"Black sand, so this is definitely not the Nether Desert!"

Gu Yuan directly ruled out the first desert location.

Sliding his finger across the map, the second location was the Sakha Desert, located in the northern region of the continent, within the territory of the Khan Empire. It was uninhabited all year round and was the most desolate area.

"This Saharan Desert thing is a bit of a possibility, but isn't that description too general?"

Gu Yuan couldn't help but frown. He was in Leishen Village before. Leishen Village belonged to Leiming City, and Leiming City was a city of the Cangyuan Dynasty.

Gu Yuan looked at the map again and again, and was surprised to find that he couldn't find the location of the Cang Yuan Dynasty! !

"What the hell? Is it because it's too small to even find a spot?"

Gu Yuan couldn't help but swear. Can't there be something that makes him happy?

"Oh, forget it, let it go. Anyway, even if I knew where it was, I probably wouldn't be able to get out at the moment. It's better to just survive here peacefully, practice peacefully, and then find a way out when the time is right. The most important task at the moment is to find an oasis with water!"

Gu Yuan made up his mind to practice first and then look for water.

Gu Yuan put away the map on the ground, stood up, and started to operate the Wanhua Shiling Jue in his body. In this place where fire energy gathered, the speed of his Wanhua Shiling Jue was much faster.

The Wanhua Soul Devouring Art began to operate, and a muffled sound was heard from Gu Yuan's body, madly devouring the fire-attributed spiritual energy in the space.

Gu Yuan felt that the cells in his body were cheering non-stop, greedily devouring the fire energy.

"I estimate that after a few more days of practice, I will be able to break through to the fifth-level spiritual master!"

Gu Yuan smiled and couldn't help feeling a little excited. This is really a great place!

"It's a pity that I couldn't bring Brother Pharmacist with me. It's a bit regrettable. After all, he was the one who saved me."

He shook his head and got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. He was very regretful, but Gu Yuan would not have too many emotions. After all, things had come to this point, and it would be useless for him to think about it any more.

"Practice hard and break through to the fifth level of spiritual master as soon as possible is the real thing!"

Gu Yuan raised his head, chose a direction according to his intuition, and then walked forward.

Since everything is unknown, Gu Yuan doesn't care whether there is danger ahead or not. He just moves forward according to his intuition.

“Rustle…”

The soles of his feet landed on the ground, making a rustling sound. In the endless desert, there was only a young figure with his upper body naked walking slowly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun had changed direction, indicating that it was almost dark.

He took out some fresh water from the ring and took a sip to wet his throat. Gu Yuan resisted the urge to drink a few more gulps and took the water back.

Not knowing what situation he would encounter later, Gu Yuan had to restrain himself and ensure that he would not die of thirst. At least before finding a water source, Gu Yuan could not drink the limited amount of fresh water.

"Nighttime in the desert is far more dangerous than daytime. Many strange monsters lie dormant underground during the day and only emerge at night when the temperature is lower. That's when I need to be more cautious."

After checking his space ring, Gu Yuan looked at the things inside his ring and found some miscellaneous things to repel mosquitoes and insects. Gu Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"With these things, it seems that I can solve some troubles and save a lot of effort. Fortunately, I usually like to prepare some miscellaneous things, but I never thought that they would really be useful."

Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Time passed quickly in the desert, and Gu Yuan was lucky enough to find a rock to rest on for the night before sunset.

The sun set and the entire desert became completely dark.

It was quiet and dark, and Gu Yuan only felt a little desolate. After all, he was the only one in such a big place.

Gu Yuan, who had originally planned to light a fire, also gave up the idea because there was no hiding place here and the stone was the only thing. Gu Yuan was afraid that the fire would attract some monsters and beasts, which might cause some trouble.

"Oh, damn it! Fortunately, there is still some faint moonlight here, otherwise it would be pitch dark!"

After Gu Yuan cursed inwardly, he took out a bunch of gadgets from his space ring.

The moonlight was dim, and Gu Yuan used it to identify the things in his hand. Then he took out one of the small cloth bags, took out the things inside, and scattered them around himself, also circling the stones.

What Gu Yuan scattered was not broken, but the feces of some high-level monsters. In this unfamiliar environment, it could save Gu Yuan some trouble.

After sprinkling some realgar and other things, Gu Yuan leaned against the stone and inexplicably felt a sense of security.

I thought to myself that it was a good thing that I found such a big rock to lean on. If I didn’t have such a rock, I would be alone in this desolate desert, which would be a bit uncomfortable.

Gu Yuan smacked his lips, trying to reduce the noise of his movements to prevent anything from being attracted by his voice.

After finishing all this, Gu Yuan still didn't dare to relax. After all, he was in an unfamiliar environment. If he relaxed like this, he might die without leaving any trace.

Gu Yuan was not a careless person. Here, he didn't dare to sleep. He could only close his eyes and enter a very shallow state of cultivation to keep his spirits up.

Gu Yuan didn't dare to fall asleep, because he would not be able to detect the movements outside in a timely and effective manner. However, Gu Yuan had to rest. In this environment, even though Gu Yuan was already a fourth-level spiritual master, he felt a little tired. After all, this environment was too harsh and it was really exhausting.

Therefore, Gu Yuanzhi was able to enter a very shallow state of cultivation to restore his spirit.

"I hope this night will pass quickly without any accidents."

Gu Yuan took a deep breath. The temperature at night in the desert was the opposite of that during the day: scorching heat during the day and bitterly cold at night. Gu Yuan huddled up, his spiritual energy circulating, able to withstand the severe cold.

I entered a state of cultivation and the first half of the night passed quietly without anything happening.

But in the second half of the night, things were not so peaceful.

At a certain moment, the wind suddenly blew in the desert, and it seemed to be getting stronger.

Gu Yuan came out of his cultivation state and couldn't help but frowning, becoming alert.

"The wind is picking up. It looks like something is going to happen."

Gu Yuan sighed and looked at the sky. The moon had moved forty-five degrees and had just entered the second half of the night.
