"Miss Murong, if you hadn't taken action in time this time, I'm afraid we would have already fed those damn reptiles by now. I, Yuanmeng, am a rough man. I don't know what to say if you want to thank me, but it's a so-called great favor."
Without saying thanks, I, Yuanmeng, will remember your kindness. If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to me. As long as I can do it, I, Yuanmeng, will never shirk it!"
Yuan Meng patted his chest in assurance. After saying that, he looked at the people around him, patted his forehead again, and introduced Murong Yunqing: "I forgot to introduce you. This Yuan Mang is my younger brother, this great beauty.
, Yuan Tianyun, as for this little brother, he is a hero."
Yuanmeng's behavior made Murong Yunqing feel a little friendly towards him. Generally speaking, people with a bold temperament don't have too many twists and turns. When getting along with such people, at least they don't have to worry about being hurt all day long.
Afraid, afraid that someone would suddenly stab me in the back that day.
With Yuan Meng's introduction, Murong Yunqing, Yuan Mang, Yuan Tianyun, and that cute little brother, Yuan Xun, all said hello one by one. At the same time, Anna and Tan Yi were also briefly introduced.
In this way, Murong Yunqing and the other four people had a preliminary understanding.
At this moment, Yuan Mang suddenly spoke. His character was the same as Yuan Meng's, he went straight to the point.
"Miss Murong, let me take the liberty to ask, you are all from outside, right?"
Murong Yunqing, Tan Yi, and Anna were all stunned when they heard this sentence.
Because, Yuan Mang's words were not only asking about their origins, but also talking about their own origins.
What does it mean to be ‘from outside’?
Where is this place? The Desert of Death! Outside the Desert of Death? Yes, they did come from outside the Desert of Death.
However, listening to the meaning of Yuan Mang's words, doesn't it mean that Yuan Mang and the others have been living in the desert of death? Otherwise, how can there be such a saying as "coming from outside"?
Thinking of this, Murong Yunqing and the other two people felt their whole bodies tingling for a while, because if things were really what they guessed, it would be really shocking.
One of the rare mysterious places in the Source Star, it is also known as the Death Desert. I don’t know how many powerful people have been buried in the Death Desert for thousands of years. There are actually people living in it?
"You! You have been living in the desert of death!?"
Princess Anna blurted out in disbelief, but as soon as the words came out, she quickly covered her mouth, knowing that she had made a mistake.
Murong Yunqing and Tan Yi both sighed slightly. As soon as Anna said this, there was basically no room for relaxation between the two parties. Sometimes, it is better not to put things on the table that everyone knows well.
.
Just like this time, Princess Anna's words undoubtedly pointed out the origins of herself and others.
Moreover, it was also revealed that he and others already knew the origin of the other party. In this way, as long as they can get out, the secret here will no longer be a secret.
Although both parties have already guessed it even if they don't say it, they can at least pretend to be confused and don't point it out, so there is still room for maneuver.
However, Murong Yunqing is not afraid. With her current strength, she does not need to be afraid of facing these people in front of her. However, subconsciously, Murong Yunqing does not want to cause more trouble.
However, Yuan Meng, Yuan Mang, and Yuan Tianyun did not change their faces as much as Murong Yunqing thought. They all had calm faces, as if they had fully expected the reaction of Murong Yunqing and others.
Only the little hero was still pouting at the side, obviously still thinking about Murong Yunqing's previous actions.
Seeing that the other party didn't mind, Murong Yunqing let go and simply stopped being secretive and directly explained the origins of himself and others. However, he just said that they had strayed into the Desert of Death.
"
Are you really from outside?!!”
Yuan Meng's eyes were bright and his expression seemed a little excited. On the other hand, Yuan Mang and Yuan Tianyun, although their performance was not as obvious as Yuan Meng's, the glint in their eyes was still caught by Murong Yunqing.
Murong Yunqing nodded. She was not prepared to hide anything, so she directly asked Yuan Meng and others: "Have you been living in the desert of death?"
"Yes, our family has always lived here. But, Miss Murong, I wonder if I should say something...?"
Hearing this, Murong Yunqing frowned immediately. She knew that what Yuan Meng was going to say next was the key point.
"But it doesn't matter!"
Yuan Meng smiled slightly, glanced at Yuan Mang and Yuan Tianyun, and then said:
"Miss Murong, this is already the deepest part of the Desert of Death. To be honest, under normal circumstances, with your level of cultivation, you shouldn't be able to come here.
Now that you have gone deep here, it is impossible to get out! Let alone you, even the top experts will never be able to get out again..."
Murong Yunqing, Tan Yi, and Princess Anna all changed their expressions when they heard what Yuanmeng said.
But then, they figured it out. In the Desert of Death, no one has known its secrets for tens of thousands of years, which proves that what Yuanmeng said is true. Otherwise, the 'family' he mentioned would have been common to everyone in the world.
Got it.
Just when Murong Yunqing and others wanted to say something, Yuanmeng spoke again.
"However, since you have saved us, you are considered our saviors. Naturally, we cannot see you die here. I can take you out, but the premise is that you agree to two conditions!"
Yuanmeng's words made Murong Yunqing raise his brows slightly. After all, when he said this, he obviously felt like he was trying to repay a favor. But Murong Yunqing did not express his unhappiness in his heart. He just frowned and remained silent.
After a moment, he spoke.
"What are the conditions, please tell me first!"
"Haha, the conditions are very simple. First, there is no way for us alone to send you out. We need to return to the clan together to report to the elders. Of course, I can absolutely guarantee your safety. My request is,
After you get out, you can’t tell anyone about what happened here!”
Murong Yunqing pondered for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
This condition did not exceed her expectations at all, and even in Murong Yunqing's opinion, it should be so. What was just a little bit beyond her expectations was that she needed to return to her clan with Yuan Meng, which made her a little unpredictable.
.
You know, as far as the current situation is concerned, with her strength, there is no need to be afraid of Yuan Meng and others.
But if you go to their base camp, it will be obvious that the cultivation level of yourself and others is far from enough, and you will not be able to take the initiative at all.
Among them, if something unexpected happens, it means that we are trapped in the enemy camp, and I am afraid that I and others will have no choice but to suffer.
However, one thing that Yuan Meng really mentioned was her Achilles' heel. That is, if she didn't go, it would be impossible for herself and others to go out. In the past nearly a day, she and Tan Yi had spent a lot of time in
On the way.
The speed of seventh-level masters is far faster than that of ordinary people. But just like this, it took a whole day and still didn't get out of this desert. This reminded Murong Yunqing of what happened in Shennongjia.
It is very likely that the same formations were set up here as in Shennongjia. Otherwise, with their strength, they might not be far out of the desert even if they don't really get out of it.
However, Murong Yunqing was able to roughly judge the current location from the distribution of the vitality of heaven and earth. If it is close to the edge of the desert, the normal elements of water and wood should increase.
But in fact, after a whole day of rushing
The road and the distribution of elements between heaven and earth are still the same as before, and no change can be felt at all. This is obviously a problem!
Therefore, after much thought, Murong Yunqing decided to take the plunge, and then nodded and agreed to Yuan Meng's condition.
"The second condition: Miss Murong, I hope you can take me out with you!"
"And me!" Yuan Mang suddenly interrupted at this time.
"Me too, take me with you!" Yuan Tianyun also said with some excitement.
Just when Murong Yunqing was stunned by the words of several people, Yuanxun also spoke weakly from the side: "Well, can you take me with you too?"
"Um, what's wrong with you guys?"
Tan Yi and Princess Anna were a little speechless. Looking at the behavior of these people now, how could they look like hidden strong men? This performance completely exceeded the expectations of Murong Yunqing and the others.
"Haha! My benefactors, to tell you the truth, here... it's really... so boring! It's so boring that I'm going crazy. No, just like this time, the rest of us are also...
I really couldn’t stand the boredom anymore, so as soon as I broke through, I couldn’t wait to go around.”
At this point, Yuanmeng was a little embarrassed, touched his head, and continued in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Then, as you know, his grandma was so unlucky that she was surrounded by these guys as soon as she came out.
, I almost died without a damn! If I fucking died here, I would turn into a ghost and not even close my eyes."
"Yes, yes, Miss Murong, you must take us out!" Yuan Mang also looked at Murong Yunqing with longing.
"Huh? Since you want to go out, why don't you go out by yourself and do you want me to take you with you?"
Murong Yunqing was a little confused. Logically speaking, since these people have a way to get out, and they want to get out so much, they should naturally go out on their own. It's not like they are waiting for others, and they are here
's territory.
Yuan Tianyun, who rarely spoke at the side, could only smile bitterly when Murong Yunqing asked: "Sister Murong, you don't know. It's not that we don't want to go out, but that we can't go out.
As I told you before, since you are already here, you are actually the same as us and cannot get out at all. If you want to get out, it is impossible to get out unless the clan elders agree."
"How is that possible?" Tan Yi and Anna said in surprise at the same time: "The Desert of Death is really big, but if you want to go out, as long as the direction is good, you will have to go out one day, right?"
"How is it possible? If this were really the case, our clan would not be able to live in peace long ago?
Let me tell you the truth, tens of thousands of years ago, the ancestors of our clan used great magical power to cast supernatural powers, wrapping the entire desert of death in a barrier, and there were thousands of formations and various changes within the barrier.
, creating this place into an almost independent small world.
Not to mention whether we can reach the end of the barrier, even if we do get there, that layer of barrier is definitely not something we can destroy, so we won’t be able to get out at all.”
Yuan Tianyun couldn't help but feel a little frustrated as she spoke. It was easy to see that they might have really struggled a lot in order to get out these years.
However, although Yuan Tianyun's tone was depressed, Murong Yunqing, Tan Yi and Princess Anna could all hear the deep pride in her words, and the pride that went deep into her bones.
Moreover, Murong Yunqing also discovered that when Yuan Tianyun mentioned the ancestor she was talking about, even Yuan Meng, Yuan Mang, and even Yuan Xun, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, showed expressions full of pride.
In fact, Yuan Tianyun's words still shocked Murong Yunqing quite a bit.
How big is the Desert of Death? It stretches for tens of thousands of miles. If what Yuan Tianyun said is true, then how powerful is the senior who set up this barrier in the first place? Murong Yunqing can't even imagine it.
