779: Chapter 779 "The Sphinx's Weakness"

Chapter 779 "The Sphinx's Weakness"

"This is the desert continent mistress you can look outside now," Jiu Wei told Li Shi Ying through the telepathy when their carriage passes through the south gate of the desert continent.1

Li Shi Ying nodded her head right after she heard what Jiu Wei said. The girl then opened the carriage window and a gust of hot wind immediately blow her face bringing a super high temperature to the carriage.

! 

"Wow...it is filled with sand everywhere!" Li Shi Ying gasped in awe when she saw a huge ocean of sand. Everywhere was really only sand and sand. She only saw a few plants like coconut tree or a palm tree, maybe a few cactuses but that's all. The desert really was the land of sand.

"Ugh so hot!" Long Ao Zhen grumbled when Li Shi Ying opened the carriage window to see the view outside. Their carriage was cool because the crab itself, controlled the temperature inside to be cool but when Li Shi Ying opened the window, the whole carriage became hot.

He felt like being stewed alive ah! 

"Ah? Sorry sorry I'll close the window now" Li Shi Ying heard Long Ao Zhen faint grumble and hurriedly closed the window. She should just look outside through the glass and not opened the window. Now it's truly hot inside! 

"It's okay I'm fine" Long Ao Zhen shook his head and sighed. Li Shi Ying acted more distant these days. She used a polite word with him and really treated him like a stranger. Just what's the keyword to break the curse?? He couldn't stay silent seeing his bunny became like this. 

"...okay then…" Li Shi Ying lowered her head and went into another deep silent. The girl didn't dare to come up with a conversation. Somehow being alone with this man inside the carriage...she felt nervous! 

Just what's wrong with her she wonders...forgetting a lot of things about this man too...and yet somehow she didn't feel depressed about it. It's as if she had truly slowly didn't recognize this man as someone close to her.

Maybe in the first place...she wasn't that close to this man? 

Seeing Li Shi Ying became silent, Long Ao Zhen could only let out another big sigh. He had to be patient...he couldn't get mad at his bunny, he shouldn't do anything to frighten her either else Li Shi Ying would suddenly really forget him completely. He didn't want that to happen! 

"We're heading to the centre of the desert continent, the sand land. The cactus grows there and it's where the Sphinx nest located too" Jiu Wei suddenly spoke breaking the awkward atmosphere in the carriage. The man decided to informed Li Shi Ying again of where they were heading to as a way to break the silence between the couple.

The desert continent was vast yet there were only a few countries there. Of course, those who come to the desert continent won't visit the countries and would go directly to the sand land where various dangerous creature live. The treasures are all located at the sand land after all.

"How long will it takes?" Li Shi Ying asked Jiu Wei through telepathy and silently feel lucky that she could talk with Jiu Wei to avoid talking with Long Ao Zhen. Somehow the atmosphere in the carriage was so awkward! 

"It should take a day but mistress, you can attach the speed talisman to this carriage so it will be able to move faster. With the speed talisman, it will only take a few hours to get to the centre of the desert continent" 

Jiu Wei asked Li Shi Ying to use her talisman so they could arrive faster. They didn't only have to deal with the beasts there they also had rivals like other cultivators go deal with. They couldn't let others get the herb faster than them right? 

The case in the pegasus country couldn't happen again! Back then they were lucky that Gu Zhong's family was the one who take it but what if it's someone they didn't know or even worse, their enemy? That would be bad, right? 

"Okay leave it to me we will arrive sooner than ever" Li Shi Ying nodded her head and began to attach a few speed talisman to the carriage so she could boost their speed a few times faster than usual.

Little did the girl know that a certain system girl also used the same method to arrived at the sand land a few hours before she did.

"Okay, so this is the sand land. Help me locate the cactus as for battling the sphinx...I want to redeem point in exchange for information of the thing sphinx hate the most" Chi Tian stretched her body and got off from the carriage right after they arrived at the entrance of the sand land.

The whole place was the same as usual, only a vast land of sand and nothing else was there but for an unknown reason, there were quite a lot of beasts roaming around the place.

This must be the sand land where the 1000 years old cactus grow at! 

"You want to redeem points? Sure. Here is the information. According to my data, unlike usual sphinx, we heard in medieval legend...this sphinx unexpectedly hate riddles! You only need to give her riddle, any kind of riddle but the harder it is, the more effective it will be against the Sphinx" 

The AI told Chi Tian the information she wanted. Truly unbelievable for a sphinx who was famous for giving riddle to be afraid of riddle!
