Sima Youyue could not give an answer to this question.
"How strange! We're clearly walking in the direction we came from, but why do I feel like we're walking deeper and deeper! "Si Yue said doubtfully.
Sima Youyue raised her head and looked at the direction of the sun. She thought for a while and said, "I think I know the reason."
"What?"
"The oasis where we set up camp quietly changed direction at night." Sima Youyue said, "When we left, we went out the same way we came in. We thought that was the exit. We've been going straight, but it feels like we're going deeper and deeper. This is quite likely. Either that, or the space here has a folding property. "
It was just like the folded space he had encountered in the Immortal Land.
Other than these two reasons, she couldn't think of any other reason.
"Then should we go back?"
"Going back might not be the same way we came," Sima Youyue said, "We've been walking for a day and a night, so we might be heading in the wrong direction. Don't worry, let me do an experiment first. "
"What experiment?"
"You'll know when you see it. Let's find an oasis first. "
Half a day later, they found an oasis. Si Yue set up a tent at the side and Sima Youyue took out something that looked like a dart. After injecting spiritual energy into it, it actually floated in the air. Then, she took out three small flags of different colors and stuck them into the ground. The one in the middle was facing the thing in the air.
"We can use this to confirm if the direction has changed." Si Yue said in understanding.
"Alright, we'll know the results tomorrow. Let's go back and rest. "Sima Youyue clapped her hands and said.
On the morning of the second day, Sima Youyue heard Si Yue shouting in her tent.
"Youyue, it really moved!"
Sima Youyue went out and saw that the flag facing the dart had moved to the side. The dart was between it and another small flag.
Sima Youyue stepped forward and kept the flag. She raised her hand and the dart landed in her hand.
"It seems that my guess is correct. This is only the result of one night. It must have been moving during the day as well. " Her expression was solemn as she looked at the vast desert outside the oasis. No wonder so many people came in and never came out.
Because, no matter which direction he went, it might not be the right one!
"We can't feel any changes because we're already on the ground." Si Yue said, "That means we can't get out either."
"No. For others, they might not be able to leave. But we don't have to worry about this problem. "
After Sima Youyue finished speaking, she called out a few thousand scarlet bees and ordered them to fly in all directions. There would always be scarlet bees that could find it.
Si Yue looked at the densely packed scarlet bees and touched her arm. She was sure that she had goosebumps.
"You're really something. With them, all we need to do is wait here. "
"Yes." Sima Youyue said, "They will probably take some time to get out. Let's just wait here for news."
"This is good, but unfortunately, it's too hot. It's a little uncomfortable. "
Si Yue went back to the tent and changed into a fresh set of clothes. When she came out, she saw Sima Youyue preparing food again.
After a while, a bowl of cold and delicious fruit salad was placed in front of her. Half of it was filled with ice cubes.
"Wow! I was just saying that I lost my appetite because of the heat. I didn't expect you to make this. "Si Yue was pleasantly surprised as she hugged the plate and ate.
"You're a dark spiritual master and the dark spiritual energy in your body is of the cold attribute. That's why you'll feel uncomfortable in this hot desert." Sima Youyue said, "Although this can't cure the root of the problem, it can still help to relieve the heat temporarily."
"Yes, yes, it's delicious! Thank you, Youyue! "Si Yue looked at her gratefully. She was the one who protected her in Ghost City. Now, she was the one who took care of her. This friend of hers was really the right one!
They waited in the oasis for four days before the scarlet bees came back with news. This time, Sima Youyue didn't use her spiritual energy. Instead, she let Chongming and Little Roc take turns and fly out of the desert day and night.
When they returned to the campsite, Si Yue's guards ran over first.
"Miss, where did you go? Your subordinates were so worried. "
"I just went for a walk with Youyue. What are you all so worried about?!" Si Yue waved at them. She didn't like them watching her so closely.
"They're worried about you." Si Hui and Si Yi came out of the tent.
"Second Brother, Third Brother? Why are you guys here? " Si Yue looked at them and smiled as she held their arms, "Did you guys also want to see what the human realm is like?"
"They couldn't find you so they informed Father. Father told us to come and see you. "Si Hui said," You've only been out for a short while and you've already caused such a ruckus. "
"You guys came too quickly." Si Yue stuck out her tongue.
Sima Youyue was surprised to see them. It seemed like Ghost City had a special way of coming here.
"Second Brother, Third Brother." She bowed to them.
"We were actually quite worried about Lil 'Sis. When we heard that she went out with you, we waited here for you guys to come back." Si Yi said. His words were full of trust.
"What? I'm clearly stronger than Youyue. Why do you say it as if I'm the one who's stronger?" Si Yue pouted and protested like a child.
"I've always been worried about you," said Si Yi as he tickled her nose.
Although Sima Youyue wasn't very strong, she was very calm and careful. Otherwise, she wouldn't have caused such a huge commotion in Ghost City. As for her, her strength was higher than You Yue's, but her personality was careless and impatient. It really made people feel uneasy.
Wu Lingyu came out of the tent. Sima Youyue saw him and walked over with a smile.
"Why are you back so quickly?"
"I heard that you guys went missing so I rushed back." Wu Lingyu said, "What happened?"
"I did find out some secrets about the desert. I'll tell you when we get in."
Perhaps Sima Youyue's expression was too serious. Si Hui and the rest also became serious.
Did they really experience something in the past few days?
They entered the tent and Sima Youyue told them about her experience in the desert. After listening to her, they all frowned.
The oasis could actually change directions? Was it only the oasis or was it the case for the entire desert?
"Those people who went in to scout probably couldn't come out because of this." Si Hui said, "Luckily, you were here this time. Otherwise, Lil 'Sis wouldn't have been able to come out."
"Third Brother, you're too kind. If it wasn't for me, we wouldn't have been in such danger. However, we managed to find out some things about the desert. It's a good thing. "Sima Youyue smiled," Now, we have to solve the problem of direction first. If we can't solve it, it'll be too dangerous to go in! "
