Yin-Yang Elental Force is sothing very special. Ling Xiao can sense that the techniques executed with Yin-Yang Elental Force beco even more terrifying in power.
Seeing Ling Xiao and Leng i approaching, those people, who had been relaxed, quickly ford a battle formation, watching them with vigilance.
Altogether, there were six people, two won and four n.
They had the typical dark skin of Black Crow Empire Martial Artists.
Even the won were the sa.
The beauty of won cos in two kinds.
One is a delicate vase.
The other is a powerful martial artist.
Clearly, the two dark-skinned exotic beauties in front of them possessed formidable combat strength not to be underestimated.
Of course, they posed no threat to Ling Xiao and Leng i.
"Folks, we’re martial artists heading to Black Crow City to study, but we got lost due to the Black Sandstorm. Don’t be nervous, we just want to ask for directions."
Because he didn’t fear the others, he could remain calm while asking questions.
Seeing Ling Xiao approach, the five people sized him up.
The other side didn’t seem to sense hostility from Ling Xiao and Leng i, so their vigilance eased slightly.
One of the won stepped forward, while the remaining five still stayed alert.
After all, in the Black Desert, you could et all kinds of people, and one wrong move could cost you your life.
These people obviously enjoyed the Black Desert life, so they had a unique sense of caution.
"Black Crow City is quite a distance from here. If you need a guide, we can help, but not for free. You know, hunting in the Black Desert isn’t easy,"
the woman said with a smile.
What she said was ticulous, sounding reasonable and fair.
After all, if you want soone to help you, it wouldn’t be fair to not offer sothing in return.
"Would Spirit Stones work?"
Ling Xiao asked.
He knew not to flaunt wealth, but facing these people, he truly wasn’t afraid.
"Of course. To guide you out of the Black Desert, the fee for a guide plus bodyguard is ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.
If you want to go directly to Black Crow City, that fee is doubled."
the woman said.
"Deal."
Ling Xiao agreed straightforwardly.
The woman saw Ling Xiao agree so decisively, and she breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "My na is Alan. I hope you can pay a 20% deposit first, how about it?"
"No problem."
To Ling Xiao, two thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones were nothing, and he wouldn’t haggle over such matters, especially since their request was reasonable.
After paying the two thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, the initial cooperation between the two parties was established.
The five people also put down their weapons, and a friendly expression appeared on their faces.
It seed they often made money in the Black Desert this way; it wasn’t a bad choice.
After a short rest at the Oasis, they set out.
Alan didn’t talk much. She didn’t even ask about Ling Xiao and Leng i’s background, as it was all about doing the job after being paid without needing to dig into people’s ancestry.
But on the way, Alan told Ling Xiao sothing very crucial.
"Since the Raven Queen and Prince Jiumozhiyan were killed in battle, the Empire has been in chaos, with factions rising and warlords clashing endlessly. This place we are in is Black Desert General’s territory. Be careful. If you encounter his people, avoid them as much as possible, or we won’t be able to help you."
Black Desert General, huh?
Ling Xiao was indeed unfamiliar with the Black Crow Empire; he knew nothing about who this Black Desert General was or how powerful he might be.
However, seeing Alan’s reaction, she seed truly fearful of this person.
"Black Desert General wouldn’t actively attack passersby, would he?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile, "After all, he was once a General of the Empire."
"Heh."
A man let out a cold laugh, seeming to find Ling Xiao’s question naive.
Alan sighed and said, "For the Black Desert General to amass a massive army, it’s not just passersby; even the citizens under his rule are targets for plundering. He’s extrely ruthless.
There were once martial artists from the Phoenix God Empire heading to Black Crow City who were caught. The n were made into at soup, and the won were forced to beco military prostitutes, even more terrifying than bandits."
"Really barbaric."
Ling Xiao had seen many cruel people, no matter how bloodthirsty. But the act of turning people into at soup was sothing rarely witnessed.
It seems this Black Desert General is truly savage and vicious.
He must be dealt with!
In Ling Xiao’s view, this Black Desert will eventually beco Heavenly Dynasty Empire’s territory. If soone like the Black Desert General is allowed to exist, it might just turn this place into Hell.
"Do you know where the Black Desert General resides?"
Ling Xiao suddenly asked.
Alan looked at Ling Xiao in surprise and earnestly advised, "Young man, don’t think you can play the hero just because you have so strength. That’s a very foolish thing to do.
The Black Desert General is incredibly powerful, with no rivals around here.
Not to ntion, he has four mighty generals under him, all exceptionally fierce.
Even his dozen sons are all experts.
You would stand no chance against any of them."
"Don’t worry, I won’t go looking for him. I was just thinking about how to avoid him."
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Follow us. If we’re lucky, it’s still easy to avoid them."
Alan stopped talking and instead observed the surrounding situation watchfully as she cautiously advanced.
"Soone’s there!"
Ling Xiao suddenly halted, looking ahead warily.
Alan and others were confused, for they didn’t see anyone.
"Young man, you’re too timid. Don’t be alard by nothing,"
said a dark-skinned male holding an unusual Long Spear, continuing forward as if to scout ahead.
However, at that mont, dozens of figures suddenly erged from the sand, many curved blades aiming at that dark-skinned man.
No matter how strong that man was, facing such a sudden attack, he couldn’t save his life. He was imdiately hacked into pieces.
Ling Xiao sighed helplessly. He had warned them, but they didn’t listen. What could he do?
"Damn it, it’s the Sand Bandits! Prepare for battle!"
Alan seed to take the lead. Seeing her companion killed, although sorrowful, she imdiately entered combat mode.
Yet before they could prepare for battle, the terrifying sound of hoofbeats arrived, followed by rolling black sand. Alan’s calm face showed extre fear.
Ling Xiao looked up, confused about what was happening.
From afar ca black warhorses carrying regular troops.
Upon arrival, without a word, they launched an assault on the dozens of Sand Bandits.
Their powerful combat capabilities fully manifested at that mont, quickly obliterating those Sand Bandits.
However, Ling Xiao felt these people weren’t there to help them.
Greed shone in the eyes of those people.
After the savage slaughter ca the scavenging.
Not even a piece of the Sand Bandits’ clothing or possessions was left behind. They seed like the real bandits.
