Flames danced and sand danced. The day in the desert was always suffocating and hot, and when they breathed in, they felt as if their qi was about to evaporate. It made them feel sticky, and it was very uncomfortable.
Hence, during the day, practically no players could be seen in the desert. Aside from some special quests that they had to carry out, very few people would seek trouble and enter the desert to suffer.
On this day …
There were quite a number of people who occupied a spot near a ruin buried by sand in the depths of the desert. They were either in groups or in groups of three to five. They hid in the shadows behind the sand dunes to avoid the scorching sun.
Even so, the people scattered in the desert still felt very uncomfortable. Occasionally, they would stick out their tongues and want to spit out the air in their bodies that was like balls of fire.
"It's so hot …"
"Damn it! I can't even pee at night, and I feel like I peed all over myself during the day … Damn it, I'm so unlucky! "
Quite a number of people in the crowd grumbled and cursed under the scorching sun, but no one was willing to leave.
Because this was Dragon Gate Inn!
Of course!
The former Dragon Gate Inn had been completely destroyed by the black sandstorm. Right now, the only thing left on the ground was a huge mound of dirt that took up a lot of space.
These people had rushed over from all over the world a few days ago when they received the system notification.
As the news of the desert palace spread out, the martial artists from all over the Chinese plains, the desert, and many powerful players from the small countries in West Region gathered near Dragon Gate Inn.
But unfortunately for them.
When most of the people arrived, they were just in time to run into the black sandstorm. When it passed, Dragon Gate Inn was no more.
Because of this, many people even cleaned up the sand outside Dragon Gate Inn. Unfortunately for them, the sandstorm had not completely stopped. Even if they dug for a while, the sand would soon be covered up. Even after half a day had passed, they did not manage to restore Dragon Gate Inn to its original state.
After some time passed, more martial artists rushed over from thousands of miles away. Hence, the magnificent sight of tens of thousands of people scattered around Dragon Gate Inn came into being.
The black sandstorm had already passed, but there was still no news from the desert palace. However, the people who rushed to the place did not show any intention to leave. Before they obtained concrete information about the desert palace, they did not want to leave immediately.
The people who gathered in Dragon Gate Inn from all over the world came from all sorts of religions, and they were very complicated. However, they were still divided into two camps — the Chinese server and the non-Chinese server. They occupied the east and west sides of Dragon Gate Inn, and they did not invade each other.
The people from Wind Assault Tower were naturally the most eye-catching at the east of Dragon Gate Inn.
Once Phantasmal Shadow sent the news, the people from the branches nearby practically rushed over from the southern cities overnight. They were covered in dust, and there were more than two thousand of them. They were the group of people closest to Dragon Gate Inn.
On the other hand, Lovely Land, which was currently the largest sect in the Chinese plains, did not send many people to be stationed there. Only a small number of its members were gathered in one place, and there were less than fifty of them.
When they saw this, Wind Assault Tower and the Chinese players released sighs of relief.
Even though Lovely Land was currently doing things in the Chinese server in an upright manner and had a gentle style under the system Happy and Ji Feng introduced, many factions of power still did not want to stand against Lovely Land in the fight for benefits.
In fact, even Wind Assault Tower and Phantasmal Shadow did not want to have their relationship with Lovely Land become too stiff and tense.
Hence …
This time, Lovely Land did not send any important people who represented them, and they did not take the initiative to contact the people from all over the world. This caused many people to release sighs of relief in secret. They believed that Happy was busy with other matters and did not have the time to pay attention to this quest.
There were also people who believed that Lovely Land might have neglected Dragon Gate Inn due to its geographical environment.
No matter what, this was good news to them.
The people from all over the Chinese plains became at ease, and many people treated Wind Assault Tower as their greatest competitor.
…
Even though there were many powerful players from different countries who arrived at the west side of Dragon Gate Inn, and they were wary of each other, since this place was in the Chinese plains, the powerful players from the Chinese plains were their greatest competitors. Everyone was united in pointing their weapons at the Chinese plains, which was why the miscellaneous forces of power in the west were able to get along peacefully.
The Persian Brahmins, Mongolian Dragon Elephant Sect, and some of the scattered elites from Thailand and Vietnam were rather strong in the west.
However …
There were nearly one hundred men and women dressed in yellow clothes and pants behind a sand dune to the north of the west side. Their clothes were the same color as the desert, and it was very difficult to tell who was here from the distance.
This group of people did not hide under the shadows of the sand dune. Instead, they were directly exposed to the scorching sun, but no one in the area showed even a hint of impatience. They simply allowed sweat to roll down their faces and fall on the scorching sand. They quietly closed their eyes or sat or lay down. They were so quiet that it was frightening.
Whoosh …
No one knew how much time had passed, but a faint sound of air being pushed aside came from the wind along with the sound of sand flowing on the ground.
Nearly one hundred people opened their eyes at the same time on the sand dune that looked like a basin.
Whoosh!
Everyone's gazes were focused on a dark yellow figure like cold arrows.
With just one glance, most people put away the coldness in their eyes and closed their eyes to rest.
"Good news."
The person shot into the crowd like an arrow and arrived in front of two men and two women. He removed the mask he used to block the wind and sand to reveal his face, which was as sharp as a knife. His tone was cold, and he said firmly, "Someone saw something major in the east. It might be related to the desert palace."
If Happy were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the person who spoke.
He was an elite from Wild Wolves, Golden Rakkhasa!
The two men and two women in front of Golden Rakkhasa were old acquaintances from Wild Wolves. They were Peach Blossom, Immortal, Flame Wolf, and Bloody Hell Saber, who had the dual swords.
"What's the general situation?"
They had not seen each other for a few months, and Golden Rakkhasa, Flame Wolf, and Bloody Hell Saber had gained a bone-chilling coldness and level-headedness.
When they heard Happy's question, they said coldly, "Class One Hall's spies have confirmed that the Embroidered Uniform Guards have mobilized en masse to kill a group of rebels who escaped from Dragon Gate Inn."
"Our quest is the desert palace. It's a normal quest. Do you think that ninety-nine Wild Wolves will take the risk?" This time, the one who spoke was Immortal. Her cold voice contained a faint, murderous aura, and she looked down on Golden Rakkhasa.
Golden Rakkhasa frowned a little, but he did not fly into a rage on the spot. He patiently continued explaining.
"Based on the reports from Class One Hall's spies, the person leading the group is the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Tsao Suiyan. He's a true martial artist in the dao of heaven, and he has eighteen hidden guards following him. There are also thousands of Embroidered Uniform Guards surrounding him, and there is no lack of Myth Realm elites among them."
"… What does this mean?"
Even though Immortal's tone was still cold, the murderous aura in her voice was no longer there, and there was an inexplicable tone to it.
Golden Rakkhasa's tone did not change.
"The rebels led by Cao Huaian are just two martial artists at the peak of Myth Realm and a few normal Myth Realm elites. Even if Tsao Suiyan is not around, there is still a great disparity in strength between them. Cao Huaian and his group will not be able to escape from this disaster. If my guess is correct, something will happen over there. "
When they heard this …
The two men and two women exchanged a glance.
Flame Wolf spoke up.
"You have to understand that our goal this time is the treasure in the desert palace and the secret in the depths of the desert palace. The leader will not allow us to place ninety-nine Wild Wolves in danger because of your guess."
"This might be the Chinese server's territory, but don't forget that the only people who can pose a threat to us are Happy and One Emperor. Both of them aren't here! Are we going to become fearful just because we failed once or twice? "
Golden Rakkhasa could not hold himself back anymore.
Flame Wolf retorted in his usual tone.
"Half a month ago, we lost track of Happy. How are you so certain that Happy isn't in the desert?"
"If Happy never shows up, does that mean that Wild Wolves will have to live in hiding in the future?"
Golden Rakkhasa smiled coldly. "Since when did Wild Wolves become so cowardly?"
When the four heard this, their expressions turned gloomy.
"Rakkhasa!"
Peach Blossom could not help but rebuke him.
"The leader has his own considerations!"
"That's right." Bloody Hell Saber spoke up as well. He frowned, and his tone was grave. "We've all seen the battle replay of Happy and Evil King. Happy's strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Besides, Lovely Land and Wind Assault Tower did not infiltrate each other like we expected, so we didn't have the chance to create conflict. Right now, the Chinese server is united, and it's very difficult for Wild Wolves to act. If we're not careful, once Wandering Know-it-all finds traces of us, we will definitely ruin the leader's plans."
"…"
Golden Rakkhasa instantly found himself speechless.
"Even if there's something strange about the quest at Dragon Gate Inn, it's too far away from us. It shouldn't have any form of connection with the desert palace. Rakkhasa, from now on, stay here quietly. I will arrange for someone else to take over the information later on."
Flame Wolf gave his orders.
However, just when he was prepared to make new arrangements, a messenger pigeon flew through the air.
Quite a number of people in the area widened their eyes again, and their gazes were gathered on the messenger pigeon in Flame Wolf's hands.
"A letter from the leader?"
Immortal and Peach Blossom cast him inquiring gazes.
Flame Wolf swiftly tore apart the letter and unfurled it to cast a glance at the contents. A brilliant light shone in his eyes. He quickly cast a glance at Golden Rakkhasa, who sat by the side indignantly and said, "Rakkhasa! Leader's orders! "
"…"
Golden Rakkhasa was stunned. Then, he heard an order that made him ecstatic.
"Immediately choose thirty people to head to Dragon Gate Inn. At the same time, search for Class One Hall's spy and tell him …" When he said this, his lips moved, but no one could hear him.
He sent a private message to Golden Rakkhasa, and his eyes lit up.
"I knew it! There's definitely something strange going on over there, am I right? Haha! " While he laughed madly, Golden Rakkhasa stood up excitedly. In high spirits, he chose a group of people and led them over the sand dune to head to Dragon Gate Inn, which was not too far away.
Flame Wolf and the others stood up together and watched Golden Rakkhasa and his group leave into the distance.
Immortal was finally unable to hold back the curiosity in her heart.
"Did the leader give us any orders?"
"Of course he did. The leader said that once the people from Dragon Gate Inn are encouraged, we are to pay attention to Tiger Soul's movements at all times. The leader also said that we cannot lose this ancient weapon!"
