully poured the liquid from the jar onto the spot where the board met the sand.
A moment later, the plank that the orc had just needed to hold onto was now firmly glued to the sand dune.
