The scorching sun was high in the sky, and the sand under my feet was so hot that it felt like walking on an iron plate.

Yue Ling carried the sleeping Ye Yuan on his back and Wang Huai, whose magic power had not yet fully recovered, walking feebly on the yellow sand.

Suddenly, a scorpion the size of a tiger emerged from the ground, its sharp tail stinging into Yue Ling's back, ready to turn this prey into its own meal.

Just when the spike was about to touch Yue Ling, a sword shadow flew out from Yue Ling's back, one sword cut off the scorpion's tail stinger, and another sword passed through the chest.

The scorpion's steel-hard carapace was vulnerable to the sword shadow, and its huge body fell to the ground directly after the sword shadow flew by, turning into a corpse.

Stepping forward, Yue Ling numbly tore open the scorpion's carapace with the Green Shadow Sword and dug out the fresh meat inside.

First, he ate it himself to regain his strength, then chewed it in small bites, stuffed the minced meat into Ye Yuan's mouth, and helped her swallow it.

After finishing eating, Wang Huai helped take out the scorpion meat and put it into Najie, and then continued to move forward.

They have been living in the Western Region for almost three days.

There is very little content about the Western Region. I only know that after arriving here, my own mana seems to be restricted, and flying requires a lot of mana.

The transmission talismans could not be used, and the bells could not be used to contact Zhuang Wuwu. The group could only return to Dazhou on foot.

It's just that there is yellow sand all around, and they don't know whether their path is correct, so they can only walk aimlessly.

"So, what kind of bad thing did you do back then?" Yue Ling looked into the distance in a helpless manner.

"In order to survive, I don't want to either." Wang Huai also said weakly.

"Being with you always feels like a bunch of bad luck."

"I don't want to either."

At this time, a line appeared in the distance.

Although this line is very narrow, it is very long, like the fishing line used by immortals for fishing, falling from the clouds into the yellow sand.

After that, the line became wider and wider, flew toward Wang Huai at an extremely fast speed, and turned into a towering tornado.

Seeing this scene, Wang Huai skillfully took out the tent from the ring, called Yue Ling to enter the tent, and then cast and solidified the magic on the tent.

After everything was ready, a violent tornado swept through the tent directly and swept the tent high into the sky and sent it to an unknown place.

I hope I can be sent out of the desert this time.

Somewhere in the desert, there is a small town called Tarot.

This place used to be a desert, but an immortal came here and laid a well that always has clear water flowing out. From then on, it became a rare town in the desert.

The clear water flowing out of it can even be used to irrigate plants. The sweet and delicious corn grown here is the main food here.

Due to the availability of water and food, this place has developed into a large town. The people who manage this place are descendants of immortals. Their names are unknown, but everyone calls them Lao Ye.

"Sushta, wake up."

The young man who was resting by the farmland was shaken awake and looked at his companions next to him blankly.

He is a boy of about fifteen years old. His skin has become dark due to the sunshine here, his black hair is always dry and curly, and his green eyes are clear and wise.

Like most people here, Sushta only has one pair of shorts. Her body is a little thin due to malnutrition, and her ribs can be counted without using her hands because they are close to her skin.

In addition, he also has a sloped leg, which means he needs to take a break after working for a long time.

It took Sushta a few minutes to wake up after being shaken awake.

Looking at the girl next to him, he asked confusedly: "How long have I been asleep?"

"It's half an hour, I've calculated the time for you."

"Why don't you wake me up?"

"You look very tired."

Sushta stood up in a hurry, trying to finish her work before the supervisor arrived, and then found that the corn she was supposed to harvest had already been harvested.

The girl in front of her smiled gently: "I'll finish it for you."

"Thank you, Dana."

Sitting next to Sushta, Dana asked: "What dream did you have this time?"

"A very strange dream. I dreamed that the legendary savior turned into a meteorite and fell from the sky. He was sitting in a carriage like a house, coming with his two wives, ready to free us from hell."

"Hell?" Dana asked doubtfully, "Isn't that the place where sinners live? But we are not sinners, we live in heaven. There is water, food, and the children of immortals protecting us. We are very happy.

"

Sushta looked at Dhana, not knowing how to explain to her.

He has been dreaming about strange dreams since he was a child, and only his friend Dana knows this secret.

In the dream, he could see the scenery in the distance and people he had never seen before. The people there were wealthy and well-mannered, and their clothes were luxurious and beautiful. They were not like them, and both men and women only had a pair of shorts.

wear.

Even a high-status master may not be as good as a normal family there.

Because he can see these things, he matures much earlier than his peers, and he feels more and more that his current life is unnatural.

While Sushta was thinking about how to convey her thoughts to Dana, the supervisor came.

He walked around their farmland, nodded with satisfaction, and then walked up to Sushta.

"Kneel down."

Dana was about to step forward, but Sushta immediately stopped her and knelt in front of the overseer.

Taking off the small leather whip from his waist, the supervisor whipped Sushta's shoulder mercilessly, leaving a clear whip mark on it.

The salt-soaked whip hit his body, giving him a feeling like a branding iron.

Gritting her teeth, Sushta whispered: "Thank you, sir."

Whenever the whip falls, Sushta has to grit her teeth and say in the most pious way: "Thank you, sir."

After ten lashes, the supervisor put the whip away with satisfaction and said kindly to Sushta: "You did a good job, Sushta, you are as pious as ever. Your piety will definitely move the master and make you the same in the next life."

Become the master. When the time comes, you can also raise the whip and spread the glory of the master like me."

Looking at Dana on the side, the supervisor’s eyes wandered over her body, then he licked the corner of his mouth and said, “Dana, you are already fifteen years old, right?”

"Yes, Mr. Foreman."

"Then, it's time for you to devote yourself to the great master. Don't worry, your dedication will touch the real immortal and make you the princess of my family."

Dana watched the overseer leave with excitement, turned around and pulled her partner and shouted: "Did you hear that, Sushta, I finally have a chance to sacrifice myself! Sushta, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Sushta's hands and feet were cold, and Dana was trembling continuously. It took a long time to squeeze out a few words from her mouth: "Run away!"

"Why should I run away?"

"Don't sacrifice yourself, don't! Run away!"

"Sushta?"

Grabbing Dana, Sushta limped towards the outskirts of the town and rushed to the town's only road leading to the outside world.

Pointing to the distance, Sushta said to Dana: "Believe me, run away, keep going forward, and don't come back. Occasionally there will be merchants coming there. I have seen it, which means there must be someone there! Leave here, never

return!"

"how about you?"

"My feet are weak and will become a burden for you." Sushta said decisively, "Remember what I said, the savior will come from the sky, and he and his wife will take us out of hell. If you see such a person

, just follow them.”

After finishing speaking, he found that Dana had not taken action yet. Sushta pushed Dana hard on the back, pointed into the distance and shouted: "Run, go! Dana, never come back!"

Dana then nodded and ran towards the distance with her strong legs.

Watching his friend go away, Sushta just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a voice behind him: "Sushta, you have disappointed me."

Before he could turn his head, he felt various blows on his head. The violent impact caused him to fall to the ground, and blood burst out from the wounds.

The supervisor behind him shook the blood on the stick in disgust and muttered in a low voice, "The blood of untouchables is so disgusting."

Putting away the stick, he looked at Dana, who had turned into a small black dot, and smiled softly.

After blowing a whistle, several strong young men of the same age came over, looked at the black dots that were still getting smaller and said: "Another one escaped."

"Yeah, let's do the same as before, catch up and have a bonfire feast."

"Haha, the food is still ready, I like it."

After patching up Sushta's head, several young people jumped on the only white horse in the town and hurried towards the place where Dana left.

This desert is unobstructed, with only one path leading into the distance.

In the long yellow sand, Dana kept running.

She didn't know why Sushta asked her to escape.

But she knew that Sushta must be right.

Sushta was smarter and wiser than her. The goddess of wisdom left tears on his eyes when he was born, so that Sushta would not make mistakes.
