Half an hour later, the Fire-Winged Monkey flew back carrying a huge Sand Devouring Serpent.
Although the teeth of the Sand Devouring Serpent contain potent venom, its flesh is quite delicious.
This is the conclusion reached by Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue while eating roasted snake meat.
After Jiang Liu tossed the food scraps to the Sea Turtle to clean up, he and Gongsun Haoyue lay back on the lounge chairs, gazing at the exceptionally bright night sky.
I couldn't help but sigh. Although the environment in the desert is harsh, it seems to offer more freedom than the mainland.
Moreover, I now have beautiful women, fine wine, delicious food, and fine tea around me. Thinking about it, this life is quite pleasant.
As Jiang Liu pondered, he inhaled the faint fragrance emanating from Gongsun Haoyue, and then a wave of drowsiness washed over him. Jiang Liu closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Gongsun Haoyue looked at Jiang Liu, who was leaning against her, his breathing becoming calm, and was fast asleep. A gentle expression appeared on her face.
She knew that Jiang Liu was carrying a heavy burden in his heart, so she had been diligently practicing without slacking off.
She didn't know where Jiang Liu's sense of crisis came from, but she could tell just by the fact that he loved cultivation so much, yet was forced to travel all over the country.
Perhaps, this is the sense of mission in Jiang Liu's heart!
However, she also knew that Jiang Liu had unintentionally saved the mainland from crisis on several occasions.
If it weren't for Jiang Liu, the entire continent would probably be in even more chaos right now.
The increasingly peaceful situation will not exist now.
Gongsun Haoyue gently touched Jiang Liu's face, her eyes filled with pity and love, staring at Jiang Liu in a daze.
The next morning, after a night's rest, Jiang Liu stretched and felt refreshed, having not felt this relaxed in a long time.
Gongsun Haoyue smiled as she looked at Jiang Liu, who was now full of vigor again, and got up to prepare breakfast for Jiang Liu.
Although she can't cook elaborate dishes, she can still make simple porridge.
If the people of the Star Moon Sect knew that their sect leader would cook for a man, they would probably be shocked.
It should be noted that Gongsun Haoyue has never done these things since birth.
Jiang Liu looked at the busy Gongsun Haoyue and felt a sense of satisfaction.
He had already sensed that Gongsun Haoyue had been guarding him all night without rest.
This is the main reason why he subconsciously feels a strong sense of security.
After the two had breakfast, Gongsun Haoyue began to meditate and rest.
Jiang Liu stood up and looked around at his surroundings.
Suddenly, a patch of green appeared in the distance on the horizon.
Upon closer inspection, it appears to be the first oasis encountered upon entering the desert.
This place also serves as a reconnaissance post for the King Chujiang Hall. Reaching this location signifies officially entering the sphere of influence of the King Chujiang Hall.
Before Jiang Liu give the order, the Fire-Winged Monkey had already taken the lead and flown towards that direction.
When the Sea Turtle flew over, Jiang Liu saw that the place was in a mess, with seven or eight corpses lying on the ground.
Jiang Liu also saw a large pile of White Bone in the sand not far from this oasis.
It's estimated that they were martial artists or passersby who were killed by the people here and then used to practice their skills by sucking blood.
Meanwhile, the Fire-Winged Monkey sat to the side, picked up some dried Exotic Beast Meat, and began to eat.
Now, the Fire-Winged Monkey no longer look down on the low quality of these Exotic Beast Meat.
Having been hungry all night and unable to find anything to eat, it was truly starving.
Jiang Liu looked around and saw that there was nothing there. He simply replenished his water supply and then turned and left.
Although Water Primal Qi can be converted into water from the air, it would still be much better if there were water available.
After all, being in the desert, even the moisture in the air is much less.
The Fire-Winged Monkey then voluntarily moved all the Exotic Beast Meat inside onto the Sea Turtle's back.
It doesn't want to have to go far away to find food next time.
It's all that stupid turtle's fault for flying around so much and not being able to hide its aura, scaring away all the surrounding Exotic Beast.
If it wants to kill a few Exotic Beast to eat, it has to go a long way alone to find them.
The Fire-Winged Monkey harbored deep resentment towards the Sea Turtle.
Jiang Liu passed through the Divine Sea and gave a command to the Sea Turtle, instructing it to change its course.
The Fire-Winged Monkey is no longer a good guide, as it now has to go out to find food.
Therefore, Jiang Liu stopped paying attention to the Fire-Winged Monkey and let it run around aimlessly, as long as it could keep up.
Two days later, several houses made of sand came into view of Jiang Liu and Gongsun Haoyue.
A high wall was erected around these houses to protect them from the attacks of Sand Devouring Serpent and the erosion of sandstorms.
Inside these houses, more than twenty people from the King Chujiang Hall were peering through the windows at the rapidly approaching Sea Turtle, trembling all over.
They simply couldn't understand why a Sea Turtle, which is supposed to live in the ocean, would end up in the desert.
You came to the desert, so what? Why did you come after us?
Jiang Liu's figure flashed continuously, and he stepped into the air above these houses, his Divine Sense enveloping them.
A hand formed from primordial energy appeared and grabbed a middle-aged man.
Then, Divine Sense invaded his Divine Sense sea and began to interrogate him.
After obtaining detailed information, Jiang Liu smashed the man to pieces.
Don't be fooled by how pitiful these people from the King Chujiang Hall look now.
However, no matter who is a martial artist or a mortal, they all cannot escape their clutches when they pass through this place.
The sheer number of White Bone piled up beneath this wall speaks volumes.
Jiang Liu was about to make a move and wipe out everyone here.
The Fire-Winged Monkey, which had caught up from behind, flew over and began bombarding the houses with its golden Primal Qi Cudgel.
Before long, the entire place was destroyed, and none of the warriors from the King Chujiang Hall escaped.
Then, the Fire-Winged Monkey began searching for food.
Jiang Liu simply opened the cellar beneath the sand wall, took out the water and food stored inside, and then leaped onto the Sea Turtle's back.
After waiting a while, the Fire-Winged Monkey, laden with its catch, also leaped onto the Sea Turtle's back.
Jiang Liu then gave the Sea Turtle a command, instructing it to adjust its direction and fly towards the direction of the Lisha Illusionary Realm.
A few days later, Jiang Liu could clearly feel that the vital energy here had begun to thin out after he entered.
Although since entering the desert, the spiritual energy in this world has become significantly thinner than that on the mainland.
However, the vitality here seems even less.
Jiang Liu knew that they were getting close to the Lisha Illusionary Realm.
Jiang Liu immediately ordered the Fire-Winged Monkey and Sea Turtle to keep an eye on things.
Because Gongliang Bo could appear anywhere here at any time and attack them.
The main problem is that they don't know what the environment is like here, and since this place is called an illusion, there must be some unknown illusions that appear.
Jiang Liu held Gongsun Haoyue's small hand, stood on the back of the Sea Turtle, and released his Divine Sense to carefully sense the changes around him.
