Although the idea is good, the reality is always unexpected.
"Hey, even if you kill me, you can't get any information out of me!"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth hard, and there was a "click" sound. Something seemed to break in his mouth, and then his Adam's apple rolled rapidly again.
"You want to kill yourself by taking poison?"
Ye Chen frowned.
But when he tried to stop it, it was already too late.
The man's face quickly turned blue, his eye circles turned purple, and his body twitched and trembled violently in space.
"You will regret standing up for them!"
Before he died, the assassin said such extremely hateful words to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
But before he could say anything, the assassin's body suddenly softened and he quickly fell to the ground below.
"Brother Ye, it seems that this assassin has disappointed you!"
While Guo Qin let out a long sigh, he also sighed: "These assassins should have put life and death aside before taking action!"
Ye Chen didn't answer.
But his face looked a little ugly.
He just left an assassin behind just because he wanted to find out from the other party who was behind the scenes and the identities of the two Guo Qin brothers.
He never thought that the other party would rather commit suicide by taking poison than betray his employer to save his life.
This kind of professional ethics really made him admire and helpless at the same time.
"Master Ye, since my brother promised you that he would tell you everything when we get to the border of the Western Regions, he will not break his promise!"
Seeing that Ye Chen was a little unhappy, Guo Mingyue said hurriedly: "Since we are already halfway and not far apart, why are you in a hurry?"
After a pause, she continued to add: "What's more, we have no ill intentions towards you, and with our cultivation, we cannot pose any threat to you. What are you worried about?"
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen was too lazy to listen to what the other party said, and immediately said to the golden-armored lightning eagle sitting next to him: "Continue flying westward!"
"Chirp!"
The golden-armored lightning eagle made a long cry, flapped its broad wings, and flew them quickly to the west.
Everything went smoothly next, and no assassins appeared again. Ten days later, they finally arrived in the Western Region as they wished.
At a glance, the sky ahead is filled with dust and golden color, and there is no end in sight.
"Has this entered the Western Wilderness?"
Looking at the desolate scene below, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.
He had long heard that the Western Regions were mostly deserts, but now that he was there, he realized that he had underestimated the harsh environment here.
They have been flying in the desert for two hours, but still haven't seen an oasis.
In the desert, except for the constant strong wind blowing dust all over the sky, there is no life and no human beings everywhere.
If warriors below the emperor level without battle pets and unable to fly in the air enter here, they will probably face the tragic ending of starvation or thirst, let alone ordinary people.
"The empire's western wasteland has been like this since thousands of years ago!"
Guo Qin also lamented: "The people living here are either extremely tenacious local residents or exiled criminals. Compared with the prosperous scene of the imperial capital, they are like two worlds!"
"Is the entire Western Region like this?"
Jinlin asked.
"That's not true!"
Guo Qin shook his head and corrected: "Only the Taal Desert has thousands of miles of yellow sand. There are still vegetation in other areas of the Western Region, but overall they are relatively desolate!"
"So, we have entered the Thar Desert?"
Jinlin asked again.
"If my estimate is good, it should be!"
Guo Qin didn't seem too sure.
Now it was Ye Chen's turn to be depressed, "So, you are just leading the way blindly?"
He also thought that the other party knew more about the Western Regions, so he dared to take them deep into this endless desert.
Now it seems that this guy is just wandering around like a headless fly.
The main reason is that the other party didn't tell me earlier, and now he admits it after seeing the clues. Isn't this a trick to him?
"Brother Ye, don't get too excited. Before I came here, I had carefully read the map of the Western Regions and learned a lot about the people and customs of the Western Regions..."
Guo Qin was very confident in what he said, but Ye Chen's face turned even uglier.
It turns out that I just saw the map and heard about human relations and customs from others?
Does this count as having a relatively good understanding of the Western Regions?
According to this theory, he also understands the mystery of the birth of the universe.
No matter how depressed he was, now that the matter had come to this, he was too lazy to get to know each other, and just asked: "Then can you determine where we are in the Western Region now?"
"I...uh...how about I study the map first!"
Guo Qin smiled and immediately took out a piece of drawing paper from the space bracelet.
Above is a map of the entire Yongan Empire.
Ye Chen also came over curiously.
As a result, at this glance, his face suddenly became filled with black lines.
This map is simply too simple. It only has a rough imperial pattern, as well as the rough scope of the five major regions marked in the east, west, south, north, and middle, as well as some relatively famous place names.
More specifically, there is none.
However, what made him even more depressed was that Guo Qin pointed out the country on the map with a serious face and made a lot of well-founded guesses.
"According to the ecological environment I have learned before, I am sure... ah no, I guess we should have entered the edge of the Taal Desert now!"
He pointed to a point on the map and said seriously: "I guess we are at this location!"
"Is the Thar Desert really uninhabited?"
Ye Chen asked.
"have!"
This time Guo Qin answered definitely, "There will be some oases deep in the desert, and there will be people living in these oases!"
"In that case, just ask someone directly, don't waste time researching here!"
"This...is good!"
Guo Qin hesitated for a moment and nodded awkwardly.
Next, several people continued to advance deeper into the Thar Desert.
Sure enough, just after flying forward for an hour, an oasis appeared vaguely at the end of the vast yellow sand.
The oasis was very wide, about ten miles away. The area around the oasis was covered with vegetation, and it was so green that it stood out among the yellow sand in the sky.
And in the middle of the oasis, you can still vaguely see many buildings.
"It seems that there are people living here, let's go there and ask!"
Ye Chen was overjoyed and immediately drove the golden-armored lightning eagle to fly towards the oasis.
But before they got close, they heard a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound piercing the air, and hundreds of figures suddenly rushed out of the oasis, like locusts all over the sky, flying quickly towards the golden-armored Lightning Eagle that Ye Chen and the others were riding.
"There are actually so many emperor-level warriors?"
Jin Lin couldn't help but let out a low cry.
Ye Chen was also a little shocked and subconsciously looked at Guo Qin next to him, "Didn't you say that the Western Region is desolate and remote?
How come there are so many emperor-level warriors?"
In the Central Region where strong men gather, a medium-sized force only has hundreds of emperor-level warriors.
Even a super power like Qianqiu Pavilion only has a few hundred warriors above the emperor level.
Logically speaking, in a desolate area like the Western Region, it would be good to see human habitation. Even if there are some warriors, their cultivation level should be extremely low.
As a result, as soon as they saw an oasis, hundreds of emperor-level warriors rushed out. This was a terrifying pace.
