Xiao Yu cupped his hands to Sun Wu and said with a smile, "Brother Sun, I will. I entered the desert for cultivation, and now I must continue my training. Otherwise, I would have been willing to join you all and see it for myself."
After saying goodbye, Xiao Yu checked his supplies and water. They were enough to last until the next oasis. He then took out Hai Bo Dong's map, carefully confirmed the direction, and stepped into the desert once more.
It had to be said that although Hai Bo Dong's map was expensive, some of the oases marked on it were places ordinary people knew nothing about. Take the oases within the Snake-People Tribe's territory, for example. Ordinary mercenaries had no chance to come here, much less survey the area.
Xiao Yu walked for a full two days before reaching another oasis. This place was not far from the Snake-People Tribe's Holy City, where Medusa would undergo her tribulation. Estimating his speed, Xiao Yu figured that he should be able to reach it by sunset tomorrow.
