More than 60,000 people, plus countless camels and desert carts, formed a mighty procession stretching for ten miles. Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation; the Loulan Underground Palace was a place everyone was determined to conquer.
It takes about a month to reach the desert oasis from the starting point of the four major families. Because of the company of the four major families, walking in the desert can feel much more convenient.
First, drinking water is guaranteed; second, there is no need to worry about getting lost in the vast desert; third, people who suffer from heatstroke are accompanied by doctors.
In addition to these, when they were on the seventh day of their journey, the people in charge of observing the celestial phenomena from the four major families predicted that there might be a strong sandstorm at night, so the 60,000 people set up camp tightly behind a not-so-big rocky mountain at noon.
Sure enough, in the evening, a sandstorm arrived. The wind whipped up quicksand, lashing the desert and the tent with a roaring sound like a storm. If we hadn't found a modest rocky mountain to shelter from the storm, the tent would have been blown away.
After that successful hedging operation, everyone's trust in the four major families was significantly enhanced.
With people from the four major families leading the way and providing protection, the gold diggers had a much smoother journey.
However, due to the hostile relations between the four major families, there were many troubles along the way.
The Su family is the head of the four great families, and Young Master Su is known for his arrogance and dominance. Although Mo Ran, the eldest daughter of the Mo family, and Han Yu, the son of the Han family, are engaged, Young Master Su, who has always coveted Mo Ran's beauty, repeatedly interferes with her journey and attempts to tease her.
Han Yu was no pushover either. As the future heir of the Han family, how could he sit back and watch his fiancée being molested? Therefore, along the way, he had fought countless times with Su Lin alone.
Han Yu's martial arts is the best among the four young masters. Su Lin cannot beat him. As a vassal of the Su family, Gong Xun is the most qualified person to defeat him.
So what everyone often saw along the way was the scene of Miss Mo being teased, and the young masters of the Su family, Han family, and Gong family fighting with each other.
Sometimes, these disputes would even escalate into conflicts between the four major families, triggering small-scale physical fights. However, everyone knew that this journey had a more important purpose, and before reaching the oasis, everyone needed to rely on each other, so each group fight was able to be stopped at a certain point.
"Mr. Yu, although the road was difficult to travel on this trip, there were no major incidents, and we didn't encounter the desert gale like the one we had five days ago.
I also like to study astrology, and the departure time I chose this time is very good. Judging from the astrology, there will be no major bad weather in the next period of time.
You said before that entering the oasis is very difficult, and that most people who enter die. I wonder if we can successfully reach the oasis this time given the weather conditions?"
Qian Yeming and Murong Xiao rode a camel, leisurely at the front of the group. The Mr. Yu, whom Qian Yeming had mentioned, was the Mo family's most knowledgeable astronomical figure. He possessed a deep understanding of this desert.
What puzzled Qian Yeming was that according to the coordinates, they should be able to reach the oasis in eight days. They had been coming this far for more than twenty days. Could something unexpected happen in the remaining eight days?
And judging by the astrology, the weather should be fine for the next few days. He really wanted to know what Master Mo meant when he told them that most people who entered the oasis would "die more than survive."
