Chapter 546 64 Mbia Oasis

After setting off from Langte Oasis, the Hash Caravan once again entered a smooth journey.

The team had an excellent guide, Old Hash, and more than 30 free people from Langte Oasis.

They encountered neither sandstorms nor wild beasts along the way.

After walking slowly for 13 days, the Hash Caravan entered the end of this journey, the Mbia Oasis where the "Anubis Temple", the largest tribe of free people in the Black Desert, is located.

This oasis is located in the center of a low-lying basin.

Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see that the scale of the oasis is at least 4-5 times the size of Langte Oasis. There is not only one lake in the Mbia Oasis, but four flowing lakes of different sizes. From a distance, there is even a low leaking lake in the center of the city, and the movement of water forms a small waterfall.

Simply approaching this oasis can feel the moist breath coming to your face.

The scale of the Anubis tribe is also several times larger than that of the Scorpion Tribe. There is even a human-shaped temple erected on one side of the Quiet Lake in the center of the oasis.

The statues of Osiris, the god of the underworld, Anubis, and Amin, the Heart Eater, sitting side by side form the main body of the building.

That is the legendary "Temple of Anubis".

Near the oasis, one after another exquisite marble statues began to appear in the passage down the mountain. It is not difficult to see from the colorful murals and inscriptions that these are the high-level priests in the Temple of Anubis.

The exquisite stone tablets and murals outside the goose yellow marble sculptures have begun to show the wealth of this city before entering the city gate.

Walking down the valley and stepping onto the flat ground, when rows of solid breadstone roads appeared in everyone's eyes, everyone seemed to return to Constantinople.

The "Anubis Tribe" located in the center of the black desert is a city that is seriously underestimated by the world.

In the early 21st century, when oil was discovered, many barren lands in the Middle East began to accumulate wealth rapidly.

Because in their eyes, the black oil extracted from the ground is similar to soil.

It is everywhere in the local area.

The same is true for the goods needed by Byzantine merchants in the Black Desert.

As more and more caravans and merchants poured into the Black Desert, the free people found that what they wanted was the mummies buried in the yellow sand tombs and the ancient relics buried with the mummies.

Although ancient Egypt has long disappeared, the pharaohs ruled this desert for 5,000 years. At its peak, there were millions of residents and a wide variety of foreign gods throughout ancient Egypt.

With such a large population base and thousands of years of rule, there are a large number of noble tombs buried in the valleys near several oases. The tombs of the pharaohs and high-level priests are equipped with complex traps and mechanisms, and the free people dare not enter without permission.

But entering the tombs of ordinary nobles or large slave owners and taking out three or five burial objects.

This is not difficult for them.

Find any valley, basin, sand dune, or hidden oasis, and you will find the tombs of the nobles as dense as anthills.

Since the days when the freemen hid from the Roman sheriffs, they have been digging the tombs of their ancestors.

They have been digging for 800 years, but only a small part of it has been dug out.

The stereotype of the freemen in the Mediterranean merchants is that they live in the deserted desert, endure the endless sandstorms every day, and rely on a few salt water wells and wild animal meat to survive.

However, when they really enter this land and successfully reach the village of the freemen, each of them will find that the construction of the freemen's city is more sophisticated than many Mediterranean cities.

Although this is a group of people who have lost their country, they have had a glorious past after all, and developed a civilization that most countries cannot match.

Needless to say, they also have the wealth accumulated for them by millions of ancestors.

From the peak, follow the steps into the basin, and the main entrance of the Mbia Oasis is a city gate composed of 6 obelisks.

People often use pyramids as a symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization. Little did they know that the majestic size of the pyramids seemed shocking, but it was their obelisks that could better reflect the powerful construction skills of the ancient Egyptians.

Obelisks with a height of about 50-80 meters are usually stacked with 6-7 finely cut marble blocks, on which the history of the city and the names of the rulers are engraved.

Not to mention the marble weighing tens or hundreds of tons, even if six or seven dice were piled together, this fragile pillar might collapse under the stimulation of any external force.

After carving a few natural marbles into natural arcs, they were stacked up and down and placed in an uninhabited wilderness, allowing the strong wind to devour them at will.

This kind of architectural creation can last for thousands of years without corrosion or collapse, which already contains a kind of architectural craftsmanship that is almost heavenly.

Just after entering the city gate, Lao Hash once again felt the discomfort of being on his back.

For more than 40 years, he has walked this route once a year. Mbia Oasis is a must-go for desert trips. This oasis is located in the center of the five major tribes and is the largest gathering place for free people in the Black Desert.

The permanent population of the city is more than 60,000, accounting for half of the total population of freemen.

In the past, every time I entered the Mbia Oasis, a large number of people gathered in the city, and the streets were filled with freemen traveling and the carriages of nobles.

However, this time when I entered the city

Under the blazing sun, the breeze blew up the yellow sand in the city, and there were only a few sparse figures on the streets.

According to what often happened in the past, the free children should have gathered when the caravan entered the city.

Old Hash looked at the houses around him with a sullen face and put down the candied candies he was holding tightly in his hand.

The city was not empty, but the few travelers on the street looked hurried. They were wrapped in robes and disappeared quickly in the fine sand and hot wind at a speed close to trotting.

As for other residents along the way. Those who heard the bells of the caravan did not stick their heads out to observe, but instead closed the doors and windows tightly.

The empty streets formed a sharp contrast with the luxuriously decorated city, which cast a layer of clouds over everyone's heart.

"Brothers, be careful."

"Don't go out after entering the city. Everyone, don't go out after entering the hotel. I'll go to the market to find out what happened here."

"Remember not to wander around."

"Especially don't leave the team!"

The Hash Caravan chose to enter the city on a clear and cloudless day. The caravan moved very slowly in the city, and even deliberately stopped after passing a few streets, and the guards first explored.

After crossing seven streets, the Hash Caravan finally saw the huge outline of the Temple of Anubis.

This is a huge building built with four gods sitting side by side. In the faint scorching sand, simply seeing the huge outline can give people a great sense of oppression.

The gate of the temple was closed, and the square in front of the gate was empty. Only two free priests covered in azure robes stood in the center of the square.

Old Hash turned his head and looked at Heath.

He nodded gently.
