“Alright, Fatty, stop thinking about those sheep!”
“This place isn't safe. We'll just spend the night here and leave. No need for bloodshed!”
Seeing how Wang Fatty was getting a bit greedy, Bai Tian Yu couldn't help but appease him.
After all, there were desert army ants here, and Bai Tian Yu wouldn't dare gamble that Wang Fatty wouldn't attract them if he killed a sheep.
Even with this sandstorm, who knows if the desert army ants would dare come out.
Besides, there was a desert army ant queen behind them, which was even more troublesome.
What we need now is rest, not trouble.
“Alright, but I'm going to hunt one before we leave!”
While agreeing to Bai Tian Yu's suggestion, Wang Fatty still had his mind set on the yellow sheep, making Lao Hu speechless on the side.
This gluttonous fatty only cares about eating!
“Well, you'll have to get up earlier than those sheep then!”
He wants to hunt sheep? Who knows when the sandstorm will stop?
This is the desert army ants' nest. Once the sandstorm stops, all the animals here will probably flee.
Animals have a much stronger sense than humans. If it weren't for the sandstorm, these animals wouldn't come here.
“Alright, everyone, get some rest. We need to continue our journey tomorrow.”
“Judging by the intensity of the sandstorm, someone needs to keep watch. We can't be buried without anyone noticing.”
“The three of us will keep watch tonight.”
“I'll go first, Lao Hu last!”
Ignoring Wang Fatty, who was still lost in his daydreams, Bai Tian Yu said.
“Okay.”
“We'll do it your way. Fatty, stop dreaming!”
“Get some sleep, we have a long journey ahead tomorrow!”
Kicking Wang Fatty, who was still lost in his dreams, Lao Hu lay down in his sleeping bag.
“Old man, if you're worried about the camels, go check on them now.”
“Don't bother people in the middle of the night!”
Looking at An Li Man, Bai Tian Yu said.
“It’s fine, I checked on them before I came in. Everything’s okay. You guys get some rest too.”
Shaking his head, Old Man An Li Man also lay down on his blanket and began to rest.
In this era, there weren't many entertainment options, especially in the desert.
There was nothing to do, we ate, and the sandstorm outside was raging.
What else could we do besides sleep?
We couldn't do something that benefits both the mind and body, could we?
Like chess?
Unfortunately, Bai Tian Yu didn't bring any. Otherwise, it would have been a good way to pass the time.
Time passed quickly. Only Wang Fatty's snores were a bit loud.
It was making Bai Tian Yu speechless. That fat fool.
Lao Hu was amazing, he could actually tolerate Wang Fatty's snores.
“What, can't sleep?”
Feeling someone approach, Bai Tian Yu didn't even have to open his eyes to know who it was. It could only be Xue Li Yang.
“Hmm, can't sleep.”
Nodding, Xue Li Yang sat down beside Bai Tian Yu.
“Here, have some.”
Opening his eyes, Bai Tian Yu took a water flask out of his backpack and handed it to Xue Li Yang.
“What is this?”
“It’s not water, is it?”
Even before taking a sip, Xue Li Yang noticed something was different and asked with a puzzled expression.
“You’ll know when you open it!”
Shaking his head, Bai Tian Yu didn't answer Xue Li Yang's question.
As expected, Xue Li Yang opened the flask and took a whiff, her expression turning into one of surprise.
“You actually brought wine? Are you really not afraid of dying?”
Indeed, water resources are very scarce in the desert. It's rare for someone like Bai Tian Yu to bring alcohol when they don't need it.
“Oh, are you going to drink it or not?”
Seeing that Xue Li Yang wasn't thanking him but rather scolding him, Bai Tian Yu was instantly displeased and tried to take back his flask.
Xue Li Yang dodged Bai Tian Yu's hand and took a sip, complaining.
“You already gave it to me, why are you taking it back?”
“Don't be so stingy!”
Her last words were a bit playful, making Bai Tian Yu a bit helpless.
“Thank you!”
Taking another sip of wine, Xue Li Yang returned the flask to Bai Tian Yu and lay beside him, looking at his profile.
She was lost in thought for a moment.
“What's wrong, staring at me like that?”
Taking back the flask, Bai Tian Yu, without any hesitation, took a sip himself, asking curiously.
Xue Li Yang shook her head and said with a smile.
“To be honest, I've never asked about your past.”
“You only know that you have a master, but you know quite a bit about me, don't you?”
The reason why Xue Li Yang abandoned the archaeological team was partly because they were indeed a bit of a burden.
But another reason was Bai Tian Yu. This person, who wasn't a tomb robber, was sometimes more mysterious than a tomb robber.
Especially that Golden Light Spell, it was totally outrageous.
Having witnessed Bai Tian Yu using the Golden Light Spell to fight against the prehistoric giant salamander, Xue Li Yang was curious about Bai Tian Yu's past.
Of course, there was also that amazing thunder magic. But even if he couldn't learn the Golden Light Spell, what was he doing thinking about the Five Thunder Righteous Method?
Forget it, having lofty ambitions isn't a good habit.
“There's nothing much to talk about. Ever since I went down to the countryside during university, I haven’t…………”
“I also just came down from the mountain recently. Wang Fatty and Lao Hu dragged me down!”
After recounting his experiences, Bai Tian Yu looked at Xue Li Yang and smiled slightly.
“So, you learned the Golden Light Spell and Five Thunder Righteous Method by chance?”
“Yeah, I don't know how it happened.”
Bai Tian Yu was telling the truth. He really didn't know how he learned the Golden Light Spell and Five Thunder Righteous Method.
Even though he had been teaching Wang Fatty for many years, that guy still hadn't even grasped the basics, which made Bai Tian Yu realize that he was the only one who was special.
Maybe it was because he was a time traveler?
Maybe it was because of his strong mental power?
Maybe!
“What about you?”
Bai Tian Yu looked at Xue Li Yang curiously. Now that he was done, it was Xue Li Yang's turn.
“You're so curious about my experiences?”
Xue Li Yang smiled slightly and said.
“It’s not like we're strangers, just tell me.”
“You're shameless!”
Rolling her eyes at Bai Tian Yu, Xue Li Yang began to speak slowly.
“I’ve been living abroad. It wasn't until recently that I learned about my family’s problems…………”
“After my father disappeared, I discovered all of this, and I understood why my grandfather died so early!”
“This is one of the reasons why I came to the ancient city of Jingjue!”
