Chapter 347

Among them were those who had died of thirst and starvation.

Now.

Ning Chen was driving the motorhome.

With Zhang Xiaonian and a Husky along for the ride.

Racing through this desert.

Relying on the motorhome's horsepower.

Driving through the desert was very easy.

One only needed to watch out for sand dunes and areas prone to sinking.

Zhang Xiaonian pressed his head against the car window.

His eyes shining with excitement.

Letting out a series of exclamations.

Outside the window.

Besides the endless desert.

There were quite a few other things.

For instance.

Rags, plastic, water bottles, broken vehicles, sun umbrellas, and similar items.

Obviously.

Many had come here to travel.

But they dared not venture too deep.

So they stayed at the edge nearby.

Having picnics and sightseeing.

Ning Chen paid no attention to these.

Instead, he drove with complete focus.

If something went wrong with the motorhome here.

That would be trouble.

Leaving aside how to repair it, the sudden and ever-changing factors of the desert alone.

Were enough to cost a person their life.

If they encountered a sandstorm.

That would be an instant death.

Resource issues were not a worry.

To prevent running out of food.

When Ning Chen arrived here, he had already purchased ample water and food in the town.

He was wandering without a set direction, but he was not ignoring the map.

Advance preparation was mandatory.

All to prevent accidents from happening!

Driving to a relatively distant spot.

Ning Chen saw a group of people dressed in white ahead.

Beside them, camels were gnawing on cacti!

Seeing a vehicle approach, that group gathered together and waved to greet Ning Chen.

Si Shiyi gestured for him to stop.

Some even blocked the path Ning Chen was about to take.

Ning Chen did not hesitate for a second; Mengcaiyou Sect slammed the accelerator.

The motorhome, like a shooting star, left a white trail across the desert.

"Vroom vroom vroom!"

The motorhome charged straight at that group, showing no sign of slowing down.

Seeing this situation.

That group lost their footing and began running rapidly to both sides.

After a gust of fierce wind.

They watched the speeding motorhome pass by, cursing something under their breath.

Ning Chen's sudden slam of the accelerator startled Zhang Xiaonian; fortunately, he had fastened his seatbelt, otherwise, he might have been thrown to the back.

"Huff huff huff!" Zhang Xiaonian took two deep breaths, then looked at Ning Chen and asked, "Why didn't you stop? That group was calling out to us; do they have some difficulty needing our help?"

Ning Chen did not look at him, his gaze fixed tightly on the road ahead. "If we stop and get surrounded, what then?"

"There are many good people in this world, but even more bad ones."

Zhang Xiaonian paused for a moment, then thought seriously, "That seems true, but what if they really need help?"

Ning Chen hesitated slightly before saying, "Since they can gather in groups to block people in the desert and even have camels, it means there are villages in this desert too. They don't need help; they are just greedy for money."

Zhang Xiaonian asked curiously, "Do people live in the desert?"

Ning Chen affirmed, "There are indigenous people in the Arctic too, and there are oases in the desert; it is nothing strange."

"Oh!" Zhang Xiaonian pressed his head against the car window again.

The desert.

Sand and dust constantly rose up behind the wheels on both sides.

The old man called this place the Death Desert.

The deeper you go, the more you'll see a plateau.

There lies the Valley of Death and the Diyuzhi Sect.

Ning Chen stared at the car's map.

On that plateau stood Mangshan.

His destination for this journey, according to the system's instructions,

was the Hell's Eye.

Right atop Mangshan.

So.

Safely crossing this desert

is currently the most important.

At this moment, inside the live stream,

a large number of people began watching Brother Shiguang's stream.

They all speculated where Brother Shiguang was headed.

【What's going on? I haven't watched for two days, and now it's switched from ocean to desert? That's a huge leap!】

【I don't know where Brother Shiguang is going this time—could it be the Sahara Desert? I heard it's terrifying, basically a one-way trip! Could Brother Shiguang be taking us to explore it?】

【What are you thinking, guy upstairs? I've watched Brother Shiguang drive the whole way—I checked the map myself. This place is tens of thousands of miles from the Sahara Desert, and you'd have to cross countless dangers to get there. This RV could never make it!】

【Is he heading for the desert's center? Could he be planning to show us a giant sandstorm?】

【No way? A sandstorm in the desert! If you get caught in one, you'll die!】

【I recently watched a tomb-raiding movie—it said there's an ancient city underground in the desert, accessible through a desert whirlpool. I strongly suspect Brother Shiguang wants to take us to explore that city!】

【Are you crazy? That's tomb-raiding! Brother Shiguang's live-streaming—doesn't that mean he'll be immediately wanted by the police? Even if he doesn't interact with us, he wouldn't openly stream illegal acts!】

【I think Brother Shiguang is just passing through this desert, but it looks incredibly dangerous!】

【Wherever Brother Shiguang goes doesn't matter—I came to the stream for his songs. As long as he sings, that's enough. Wherever he travels is fine. Sometimes, listening to Brother Shiguang's songs while watching breathtaking scenery is truly a pleasure!】

【I feel the same as the guy upstairs! I came for the music too—it's so beautiful! Even my neighbor's old uncle was moved to tears by it!】

【There's no help for it—it's just too deeply touching. Why hasn't some big company scooped him up to build his image? That face, that backdrop, that talent—he'd be a top idol singer without a doubt!】

【Who says no one's trying to recruit him? A ton of people are trying! But he doesn't respond at all. They've used every trick—still no reply. No one can find him—he's running all over Dongnanxibei. Yesterday he was at sea, today he's in the desert, tomorrow he'll be in outer space!】

【Hahaha! No wonder it's Brother Shiguang—same style, same Qi Sect. He doesn't care about fame at all. I can tell—he just wants to travel and doesn't want to do anything else!】

As the live stream buzzed with lively discussion,

Ning Chen stared seriously at what lay ahead.

There.
