Even though it was dark, the hot land where Lu Wuxiu was was lit up by the flames that kept coming out of the ground. After his sword broke, he began to walk towards the edge of the land. After all, if he encountered the black bird again, he would have no weapons to resist.
Lu Wuxiu put away the black bird's demon pill and walked upstream along the river. Not long ago, when he was releasing poisonous birds upstream, he caught a glimpse of the shadows of plants on the distant horizon. That should be the edge of this hot land.
After walking for a long time, Lu Wuxiu drank the water in his water bag many times. Fortunately, the river was right next to him, so drinking water was not a problem. Otherwise, he might not be able to get out of such a large dry area.
Finally, Lu Wuxi came to the so-called silhouettes of plants on the horizon. When he got closer, he found that these were not food at all, but just a few stones blown into strange shapes by the wind. From a distance, the shapes did look a bit like trees.
Seeing this situation, Lu Wuxiu no longer had the patience to continue walking. It was already late, so after observing his surroundings and finding that there was no danger, he sat down on a rock and continued to rest.
This hot land is just as you see it with your own eyes. Except for the whistling sound of hot wind coming from afar, there is no other sound. Looking at the darkness in front of you, it seems as if you are the only one left in the world.
In such a quiet space, Lu Wuxiu, who had been tired all day, finally closed his eyes slowly.
The hot wind blew tirelessly, and Lu Wuxiu's hair had long been messed up. His slightly pale lips became dry, and a thin layer of sand quickly covered his cheeks...
Sasha Sasha…
The light sound of footsteps on the dry soil was carried faintly from a distance by the wind. Lu Wuxiu frowned and suddenly opened his eyes.
He didn't move immediately, not even his breathing rate changed. The soft sound of footsteps gradually grew louder, and judging by the footsteps, there were at least ten people coming.
Lu Wuxiu quietly tightened the hilt of the broken sword in his hand. The group of people were getting closer and closer to Lu Wuxiu. Just when Lu Wuxiu was about to take the initiative, the leader turned around and the footsteps gradually moved away from the stone where he had just rested.
After he could no longer hear any footsteps, Lu Wuxiu slowly stood up and leaned over to look in the direction where the footsteps were moving away. He just happened to see ten figures wearing black cloaks, walking slowly forward in a row.

Seeing this, Yan Baibai breathed a sigh of relief for Lu Wuxiu. When she thought Lu Wuxiu would move to another resting place, she found that he had quietly followed her.
At this point, Yan Baibai couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Lu Wuxiu quietly followed the group of black-robed men in front of him. He kept a good distance, and only followed them quietly when they were about to disappear from his sight.
This tracking process was dull and tedious. Yan Baibai was quite nervous at first, but in the quiet atmosphere, she fell into a dormant state unknowingly.
When Yan Baibai felt something was wrong and opened her eyes, she found that Lu Wuxiu had come to an unfamiliar place. It was called unfamiliar because the environment here was completely different from the one before she closed her eyes.
Lu Wuxiu was originally in a hot land that was steaming from time to time, but now he was in a place that seemed like a cave. The only difference was that the underground river in the cave was icy cold, and the cave he was in now was not flowing with cold water, but a stream of magma that was constantly bubbling with heat.
Even the stalactites above my head weren't dripping cold water, but fiery lava. Lava dripped from the stalactites on the cave ceiling, dripping onto the rocks on the ground, melting them into a large hole. It then dripped onto the lava river, making a gentle puffing sound before dissolving into the roiling magma.
The cave was very quiet. There were chaotic footsteps and quarrels coming from not far ahead. Lu Wuxiu was hiding in a high place. There were drops of magma dripping from above his head. The magma brushed past his side. If he moved a little more to the side, the magma would drip onto his shoulder.
At this moment, Lu Wuxiu stood still like a pine tree, his entire mind focused on the group of people not far away. Even though Lu Wuxiu's face didn't show any significant expression, Yan Baibai could still sense something unusual in his eyes.
Yan Baibai actually felt this abnormality before falling asleep, but it was not particularly obvious at that time. She thought that Lu Wuxiu was just nervous because he was following someone. Now it seems that is not the case.
The only thing that could cause Lu Wuxiu to behave like this was the group of black-robed men he was following, and among them, there should be someone he was familiar with.
Who could it be?
With such doubts, Yan Baibai also focused all his attention on the group of black-robed people in front.
Lu Wuxiu was very cautious and did not get close. The position he chose was tricky. It could not only hide his whereabouts but also hear the voices of the group of black-robed men. He only needed to slightly turn sideways to see a few of them, and the movements of the remaining few people were reflected on the wall opposite Lu Wuxiu because of the light from the fire.
A slightly warm breeze blew gently from afar, but even so, it took away a lot of the heat and brought with it the quarreling sounds that the group of black-robed men in the distance had no longer suppressed.
"Hasn't this the moment we paid such a high price for?" This was the voice of an old man, with anger in his voice, and then he began to cough uncontrollably and loudly, like the sound of a broken organ.
"Yes, yes, don't be willful at this time. You have finally seized this opportunity. Don't you want to live an upright life like a normal person?" This was the voice of a young man. He was echoing the old man's words, and there was a coaxing tone in his tone.
