Chapter 457: An Extraordinary Night

ed her head and spoke with conviction.Only then did Xiao Chenghe truly look at his daughter, and upon seeing her, he was taken aback. It seemed that his daughter's ambition was even greater than his o...Under the blazing sun, a team of about fifty to sixty people from the three hidden families gathered together. Each person rode a camel, slowly walking between the sand dunes, like a long thin line. 。For some reason, Qin Luo'yan always felt a vague gaze upon her, but whenever she tried to find the source of that gaze, she could never find a trace. 。The wind picked up, swirling dust everywhere. She wrapped a silk scarf around her mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of bright eyes visible. Unintentionally, she glanced back, but still couldn't find the trace of her target. At the end of the line, an old man, thin and withered, was leaning on his camel. He seemed tired and even fell asleep on the camel's back, swaying precariously. 。Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but call out to the person beside her, "Xiaolong" 。"

Small Dragon rode closer on his camel and asked, "Is there something wrong, miss"

“Please go check on that old man, make sure he doesn’t fall off the camel.”

"Qin Luoyan frowned, the words that came out surprised even herself." 。

Xiaolong was also taken aback, his eyes seemed to have something in them, but he didn't say anything. He just responded with a sound and then rode his camel to the end of the team.

Qin Luo glanced at them from afar. She saw Xiao Long wake the old man, and the old man even glanced in her direction before he relaxed and looked away. 。But when she looked away and turned her head, she didn't see that in the old man's eyes, there was clearly more than just gratitude. 。As the team approached the treasure trove near the source of Gengjin, the atmosphere became noticeably heavy. Even the heads of the three great clans, who had been chatting amiably before, now wore solemn expressions, each seemingly deep in thought, plotting something... 。As twilight approached, the group finally saw the rolling mountains in the distance. In the desert, such a mountain range was almost miraculous. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that there could be such a large oasis in the desert, and even form mountain ranges 。Although it looks close, I reckon there's still half a day's journey. Since it's already dark today, I think we should camp here for the night and set off into the mountains tomorrow. 。“Rong Ye walked in the front, looked at the surrounding terrain and said” 。My opinion is the same as Master Rong's, it's too dangerous to go up the mountain at night. 。And look at those strange little sand dunes in the distance. The color of the sand is different from other places, too. It must be where those knowledgeable people in town mine the outer perimeter's Gengjin. 。Ling Shu also said 。Following his guidance, everyone indeed saw the abnormality of those small dunes. If they were all places where Gengjin had been mined, then the underground structure was also very complex. If there were pits, it would be dangerous to travel at night. Falling into a pit in the desert, even if one's martial arts skills were high, there might not be a chance of survival. 。Li Yunfan nodded slightly, agreeing with the opinions of the other two families. 。The heads of the three great families had already formed a unified opinion, and naturally no one dared to refute it. Therefore, everyone dismounted their camels and began setting up tents. 。Qin Luoyan, with Xiaolong's help, jumped off the camel. Together they helped Niwan down as well. In this caravan, the three of them were considered guests, so it was not their turn to do any manual labor. They found a quiet place nearby and sat down. 。The old man who was in charge of roasting the whole lamb also got off his camel, but there was no whole lamb left today, only some shriveled lamb legs and the like. However, his skills seemed pretty good. Even though they were dried lamb legs, after he processed them, they still exuded a steady stream of fragrance. 。Qin Luoyan suddenly felt a surge of gratitude towards Rong Ye. At least, in bringing this old chef into their group, he had made the wisest decision. Compared to gnawing on hard biscuits, this way of life was clearly much more luxurious. 。

Because tomorrow they will reach their final destination, this night feels somewhat heavy. After hastily finishing dinner, everyone returned to their tents to rest. On the surface, it seems like everyone is simply resting, but if you look closely, you'll notice that in each family, there are always one or two people moving between the tents.

Qin Luoyan had a slight smile on her lips, sitting in front of her tent. She turned to the little dragon beside her and asked, "In the eyes of a scout, what do you think they are doing"

The little dragon didn't expect her to ask suddenly like this. Admi admiration flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "Miss, your vision is as sharp as an eagle's. You actually saw through it."

Qin Luoyan lightly smiled, without speaking, she waited for him to continue. 。“Yes, those people who move between the tents, they seem to be doing different things on the surface, like borrowing fire, giving some water, taking a blanket, and so on. Although the people passing through are always different, I think the message they convey is always the same.” 。 。"Delivering a message" Qin Luoyan blinked, but her expression remained unchanged. She thought for a moment and then added, "It seems that the three major families have all made preparations in advance. I just don't know how many people will be able to truly enter the source of the Gengjin Treasure tomorrow." 。“Well,” Xiaolong nodded, “You’re even more astute than I imagined.” 。Girl, you should also go to rest quickly. Tomorrow will definitely be unsettled. Tonight... I'll stay at the open door. 。" Qin Luoyan didn't bother with polite greetings either. After all, this was a critical time, and she couldn't guarantee that the night would be safe. She wasn't skilled in martial arts, and Ni Wan was now practically disabled, so if anything were to happen, their ability to protect themselves would be very troublesome. Having Xiaolong guarding them provided an extra layer of security." 。Then you're going to have your work cut out for you. 。Qin Luoyan politely said: 。"It's nothing, it's what I should do" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。“Xiao Long didn't even dare to bow. In his heart, protecting Qin Luo Yan would be his lifelong mission.” 。Qin LuoYan nodded at him and then entered the tent. Inside the tent, Ni Wan had her eyes wide open, not a shred of sleepiness in her. 。Perhaps it was Qin Luoyan's illusion, but these two days, she always felt that Nivan looked at her with strange eyes. Several times, she even saw Nivan's lips move, but when she expected Nivan to say something, Nivan turned her head away and said nothing in the end. 。At night, it was indeed a bit unsettling. 。The next morning, Qin Luo Yan walked out of the tent and saw Rong Ye commanding a few people to clean up the bloodstains around several tents. 。She saw Xiaolong walking toward her from that direction and asked, "What happened last night"Xiaolong frowned and said, "A few wild wolves came looking for food last night and bit a few people" 。"Wild wolves" Qin Luoyan's face was full of surprise. The people from the three hidden families this time were all martial arts masters, and they should not be harmed by just a few wild wolves. 。If you think "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" is good, please copy and paste the following URL to share with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!
