"I don't think it's possible to enter directly. The destination on my grandfather's map is very close to the Black Desert. As for how far it is, we'll have to wait until we get there before we can confirm it!"
Zhuo Qunfeng explained.
"I remember you told me that your grandfather and the rest had to turn back because of a sandstorm, right?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Yes!"
Zhuo Qunfeng nodded. "There are no trees in the desert, so the wind is unimpeded. When the sandstorm comes, it's like a tsunami! It's even scarier than a tsunami!
"Even giant sand mountains can be blown away. Once people are buried, even with our cultivation bases, the only thing that awaits us is death!"
Luo Puti's face fell. Both Zhuo Qunfeng and Chen Xiaobei's combat power were around 100,000. If even they could not survive the sandstorm, how scary would it be?
"The weather is so nice and it's not the windy season yet. I don't think there will be a sandstorm, right?" Chen Xiaobei looked at the sky.
"Theoretically, there won't be any. But in reality, no one can guarantee that!"
Zhuo Qunfeng said. "This desert is called Taklamakan. When translated into Mandarin, it means' no return '!
My grandfather said that this is a forbidden place for humans! The people of Xijiang said that this place was abandoned by the gods and is now occupied by demons!
The deeper we go, the more things that cannot be explained by science will happen! Even with such good weather, we must not let our guard down! "
Chen and Luo could not help but nod their heads when they heard what Chen said.
Chen Xiaobei, especially, was even more vigilant.
Chen Xiaobei had heard about the Black Desert from Yue Changkong before. It was the most mobile desert in China.
When the wind blew, it could blow up a sand mountain. Once a normal person was swallowed by it, it would be like falling into a swamp. The more they struggled, the deeper they sank!
There was even a demigod who was buried alive by the sandstorm!
Luckily, Zhuo Qunfeng's grandfather and the rest of them retreated in time. If they had not left, they would have all died there.
"Are you ready? If you are, follow me. Let's go! "
At the front of the team, the grandson of the First Elder of the Kunlun Sect directly gave the order and led the team toward the destination on the map.
The leader of the team was supposed to be Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding 'ao.
However, after what happened last night, even though they had already explained it to everyone, they still couldn't keep their faces. Hence, they hid in the middle of the group and kept a low profile.
Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti purposely stayed at the back of the group. Other than Zhuo Qunfeng, they did not intend to interact too much with the rest.
If they didn't get along, it would be a waste of words. Taking care of themselves was the best result.
…
The journey in the morning was very smooth.
According to the established goal, everyone arrived at the first replenishment point on the map!
According to Zhuo Qunfeng's grandfather's records, there should be an oasis here that could provide fresh water.
However, although the journey was smooth, the water source here had already dried up. Only some dead plants could be seen, proving that there was indeed an oasis here.
The vicissitudes of life, especially in the desert. One day it was one, and the next day it would be another.
Hellguard! This was the best synonym for a mobile desert!
"All core disciples, check the water that you have with you. Let's see how many days we have left!" Grand Elder's grandson, Fang Lingce, ordered.
The 16 core disciples of Kunlun and Xingxiu factions took off their gear and began to check.
They did not use camels for this journey. Everything was carried by the core disciples.
Excluding the tents, rations, and water, they had only brought seven days' worth.
Zhou Xiaokun and the rest of the three generations not only did they not carry anything, they were also very wasteful with their water. In just a day and a half, they had used up almost three days' worth of water!
"Reporting to Second Shixiong! We have about four more days' worth of water! "A core disciple came to report.
Fang Lingce's brows furrowed as he ran to inform Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding 'ao of the situation.
"Master Zhou! Xingxiu Faction is here to help, not to suffer! If there's no water, I'm not going to accompany you! "Ding Ding 'ao said.
"Don't we still have four days' worth of water? Why are you in such a hurry, Master Ao? " Zhou Xiaokun said, "If there's really no other way, we can give you a portion of the water from Kunlun Faction!"
Fang Lingce frowned. "Elder Shixiong! We need water too! How are we going to split it? "
"Ask the core disciples to reduce their water consumption. One day's worth of water will be used for three days' worth!"
Zhou Xiaokun thought for a moment. "Also, don't give that Chen and Luo guy any more water! Not a single drop! Give Xingxiu Faction two days' worth of water! "
"This …" Fang Lingce felt that something was not right.
"What about this? Without Xingxiu Faction's help, what are we going to do if we run into any poisonous creatures in the future? "
Zhou Xiaokun said forcefully. "If anyone has any doubts, ask them to come and talk to me!"
"Yes …" Fang Lingce had no choice but to nod and leave.
In Kunlun Faction, Zhou Xiaokun, the young master of Kunlun Faction, had always been a tyrant. No one dared to disobey him.
"Master Ao! Are you satisfied now? "Zhou Xiaokun asked.
"Yes! I'm very satisfied! "
Ding Ding 'ao grinned. "Even if it's just to see Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti suffer, I have to stay! I'm really curious. If there's no water in the desert, will they kneel down and beg us? Hehehe … "
"Heh, even if they beg me, I won't give them water! Unless Luo Puti strips herself naked and lies on my bed! If not, I won't give them a single drop! "
Zhou Xiaokun raised an eyebrow and laughed arrogantly. "If you can afford to play, then play. If not, then get lost!"
"Yes! That's right! "Ding Ding 'ao chuckled." They're still too young to play with us! "
…
On the other side.
Zhuo Qunfeng came looking for Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti.
"What's wrong? Why the long face? "Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Elder Shixiong has ordered that from today onwards, we are not allowed to give you any water …" Zhuo Qunfeng said dejectedly.
"What?! You're not giving us water? How can you do that? "Luo Puti panicked.
If it were anyone else, they would have turned around and run.
But not Luo Puti. She was determined to enter the Black Desert. How could she just give up halfway?
More importantly, Zhou Xiaokun's expedition team had done a lot of research and preparation in addition to the road map!
Many of the unknowns could only be found out by following them.
When Chen Xiaobei agreed to go with Zhuo Qunfeng, it was because of this.
If they wanted to find the Black Desert, they could not leave the team now.
But if they did not leave the team, there would be no water!
Now that she was in a dilemma, Luo Puti panicked.
