496 I Suspect They Have Become the Meat Slave of Demons (1/2)

It took the three of them two days of journey from the great magnificent mountain where the Blessed Fountain was located, all the way to the desert area where Feng Yin and the others were trapped.

This was the result of all the efforts made by Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu.

After all, savage Land was savage land. It was not the back garden even for the two top-level Daoist Masters of Jindan Stage… In order to avoid risks, they actually went around a large circle, choosing the path with sparsely distributed monsters and less powerful ones, traveling day and night.

As for Wang Wu, they took turns to carry her. At this time, she was still far from her beautiful future self—she was still a lean, as light as feather girl. So it was not too hard to carry her, and it would not affect the journey.

When the three arrived at the edge of the desert, they only saw the fluctuating sand dune after sand dune that extended continuously, the splendid sun shone above at the sky where there was no cloud. The clear sky seemed to be making a silent invitation, inviting them to go deep into the desert to go to the mysterious oasis.

When stopping at the edge of the desert, Wang Lu suddenly felt that heart seemed to rise a little bit of warning sign, so he frowned slightly. ”I always feel that ahead of us is a road of no return...”

Ouyang Shang laughed. ”Then do you think it would be better to turn back?”

Of course not.

”So, do you really want to bring her with you? I still think she's unreliable, really weak.” Wang Lu raised his hand and pointed at Wang Wu who was sitting cross-legged.

Initially, it was just a casual complaint from him, but instead, Ouyang Shang actually turned serious. ”She's very important to you, in your time line.”

Well… Wang Lu really couldn't argue with that.

”To be able to survive the great cataclysm and become an extremely important figure to you as the future lead disciple, she should be something special.

Haha, if you can see her one hundred years later, you would know that she is more than just ”something special”.

”On the contrary, Junior Brother Yang Fei and the others should not have survived, right? Based on your reaction to them, they seemed to be strangers to you.”

Wang Lu suddenly remembered someone who was in the team but was neglected by him. Uncle Lu Li, I'm sorry.

”Similarly, it seems that you are more familiar with Feng Yin, so he should also be one of the survivors. Therefore, isn't this a very simple logic? Wouldn't it be safer for her to stay with the survivor than those who would end up dead?”

This logic did have a little bit of truth, so, Big Brother, I'll take sister Wang Wu with me while you go into the desert to look for Feng Yin.

”Hey, do you really have the heart to see me die alone?”

Wang Lu very much wanted to say I don't have the heart so I don't want to see it… but considering that the moral integrity of this Big Brother of Spirit Sword Sect was not much better than his own, if he were to kneel down and hold his leg, it would be an unsightly scene. Not to mention that there was still his Master who remained silent behind him… If he made her helplessly see him not try to save her Big Brother from death, later on, she would surely turn hostile and feel hatred toward him.

Thinking of this, Wang Lu had to suppress the uneasiness in his heart. ”Very well, let's live and die together.”

The journey in the desert was much simpler than expected, and the sandstorm that had been mentioned several times never appeared. Journeying on the endless yellow sand, there was no other obstacle apart from the melting heat.

Moreover, perhaps it was because of the sandstorm that had just ended, the number of monsters in the desert was very low. They were unimpeded all the way.

Ouyang Shang was indeed worthy to have a physique that had a natural affinity with the earth element. After entering the desert, under the burning sun, it was easy for him to find the traces left by Feng Yin and the others a month ago and continue the trail.

After a day and night in the desert, the three of them finally approached the target position. After crossing a sand dune, there was a refreshing wetness that seemed incredible in the desert, which was the oasis in the distant.

At that oasis was a city, and Wang Lu's long awaited sand people… It was the city of demon race in a panoramic view.

This desert oasis was very different from the grand and magnificent cities of the new demon world, and it was even far from the demon race cities in the five blood spirit power struggle. These desert demons merely built tents, mud pits, and so on with their limited resources around the oasis. If Wang Lu had not identified their identity earlier, it would have been unthinkable that this was actually a city built by the royal family of the demon race.

Similarly, the demons who walked in the city were also very different from those with the imposing bearing of the royal family. In addition to the royal family characteristics of red skin and fangs, there were not many royal family characteristics on them. Even the iconic heavy armor had been degraded.

After surveying the scene from top of the sand dune for a while, Ouyang Shang furrowed his brows. The difference between the present situation and the expectation was too much that they simply could not continue with their next plan.

”Is… Is this really the demon race city? It has no garrison at all, and I can't feel the least bit of hostility. And we're close to the edge of the city!”

According to their earlier speculation, if in the city the demons had already forced themselves upon Feng Yin and the others, then that meant they had abandoned all pretenses. The rescue operation then would be a fierce battle as both sides no longer had any room for mediation. However, looking at the present situation...
