Capítulo 1572: Chapter 1658: The Secret of the Great Desert
At this mont, they all lay on the ground, gazing up at the starry sky, and unexpectedly started singing.
“Brother ng, see if there’s any firewood around, call a couple of the guys to gather so, we’ll camp here for the night!”
Observing the surroundings, Su Xuan knew that Bu Daming had carefully chosen this place, located between two mountain hollows where the wind was minimal, making it quite a good resting spot.
“Alright!” Brother ng agreed, and called two people to help gather the stuff, as Su Xuan approached Bu Daming, offering him a cigarette with a smile.
“Brother Bu, impressive!”
Su Xuan gave him a thumbs up, expressing his admiration. Initially, Su Xuan didn’t quite understand why they chose to depart after the blemish, but now he roughly understood.
“Haha, young man, what do you an by this?”
Looking at Su Xuan, Bu Daming asked with so curiosity.
Su Xuan smiled faintly and, looking at the stars in the sky, said.
Before entering the desert, I was pondering why you would choose to travel at night and rest during the day. If I’m not mistaken, you’re taking us on a shortcut which has to be navigated using the sun, moon, and stars, otherwise, it’s too easy to make mistakes.
This should be Bu Daming’s secret, a path he discovered through years of experience. His choice to enter the desert today must be related to ti, as celestial bodies have certain cyclic patterns.
This is also why Su Xuan felt admiration for him; it is a very clever technique to be able to navigate the desert smoothly at night, a truly impressive feat.
“Haha, young man, you are even more remarkable. To be honest, I have led countless people into this desert over the past decade, and you are the only one who has figured out the problem, very impressive!”
Looking at Su Xuan, in that instant Bu Daming truly respected him, this guy was indeed extraordinarily smart, capable of discerning crucial details of the route in such a short period of ti.
“Actually, from entering the town to reaching our current position, it typically takes at least three days along the usual route. But years ago, I carved out this special path using celestial configurations, reducing the ti to about two to three hours. Traveling this road can achieve in three hours what the old route took three days to accomplish, which is astonishing indeed.
In a desert place, forget about three days, sotis even an hour can decide life or death. So seeing we can reach here in three hours is sothing truly remarkable. It extends our supplies by three days, easing concerns about water or food consumption.
Anyone who’s been in the desert knows water consumption is terrifying; for so many people over three days, the amount of water needed is unimaginable.
“Old man, so you’re saying we have crossed the long outer edge of the desert and entered the real desert!”

Su Xuan asked excitedly, thinking how incredible it was to reach the actual desert in such a short ti. It originally took him five days to get there, almost dying of thirst, yet this old man led everybody within three hours closer to the desert’s center, professionally sharp indeed.
“Pretty much, by tomorrow we can walk half a day’s journey more and truly enter the desert zone. But that’s when the real desert challenges, and difficulties, begin!”
Bu Daming spoke earnestly, revealing this only because Su Xuan asked him, seeing how different Su Xuan was, with a sharp mind and keen observation in limited ti.
“Brother Bu, the tasks ahead will be burdenso for you!”
Su Xuan said softly, intending to reach the desert center. According to what he knew, the Saintess and others also entered into the desert center for unknown reasons. He thought there couldn’t be anything worthwhile in such places, even if there were, it was not worth the risk.
“Haha, young man, we don’t know who’s troubling whom yet. Honestly, I didn’t want to co here. You seem familiar with such a place; desert winds during the windy season make it dangerous. Despite my long experience, it’s my first ti in the windy desert!”
At this mont, Su Xuan and Bu Daming sat on a small hill in the desert, watching the distant desolate scenery under the moonlight. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is significant. Su Xuan, protected by Dark Strength, was fine, while Bu Daming dressed up warmly like a dumpling.
“Then why did you enter the desert this ti? For money?”
Su Xuan asked curiously, intrigued by Bu Daming, an interesting character.
“Haha, you could say that, but not entirely. They offered a high price this ti, and this trip would outweigh all my previous; however, the real reason is my curiosity towards the legend.”
“Legend, what do you an?”
Su Xuan inquired curiously, sensing Bu Daming had another motive, piquing his interest indeed.
“You didn’t ask them about it?”
Bu Daming was curious about Su Xuan, becoming more intrigued by the young man.
“Haha, why ask? My responsibility is just to ensure their safety!”
Su Xuan smiled faintly. After speaking, Bu Daming respected Su Xuan even more, saying.
“Young man, indeed you’re open-minded. Actually, this thing is known to many in Miaojiang, not much of a secret; the legend of the Dragon Gate Flying Armor in this desert is widely known!”
“Dragon Gate Flying Armor, is it armor?”
Su Xuan scratched his head, curious about why so many were pursuing a piece of armor, finding it absurd. Even the Saintess entered here. Were they all just bored, coming all this way for a piece of armor?
