Chapter 292 – City and King (2/2)

After the team set off again, it took another two days. Sometimes they could not find a suitable place to rest, so they directly stayed in the desert. They have also encountered some desert beasts during their night activities. The team lost four people, dragged into the sand and could not be found.

On their fifth day in the desert, the team went ahead under the sun. Compared to those travel teams Shao Xuan once saw, this team was the most abused.

Hot and dry air blasts swept over the boundless desert.

The atmosphere was windy, the whirlwind turning.

Meanwhile, the sand was blown into sand dunes.

Not far from the high hillslike mountains, some grains of sand were blown up and blown across the ridge.

They did not know how many years the main body of such tall dunes had existed. Perhaps hundreds of years, thousands of years, or possibly longer.

“Look, there’s someone over there!” Not just one shouted aloud.

Looking over, they saw that on a tall hill in the distance, a group of people were on the ridge, riding on top of a camel.

“Who are those?” The slaves of that city?”

“I can’t see clearly, so I don’t know if it is that city, but look at the direction they’re going, it should also be Luoye City?” someone said.

“Don’t worry, keep going, we’re almost there,” said one elder.

When they encounter slaves, as long as those slaves did not take the initiative to look for a fight, these people would not move freely. They have to save their energy, since they did not want to spend more of their strength to deal with those slaves.

As he went on, Shao Xuan found that the team was walking in the same direction as their side, and that the camel he was holding was beginning to get excited.

“Is this the same of their kind?” Shao Xuan pulled the slightly excited camel, and did not let it dash forward.

There seemed to be some other smell in the air as the wind drifted over. The camel next to him was more agitated, and seemed to want to run over with its hooves, not in the general direction of the team, but directly towards the front.

“Is Luoye City near?” Lei also smelled the other scents in the air. Because of frequent hunting, his nose was very sensitive to changes in some smells.

In addition to the smell changes, there were some sounds.

Over a hill again, Shao Xuan saw the destination of their trip—Luoye City.

At this time, the sun has been slanting, setting towards the ground.

The orange sunset shone above the vast desert, and in front, there were large tracts of leaves with almost the same color as the sunset.

Orange trees, an orange sunset, and a desert city stained by the sunset.

It was said that the most abundant trees in Luoye city was the sunset trees. It was named so because the color of its leaves was similar to the sunset, and it never changes colors regardless of the seasons. Even the sign of Luoye city was the sunset tree.

Sunset trees were said to last for thousands of years without dying, thousands of years not decaying nor falling, thousands of years and still immortal. It was unknown if it was really the truth though. However, in the sights of the city, there were indeed large tracts of sunset trees, and seeing these trees made people feel cool. After being in the desert for so many days, except for sand and stone, the travel team could now see so many rare plants.

In addition to the sunset trees, there were some unknown grasses in the city. Although not many, but it does exist, hence, it was no wonder the camel next to Shao Xuan was so excited. It was aware of the food.

Standing on the sand dunes and looking over at Luoye city, they could see that there was a tall building in addition to the trees with the same colors as the sunset.

Underneath the building was a huge block of rock like a pyramid, and a house was built above it.
