C176 The Northern Desert Was a Dangerous Place

"I didn't expect the customs here to be so strange" Qing Loongcang looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the carriage and said.

"The customs are usually influenced by the environment. It's not strange to have such customs. However, don't think too highly of human lives. " Ye Xiaotian's gaze fell on a place not far away.

Qing Loongcang also followed his gaze and saw a twenty feet long sand crocodile swaggering in front of him. Behind him was a barefoot man with long hair. He lowered his head and appeared very humble.

The people in front immediately made way for the sand crocodile. Then, they watched the sand crocodile leave with pious expressions.

"Pitiful. " Ye Xiaotian lowered the curtain and said.

The carriage went on for a while before it stopped. Ye Xiaotian and Qing Loongcang got off the carriage. Before they could stand on their feet, a gust of wind blew past them and almost blinded them.

This was a simple station. Ye Xiaotian and Qing Loongcang were arranged to stay here.

As soon as they walked in, the boss of the station came out to welcome them. He said with a smile on his face: "Welcome, my lords. "

Ye Xiaotian looked at him and said in surprise, "I didn't expect the Heaven Seeking Sect to have spies here. "

"Hehe, you're too polite, my lord. The Heaven Seeking Sect will be wherever the Bright Moon Tavern is. Mister has informed me of your intention. Please excuse me for a moment. " As he spoke, the boss gestured for the two of them to sit down.

Ye Xiaotian and Qing Loongcang found a random table and sat down. The boss poured a cup of tea for the two of them and left in a hurry.

When he returned, he had an extra beast skin in his hand. The boss opened the beast skin. Ye Xiaotian and Qing Loongcang only knew that it was a topographic map. There were many lines drawn on the map, but Ye Xiaotian and Qing Loongcang could not figure it out.

"Both of you, this is the summary map of the Mobei. Actually, the Mobei is extremely vast, comparable to the Central Plains. However, most of them are deserts, and they lack water sources. Sand and sand filled the sky, and there was also a nightmarish sandstorm. These lines were the direction in which they were heading. As long as we follow the direction we're pointing at, we'll be safe and sound. " The boss pointed at the beast skin and said.

Only then did Ye Xiaotian hear most of it, but he asked, puzzled. "Aren't we here to save Lee Qiusuo?"

"That's right. Lee Qiusuo's father is the number one saber in Mobei, Litian Hen. His father hated evil, and his reputation spread far and wide. Many people respected him. A group of people had also gathered under him, and they were known as the Desert Wolves of Mobei. They were mainly escorting merchant caravans, which had attracted the hatred of many local powers. However, due to his reputation, no one dared to resist him. It was a pity that a hero of his generation had died in the hands of the Bright Moon Tavern. It was said that the Bright Moon Tavern had sent three hall masters and a Branch Leader to kill him, and his men were also injured or killed. Lee Qiusuo was the only one who managed to protect the Desert Wolf in Mobei, and he was searching for traces of the Bright Moon Tavern. He wanted to take revenge for his father. He didn't expect that the Bright Moon Tavern would appear in the Pugilistic World not long after, and conquer the land of Mobei with ease. He would become the City Lord on his own. The Bright Moon Tavern had a total of three division in the Mobei, and each hall master was in charge of two cities. Those people from before also immediately acted according to the situation. All of them pointed their spearheads at Lee Qiusuo, and Lee Qiusuo didn't forget to kill his father. He led his men and waited for an opportunity to attack the division of the Bright Moon Tavern. With these two factors intersecting, the Bright Moon Tavern began to hunt down Lee Qiusuo. Two days ago. . . There was a rumor that Lee Qiusuo was heavily injured by the Bright Moon Tavern's ambush. There was no news of him during these two days. " The boss explained to Ye Xiaotian in detail.

"What about here?" Qing Loongcang asked in a deep voice.

"This is Desert City. Just like its name, it is a place that must be passed through to enter the Mobei. There is a division in the Bright Moon Tavern. " The owner of the station said.

"Since we've encountered it, we might as well eradicate it. " Qing Loongcang suggested.

"Calm down, both of you. It will be the time for the sacrificial ceremony in two days. That will be the best time for us to make a move. " The boss of the station stopped them.

"Why is it the best time to make a move during the sacrificial ceremony?" Ye Xiaotian asked, puzzled.

"The two of you might not know, but the Bright Moon Tavern has been in Mobei for some time now. They don't know much about other things, but they are very familiar with the matter of the sand crocodiles. In particular, they mentioned the rule of using humans as the temple during the sacrificial ceremony. Every time, they would choose a living person for the Crocodile God to enjoy. That is when the guards are the most relaxed, and the Hall Master will also appear to watch. " The owner of the station explained.

Ye Xiaotian and Qing Loongcang's expressions did not look too good when they heard that. Ye Xiaotian said fiercely, "Such a vicious plan was actually used for entertainment!"

"That's right. In the past, we were only worshipping cattle and sheep. Now, everyone is in a state of panic. Everyone is afraid. " The boss of the station also voiced his approval.

"Alright. We will act in two days and eradicate the Bright Moon Tavern!" Ye Xiaotian had already made up his mind and spoke.

This matter had already been decided. Let's not talk about it for now.

"Both of you, this Lee Qiusuo has been living in the desert ever since he was young. He was like a fish in water in the desert, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to escape from the Bright Moon Tavern's pursuit many times. If he wanted to find him. . . It has to be someone who knows the desert as well. Please follow me to see a person, this person will definitely be able to help you two. Only, this person's temperament is strange, it would be best if he could be persuaded. If you can't convince him, you can only spend some money to hire a few guides. " The boss of the station said.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you. " Ye Xiaotian gestured for the boss to lead the way.

The boss led Ye Xiaotian and Ye Xiaotian out of the station and walked along the street to a shabby thatched cottage.

"This is the place. " After the boss stood still, he knocked on the door that had a few holes in it.

"Come in. " A heavy voice came from the room.

The owner of the room pushed the door open and entered with Ye Xiaotian and the old man. They saw an old man lying on a wooden bed, wrapped in a cotton jacket. He had a goatee, and his spirit was weak.

"Where did you come from?" The old man saw Ye Xiaotian and Qing Loongcang's clothes and knew they were not locals. He asked.

"Sabah, these are my two friends. If you want to enter the desert, I hope you can be their guide. This is half. Give the other half to them after the matter is done. " The boss of the station took out a gold ingot from his pocket.

"You want me to lead the way? You know that. The last time I came out of the desert, I fell ill. I haven't recovered yet. I can't enter. I can't enter. " Sabah shook his head and said.

The owner of the station took out another gold ingot from his pocket and placed it on the table without saying a word. That Sabah clearly had some intentions, but in the end, he didn't pick it up.

"This is the highest price I can give. " The owner took out another ingot of gold from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Sabah picked up the gold and looked at it before saying, "Come and find me when you leave. I'll wait for you. "

After they made up their minds, Ye Xiaotian and the other two returned to the station.
