1488 Dead Road
When everyone heard Shiying say that the monster was a human, most of them disagreed. Yang Yao slowly said, "How can a human have the ability of that monster?"
Shiying blushed slightly, "I made a random guess, don't be offended."
Shen Yue was unconvinced about whether the monster was human, and looked at Shituo and Wang Shuangquan.
Wang Shuangquan knelt in front of the fire, shivering. Surprisingly, he was still conscious. It was obvious that when he saw Shen Yue and others, he seemed to be frightened and couldn't say a word.
Shi Tuo passed out again.
Although he seemed to be inspired by Wanyan Lie and Yang Yao to avenge his father, he still fainted out of fear when the monster came.
Overcoming fear is never easy.
Shen Yue pointed his cell phone at the temples of the unconscious people one by one and pressed a few buttons.
Zhao Ji and others are still unconscious.
Shiying said worriedly, "They...they...will definitely wake up, right?"
Shen Yue comforted softly, "They will wake up."
Wanyan Lie said aside, "It would be a good thing if you can't wake up. Dying in a coma is much better than dying of thirst or freezing in the desert."
Shiying shuddered and looked at her father worriedly.
Shen Yue smiled, "They didn't wake up just because I wanted them to sleep a little longer, but in order to prevent their nerves from being damaged, I kept their brain waves in a harmonious state."
He knew that only Wanyan Lie could understand his explanation. Seeing that everyone was tired, he said slowly: "Let's rest first. Only if you have physical strength can you survive."
After he finished speaking, he first found a place to sit down.
Seeing this, the others felt that what Shen Yue said made sense. The night was extremely long and their spirits were tense. After listening to what Shen Yue said, they felt sore all over their bodies. Even a person like Wanyan Lie walked aside and closed his eyes. Meditate.
Yang Yao added a few more dead branches to the fire, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Shiying was also very sleepy. She thought it would be difficult for her to fall asleep in this environment, so she closed her eyes without thinking, and sleepiness came over her like a tide and swallowed her up.
She opened her eyes amidst Zhao Ji's low voice, and immediately saw her father's anxious expression, "Sayue, why are you asleep? Where are they?"
Shiying was slightly frightened and found that it was getting bright early. She looked around and found that Li Bin, Wang Shuangquan and others were all there, but like Shi Tuo, they were all still sound asleep.
"Dad, you are talking about..."
As soon as Shi Ying spoke, she knew her father was asking about which father was asking where Shen Yue had gone.
Shen Yue is not here!
Not only did Shen Yue disappear, but Wanyan Lie and Yang Yao were also absent.
Zhao Ji almost burst into tears, "You girl, why are you so careless? They all left and left without us."
Shiying said, "Dad, no, Mr. Shen will never leave us alone."
After leaving Bianjing and suffering for a long time, she was originally wary of the world, but at this moment, her heart was extremely determined.
Zhao Ji said angrily: "Why not? If they don't have us as burdens, wouldn't it be easier for them to leave the desert? At a time of life and death, who would..."
There was a slight cough next to him.
Zhao Ji turned around and saw that Wanyan Xiyin opened his eyes and sat up before he was about to say anything. Wanyan Xiyin said: "Mr. Shen and the others are back."
Zhao Ji hurriedly looked back and saw three people appearing on the other side of a high sand dune. When those people walked in, Zhao Ji saw that it was Shen Yue and the others. Gu
Crying with joy, Zhao Ji greeted, "Mr. Shen, you are back. I told Saiyue that Mr. Shen is by no means the kind of person who abandons us, but she is still a little worried about you..."
Shiying lowered her head, looking a little unnatural.
She knew her father was lying, but what could she do?
Shen Yue's eyes passed over several people and he said slowly, "We took a look at the surrounding terrain, but we didn't gain much. If we want to get out of the desert, we need to ask Shi Tuo, Wang Shuangquan and the others some questions."
The sound startled everyone and they all stood up.
Shi Tuo finally opened his eyes. Seeing Shen Yue, Shi Tuo was confused and moved his lips twice, "Are we...still alive?"
Wanyan Lie said coldly, "Yes, we are still alive, but it's hard to say how long we can survive. The old demon from Black Mountain was beaten away by Shen Yue."
Shituo showed a very surprised expression. He could not believe this, but the fact was that the old Black Mountain demon had indeed appeared, but they were all alive.
Wanyan Lie continued: "We have two options now, one is to find the old demon's lair and kill him, the other is to leave the desert first and then come back and kill him."
Zhao Ji whispered from the side: "Zhao thinks it's better to find a way out of the desert first."
Most of the people were nodding.
Shituo, however, felt desperate and murmured: "It's impossible, we can't get out of this desert."
Everyone's heart sank.
In any case, Shituo is a professional and an excellent desert guide. If he is so pessimistic, how can everyone be optimistic?
Shen Yue said calmly: "It is still possible to leave the desert, but we must first figure out where we are now?"
Some people looked into the distance and saw only yellow sand stretching to the sky, which made them even more uneasy.
Shituo was silent for a long time, and finally said: "We are in the middle of the Luobu Desert. Even if we have camels and drinking water, we still have to walk five days to the nearest Peacock Island."
Everyone's expressions changed. How could they hold on without food and water?
Shen Yue stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the desert, then drew a triangle in the center, and then said, "If this circle is the Lob Desert, and this triangle is our location, in which direction is Peacock Prefecture?"
Shituo hesitated for a moment, and finally clicked on a part of the triangle, "Northwest."
"The Peacock Prefecture is not out of the desert?" Shen Yue asked upon seeing this.
Shituo nodded, "We usually set off from the sandbank of Xia Kingdom..." He clicked on the edge of the circle to indicate that it was a sandbank, and explained: "Then the caravan usually arrives at Peacock Island via the desert, and then travels for more than ten days. , we can reach Kunlu, which has water sources and is out of the desert, and then we can continue to move westward and do business in Xiliao."
Shen Yue connected Shazhou, Peacock Island, and Kunlu into a line, and said slowly: "It seems that this is a very economical trade route." Because the three points are connected, it is almost the diameter of a circle.
Li Bin asked aside, "Is there a way from Shazhou to Kunlu without going through the desert?"
Shituo sighed, "Of course."
"Then why don't you take those routes?" Li Bin asked strangely, "This road in the desert looks very dangerous." Seeing Shituo looking at him with a strange look, Li Bin couldn't help but said: "What did I say wrong?"
Yang Yao said sarcastically, "Although you are in Jiaofang, I'm afraid you have never really experienced the sufferings of the people. The reason is simple, harsh government is fiercer than tigers, and it is also fiercer than deserts. Although deserts are terrible, those guarding tigers are stronger than deserts. It’s even scarier.”
Li Bin stopped talking.
Shituo sighed lightly, "It is true. This route is dangerous, but it is the shortest and there are no exorbitant taxes and duties blocking the road. Therefore, although it is harder, compared to the money earned, it is still worth the risk."
Shen Yue looked at the location on the map and said slowly: "It seems we only have one way to go to Peacock Island?"
