The Sand Boat
Hearing that Ye Fei was willing to accept him, Zhang Huzi stood up happily and said respectfully, "Sword King, I've thought about it. I, Zhang Huzi, am not like you geniuses. Being able to obtain the Heavenly Spirit Pill is already the luckiest thing in my life. Rather than risking my life in the desert, I would rather stay behind and do something useful for the Sword King."
Ye Fei nodded inwardly. The Heaven Forsaken Land was a huge temptation to the entire Northern Region. Once one entered it and obtained a fortuitous encounter, even an ordinary cultivator would be able to soar to the sky. This was something that countless cultivators had personally proven.
For example, the current titled expert of the Northern Region, Wu Jun, had all entered the Heaven Forsaken Land when they were young. However, Zhang Huzi was able to resist the temptation.
This was rare and commendable.
Although there were countless fortuitous encounters in the Heaven Forsaken Land, there was also a 90% chance of death. Every time the Heaven Forsaken Land opened, it would attract hundreds of thousands of Martial King experts from the Northern Region. However, the number of people who could truly pass through the desert and enter the Heaven Forsaken Land was less than a hundred thousand.
The remaining people either gave up halfway or met with bandits and died in the desert.
Out of a hundred thousand people who entered the Heaven Forsaken Land, only fifty thousand could come out. This was already considered very lucky. Usually, only ten thousand people could come out of the Heaven Forsaken Land alive and return to their respective countries.
These ten thousand people were the absolute elites of the Northern Region. Only this portion of people had the hope of breaking through to the titled expert Wu Jun.
Thinking of this, Ye Fei sighed. He knew that Zhang Huzi's cultivation was still far from enough to enter the Heaven Forsaken Land. He took out a token and handed it to Zhang Huzi, saying, "Brother Zhang, this is my Sword King Token. Take it and go to the Northern Sea Pass to find Ye Jian, Jin Jizi or the Frenzied Blade Elder. They will naturally find a place for you."
"Your Highness, then I will take my leave. Oh right, before I left, I acted on my own initiative and helped Your Highness contact a sand boat to enter the desert. Your Highness only needs to go out of the city and find Boss Qian Xiaolong. He will bring Your Highness into the desert." Zhang Huzi happily took the token and left after saying this.
Ye Fei was also very satisfied with Zhang Huzi. He felt that this person was indeed a meticulous person. Hence, after sending Zhang Huzi out of the city, he quickly found Boss Qian outside the city.
Speaking of which, this Boss Qian also looked familiar. It was actually the luxurious young master who had persuaded him during his first stone gambling.
"Boss Qian, thank you so much for your help with the Qi Zhen Pavilion."
Ye Fei greeted Qian Xiaolong.
It turned out that when he was in the Qi Zhen Pavilion, it was also this Qian Xiaolong who reminded him to search for stones in the outer courtyard. That was how he coincidentally found the stone that hid the Emperor's ring.
Now that they had met, Ye Fei naturally had to express his gratitude. It could be said that Qian Xiaolong had played a part in turning defeat into victory and protecting his and Beihai's reputation.
"Haha, North Sea Sword Monarch, you're too polite. Your stone-gambling skills have really opened my eyes." Qian Xiaolong was full of admiration for Ye Fei.
Ye Fei had always been thick-skinned, but at this moment, his old face was slightly red. What the hell did he know about stone-gambling? It was all Xiao Cao's credit. Even the Spiritual Eye of Heaven and Earth was secretly obtained by Xiao Cao. However, he could not say these words out loud. He could only "calmly" chat with Qian Xiaolong and brag.
After a while, Ye Fei found out that Qian Xiaolong was not a martial artist. He was just a stone-gambling merchant. Even his cultivation of the seventh Martial King Realm was all achieved by using a large number of elixirs.
Therefore, Qian Xiaolong's strength was very weak. A seventh Martial King Realm cultivator did not even have the combat strength of a first Martial King Realm cultivator. Unfortunately, Qian Xiaolong liked to take risks.
Especially stone-gambling, it was thrilling and exciting. A single cut could make a martial artist lose until his face turned green. It could also make a martial artist become rich overnight. It was Qian Xiaolong's favorite.
"Sword Monarch, this time, you don't have to pay anything for entering the desert. You just have to ensure that we won't be attacked by the bandits." After the conversation, Qian Xiaolong brought Ye Fei onto the sand boat.
It was a huge warship, but it did not have any oars. Everything was moved by the wind generated by the formation.
After the conversation with Qian Xiaolong, Ye Fei found out that the desert of the Northern Heavenly Kingdom was not naturally formed. Instead, there had been an Emperor-level battle here, which had destroyed this land.
The powerful kingdom had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The lush land had turned into sand in an instant.
Hundreds of millions of people had all died.
It was a tragic battle. Now that he mentioned it, Qian Xiaolong was also shocked.
Because of this, this desert was also very strange. The yellow sand in it could not only flow like a river, but also quickly.
The ground was terrifyingly hot. If a piece of cloth was thrown on the ground, it would be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. If a martial artist walked in on foot, in less than ten hours, he would either exhaust his True Essence and give up halfway, or his Qi and blood would evaporate and he would die of thirst.
Therefore, in order to enter the desert, one had to use a special tool, the sand boat.
"Brother Ye, the bandits will only appear in the depths. Now, you can move around as you wish and cultivate. If we encounter a strong enemy, you just have to take action," Qian Xiaolong said to Ye Fei.
Ye Fei was not the only martial artist on his sand boat. The entire sand boat could accommodate hundreds of young Martial Kings who were heading to the Forsaken Land. Ordinary bandits would not dare to approach it at all. Only when they encountered a strong enemy among the bandits would Ye Fei take action.
At the same time, Qian Xiaolong's purpose was different from the others. Others entered the desert to head to the Forsaken Land, but Qian Xiaolong entered the desert specifically for the stones buried deep underground.
As long as he could find a fossil with Spiritual Energy, Qian Xiaolong could become rich overnight. Therefore, on the sand boat, Qian Xiaolong was the weakest and the richest.
As soon as they entered the desert, Ye Fei heard Qian Xiaolong calling out to the workers who were mining. As they drove the sand boat, they constantly searched for hidden stones underground.
This was like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, Qian Xiaolong and many other martial artists were having fun.
Ye Fei did not join in their fun. Instead, he quickly walked into his room. "Xiao Cao, are you alright?"
He was a little worried.
Ever since Xiao Cao used the Lingzhi leaf to help him open the Spiritual Eye of Heaven and Earth, Ye Fei realized that with the disappearance of the Spiritual Eye, Xiao Cao also became dispirited. He slept in the beast mark space and did not make a sound.
Now that there was no one else, Ye Fei naturally had to take good care of him.
"Squeak..."
After a long time, Xiao Cao's weak voice came from the beast mark space. A small head poked out of the beast mark space.
When she realized that only Ye Fei was there, Xiao Cao completely came out. Suddenly, she lay on Ye Fei's body and panted slightly. She had a tired and weak expression on her face.
Ye Fei felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He could not help but hug Xiao Cao tightly. "Xiao Cao, it's all my fault. In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to pluck the Lingzhi leaf from your body. Do you understand?"
"Squeak squeak!"
Xiao Cao nodded very hard to express that she was not stupid enough to harm herself. However, Xiao Cao's eyes were very
Determined.
In her heart, she silently thought that if Ye Fei was in danger in the future, she would still pluck the Lingzhi leaf that should be plucked. Although it was very painful, it was no different from cutting her flesh.
However, looking at Ye Fei's concerned expression, Xiao Cao felt very happy. Her small head leaned on Ye Fei's shoulder and she looked sleepy.
