The hot air was everywhere, but the heat source was not the sun high up in the sky.
The cracked oasis and the yellow sand that filled the sky were the only things here. From time to time, a few creatures would jump out of the ground, but they could not resist the heat and would drill back in. The entire desert returned to a short period of peace, but peace was always broken.
The travel-worn figure moved with difficulty step by step. Although it was very slow, it was as if he had used all his strength. His silver robe was dyed so that the color could not be seen clearly, and his belt was missing. Even his shoes could no longer wrap around his feet that were worn beyond recognition. Only his stubborn face showed his youth's persistence!
The dry yellow sand was stirred up by the wind again and again. After which, it surged towards that thin body. Finally…He was lying down!
This was already the ninth day since Ye Qiu had left Beimang City. The previous two days had been better. The scenery along the way and the wild beasts that could be seen everywhere allowed Ye Qiu to enjoy the scenery while eating a few meals. However, along the way, there were fewer and fewer people, and the ground became more and more desolate. In the end, it was difficult to even see living things.
Ye Qiu's dry lips parted slightly as he looked in the direction of Beimang City with resentment."Old Zhang, you bastard! 'Damn it, this damn map…' Ah!"
Ye Qiu used all his strength and put his hand into his waist. After searching around, he finally found the map that Zhang Biao had given him. He threw it into the distance and let out a long sigh before closing his eyes!
This map was given to him by Zhang Biao the day before Ye Qiu left without saying goodbye. He even said with a flaunting taste,"This is something even more precious than a combat skill. I had to search through the library to find it. In this world where one can enter a dead end if one is not careful, it will be difficult to move without a map. Everyone should have a share of their own... The map! It will be a must-have item for you when you travel at home!”。
Zhang Biao's words weren't false at all. Ye Qiu followed the route on the map all the way north and never missed it. However, this map was only 300 miles away from Beimang territory. After that, it was muddy and countless blind roads. After many attempts to test the waters, Ye Qiu finally embarked on a road of no return…Kemu Desert!
Kai Mu was a name that caused the northern lands to tremble. Even after years of exposure, Kai Mu's name had never been forgotten. Every time the name was mentioned, it would make the people of the Northern Territory tremble in fear. If Ling Tian was the god of the Northern Xuan Empire, then it would not be an exaggeration to call Kai Mu the god of the entire Northern Territory.
Among the three empires in the north, Beixuan, God-down, and Ice Soul were of the same origin a thousand years ago. They were called the Northern Rage Empire and also the Kingdom of Heaven!
Except for the residences of a few weak tribes, the entire Northern Region was practically the territory of the North Wrath. The power of the empire was like a hand that covered the sky, covering the land of the north and firmly pulling the lifeline of the people of the north. If it was not for an even more special existence, the Emperor of the North Wrath at that time would have made the entire Forbidden Sky Continent his territory.
If the Northern Wrath Empire had followed the normal path, it was not impossible for it to be passed down for thousands of years, or even longer. However, such a huge country was wiped out from the long river of history a thousand years ago. The originally vast country was divided up into a miserable state. The flames of war that spread everywhere devastated the lives of the people in the North. The lives of the people fell like wheat in the sea of blood. It was an era that made people cry, an era that did not see the light of day!
When everything was about to settle down, it was already several years later. The rise of the three empires was as unrestrained as a tornado. The originally chaotic hundred countries were swallowed up one after another. The endless war was finally coming to an end. However, the bargaining chip to stop the war was an even more intense battle…The Battle of Furious City!
Before this, everyone thought that the destruction of the North Wrath Empire was caused by a natural disaster. It was the ambition of the North Wrath Emperor that had crossed the border. It was because the North Wrath Army, which even the gods were jealous of, was too dazzling that it led to the Heavenly Punishment of the North Wrath. However, it was not until the day of the Battle of Rage City that the fuse of " Heavenly Punishment " slowly appeared.
Nu City was once the capital of the Northern Wrath Empire.
However, on the day of the Battle of Rage City, the prosperity of the past had faded. The piles of broken limbs became the only main theme. Blood gathered into a river called the Nu River, which ran through more than half of the Northern Region.
The blood of the Nu River reflected the faces of thousands of soldiers. There were more than a million soldiers from the three empires, but their deaths were not caused by the enemy's spear. Almost at the same time, they did not even dare to resist before they were taken away by a strange light. When their heads fell to the ground, the unwilling soldiers finally caught sight of the source of the light. It was a figure that was as big as a mountain, but it was extremely blurry.
Whether it was intentional or not, there were still many survivors. However, these people no longer had the courage to pick up the weapons that had fallen to the ground. Their trembling legs seemed to have become a burden. Running away was their only choice!
The disaster did not stop. As they ran, the strange scene kept repeating. Their companions around them were petrified for some reason. The stone statues quickly cracked and finally scattered in the air, becoming a pile of yellow sand in this world. Every time the wind blew, these warriors felt as if their hearts were stabbed. This was a kind reminder from their companions, a reminder... Don't turn back!
When everything calmed down, some brave survivors dared to turn their heads. However, the shocking scene was branded in their memories for the rest of their lives. The huge City of Rage was directly razed to the ground, and the buildings that stood in the world disappeared forever. A desolate yellow sand occupied the entire place. Every time a sandstorm passed, the place would have an additional layer. As time passed…The Kemu Desert had already spread to the point where it was difficult to pass through.
"It's over?" Ye Qiu frowned. He held the chicken drumstick in one hand and pointed at the old man in front of him with the other. He shouted,"Damn old man! You took a hundred gold coins from me and told me this? I just f * cking asked where this place is, and you're talking about this? What do you mean by Kemu or not? Yours Truly wanted to know how to get to the Great Snow Mountain. you... Profiteer! Calling you a profiteer is still flattering you!”
"It's not over yet. When these warriors rushed out of the City of Wrath, that god-like giant figure said something earth-shattering! Do you want to know what he said?" When Luo Xiu, who was dressed like a businessman, said this, he didn't notice Ye Qiu, whose eyes were spitting fire. He was very gentlemanly as he tidied up his unwrinkled collar.
Resisting the urge to hit him, Ye Qiu gritted his teeth and asked with an unfriendly expression,"What did he say?"
Although Ye Qiu's words were exceptionally cold, Luo Xiu didn't seem to feel it. It was as if he knew that Ye Qiu would ask this question. Luo Xiu placed his hands behind his back, looking like a wise man."This is just the beginning. How can millions of living beings make up for Kai Mu's anger? Little beggar, you... I'll say it!"
Clutching his forehead, which was still growing and bleeding, Luo Xiu jumped up without caring about his image. He ignored Ye Qiu's surprised gaze and ran into the distance like a wild horse that had escaped. This speed could be called "extremely fast". In a few breaths, he disappeared without a trace.
"Not bad! Unfortunately, he was a liar, a liar! Damn liar!" Ye Qiu raised his head and sighed, but there was nothing he could do!
Counting today, it was already Ye Qiu's 16th day in the Kaimu Desert. The 16 days of running in the desert had made Ye Qiu even more miserable. Other than a few important parts, almost his entire body was exposed to the scorching sun. His sunburned skin was like a snake shedding its skin, and waves of burning pain came from the burned parts.
The pain reminded Ye Qiu at all times, allowing him to live with difficulty until now. He could still hold on in the desert without water, but without strength, even the thought of holding on became blurry. If it wasn't for the black-hearted merchant Luo Xiu, Ye Qiu would have been in despair.
He had seen black people, but he had never seen anything darker than Luo Xiu. A water bag cost 200 gold coins, half a catty of beef cost 380 gold coins, and three chicken drumsticks cost Ye Qiu more than 700 gold coins after bargaining. Even the last of his family fortune was used as a fee for asking for directions.
Of course, it wasn't as if he had gained nothing. At least he knew that this was the Kaimu Desert…The former capital of the North Region!
