The crimson sun disappeared behind the golden sand.
Night had fallen.
The group had regrouped and stayed close to each other. They did not move too fast. In a situation like this, staying alive was more important than anything else.
"Elder Shixiong, why didn't you ask the plane to drop me food and water? I'm so thirsty and hungry. It's so tiring … "
Wang Mengyu pursed her cracked lips. Her mouth was so dry that there was not a single drop of saliva in it.
"Are you so thirsty that you've lost your mind? Take out your phone and see if there's still a signal. "
Zhou Xiaokun huffed. "If we could use the plane to drop us, we wouldn't have to go through all this! We could just drop us all the way to the destination! "
Wang Mengyu took out her phone. "You're right! There's no signal at all! Even the GPS is not responding! "
Ding Ding 'ao explained, "There's a very special magnetic field in the Black Desert. Almost all electronic devices are destroyed! There were people who tried to find us by plane! All of them crashed and none of them made it back! They couldn't even find the plane's black box! "
"Oh my god! We can't even find the black box! "Wang Mengyu was stunned.
The plane's black box was specifically used to locate the wreckage of the plane. When a plane crashed, it would use the strong signal from the black box to locate the wreckage of the plane!
Even the signal from the black box could be disrupted. That was how terrifying the magnetic field in the Black Desert was!
"If we can't even use the plane … If we can't find water, will we die?" Wang Mengyu's face was grim and worried.
"Don't say such things!"
Zhou Xiaokun said. "Once we reach the Black Desert, we will be able to find the ruins of the ancient city. If we're lucky, we'll be able to find water before dawn!"
"God, please let us find water … I don't want to die …" Wang Mengyu clasped her hands together and prayed sincerely.
Obviously, there were only two paths in front of everyone. They could either find water or die!
Other than praying, Wang Mengyu had no other choice.
"Look!"
Ding Ding 'ao said angrily, "Why is that shameless couple still looking so well? We're dying of thirst but their lips are still red! They're not dehydrated at all! There must be something wrong here! "
Wang Mengyu frowned. She was not happy that Ding Ding 'ao had called Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti a couple. Ever since Chen Xiaobei rescued her from the jaws of death, she was truly grateful to Chen Xiaobei.
But Ding Ding 'ao had lost an entire arm, and Wang Mengyu could not say anything about it. Although she was not happy about it, she could only keep quiet for now.
Her silence allowed her to hear a shocking secret.
Zhou Xiaokun said in a low voice, "Let's not mess with that shameless couple first! Perhaps there would be more Crimson Crowned Snakes appearing tonight! It won't be too late to deal with them after we find a water source! "
"Mm …" Ding Ding 'ao nodded, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Wang Mengyu was shocked. She thought that Elder Shixiong had already acknowledged Chen Xiaobei. She did not expect that he was still trying to set Chen Xiaobei up!
Wang Mengyu fell into a dilemma. On one side was her Elder Shixiong whom she adored, and on the other side was Chen Xiaobei who saved her life!
Should she tell Chen Xiaobei about this?
Wang Mengyu was in a dilemma. What she did not know was that Chen Xiaobei had never trusted Zhou Xiaokun and had always been wary of him.
Time passed.
After midnight, a large number of Crimson Crowned Snakes appeared.
But this time, everyone was on high alert. Even the slightest movement would be noticed.
And so, dozens of Crimson Crowned Snakes were killed with their heads blown off. No one was hurt.
Other than the dozens of snakes, there was no other danger that night.
…
As the sky began to brighten, everyone in the expedition team became excited.
"We're here! This is the end of the manuscript! We did it! "
Zhou Xiaokun cheered excitedly. "This is the closest that humans have ever been to the Black Desert! We just need one more step and we'll break the record! We'll make history!"
Hearing this, although the surrounding people were excited, their spirits were extremely weak, and they did not have the strength to cheer along.
"Elder Shixiong, let's find a water source first … The rest of us can't take it anymore …" Zhuo Qunfeng said.
Indeed, they had been through a lot since yesterday afternoon. Most importantly, they had not taken a single drop of water. Even if their cultivation was not weak, they would still collapse from exhaustion!
"Alright! Let's grit our teeth! There are 36 countries in the Black Desert. We can find any one of them and we'll be able to get a water source! Follow me! Let's go! "
Zhou Xiaokun waved his hand and led the expedition team forward.
As the sun rose, the temperature in the desert began to rise. Everyone's symptoms of dehydration were getting worse.
If it had been an ordinary person, they would have passed out from exhaustion.
"Xiaobei, why don't we get some water for them?"
"Xiaobei, why don't we get some water for them?" Luo Puti asked in a hushed voice.
Obviously, to Chen, fetching water was a piece of cake.
There were a few big boxes of mineral water in the Infinite Space Ring, enough to quench their thirst.
"No!"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head. "Humans are greedy. If they find out that I have a storage item, Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding 'ao will definitely kill me for it!"
"I …" Luo Puti was at a loss for words.
As the saying went, an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth.
Now that everyone was in dire need of water, they would soon run out of food. If they knew that Chen Xiaobei had water and food, not only Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding 'ao, but even the ordinary disciples would have evil thoughts!
Most importantly, Zhou Xiaokun and Ding Ding 'ao had 130,000 combat power. They were much more powerful than Chen Xiaobei.
If a conflict broke out, Chen Xiaobei would be the one at a disadvantage.
"I understand that, but we can't just watch everyone die of thirst, right?" Luo Puti frowned.
"Don't worry. As long as they listen to my instructions, I will bring them to a water source in no time." Chen Xiaobei said.
"Re … Really?" Luo Puti was shocked. "Did you discover something?" she asked impatiently.
Chen Xiaobei nodded. "Didn't you say that there were 36 countries in the Black Desert? But because of an epic sandstorm, all of them were buried under the yellow sand?"
"Yes … That's what the historical records say. Does this have anything to do with your discovery?" Luo Puti nodded.
"Of course!"
