Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 880 Travelers in the Desert
  Deep in the desert of the Western Region, under the sky full of yellow sand, several small figures were walking slowly, and behind the team, there was also a small boat.

This group of people is the trio of Xiao Li who escaped from the Qin Army's prison.

The machine bat wing they were riding in was damaged while escaping from the Qin army's pursuit. Fortunately, they grabbed a small sand boat and successfully escaped.

However, whether it is a mechanical bat wing or a small sand boat, they all have a common problem - they cannot last.

Although Gongshujia has a black-tech gear transmission energy supply system, it cannot be applied to these two simple mechanical creations.

The mechanical bat wing can only glide for a short time depending on the wind, while the small sand boat is even more stretched and must have enough height difference to move.

In the desert, this kind of terrain is not uncommon, so the sand boat is very useful, but it cannot be used at all times.

Now, they won't be able to make it work at dawn.

However, considering that it could still be used when it was in a suitable place, they did not throw it down directly, but let Shao Yu drag it.

For Shao Yu, who was born with supernatural powers, it was not difficult to pull such a small sand boat.

But it was very hot, and my whole body was hot, as if it was on fire.

This has nothing to do with pulling things. Tianming and Xiaoli were as hot and dizzy, and even little Xiuxiu was walking unsteadily.

Among them, only Xiao Li, the incarnation of the Tears of the Goddess, was in a slightly better situation.

The high temperature made them not in the mood to think about everything that had happened before. They just wanted to hurry up and see if they could find a small oasis or something to rest.

Tianming walked in the middle of the team, shoulders slumped, head drooped, breathing heavily, and feebly asked Shao Yu behind him, "Shao Yu, is there any water?"

Shaoyu threw a water bag directly to him, and then replied weakly, "Yes, but... not much."

"Walking in this desert, the water consumption far exceeds our expectations. The dry food taken from the boat is definitely enough, but the water... I hope we can find a water source, otherwise even if we get to Loulan, we will almost have to Dehydrated.”

At this time, Xiao Li comforted the two of them and said, "Don't worry too much. There is water on the road we are walking on, and we will be back soon."

"That's great!" Tianming cheered in a feeble voice.

Then the team climbed several high sandy slopes and finally discovered the water source that Xiao Li mentioned.

A small oasis, a spring, and a few green plants.

Standing at the highest point of the sand slope and looking over, Shao Yu and Tian Ming's eyes suddenly widened.

Because there are actually several camels resident in the oasis!

There are no reins on the body, so it should be a wild camel, but this animal has a relatively docile temperament and does not hinder riding.

Finally seeing hope, the two of them suddenly surged with endless strength. In the blink of an eye, they surpassed Xiao Li and ran towards the oasis, cheering.

Xiao Li's pace couldn't help but become a little brisker, and even Xiao Xiu Xiu cheered up and no longer looked downcast.

A few people rested in the oasis, refilled their water bags, one person rode a wild camel, and hit the road again.

Although the few people who had transportation tools could not stop the scorching sun from burning in the sky, the situation was much better.

………………

It was night, under a stone wall leeward, Xiaoli and several people lit up a bonfire.

The temperature in the desert drops sharply at night. If you sleep directly on the sand without making a fire, you will easily get sick.

Several people sat in a group, some chewing dry food while drinking water. Tianming swallowed what was in his mouth, groaned comfortably, and said with emotion, "The damn sun has gone down, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Shaoyu nodded and agreed, "Yes, this desert is really not a place for humans."

"Fortunately, we came here via the Qin Army's sand boat. Otherwise, if we had walked all the way in person, half of our lives would have been lost."

Xiao Li pursed his lips and smiled, "Yeah... but the risk is not small. When we escaped during the day, the situation was really critical and we almost couldn't escape."

When Tianming heard about what happened during the day, he became even more excited and asked Shao Yu excitedly, "Shao Yu, I think you know all the masters in the day?"

Shaoyu stirred the fire a few times and replied proudly, "Of course."

"Those are all famous masters in the world, I must know something about them."

Tianming touched Shaoyu with his elbow and said, "Tell us about it."

"I know one of those people, Sword Master Gai Nie. He is the best swordsman in the world, and he is also the one who saved me in the town before."

Xiao Li also looked very interested at this time.

Although earthly matters have nothing to do with her, who would refuse to listen to some anecdotes about the world to pass the time while taking a break?

Shaoyu coughed, "Ahem, let me talk about those masters during the day."

"First of all, of course, it's the sword master you mentioned, Mr. Genie, Tianming."

"He was originally the personal bodyguard of the first emperor of the empire, Ying Zheng, and the chief swordsman of the palace. He was known as the 'Sword Master' and could be said to be the best swordsman in the world. He was also basically recognized by the world as the second master."

When Tianming heard this, he couldn't help but interjected, "I remember that the number one in the world is the Gu Xunda we met before... um..."

At the end of the conversation, because of the contradiction between Gu Xun's seniority and appearance, Tianming didn't know what to call him, so he had no choice but to leave it alone.

But the meaning has been fully stated.

Shao Yu nodded, "Yes."

Tianming asked again, "Uncle Gai Nie is the first swordsman, but the second master. Does it mean that Gu Xun... doesn't use a sword?"

This is a world dominated by swords. Not all top masters use swords, but the strongest group of people are almost all swordsmen - at least the weapons they use are swords.

Shao Yu hesitated and shook his head, "I'm not sure about this either."

"According to the information from our Xiang clan, he should have used a sword before, but in recent years no one seems to have seen him using it anymore."

"Probably because of this, Mr. Genie is considered the best swordsman in the world."

"There is no Gu Xun's sword in the sword manual, probably for this reason. It is said that it is a good magic weapon."

Tianming scratched his head and muttered strangely, "Then this person is really strange..."

Shaoyu shrugged and continued what he said before, "The other person who helped us escape, I told you before, one of the leaders of the Mo family, Snow Fairy, Senior Snow Girl."

"I don't know much about her. Her life and background are very mysterious. I only know that she has been a member of the Mo family for many years and is considered a veteran."

"She is considered to be the person with the highest martial arts skills among the six commanders of the Mo family. Even her fellow commander, Mr. Gao Jianli, who is in charge of the Seventh Water Cold Sword in the sword manual, seems to be slightly inferior to her in strength."

"Hmm... But looking at the way she was able to fight the two elders of the Yin Yang family alone today, this rumor is true."
