Chapter 44: Fists Are the Only Truth
Yellow sand!
It's all yellow sand!
Yao Yan took Ling'er through the desert, walking aimlessly towards the setting sun. His expression gradually became numb, and some of his original thoughts disappeared with the scorching sun. Compared with those distant plans, he felt that what he needed to consider most at the moment was how to cross this desert, find the human city, and then determine his current location.
As for the rest, you have to step back.
He walked towards the distance step by step, leaving a trail of footprints on the sand, which were soon wiped out by the wind.
After a while.
Yao Yan lay in the shadow of a rock, admiring the afterglow of the sunset, while thinking about a problem. That is, there was not much water in his ring. If he continued to get lost in this desert, he would most likely die of thirst.
Thinking of this possibility, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he no longer felt how good his luck was.
Even if he was thrown into the barren mountains and forests, it would be far better than in the desert.
Take a night's rest, and try your best to find a direction and sprint with all your strength tomorrow... Yao Yan closed his eyes and made a decision in his heart.
"嘤嘤~"
Ling'er was now lying weakly in Yao Yan's arms, with her big ears drooping and her tongue sticking out. She called out weakly twice, indicating that she was very thirsty and was almost dying of thirst.
Yao Yan pinched her neck and lifted her up. Looking into his watery eyes, he said speechlessly, "You've almost finished drinking all the water. Save it, or we'll all die here."
He couldn't understand why a strange fire would be thirsty in the desert and look like it was about to die.
Outrageous.
Ling'er cried out weakly, indicating that she was really dying.
The acting is top notch.
Yao Yan rolled his eyes and ignored the little guy, putting it back in his arms. At the same time, he tilted his head back and wondered if he could give up his physical body and learn from Yao Lao to become a soul body, hide in the storage ring, and then let Ling'er hold the storage ring and run to the outside world.
With Ling'er's body as the spirit of strange fire, there is no way this little guy could die here.
……
While Yao Yan was daydreaming, a group of people suddenly appeared in his sight in the distance.
This group of people seemed to be escorting a group of snake slaves.
“Hurry up!!”
"Faster!!"
"What are you dawdling for? Do you want to be dried up in the sun? Hurry up!!"
The mercenaries guarding the snake people along the way kept waving their whips, looking ferociously at the group of snake people tied with chains, constantly urging and scolding them. The hot and dry desert weather not only made them irritable, but also made their patience almost non-existent.
I wish I could return to the base right now and drink a few gulps of cold spring water.
In this desert, water is obviously more attractive than anything else.
Suddenly, a snake man staggered and fell to the ground, seemingly without any strength left. He said in a soft and moving voice, with a hint of pleading, "Can you... give me some water?"
"Water? You still want water?! My mouth is still dry. If you don't want to die, get up!!"
The robbers who were guarding nearby had no interest in appreciating the beauty of the snake man in front of them. They didn't even have the thought of appreciating her. They just kicked her and urged her, "If you don't want to die, get up here, or I'll beat you to death!"
For him, he was so thirsty that he no longer had any other thoughts. He just wanted to get back to the camp as soon as possible and have a drink of water.
As for the beautiful snake girl?
I'm almost dead, why would I have the interest to care about these things?
A burly figure appeared beside him at some point, stretched out his hand and grabbed the younger brother who was about to whip him, looked at him coldly, and warned him in a deep voice: "Don't hurt her face, she is much more valuable than you!"
"Boss, isn't this urgent? Got it!"
The younger brother gave a dry laugh and responded.
"no next time!"
The burly boss snorted coldly, then pushed his little brother away, and looked at the snake man lying on the ground with burning eyes. His Adam's apple rolled. Apart from anything else, this accidentally captured snake man was so beautiful. After catching snake men for so many years, this was the first time he found such a stunning snake beauty.
Whether it is her figure, face, or temperament, she is absolutely exquisite.
If a snake person of this level is brought to a big city, he will definitely be sold for a sky-high price, and maybe he won’t have to worry about his future.
However, the boss was clear-headed and knew very well that this behavior was a bit suicidal.
If you have the life to make money, you also have to have the life to enjoy it.
Compared to selling it alone, it is obviously more appropriate to give this beautiful snake woman to the boss of the stronghold.
Little people have their own way of survival.
He was no exception. What a pity... The boss sighed in his heart. If he didn't know that second-hand ones were worthless, he would really like to enjoy them.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint cry for help in his ears, and the sound became clearer and clearer.
"Hey, brother, over here! Over here!"
When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw a handsome young man in ragged clothes waving his hands at him with surprise on his face, and waving his hands at the same time as he ran. He looked as if he had seen his family members after a long separation. This abrupt scene made everyone slightly stunned.
Soon, the handsome young man ran in front of them, allowing the human traffickers to see his face clearly, and they were all surprised.
What a handsome young man!
Even though his clothes were stained with blood, it couldn't hide his perfect facial features. His long, thick black hair was dancing freely, and a cute little fox was lying on his shoulder. He didn't look like someone who hung out here all year round.
The burly boss looked at Yao Yan and asked, "Boy, are you in trouble?"
"Nine out of ten, the clothes are torn. Maybe they were robbed by some bandits, haha."
"You came to the Tagor Desert to venture out and brought a pet with you. Boy, are you the eldest son of some family? You are so handsome."
"It's possible. The skin is as tender as a woman's!"
As the boss spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Yao Yan and they expressed their opinions one after another. Even the snake man they were escorting looked at Yao Yan, because Yao Yan's appearance was too special here and seemed out of place here.
The Tagor Desert?
Yao Yan's eyes flickered slightly as he heard a very familiar word. His gaze immediately fell on the snake people in shackles. He had some guesses in his mind, but soon, his gaze fell on a beautiful snake person, the one who had been scolded before.
According to the perception of his soul power, this beautiful snake woman has a very strong power contained in her body, but it is currently sealed by a spatial energy.
Having just experienced a space storm, he was extremely sensitive to space energy.
The eldest boss naturally noticed Yao Yan's gaze and said playfully: "Boy, have you never seen a beautiful woman from the snake tribe? If you have money, I can sell one to you... But do you have money?"
The beautiful snakeman who fell to the ground seemed to notice Yao Yan's gaze. She bit her lips lightly, lowered her head weakly, and looked a little at a loss.
"I have money, but who of you can decide? I also want to buy some water and food, as well as a map of this area."
Yao Yan retracted his gaze, looked at the group of mercenaries, and asked. Although he hated human trafficking, the Douqi Continent had its own rules. He would not bully a group of mercenaries who were risking their lives to capture snake people in the desert just because he was strong.
Every place has its own rules. A group of snake people has nothing to do with him, so he won't be too kind.
However, he was interested in buying this special snake beauty.
"?!"
The burly leader was stunned when he heard this, then turned to look at his brothers and laughed, "Brothers, did you hear what this kid said? He actually wants to do business with me? Haha!"
The younger brothers around him laughed when they heard this, and stared at Yao Yan with amusement. They were not much more civilized than the sand bandits.
Especially in a deserted place like this, who would want to do legitimate business?
The smile on the boss's face gradually faded. He stared at Yao Yan and said coldly, "Boy, I only do business without any capital. You can only blame yourself for having bad luck and delivering yourself to my door!"
After saying that, he drew out the big knife from his waist and pointed it at Yao Yan. At the same time, the fighting spirit belonging to the great fighting master level burst out from his body, lingering around his body and condensing into a yellow fighting spirit armor, making his momentum even more powerful and majestic.
"Do you want to put on the shackles yourself and go with me, or do you want me to put them on for you?"
Yao Yan was silent after hearing this. After a moment, he asked helplessly: "...Are you usually so unruly in doing things?"
"Rules? The knife in my hand is the rules!"
Upon hearing this, the boss smiled grimly, and then swung the big knife in his hand, wanting to teach Yao Yan a lesson and let him know what the rules are. But just when his knife was about to reach Yao Yan, the other party suddenly raised a hand, and his five fingers just caught the blade.
At this moment, Ling'er had shrunk back into Yao Yan's arms, with her cute little head sticking out, her eyes sparkling as she watched the scene.
The boss' pupils shrank, and before he could react, Yao Yan's fist came lightly towards his chest. It seemed to have no power, but it crushed the sturdy fighting spirit armor on his body the moment of contact, and then it fit tightly against his chest.
"Kacha!"
Along with the sound of bone breaking, his chest sank directly, and then the whole person flew backwards seven or eight meters, and fell straight to the ground, with a lot of black blood flowing out of his mouth, and there was no sign of life.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
The next moment, a man with a body similar to that of the eldest boss rushed towards Yao Yan with bloodshot eyes: "Your grandfather, how dare you kill my eldest brother!"
a slap.
The man who rushed towards Yao Yan was thrown dozens of meters away and fell heavily to the ground. His head was turned 180 degrees and he died with his eyes open.
This scene made the other mercenaries swallow their saliva and stare at the seemingly harmless handsome boy in front of them in horror. They were two great fighting masters! They were beaten to death just like that!
Yao Yan shook his head and whispered: "Sure enough, fists are more useful!"
He is actually a very reasonable person, but people in this world don't like to be reasonable.
The fist is the only truth.
