This was the longest conversation Cheng Xiaofan had ever had with Po Tianying via spiritual senses since they met.
However, this communication with Po Tianying through spiritual senses yielded the most useful piece of information: the oasis would automatically open its passage to the outside.
It was clear that the eighteen demonic beasts inside played a crucial role.
As for when it would open, there was no exact time, but Cheng Xiaofan couldn't rush it.
At this moment.
The sky was already bright.
The sun, just rising from the horizon, shone on the snow-covered Gobi Desert, reflecting a dazzling and eerie light.
Cheng Xiaofan knew that the spot he was standing on was within the sealed oasis.
Yet, all he saw was an endless stretch of Gobi Desert, and his Dragon Eyes could not glimpse even a speck of the oasis within.
When Cheng Xiaofan returned to the cave, Zhou Zhizheng and the special forces had already woken up.
"Wow, the snow outside is so thick!"
"Yeah, but it's so glaring in the sun!"
Listening to everyone's surprised discussions, Cheng Xiaofan quickly said, "If you don't want to go blind, don't keep looking at the snow on the Gobi Desert."
"I'm not trying to scare you, but the light reflected by the snow in the sun is very strange. Staring at it for too long can lead to blindness."
As soon as he finished speaking.
From a nearby cave came the panicked cries of several hidden black disciples: "Ah, not good, I can't see anything!"
"What's going on, why am I blind?"
"Heaven, what kind of place is this!"
The sounds reached them, and Zhou Zhizheng and the special forces couldn't help but gasp.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaofan had reminded them in time; otherwise, if their eyes had randomly looked at the snow, they would have gone blind too.
"Mr. Cheng, how could this happen?"
Zhou Zhizheng asked, "In that case, wouldn't we be trapped in the caves and unable to get out?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "This is a place sealed by a formation, so some abnormal situations are actually normal."
"Don't worry everyone, as the sun gets higher, this snow will melt quickly!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan took out a large glass tank of energy water from his space and called out, "Come, come, everyone drink some water. This is an energy water I refined using fruit ginseng. Drinking it can resist the damage to your eyes from the snow's light!"
Zhou Zhizheng and the others heard him, gathered around, picked up the glass tank, and drank it, one mouthful after another.
"This energy water is simply delicious!" some people exclaimed in amazement after drinking it.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled upon hearing this, "This energy water not only invigorates you but also has a remarkable effect on regulating and improving your body's functions!"
Hearing him say this, a special soldier immediately said, "Mr. Cheng, your energy water is truly amazing. I already feel refreshed all over after just a few sips!"
"When I look at the snow outside the cave again, the dazzling light reflected from it has become much softer."
Another soldier curiously asked Cheng Xiaofan, "Mr. Cheng, is that backpack of yours the legendary Qiankun Bag? It doesn't look big, but I noticed that once you put your hand in, you can take out a pile of things!"
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "My backpack looks too ordinary on the outside. As you said, it's indeed similar to the legendary Qiankun Bag. You could even fit a mountain inside it!"
"You can rest assured about one thing: I have stored a large amount of fresh ingredients in my Qiankun Bag. No matter how long we are delayed in this Gobi Desert, food and drink will not be a problem!"
Although more than a hundred special soldiers were gathered here, fortunately, Cheng Xiaofan's space, in addition to storing food, had enough lobsters and immortal fish in its pond.
More importantly, Cheng Xiaofan had recently discovered that the cross-dimensional portal in his space pond could, according to his will, introduce various aquatic products from Bai Mang Lake, and even from the East Sea.
In other words, the food supply for these more than a hundred special soldiers was not a problem at all.
The food that these special soldiers had prepared when they rushed to the area was all destroyed because a helicopter accident caused an explosion.
Their biggest worry was that if they were trapped in the Gobi Desert, food would become the biggest problem.
Man is iron, rice is steel!
If they were delayed in this Gobi Desert for a few days without any food or water, they would likely all starve to death here.
Now, upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, they were greatly relieved.
"My God, this is great! We no longer have to worry about starving to death in the Gobi Desert!" some even cheered on the spot.
Zhou Zhizheng chuckled and said to everyone, "Do you know, there are two sayings that have been circulating in the martial arts world: anyone who can walk with Mr. Cheng will have good luck!"
"Of course, if bad people encounter Mr. Cheng, they will be plagued by continuous misfortune!"
His words elicited another round of laughter from everyone.
This laughter reached Lei Erde's cave, and a hidden black big shot frowned and muttered, "What good thing has happened to those people over there to be making so much noise?"
Lei Erde heard this and said with a dark face, "Being trapped in this Gobi Desert, unable to even leave the cave, what is there to be so cheerful about?"
"That kid named Cheng is very cunning. They are probably deliberately acting so happy to provoke us!"
Another big shot nodded and said, "Boss is right. This vast expanse of white snow will blind you after just a few glances. We can only be stuck in this cave, so what's there to make a fuss about!"
"Boss, I feel this place is really too strange!"
Another big shot sighed with a worried face, "You know, last night, the beef jerky, bread, and mineral water we brought were frozen so hard they were like iron, completely impossible to chew.
"After a night, with such low temperatures, this food and water suddenly turned rotten and became inedible. The smell alone makes me dizzy. This is too abnormal!"
"If we get stuck here for a few days, we'll be starved unconscious!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Erde's face instantly darkened.
He said, "We don't have food, do Cheng Xiaofan and the others have anything to eat?"
"Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must persevere. Moreover, we cultivators of the Hidden Black race have an additional system, which is the 'Triumph of Spirit' method."
"As long as we can think about entering the oasis in the desert and obtaining the secret of eternal life from its plants, what kind of predicament can we not overcome?"
"Yes, boss is right. The 'Triumph of Spirit' method is indeed a treasure that we hidden black cultivators later stole from Ah Q."
The former big shot immediately echoed, "Even if we have no food to fill our stomachs, with this treasure alone, we can last for more than ten days. In this regard, Cheng Xiaofan and those from the Martial Arts Bureau are no match for us!"
