Chapter 550: Opportunity in Yellow Sand City
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The land of yellow sand was also called the land of death. Back then, it was said to be a distance of 50 to 60 li. If one was lucky, they could cross it in a day. The children were traveling to learn, and they had brought many people with strong martial arts skills. Of course, they dared to attempt it. After all, only the skilled were bold.
Unexpectedly, it was more than 50 to 60 li wide. The group walked for ten days and ten nights, but they did not see a single person. Fortunately, their carriage was big enough and could hold enough food for them to eat for two months.
However, it was not considered anything delicious.
Little All Yu originally wanted to eat and live with everyone. After learning her secret, Qin Huai covered for her everywhere so that she could take food out from the spatial pocket.
Qin Huai did not eat her food at all and only ate like everyone else.
Ten days and ten nights later, they encountered a group of sand snakes. Although they were not as big as the python in the past, they were still much larger than ordinary snakes.
Because they did not bring the little lamb along, these snakes were not very obedient. At the price of the three of them being bitten, they killed this group of snakes.
Meatball suggested that they bury the snakes in the ground, but Wang Wulang and the others felt that it was a pity and secretly roasted them to eat when it was dark.
In the end, Wang Wulang, Wang Qilang, and Chi She were all poisoned for some reason and fell unconscious. Under Meatball’s hint, Little Ah Yu extracted the antidote from the snakes and combined it with the nutrient fluid to save them.
After this incident, Wang Wulang was taught a lesson. He felt that he had to follow Little Sister Ah Yu firmly and not act on his own.
Later on, they walked for more than half a month but still did not walk out of the yellow sand.
However, along the way, they encountered many animals and plants in the desert. According to the distribution characteristics of these animals and plants, Qin Huai deduced that this place was a naturally formed array formation. Outside, it looked like it was only 50 to 60 li, but in fact, this was a thousand li of yellow sand.
The ancient Chinese divination system known as Qimen Dunjia and the study of negative spiritual forces are distinct practices, but Great Chang did not pay much attention to it. It was an unorthodox subject. Wang Sanlang knew a little about it, and Wang Wulang had barely started understanding. Wang Qilang and Little Ah Yu were even more confused.
As for Qin Huai, he had dabbled in a lot. He brought everyone to start with the initial knowledge and then study it in depth. After studying it together for three to five days, Little Ah Yu had a flash of inspiration and found a door in the array formation.
As soon as they entered, they discovered Yellow Sand City, a desert city comparable to Great Chang’s capital in size. There was a lively street market and many missing people.
Young Master Ning was discovered among them.
Everyone here had no self-awareness. It was as if their life trajectory had been fixed by someone. They only did and said the same thing every day until they completely collapsed and were buried under the yellow sand.
After arriving at Yellow Sand City, because of the special terrain, Meatball’s signal was intermittent and could not be contacted.
The City Lord of Yellow Sand City and his two personal guards were the only people who remained conscious enough and could control hundreds of thousands of people in Yellow Sand City.
The time that this Land of Death had existed was immeasurable. It might have been hundreds or thousands of years.
The people here had no worries or troubles. Because they did not have their own thoughts, all of them lived by a monogamous system. Every couple had given birth to at least two children.
Moreover, there was basically no one who was alone. When they reached a certain age, they would automatically look for the opposite sex and match up to become husband and wife to have children.
If one side was no longer around, they would continue to match automatically.
Their children were also very easy to raise because their thoughts were also controlled. They did not cry or make a fuss. They had no desires and grew up eating and drinking by themselves.
After the City Lord saw Little Ah Yu, he insisted on making her stay as his daughter because he was too lonely.
Of course, Little Ah Yu did not agree. She even persuaded the City Lord to go out of Yellow Sand City and meet ordinary people.
However, the City Lord only cared about his own thoughts and even chose all kinds of good-looking people from the city to be Little All Yu’s slaves. Young Master Ning was one of them.
In order to protect Little Ah Yu, the Wang Family brothers were injured by two guards. Their wills were almost broken by the strange power in the city.
After learning that Qin Huai was Little All Yu’s little husband, the City Lord even threw Qin Huai into the dead land of Yellow Sand City to test his mind.
After Little Ah Yu stopped him, the City Lord did not force her. Instead, he doted on her in all kinds of ways and raised her like a daughter.
In the end, the City Lord saw that Little Ah Yu’s will was also a little infected by the aura of the city, so he gave her the only thing that could keep her conscious in Yellow Sand City and let her leave at the last moment.
It was a rock that felt like sand. At night, it would absorb the moonlight and glow.
It had a very strong ability to prevent interference. It could even block Meatball’s signal transmission.
This thing allowed Little Ah Yu to complete a mission and obtain the reward of another increase in physique and 300,000 points.
Meatbail said, [This thing should belong to the Origin World. I don’t know why it ended up here. It’s very ordinary in the Origin World. It’s best if it’s not taken by other humans, let alone exist in the human world.]
“All, then should 1 give this to the Origin World?” Little All Yu asked.
[I can’t hand it over now. This can’t be transmitted through time and space. It will have an irreversible impact on the worlds along the way.]
Of course, Meatbail could bring this thing back to the Origin Space, but it would never do that.
It would not leave Ah Yu anymore unless it ceased to exist.
Hence, Little Ah Yu placed this thing in the spatial pocket and specially opened a place to bury the stone.
At that time, she thought that when she became old in the future, this thing could be brought back to the Origin World by the elf.
On the other hand, after the City Lord of Yellow Sand City gave the item to Little All Yu, he became muddle-headed and became a cold and heartless City Lord. He repeated the basic trajectory of the City Lord every day.
Young Master Ning also followed his previous orders and pestered Little Ah Yu every day to serve her.
Little All Yu barely woke up Wang Wulang and the others. Just as they were about to leave, Yellow Sand City encountered a beast tide.
All kinds of animals attacked Yellow Sand City. They finally understood why there were so many human and animal bones in the city. It was because of the beast tide from time to time.
The City Lord had lost his will. Without the ability to command, Little Ah Yu was given the influence of the City Lord, and she led the children to command the battle for the first time.
However, even with Qin Huai around, their practical ability was not enough. They were almost flattened by the beast tide a few times.
Yellow Sand City suffered heavy casualties, losing nearly 10,000 people.
The children were deeply traumatized and felt guilty, so they focused more on researching strategies and finally won.
Just as they were about to leave Yellow Sand City, an even more powerful sand python and scorpion appeared. Everyone dealt with them seriously, but they were still no match for them.
Little All Yu and Meatbail discussed ways to deal with it, but Little Ah Yu was almost injured.
At the critical moment, the City Lord, who had already lost his consciousness, suddenly appeared and blocked the fatal blow for Little All Yu..
