C1687 Desert
C1687 Desert
"This place... is a desert?"
Tang Yu looked at the endless sand and was dumbfounded. "Do we have to cross this desert to reach the Western Region? "I really don't know the way."
Walking in the desert, the greatest taboo was to lose one's way, and it was indeed very easy to lose one's way.
"Hehe, little brother, are you going to cross the desert and participate in the once every ten years Treasure Appraisal Convention in the Western Region?"
At this moment, a burly man came to Tang Yu's side with a smile and introduced, "This desert stretches for thousands of miles. It's very big. Without a guide, it would be very difficult to walk through it. There are also many unknown dangers. "Little brother, do you need a guide?"
Looking at the many relay stations here, Tang Yu was slightly enlightened. These people really knew how to do business. They actually started this business.
"That's great."
Tang Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "But what is the price of crossing the desert?"
"Hehe, after all, the journey is long and dangerous, so the price is naturally more expensive. "One price, three million middle-grade Vital Spirit Crystals."
The burly man stretched out three fingers and looked around. He said in a low voice, "Little brother, there's no need to doubt. Our price is absolutely reasonable. The price of the others will only be higher than ours, and definitely not lower than ours. Right now, we are only short of one slot. We must not miss this opportunity."
"Three million?"
Tang Yu raised his eyebrows. "You want three million just to lead the way? Are you kidding me?"
Although Tang Yu was rich, he was not a fool.
"Little brother, you don't understand."
The big man said seriously, "This desert is not so easy to pass through. There are many desert bandits among them. At the same time, there are countless natural disasters, and even attacks from unique Demonic Beasts of the desert. If one isn't careful, one will die. That was why the price was so expensive. There was a reason for this.
"After all, our Qingfeng team has more than one person. We have a lot of experience, and we also need to protect you. This price is reasonable."
Upon hearing these words, Tang Yu's expression changed. Tang Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Alright. Three million then. I didn't bring any middle-grade Vital Spirit Crystals. This is thirty thousand High-Grade Vital Spirit Crystals, is that alright?"
"Yes, of course!"
He looked at the 30,000 High-Grade Vital Spirit Crystals. The big man's face lit up and he hurriedly said, "Alright, we only need one more person. Now is the right time. We can set off now."
When they arrived at the group, there were indeed quite a number of people inside.
Including this man, there were a total of eight people in the group. Each of them had the strength of a Mid Heavenly Human Stage or above, and this man had even reached the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Human Stage.
Besides the eight members of the team, there were also three groups of people.
On the left side, an old man was leading a young master, followed by two bookkeepers. In the middle was a young man with short hair and black clothes. He gave Tang Yu a slight glance, then closed his eyes and meditated on the ground, as if he had become one with nature.
On the right, Tang Yu was slightly speechless. There were two women. One of them was a middle-aged woman with a graceful figure, and her charm was still there. The young woman's white clothes fluttered in the wind, and under the veil on her face, one could vaguely see her exquisite and moving appearance.
When she saw Tang Yu's face, the middle-aged woman's heart trembled. She took a deep look at Tang Yu and asked without leaving a trace. "Little brother, may I know your name?"
"I don't think I know you well."
He sensed the other party's presence. That somewhat familiar aura... Tang Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Since I'm not familiar with it, there's no need for me to answer, right?"
"Oh? Is that so? I keep feeling that little brother looks very familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere before."
The middle-aged woman stared at Tang Yu and spoke word by word with a profound meaning.
Yes, these two were Yun Mei and Yun Menglou from the Misty Cloud Palace.
At this moment, Yun Mei looked at Tang Yu and her heart was filled with great waves of excitement.
As a member of the Large Sect, she had naturally seen the portrait of Tang Yu. She still remembered the person in the portrait clearly, but this kid in front of her actually looked exactly the same as the person in the portrait. She was sure that this was definitely the legendary Human Emperor Successor!
She had never thought that she would have such luck.
Seeing that the surrounding people did not notice, Yun Mei forcefully suppressed the excitement in her heart. Her eyes changed, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Oh, is that so? You got the wrong person, right?"
At this moment, Tang Yu also thought of why he could sense a familiar aura from this woman. The aura on this woman's body was the same as the one from the auction. She was definitely a member of the Misty Cloud Palace!
And now, it was obvious that this woman had recognized him.
Hearing Tang Yu's words, Yun Mei was even more certain of her thoughts. Suddenly, she thought of something and smiled, "Maybe I have mistaken you for someone else. I'm sorry."
As she spoke, Yun Mei did not look at Tang Yu anymore and instead turned to smile and say this to Yun Menglou beside her.
Hearing those words, Tang Yu laughed lightly. He took a deep look at Yun Mei and did not say anything else.
As he spoke, Boss and Fan Qingfeng of the Qingfeng team said to everyone in a deep voice, "Let's set off now, but I have to remind everyone. As long as we enter the desert, no matter how big of a figure you are or which major power you are from, you have to listen to us. Don't act on your own, or else you will have to bear the consequences of your actions.
Furthermore, in the desert, there are many dangers. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of being completely wiped out. It is best for everyone to work together and overcome these difficulties together. If I find out that there's an internal conflict going on here, don't blame us for being impolite! "
As he spoke, Fan Qingfeng looked at Yun Mei with a warning look.
Yun Mei gently smiled at Fan Qingfeng's words and did not say anything.
Along the way, everyone was an expert. Their speed was extremely fast, and they travelled over a hundred miles. There wasn't any disturbance. The young scion who was accompanied by the old man curled his lips. He said, "Didn't you say that the journey was fraught with danger? After walking for so long, let alone a single person... Even if you didn't see a small animal, is this the danger that your Qingfeng team is talking about? You are just cheating money, aren't you?"
Fan Qingfeng's face turned cold when he heard what the young master said. He said unhappily," The reason why you didn't encounter any danger is because you have avoided all the dangers under our lead. If you walk by yourself, you can try to walk ten miles. "
"I don't see any danger right now. You can say whatever you want."
The young master sneered and said, "It has been half a day. The sky is already dark and my legs are going numb. Don't you know how to rest? If you guys don't rest, then this young master will have to rest! "
"No, we absolutely cannot rest here. If we rest here, there will be great trouble. Taking advantage that the sky is not completely dark, we must speed up and walk a few dozen kilometers. There is a safe area there!"
Fan Qingfeng said in a deep voice.
"Dangerous? Dangerous my a * s! I didn't see that much danger! After walking for half a day, I'm still tired even if you're not tired. I'm going to rest here today, I want to see what danger there is. "If there's no danger, then you're just trying to trick us!"
That Young Master gave a disdainful smile. He took out the tent from his interspatial Storage Ring and actually laid it on the spot!
