Qian Yeming's voice rang out.
"There's an eagle in the sky, and it's exactly the same eagle that appeared when we were attacked yesterday."
Qian Yeming's words instantly made everyone nervous. They all picked up their weapons and prepared to join the next battle.
"Everyone, there's no need to panic. If there really were a large number of desert mercenaries heading there, I could sense it within three miles. At least, there's no one within three miles now." said the martial arts master next to the wealthy businessman.
Qing Fan said, "That's right. We should hurry on. Not far ahead is the first water source in the desert. Let's go there to rehydrate. If those people really want to cause trouble for us, we can fight them off with our own strength! If we can annihilate them the first time, we can repel them the second time."
Qing Fan's words instantly boosted morale, and everyone responded and headed towards the first water source.
We had thought the desert mercenaries would arrive soon after the eagle appeared in the sky. However, we traveled for another two hours, and when we reached the water source, there was still no sign of anything. Only then did everyone feel relieved, believing that the eagle's words were just a waste of worry.
This water source is the first oasis upon entering the desert, a small lake. The clear and majestic waters instantly revitalized the exhausted caravan members.
When the team members saw this oasis, they were all delighted. They dropped their bags and rushed to the river, ready to drink a lot of water, wash their faces, and then pack their luggage.
"Wait! Be careful, it's poisonous!" Qing Fan shouted, causing everyone's joyful movements to stop abruptly. They all looked at Qing Fan with green faces.
"I believe what this young master said. Since he said there was something wrong with the eagle in the sky, it must be true. If the young master of the Gong family is determined to kill us and is somewhat afraid of our strength, poisoning the lake would be the most convenient way."
"What should we do? If we can't drink water, we'll die of thirst before we even reach the Mo family!" a team member shouted depressedly.
Qing Fan sighed, looked at Murong Xiao, and said in a somewhat flattering tone: "Madam, I saw the skill with which you killed that mercenary earlier, and I felt that you should know something about poison. Could you please help me check if there is any poison in this lake water?"
Receiving Qing Fan's request and the eager looks from everyone, Murong Xiao walked to the river and scooped up some lake water. Without thinking, he drank a few mouthfuls before looking up and saying, "It's not poisonous. Everyone can drink it without worry!"
Seeing Murong Xiao's actions, Qing Fan was so scared that he almost screamed. Finally, when he heard Murong Xiao say that it was not poisonous, he was relieved. He wanted to say, what if it was poisonous and you drank it?
Seeing that Murong Xiao was fine after drinking the water, everyone immediately lay down by the lake and gulped down the water. They had hardly drunk any water all day under the scorching sun, and suddenly they could drink water in big gulps, how could they not be happy.
Seeing Qing Fan's questioning look, Murong smiled and said, "Water resources in the desert are extremely scarce. Not only do we need the water here, but the people in the desert need it even more.
Water is their most precious treasure. Even if they wanted to kill us, they would not poison such a large lake. You know, even if we die,
