660 Something Like That
With her reminder, Heiyao and Heiran dodged the falling rocks in time. Their bodies fell even faster, so fast that it was unbearable, and they no longer had the ability to dodge the rocks.
Just as everyone was unable to resist, there were suddenly a few bangs, followed by a few tragic cries.
“Ah…”
“Cough, cough…”
Heiyao was sprawled in the sand. His mouth was filled with dust, and he coughed for a long time.
Xue Fanxin and Heiran’s situation was not much better. They also fell into the sand. After crawling out with difficulty, they spat out the sand in their mouths.
“Where is this?” Heiran observed her surroundings. She saw an endless desert without a single green plant in sight. At most, she could see a few large rocks buried in the sand. There was no other living thing.
When the wind blew, sand and dust flew.
“It’s actually a desert this time.” Xue Fanxin tidied up her body and looked at the endless desert. She could not tell north from south.
Her sense of direction was already bad. In such a damned place, it was even more so. This was likely an illusion. Perhaps all the directions were fake. Therefore, the direction was not important at this moment. The priority should be to find a living person to ask about the situation.
“Your Highness, are you okay?” Heiran came to Xue Fanxin and asked about her well-being first.
“It’s okay. I’m fine.” Xue Fanxin continued to clean the sand on her body. “Heiran, Heiyao, are you guys okay too?”
“I’m fine.”
“I’m fine too. Cough, cough…” Heiyao was a little miserable. He had become a sandman and took a while to clean himself up. Feeling thirsty, he took out the water bottle he had brought with him and drank a few mouthfuls. However, he realized that the water bottle was already empty.
Oh no, this was an endless desert. It was very difficult to find a water source. He and Heiran were not water cultivators, so they could not use spirit energy to condense water. This meant that they would lack water here.
Heiyao suddenly recalled that Xue Fanxin had prepared a large amount of water and food before she set off. Otherwise, he would definitely be worried.
Fortunately, the Consort had foresight.
“Your Highness, did you already know that this place lacks water and food?”
“Something like that.” Xue Fanxin had also drunk a lot of water. She also checked how much water she had with her and was relieved to see that the amount was quite considerable.
She could also use the water element and spirit energy to condense water. However, that would consume a lot of energy. It was only fine in small quantities.
In such an unknown and dangerous desert, it was best to save your spirit energy for when you encountered danger.
“What do you mean? Did you already know what was going on here?”
“Something like that.”
“Your Highness, can you say something else?”
“Why don’t you look for the survivors? I won’t let you starve.”
Although she had experience, every tomb was different. She could not be sure what kind of danger was in the third tomb, so she could not give Heiyao an accurate answer.
