Chapter 52: The Wind and Sand of Shurima

"Is that really good? I was a little scared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"It's okay, it's a little painful at first, but when you get used to it, you'll be comfortable."

"Ahh It's bleeding! ”

"Bleeding is inevitable, bear with it."

"Is it much better now?"

"Well, it's sour. Whew~"

……

After a night of hard work, Kazami Yuka finally tattooed the sun meridian she had mastered on Gong Shangyu's chest. (Refer to the tattoo of the big snake in The King of Fighters)

This is the greatest help that Kazami Yuka can give to him now after knowing that Gong Shangyu is going to return to the Sage Continent.

The Sun Meridian is a special formation created by Kazami Yuka according to its own attributes, a formation that can be engraved on the body of living beings. Its function is to allow Gong Shangyu to obtain energy from the sun's rays, and then reduce the intake of food. It's like plants getting energy through photosynthesis.

Of course, the role of the sun meridian is not only this, it can also increase the energy of the fire attribute, such as Gong Shangyu's dragon mana. The most terrifying use is that a trick called "Heavenly God Descends to Earth", the specific Gong Shangyu has not used it very clearly. But it sounds like a pretty awesome name.

The day passed quickly, and it was time to separate again.

"Xiao Yu, you have to come back early, otherwise when I want to find you, you just wait. Hum! ”

Kazami Yuka showed a smile that made Gong Shangyu shudder, making him nod hurriedly.

"Yuka ......"

"What?!"

"No, no, no, Kazami-sama. As soon as I find two charms, I'll find a way to get back, without delay! ”

Seeing Gong Shangyu's sworn assurance, Kazami Yuka nodded with satisfaction.

But before Gong Shangyu could breathe a sigh of relief, Feng Mi Yuxiang looked at him with a vicious gaze and said, "Also, if you dare to hook up with other women outside." You know, there are some things I don't care if they are there. ”

After speaking, Feng Jian Youxiang glanced at Gong Shangyu's little brother pointedly, which made Gong Shangyu feel tight in his crotch, cold sweat flowed from the corners of his forehead, and he nodded hurriedly.

Gong Shangyu understands that Kazami Yuka can definitely do what he says!

"Hey, how long are you going to talk? If it goes on like this, I'm going to have lunch. ”

Yakumo Purple on the side was very impatient and fanned and complained.

"Then, Kazami-sama, I'm leaving."

"Wait, these sunflower seeds are for you, and they can help you recover your mana if necessary."

Kazami Yuka handed a small bag of sunflower seeds to Gong Shangyu.

After Gong Shangyu solemnly put it into the space ring, he waved goodbye to Kazami Yuka, and then quickly walked into the gap with Yakumo Zi. Because he knows that if it drags on for a long time, the sadness of parting will deepen, and who knows if Kazami Yuka will do something unexpected when the time comes.

In this endless sea of sun flowers, this small cabin is like a lonely flat boat, drifting with the current.

Kazami Yuka hid the feelings in her heart and looked back at the neat room.

She waited for him to return.

……

The yellow sand is long, the wind is howling, and as far as the eye can see, there is not the slightest green within a thousand miles.

"Sister Zi, what kind of place is this?"

Gong Shangyu turned his back to the wind and sand, and at the same time hid Mikasa in his arms, and asked Yakumo Zi with an umbrella with some confusion.

The wind and sand that blows to make people's faces hurt seems to have no effect at all, not that Yakumo Zi has a thick skin, but the wind and sand automatically deviate within a meter of her.

"This place is called the Shurima Desert, and it was once a boundless and rich steppe with a thriving empire. However, it was later destroyed in the unification war of the Sage Dynasty, and the war was fought in full swing. Life has turned this beautiful grassland into a dead desert. ”

Yakumo Zi also seemed to sigh and reminisce.

"Uh...... Shurima. What an interesting name. But I'm not going to the Church of the Sages? Sister Zi, why did you send me here? ”

When Gong Shangyu heard this familiar name, he didn't know how to complain about the complicated feelings in his heart. But at the same time, he also wondered why Yakumo didn't send him directly to the Sage-in Temple.

"Why don't you think about it without thinking about it. Didn't I send you directly to the Sage Academy, telling those sages that your background is extraordinary, so that they can take good care of you? You are being underestimated by the sages' perceptions! To make it easier for you to hide your identity, this is the closest place I can send you to the Sagehouse. ”

Yakumo Zi looked very iron-clad and hit Gong Shangyu's head with a fan.

Hearing Yakumo Zi's explanation, Gong Shangyu also felt a little embarrassed for his naivety.

"That's right, Sister Zi. So which direction should I go to the Sage's Temple? ”

"You just go north, it's about 10 days' journey. Along the way, you can come across several oases that can be easily replenished with fresh water and the like. ”

"Also, here's for you."

Saying that, Yakumo Zi handed the folding fan in his hand to Gong Shangyu: "Don't expect this folding fan to have any big effect, it's just used to locate your position." I'm not the guy who wants to keep you in captivity. As my disciples, I have to go through the experience of blood. ”

"Got it, Sister Zi."

Gong Shangyu took the folding fan very seriously and properly put it into the space ring.

"Alright, you can go slowly. I'm going back to sleep~"

Yakumo yawned and turned away from the boundless desert.

"It's not! Sister Zi! Sister Zi...... You haven't told me yet, how can I contact you to take me back to the fantasy paradise after I found the charm......"

Before Gong Shangyu finished speaking, Yakumo Zi was gone.

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."

Gong Shangyu could only shake his head helplessly and muttered to himself.

After the two siblings identified the direction, they began their journey to the Sage Temple.

……

"Miss Snow Down, from my many years of experience in the Shurima Desert, it seems that a sandstorm will soon strike. We won't be able to reach the nearest oasis in a short time, so I suggest you find a sheltered place to rest. ”

A middle-aged uncle felt the wind getting stronger and stronger, and after looking at the situation in the distance, he turned around and suggested to a young girl with a scarf around her face at the head of the camel caravan behind.

"Since Uncle Dill has said so, let's find a shelter first."

The young girl, known as Miss Snow Fall, made a decisive decision and ordered the caravan to follow the guide Dill to find a place to shelter from the wind.

Seeing that the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, people are blown away from looking at them. Fortunately, Dill has been in this place for more than 20 years and is familiar with a lot of things in this place.

Before the sandstorm arrived, a caravan of twenty or so men came to the remains of a small complex of buildings, which were supposed to be the ruins of a former village.

"Alright, let's tie up our camels and rest."

Miss Yukishita wrapped her face in a scarf, making it difficult to see her appearance, but the crisp and beautiful voice could still be judged to be a beautiful girl.

While the caravan was busy sorting out their belongings and preparing to cross the sandstorm, Miss Snow and a few people were leading a few people to probe the ruins to prevent any desert beasts from hiding.

"Anyone else?"

Miss Xuexia's strength is not weak, and before she gets closer, she notices that there are other people here.

Walking through a few broken walls, she keenly saw two figures, one large and one small, under a relatively complete wall not far away.
