Volume 1 Chapter 17 Scary Price

Huang Mo...

Gu Xiao frowned, feeling suspicious, but quickly calmed down and concentrated on escaping.

It was said that he was escaping, but Gu Xiao's figure was heading in the direction of the oasis, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry. It would be more appropriate to say that he was deliberately tempting him.

But at this time, Huang Mo behind him was so angry that he didn't notice it at all.

After a few breaths, Gu Xiao's expression changed. He couldn't help but look back. When he saw it, his face was shocked: "It's so fast."

Gu Xiao narrowed his eyes and turned his spiritual power to move forward at a faster speed. This increase in speed also surprised Huang Mo.

Damn it!

Huang Mo cursed secretly, and also used his spiritual power to increase his speed by one point.

But what Huang Mo didn't expect was that as soon as his speed increased, Gu Xiao in front was even faster.

Is this kid a monster?!

Huang Mo was completely shocked.

You must know that in this desert, in addition to the dangers brought by monsters, the harsh environment and climate are also equally dangerous.

Anyone with some common sense and experience would never rush forward without sparing any effort in this desert, but Gu Xiao was like a dazed young man, completely ignoring physical exertion and running faster and faster.

Speed ​​up the chase, or give up?

Unlike Gu Xiao, Huang Mo had been to the desert before and was very familiar with the survival rules of the desert. In particular, rapid consumption of physical strength was a taboo in the desert. Because of knowing this, Huang Mo hesitated.

But when you think about the vastness of the desert, once you lose track of it, it will be difficult to follow it again.

After thinking about it, he looked around at the terrain and realized that he was near an oasis. He gritted his teeth and pursued with all his strength.

Sensing the change in Huang Mo's aura behind him, Gu Xiao's heart sank, and he also tried his best to maintain the distance between him and Huang Mo.

The speed is almost the same, but after all, there is a difference in cultivation level of the third heaven, and there is still a gap in the amount of spiritual power reserves. However, Gu Xiao's spiritual power was completely consumed in just a cup of tea.

In desperation, Gu Xiao could only separate his mind and sink into the mysterious space, using the spiritual energy accumulated in the space to recover.

But Gu Xiao didn't know that Huang Mo was completely shocked at this time!

This pursuit and escape had already covered nearly thirty miles, almost at full speed. Even though he was at the seventh level of Qi Condensation, he was very tired.

But looking back at Gu Xiao in front, it seems... he is running more energetically?!

This kid is really a monster!

Huang Mo cursed secretly in his heart, and the figure that was galloping at full speed slowly stopped. After standing still, he began to breathe smoothly.

Sensing something strange behind him, Gu Xiao turned around again and saw Huang Mo stop. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and stopped at the same time.

Huang Mo's appearance showed that he was extremely exhausted, and his aura was not as strong as before. In addition, the two previous sixth-level Qi Condensation were not there...

A cold light rose in Gu Xiao's eyes!

At the same time as the cold light rose, Huang Mo, who was calming down, suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart. He stepped aside and stepped aside.

Just as he dodged, a sword mark appeared where he was standing before!

This kid still has some energy left?!

Looking at the sword marks on the ground, Huang Mo's eyes almost popped out of his head. When he looked at Gu Xiao, his eyes were full of caution and fear: "Gu Xiao, what state are you in?"

Hearing Huang Mo's question, Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Can't you tell what state I am in?"

Huang Mo narrowed his eyes and sneered after a moment: "Bluffing? This move is all I have left."

"Oh? If you think I'm bluffing, then there's nothing I can do..." Gu Xiao raised the Kyushu Sword and pointed at Huang Mo: "Want to try it?"

Gu Xiao's confidence made Huang Mo's heart sink. He didn't move for a long time, but he could clearly see the hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, Gu Xiao felt relieved, but remained calm on the surface, and even chuckled: "If you don't want to do anything, then leave."

After saying that, Gu Xiao turned around and headed towards the oasis, even putting away the Kyushu Sword.

This seemingly seeking death made Huang Mo feel even more unsure, and he didn't dare to move.

This guy is so difficult to deal with. If you push him too hard, he might end up dead. It’s really not worth it. We still have to wait for Xiao San and Xiao Si to come...

Thinking of this, Huang Mo couldn't help but look up in Gu Xiao's direction, but never thought that as soon as he raised his head, Gu Xiao suddenly accelerated and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You brat! How dare you play tricks on me!"

After hunting geese all day long, he was blinded by a goose peck. When he realized that he had been deceived, Huang Mo was furious!

But the anger returned and Huang Mo did not lose his cool.

This journey of escaping consumes a lot of both physical and spiritual energy. Coupled with the harsh weather in the desert, Gu Xiao is bound to enter an oasis for supplies.

Huang Mo snorted coldly, left a mark on a big rock, and rushed towards the oasis.

A quarter of an hour later, Huang Mo arrived at the oasis. Along the way, Gu Xiao was not found.

At this time, Gu Xiao was already in the hotel, enjoying a delicious meal. In less than a moment, Gu Xiao's table was piled with plates.

"Waiter, check out."

"Okay! Sir, you have to pay a total of twenty-five taels of silver."

"What? Twenty-five taels?!"

Gu Xiao was shocked when he heard the waiter's quotation. After the surprise, his face became cold.

On the other hand, when the waiter saw Gu Xiao's cold expression, he smiled nonchalantly: "Is this your first time in the desert?"

Gu Xiao nodded, and the waiter chuckled: "It's your first time here, but you don't know that these meats only cost five taels of silver, but this water costs five taels a cup."

Five taels for a glass of water?!

Looking at the four empty cups on the table, Gu Xiao frowned. He looked at other tables and found that the tables of the surrounding diners either had no quilts or only had one cup.

And when I drink water, I always sip it in small sips.

I see.

Gu Xiao took a breath and smiled bitterly, fully understanding what it meant to read thousands of books rather than travel thousands of miles.

Helpless, Gu Xiao could only pay and left the hotel depressed.

Seeing that there was less than ten taels of silver in my hand, I felt even more depressed.

The water in this oasis is sold at such a high price. It is simply ridiculously expensive, but it also shows that the reason why it is so expensive must be that there is only one water source within a hundred miles.

At the same time, being able to sell water as a commodity shows that there are forces controlling this water source.

In this dangerous desert territory, the strength of a force that can control a water source is evident.

But the route was changed halfway and the route has deviated. To rush to the Chilian Mountains, even if you go at full strength, it will take several days. There is also a sea of ​​​​sand that stretches for 200 miles on the way. If there is no water, you will definitely die!

"It seems that we must find a way to contact this force."

After muttering something, Gu Xiao randomly found a direction and started walking.

In the desert, it is easy to sense water vapor, and it didn't take long for Gu Xiao to find the water source.

Just around the water source, there were five posts and one sentry, and they were all at the peak of Qi Condensation. Gu Xiao gave up his idea in an instant.

If you can't rob by force, then you can only outwit it, but how to outwit it...

Gu Xiao was thinking quickly as he walked.

Not far away, Gu Xiao suddenly changed his expression and turned in one direction, because he unexpectedly found a place containing water vapor, and there was no other breath around it.

I quickly rushed to the place where there was water vapor, and what I saw was a dilapidated wellhead with overgrown weeds. When I looked closer, I found that the well was a dry well.

Although it was a dry well, Gu Xiao was absolutely certain that the water vapor he just sensed was definitely not an illusion!

After looking around, Gu Xiao jumped into the well. After falling rapidly for three feet, his field of vision suddenly widened.

After landing, Gu Xiao saw clearly that this was a space about six feet square, and it was extremely dry.

After sensing it calmly, Gu Xiao moved closer to the place where the water vapor was sensed. When he got to the spot, he found that it was just a small crack that could not be found without looking closely, and water was dripping drop by drop.

Seeing this situation, Gu Xiao was disappointed.

This was indeed water, but drop by drop, he was afraid that he would die of thirst in the well before he could catch enough.

Gu Xiao shook his head helplessly, and was about to leave, but stopped after taking a few steps.

Looking back at the dripping crack, Gu Xiao had a bold idea.

This is a dry well, but before it dries up, it means that it must be connected to a water source. If the cracks are opened wider, water may be drawn out...

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao did not hesitate and pointed towards the crack.

Gu Xiao's spiritual power was already tempered by the Three Yangs, and the spiritual power erupted from this finger was enough to destroy gold and jade, let alone the soil underground.

It is as powerful as a broken bamboo!

And as Gu Xiao's spiritual power deepened and was exhausted, a trickle of water was left in the small mouth of this finger. This made Gu Xiao suddenly happy, and he quickly took out the container and started to collect the water.

After connecting more than ten bags, Gu Xiao was satisfied.

With the water source secured, there was less resistance to heading to the Chilian Mountains. In addition to being assassinated, Gu Xiao no longer delayed and jumped out of the dry well.

But Gu Xiao didn't know that just when he jumped out of the dry well, a blue ball fell out of the trickling stream and fell to the ground with a ticking sound.

Immediately afterwards, the blue bead seemed to be alive. After spinning twice in place, it rolled to the bottom of the well mouth, and suddenly rose into the sky, rising straight into the void.

Standing in the void, the blue bead spun around in a circle as if to identify its direction, and then disappeared with a swish.

When the sleeping blue beads disappeared, the water source of the oasis disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. This caused the surrounding guards to panic instantly and the entire oasis was in chaos.

But Gu Xiao didn't know this. In just a short time, he had already run several miles.

Half a day later, Gu Xiao had arrived at the edge of the sand sea that spread for two hundred miles.

In view of the elusive sandworms lurking in the sand sea, and the extremely dangerous movement at night, Gu Xiao decided to rest for the night and sleep with his clothes on.

After traveling for days and running away with Huang Mo, Gu Xiao, who was still alert at first, couldn't resist his sleepiness in the second half of the night and fell into a deep sleep.
