Mr. Yu looked at the sunny sky, but his brows did not relax at all.
"Mr. Ye, you don't know that the oasis in the Gota Desert is very strange. My son died on the way to the oasis."
"Oh? How strange?"
"The deeper you go into the desert, the less rain there is. How do you think such a large oasis appeared, Mr. Ye? My ancestors have lived in this Gota Desert for generations. My great-grandfather said that this oasis seemed to have formed overnight, growing there in a very strange way."
Murong Xiao frowned and asked, "Mr. Yu, are you saying that this oasis suddenly appeared in the desert? Has anyone seen it with their own eyes?"
"Even if I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's almost the same. Although the depths of the desert are uninhabited, there have always been explorers who have wanted to conquer this desert and go deep into it.
Originally, there was nothing strange about this desert. Although few of the expedition members who went deep into the desert came out alive or returned along the way, at least those who were able to come out did not find anything strange in it.
Until one day a hundred years ago, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the depths of the desert. A black cloud lingered above and did not retreat for a long time. Even we in the family could clearly see the black cloud.
After the black clouds dispersed, groups of people went there to investigate what had happened. However, the first group never returned. Later, more than a dozen groups of people went there, but none of them returned.
After that, everyone formed an alliance, and that time, more than 10,000 people went together. They happened to meet a child who had collapsed in the desert due to lack of water. He said there was a large oasis there, and he had picked many precious herbs from the oasis. These herbs brought the child's mother back to life.
Later, people from the desert continued to travel to this oasis. Some of these people had lived there for years and were very familiar with it, while others were gold diggers and had great martial arts skills. However, those who returned were always rare, and most of them died in that strange oasis.
"In other words, even if the sky shows that it will be sunny in the next few days, as long as you walk near the oasis, you may encounter accidents?" Murong Xiao asked in surprise.
"Based on the decades of experience of my four major families, this is indeed the case."
"Ming, what do you think about this matter?" After the two of them rode camels to a place a little further away from the crowd, Murong Xiao asked in a low voice with a frown.
"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on."
“…”
Qian Yeming's words left Murong Xiao at a loss for words. After experiencing that prosperous era and traveling to this one, and especially after being reborn in this era, she felt that everything should be under her control.
Unexpectedly, her encounter with Xiao Tao during her search for the Spirit Root Grass in Wanling Mountain completely overturned her understanding of the world. She had thought such a strange encounter was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but she never knew that even the Gota Desert could hold a supernatural presence.
"Why is your world so fantastic?" Murong Xiao finally couldn't help but complain.
Qian Yeming sighed helplessly and responded, "I've never encountered this before, but since you and your pet appeared, I won't be too surprised no matter how many fantasy stories there are."
