The yellow sand is diffuse and boundless, and the sharp wind blows so hard that it hurts people's faces.
Zhu Youji and his party, led by Gao Subaru, slowly retreated and "moved forward" in the direction of the map in an extremely strange way.
In the lost desert where space is chaotic, the front, back, left, and right are completely reversed.
Front is back, left is right, right is left, and up is down.
In this environment, the backward walking of Zhu Youji and others is, in a sense, moving forward.
As for why we should walk backwards instead of walking directly backwards, the experienced Gao Subaru answered this way:
"The Lost Desert is called the Lost Desert because of its extremely special geographical location and the chaotic power of laws around it."
"Some people say that the reason why the Lost Desert is so chaotic is because it is the ruins of the divine war. The originally stable laws have been completely destroyed by the battle of the gods."
"So, only by walking backwards can we always remember our most correct direction."
"In the lost desert, you are most afraid of losing your way and misjudging your position."
No one had any reaction to this speculation.
Many people know about the six realms.
Even if they don't know it, the awe of the gods is actually not too high for adventurers and desperadoes like them.
Zhu Youji and his party marched for almost half an hour, passing through the Gobi and small hills. They were very peaceful the whole time. They were not attacked by monsters and no one was missing.
Many Xuantian Guards' vigilance has dropped a lot.
Many Xuantianwei cursed in their hearts, feeling that Gao Subaru was being alarmist: Is that it?
Did you think it would be so dangerous?
Nothing happened...
Gao Subaru watched with cold eyes, and did not say a word to remind him of this scene.
"Where are we now?"
Zhu Youji looked at the yellow sand around him, his expression unchanged, and asked.
Gao Subaru took out the map, and after a brief identification, he responded in a low voice: "Master Liu, we have reached Huangqiu. This is the first resting place in the safe channel. There is a water source over there. We can replenish fresh water. , take a rest.”
"Yeah." Zhu Youji hummed softly and continued to ask: "According to our progress, how long will it take to get out of the safe channel?"
"It will take almost a day and a night for us to leave the middle section of the safe channel, enter the chaotic area, and start heading towards the ancient ruins." Gao Subaru thought for a while and replied.
"Yeah." Zhu Youji nodded slightly. He naturally noticed that some people were tired, which was normal.
No matter who it is, when they first enter the Lost Desert, after listening to Gao Subaru's story, they will definitely feel a hundred times more energetic about this unknown fear.
But as we go deeper and no danger is found, people's luck mentality will kick in.
I think this is just Gao Subaru's alarmist talk.
It is impossible for people to be tense all the time.
"The safe channel has many adventurers walking every day and there are many caravans coming and going, so it is relatively safe." Gao Subaru looked at the surrounding environment and said softly.
"Being vigilant at all times is a responsibility for yourself and the team." Zhu Youji responded calmly.
…
The upper realm, the nameless secret realm.
As the sword energy was restrained, the fluctuations of spiritual energy disappeared, and all the strange things disappeared.
At the very center of the fluctuation, a figure stood, with a restrained aura, as if there was nothing there, ragged clothes, and a frail figure.
The long sword in his hand broke every inch, turned into pieces of iron, and fell to the ground.
There is no trace of cultivation in the man's body, just like an ordinary person.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Wuhen who was not far away showed a satisfied smile and murmured: "The brilliance is restrained, round and smooth..."
The man turned his head silently, a little confused about his own state.
"hehe."
Mr. Wuhen smiled softly and said, "Try to activate the Qi and see what it feels like?"
Xu Yongan nodded slightly and began to mobilize the true energy in his body. In an instant, he felt severe pain in his Dantian. He quickly covered his abdomen and felt that something had cracked and was running around in his body.
The next moment, the rising true energy, accompanied by the extremely rich sword intent, suddenly appeared in Xu Yongan's palm.
Although there is only a trace, it contains enough power to destroy most of the forest.
Xu Yongan is a swordsman, and he can best understand the power in his hands at this moment.
After Xu Yongan understood that he had become stronger, even the pain in his abdomen had eased a bit, and an excited smile appeared on his face.
"Cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, Xu Yongan coughed up blood from his mouth, his face turned pale, and the energy in his palms gradually weakened until it disappeared without a trace.
His legs softened and he knelt on the ground.
"What...what's going on?" Xu Yongan knelt down on the ground and looked at Mr. Wuhen in confusion, showing a trace of confusion.
"Your body is too weak and cannot support the sword intention and sword energy provided by Jianwan. You should start to temper your body. Ancient sword cultivation emphasizes the integration of man and sword. People are swords, and swords are also people."
"Only by tempering the body to be harder than the sword can it withstand the huge burden and pain caused by the sword pill being fully activated."
Mr. Wuhen explained expressionlessly, as if he had anticipated this situation.
"So that's it..." Xu Yongan climbed up with difficulty.
Young Master Wuhen threw out a jade bottle and ordered: "Take one pill first."
Xu Yongan looked at the crystal clear jade bottle in his hand and the red pill inside. He opened the cork, took out a pill, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.
As soon as the red pill was taken down, the powerful medicinal power spread out instantly.
Xu Yongan's originally pale face suddenly became filled with blood, and the sense of emptiness in his body gradually disappeared.
This... is so amazing. What kind of elixir is this?
Xu Yongan became more curious about the origin of Mr. Wuhen, and his eyes unconsciously turned into awe.
"Someone is coming, and he should be your enemy."
"What to do, you should know..."
"Bring me the remaining six seeds."
Young Master Wuhen waved his sleeves lightly, took the shadow sword, and turned around to leave.
Xu Yongan watched Mr. Wuhen leave with mixed feelings in his heart.
Although Xu Yongan still hasn't fully guessed Master Wuhen's intentions until now, he knows one thing very well, that is, only by listening to him can he have a chance to survive the siege and killing by the disciples of Fengyun Sword Tomb.
Get down and fight your way out.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Several crackling sounds sounded in the air.
Several figures, from far to near, quickly approached Xu Yongan's position.
Hearing this voice, Xu Yongan calmed down and still stood there, waiting for someone to come.
