That was the reason why the light of Giant God Peak disappeared in Li Ke's eyes. At the same time, the scholars and priests who observed the stars were also horrified to find that a large part of the stars in the sky had dimmed, leaving a dark area in the original Milky Way.
They understood this and knew that it was the large-scale fall of the gods, so they were terrified, terrified, and thought that it was the end of the world. And those who didn't know the meaning of it called this spectacle an astronomical miracle, and countless interesting conjectures and papers appeared. However, all of this, including the fact that Yatokus used his magical energy to kill in the heavens, had nothing to do with Li Ke. He just wanted to leave this damn desert as soon as possible.
However, although he walked in the direction of Giant God Peak according to his memory and successfully deviated from the correct direction on the first day, and then because of his bad sleeping posture at night, not only did he mess up the stones he had placed to mark the direction, but he also encountered a more fatal problem when he woke up.
"Where am I going?"
Li Ke had seen the wind and sand flying all over the sky, but before he slept in the desert for a night, he really didn't expect that the sand dunes could really change beyond recognition in one night. The topographic map of the sand dunes that he memorized during the day had no reference value at all. After the wind got a little stronger, these sand dunes even began to move at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was terrible and lifeless. The only living things that Li Ke found were a few humble sandworms and a few flowers growing on the stones. After eating the sandworms and admiring the stone flowers, he continued to move forward.
Although he knew that he had completely lost his direction and might even be going in circles, Li Ke, who had begun to feel thirsty, knew that if he really stayed in the same place and waited for the so-called hope, then he would really die. So he could only start moving toward the place where the sun rose as much as possible, and try his best to find all the living things in this desert.
Whether it was the worms or those monsters with huge bodies, Li Ke really hoped that there would be something alive in front of him now, and now he even regretted eating those worms before. Because at least they were alive, and not in this deathly silence.
This was a place even more despairing than the boundless sea. Although you no longer needed to fear the deep sea, you still had to face the fear of not having the slightest bit of life. This was the land of death, the abode of the Grim Reaper. Nothing could survive here for three days without drinking water, and no one dared to walk in this desert like Li Ke did. Apart from a sword, there was nothing useful on him.
His life seemed to be leaving this person whose will had been taken away by the Grim Reaper.
This was the first time Li Ke felt the weight of his sword when he was in perfect condition. He sat down on the sand dune, slowly relieving the fatigue of his body. He tried his best to look into the distance, searching for the rare life forms in the desert. However, there were no clouds in the sky at all. He had no choice but to stand up after a short rest and continue walking forward.
This time, he looked back from time to time to see if the footprints behind him had not been blown away by the wind. He tried his best to ensure that he did not walk in a circle. But even so, after walking for half the night, he once again saw the same big rock he had seen before. Once again, he lost his way in the desert environment. Then, in this empty desert, he walked in a circle that made him feel hopeless.
This was truly a desperate journey.
Whether it was the sea or the frozen snowfield, it was not as despairing as this desert. At least in the snowfield, Li Ke could still walk out with his strong body and strength if he was careful. For him, the dangerous sea was just a matter of how long he had to soak in the seawater. But only the desert, this place of death, where even if you had sufficient supplies, experienced guides, and enough modern equipment, you could still die silently in it. This was the most unfriendly place for Li Ke.
Soon, Li Ke's spirit was a little absent-minded due to the lack of water, but there was always a way out. Just when he was about to abandon Alice and go light, he saw a place from the corner of his eye that made him very excited: a man-made stone wall.
This discovery made him unusually happy, and he ran towards the stone wall because a stone wall meant that there was a place where humans used to live, and a place where humans used to live must mean this place...
Li Ke looked at the barren ruins that had nothing but a stone wall and sighed heavily. He then searched around the ruins, looking for plants and animals that might survive. But it was a pity that he still didn't find anything useful. Instead, he felt a little dizzy due to the intense activity from before. This made him realize that if he continued to walk, he would very likely faint from the vicious sun, so he leaned against the shadow of the stone wall and sat down to let his body rest a little.
At this time, he had not drunk or eaten anything for two days, but he felt that after abandoning Alice, he could still walk for two days. And if he still couldn't find a water source or something alive after two days, then he would definitely die. But Li Ke still underestimated the fatigue of walking in the desert, as well as his injuries and exhaustion. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, he could already see the bright stars in the sky.
He sighed and wanted to stand up and continue on his way. However, his relaxed body startled him. The man, who was already quite tired, reached out to touch his back, but found nothing.
Alice's sword had disappeared, but the person who bypassed his vigilance and took away his sword didn't kill him.
Li Ke thought a lot in an instant, but he still subconsciously bent down and held a stone. No matter what he would encounter later, it was never wrong to be careful. But when he walked out of the stone wall and saw the burning bonfire, people sitting around it, and carts loaded with goods, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Because he encountered a caravan.
He was saved.
But unfortunately, Li Ke guessed wrong again.
