756 Little Black Eggs Are Here, Ghost Clan Expert (1)
In the endless desert, there were a few traveled-worn carriages parked. Outside the carriage stood a few traveled-worn people.
They were the great Priest of the Ghost Clan, the white envoys, and the number one villain, Ah Wei.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the carriage was as hot as a steamer.
Yan Jiuchao could not stand the stuffy heat in the carriage and was helped out of the carriage by Shadow Six.
Shadow Thirteen considerately opened an umbrella and looked at Grandma and the others. “Didn’t you say that the Ghost Clan has beautiful mountains and clear water? Why are we in the desert?”
Shadow Thirteen did not know that it was really a beautiful place. After all, he could only see a path of bones, which was far from the Ghost Clan that Grandma and the others had described.
Shadow Six curled his lips and muttered, “I say, did you take the wrong path?”
Yue Gou said solemnly, “We won’t go wrong! Grandma is the most intelligent person in the Ghost Clan. He knows how to find the way! All these years, the clan has sent many experts to look for Madam. Only we found her. It’s the path Grandma brought us!”
Shadow Six nodded and looked at him. “Then may I ask how long you’ve been searching?”
“Not long,” Yue Gou said proudly. “Three years!”
Shadow Six : “…”
Shadow Thirteen: “…”
Yan Jiuchao: “…”
The corners of Shadow Six’s mouth twitched. “May I ask when your clan first sent out the white envoys?”
“Oh.” Yue Gou thought seriously. “When I was young.”
You’re already f*cking twenty!!!
They were simply speechless. They had heard that the Ghost Clan’s population was decreasing. So this was the truth? Were those experts who came to capture Madam Jiang all lost and could not return?
Your Ghost Clan is indeed endangered because of your strength…
The three of them could not bear to look at him. Even Yan Jiuchao covered his eyes with his hand.
Shadow Thirteen took a deep breath and asked Ah Wei, “Can your Gu worm still be used?”
Ah Wei shook his head. “No, it’s been raining heavily a few times. Their auras are gone. We can’t track them anymore.”
Thinking about it, it seemed to be true. Ever since the heavy rain, the places they passed by had become stranger and stranger. It turned out that they had gone the wrong way at that time.
Shadow Thirteen continued, “Which direction is your Ghost Clan in?”
In order to prevent them from being confused, Shadow Thirteen drew a circle on the ground as a reference.
“In this direction!” Yue Gou pointed.
“No, it should be this way.” Qing Yan pointed in a different direction.
“I think you guys are all wrong. It’s this way.” Ah Wei pointed in the third direction.
Grandma moved his fingers. Shadow Thirteen said expressionlessly, “Do you want to point in the last direction?”
Grandma nodded honestly.
Shadow Thirteen finally couldn’t help but explode. “That direction is the Great Zhou!”
The four of them : “…”
They were collectively silent.
No wonder they took three years to find Lotus Flower Village with such a bad sense of direction. In these three years, there was probably a lot of luck involved. Otherwise, they might still be lost in some nook.
Shadow Thirteen did not understand. He clearly did not know the way, so how could he still act calm and composed?!
“Don’t you have a map?” Shadow Thirteen asked.
“There used to be,” the old man said.
“What happened after that?” Shadow Thirteen asked in a deep voice.
“I forgot where I put it,” the old man whispered.
Shadow Thirteen: “…!!”
Shadow Thirteen was so angry that he lost his temper.
Old Cui stuck his head out of the window and stuck out his tongue. “How are we going to get there? If we don’t leave now, we’ll die of heat!”
Shadow Thirteen had a headache. He held his forehead and turned to look at Yan Jiuchao. “Young Master, it’s getting late. Let’s settle down for the night and think of a way tomorrow morning.”
Yan Jiuchao nodded.
Shadow Thirteen said to Shadow Six, “Go get some ice for Young Master.”
These ice cubes were naturally not real ice, but jade soaked in the juice of mint leaves. They were cool to the touch and had a refreshing smell. They were extremely effective in reducing heat.
Shadow Six got into the carriage to get it. After a while, his puzzled voice came from the carriage. “Eh? Why is there so much missing? I clearly remember there was half a bucket!”
Ah Wei took a sip of tea without changing his expression.
After they set up the tent, they began to prepare food. Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six found a clean water source nearby and carried back two buckets of water, one for cooking and the other for drinking.
Dinner was quite sumptuous. There was white rice, cured meat, braised mutton, roasted rabbit meat, and some boiled wild vegetables picked on the way. Without a table, they could only go back to their tents to eat in the open.
When Ah Wei came to eat for the third time, Qing Yan, who was squatting by the bonfire and eating rabbit meat, gave him a strange look. “Ah Wei, I realize that you’ve eaten a lot more recently.”
