Chapter 52 Arrival
The scorching sun poured down from the sky, baking the desert beneath the feet so that it constantly emitted suffocating heat. As the heat rose, everything in front of the eyes seemed to become blurred and distorted.

"Ding~"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of camel bells, a thick-skinned and tough monster slowly moved forward, dragging a heavy waterwheel.

Yao Yan sat on the waterwheel, raised his hands to shade himself, looked at the cloudless sky and the dazzling sun, and couldn't help saying, "The temperature difference between day and night in the Tagor Desert is really big."

Even though he knew that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert would be huge, only by actually experiencing the midday sun could one feel its horror. If he didn't have a detailed map and wandered around the Tagor Desert alone, he would probably be sunburned to death, no matter how strong his physique was.

After complaining, he looked at Hai Bodong who had a stern expression beside him and said with a smile: "No wonder you stay in this area, the fighting spirit of ice attribute is indeed very advantageous."

Even elementary school students know that water vapor condenses into water when it gets cold. But in the Tag Desert, water is undoubtedly more precious than anything else, and one can probably make a lot of money just by selling water.

Hai Bodong still had a cold face, like an emotionless killer, and said indifferently: "I don't think so. Ice attribute fighting spirit can indeed condense water in the desert, but it will also be restrained by the surrounding climate. Even if you have the strength of a fighting emperor, you will be suppressed a little."

There is a property restraint in fighting spirit. Among the same level of martial arts, the restrained party will be in an absolute disadvantage, and it is even common for the weak to defeat the strong.

"Is this why you chose to travel by water truck?"

Yao Yan looked at the miserable second-level monster 'Tie Hanhan' pulling the cart in front of him and asked, with the strength of a Douhuang, if he chose to fly, he would be able to fly out of the Tagor Desert in half a day.

"The Tagor Desert is the territory of the Serpent People. If we are too high-profile, they will easily target us. If the Serpent People really want to keep us here, even a Douhuang-level warrior cannot say that he can escape unscathed. It is safer to keep a low profile..."

Hai Bodong was obviously an old hand in the world. He glanced at Yao Yan and told him about his own experience in the world.

learnt!
Yao Yan's eyes lit up and he nodded seriously, listening quietly to the other party's story. He really lacked experience in this area. He had lived in the 'peaceful' world of the medicine industry since he was a child and did not need to consider these things at all. Even when he was training in the Shennong Mountains, he was surrounded by strong men like Yao Nong to support him, so it was difficult for him to experience real danger.

As for the plots of the fantasy novels I read in my previous life...knowing and doing are always two different things.

Moreover, Yao Yan had to admit that after spending a long time with a Dou Sheng like Hunxuzi, he did have a kind of "transcendent sense of expansion" in his heart, especially after knowing that this place was the Jia Ma Empire, he even felt a little bit floating in his heart, which was undoubtedly very dangerous.

Yao Yan reflected on himself and adjusted his attitude. He didn't want to become the classic villain who was killed by the protagonist.

Wait until Hai Bodong finishes speaking.

He continued to ask, "Is the relationship between the Snake People and the Humans so bad?"

"It's very bad. As long as humans set foot in the Tagor Desert, they will become prey to the snake people."

Hai Bodong said calmly.

There was a pause.

He added, "Even so, countless mercenaries still flocked in, because every snake-man slave can be sold at a high price in human cities. To these people, the snake-men are equivalent to precious natural treasures, which attracts them."

At this moment, two heads, one big and one small, popped out from the huge wooden barrel behind them. They were Caidie and Ling'er. Ling'er was lazily lying on Caidie's head, swinging her tail.

Caidie looked at Hai Bodong curiously and asked a strange question: "Uncle, am I valuable?"

When she was captured by the mercenaries, the leader of them said that she was very valuable and could be sold at a high price. Hai Bodong was silent by Caidie's question. He didn't think it was a question of value. If those people in the Jia Ma Empire knew the true identity of Caidie, it is estimated that all the forces in the Jia Ma Empire would be shaken. He couldn't help but look at Yao Yan and reminded her: "You'd better hide her true identity."

Caidie is the sister of Queen Medusa. If this news gets out, it will definitely attract countless idiots to surround her. There is no shortage of such idiots in the world.

The truly strong ones might be afraid of the forces behind Yao Yan and Queen Medusa, but the rest of them will be overwhelmed by the huge profits. Not everyone can remain calm in the face of temptation.

real identity?

A hint of doubt flashed in Caidie's bright blue eyes. Wearing Ling'er's headdress and twin ponytails, she looked at Yao Yan with a slightly silly expression. Does she have any special identity?
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her."

Yao Yan nodded and said that once they entered the human city, he would start to unlock Caidie's power. As long as she recovered her strength, many problems would be solved.

Caidie pouted, feeling a little angry. She felt that Hai Bodong and Yao Yan ignored her. Thinking of this, she simply ignored the two of them and retreated back into the bucket with Ling'er. As for her true identity, she planned to ask Yao Yan in private.

Hai Bodong glanced at the bucket and continued, "She is a bit naive and is indeed not suitable for living in the Tagor Desert."

People can lose their memory, but their character cannot. The former is memory, and the latter is habit.

Compared with Queen Medusa, the person in front of him was as kind as a blank sheet of paper. He even suspected that Caidie had never killed anyone, which was obviously too ridiculous.

"She was too well protected before."

Yao Yan quite agreed with Hai Bodong's words.

Queen Medusa is indeed very doting on her younger sister, and it is this doting that has shaped Caidie's current personality. This kind of personality is obviously not suitable for a world like the Douqi Continent, let alone being the queen of the snake people.

Hai Bodong was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Real protection should be to make her a strong person. She has the talent for it."

"You seem to care about her a lot."

Yao Yan looked at Hai Bodong and said with some surprise that even without the experiences in the original book, Hai Bodong would still care so much about Caidie. The other party should not be such a fussy person.

Hai Bodong's eyes showed a complicated expression, as if he was recalling the past, and his voice was a little low: "Her personality is very similar to my junior sister, but I didn't protect her well back then. I don't want you to make the same mistake again."

"I won't."

Yao Yan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what the other party meant. He responded in a serious tone and in a deep voice.

Hai Bodong closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. At this moment, he completely let go of some of the things in the past. He looked a lot more relaxed. Even the bottleneck that had not moved for a long time seemed to loosen a little. He had a hunch that he would be able to break through to the six-star Douhuang when he returned to the imperial capital this time.

Feeling this, he smiled slightly and said, "The city ahead is Yancheng. It is one of the three cities of the Gama Empire located in the Tagor Desert. There is a special flying transport company inside. You can take it to other cities in the Gama Empire!"

Yao Yan looked around and saw the outline of a human city gradually becoming clear on the distant horizon...
