"Oh, I hope we can be safe these two nights and not encounter those sand bandits. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous because some of them are still very strong!" Liu Cheng said with a sigh.
"It shouldn't happen. Besides, we can fight against the enemy with our own strength and block the water with earth. Brother Liu, there is no need to worry too much." Gu Yuan comforted.
"How could you possibly know how terrifying the Sand Bandits are? You're just making comments without knowing anything. You're truly a newborn calf who's not afraid of a tiger!"
Liu Ru on the side rolled her eyes at Gu Yuan and said unhappily.
Liu Cheng did not say anything to stop Liu Ru this time. Obviously, he felt that Gu Yuan's words were a bit too optimistic.
Gu Yuan didn't feel embarrassed. He simply lowered his head and said nothing.
The carriage became quiet.
The atmosphere gradually became awkward until Xiao Si'er's voice was heard outside, breaking the awkwardness.
"Boss, it's getting dark. Let's camp here." Xiao Si'er asked.
Pulling open the car curtain, Gu Yuan looked outside. The sky had already turned dark. Once night fell, the risk factor increased a lot.
"Little brother, let's go down. It's night time now and we can't rush on. Otherwise, it will increase the danger." Liu Cheng said.
"good!"
After getting out of the car, Xiao Sier took out a few small stools from the car and several people sat down.
"Rumei, it's cold at night, you should wear this!"
Badao got out of the car, took out a coat made of some unknown fur, and handed it to Liu Ru.
The little leather skirt that Liu Ru wore during the day was obviously not able to withstand the cold at night, so she did not refuse Badao's kindness and took it and put it on.
There was a hint of joy in Badao's eyes. He didn't expect that Rumei didn't reject him this time.
Gu Yuan sat down, while Xiao Si'er and Ba Dao were busy setting up tents around. People like them who often traveled in the desert could not just find a place to sit down and practice like Gu Yuan did.
"Speaking of which, little brother Gu Yuan, I wonder what your plans are?" Liu Cheng looked at Gu Yuan and asked.
Gu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "For the time being, I don't have any plans. After all, I'm unfamiliar with the place. I want to leave this desert first. I don't even know how long I've been in the desert. The thing I want to do most is to go out and take a shower, hahahaha!"
"Hahaha, what Brother Gu Yuan said is interesting!" Liu Cheng said with a smile.
"Boss, the tents are ready, but there are only three of our tents..."
After a while, Xiao Sier ran over and said to Liu Cheng.
When the four of them traveled, Liu Ru usually lived in a tent alone, Xiao Si'er lived in a tent alone, and Liu Cheng and Ba Dao took turns on duty, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half.
When you go out, especially in this kind of environment, it is impossible not to have someone guarding you outside.
So, it was obvious that there was no Gu Yuan’s tent.
"How about this, Brother Gu Yuan, you can live in one room, Xiao Si'er can live in another, and Ba Dao and I will guard outside." After thinking about it, Liu Cheng said.
"How can this be? It's a whole night. The night here is so long. You and Badao can't guard it all night together!" Liu Ru stood up and said.
"Yes, boss, how about this, this little brother and Xiao Si'er sleep in one tent, and the two of us sleep in another, taking turns on duty!" Badao said to Liu Cheng.
"Brother Liu, it's already very good that you can take me out. How can I let you do this? Let's do this. You all go and have rest. I will help you keep watch at night. Although my cultivation is not high, my vigilance is very high." Gu Yuan looked at them and said.
"How can this be so embarrassing!"
Liu Cheng shook his head and said.
"How about this, you guys go and rest, and Brother Gu Yuan and I will stay outside together. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'd like to chat with you about the outside world! How do you think?"
"Of course!" Gu Yuan nodded and said.
"Okay, all of you go in and get some rest. The temperature is already very low at night, and it's not good to get sick."
"Well, brother, you must be careful at night. Remember to notify us if anything happens!" Liu Ru reminded.
"Okay! Badao, Xiao Si'er, you guys should go in too. Don't stand outside."
After Xiao Si'er and Badao went in, only Gu Yuan and Liu Cheng were left sitting outside.
Gu Yuan was very familiar with this feeling. It reminded him of the time when he met the people from the Yan family of Black Rock City in the Black Demon Mountains.
"Brother Liu, I'm new here and not very familiar with this place. Could you tell me more about the area?"
"sure!"
Liu Cheng nodded and said, "This is the Southern Region. The Southern Region is very large, with many forces distributed throughout it. However, those top sects are not something we can contact. I will tell you about the situation around us. As for the rest, if you are interested, you can buy a geography book when you go out. It describes everything very clearly, including the distribution of sect forces and geographical locations. You can learn everything you want to know."
"Okay, then please, Brother Liu, tell me about what's happening outside the desert." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Let me tell you about Sand City first. I see you seem to want to go there, so I want to tell you first, be more careful and don't provoke anyone you shouldn't provoke, especially in Sand City."
Liu Cheng's expression gradually grew serious as he continued, "There are four forces that established Sand City. These four forces are actually the four major forces located in the southwest of the Southern Territory. They are considered first-rate forces in the entire Southern Territory. Each of them is led by a Spirit Emperor!"
"Each one of them has a Spirit Emperor in charge? So powerful!"
"Of course, how can a sect without a Spirit Emperor in charge be called a first-rate force? They are the very presence that would shake the entire southwest corner with a single stomp of their feet. It's precisely because of these four sects that Sand City can exist in peace. Otherwise, who wouldn't want a piece of such a huge pie? It's just that in front of the four major forces, those who would dare not take a bite."
"These four major forces are the Tianhan Sect, Tianhuo Sect, Qingshan Sect, and Lingtian Sect! Do you know which of these four sects is the most difficult to mess with?"
"Which one?"
"Sky Fire Sect!"
Liu Cheng said with a serious expression, "The Skyfire Sect is a rather unique sect. Just like their name suggests, everyone in the sect, whether disciples, elders, or even the Sect Master, cultivates fire-attributed techniques! And what they cultivate is the fire-controlling magic passed down from the sect. So, it can be said that everyone in the Skyfire Sect is an expert at playing with fire! Nearly half of the people there have their own flames, perhaps demonic fires, perhaps spiritual fires, anyway, they are all related to fire! It is precisely because of playing with fire that each of them is very irritable, so they are extremely difficult to mess with."
