C766 Desert of Despair
The Despair Desert was at the border zone of the Western Desert Continent and was connected to the Southern Wasteland. It occupied an area that was around the size of a dozen small states and one could imagine how big the Despair Desert was.
This was an endless desert. Waves of wild sand flew in the sky, making it difficult for one to clearly see the scene in front of them.
A bright sun shone down from the sky, scorching the sand and making the temperature much higher than other places.
A few rare Vicious Beast lived in the desert, and at any time, they could appear and take away the lives of others.
Whoever got lost in this desert would sink into endless despair, and their chance of survival would become lost.
From the Space Teleportation Array, the people arrived at the Southern Wasteland border of the Despair Desert.
All the Heaven's Pride s revealed expressions of extreme excitement as they looked at this hopeless desert.
This was the first time that many of the people present had seen such a large desert. They all had the urge to conquer this place.
However, Xiang Shaoyun was not in a hurry to let them take action. Instead, he would first station himself in the small town and understand the situation in the desert before talking about anything else.
This town was called Shahai Town, and it was the closest supply point in the direction of the Despair Desert.
There weren't many people living in this small town, and life here seemed rather poor and difficult.
There were many towns nearby, but because the desert was slowly devouring them, they were all submerged and unable to live. Many people began to live in these towns, and only a few were unwilling to leave their homeland.
Once this town was covered by the desert, it would be hard for them not to leave their homeland.
When the people of Overlord Legion entered the little town, many commoners surrounded them and begged.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please. Give me some food. I haven't eaten in days!"
"You're a good person, alright? Give me some food and water, I'm starving to death!"
"..."
All the Heaven's Pride s looked at the poor people who surrounded them. Many of them had good intentions, and were prepared to give these poor people some good food and drinks.
However, he was stopped by Zhuge Zhan Jun without mercy.
On the spot, the Heaven's Pride was unsatisfied, and refuted Zhuge Zhantian, feeling that he did not have any human feelings.
Who would have known that Ouyang Chuanqi would speak up for Zhuge Zhantian: "What Manager Zhuge said isn't wrong, we need to enter the Despair Desert, we don't even know what will happen inside, we need to ensure that we have sufficient food and water, if not, once we disperse, you guys will become like them, and will be unable to leave with water dripping, and in the end, you will all die from thirst instead of starvation."
Ouyang Chuanqi's prestige was higher, and the moment he opened his mouth, all the Heaven's Pride s did not dare to say anything.
"Alright, let's first find a place to sit, and properly investigate the situation here before we enter the desert," Xiang Shaoyun said in an attempt to smooth things over.
Soon after, they headed towards the best restaurant in the town.
The best restaurants in this place could be called shack in other cities.
It was a house made of thick soil. There were basically no air vents around, making it rather suffocating. The inside of the house was also quite messy. It was so small that it could barely fit a hundred people.
Helpless, they could only withdraw and find another place to discuss.
At this time, a teenager stood out and said, "Kampa, we don't need to find a place to settle down. As long as we send a message, we will be able to find people familiar with the desert and give them a huge reward. We are not afraid that no one will report to us about the situation here!"
"Your suggestion is not bad, then I'll leave this matter to you!" Xiang Shaoyun pondered for a moment, then asked: "What name do you want to know?"
The youth in front of him had a very delicate face. He looked like he was fifteen to sixteen years old. He wore a light blue martial uniform and a turtle shell like helmet. He had a smile on his face and two dimples.
As there were a lot of people who joined Overlord Legion, it was difficult for Xiang Shaoyun to remember their names. Since the young man in front of him dared to come forward and make a proposal, it naturally left an impression on Xiang Shaoyun.2
"Reporting to Overlord, my name is Pan Yun. I just joined the legion not long ago!" The youth replied with a bashful expression.
"Very good, everyone can speak of any ideas and suggestions in the future like how Pan Yun did. Our army is one big family, and we need everyone to help us strengthen ourselves!" Xiang Shaoyun praised.
He could feel that Pan Yun's body had a peculiar Qi, he was certain that Pan Yun was definitely not as simple as he looked, and was only at the level of his Second Grade of Dragon Entering Stage.
There were definitely a lot of people playing the pig to eat the tiger in the academy. Until the end, no one dared to say that they were the strongest Heaven's Pride.
Pan Yun brought a few people with him and quickly spread out in the town, looking for people who were familiar with the situation in the desert.
When this news was spread out, a large group of people came over and said that they understood the situation in the desert.
This caused Pan Yun and the rest to be quickly surrounded, it was extremely noisy.
Fortunately, Pan Yun was smart, he immediately threw out a few conditions, whoever could answer it, they could stay, if they could not, then leave, if not he would not be courteous.
Pan Yun's combination of use indeed had a good deterring effect, and quickly dispersed the people who wanted to take advantage of the situation, leaving three people behind.
The three of them were all martial artists, two men and one woman. One of them had the strength of an Emperor, and the other two were at the King's Realm.
The three of them were dressed in the style of the natives, they should belong to the people that had lived in this desert for a long time.
Pan Yun brought them back to report to Xiang Shaoyun, "Overlord, the three of them are extremely knowledgeable about the situation in the desert. If you have anything you need to ask, you can ask them."
Xiang Shaoyun nodded in satisfaction, then looked towards the three people and said, "Do you three know in which direction walking in this desert is the most dangerous? For example, the territories of the Vicious Beast s, or places where bandits exist, just tell us what you know, and we will not treat you unfairly! "
After he finished speaking, Xiang Shaoyun took out a few extraordinary items and waved it in front of the three.
Starlight immediately shone in the eyes of these three, as they quickly explained what they knew.
As long as they knew of the situation, they would not hide anything.
And through the words of the three of them, the people from Overlord Legion gained a deeper understanding of this desert of despair. At the same time, their hearts were no longer filled with contempt.
Originally, they thought it would be easy to take down the three thousand bandits. However, from the three people's words, they found out that the bandit groups here possessed Soul Altar Stage. Just this point alone was enough to make these Heaven's Pride s feel pressured.
They were all afraid of encountering such an existence.
