Chapter 2044

The chariot wheels rolled over the yellow sand, rushed up from a sand slope, and finally landed on the yellow sand again, splashing a large amount of sand and soil.

The nearly one-meter-high chassis allowed the mechanical chariot to travel long distances in the desert without worrying about getting stuck in the loose sand.

"Brother, you are very reliable this time."

Baja sat in the passenger seat, with one wing resting outside the window.

"Very smooth, at least five more days."

Mogro became even more silent. Not only that, Su Xiao also noticed that Mogro's frequency of stripping immortal cells was higher.

In the desert, wherever the eye could see, it was full of yellow sand, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky. This monotonous environment and hot weather made people feel irritable.

Su Xiao practiced sword techniques, which could also cultivate the mind, so the desert environment didn't affect him. The only thing that could affect his mood was the Living Butcher; so far, his longest survival record was 15 seconds.

As the journey continued, Su Xiao discovered one thing: there was no clear distinction between day and night in this desert. There was a sun during the day, and at night, the sky looked like an overcast day until the sun appeared again.

Time passed in a flash. Unknowingly, Su Xiao and his group had been traveling in the desert for six days. During these six days, Su Xiao wasn't bored, but he felt that the Living Butcher was even more hateful; this guy was completely different from the Old Saint Cultivator.

At the very least, the Old Saint Cultivator had an opening line, saying "Greedy person," giving Su Xiao some preparation time, while the Living Butcher rushed up and slashed as soon as he appeared.

Once, the interval between Su Xiao's continuous challenges was too short. When he appeared in the 【Chapter of Greed】, he was met with a sword slash. That time he refreshed his record, being defeated in 0.9 seconds.

With a screech, the mechanical chariot stopped suddenly, and Mogro released the steering wheel.

"We... have arrived."

Mogro looked at the vast ocean ahead. That's right, the desert was separated by the ocean. This terrain already indicated that the climate in the nearby area had begun to be abnormal.

Su Xiao got off the chariot and came to the seaside. The fishy and salty sea breeze blew toward him. He reached his hand into the seawater, and there was nothing abnormal; this was normal seawater. After that, he just needed to cross the sea to reach his destination.

"Amu."

Su Xiao signaled Amu to freeze an ice layer to cross the sea.

"Moo."

Amu walked forward with "heavy" steps. For some reason, it had an instinctive resistance to the ocean recently.

Crack, crack, crack...

Cold ice froze. What made Su Xiao strange was that Amu froze itself in front of the cold ice, with its arms and legs able to move freely.

Su Xiao, Xiang Bubu Wang, Mogro, and the others all jumped onto the ice surface. They saw Amu take a deep breath and stretch its two large hands forward.

Boom!

Seawater splashed, and Amu pulled a large piece of ice to move at high speed.

"Really skilled..."

Baja looked at Amu's swimming posture, which was so skilled it made one's heart ache, and silently turned its head away.

The ocean area wasn't as wide as imagined, and combined with Amu's swimming speed, which was indeed fast, in less than half a day, a sea island came into view.

This island looked like a small green dot from a distance, but after getting closer, it was much larger than imagined.

The island was shaded by green trees, and the shore was a clean white beach, on which there were several rows of wooden racks hanging with fishing nets woven from vines.

"How... could there be traces of humans here?"

Mogro saw the scene on the beach, his eyes full of disbelief.

"When you came here last time, you didn't see any humans?"

Su Xiao didn't know how much Mogro knew about this island, but it shouldn't be much. From the other party's few words, Su Xiao learned that the other party was hunted down by a mortal enemy when he was young, escaped to the island by accident, and left soon after.

"At least not on the other side of the island, and it's impossible."

Mogro's tone was firm, and he became vigilant.

The ice layer docked, and Su Xiao stepped onto the beach. Baja had just flown a hundred meters high when it flapped its wings and fell.

"Cough, cough, cough... what is this smell, ugh~"

Baja began to retch. Seeing this scene, Mogro's pupils constricted. He stepped forward a few steps, grabbed a handful of sand, and stuffed it into Baja's mouth.

"Damn it, I don't eat dirt, gabalaka..."

Baja was stuffed so full it started speaking bird language. Mogro didn't care about this; he grabbed Baja with one hand and submerged Baja into the sea.

Su Xiao didn't stop him because Mogro's actions didn't trigger the ally mechanism, which meant that what the other party was doing now wasn't harming Baja.

After Baja choked on half a bellyful of seawater, Mogro slapped its back with all his might.

"Ugh!"

Baja spat out a large mouthful of seawater mixed with sand and soil. This wasn't the end; Mogro stepped directly on its back, and Baja spat out several more mouthfuls of seawater. It felt like it was about to spit out its gall bladder.

"It's fine now."

Mogro released Baja's neck, and Baja gasped for breath.

"Many, many thanks, brother."

Baja lay on the beach like a drowned rat, and in the seawater and sand it spat out, a mass of pitch-black biological tissue was squirming—it was shockingly immortal cells.

"So it can't fly into the air. It doesn't matter, you haven't been eroded."

Mogro said in a deep voice. Although his behavior was rough, it was undeniable that he had indeed saved Baja.

"How did this thing get into my stomach? I didn't feel anything at all."

Baja climbed up from the ground, looking like a drowned rat.

"Not clear for now."

Su Xiao's finger tapped on Baja's neck; there was no abnormal biological fluctuation in Baja's body anymore.

Just after arriving on this island, it told Su Xiao with its unique "enthusiasm" how dangerous the island was.

"Are you human?"

A shout came from the forest at the end of the beach. Su Xiao looked toward the sound and saw an undead.

The other party's skin was gray-white and his pupils were crimson, and unlike other undead, this undead had messy brown hair on his head, and he had reason.

"This should be considered your kin, Mogro."

Su Xiao looked at the undead in the distance. Hearing his words, Mogro's expression stiffened. If anyone else had said such a thing, they would definitely have been shot by Mogro, but unfortunately, he couldn't beat Su Xiao.

"It can't be wrong, you are human. Are there still humans alive?"

The male undead, who was wearing a leather skirt and was shirtless, ran over quickly, clearly showing no hostility.

"Who are you?"

Su Xiao didn't make a move directly. Everything on the island was unknown, and making a move rashly would cause a chain reaction.

"I am Qiya. Are other humans... all like you?"

The undead Qiya looked at Su Xiao in astonishment. Clearly, he was shocked by the average combat power of humans.

"You can understand it that way."

Su Xiao looked at the sun in the high sky. Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that the sunlight at this moment was exceptionally dazzling.

"Come with me to see the chieftain. Great, we are saved, Yababa!"

Qiya raised his arms high and knelt on the ground. That "Yababa" sounded exactly like "Hey Daddy."

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao was slightly surprised. The fact that the undead didn't rush up to attack directly was already very surprising to him. Who knew the other party would actually kneel down and call him daddy? This was too polite.

"Uh~, what an enthusiastic undead."

Baja was clearly also shocked.

Compared to the enthusiasm of this undead, Su Xiao wanted to know more about how critical the situation of the other party's tribe was that they were in such urgent need of help.
