Chapter 424: Bizarre Creatures, Frenzied Thieves!
"Dad, Dad, we finally made it out!"
Out of the darkness!
A person cried out in joyful surprise.
His hair was a wild, disheveled mess.
His face was covered in dust everywhere.
His eyes were bloodshot.
As if from overexertion.
A state brought on by no rest.
At this moment!
His face full of joy, he shouted toward the person beside him, equally disheveled.
A person whose clothes were tattered like a beggar's.
"Yes, Jun'er, we finally made it out!"
"We're saved!"
The two embraced and wept!
Joyful expressions immediately spread across their faces.
Looking at their two faces.
The two turned out to be a father and son who had previously fallen into the Yellow Sand Desert.
Diwu Lengyu and Diwu Junsheng.
The two walked day and night toward a single direction.
All their water was gone.
All their phantom beasts had fallen into a deep slumber.
Slowly recovering their stamina.
And the soles of their shoes had all worn through.
They had already gone three whole days without drinking water.
Their mouths were parched and their tongues dry.
Their lips were nearly cracking open.
Just as they thought they were about to die.
They finally saw a light shining in the distance.
Although they were already nearly spent of all strength.
But!
They could still make out.
That light was the light of a human torch.
Over there!
Many lights were shining.
Clearly this was a place where people lived together. "Quick, let's hurry over~!" Joyful expressions appeared on both their faces.
Then they charged toward the place bright with torches. "Go!"
The two seemed to summon the very last of the strength in their bodies.
Racing swiftly forward. "Ah!"
"Dad, it's a cliff!" A scream rang out.
The next moment!
Thud! Thud!
Two enormous sounds of impact came through! "What's happening!" At this moment!
Down below!
Came the sound of people.
They heard someone's screams.
And the sound of something hitting the ground.
Then!
They raised their torches!
And headed toward the direction of that sound.
They saw two people covered in wounds.
Their whole bodies dressed in rags, hair wild and disheveled.
Looking like beggars.
"Where… where are we!" Not long after!
Diwu Lengyu and Diwu Junsheng slowly woke up.
Seeing that each of them was safe, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, seeing the bandages wrapped around each other, and this strange cave, they grew puzzled.
Soon!
They recalled how the two of them had fallen from the cliff earlier. "You're awake?"
"What on earth happened to you two, to suffer such severe injuries?" At this moment!
Upon hearing the sound of Diwu Lengyu and Diwu Junsheng waking up.
A middle-aged man walked in from outside.
"My name is Long Wuyi, I am the chieftain of this tribe!"
"You are now inside our desert dwellers' tribe, it is very safe, please set your minds at ease!" The reason Long Wuyi had saved Fifth Lengyu and Fifth Junsheng.
On one hand was out of their desert dwellers' simple, honest nature.
On the other hand, Long Wuyi wanted to inquire about their situation.
What exactly they had run into.
This might be of help to the desert dwellers' own affairs.
Right now their situation was grim.
They could not let slip a single unusual thing.
"Chief Long?"
"Many thanks for saving us!"
Upon hearing Long Wuyi's self-introduction.
A look of shock rose on Fifth Lengyu's face.
"Father, desert dwellers — aren't those the legendary group of people!"
Likewise, after hearing Long Wuyi's self-introduction.
Fifth Junsheng too seemed to have thought of something.
At once he was filled with shock.
Desert dwellers.
According to the records.
They were a group of humans who had once come out from a place called Warm Wang Yang.
At that time.
The desert was not yet a desert.
It was a land with a scorching climate.
Trees grew in thickets.
Many strange and rare plants grew there.
Many wondrous phantom beasts also lived there.
It was only later!
