"Their home court?" Du Xin'er asked a little puzzled:

"So what about their home field? There are only 5 or 6 little wolves on the opposite side! With the fighting power of you, sister Elida and sister Linghua in our team, can't we defeat them casually?"

Gu Xiaole spread his hands and said:

"That's right! As for hard steel, the Damascus steel knife I hold alone can probably cut them all away in less than a minute! But will they give you hard steel? This kind of Arabian wolf can walk at the speed of the desert.

They can hunt for more than 15 kilometers, and their endurance allows them to track their prey for 3 days and 3 nights without eating or drinking.

Please tell me, Miss Du, how many days can you go without eating or drinking?"

"This..." Gu Xiaole's words choked Du Xin'er to the point where she lost all her temper. However, Alida smoothed things over for her and said:

"Xiao Le A Zhu, you don't have to say that! Although this kind of desert wolf has very good endurance, we are not the ordinary herbivores on their diet. How can we be dragged to death by them so easily?"

Gu Xiaole nodded and said:

"That's right! But these guys obviously regard us as potential targets. Judging from their posture, they are probably waiting for the four of us to run out of gas before they take action!"

Du Xin'er laughed when she heard this:

"Brother Xiaole, are you being too funny? We have supplies with us, and the ruins of a large city not far ahead can definitely allow us to rest and settle down!"

"Hey..." Gu Xiaole sighed and looked at the ruins of the city in the distance and said:

"I hope it's my imagination, right? I always feel that the ruins of the city seem a bit unreliable!"

While talking, several people had almost rested. After Gu Xiaole told Du Xin'er and the others to keep an eye on the wolves behind them at all times, he took them on the journey again.

This time everyone has obviously much more energy, and their walking speed is much faster than before!

But something strange happened. After walking for nearly an hour, they still did not reach the huge ruins of the city.

And from where they are now, the distance between the ruins of the city-state does not seem to be any closer to them at all, as if they are still staying at the place where they rested an hour ago and have not moved!

Now, not only Gu Xiaole, but Du Xin'er, Alida and the giantess Linghua also began to sense that something was wrong.

Du Xin'er asked a little doubtfully:

"Brother Xiaole, although we are running to death in Wangshan, we have gone too far! And why do we feel that we have not moved at all in this hour?"

Gu Xiaole said nothing, and Alida said speculatively:

"It's indeed a bit weird. Xiaole Azhu, do you think it's possible that we haven't escaped the influence of that blood-sucking plant on us? Is it possible that we are still fighting against the wall?"

Gu Xiaole shook his head in denial and said:

"This possibility is almost impossible! We were around a relatively closed mine at that time, and that plant could affect our sensory nerves so powerfully. Now we are in the vast desert. If this guy can still control our field of vision,

Then you will really become a god!"

Du Xin'er asked with a frown on her face:

"Then, brother Xiaole, what is the reason?"

Gu Xiaole stopped, looked at the ruins of the city in the distance, then looked back at the Arabian desert wolves a few hundred meters away, thought for a moment and said:

"I heard that this kind of desert wolf has a very good tracking ability, and usually has a very clear understanding of the target they want to track. Now they know that we are planning to go to the ruins of that city-state, and they are still following us perseveringly.

Then there is only one possibility!"

Half of Gu Xiaole's words almost made Du Xin'er laugh out of anger. She nodded Gu Xiaole's head and said:

"Okay, okay! We all know that you are very thoughtful. Brother Xiaole, please stop trying to get along with us and tell us your guess!"

Gu Xiaole smiled and replied:

"This situation only shows that these desert wolves know that the ruins of the city we are going to now do not exist at all!"

His words were so shocking that all three girls were stunned.

The ruins of the city are clearly there and can be clearly seen by everyone. How could it not exist?

Du Xin'er tilted her little head and suddenly remembered something, jumped up immediately and said:

"Brother Xiaole, do you mean that we may have encountered a mirage?"

Gu Xiaole nodded and took out the map, pointed at it and said:

"The reason why Linghua's great-grandfather wanted to draw a question mark on this city mark is probably for this reason! I believe that he also saw the shadow of the city at the beginning, but he had no choice but to draw it because he never walked there.

A question mark comes out!”

"So that's it!" Elida nodded and immediately asked:

"Xiao Le A Zhu, what should we do now? If the city in front is fake, are there other destinations on the map?"

Gu Xiaole smiled comfortingly and said:

"Don't be too nervous about this. According to the records on the map, we will be able to walk out of this desert area by walking about 20 kilometers further."

"How much? 20 kilometers!" Du Xin'er almost collapsed when she heard this number.

This can't be blamed on her. Walking 20 kilometers in the desert is indeed very difficult for them.

Du Xin'er pursed her lips and complained:

"Brother Xiaole, our current speed is less than 5 kilometers an hour at most, and it is estimated that the surrounding temperature will rise in no more than 2 hours. By then, our traveling speed will only be slower. These 20 kilometers

I’m afraid we have to go until night?”

"We have to leave at night! Do you want to stay with them?" Gu Xiaole pointed to the desert wolves hundreds of meters behind him and said:

"Otherwise why are you following us because of those cunning guys? Aren't you just betting that we can't get out of this desert?"

"Me? I don't want to stay and feed the wolves!"

Upon hearing this, Du Xin'er suddenly felt energetic again, and the frustration she felt after learning that the ruins were a mirage was somewhat gone.

So the four people set off again along the direction marked on the map. Because no one wanted to stay and feed the desert wolves, the walking speed was obviously much faster than before.

As we walked, as the sun rose to its highest point in the sky, the surrounding temperature began to slowly rise.

But this time, no one, including Du Xin'er, complained. They all quickened their pace and followed Gu Xiaole forward.

After walking like this for nearly three hours, they saw a flash of green appear in the distance!

Green naturally means that there are more ground plants in front of them, which means they are about to leave this desert!

Suddenly, Du Xin'er and the giantess Linghua hugged each other happily. Alida was naturally very happy, but she found that Gu Xiaole was just watching the three of them celebrating with a smile, and there was no expression of excitement on her face at all.

"No? What is this guy thinking about?" After all, Alida has been with Gu Xiaole for a long time, and she knows this kid more or less, so she walked over and asked:

"Xiao Le A Zhu, are you hiding something from us?"

Gu Xiaole was stunned by her question, then smiled and said:

"Hiding it from you? No! Is there anything I'm hiding from you?"

When Du Xin'er heard this, she also stopped celebrating with Sister Linghua, walked over with a suspicious look on her face and asked:

"That's right! I think Sister Elida is right. Brother Xiaole must be hiding something from us! Tell me, did you already know that the city marked with a question mark on the map is just a mirage?"

Regarding this girl's questioning, Gu Xiaole admitted with a smile:

"That's right! I know it!"

Du Xin'er frowned and said:

"Then why didn't you tell us earlier and kept us walking for so long in vain!"

Gu Xiaole spread his hands and said:

"How can we say that we are walking in vain? The direction of the phantom is the direction we want to go out of the desert. I am thinking that we will have to walk sooner or later. With that phantom guiding you in front, can you still walk?

Is it faster?"

"You..." Du Xin'er was so angry at this cunning guy that she was almost speechless, but Alida was more thoughtful after all. She looked at Gu Xiaole with a smile on her lips and asked:
Chapter completed!
