637 Danger Is Also Opportunity (1/2)
Qian Jin sensed the warmth and love that he hadn't felt in a long time during this meal.
With his hands behind his back, Qian Cheng hummed a tune that he learned from somewhere and went back to the Qian Family with his hunchback while greeting the pedestrians.
”Qian Jin, let's go.” Duren Burg wrapped his arms around Qian Jin's neck and moved in the opposite direction. He said, ”Let's go and find the stuff that we are after.”
Zence Matten looked in the direction of the Ancient Desert Sea and got nervous again. He thought, ”This could be a clear trap. Are we going to encounter lethal danger inside the Ancient Desert Sea? What would the danger come from?”
…
”Danger? It will come from the least expected place. Sixth Brother is living backward. He should know that he is walking into a trap, but he is not stopping. Did he forget that he is a noble prince? His life is different from those other people's.”
”Hey, this kid wants to be the greatest emperor. Is he dreaming too much?”
Under the moonlight, a young man who was also wearing a white robe and looked 70 percent similar to Zence Matten fanned himself with a folding hand and looked at the sky as he said lightly, ”Friendship? Humph!”
”Third Brother…”
”Fourth Brother, I know what you want to say. We have the same father, but there is the only throne…”
The Fourth Prince, who looked valiant sighed and didn't say anything. He thought, ”This trap is too vicious. I wonder when Third Brother figured out these pieces of information.”
”Qian Jin? Although I never saw you, I have more information on you compared with anyone else. Half shield?” The Third Prince smiled confidently and thought, ”Perhaps that legend about hidden treasures recorded on the shield is true, but…”
The Ancient Desert Sea was a place that no changes would take place in millions of years. Even if tens of millions of years passed by, one couldn't tell the passage of time by just looking at this place.
This desert was forever vast and peaceful. Even if millions of soldiers came here, the troop would look tiny and fragile compared to it.
When Qian Jin walked into the Ancient Desert Sea, the sun was already below the horizon, and many stars and the moon occupied the sky.
Although many veteran soldiers could understand complicated land maps and sea maps, very few could comprehend star maps.
However, Qian Jin was one of the few people in the world that understood star maps. There were a ton of books in the library of the Qian Family, and Qian Jin read many of them when he was little. Therefore, he came across a vast amount of knowledge regarding star maps.
”Judging from the star map, the location is deeper into the Ancient Desert Sea.” Qian Jin lowered his hand and looked at the half shield in his hand while recalling the map on the half shield that was now inside his body. He looked up at the sky and said, ”The Ancient Desert Sea is different from other places. We need to be careful.”
Everyone didn't say anything and observed carefully. Although the outer edge of the Ancient Desert Sea was known as the safe zone, no one knew when a powerful demon beast living deeper in the desert would suddenly appear on the outer edge. If the team ran into such a demon beast, it would be troublesome.
”There shouldn't be anything in the area.” After looking into the distance for a while, Duren Burg broke the silence and said, ”I don't detect any danger.”
Night vision! It was one of the unique abilities that Duren Burg got after awakening his bloodline. This ability seemed useless at other times, but it was invaluable at this moment.
The Ancient Desert Sea was cold during the night.
Zence Matten tightened the rug that he wrapped around himself to block winds and flying sand. As he slightly shrunk his body, he thought, ”Did my brain stop working? How come I came to this dangerous place with my future officials? Ay! It is hard being a proper emperor! I have to worry about the lives of my future officials!”
Zence Matten tried to explain the situation and felt better.
”A herd of snakes!”
After traveling for about five kilometers, the group finally encountered the first group of 'assassins' in the desert.
Under the nightly sky, thousands of snakes that were as thick as human wrists crawled toward the group. Their green eyes emitted cold glints, and their bodies ground against the sand and created a series of chilly, ear-piercing noises.
”No need to worry!” Duren Burg walked over directly, and the snakes instantly sped up and charged toward him, wanting to devour this delicious meal.
”Bloodline battle form! Open!”
The hydra bloodline battle form was instantly opened. Hydras were the emperors among snakes.
