I Secretly Develop Myself In The Demon World - Chapter 481
Chapter 481: Chapter 262 Death Desert
[You’re dead.]
[Before you die, you suddenly see birds flying in the distance, and you realize that perhaps the sky above this desert is safe.]
“The sky? It’s that simple!”
“As long as we don’t walk in the desert, we can avoid sandification.” Su Nan’s face showed joy as he breathed a sigh of relief for finally finding a solution.
“Princess, the Land of the Lost is not safe, so for now you will have to stay in
this gourd.”
Su Nan took out the Mountain and Water Gourd, intending to store the Great Princess inside.
As Great Princess saw the gourd in Su Nan’s hand, her face showed amazement.
She had been inside the gourd more than once and knew very well that this seemingly ordinary gourd contained a mini world within.
Such a treasure could be considered a supreme treasure, and she couldn’t understand how Su Nan had obtained it.
Without saying anything, the Great Princess entered the gourd. Looking at the abyss ahead, Su Nan prepared to jump down.
Just to be safe, he used his foreknowledge again.
This time he transformed into a black eagle, flying in the high sky.
The foreknowledge went smoothly, and three minutes later, he did not undergo sandification as before.
The desert was vast. In his foreknowledge, it took him over ten minutes of flying to finally reach the edge of the desert.
Once he was sure there were no issues, he leaped down.
Land of the Lost.
As a world isolated from the rest, this place had developed over thousands of years and had formed a world with its own rules.
Though small in size, it was complete in all aspects.
It appeared to be only the size of a county in Dongchen State, yet it had a complete order.
Here, it was ruled by a nation called Daxuan Kingdom.
Under the Daxuan Kingdom were numerous large and small families, who controlled most of the resources in this world and stood aloof from the common people.
Death Desert.
Located in the far east of Daxuan Kingdom, it was a well-known forbidden land in the Land of the Lost.
At this time, on a path covered with miscellaneous grass dozens of miles away from Death Desert, a team was advancing rapidly.
At the front of the team, an old man was driving a somewhat luxurious carriage.
Following behind the team were more than ten burly men armed with swords and knives, all of which were not to be trifled with.
It was apparent that the team had gone through a long journey, filled with tiredness and heavy breathing.
Quite a few people were already unsteady on their feet and couldn’t keep up with the team.
Regardless, they dared not stop.
Seeing this scene, the old man driving the carriage glanced at the Death Desert in the distance and turned to the carriage, saying:
“Miss, we are only a few miles away from Death Desert. Everyone is exhausted.
Should we stop for a rest?”
A crisp female voice came from inside the carriage: “Alright.”
Upon receiving the reply, the old man turned to the team behind him and said, “Everyone, let’s rest for a while.”
Hearing this, the more than ten burly men following behind finally sighed a breath of relief. They couldn’t have endured much longer.
The carriage stopped, and a woman walked out from inside.
She was in her late twenties, slender and delicate, with soft facial features. Her yellow brocade dress accentuated her elegant and noble temperament.
But at this moment, she looked exhausted, as if she hadn’t rested for days.
“Is that the Death Desert?”
Standing on the carriage and looking forward.
There were only a few trees here, not much to obstruct the view, so the yellow hue of the desert could be seen even at a distance of several miles.
Staring at the yellow color, the woman’s face became solemn. “The most dangerous place is also the safest.
“Death Desert is a lifeless place. Anyone entering it will turn to sand. The Ma family would never think that we would come near the Death Desert.
Seeing this, the old man said, “Miss, don’t worry. I believe that your father is not dead. When he returns, we will make the Ma family pay in blood!
The woman sighed, her face filled with sadness as she shook her head. “Uncle De, don’t comfort me. The Ancient God Tomb is much more dangerous than Death Desert. If my father disappeared there, the chances of survival are slim.” The old man opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Suddenly, he noticed something and looked at the direction from where they had come, his face changed dramatically:
“Not good! The people from the Ma family have actually caught up with us!” In his sight, a team of about thirty or forty people was rapidly approaching them, led by a middle-aged man in his forties.
“How is that possible? How did they find out about our whereabouts?”
“Run! Everyone, run!”
Everyone panicked as the old man quickly reacted, urging the carriage forward again.
The carriage sped up, and those who had just stopped didn’t have time to rest before they were on the run again.
The team moved quickly, but so did their pursuers. They fanned out in a semicircle to surround them.
just a few minutes later, they arrived at a place only one or two miles away from Death Desert.
There, the rolling yellow sands of the Death Desert were clearly visible. As far as the eye could see, it was an endless sea of yellow sand, devoid of any vitality.
“What should we do? Death Desert lies ahead. Should we keep going forward?” The woman’s face was grim as she stared at the boundless sea of sand ahead, not knowing what to do.
There was still a way ahead, but if they continued and got surrounded, there would be no escape.
The team stopped, and the more than ten burly men following the team quickly surrounded the carriage, staring at the approaching enemies with their long knives gripped tightly in their hands, ready to strike at any moment..
