Tonight, people from the four major families set out overnight. When the Wan family was asleep, they quietly left the city and entered the desert, looking for treasures from hundreds of years ago.

He thought his whereabouts were secret, but little did he know that they were all under Ling Che's control.

"Master, they have already set off." When Zhang Nian came over to report, Ling Che was holding Yun Jiao, nestling comfortably in the warm big bed.

"Let them go first," he snorted. "The temperature difference between day and night in Lanzhou is huge. It's especially cold at night. It's hard to tell the direction in the dark. They can't go far in one night."

"Yes." Zhang Nian stepped back.

He pinched Yunjiao's waist and said, "It's cold in the desert, it's more comfortable to hold Jiaojiao."

Yun Jiao nestled in his arms obediently, laughing softly, with deep meaning hidden in her lowered eyes.

The night passed peacefully.

The next day, after breakfast, Ling Che calmly commanded the team and prepared to set off. There was no need to bring any fancy things into the desert, just two things: camels and water.

Once these two things are prepared and you can take some people with you, you can set off.

Outside the city.

The yellow sand is rolling, the climate is dry, there are no trees on the mountain, just bare hills, it looks extremely desolate, the houses made of loess are dried and cracked by the wind and sand, and unknown insects are crawling on the ground.

The city has very little water and suffers from perennial drought.

The further west we went, the less vegetation there was and the hotter the sun became. After walking for about an hour, the desert came into view.

The endless yellow sand has no boundaries and you can't see the end at a glance. The undulating hills spread out into the unknown distance. It is deserted, lifeless, and filled with the raging breath of death.

In order to save time, some caravans crossed the edge of the desert and took a fixed route.

At this moment, there are quite a few people here, so it doesn't seem dead quiet. However, so far no one dares to go deep into the desert. Once you go in, you will lose your way and can't get out. If there is no water source, you will die of thirst, sunburn, exhaustion, or be bitten to death by poisonous insects and beasts inside.

A group of people rode on camels and entered the desert.

Yun Jiao was dressed warmly, with a cloth towel on her head to protect her from the wind and sand, and her hands wrapped to avoid sunburn. She sat on the back of a tall camel, watching the desert grow deeper and deeper and the city behind her grow farther and farther away until it disappeared.

There was a long team of about 40 people. Zhang Nian walked in the front, always recording the direction and approximate distance he had walked to ensure that he could return along the original route.

Ling Che followed Yun Jiao and spoke to her from time to time. When everyone looked solemn, the two of them talked and laughed.

This scene was reflected in Sang Xue's eyes. She followed behind and had no choice but to watch. She was so angry that she clenched her teeth and ghostly lights appeared.

She raised her voice: "I wonder which direction I should go next to catch up with the four major families?"

This sentence seemed to be asking Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao looked back and said, "We have just entered the desert, we are still at the edge, don't worry, I will find the way after we enter the depths of the desert."

Sang Xue sneered when she heard this:

"You don't know, do you?"

Still trying to be mysterious.

For hundreds of years, no one has dared to enter the desert easily, and no one has been able to conquer this holy and mysterious area. How could Yun Jiao guess it?

Yun Jiao smiled calmly and did not argue with her. Instead, she looked at Ling Che beside her with some grievance and complained:

"Ah Che, look at Sister Sangsang, I know she doesn't like me."

Ling Che frowned, "Sang Xue, if you continue to cause trouble, go back to Lanzhou City."

Sang Xue: “…”
