Chapter 3729

The group set off and left Blue Sand City.

Outside the city was a desert. Occasionally, one or two caravans could be seen coming from the opposite side.

Blue Sand City had become more and more lively recently because of a major discovery.

Zi Chen followed behind the second empty carriage. Yi Kang's men spread out, protecting everyone in the center.

Xiao Yu sat on the carriage, and the four guards rode on their beasts. In the entire group, only Zi Chen's group and the sword-bearing woman called Xiao Ya were walking.

Noah's gaze swept across the surroundings. Finally, he looked at Zi Chen and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

"Although these guards' realms aren't high, they've all been through hundreds of battles. They can't be underestimated."

Zi Chen lowered his voice.

"I know that Yi Kang. He's very famous in Blue Sand City. It's said that he's only a step away from the Soul Realm. He's very strong."

Seeing such a big lineup, he already knew that this escort mission wasn't that simple. Hence, he was much more cautious now.

Zi Chen nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.

The group didn't stop to rest. They only stopped to rest when it was evening.

The young lady didn't come down. Xiao Yu was serving her.

"There are still four days before we leave this place. In these few days, four of you will be on night watch. The rest will rest.

Once we leave this desert, we'll increase our vigilance. "Yi Kang instructed, his gaze sweeping past the carriage.

"Yes!"

The group of guards immediately spread out. After sending out the sentries, they also stood guard in groups of three to five.

Zi Chen's group remained in the center. However, they didn't seem to fit in with any of the groups.

At this moment, the sword-bearing woman walked over and handed Zi Chen some rations.

Zi Chen shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need. Then, he took out the food that Ted had prepared in advance.

The sword-bearing woman nodded and smiled at Zi Chen's group. She didn't say anything. Then, she walked to the side of the carriage. From where she stood, she could guard two directions.

The two old men didn't get off the carriage, nor did they eat. They remained in the carriage.

As the sky gradually darkened, Noah and Shan Ya guarded Zi Chen. Zi Chen took out the black jade piece and probed it with his Soul Power.

The scene he saw before appeared again, but this time, Zi Chen found that he was even closer to the tall figure. When the figure finished writing, he seemed to be saying something, but Zi Chen couldn't hear it clearly.

As the stroke fell, heaven and earth collapsed, and Zi Chen's consciousness returned.

His face paled slightly. He had consumed a lot of soul power, but he was quickly suppressed.

On the chariot, an old man with his eyes closed opened his eyelids, but in the end, he fell asleep again.

The night passed in silence. The next day, the group continued their journey.

The road ahead was filled with yellow sand, and the scenery was monotonous. It looked dull and boring. Occasionally, there would be a few green plants that would brighten one's eyes.

If it was Zi Chen, he could have just flown over. But now, he had to follow the team and leave on foot.

Two days had passed, and the vegetation along the way had obviously increased. The experienced Shan Ya told Zi Chen that they were almost out of the desert.

After the desert was an oasis.

The green scenery filled everyone's eyes, and everyone's mood was much better. When they were completely out of the desert and passed by a river, Yi Kang signaled for everyone to stop and rest.

The four men who rarely ate still didn't get down. They rode on the backs of the exotic beasts and guarded around the chariot.

Xiao Yu went to the river to fetch water. The woman with the sword also took out a water bottle and walked towards the river.

In this world, Soul Weapons that could store things like the Card Tower Realm were very rare.

After Zi Chen came to this world and awakened his Soul Power, it was equivalent to bringing along a Spatial Soul Weapon.

After reaching the Soul Illusionary Realm, he could already place things in this world at will.

This was also what Noah and Shan Ya had always envied.

But until now, Zi Chen hadn't been exposed. He had been eating the dry rations that Noah had brought along.

At this moment, seeing Little Mute go to fetch water, Zi Chen also walked forward.

After three days of observation, he found that among the group, only Little Mute was easier to talk to. He didn't have any ill intentions towards them.

He wanted to find out some information.

Little Mute heard footsteps beside her. She turned her head and saw Zi Chen.

Zi Chen smiled slightly and came to Little Mute's side. He said, "I'm Zi Chen. How should I address you?"

Little Mute was stunned at first, then her face turned red. She pointed at her mouth and shook her head at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. It was actually a mute girl.

"Why don't you take a look at your own status? You still have ideas about Little Mute?"

Just as Zi Chen was slightly stunned, the maid Little Yu's harsh voice sounded out. "Although Little Mute doesn't know how to speak, she grew up together with Young Miss. The two of them are like sisters. How could a bumpkin like you be associated with her?"

Xiao Yu's voice was very loud and attracted many gazes.

For a moment, everyone's gazes towards Zi Chen became strange.

Hearing this, Yi Kang looked at Little Mute with a hint of surprise in his eyes. It was actually a beautiful girl who couldn't speak. What a pity.

He suddenly thought of a rumor he had heard. It was said that some large clans would find children similar to their age after the birth of a direct descendant. They would groom them from young and grow up with them. They would protect them closely, like soldiers of sacrifice.

In order to keep certain secrets, they would often lose the ability to speak at a young age and become mute.

Could it be that this mute girl in front of him had a similar identity?

"You're really a toad lusting after a swan."

Loud laughter came from not far away. It was the mockery of the armored guards.

Zi Chen, who had come back to his senses, glanced at Xiao Yu. She raised her head and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes like a proud peacock.

Zi Chen didn't quarrel with this maid who had been very rude and unreasonable all the way. Because she was arrogant and unreasonable, it was almost impossible to win an argument.

He looked at Little Mute again. She shook her head at Zi Chen with an apologetic expression.

Zi Chen nodded with a smile and then bent down to drink water. He didn't say anything else.

This was just a small interlude. Everyone mocked Zi Chen for a while, but after realizing that Zi Chen didn't have any reaction, they all lost interest.

Zi Chen got up and realized that Little Mute was still standing beside him, as if she was waiting for him.

"Let's go."

Zi Chen hung the water bottle at his waist and said indifferently. He didn't deliberately avoid arousing suspicion.

After taking a few steps, his expression suddenly changed and he looked to the side.

There was a forest over two hundred feet away from here.

"Be careful, enemy attack!"

Yi Kang's voice suddenly sounded.

At this moment, Zi Chen grabbed Little Mute and the two of them rushed to the ground in front of them.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

…

The sound of air breaking suddenly sounded. Countless black arrows flew in their direction and instantly flooded the place where the two of them were standing.

In fact, it wasn't just here. There were arrows constantly falling from other directions.

Zi Chen quietly looked up and saw the arrows falling to the ground. His expression changed again.

The tips of the arrows were tied with Holy Talismans. At this moment, these Holy Talismans began to glow and had been activated.
