It was no wonder Lei Erde was furious. They had been so eager to chase them from Fuzhou Lake Island to this place that they forgot to bring food.
Moreover, those reclusive Black Disciple members had brought mineral water and beef jerky, but they were all frozen as hard as iron, making them impossible to chew.
Fortunately, they were all cultivators and had gathered some energy within them. If they were ordinary people, facing this kind of weather, even if they huddled in this cave, they would have been frozen solid.
"Boss, this won't do. Can you please step forward and ask Cheng Xiaofan for some food!" A reclusive Black Leader, hearing the laughter from Cheng Xiaofan's side, couldn't help but say.
Lei Erde glared at him fiercely, "Are you out of your mind? We are mortal enemies with Cheng Xiaofan now. It's already a miracle that he didn't kill us. You still expect him to give us something to eat?" 138 Reading Network
"If you want to go, you try it!"
The leader's eyes rolled back, almost causing him to faint, choked by Lei Erde's words.
Obviously!
In this kind of weather, no one dared to step outside the cave.
They would likely freeze to death within a few steps outside.
...
"Has everyone eaten enough?"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan asked the special warriors beside him.
The special warriors replied, "Mr. Cheng, we've eaten. This fruit ginseng not only warms the body but also fills you up!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and smiled, "Yes, and most importantly, it can replenish the body's energy!"
"Alas—"
At this juncture, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that we lost nearly twenty warriors during this operation. It pains me to think about it!"
Cheng Xiaofan patted him gently on the shoulder, "Captain Zhou, it has already happened, so don't be sad anymore."
"If you had communicated with me before the operation, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened!"
"Alright, let's take this opportunity to huddle together and rest early, so we can regain our strength. We don't know what tomorrow will bring!"
"Okay, everyone listen to Mr. Cheng and rest early!" Zhou Zhi instructed everyone.
Just as everyone huddled together and closed their eyes to rest, Cheng Xiaofan frowned deeply.
When he entered this desert area sealed by a barrier, Cheng Xiaofan had a strong premonition that all those who had come were also sealed within.
To get out, they could no longer find a way back.
In other words, they had lost their direction here and didn't know where to retreat.
No matter how they walked, they would just go in circles around this patch of Gobi Desert.
Perhaps!
Only by entering the oasis could they find their way back.
There was no signal here, and no way to contact the outside world.
Cheng Xiaofan's reason for letting Lei Erde and his group fend for themselves was because he had this idea after sensing such a dangerous environment.
Seeing that Zhou Zhi and the special warriors had fallen asleep, Cheng Xiaofan slowly walked out of the cave.
The snow had lessened considerably.
But the air was even colder.
However, Cheng Xiaofan was completely enveloped in a layer of dragon power and didn't care about the cold at all.
No matter how cold the weather, it couldn't freeze him.
"Where is the Sky-Breaking Eagle?"
Cheng Xiaofan silently chanted in his heart.
"Chirp—"
A shadow flew across the sky and landed in front of him. "Master, what is it, please instruct me!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and asked, "Sky-Breaking Eagle, when you were flying around here, did you feel like you were confined within a circle?"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle immediately replied, "Reporting to Master, this is exactly what I wanted to tell you. It's just as you said, no matter how I fly, I just keep circling in one place."
"It feels like a mysterious force is keeping me within a certain range, and I can't break through an invisible boundary!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "It seems that when this barrier was designed back then, it was already fixed. Anyone or anything that enters the barrier will never be able to get out."
"I'm sure those demonic beasts must have entered the oasis. Even with my Demonic Bone Saber, I can't sense their location due to the barrier's power!"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle suddenly said, "Master, I have a premonition that if you let me swallow those two Dragon Tears, perhaps I will be able to see the oasis."
"..." Dragon Tears?
Reminded by the Sky-Breaking Eagle, Cheng Xiaofan immediately remembered that in his dream last night, he had transformed into a dragon and lay in a vast expanse of water.
Due to inexplicable emotions, he shed two tears, which solidified into pearl-like substances.
When he woke up, he vaguely felt that these two Dragon Tears might be helpful to him on this trip to Fuzhou, and he had kept them.
Could these two tears be meant for the Sky-Breaking Eagle?
It was truly laughable!
In the eyes of the Sky-Breaking Eagle, he seemed to have no secrets hidden!
Even the two Dragon Tears that appeared in his dream were known to this divine eagle!
It seemed that even the divine soul fusion he and his goddess often displayed in the dragon boat had not escaped this Sky-Breaking Eagle.
Forget it!
Fortunately, this was his own divine eagle!
No matter what secrets it had, it wouldn't tell everyone.
Besides, no one else could understand its language except himself.
The Sky-Breaking Eagle was right. After all, it was a divine bird from Earth's prehistoric era. With the help of the two Dragon Tears, it might truly be able to enter the oasis in the desert.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately took out the two Dragon Tears and handed them to the Sky-Breaking Eagle, smiling, "These are Dragon Tears. Swallow them and see if they have the effect you predicted."
"Okay, Master, I will swallow them now!"
Upon seeing the two Dragon Tears, the Sky-Breaking Eagle's eyes lit up. As if it had found a treasure, it opened its mouth and swallowed them in one gulp.
Unexpectedly!
After the Sky-Breaking Eagle swallowed the two Dragon Tears, it was instantly enveloped in a bright light.
"Chirp—"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle let out a long cry, its body flashed, and it instantly disappeared.
"Sky-Breaking Eagle, where are you?"
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan called out a few times but received no response from the Sky-Breaking Eagle.
What!
What was going on?
Had this Sky-Breaking Eagle run into trouble?
It wasn't even responding to my calls!
This had never happened before!
"Sky-Breaking Eagle, Sky-Breaking Eagle..."
Cheng Xiaofan called out a few more times, but there was still no sign of the Sky-Breaking Eagle.
He immediately thought, had the Sky-Breaking Eagle successfully entered the oasis, and the barrier's power had blocked its spiritual communication ability?
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was lost in thought, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: could he communicate with the Sky-Breaking Eagle in his dreams?
