Chapter 201 Mysterious Caravan
The Desert of Death was so vast that it would take nearly six days to cross it normally.
Now that Qin Yun had only walked for two days, he had already encountered four Fourth Grade Desolate Beasts before even half the distance. Of course, this was also the reason why Qin Yun did not deliberately avoid them.
The members of the mercenary corps who often traveled in this desert knew which region was where desolate beasts of various species often came from. Therefore, every time they crossed this desert, they would choose to take a few more paths and bypass the territory of the Fourth Grade desolate beasts. In this way, the chances of encountering a Fourth Grade desolate beast would be greatly reduced.
But Qin Yun was different. He didn't have the slightest bit of fear and chose the shortest route.
This became the nightmare of the Fourth Grade Desolate Beasts. Under the crazy killing of Qin Yun and Xiao Bai, the two of them were all in their stomachs.
As for those Third Grade and Second Grade Desolate Beasts, Qin Yun was too lazy to make a move and was directly swallowed by Xiao Bai.
However, in the past two days, Qin Yun had discovered a problem. His appetite seemed to be much bigger than before.
Although it was still not comparable to Xiao Bai, who had the bloodline of the Heaven Swallowing Python, Qin Yun was barely full after swallowing a third of the 300-meter-long Scarlet Flame Twin-Headed Snake's body.
Qin Yun guessed that this might have something to do with him consuming the Dragon Blood Pill and possessing the Ying Long bloodline.
Of course, this change was not a bad thing for Qin Yun, but a good thing.
The reason why the bodies of desolate beasts were strong was because they were able to devour the blood energy in their food.
The more he swallowed, the more blood energy he absorbed from his flesh and blood. This was very helpful to the growth of his body. Sure enough, as Qin Yun swallowed crazily, he could feel that the blood essence in his body was also much denser.
After discovering this, Qin Yun and Xiao Bai were like crazy, crazily slaughtering those desolate beasts as food, especially those gigantic fellows, which were treated as the best ideal food by Qin Yun and the others.
However, the good times did not last long. On the third day, Qin Yun gloomily discovered that they had actually lost their way.
Earlier, he and Xiao Bai had chased after a Tier 4 Desolate Beast … the Earth Scarlet-eyed Lizard. This desolate beast's meat was very delicious, but its speed was very fast, so Qin Yun and the others chased after him for a long time.
However, after Qin Yun and the others enjoyed it for a while, they discovered that they had completely deviated from the route they had set before and lost their way.
The reason why the Desert of Death was called the Desert of Death was not just because there were a large number of Fourth Grade desolate beasts in the desert.
Another important reason was that it was a vast expanse of land. Without a single concealment, it was easy for a person to get lost when entering it. Even cultivators were no exception.
Losing his way in the Desert of Death was undoubtedly a terrifying thing.
Qin Yun looked at the vast expanse of yellow sand and felt like crying without tears.
They didn't expect that their greed would actually delay their business.
He wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave this desert, he was afraid that he would waste too much time here.
This time, he went to Greencloud City to see his sister, Liu Yanyun.
Ever since his sister was taken away, there had been no news of her, which made Qin Yun feel very uneasy.
The longer the delay, the more anxious Qin Yun became. That was why Qin Yun refused Martial Martial Marquis Bai Yun's invitation to go to the Tulong Island. He was so anxious to rush to Greencloud City.
Now that he had lost his way in the Death Desert, the six-day journey might take ten days, or even twenty days. This made Qin Yun feel like he was going berserk.
However, the heavens seemed to be looking after Qin Yun. Just as Qin Yun was about to use the Wings of the Dragon and fly quickly in one direction, he discovered that a caravan was rushing towards him from afar.
Qin Yun's face immediately revealed a joyous expression. Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yun put Xiao Bai into the Green Lotus Mark space and quickly rushed towards the caravan.
The caravans all possessed maps, so as long as they followed them, they would be able to quickly find a way out.
Qin Yun's appearance instantly attracted the attention of the caravan.
Just as Qin Yun was still a hundred meters away from the caravan, a guard dressed in a long robe who was walking at the front of the caravan suddenly shouted angrily, "Stop, who are you?"
The guards behind him pulled out their sabers and looked at Qin Yun with vigilance.
Qin Yun frowned slightly and looked at the caravan carefully. He immediately noticed that the caravan was a little strange.
There were a total of eighteen people in this caravan. Sixteen of them were guards with sabers in their hands. The strongest of them was the middle-aged man who led the caravan earlier. He was at the eighth level of the Heavenly Martial Sect, while the other fifteen were all at the fifth, sixth, and seventh level of the Heavenly Martial Sect.
Although they weren't wearing uniform armor, Qin Yun could tell at a glance that these fellows weren't mercenaries like Gu Tiejun, but rather trained cultivators.
This was because, judging from the sharp gazes in their eyes and the sabers in their hands, none of these fellows looked as messy as a loose soldier like a mercenary.
Their vigilance was extremely high. Once they discovered that something was wrong, they immediately pulled out their sabers. Even the seemingly unintentional position they were standing on was extremely exquisite.
They stood firmly in a triangle, apparently to protect the two men on horses.
The two-horned camel horse was a means of travel in the desert of this world. It could withstand the wind and sand, but also store water. Ordinary caravans would use this kind of two-horned camel horse to walk in the desert.
At this moment, a young woman and a white-haired old man were riding on a two-horned camel horse.
The young woman was wrapped tightly in a veil, revealing only her eyes. However, it could be seen that she was not old, and seemed to be only around seventeen or eighteen years old. At this moment, she was curiously looking at Qin Yun.
However, what surprised Qin Yun was that this woman had no spiritual energy and was an ordinary mortal.
Mortals appearing in this Death Desert was truly rare. Normally, even those merchants would have at least a Martial Master level cultivation. Otherwise, who would dare to risk their lives to enter this Death Desert?
As for the old man, although his hair had already turned white, he was still in high spirits. Especially his pair of eyes, which were extremely bright. At this moment, the old man was staring at Qin Yun with a pair of sharp eyes.
Qin Yun could feel that this old man's cultivation was the highest in the group, and he had actually reached the first level of the Heavenly Martial Marquis realm.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yun directly used Yi Shen to conceal his cultivation to the 1st level of the Heavenly Martial Sect. This process was only completed in an instant.
Qin Yun's soul force was extremely powerful, so before those people could probe Qin Yun's cultivation, Qin Yun had successfully concealed his cultivation.
Sure enough, when the Martial Marquis -level old man saw Qin Yun's cultivation, his originally slightly frowned brows slightly relaxed, while the faces of the guards revealed a trace of disdain.
Seeing their expressions change, Qin Yun's lips curled into an undetectable smile. What he wanted was this effect.
These people were so vigilant, obviously to protect the young woman, even the white-haired old man was no exception.
This was evident from the fact that his two-horned camel horse was always faster than a young woman's two-legged camel horse.
As for the pile of goods behind them, it was obvious that they were merely decorations.
Therefore, the lower Qin Yun's cultivation, the easier it would be for them to accept him.
