According to the desert map Nalan Sheng had purchased, Stone Desert City and Desert City were more than a thousand li apart.
If they traveled on foot from Desert City to Stone Desert City, even if everything went smoothly along the way, it would take at least half a month.
The Tagor Desert not only had a harsh environment, but also harbored dangers at every turn.
Besides the magical beasts that liked to lurk in the sand and ambush passing travelers, many powerful Snake-People also lived in the desert.
With a flying shikigami like [Nue], however, Nalan Sheng and his companion could ignore most of the desert's dangers.
After all, flying magical beasts were even rarer in the desert than in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
As for the Dou Wang-level Snake-People, most lived deep in the desert and seldom appeared near human cities.
With [Nue] flying at full speed, Nalan Sheng and Xiao Yi Xian soon crossed seven or eight hundred li and arrived above an unfamiliar stretch of desert.
"Hm?"
Nalan Sheng, who had been holding Xiao Yi Xian in his arms as they admired the starry sky, suddenly raised his swordlike brows and looked down at the desert below.
In the distance, two groups were fighting in the sand.
One group consisted of men and women, all dressed like mercenaries.
The other had human upper bodies and snake tails below. They were clearly the Snake-People who lived in the Tagor Desert.
Although the Snake-People were slightly outnumbered by the human mercenaries, their average strength was greater.
Moreover, they could command all sorts of venomous snakes to assist them in battle, so the human mercenaries were gradually falling into a disadvantage.
Seeing this, the kindhearted Xiao Yi Xian could not help saying to Nalan Sheng, "Sheng, why don't
