1040: Chapter 1333: The Danger Lurking in the Night 1040: Chapter 1333: The Danger Lurking in the Night The incident at Jiangjing City Airport was merely a minor episode for Ye Chenfeng and his companions.
After resolving the troubles for Tang Guohua and Tang Xiaoyun, Ye Chenfeng and his group were ready to continue their journey.
However, before boarding the plane, Ye Chenfeng chatted briefly with Wang Nantian and Zeng Fengyang, assuring that father and daughter, Tang Guohua and Tang Xiaoyun, would never face any threats in Jiangjing City again and could live there peacefully.
The Desert of Death was located in the northwest of Huaxia Country.
It took over four hours to reach the nearest city to the Land of Death by plane from Jiangjing City.
For Ye Chenfeng, it was imperative to find the Heart of the Desert.
With the news that Alliance Hierarch Yan Feichen of the Heavenly Alliance was soon to break through to the Middle Stage of the Divine Level, the sense of urgency in Ye Chenfeng’s heart grew intense.
Four and a half hours later, Ye Chenfeng, Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the other two arrived safely at a city nearest to the Land of Death.
Since it was already late, they decided to stay in a hotel for the night and set out for the Desert of Death first thing the next morning.
The following day, before dawn had fully broken, Ye Chenfeng and company left the hotel and found a secluded spot where Ye Chenfeng took out a Hummer from his Space Ring.
His Space Ring was already prepared with various foods and water resources.
When they had arrived in the city the day before, Ye Chenfeng had also bought a map.
Why was this desert called the Land of Death?
Many explorers had ventured into it, and very few had come out alive.
It was almost a certainty that an ordinary person entering the Desert of Death had a nine-in-ten chance of dying.
The map in Ye Chenfeng’s hands only served to guide them to the Land of Death.
Once inside, the map was almost useless, as many areas in the Land of Death were like a labyrinth.
Two hours later.
Ye Chenfeng and his companions drove the Hummer to the edge of the Land of Death.
They couldn’t drive the vehicle into the Land of Death because many areas were like quicksand or marshes.
Once stuck, it was impossible to free oneself.
Thus, walking directly in the desert was safer, as they could react immediately to any emergencies that arose.
The weather in the Land of Death was the hottest in July and August, with daytime temperatures in the desert reaching forty to fifty degrees Celsius.
Unfortunately, it was now mid-July.
As Ye Chenfeng, Shen Mingxuan, and Lin Xinyi stepped down from the Hummer, the scorching sun overhead and the hot air rising from the sand forced them involuntarily to enhance their Soul Force to resist.
After putting the Hummer back into the Space Ring, Ye Chenfeng took out five devices to detect the Heart of the Desert.
He said, “Alright, we can enter the Land of Death now.
I looked up a lot of information about the Land of Death on the internet yesterday.
Many ruins and realms have been buried in the Land of Death, and many places are very mysterious.
The five of us must stay together at all times, and in case of unavoidable danger, we’ll be able to help each other.”
Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan, of course, didn’t oppose Ye Chenfeng’s suggestion.
After all preparations were made, Ye Chenfeng and the five of them headed into the Land of Death, holding their detectors and scanning as they walked.
The harsh environment of the Land of Death was among the world’s most extreme deserts.
Very few plants could be seen in the desert, let alone animals or water.
The Land of Death was vast.
After a day of searching and walking with no success, as the sky began to darken, Ye Chenfeng and the others arrived at a remaining stone wall.
This wall must have been part of some construction buried in the desert; now only a wall over a meter high remained.
Ye Chenfeng decided to rest behind this wall for the night and continue searching for the Heart of the Desert the next day.
The temperature difference between day and night in the Land of Death was enormous.
When night fell, the temperature dropped to the teens, making Ye Chenfeng and his companions wonder if they were still in a desert.
Ye Chenfeng walked behind the wall over a meter high and took out five tents from his Space Ring, along with a lot of firewood.
He then took out various types of raw chicken, pork, and beef.
The Space Ring had a freshness-preserving function, so these meats would not spoil inside it.
After setting up the tents, Ye Chenfeng and his companions sat in front of the campfire, roasting meat.
They looked quite content, hardly like they were in the harsh Desert of Death; it was as if they were on a barbecue camping trip!
Cheng Dahhu watched as Ye Chenfeng removed various items from his Space Ring and, while roasting meat, enviously remarked, “Chenfeng, having a Space Ring really is convenient.
At least in the Land of Death, we don’t have to worry about water and food.”
Ye Chenfeng looked at the stars in the night sky and frowned, “Today, our search in the Land of Death yielded nothing.
I’m afraid that the people from the Heavenly Alliance will also enter the Land of Death soon.
We must be extra cautious from now on.
Tonight, the five of us will take turns keeping watch.”
“No problem, I’ll take the first watch tonight,” said Shen Mingxuan without hesitation.
Ye Chenfeng nodded, “Good, after we’ve eaten, let’s get some rest earlier.
We’ll switch the watch every two hours.”
…
Under the pitch-black night sky.
At the entry point on the edge of the Land of Death.
Four figures, weary from travel, appeared.
Each man carried a backpack, presumably loaded with food and water.
These men were members of the Heavenly Alliance, and each possessed strength at the Venerable Level Middle Stage.
The four men were Kong Fei, Kong Li, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang.
Kong Fei and Kong Li were brothers, as were Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang.
They paused at the edge of the Land of Death.
Kong Fei spat and said, “This time the Alliance has sent the four of us to the Land of Death.
They promised that if we can find the Heart of the Desert, each of us can have one.
As long as our strength reaches the Venerable Level Peak, we will attain some status within the Heavenly Alliance and won’t have to take on such dangerous missions anymore.”
In both the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance and the Heavenly Alliance, only those who reached the Venerable Level Peak could truly be considered people of status.
Kong Fei’s younger brother, Kong Li, spoke up after hearing him, “I wonder if the people from the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance have already entered the Land of Death?
If we meet them here, we will inevitably have to fight.”
“There’s no need to worry about that.
The Obliterate Heavenly Alliance probably won’t send anyone stronger than the Venerable Level Middle Stage.
As long as we are careful, they are nothing to be concerned about.
I think before long, the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance will completely vanish from this world,” Bao Yutao said with a cold laugh.
“That’s right, my brother is correct.
As soon as the Alliance Hierarch breaks through to the Divine Level Middle Stage, the day of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance’s demise will come,” Bao Yuqiang quickly agreed.
“But we can’t be so sure just yet.
I’ve heard that that kid Ye Chenfeng might also enter the Land of Death.
He’s the one who made our young master suffer a setback and killed Poison Venerable Hua Guikun.
It seems like it was also him who took out the two Venerable Level Middle Stage masters from Nia Country not long ago.” Ye Chenfeng’s name was now well known within the Heavenly Alliance, and just mentioning it gave Kong Fei a sense of unease.
“Ye Chenfeng is just relying on some special corrosive liquid; his actual strength isn’t as formidable as ours.
Even if we do encounter Ye Chenfeng, we just need to be cautious and defend against it,” Bao Yutao said, furrowing his brow.
“Let’s not waste time talking here; let’s hurry into the Land of Death!” Kong Li urged.
After Kong Li’s words, Kong Fei and the others exchanged glances before sprinting into the Land of Death.
Danger was closing in through the darkness, yet Ye Chenfeng and his companions remained completely oblivious.
