Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Ruins of the Ancient City

“`

Luo Sanpao felt a wave of fear, realizing he had just narrowly escaped the jaws of death.

After catching his breath, he viciously kicked the team leader’s body several times.

“Damn it, these guys were well hidden. On the surface, you couldn’t tell they were from the Akato Family.”

Chen Yu didn’t say much more and began searching the bodies.

He indeed found many maps on them, all detailing the route to the small town.

“We can’t stay here. We must keep moving through the night!”

Luo Sanpao was startled, “Brother, don’t be rash. Walking in the desert at night is tantamount to seeking death.”

Chen Yu, on the other hand, was unperturbed. He pieced together a few maps in his hand and spread them out on the ground.

“There’s an ancient city ruin over there that should be habitable. We’ll set up camp there.”

Luo Sanpao frowned—he knew the ancient city ruins could serve as a temporary campsite, but it would take at least six hours by car to get there. Based on their current pace, they would probably arrive in the middle of the night.

“Brother, look, there’s water and an oasis here. Can we…”

Before he could finish, Chen Yu was already heading back to the convoy.

“We can’t stay here. It won’t be long before the Lakato Family’s men catch up. Let’s keep moving forward.”

Before leaving, Sanpao had ordered everyone to follow Chen Yu’s commands. At this point, they didn’t dare to disagree.

With no other choice, Luo Sanpao got into the vehicle.

This time he took the passenger seat next to Chen Yu, holding the map and compass to guide the way.

About half an hour later, Luo Sanpao suddenly realized something and hurriedly placed the map on the windshield.

“Brother, have we taken a wrong turn? According to the map, we should bypass this canyon to reach the ruins!”

Chen Yu drew a straight line on the map with his hand.

“We can’t follow the old route anymore. Taking all those twists and turns is a waste of time. Let’s go straight through here.”

Luo Sanpao’s eyes widened in shock.

“Brother, it’s not that I disagree with your plan, but I’ve been through this road before—it’s quicksand. Trying to force our way through might bury our entire convoy.”

A strange curve formed at the corner of Chen Yu’s mouth.

“With me here, the convoy will definitely get through safely.”

Luo Sanpao was immediately panicked. Even those who had traversed the desert for decades wouldn’t dare take this route lightly.

While he was still in a daze, the car entered the quicksand area.

This place was known as the Sea of Death—many in the older generation had attempted to cross it but none succeeded.

Luo Sanpao’s heart was in his throat. At this point, he didn’t know whether to continue trusting Chen Yu.

After gasping for air, Luo Sanpao tightened his seatbelt and gripped the armrest with his other hand.

Chen Yu simply laughed and took out his walkie-talkie.

“From now on, all vehicles must follow directly behind me without the slightest deviation, understood?”

Only after receiving responses from all the vehicles did Chen Yu put down the walkie-talkie, then he floored the accelerator.

The place seemed very calm, but the slightest inattention would result in sinking into quicksand. Chen Yu seemed extremely familiar with it, turning the car this way and that, and actually managed to avoid all the quicksand steadily.

After about half an hour of travel, they miraculously made it through the Sea of Death.
