A Desperate Man
West Desert.
The moment Long Fei's figure landed, he blew a mouthful of yellow sand into his mouth.
"Pui, pui, pui …"
At a glance, other than a small town not far away, it was all yellow sand.
Long Fei muttered, "A desert?"
"Ancestor, are you sure that immortal grass can grow in this kind of place?" Long Fei looked at the endless desert in disbelief. Forget about Spirit Grass, he did not even see a single weed in this place.
Yan Huang Ancestor said: "The Nine Flowers Immortal Grass does not need water to nourish it, what it absorbs is the desert management, and the desert sand crystal you are looking for is the same."
"It can only be found in the desert. Whether or not you can find it will depend on your luck and opportunity."
Long Fei patted the sand off his body and walked towards the small town.
The town's name was Sand Town.
Other than sand, there was only sand. There was a wall around the town, barely blocking the yellow sand's invasion.
Long Fei walked into the Sand Town.
The passersby on the street glanced at him, but did not look at him any further. The people who entered here were either fugitives, or they were being chased by others and had nowhere else to run, so they escaped into this desert.
There was another type of person.
It was also people like Long Fei, people who came to the desert to adventure.
Some people were searching for the Nine Flowers Immortal Grass, while others were searching for the ruins of the Immortal Sect. However, most of the people who entered the depths of the desert would not be able to come out alive.
The West Desert could be considered the largest desert in the Sky Martial Continent. It was powerful not because of the various dangerous demon beasts in the desert, but because of its climate.
Yellow sand filled the sky and the scorching sun hung high in the sky. Even the most thirsty camel would not be able to last three days here.
Not to mention the terrible weather like the Sand City Storm.
So …
This place also had another name, the Desert of Death.
"Uncle, do you know where I can find the Nine Flowers Immortal Grass?" Long Fei found a street vendor and asked.
The vendor shook his head and said: "I've never heard of it."
"Go ask elsewhere."
Long Fei said: "Thank you."
After asking a few people, none of them had heard of the Nine Flowers Immortal Grass. However, since the ancestor said that it grew in the desert, then it must not be wrong.
At this moment.
A slightly portly elderly man approached them, and he carefully examined Long Fei before asking, "Are you looking for the Nine Flower Immortal Herb, Little Brother?"
Long Fei was worried about not being able to find any clues.
The desert was so big. How could they find it without any clues?
Looking at the stout old man, Long Fei immediately said, "Uncle, do you know?"
The elder's eyes narrowed into slits as he said, "I do. The Nine Flowers Immortal Grass grows in the desert, a sacred flower of the desert. It blooms with nine flowers, and every single flower is different. It is a top grade immortal grade spirit grass, worth over a hundred immortal stones."
Long Fei thought to himself, "Is Ancestor right?"
Long Fei was naturally wary of the smiling Fatso.
In the game, such people were often profiteers.
Yan Huang Ancestor replied, "More or less. He should have seen the Nine Flowers Immortal Grass before."
Long Fei asked: "Uncle, do you know where the Nine Flowers Immortal Grass grows in the desert?"
The stout old man's eyes narrowed again. His face had a lot of meat, and when he smiled, he squinted his eyes and said, "I know, but little brother, it's too dangerous for you to enter the desert alone."
"How about this, seeing that you're alone and weak, it's easy to lose your way. If you have a secret history, then it's equivalent to standing with the god of death."
"Why don't you come with my caravan?"
Long Fei cursed in his heart, "Damn, you really are a profiteer. You said it so nicely, but you just want me to be your guard, right?"
It was also at this time.
The system sounded out.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to player 'Long Fei' for triggering the Escort Quest."
"Quest Level: S!"
"Quest Time: Fifteen Days!"
"Quest Reward: 1 million experience points, 20,000 immortal power, quest completion reaches S level, you will receive an immortal treasure lottery."
"Do you accept?"
Long Fei muttered in his heart, "Since I've already triggered the quest, and I have no clue about the Nine Flowers Immortal Grass, I can only accept it first."
"Ding!"
"Quest accepted!"
Although he had accepted the mission, Long Fei did not immediately agree to the old man's request. Instead, he pretended to be in a difficult position and said: "Uncle, I'm not in a hurry to find the Nine Flowers Immortal Grass, I think it's better if I don't go with you …"
With that, Long Fei turned around and was about to leave.
It was also at this time that the old man grabbed onto Long Fei's arm and said: "Young hero, please help me, my caravan has suffered heavy losses and there are not many people left, I can tell that you are a kind person, you definitely won't leave me in the lurch, right? I swear to the heavens, I will definitely bring you to find the Nine Flowers Immortal Grass. "
"What do you think?"
"Three immortal stones as a reward?" The old man took out a celestial stone from his bosom and placed it in Long Fei's hand, then said: "This is the deposit, when my goods are delivered, I will give you the other two together, what do you think?"
The expression in Long Fei's eyes changed.
He thought to himself, "This old man is so generous, he's using celestial stones right off the bat."
"What exactly are the goods he's escorting?"
Suddenly.
Long Fei was curious.
Following that, Long Fei said to the old man: "Five celestial stones!"
The rich old man immediately smiled and said while gritting his teeth: "Five celestial stones, then five celestial stones. When we reach the destination, I'll give you the remaining four celestial stones."
"It's decided then." Long Fei laughed out loud.
The old man laughed even harder.
Following that.
The old man brought Long Fei into a tavern. This was also the only tavern in this town.
He walked in to take a look.
It was a little like the kind of tavern in American westerns. When he pushed open the door, he saw a group of people sitting inside. These people all had a common characteristic, their appearances were very ferocious.
Either there was a scar on his face.
Or there was a slave mark on his face. Their eyes were filled with hostility. Only when they saw that it was the old man did the hostility in their eyes disappear.
Maintain a state of vigilance at all times.
These people …
Long Fei thought to himself: "Desperados!"
Only desperados would be like this. They would maintain their vigilance at all times to prevent themselves from being killed.
The old man clapped his hands and said, "Let me introduce you to everyone, this is our new partner."
"Little brother, what's your name?"
Long Fei smiled faintly, looked at them and said: "My name is Long Fei."
The old man said: "Long Fei, let's get to know each other."
Then, the old man introduced himself, "I'm Chen, you can call me Uncle Chen, or Old Man Chen, it doesn't matter. I'm the manager of this cargo escort."
"He's called Dao Ba."
"The one over there is called Hei Shan, he's the blackest one, one-eyed, bald, and a few others over there." Old Man Chen introduced them one by one.
Following that.
Uncle Chen said, "Everyone is here. You guys rest for another hour, then we'll be on our way."
With that, Uncle Chen turned around and left the tavern.
