Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 415: Li Yan: You Are Only Allowed to Go For Half an hour
Sun Tianhao smiled insincerely. “If you can't win, just say so. Why are you making so many excuses?”
After saying that, he smashed the wine jar in his hand onto the ground. A strong smell of alcohol attacked their noses.
People from both sides stood behind the two of them. The atmosphere became tense.
At this moment, Sun Tianhao turned around and walked towards Chu Luo and Li Yan. As he walked, he threatened, “Muan Tian, I advise you to go back and sleep well tonight. Otherwise, if you cannot accept it after entering the desert, do not blame us for leaving you.”
With that, he stepped away.
After dark, the temperature suddenly became cold.
Unexpectedly, snow started to fall at this moment.
Chu Luo and Li Yan stood up as Sun Tianhao walked over.
Sun Tianhao said to Chu Luo, “Let's go together tomorrow.”
Li Yan replied, “We will go later.”
Sun Tianhao glared at her with dissatisfaction. “It is safer for you to follow the main group. Everyone will be guarding each other along the way. The desert is like no other place. How many people can you have? What if you face a sandstorm or something?”
Li Yan could not be bothered to answer him. He wrapped his arm around Chu Luo's shoulder and left.
When he walked to Sun Tianhao's side, he said in a low voice, “Think about how to watch over the Duanmu family and the Qin family first.”
With that, the two of them left first.
Sun Tianhao stood there and thought for a moment. He turned around and shouted at his men, “Brothers, let's go back.”
After shouting, he walked in the other direction.
Looking at the two groups of people who had left, one of them asked Duanmu Tian, ”Young Master Duanmu, do you want us to teach them a lesson?”
Duanmu Tian looked at him coldly. “Don't you think Zhang Donglai wasn't beaten bad enough today?”
When the person heard this, he suddenly shivered and stopped talking.
Duanmu Tian shook his head, who was slightly dizzy from the alcohol. With a dark expression, he said to everyone, “If you don't want to lose an arm or a leg, come back with me immediately. Don't wander outside.”
With that, he shook his head and left.
As Chu Luo and Li Yan walked away from the campfire, cold air attacked them from all directions.
Li Yan unbuttoned her coat and walked with her arms around Chu Luo.
Chu Luo looked at him and said, “It will be cold if you undress.”
“No. I drank a little wine before. I'm very warm.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she deliberately placed her hand on her chest. Indeed, he felt a heat radiating from his body.
“No one from the Qin family showed up tonight. It seems like the Duanmu family is really arrogant.”
“They want to go with the Sun family army. Tonight, Duanmu Tian came just to test the Sun family's attitude. Perhaps Third Master Duanmu had already spoken to Third Master Sun about this while we were eating barbecue.”
Li Yan's conjecture was quickly confirmed. As the two of them walked back, a bodyguard came to report to Li Yan. “Master, Third Master Duanmu went to look for Third Master Sun alone tonight.”
“What are they talking about?”
“Third Master Duanmu wants to go with the Sun.” family army
“How is Third Lord Sun's attitude?”
“Third Lord Sun agrees.”
Li Yan gestured for him to leave.
The two went back to their bedrooms.
Chu Luo was a little confused. “I think Third Master Sun won't agree.”
One should know that civilian and military positions are always at odds. Moreover, Third Master Sun had an explosive temper. When the time comes, if the people from the other two families do not listen to the orders, they will definitely be dealt with. Under such circumstances, Chu Luo was slightly surprised that they still wanted to leave with the Sun family.
“The Sun family originally planned to monitor the Duanmu family. If nothing goes wrong, the Qin family will look for Third Master Sun later.”
“It was good too. When the time comes, with people monitoring these two families, it will be difficult to play dirty.”
“Ya.”
......................
Snowflakes fluttered that night.
The sun rises here at nine or ten in the morning.
When the two of them woke up, the bodyguard reported.
“Master, Sun family, Qin, and Duanmu were gone half an hour ago.”
“We will go in one hour.”
“Ya.”
After the two of them ate, Li Yan carried Chu Luo to the truck parked beside them.
The truck was covered with cloth and they could not see what was inside.
“It's filled with water. How much can you keep there?”
Chu Luo pointed to the entire car. “It can fit everything.”
After saying that, he took out a Heaven-and-Earth pouch and opened it facing the car.
Li Yan had always known that this thing could hold many things. However, he was surprised to see it could hold so much water.
After Chu Luo stored the Heaven-and-Earth pouch, she asked, “Why are we carrying so much water?”
Li Yan replied, “For you to take a shower.”
When Chu Luo heard this, the corner of her lips could not help but curl up.
An hour later, Chu Luo and the others departed.
The troupe rides the car and motorcycle first, while the camel runs behind them. It was a relatively easy trip.
It was three to four in the afternoon, they had already traveled for one to two hundred kilometers.
At this moment, the desert was still calm.
However, after driving for more than an hour, traveling by car is not that easy anymore.
Lu Feng told the two of them, “We are dozens of kilometers away from the Karst landscape. This road is filled with rolling sand hills. Moreover, the sand on this road is soft. It will sink with little load, making the car very wasteful of oil.”
Li Yan asked the driver, “How much oil is left?”
“There are two barrels of oil in each car. If we travel according to the current terrain, we should stop the car after traveling at most a dozen kilometers. Only then will the oil be enough to make the trip home.”
“Then drive to somewhere near the Karst.” landscape
“Ya.”
Unexpectedly, the car took almost three hours to travel the distance of tens of kilometers.
Looking at the weathered landscape before them, one could not help but sigh at the incredible workmanship of nature.
The parking lot was indicated by Lu Feng.
When the car group passed, they only realized that there were already hundreds of cars and motorcycles parked there.
Li Yan wore a mask and veil for Chu Luo before getting off the car. Looking at so many cars, Chu Luo could only sigh. “There are so many cars. It seems like there were a lot of people who came before, but...why is everyone parking their car here? Is there no one driving around this Karst landscape?”
“No,” Lu Feng said to her. “Anyone with experience will know. The detour may take a few days.”
The terrain in the desert is magical.
Chu Luo nodded.
At this moment, Li Yan moved the communicator in his ear and said to everyone, “Everything, be prepared. We'll be in soon.”
Everyone carried their mountain bikes and held their camels as they walked towards the entrance to the Karst landscape.
Looking at the strange rocks inside, Chu Luo said as she walked, “According to logic, such a terrain should not appear in the desert. I didn't expect there would be such a large area here.”
“This used to be an oasis.”
Chu Luo understood.
After everyone had walked for nearly half an hour, Lu Feng gestured for everyone to stop.
“What's wrong?” Chu Luo asked.
“Medan here has changed. I came here a few years ago. It is no longer the same as I remember.”
There were roads everywhere here, but if someone took the wrong path, they would end up walking on a blocked path. At a time like this, an experienced person should take the lead.
Lu Feng took out something that looked like a compass from his hand and held it in his hand. He lay down on the ground and first twisted the object before sticking his ear to the ground and listening.
After about a minute, he stood up and pointed to a street. “Take this road.”
After saying that, he led them towards the path.
After walking for over half an hour, Chu Luo said strangely, “All the way, we actually did not find any trace of the person who came before us. It looks like it's true there's a big maze inside.”
“Can you tell what array this is?”
“I can't say for now. This is not a man-made labyrinth. Actually, this is not a labyrinth either. It's just a geological movement. I need to know the geological trajectory in it.”
Li Yan nodded and did not ask any further.
Everyone is walking for a little while. As it was almost dark, Lu Feng said to the two of them, “We can't go any further today. We should set up a tent before it gets dark. At night, the wind is very strong here, and there is a very scary sound.”
“What's scary sound?”
“The strange sound of wind blowing through the cracks in these rocks. Sounds pretty scary. When you sleep at night, cover your ears. Otherwise, you may not be able to sleep all night.”
Li Yan quickly found a flat spot and everyone gathered to set up a tent.
Chu Luo asked Lu Feng, “Wind is very strong at night. Will there be sandstorms?”
“Yes, but it will be blocked outside. Sand can't get in.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she already knew what to do. While Li Yan was setting up a tent with everyone, he quickly walked around and said to Li Yan, “Yan, I want to take a look and see what array is inside.”
If he could find these array patterns, they would be able to exit quickly.
Li Yan was a little worried about him.
Chu Luo shook her wrist towards him to show him the Phoenix Seal on top of him. He stood on his tiptoes and said in his ear, “There is a red light left by the Phoenix on your body. Unless you leave this space-time, I can find you wherever you are.”
Li Yan was relieved to hear it, but she still made a request. “You are only allowed to go for half an hour.”
“Good.”
Chu Luo walked away after saying that.
