"Why are there so many monsters in this desert?"

Night Wind was a little annoyed, and with a single move of the Star Rain Sword, he riddled the monster that emerged from the sand, which looked like a crab or a spider, with holes.

Fifteen minutes later, the night wind finally arrived at the caravan.

The sudden night wind naturally alerted all the members of the caravan. Those riding camels all drew their bows and arrows, pointing them at the wind, and many of them also had two scimitars in their hands.

Night Wind said, "Please don't misunderstand, everyone. I'm just lost and wanted to ask you for directions."

"Aren't you from the desert?" the leader asked, taking off his hood.

“I am naturally not a desert dweller,” Night Wind said.

As he spoke, Ye Feng took out a map, unfolded it, and asked, "Could you please point me out on the map? I don't even know where I am right now."

"That's fine."

The burly man nodded with a smile, but did not order his men to lower the bow and arrows pointed at Ye Feng.

He jumped off the camel, strode up to Ye Feng, took the map from Ye Feng's hand, and examined it carefully.

After a moment, the burly man said, "We are here now."

The burly man pointed to the bottom left corner of the map, and Ye Feng smiled bitterly upon seeing it.

Chang Qingyue's destination, Fengyan City, is located in the center of the map, while Ye Feng is currently in the lower left corner. It's quite a journey to get to Fengyan City from here.

But in any case, once you've clarified your position and have a direction, things become much easier.

Although traveling is tiring, it's much better than being clueless and not knowing what to do.

"Thank you for letting me know. Until we meet again."

As Ye Feng put away the map and prepared to leave, the burly man said, "You're not from the desert. It's easy to get lost in the desert, and the high altitude is full of dangers. Not only are there bone-crackling gales, but there are also countless monsters. Even if you fly into the air, you probably won't be able to find your way."

"What should we do?" Night Wind asked.

"As long as you have a tracking beast to lead the way, that's fine. Our caravan happens to transport some tracking beasts among the live animals. If you need one, I can sell you one."

The burly man laughed and continued, "Don't worry, the price I offer is absolutely fair and honest, and the quality is excellent at a low price."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately felt like he had encountered a salesperson and was being pressured into doing something to him.

"How many spirit stones?" Ye Feng asked.

"Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones will suffice," the burly man said.

"Are you kidding me!"

Night Wind sneered, preparing to abandon the burly man and leave.

Although the sky is full of dangers, with Ye Feng's current strength, he can stay in the air for a short time to determine direction without any problem. There is no need to spend so many spirit stones to buy any tracking beast.

Even if Ye Feng has no shortage of spirit stones, there's no need for him to be a sucker.

Unexpectedly, just as Ye Feng was about to leave, a powerful arrow suddenly shot from a distance.

Night Wind raised his right hand and swiftly grasped the arrow that had been shot at him, his face filled with rage.

He thought he was being attacked by the caravan, but the next moment he realized something was wrong, because the arrows weren't coming from the direction of the caravan at all.

"The bandits are here!"

"It's the One-Eyed Bird Bandit Gang!"

"Boss, this guy must be a spy for the bandits! Kill him quickly!"

The burly man retreated a few steps, pulled out two curved knives, and looked at Ye Feng warily.

Night Wind threw away the arrow in his hand and said, "If I were a spy sent by a bandit gang, would those bandits shoot me first?"

Hearing Ye Feng say this, the burly man's wariness lessened somewhat.

The next moment, a barrage of arrows flew in from afar, and the caravan guards immediately pulled out small round shields to defend themselves.

Each of those arrows contained true energy, indicating that the people who used them were all martial artists.

However, the guards of this caravan were not bad either. Most of them were at the early stage of the Separation and Union Realm, and the burly man leading the caravan had even reached the early stage of the True Essence Realm.

However, compared to the bandit group that came from afar, they were far inferior.

The band of horse thieves who came from afar numbered about a hundred, all riding the desert specialty – the Yellow Smoke Horse.

Most of the hundreds of bandits were at the peak of the Qi Movement Realm, a small number were at the Separation and Union Realm, and the leaders were all at the True Essence Realm!

The bandit gang fired arrows at the caravan as they traveled.

Although the caravan guards could block the arrows, they were also held up here and unable to travel. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before they were surrounded by bandits!

Their strength is clearly far inferior to that of the bandit group. Once they are caught up and surrounded, they will definitely be wiped out!

"Since you just gave me directions, I'll help you out today."

"Night Wind said, and leaped up to meet the bandits.

The caravan's guards were all stunned by what they saw.

"Why is that guy charging towards the bandits?"

"Is he courting death?"

"Why are you looking for death? He was a spy for the bandit gang!"

“But he’s not from the desert, and he doesn’t seem to be with the bandits.”

The caravan leader shouted, "What's all the noise about? Let's see what's going on first!"

The night wind swept towards the bandit group, naturally attracting the attention of the bandit leaders.

"Good lad, you've got guts!"

The scarred, burly man at the very front of the One-Eyed Bird Bandit Gang grinned maliciously.

He then took out a decapitation sword and leaped into the air towards the night wind.

"I'll show you what you've got!" the scarred, burly man said with a loud laugh.

This scarred, burly man is the leader of the One-Eyed Bird Bandit Gang, a mid-stage True Essence Realm martial artist.

His spiritual weapon, the decapitation sword, is a seventh-grade spiritual weapon.

Because the desert is chaotic and fraught with danger, few alchemists and weapon refiners come here.

Alchemists and weapon refiners who end up in the desert are basically those who couldn't make a living elsewhere.

For this reason, elixirs and magical artifacts are extremely precious in the desert. It is already quite remarkable that the leader of the One-Eyed Bird Bandit Gang has a seventh-grade magical artifact.

Just as he reached Ye Feng, the bandit leader swung his sword fiercely at him.

The moment the blade struck, crimson flames ignited in the wound, radiating an astonishing heat wave.

This is the signature martial art of the leader of the One-Eyed Bird Bandit Gang: the Blazing Flame Blade!

Seeing their leader unleash the Fiery Blade, the members of the bandit group were all extremely excited.

"That kid is going to die a horrible death."

"Nonsense, that's the Boss's Blazing Blade. How many people in this area can withstand a single strike from the Boss?"

"That kid doesn't look like a desert dweller, but it doesn't matter, he'll soon become a skeleton in the desert!"

While the One-Eyed Bird Bandit Gang was buzzing with discussion, the caravan was also far from calm.

Seeing Ye Feng attack the bandit group, the caravan guards knew that Ye Feng was not a spy for the bandits.
