Chapter 419: What Is Arrogance
When Sun Tianhao heard this, he almost fainted.
Chu Luo, who was standing at the side, kindly reminded him, “Uncle Sun, if you pull Sun Tianhao’s collar again, he’ll be strangled to death.”
Third Master Sun reacted and quickly let go of Sun Tianhao.
“Cough… Pfft…”
With Sun Tianhao coughing, a mouthful of sand entered his mouth, choking him until he almost fainted again.
Third Master Sun quickly helped him put on his mask.
“Son, are you okay? Can you walk? If you can’t, ride on a camel.”
“Why not!”
It was impossible for Sun Tianhao to show weakness in front of Chu Luo and Li Yan.
He stifled a cough that reached his mouth and said with a red face, “I’m not injured.”
Li Yan glanced at him and said to Third Master Sun, “Let’s leave quickly. Otherwise, we won’t be able to leave.”
Third Master Sun quickly urged everyone to continue walking.
The more they walked, the more difficult it became. Before long, many more camels started to riot.
Many people couldn’t hold their camel back anymore.
Lu Feng discussed with Wang Ming and said to them, “If this continues, all the camels will run away.”
Sun Tianhao suggested, “I heard that camels living in the desert have the ability to avoid disasters. Why don’t we ride on their backs and let them run?”
Lu Feng immediately turned down his idea. “In this situation, the camels are basically running around in a panic. We can’t sit properly on them at all.”
“Then what should we do?”
After Sun Tianhao finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Chu Luo.
“Chu Luo, do you have a way?”
He felt that if Chu Luo used her ability at this time, they would definitely be able to keep the camels.
Chu Luo glanced at him as if he was an idiot. “If I could block such a natural disaster, I would be an immortal.”
Sun Tianhao grinned. “Aren’t you a fairy?”
Before Chu Luo could say anything, Li Yan placed Chu Luo on the ground and stood between them.
Sun Tianhao glared and thought, ‘This person is ridiculous! Unreasonable!’
In this short time, a few more camels broke free and ran away.
Everyone’s expressions turned serious.
Li Yan said, “Tie all the camels together. We’ll walk in the middle.”
“That’s a good idea!”
Third Master Sun quickly shouted for everyone to do as he said.
Not only did the Sun family army quickly tie up the camels, but Li Yan’s men also quickly did the same.
Soon, 40 to 50 camels were tied together.
The quicksand activity under their feet became even more intense. The ground in front of them seemed to have been overturned, and the hill became a moving wave.
Everyone hooked arms with each other and grabbed the ropes of every camel, trying their best to walk sturdily.
An hour later, everyone looked tired.
Chu Luo, who had been in Li Yan’s arms the entire time and was walking with her coat covering her face, wasn’t much affected. She tugged at Li Yan’s clothes and when he looked down at her, she said, “This can’t go on. We didn’t seem to have gone far in the past hour.”
Li Yan pursed his lips and responded with an “Mm” with a serious expression.
At that moment, Lu Feng and Wang Ming shouted in horror, “This is bad. The next wave of super quicksand will arrive in half an hour. We can’t reach a place where we can dodge the quicksand.”
Their voices were filled with despair.
Li Yan tightened his grip on Chu Luo’s waist.
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “There’s only one way now. I’ll use my ability to teleport everyone out.”
“You can teleport so many people and camels at once?”
“Yes, but we can’t teleport wherever we want. Maybe we’ll be back in the next second.”
Li Yan thought for a moment and nodded. “As long as it doesn’t affect you, let’s try.”
Li Yan said to Third Master Sun, who was walking beside him, “Make everyone stop.”
Third Master Sun was about to ask what happened.
Beside him, Sun Tianhao seemed to have guessed something and shouted, “Everyone, stop.”
His roar was immediately covered by the wind.
Li Yan got his bodyguards to pass on the message.
Soon, everyone stopped.
Chu Luo walked out of Li Yan’s embrace.
She pressed her palms together and quickly chanted an incantation. Soon, a strong red light emitted from her wrist.
Just as everyone was so shocked that they forgot to react, everyone felt a flash in front of their eyes and a powerful force took them away. In the next moment, the scene in front of them changed and the quicksand disappeared. There was yellow sand everywhere.
“Heavens, we’re out!”
“We’ve left the quicksand region. Are we safe?”
“Where is this?”
…
Just as everyone was excited and puzzled, Lu Feng and Wang Ming, who had reacted, took out the compass on their bodies and quickly guessed where this was.
After a while, the two of them were shocked for a while.
“We just happened to walk out of the quicksand region!”
“But we deviated and walked southwest.”
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at Chu Luo at the same time with reverence in their eyes.
Chu Luo didn’t say anything.
Li Yan said to the bodyguards, “Check if there’s any danger nearby.”
A portion of the bodyguards split up and quickly walked in all directions.
“How much did we deviate?”
“Very far. At least one or two hundred kilometers.”
When they heard this, they fell silent.
Third Master Sun said, “As long as everyone is safe.”
Then, he said to Chu Luo and Li Yan, “Since we’re already in a safe place, let’s set up camp and rest tonight. We’ll leave tomorrow morning.”
At this moment, the temperature in the desert had dropped to below zero. Not only was it cold, but everyone hadn’t eaten a thing after lunch at three in the afternoon. It was already past midnight.
Everyone started setting up camp nearby.
The Sun father-and-son duo immediately surrounded Chu Luo.
Sun Tianhao asked, “Chu Luo, what ability did you use just now to bring us all away from that place?”
Chu Luo said deliberately, “Guess.”
Sun Tianhao: “…”
How could he have forgotten that this person was as evil as her man?
Actually, Third Master Sun also wanted to ask. Since Chu Luo had said so, he swallowed his words. He knew that Chu Luo was capable and thought that it was a must for an expert to have teleportation abilities.
At the thought of this, he said, “We were here to look for those missing people. We didn’t expect to encounter such strong quicksand. I wonder where the people who came previously disappeared?”
Sun Tianhao replied, “The desert is so big. It will definitely be difficult to find them. Besides, it’s unknown if these people were buried in the sand.”
“These people all want to go to that tomb. We might as well go there and guard it.”
While they were talking, Li Yan’s bodyguards had already set up the tent.
Li Yan wrapped his arm around Chu Luo’s waist and walked towards their tent.
As Chu Luo walked, she turned around and said to the Sun father-and-son duo, “Everyone, take a good rest tonight. Otherwise, you won’t have the energy to continue tomorrow.”
The Sun father-and-son duo nodded at her at the same time.
The bodyguards who were sent out only returned after nearly an hour.
Li Yan went out to listen to their report.
After a while, he returned.
Chu Luo asked, “Did they find anything?”
“No, there’s nothing nearby.”
Since they didn’t find anything, everyone could only rest first.
The next morning, when Chu Luo and Li Yan walked out of the tent, they saw Third Master Sun talking to two guides.
The two of them walked over.
The three of them stopped.
When Lu Feng and Wang Ming saw Chu Luo, they looked at her as if she was a god. Their eyes were filled with reverence.
Third Master Sun said to the two of them, “You came at the right time. We were just discussing the route today.
Since we had already passed the quicksand region, the following path was relatively safer. However, the direction we deviated from was too far. We would have to walk for at least another day to reach our destination.
“The few camels that we ran away with previously carried our water. When the time comes, there will definitely not be enough water. We have to think of a way to find water first.”
There was an oasis in the desert, but the two guides had said that the oasis was very far from here. They definitely wouldn’t be able to reach it today.
Chu Luo and Li Yan weren’t worried about this.
Chu Luo said, “We have water here.”
Third Master Sun continued frowning. “You didn’t bring much.”
“We brought a lot.”
Third Master Sun had no idea how much Chu Luo meant by ‘a lot’. Thinking that she might not have the experience of surviving in the desert even though she was powerful, he wanted to tell her about the importance of water in the desert.
At this moment, Li Yan said to Chu Luo, “The water in the tent should have heated up. Go wash up first.”
Chu Luo nodded. As she turned around and walked into the tent, she said, “I’ll leave half a basin of water for you. You can come and wash up later.”
“Okay.”
Third Master Sun: “…”
Use half a basin of water to wash up?
Could it be that his understanding was wrong?
When Chu Luo finished washing up and brought out half a basin of water to pour away, Third Master Sun was shocked and quickly shouted, “Little Chu, what are you doing?”
His shout attracted the attention of everyone else.
Chu Luo said with a confused expression, “Pouring water.”
Third Master Sun said with a pained expression, “Ouch, my goodness. Why did you use such a big basin of water to wash your face? You should have used less.”
Chu Luo looked at him with the water. “I’ve already used it.”
“Then keep it there and don’t pour it away. Since it’s already been used, let everyone wash their faces.”
Chu Luo: “…”
Li Yan looked at the confused Chu Luo and walked over to take the water from her hand. He poured it away and said to Third Master Sun, who was about to flare up, “If you want to wash your face, we have a lot of water here.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the tent to retrieve the bucket of water that Chu Luo had taken out from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch.
Third Master Sun was speechless. “How did you guys bring such a big bucket of water over?”
“Luoluo naturally has a way.”
Third Master Sun suddenly remembered that Chu Luo had said that they had a lot of water. He asked again, “How much water did you bring?”
“A few tonnes.”
“!!!”
