"Miss, what's wrong? Why do you look a little strange?" Xiaoju looked at her young lady and asked.
Gu Ting shook her head and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something."
Gu Ting looked at the oasis in the distance and the two figures walking in front, wondering what she was thinking about.
Gu Yuan and Zhang Liu were walking in front. Zhang Liu's face was full of tension. After Gu Yuan's warning, Zhang Liu didn't dare to say any more nonsense, for fear that Gu Yuan would really attack him.
Gu Yuan carefully circulated the spiritual energy in his body to keep himself in the best attacking state at all times. As long as he found something wrong, he could take action immediately. In this dangerous desert, Gu Yuan did not dare to be careless at all, because carelessness would only put himself in danger and even cost him his life.
"I wonder what's going on in this oasis!"
Gu Yuan murmured. The oasis, which seemed quite quiet on the surface, made him even more worried.
As an oasis in such a large area, it stands to reason that there should be many monsters and other creatures gathered here. As long as they go in, they will definitely encounter them. This is beyond doubt.
However, Gu Yuan had already made preparations. Since he had accepted this task, he did not think of simply completing his task without doing anything. Fighting was the most basic thing in the task, and it was not beyond Gu Yuan's expectations at all.
"Wait a moment!"
A voice came from behind, Gu Yuan stopped and looked at the person who spoke.
Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan and the others from afar, slightly circulating her spiritual energy, and said in a voice mixed with spiritual energy: "You two, please remain extremely vigilant. We are getting closer and closer to the oasis, and the danger is also getting closer and closer to us. Any carelessness can bring us catastrophic disaster. Please be serious!"
Gu Yuan and Zhang Liu nodded, and then Gu Yuan turned around.
Gu Ting looked at this guy and couldn't help but frowning.
Zhang Liu looked at Gu Yuan in surprise, thinking to himself how bold this guy was. He dared to do this before the young lady of the Gu family even finished her words?
Gu Yuan didn't find anything wrong, and he didn't bother to care about the expressions and opinions of outsiders. He squatted down and inserted his fingers into the ground.
The sand was scorching hot, and Gu Yuan's earth-attributed spiritual energy was quickly mobilized. Then several strands of spiritual energy drilled into the ground and extended in all directions. At the same time, Gu Yuan's mind was constantly receiving feedback from the spiritual energy about the situation under the ground.
In front of him, there was a desert centipede lurking underground, waiting for the night to come so that he could better catch prey.
Gu Yuan's soul power continued to extend outward. There were many monsters lurking underground. This was understandable because the temperature was extremely high during the day, so these monsters were dormant during the day and then came out when night fell to catch their prey.
As they got closer to the oasis, Gu Yuan became slightly nervous. Facing this unknown environment, it would be a lie for Gu Yuan to say that he was not nervous.
However, Gu Yuan did not show it too obviously. After all, his current appearance had been disguised by himself. If his emotions fluctuated too much, it might attract the attention of the people in the team, which would not be a good thing for him.
The oasis seemed very close to the team, but only after walking for a whole hour did they realize that they were gradually approaching the oasis and had truly reached the edge of the oasis.
"Miss, we are about to enter the oasis!"
Gu Yuan stopped, then turned around and said to Gu Ting.
"Um!"
Gu Ting looked at the oasis in front of her, with a hint of caution in her eyes.
Fortunately, no accidents happened along the way, not even some small-scale battles occurred.
Gu Ting was relieved about this, but she also had some other concerns.
It was a little too quiet along the way.
"Everyone, pay attention to your realm, pay attention to your feet and the distance, to prevent anything from attacking us!"
Gu Ting frowned slightly and spoke to everyone.
"Butler, if anything happens, you are responsible for dispatching them, do you understand?!"
The housekeeper stood up and said, "Don't worry, Miss!"
"Thank you for your hard work. Now please rest here for a while. After you have rested, we will stay here for the night."
Glancing at the sky, she knew it would still take some time before it got dark. The night in the desert was extremely dangerous, and Gu Ting didn't really want to enter the oasis in the dark.
The reason is very simple. When night falls, visibility is poor and everyone's combat effectiveness will be affected to some extent. In addition, night is a time when people are more mentally exhausted, so Gu Ting does not want these people to enter the oasis in the dark. Because fighting is inevitable in the oasis, entering the oasis at night is not a wise choice.
"Butler, take them to set up the tent. It's very cold at night, and they will be affected without a tent!" Gu Ting whispered to the butler beside her.
"good!"
The steward stood up and nodded, then said to the crowd, "Everyone, please help set up the tent. We will stay here tonight. Let's rest first, and after tonight, we will set off and enter the oasis."
"Butler, I have a question. What kind of herbs are we going to collect this time? Are they some magical herbs?" someone asked curiously.
"This is not something I can know. Everything in the oasis is unknown and has not been explored in advance." The butler replied indifferently.
Obviously, the butler's answer was very serious. Not to mention that he really didn't know these things, even if he knew, he couldn't reveal the secrets of his family in front of his young lady!
The man curled his lips, sat on the ground and said nothing more.
Gu Yuan stood up calmly. After the housekeeper distributed the tents, Gu Yuan and Zhang Liu set up their own tent together.
After thinking about it, Gu Yuan slowly walked towards Gu Ting.
"What do you want to do?"
The housekeeper came hurriedly from not far away, blocked Gu Yuan in front of him, and asked cautiously.
Gu Yuan took a step back, creating some distance between him and the housekeeper, and then said, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered whether I need someone to be on duty at night. After all, night is coming soon, and the dark night in the desert is still quite dangerous. I think it won't work without someone on duty."
"Of course, someone is needed to be on duty. Don't worry about that! I'll make the arrangements!"
The housekeeper looked at Gu Yuan and spoke lightly, with no intention of giving way.
Gu Yuan nodded, then spread his hands and walked away.
