C166 Ashkala Desert

Atlas fiddled with the scroll in the room. "Demon, what kind of demon would let so many experts deal with it? But how could that old Pope give me such an important thing so easily? Could it be that he already knew of my strength and deliberately gave me this hot potato? Killing someone with a borrowed knife!" Qingtian suddenly felt like he had been tricked.

"Ai! I've been hunting eagles all day, but I've been blinded by them. Amazing! As expected of the Pope, I'm secretly happy that it was in vain. But why did he ask me to bring that little burden with me?" Qingtian could not figure out the reason no matter how hard he tried. He had no choice but to open the map and study it.

This map was very detailed. It was a map of the entire Ashkala Desert. This desert was at least as big as two human empires, basically no humans had set foot in it. There were only some animals and Devil Beast that were unique to the desert. Moreover, these were not the most dangerous ones. The sandstorm that appeared from time to time was the most fatal.

There were very few places in the desert that could block the sandstorm, but there were often large-scale sandstorms. If one wasn't careful, he wouldn't know where he would be blown to. If one's luck wasn't good, they might encounter quicksand. Once they were caught in it, he might be buried forever.

However, this was only relative to ordinary people. Experts who had reached the Holy Level basically wouldn't encounter any difficulties here.

"That devil definitely didn't appear there in the beginning. It must be because the Church was afraid of causing trouble in the human countries. That's why they deliberately led him into the desolate desert. The Pope being able to keep this scroll on him at all times proves his importance. But now that he had accepted it, of course he would not just obediently help them complete the mission. Hmph! Just wait and see, Yan Zhi will not be lucky if he loses his horse." As he thought, Qingtian began to carefully read every corner of the map.

As expected of the Church's work, the entire map was drawn in great detail. Where was the water source, where was the quicksand, and where was the desert? Even the threatening Devil Beast area was clearly depicted, and there were even detailed markings at the bottom. The most important focal point was almost at the center of the desert, and it was also the most dangerous region of the desert.

The sand here was very soft, and almost every step would cause half a leg to fall down. Moreover, there was a lot of quicksand here, and if one was not careful, one might fall in. What was most difficult to accept was that this place seemed to be an eye of the wind. It was constantly windy, and it was very difficult for anyone to get close to it. On the map, only the beginning of the month and two days of the month could be entered. In the center of the eye of the wind was an even bigger quicksand. If one jumped in, they would be able to seal the demon.

"What a bumpy journey. Looks like this trip is not easy. I still have to bring a small burden. Why is the Pope so stupid to let saintess follow me to die?" Just as Qingtian was lost in his thoughts, His Highness saintess came.

She still had that timid look, as if Qingtian was the devil. "Ah, Ashlow, that, Pope asked me to come and find you. He said that he will follow you from now on." After saying that, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

"Sigh, this child, I'm not called Ah Ashlow. In the future, don't stutter like that! What do you mean by following me in the future? You can follow me when I'm looking for treasures. When you're done, come back and be your saintess." Old man, with such a little girl, what should I do if something happened to her? Qingtian had always been unable to figure out why this fellow who did not have much help wanted to go with him. Could it be that she really had the means to seal that devil alone?

That didn't seem to be the case. Qingtian shook his head and continued to look at his map. "Go back and pack up. Once you're ready, we'll leave tomorrow. Don't cry and cry with me in the future. Be careful that I'll take care of you! " As he spoke, Qingtian fiercely waved his fist. saintess was so scared that she turned around and ran out. Behind her, Houtian laughed loudly.

The Ashkala Desert was located in the southwest corner of the entire continent. As it was filled with sand everywhere, therefore, it would take about twenty days to reach the center of the desert. What was most needed here was water, but since the map had already indicated the location of the oasis... Therefore, the two of them were not lacking in water. Moreover, the Atlas Cosmos Sack contained enough food for a battalion of people to eat and drink. Even if the two of them got lost inside, they would not be troubled by food and drink for a year or so.

After a few days of travelling, Atlas brought the small tow truck across the Sirago Empire and arrived at the Ashkala Desert.

Qingtian had never seen a desert in his entire life, and the desert here was basically the same as the world he had been in before. Standing at a high place, he stepped on the soft sand and looked at the endless sand dunes in the distance. Atlas rushed over very passionately, opened his arms, and shouted at the sky, "Ah!"

After a long time, when Qingtian finished shouting, he felt that his qi and blood were flowing smoothly. However, when he turned around, he found that saintess was so scared that she squatted on the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing? Did you see something terrifying? Don't be afraid. I am by your side. If anything happens, I will protect you." As he spoke, he directly picked her up. If this scene was seen by a devout believer of light, they would definitely go and fight him to the death. The great saintess was actually picked up by this kid with his hands!

"I, I am afraid. Why are you suddenly shouting?"

"Oh! That's fine too. I'm sorry. Little sister is blaming me. In the future, when I'm expressing my feelings, I'll tell you." Qingtian had been completely defeated by her. Why was this girl so afraid of him? She didn't even see me killing people and setting fires. Didn't she just hear some things? Did she really think of him as a murderous demon king?

"Let's go, this is just the beginning. We still have a long way to go." After saying that, Qingtian put him down and walked towards the center of the desert according to the map.

Actually, Qingtian could fly with her on Ray. Not only was he fast, but he was also very fast. And can suffer a lot less. However, he really did not understand why the Pope wanted saintess to follow him, so he decided that the two of them would not be able to travel together. He carefully observed what kind of ability this girl had.

However, after a few days of observation by Qingtian, he was completely disappointed. This girl was indeed very normal to other people. The magic of light system was also not bad. Just like Maya, they were both Sacred Physiques. Moreover, her strength and level had already surpassed Maya by quite a bit. No wonder she could be saintess, but Maya was only a candidate. But why was this child so shy when he saw her? No, it should be said that he was afraid.

Back then, with Landry by her side, now that there were only the two of them, the little girl was even more afraid of Qingtian.

Looking at saintess behind him, Qingtian could not help but sigh. "Sigh! Let's take one step at a time. If it really doesn't work, then let's take a trip to get a pet!"
