From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Afterwards, Siwon picked up the map, compared it with the map, and said, "We are now about 300 kilometers east of Atal, while the Atlantis ruins marked on the map are about 180 kilometers west of Atal."

"Is the straight-line distance nearly 500 kilometers?"

The hooded man was surprised. "Are you going to walk there?"

The Black girl asked, "Can you fly us there?"

"Sorry, I can't. Otherwise, why would I have brought you all down to the ground first, instead of flying directly to a populated area?"

Again:

Sending Mount Tai is as light as a mustard seed, but carrying an ordinary person is difficult to cross rivers.

If you blow a breath towards the Xun position, connecting with the energy of heaven and earth, you can lift everyone into the sky, but the lives of most ordinary people in the group will be in danger.

of course.

With Jiang Liu's current abilities, forcibly opening the nine orifices and eight meridians of ordinary people is a piece of cake. He only needs to blow a breath of innate qi into the heart and abdomen to open the whole body. With the twelve meridians as stimulation, he can make them initially understand the power of the midnight fire and have the strength of millions.

However, this way of gaining power overnight depends on a person's character. Ordinary people should never use this method. In the short term, they may think of becoming a superman and helping others, but in the long run, they will probably end up developing in the direction of "I don't eat beef".

Upon learning that they could not help ordinary people take flight, some were disappointed, while others offered encouragement.

"Don't be so sad, everyone. That's the point of adventure. If we just went straight to our destination, it would be no different from a regular picnic."

The one who spoke was Jagata, a woman who always maintained an optimistic attitude. "It's just a journey of nearly a thousand miles. It's no big deal. We are all mercenaries and explorers. We have traveled far more than a thousand miles."

"That sounds nice."

Zubo was completely unfazed by Jagta's optimism. "Even if we have plenty of food and water, what if a sandstorm hits a thousand miles of desert?"

At this point, Zu Bo suddenly turned pale, knelt on the ground, and dry-heaved, spitting out a mouthful of bitter water.

"Oh, Zubo, what's this?"

"I can't help but ask," Jagata asked with concern.

"I had a bit of a headache from the plane flipping earlier... Ever since I gained control of spatial teleportation, I've become extremely sensitive to anything that vibrates." Zubo took a breath, covered his head, and slowly got up. "Do you still have any motion sickness medication? I think I might need some."

"Oh, yes."

Yagata reached into her pocket, rummaged around for a moment, and her smile became slightly awkward. "That... I probably don't have it anymore. Maybe I lost it by accident during the skydive."

"I have one."

Jiang Liu tossed the white pill to Zu Bo.

The latter took the medicine, and his complexion immediately improved. He said, "Thank you."

"No need to be polite, we are a team now."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said to Siwon, "Jesse, lead the way. Let's go to Atal first. If what I learned in Cairo is correct, that should be a market for agricultural and livestock products and a caravan station. We might be able to rent some camels and find a real guide, since we can't really travel in a straight line."

"it is good."

Siobhan McDougall picked up the map, compared it with the map, confirmed the location and direction several times, nodded, and led the way, heading towards Atal.

And so, the group walked for nearly two days, treading on the yellow earth and facing the hot wind, until a patch of yellow and red land came into view. It was no longer a desert, but it still looked barren.

There are many jagged rocks and steep cliffs, but few low shrubs and red and green flowers and grasses.

"This is Atal?" The flat-headed magician was completely bewildered. "It doesn't look like a trading place for agricultural and livestock products at all."

“We’ve only traveled 100 kilometers, and we’re still far from Atal. Considering the situation of the ordinary people in the team, it will take at least four more days.”

Siwon estimated the time and said, "This place is an oasis, but it only turns green during the rainy season. Right now it's the dry season, so there are no flowers or plants, just a gloomy red. Let's rest here for the night."

"Alright."

Jiang Liu made the final decision.

So, the group entered the oasis and found a relatively spacious cliff cave. Lu Jin and An Ge led the group to gather firewood, while Jax and Zubo led the group to patrol and keep watch. Jin Ge, Jack, and the others prepared to hunt some wild game to enjoy. The remaining members, including Yagata, Duanmu Ying, Evelyn, Jiang Liu, and the others, were responsible for preparing dinner.

"To be honest, I felt like we were on a picnic."

Seeing Jiang Liu pull out a large pile of bottled water and food from his storage ring, Yagata laughed. Then, realizing she might have said something wrong, she quickly added, "I'm not saying this is bad. Actually, I really enjoy this kind of relaxed and enjoyable adventure, it's just..."

It's just a little different from what I imagined, but I hope everyone can complete the task successfully...

Anyway, I misspoke, just don't take it to heart, hehe.

Duanmu Ying: "......"

This guy probably doesn't know how to communicate with people at all, right?

Hey everyone!

At that moment, Jax, the man as swift as the wind, ran back to the cave, bringing with him gusts of wind and a cloud of dust that settled on the dough.

"My God! Jax! Can't you slow down a bit? You're getting the dough all dirty!"

Jagata has obsessive-compulsive disorder. "What if everyone gets sick from eating the food? We didn't find any medicine in the crashed plane!"

“You’re making a mountain out of a molehill, Jagata. Which ordinary person here would care about dust and dirt on food?”

Having said that, Jax ignored the incessant chatter of Jagata, gave Jiang Liu a perfunctory salute, and then said, "Sir, there's new information. During our patrol, we discovered a group of people entering the north side of the oasis. There are more than twenty people in ten carriages. Nine of them are loaded with rice, dried meat, and the like, and the last one is a prison cart with a young lady from a wealthy family tied up."

Without a doubt, they were all robbers!

Should we play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress?

Perhaps that young lady is the daughter of one of Atal's wealthy merchants.

Robbers and bandits were not uncommon in this era, and even in the 21st century, robbers and bandits were quite rampant in Africa.

However, since we've encountered this situation, we can't just stand by and do nothing; we have to go and find out what's going on.

If they were truly a group of thieves and bandits who made a living by robbing and plundering, they should naturally be eliminated, and the kidnapped young lady should be returned to her family...

# Chapter 728 Formulating a Rescue Plan

Are there robbers?

Upon learning of this, Lu Jin, who had returned from gathering firewood with An Ge, immediately volunteered to lead a group to investigate.

"Alright, you, Zubo, and Jin Ge, take Jack and the others with you." Jiang Liu nodded and made the personnel arrangements.

"Well, actually I can help too. As long as I can get close to them, I can definitely minimize the casualties," Yagata said timidly, taking the rag doll from her waist.

"can."

Jiang Liu stared at Yagata for a while, until she looked a little embarrassed, before agreeing, "Perhaps your ability can have an unexpected effect."

"Thank you!"

Jagata was extremely grateful to hear that she could also participate in the operation against the robbers.

"Hey, boss, can Ango and I join too?" Jax grinned. His way of addressing Jiang Liu had changed three times, from "boss" at the beginning to "commander" before, and now "boss," which shows his eccentric personality.

As for Ango, he neither spoke nor refused.

"You two are logistics personnel, but if you really want to go, that's fine too." After thinking for a moment, Jiang Liu agreed.

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission, boss!"

Jax saluted, his serious face making people chuckle—like a "comedic relief."

So, Lu Jin led Ango, Zubo, Jinge, Yagata, Jax, and the mercenaries and veterans in the team to set off.

The rest of the people stayed behind to continue preparing dinner with Jiang Liu and the others, while some of them went out to patrol.

Are they really okay?

As Duanmu Ying kneaded the dough with Tai Chi Qi, she asked Jiang Liu questions, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Jiang Liu countered, "Don't you trust Lu Jin's abilities?"

"Of course I can trust you."

In this team, Lu Jin's strength is second only to Jiang Liu. It is not difficult for him to fight against a hundred people, but he is afraid that those five "unreliable" guys will make things worse.

"Don't worry, it's just a case of overdoing it. With Lu Jin's abilities, he can handle anything except large-caliber sniper bullets or large-scale bombing."

Jiang Liu had enough confidence in Lu Jin: "If something unexpected really happens, I'll be there for you, won't I?"

"rational."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ying put aside her worries and focused on kneading the dough.

For her, using Tai Chi energy to knead dough is also a practice of using Qi energy to diagnose pulse.

Having studied modern medicine and gained a sufficient understanding of the human body, Duanmu Ying discovered that the ability of Qi (vital energy) is truly suitable for doctors to take pulses and explore every organ, tissue, and even cell level of the human body.

If we could go even further and delve into the genetic level, then by using Qi to optimize genes and combining it with human magnetism, it might be possible to unlock the genetic potential without any side effects...

···

On the cliff face, among the bushes, Lu Jin peeked out and looked down at the convoy twenty meters below in the ravine. Just as Jax had said, there were ten carriages, nine of which were loaded with rice and dried meat, and one was a prison cart with a square cage at the back containing a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, her mouth gagged with a black towel and her face covered in tears.

"That's it!"

Jax, holding his 98K, aimed at the leader and asked, "Hey boss, can I fire the first shot?"

"Wait a minute, let me confirm."

Lu Jin used his mental scanning skill to take in everything inside the ravine—

"Brother, we kidnapped the daughter of the wealthy businessman Murdoch and robbed his goods. Are we really okay?"

At the front of the line, a thin, dark-skinned man spoke to a plump, fair-skinned man, his voice tinged with timidity.

"How many times have you asked, Baben?"

The chubby man was exhausted. "Now that we've caught them, can we send them back? As the boss always says: 'You can't let a duck that's already in your mouth fly away!'"

Our boss is a wizard with divine power!

We can take from anyone, even Murdoch can't do anything to us!

We are the true masters of this desert!

And we've plundered so much rice and brought back Murdoch's daughter! The boss will be overjoyed; he might even reward us with a lot of gold! I'm already missing the cries of the city prostitutes, hehe!

Upon hearing the word "woman," the dark-skinned, thin man named Baben also showed a look of infatuation, nodding repeatedly: "You're right, Baben."
