After Chu Chou helped the deceased's grandson Li Fufeng and the woman he loved to hold a wedding, he left with Zhao Zhishui.

Because he didn't need to worry about the next situation - Tao Yan decided to follow Li Fufeng to walk the rivers and lakes. Before leaving, Li Fufeng received some guidance from Chu Chou. Li Fufeng's qualifications are not bad in Chu Chou's opinion, inheriting the talent of his grandfather Li Yu, he can go to the realm of the upper three grades, but whether he can go smoothly and finally get to that situation depends on Li Fufeng's own creation and opportunities.

After saying goodbye, Chu Chou had no nostalgia, after all, the old man had passed away, and what he should have done was done.

Chu Chou continued to take Zhao Zhishui to walk the rivers and lakes, at this time Zhao Zhishui was already fifteen or sixteen years old, and her figure was getting taller and taller, and now her height was no longer inferior to that of an adult woman, even taller than a woman of average height. After all, following Chu Chou, whether she walked to towns and villages or in the wilderness, whether it was spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, she was almost never hungry.

Of course, this may also be related to her hard-working parents who have never met and have long since left the world, although she has been in Yunyumen since she can remember and has not met, but she guesses that her parents' height should not be low.

In short, now when she talks to Chu Chou, she doesn't need to raise her face hard, she only needs to raise her head slightly.

It took the two of them a year to finally approach the West Pole Empire, which is located in the middle of the West Pole.

This year, the two of them have tasted the fury of the West Pole wind and sand and the unpredictable cold and heat of the weather.

Chu Chou is okay, almost all kinds of weather and situations have been encountered, but Zhao Zhishui is different, it is the first time to experience such a harsh environment and weather, and Chu Chou still does not let her use internal force.

On the other monks of the six-rank realm, in the face of all kinds of harsh environments, they only need to exude a trace of internal force in various parts of the body, and they can not be afraid of all kinds of harsh environments, and the scorching heat and cold can't help a six-grade monk.

On this day, Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui passed through a vast desert, which was called the "Land of Death" by the people of the West Pole, which showed that its environment was terrifying and harsh.

There are many deserts in the West Pole, large and small deserts are distributed in various places in the West Pole, and the environment is only slightly better than that of the South Barbarians. And the Mosanku Desert, one of the top ten "places of death" in the West Pole, is known as the land of "nine deaths and one life", which is even more unacceptable than the environment of the Southern Barbarians.

However, the Mosanku Desert has several trade routes connecting the West Pole to the east, west, north and south. It's just that ordinary people take this path, don't even think about it! Even monks who have already entered the path of cultivation, whose physical fitness has been greatly improved, and who have already generated internal strength in their bodies, do not dare to venture into the land of death in Mosangu.

If you want to pass through this land of death, you must at least have a monk in the third-grade realm to have some confidence, and only in the face of some strong winds and sand can you have some self-protection power.

Of course, if you encounter the "Wind of Death" that occurs once in ten years or the "Great Whirlwind of Death" that occurs once in a hundred years and is even more rare and terrifying, even the middle and third-grade monks in the fourth-grade and fifth-grade realms will be swept away and will not survive.

Chu Chou bought a desert camel for Zhao Zhishui to ride, but Zhao Zhishui refused the master's kindness, saying that he wanted to walk with the master on foot, Chu Chou had to give up and use the camels to carry bags of water bags and dry food. The Mozanku Desert has a diameter of thousands of miles, and a radius of millions of miles.

Like some larger deserts, especially the Mosanku Desert, there are many things that can take people's lives, such as quicksand, storms, and sand tides. The monks who walk in it will die if they are not careful, and they will die in this uninhabited desert.

Of course, ordinary monks would not come to this kind of place of death at all, and those who passed through here were some very experienced caravans, and the trading houses behind these caravans were all time-honored trading houses with a history of thousands of years. The generations before them used their lives to open up a walkable path in the desert and lay the foundation for future generations. The younger generations are also maintaining and constantly exploring a new "road of life" from generation to generation. It can be said that the roads taken by the caravans of those time-honored commercial houses are all unique roads, which are the foundation of their trading houses.

However, even the caravans of time-honored trading houses will encounter some natural disasters that are beyond the reach of manpower when crossing some large deserts.

Old man Zhang worked in Shimen Commercial Bank when he was young, and over the years, he has grown from an unknown little person to a leader of the Shimen Commercial Bank's cargo caravan. Old man Zhang is among the many team leaders of Shimen Commercial Bank, he is considered to be old, and he is full of experience, and he has gone through most of his life, and he has not encountered irresistible natural disasters, and he has encountered a lot of small natural disasters and man-made disasters, but they have been resolved by him one by one. His prestige, even the president of the Shimen Commercial Bank had to give three points on the surface when he saw him.

This time, as usual, Old Man Zhang took a team of more than forty people, and then took those valuable goods, and began to carry the goods.

They are going to a neighboring dynasty called Du'an, where the distance in a straight line is not far, more than a thousand miles, but the Mosanku Desert has to walk hundreds of miles in the middle, which makes those younger team members very excited, because basically no one in those team members has walked through the ten "places of death" in the West Pole, but Old Man Zhang has been frowning and worried. For most of his life, he has walked through the "Land of Death" several times, and this Mosanku Desert is one of the "Land of Death" he has walked through. But then when he got older, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he recalled the "Land of Death" he had visited, and there were many circumstances that could kill him at that time, because he was young and inexperienced, he didn't see it at the time, but he saw it later.

Relying on the experience of most of his life, he came to a conclusion: Without the cultivation of immortals of the seventh rank or above the realm of the seventh rank, there is no way to guarantee that they can pass through those "places of hope" safely! There will be a very big risk every time! Even if he is lucky enough to pass this time, maybe the king of Hades will come to the door next time.

But if you want to reach the high seven-rank realm, for the vast majority of monks, how difficult is it?

It's just that this time the goods are more important, and others have more money, so Shimen Commercial Bank took this order, and let the experienced, old and steady old man Zhang personally lead the team, and the vice president of the firm personally promised Zhang that this is the last time for him to lead the team, and in the future, Zhang Lao Man can spend his old age in peace and stability, wealth and nobility.

Old man Zhang frowned at first, but after entering the Mosanku Desert, he looked calm and indifferent, so as to reassure the team members, but he was always vigilant in his heart. Those team members, before entering the Mosanku Desert, were extremely excited, and when they came in, they were all silent, although until now, not a single team member has died, but everyone knows that in this environment, people can die at any time.

In the vast desert, the dust and sand are blown by the wind, drifting with the wind on the surface of the sand, like a layer of sand mist, constantly brushing the feet and necks of the caravan members, looking extremely ethereal. In the distance, the roar of the wind rang out from time to time, as if an unknown monster was constantly hissing.

The scorching sun threw down the blazing sunlight so hard that the air was distorted. As far as the eye can see, there is not a single green thing, let alone water, not a drop! Except for some small oases in the fringe areas, it is almost impossible to see a water source in the rest of the ten "dead places".

Old man Zhang walked with the team for a while, and saw that there was a petrified stone forest in front of him, which could shade the sun, so he asked the team members to lead the camels, take the goods, and go to the stone forest to repair and continue to move forward.

Old man Zhang took a sip of the water in the kettle with chapped lips, and then squinted into the distance.

At this time, his eyes suddenly widened!

I saw a light smoke connecting the heavens and the earth in the distance, and then at a speed visible to the naked eye, it continued to thicken, and in a moment, it had become dozens of times thicker!

Old man Zhang looked at the direction of the once-in-a-century "Whirlwind of Death" that he had never seen before, but had only heard of, and his eyes widened in bitterness and despair.

Immediately, he smiled faintly, a little carefree, and said to the dozens of young members of the caravan: "Children, I'm sorry, we may be buried in this desert this time." As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged, and then faced the whirlwind of death that was getting closer and closer.

That whirlwind almost tore the heavens and the earth, and you could feel that terrifying breath from afar, that great whirlwind of death, even mixed with lightning and thunder!

Old man Zhang took a breath and said in a low voice: "If you can see such scenery, you have no regrets in life." ”
