684 Natural Reason
Facing everyone’s doubts, before Xue Fanxin could explain, Little Lei started talking non-stop as if he knew everything.
“The words belong to English, a Western language. The consort happens to know it, so don’t doubt her. Everything she says is correct.
“As for the rock monsters, they might be powerful in your eyes, but for her, they are paper tigers. Only your consort can walk out of this place. Without her, all of you will die here.”
“Is… this true?” Heiyue still did not believe it, but even Little Lei, this arrogant guy, was so confident.
“Heiyue, I guarantee you that it’s true. Remember, you can’t doubt her, ever. Otherwise, you’ll suffer greatly.”
“Er… okay.”
Xue Fanxin smiled helplessly. She was speechless, but his explanation saved her a lot of trouble. “Heiyue, you should have come in contact with those rock monsters. Tell me about them.”
Although Heiyue was still worried, she did not have a better option. She could only believe Xue Fanxin. “Your Highness, those rock monsters are twice the size of a human. Their brute force is terrifying and even I can’t withstand a single punch from them. However, it’s strange. Those rock monsters only move outside the sandstone pit. They won’t step in here. That’s why we hid here.”
“Then why didn’t I see them when I came?”
“The rock monsters appear every three days for one hour. Apart from the sandstone pit, the entire desert is filled with rock monsters. Once people encounter them, they will definitely die. We were considered lucky. The first time we met them, we realized that something was wrong and fled. We ran to this sandstone pit and avoided a calamity.”
There were only a few people who were as lucky as them. Many had been killed by the rock monsters when they first arrived in this desert.
About ten thousand people had been sucked into the vortex and came to this huge desert. Now, only a few thousand people remain. People were dying every day.
When something strange happened in the Moon Burial Ridge, everyone thought that a precious treasure had appeared and gathered there. That was why so many people were trapped in this huge desert.
However, these people’s deaths were not worthy of sympathy.
Humans died for wealth while birds died for food. This was natural logic.
“When was the last time the rock monsters appeared?” Xue Fanxin asked again.
“Two days ago. If nothing unexpected happens, the rock monsters will appear tomorrow. After mastering the pattern of their appearance, many people will choose to avoid them and travel when the rock monsters are not active. They’ll be fine as long as they return here in time.”
“Tomorrow? Everyone, have a good rest. There might be a tough battle tomorrow.”
No one disobeyed Xue Fanxin’s orders. However, their hearts were heavy, especially Heiyue’s.
Heiyue had witnessed how powerful the rock monsters were. She did not want to see her brothers take risks, but absolute obedience was the first rule of their Black Shadow Guards. Therefore, even if there was a chance of death, she had to listen to Xue Fanxin’s orders.
