The closer the Southern Wasteland is to the south, the hotter the weather becomes. The customs here are different from those of Daqing, and it is rare to see any tall mountains. I often walked hundreds of miles, and it was full of yellow sand, and I couldn't see the slightest bulge and green.

"Whew. "A gust of wind blew and rolled up the yellow sand on the ground, turning the vast desert gray. The scorching sun in the sky was drying towards the ground, scorching the yellow sand all over the ground, and only a small number of living beings could survive here.

"Bang bang. The sand suddenly shook, and a small sand scorpion jumped out of it, and a tail hook with a violent poison poked at a bare foot.

The sand scorpion is the face of death in this desert, and many humans die under the poison of this sand scorpion every year. "Bang. The sand scorpion slammed its tail hook into that foot with all its might, but it was like hitting a large hard rock. With the sand scorpion's intelligence, of course, it couldn't figure out anything, and it was about to continue attacking the foot, but the man had disappeared in place, leaving its tail hook in the air.

Cheng Daonan looked at the sun in full bloom and narrowed his eyes slightly. After walking for more than half a month, he was already approaching the territory of the Sandstone Country. This is an endless sea of sand, the largest desert in the Southern Wilderness. The area of the entire desert is larger than that of Daqing Kingdom and Black Cloud Country combined, and it is really not an easy thing to cross here.

Although the temperature of the Endless Sand Sea is extremely high, none of this is a problem for Chengdaonan. The most inconvenient thing here is to find food, and the most common creatures in the desert are sand scorpions or some lizards, which are really hard to eat. Cheng Daonan had to prepare a lot of blood crystals before entering the sand sea to maintain his life.

"Whew. Cheng Daonan exhaled and felt a little dry in his mouth. Although he was able to lock his pores so that the moisture in his body would not pass. But after a long time, there will still be a shortage of water.

"Phew. "The golden eagle flew over the desert, and it did not dare to lower its flight, otherwise a slight flap of its wings would roll up a large amount of yellow sand. It's really annoying.

"Bell ?????" Cheng Daonan was planning to take a few quick steps to see if he could encounter an oasis or something in front of him. He heard a crisp chime, and when he looked up, he saw a long caravan slowly approaching from the distant horizon. Roughly count. I'm afraid there are nearly a hundred camels. Each camel was carrying a heavy load of goods and a fist-sized brass bell tied around its neck. As the camel's footsteps got closer and closer, the bell became more melodious.

Each camel was accompanied by a man who wrapped his head in white gauze, revealing only two eyes. This can avoid the wind and sand into the mouth and nose to the greatest extent, but also can block the scorching sun in the sky, as soon as you see them, you can know that this is what people who live in the desert all year round should be.

"Let's take a few steps, and when we get to the front, we will rest, and everyone is afraid that they are all tired. "Walking at the front of the caravan was a tall man, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but listening to the voice, he should not be young.

"It's wonderful. After walking for most of the day, I was almost exhausted. "Beside the man was followed a slightly thinner man, who sounded like a young man.

"Let's cheer up a little, the martial arts conference in the Southern Wasteland is about to start, our Hanhai caravan will definitely be able to make a good profit with this batch of goods, and when the time comes, everyone will be able to take a large amount of money home." Linzi, you are also old, and when you go home, your uncle will tell you about a family matter. The middle-aged man from earlier shouted, although the sound was quickly drowned in the sea of sand. But it still lifted the spirits of some people not far away. Especially the young man named Lin Zi, although there was some shyness on his face, his feet were a little lighter.

"Uncle, look. There was a man there. Lin Zi is young in the end, although all he sees is yellow sand, but he still can't help but look around, but he sees a figure in the distance, standing in the sea of sand, like a javelin.

"The woods. Don't be blind, the person who can walk alone in this desert must be a strong person who cultivates inner breath, and if you do this, it will be a loss of etiquette. The middle-aged man hurriedly pressed Lin Zi's arm down, which was very easy to offend people.

Lin Zi was about to complain, but suddenly his eyes shrank, and he saw the figure disappear in place, and then stopped less than fifty feet in front of him the next moment.

"It's terrifying!" Not only Lin Zi, but also the middle-aged man were stunned. Such a powerful speed, such light skills, are rare in the world, just like the legendary gods and demons.

It wasn't until Cheng Dao Nan got close that they could see Cheng Dao Nan's appearance clearly. His clothes were tattered, his feet were barefoot, and his long hair was draped behind him, hanging down to his waist. Although he has been walking in the endless sea of sand for a long time, Cheng Daonan's face does not have the slightest color of wind and dust, and it is still as warm as jade.

"So young!" Everyone was shocked again, if the body just now was placed on a middle-aged man or an old man, they would be able to understand it, but the young man in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, he was fourteen or fifteen years old. They suddenly thought of a possibility, he was not the one who came to participate in the Southern Wilderness Martial Arts Conference, in order to compete for the new Young King of the Southern Wilderness. Thinking like this, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts, not knowing what this strong man wanted to do.

"Everyone, can you ask for some water to drink?" Cheng Daonan smiled slightly and arched his hand towards the leading man. Cheng Daonan's politeness also slightly eliminated the worries in everyone's hearts. "Little brother is polite, Lin Zi, go get a bag of water. The leading man is very good at being a man, Lin Zi hurriedly took a sheepskin water bladder over, looking at the bulging appearance inside, I am afraid that it will weigh three or four catties.

"We are the Hanhai caravan of Qianyuan Kingdom, contemptible Lu Yu, little brother is here to participate in this martial arts conference?" Cheng Daonan drank water, and Lu Yu began to introduce himself.

"In Xiacheng Daonan, from Daqing Country, when I came to this Shayan Country, I naturally wanted to see the geniuses of all parties. Cheng Daonan took a sip of water, and then said slowly.

Lu Yu had such an expression on his face, "Little brother, we are also going to Shayan Country, I don't know if we can go together, and we can take care of it." Lu Yu rubbed his hands and said with some expectation. The strength of this Cheng Dao Nan is strong, and with him with him, there will be a lot less risk.

Cheng Daonan was about to refuse, "Little brother, our caravan goes back and forth between Qianyuan and Shayan, and we also know the customs of Shayan very well, and going with us can also make you less troublesome." "Lu Yu has been walking outside all the year round, and his grasp of people's hearts is very accurate. A genius like Cheng Dao Nan was so focused on his cultivation that he was absolutely afraid of being entangled in mundane things, so he said before Cheng Dao Nan refused.

"So?????? It makes sense. Cheng Daonan thought about it, so he nodded, his eyes were dark about the situation in Shayan Country, he really needed someone to help him, and it was not a bad thing to go with the Hanhai caravan.

"Hahaha, Brother Cheng, there's a small oasis in front of us in a moment, and we'll have a few drinks there. "Lu Yu is a self-acquaintance, and when he heard that Cheng Daonan was willing to go with them, he even became more affectionate.

The group continued to go deeper into the other side of the desert, Cheng Daonan didn't like to deal with people, and after a casual while, everyone fell silent again. However, the young man named Lin Zi admired Cheng Daonan very much, and would ask Cheng Daonan some questions from time to time.

After walking for about two hours, the sun slowly set in the west. The sun was no longer so hot and dazzling, and the reddened sun shone obliquely on the desert, looking vast and magnificent.

"Look, the oasis has arrived. Lin Zi was the first to jump up, and stretched out his hand to point to a large patch of green in front of him. The rest of the caravan was also excited. The oasis is both sacred and lovely for those who walk in the desert. Only the existence of oases of different sizes can support them through this long journey.

There are many wooden houses built on the oasis, and some of the people who live here are too old to walk, and some are still crawling on the ground, but everyone has a happy smile on their faces, as if this is paradise.

"Third Brother Ma, old rules, this is a box of goods, which can be regarded as my Lu Yu's filial piety to you. Lu Yu stood in front of a middle-aged man with a fierce face and unloaded the goods from a camel.

"It turned out to be Lu Yu, you old boy, you haven't been here for a few days. Third Brother Ma slapped Lu Yu on the shoulder and asked his subordinates to take down the box of goods.

Lin Zi stood beside Cheng Daonan and whispered, "This third brother Ma is a sand bandit in this area, and this oasis is their camp, as long as every passerby hands over some goods, they will not rob you, and they can freely supply some things here." ”

Cheng Daonan nodded when he heard this, not only did he not have any resistance to the sand bandits, but he agreed with their behavior. On the one hand, he lived in Heifeng Village for five years, and in the strict sense, he was also born as a bandit. On the other hand, there are no rules, there is no circle, if it weren't for this Third Brother Ma controlling this place with his strong strength, then it would not be easy for the Hanhai Chamber of Commerce to make some supplies, it can be regarded as both pros and cons.

"Oops????" A child stumbled over from the side and hit Cheng Daonan's leg. He had a red turban wrapped around his head and a wooden knife in his hand.

"Don't go, you dare to push me, I'm a big sand thief. The child immediately turned around, held his wooden knife, and slashed at the other children. Cheng Daonan saw this situation and couldn't help but smile, wasn't it the same for many children in Heifeng Village back then?

The thief who is feared in the eyes of outsiders is a big hero in their eyes. (To be continued.) )
