Faced with Jiang Liu'er's rhetorical question, it was certainly impossible for them to sympathize with those indifferent and ruthless children of aristocratic families.
Even if you are killed by all your own guards, you are asking for it.
They tidied up a little, took some elixirs to heal injuries and restore vitality, and then filled all the utensils that could be used to hold water with clean water.
Then they supported each other and headed towards the western desert. Now there is only one way to go that way, and there is no way back.
Walking on the road, Liu Menghan said to Zhizunbao: "You have to be careful about them. None of these people are honest. They all have something hidden."
Zhizunbao nodded slightly, knowing what Liu Menghan meant.
Needless to say, Jiang Liuer's behavior since his fight with Qiu Wu just now has been completely different from his usual performance. Not only has his personality changed, but he who was originally completely ignorant of martial arts has suddenly become as powerful as anyone on earth.
Top 30 on the list. Easily eliminated one of Qiu Wu's Qi Jin clones.
Even Xu Lan, who has always been loyal and polite, actually hid a lot of strength. If it hadn't been for his last sword swing, everyone would have died at the hands of Qiu Wu sooner or later.
In terms of the level of that sword, it was already much better than his junior sister Luo Xiuxin.
In this way, the group walked in the desert for three days and three nights while supporting and cooperating while being wary of each other.
The vitality of heaven and earth here is much more depleted than other places, so that everyone's physical strength is exhausted faster than before, and recovery is also slower.
Only Supreme Treasure is still alive and kicking, seemingly unaffected. Yes, his physique seems to be able to ignore the influence of the natural environment. Everything is as normal, which seems extremely strange.
Although he is the weakest of all the people here, in a few days, when the water he carries with him is exhausted and no water source can be found, no one will be able to match this monkey.
As expected, blessings come in pairs and misfortunes never come alone.
On the seventh day of walking in the desert, all the fresh water was exhausted. A few people walked on foot under the scorching sun, with no end in sight.
Suddenly Xu Lan fell into quicksand. Everyone had encountered quicksand several times along the way, but with their own strength, quicksand could not trap anyone.
But this time it was different. The quicksand seemed to be alive and actually swept Xu Lan underground.
Luo Xiuxin grabbed his hand immediately, but with her internal strength, she couldn't pull Xu Lan back.
When he was anxious, he grabbed Luo Xiuxin with two hands, one on the left and the other on the right. On one side was Jiang Liu'er with a gloomy face, who seemed quite unwilling to save people, and on the other side was Zhizunbao, who broke away from Liu Menghan.
He came to save people, so he was a little late.
Luo Xiu couldn't thank you enough and said: "There seems to be something under the quicksand. You two need to use your inner strength. Pay special attention to the soft sand under your feet. I wonder if you will also sink into the quicksand. If it doesn't work, just give up."
Liu Menghan stood in the distance, wrapping the three of them with sleeve ribbons from a distance.
She said helplessly: "I didn't want to help, but I have no choice. These two have taken action, and I can't just watch. Hey, Luo Nuxia, don't give up yet."
Luo Xiuxin gave a wry smile, looking at Xu Lan in front of her who had submerged into the sand, and thought to herself: Senior brother is going down, we can't hurt others, let's use our inner strength to bounce them away.
As soon as the thought came to mind, Jiang Liu'er and Zhi Zun Bao felt as if they were electrocuted in the palms of their hands. With a cry of surprise, they both let go and watched Luo Xiuxin throw herself into the center of the quicksand, holding her senior brother's hand and sinking together.
Jiang Liuer sat down on the ground, "What a waste of effort! Let's keep walking!"
Zhizunbao hammered the sand in annoyance, got up and walked to Liu Menghan's side. Liu Menghan gave a wry smile and continued to move westward with Jiang Liu'er...
Xu Lan and Luo Xiuxin were swallowed by the quicksand, but kept falling down until their feet were empty. They slipped into a steep slope, and then hugged each other and slid down the steep slope to an unknown depth.
The two men screamed nervously when they suddenly flew out, and below was an abandoned city. The outline of the city was still visible, but most of the buildings had collapsed, and there were endless buildings buried in the yellow sand further away.
This city is extremely vast. Although it is not as large as the Nine Cities of Chang'an, it is at least half the size. It must have once been an extremely bright pearl in this lost desert, but it suffered some kind of disaster and was completely buried in it.
In the sea of sand.
The two figures were half-empty, and they couldn't think in detail, because no matter how hard they tried, once they fell and hit the ground, they would either die or become paralyzed.
Xu Lan suddenly said: "Junior sister, there is so much spiritual energy here!"
Luo Xiuxin woke up with a start while using the technique of lightening herself while controlling the sword.
The two of them stepped on the swords, gliding along with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and finally landed firmly on the ground. They immediately felt happy to survive the disaster.
Xu Lan looked around and wondered: "Why do we never hear of such a huge city existing in the western desert in ancient historical books?"
"Brother, all I know now is that if we don't find a water source soon, I'm afraid we will live in this city forever."
Hearing Luo Xiuxin's small complaint, Xu Lan smiled helplessly. He thought for a while and said: "When it was rolled down just now, it should be dozens of feet above the ground.
At such a high altitude, it stands to reason that it should be close to the underground river, and whether a city is abandoned or not, there must be water sources nearby. I just hope that the changes will not change too much."
The two held hands and began to explore this silent city in the desert.
They found what seemed to be traces of a river bed, passing through the center of the city, but it was obvious that the river bed had long since dried up, and there was no trace of moisture on the land. There must be no underground river below.
They also discovered a palace-like building, and from some inscriptions inside, they saw some text inscriptions that did not belong to this era.
Xu Lan memorized all the contents of these inscriptions, and thought that if there was a chance in the future, he would try to decipher them and learn about the origin of this underground ancient city.
His nerdy spirit did not allow the two of them to successfully find the water source. It was not until many days later that the two finally ran out of energy and fell to the ground cuddling together.
Xu Lan gradually closed his eyes. When his consciousness disappeared, he seemed to see three figures floating over, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.
On the other side, Jiang Liuer, Liu Menghan and Zhizunbao had been walking in the desert for many days, and they didn't know if they were lucky or not.
The Supreme Treasure has a unique spirituality. Before it realized that its life was about to be exhausted, its spiritual awareness burst out and successfully led the two of them to an oasis that was about to disappear.
There is water in the oasis, but it is bitter water that contains extremely poison.
This poison is not a great threat to Liu Menghan and Zhizunbao. As monsters, they have a metabolic ability different from humans, which is enough to eliminate the toxicity of these minerals.
For Jiang Liu'er, drinking this water was only slightly better than living in the desert and working to death. He couldn't help but hesitate, and then looked at Liu Menghan and the Supreme Treasure.
Liu Menghan said quickly: "Don't look at me. I'm a demon and you're a human. I can't cure this poison. It's all based on the body's instinctive reaction. Besides, it's so bitter and unpleasant to drink. Even if we drink it, we'll feel uncomfortable in our stomachs."
Jiang Liuer frowned slightly, looking at the turbid water, and then at the wind and sand that was gradually rising on the desert.
It is estimated that this small oasis will be completely buried in a sandstorm in a short time, and then it will really have to die of thirst.
He frowned slightly, looked at the dry trees on the side, and suddenly said to Liu Menghan: "Please lend me the gauze scarf you are wearing."
