Chapter 13: Say Less
-
Being surrounded by yellow sand, you can't tell the directions of east, south, west or north, nor can you tell how long you have been walking.
I always feel like I'm never reaching the end, and after walking for a long time it still looks like the same place.
Apart from the fact that the sun above was gradually setting and the scorching temperature was fading slightly, there was no other difference.
But this afternoon, I was relatively lucky.
At least we didn't encounter any hardships, and this desert area seems to be very safe.
"Rest where you are."
When walking in the scorching desert, necessary rest and replenishment are essential.
These people who come to explore the secret realm will bring storage space with them, which contains sufficient food and water, which come in handy at times like this.
As a slave, Gu Jinli sneaked in secretly, so naturally she had no storage room. She had nothing except the clothes on her body.
Her stomach had been growling for a long time and she was starving.
"elder sister."
I don’t know how he got a pot of water, but Shen Chigui found Gu Jinli in the crowd with the pot in his hand.
“Drink some water!”
She handed the kettle in her hand to Gu Jinli.
"?"
Is it going to rain red?
The heroine actually gave her water to drink. Was it poisoned?
Staring at her with suspicion, Gu Jinli said nothing.
"Don't worry, sister!"
Chen Chigui could tell what she was thinking at a glance. He sneered and took the initiative to unscrew the stopper and took a sip: "It's not poisonous."
“…”
She is not afraid even if it is poisonous.
Muttering silently in her heart, Gu Jinli licked her dry lower lip and did not refuse anymore.
Anyway, her special physique won't kill her, so why should she suffer if she can avoid it?
“Gudong gudong gudong——”
Drinking lots of water in this hot weather is enough to relieve most of the restlessness in your heart.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Gu Jinli felt that her stomach wasn’t as painful anymore.
"elder sister."
After shaking the kettle to make sure all the water inside had been drunk, Shen Chigui curled the corners of his lips, leaned forward and whispered: "Let's leave tonight! I know the location of the central tower. If we hurry, we might be the first to arrive."
"don't want."
Why are you talking about this again?
Gu Jinli frowned, feeling a little helpless.
Along the way, the heroine had brought it up many times, and each time she had clearly refused, but this man was like an indestructible cockroach and would come back again soon.
"I will let my sister go with me~"
With an ambiguous smile on his lips, Shen Chigui didn't say much this time. He silently picked up the kettle and returned to the back of the team.
“…”
Looking at the other person's receding back, Gu Jinli suddenly had an ominous premonition for some reason.
…
The ominous premonition came true.
When her body moved involuntarily, Gu Jinli knew it was over.
It was already late at night, and the group found a pile of rocks to rest temporarily, preparing to continue their journey early the next morning.
The journey was incredibly peaceful and we encountered almost no difficulties.
Gu Jinli did not expect that the desert area would be such a peaceful area.
But when she inexplicably stood up from the ground and left the crowd, everything went wrong.
Stop!
Don't go!
Unable to vent the cry in her heart, Gu Jinli heard her own voice which was normal.
"I'm going to leave for a while."
After saying that, she watched herself leave the pile of stones, go around the team and walk away from the other side.
What's going on? !
Why is her body out of control? !
Stop!
Stop it now!
…
…
The wind was very strong at night, and the sharp wind from the desert blew on my body and it hurt like a knife.
Gu Jinli didn’t know how long she had been walking. She left the team aimlessly and kept moving forward, walking through one sand dune after another, and finally stopped in an unknown place.
The constant blowing sand blew away her footprints and also blew away the possibility of her finding her way back.
In this desert where everything looks exactly the same, once you get separated from the group it is difficult to reunite.
"Is this your purpose?"
When Gu Jinli saw the heroine Chen Chigui following behind him, he knew what was going on.
This guy must have done something to cause this to happen.
"What did you do to me?!"
Thinking carefully about what happened today, there were no particularly obvious traces.
I was clearly on high alert, but I was still tricked by this person.
Gu Jinli was extremely angry. After regaining control of her body, she immediately rushed over and grabbed the heroine by the collar and asked, "Is it that water?!"
She asked why the heroine suddenly became so kind in the evening, and did not pester him again after being rejected.
Now think about it, isn't this just a naked conspiracy? !
"Don't be angry, sister~"
Letting the other party grab his collar, Shen Chigui said with a smile: "I didn't lie to you~ There is indeed no poison in it."
If it's not poisonous, it's hard to say whether there's anything else.
After all, her goal was achieved.
“You bastard! You bastard!!”
Naturally, he also heard the other party's hidden meaning, and Gu Jinli was almost angry to death.
How can there be such shameless people in this world? !
What a shameless guy who wrote it himself! In other words, she dug a hole for herself!
"How did you become like this!" Gu Jinli was so disappointed.
How come the heroine, who was so cool and elegant in the text, is so different after becoming a human?
Many times she was a little doubtful, is this really the character she created?
"What does my sister want to say?"
His eyes turned cold instantly, and Shen Chigui grabbed Gu Jinli's wrist and pulled her down.
"I advise my sister to say less!"
Lifting her chin slightly, she sneered, "I'm not in such a good mood right now."
“…”
Is this a threat?
It is undoubtedly a naked threat.
Gu Jinli gritted her teeth, but didn't dare to say more.
She had also seen the heroine's methods, and now they were alone in the desert, so she really couldn't act on impulse.
but……
How abominable!
I really can't swallow this.
"Let's go, sister."
After identifying his current location based on the direction of the moon, Chen Chigui pointed to the right and said, "This way."
“…”
Now that things have come to this, we can only do what this person says.
To be honest, Gu Jinli was actually very curious. Why did this person insist on taking her with him instead of leaving by himself if he wanted to go to the Tower of Babel earlier?
Could it be that she has some other purpose?
With this doubt in mind, Gu Jinli was forced to embark on the same journey as the heroine.
But soon, she found out why the heroine insisted on taking her with her.
Because they encountered a desert scorpion, a giant scorpion that lurks in the sand and suddenly attacks its prey when it is least prepared.
Just by looking at the demonic energy on it, one can tell that this is a demonic beast of no less than level three.
"Sister, the desert scorpion's tail sting is poisonous! It likes to use its tail sting to attack when hunting."
Hiding behind her with blinking eyes, Shen Chigui's thoughts were already obvious.
"Be careful, sister! I'll help you kill it when the chance arises!"
Gu Jinli was pushed to the front: “???”
No, she is asking!
So this is why this guy insisted on taking me along? ?
A mobile shield? ? ?
