Chapter 2170: Chapter 2170: Indeed Unsafe
Yang Fengshan became excited, his eyes shining as he said, "This building looks very ancient, could it be an ancient relic?"
Bai Yi gave a wry smile, "This is not an ancient relic. I’ve been here before. This used to be an inn that provided rest for travelers. After experiencing a severe black desert storm, the inn could no longer continue operating."
An inn? Everyone’s faces showed disappointment, thinking they had easily found an ancient relic.
"Eh? What’s that? Isn’t that a white camel?"
The sharp-eyed Basen saw Bai Shan and Bai Xue crouching next to a ruined building from afar.
"Aha! I guessed it right. Bai Shan and Bai Xue indeed remember this place! Let’s go!" Old Zaji’s eyes lit up!
Bai Yi squinted his eyes, deliberately moved to the back of the group, pretending to care for the two female members at the end of the line, but in fact, he was quietly scattering some powder onto the desert sand.
This powder had a distinctive smell, which could travel several thousand meters.
...
Just ten minutes ago, the black storm had just begun to gather. Bai Shan and Bai Xue had smelled the danger and decisively changed their course, heading straight toward the location in their memory.
"Honey, where are Bai Shan and Bai Xue taking us?" Feeling a little off-course, Su Ziyan looked at Qin Yu with slight confusion.
"They’re probably trying to avoid the black storm. Trust Bai Shan and Bai Xue; they are masters of desert survival."
Qin Yu spoke very calmly. He and Su Ziyan were both masters of the Heavenly Human Realm, and moreover, his strongest battle power had reached the Quasi-Divine Realm! How could he possibly fear a mere desert?
Seeing Qin Yu so composed, Su Ziyan felt relieved.
Soon, Qin Yu saw a cluster of deserted buildings. He squinted his eyes, these buildings weren’t simple! They had managed to stand proud amidst the ravaging black storm until now!
"Look, Bai Shan and Bai Xue are indeed finding us a place to take shelter from the black storm."
Following the direction Qin Yu pointed, Su Ziyan also noticed the buildings and said with a smile, "Then let’s rest here for a while."
Qin Yu and Su Ziyan selected a sheltered spot, tied up Bai Shan and Bai Xue, and then walked into the deserted building.
Qin Yu could tell at a glance that this place used to be an inn before it was abandoned. He could vaguely see its former prosperity.
Su Ziyan frowned as the inn’s rooftop had a skylight that had already shattered, allowing sand to fall continuously. In the inn’s lobby, a sand dune three meters high had accumulated.
The lobby walls were also stained with a thick layer of sand; it was hard to make out the inn’s original form.
The only thing that had maintained its original appearance was the position of the bar.
"Honey, this place seems to be leaking both wind and sand, isn’t it a bit unsafe to rest here?"
"Hmm! Resting here is indeed not very safe. If it’s a minor black storm, it would still be manageable, but if it’s a major one, perhaps the inn might collapse, and we could be buried alive."
"What should we do then?"
"The inn should have a wine cellar or a storage room! As long as we can find the cellar or storage room, we can avoid the black storm."
Su Ziyan’s eyes lit up, she smiled and said, "The cellar or storage room should be located in the kitchen or the back hall, let’s go check there."
Su Ziyan took Qin Yu’s hand and bypassed the small sand dune in the middle of the hall, heading toward the back hall.
The doorway to the back hall was blocked with a lot of sand, but this was not a problem for Qin Yu.
