The genius talisman doesn't want to work hard

Chapter 296 Entering the Desert 【Ticket Request】

When there are too many people, the speed of movement will be slow. Coupled with the delay of various things on the road, it took more than half a month for the Demon Slayer Army to reach the starting point.

Standing at the junction of the oasis and the desert, Tang Mo sighed: "This speed is much slower than I expected."

Fu Yunxiu: "But there were basically no casualties, and everyone was very confident."

Tang Mo laughed, "This is not considered a departure, if we lose confidence at this point, we might as well just turn around and go back."

"I want to tell you." Fu Yunxiu looked at her tenderly, "Don't think too much too far, just do what is right in front of you. There are so many people, there is no need to put all the pressure on your shoulders superior."

The smile on Tang Mo's face faded slowly, after a moment of silence, she said, "Let me try."

Like it or not, this thing is beyond her control.

Fu Yunxiu hugged her, "Give them a little more trust, they are old fritters, not as fragile as you think."

Tang Mo hummed, feeling a rare relaxation in more than half a month.

She was really tense.

Tang Mo also knew that it was not good to be a general of the first army, and her emotions would probably affect the people below. Perhaps the Demon Slayer Army's desperate efforts to kill the blood demon also meant to make her feel at ease.

After taking a short rest, with the sound of the dragon chant of the red fire, the Demon Slayer Army set off again.

Tang Mo couldn't help laughing, "Chi Huo seems to like his job very much."

Fu Yunxiu also had a bit of a smile in his eyes, "Well, Chi Huo said he has a sense of accomplishment."

Tang Mo blinked and understood.

An army of more than 3000 people stopped or walked, attacked or retreated with the dragon chant of Chihuo, wouldn't this be a sense of accomplishment?It's more like a general than her general.

The most dangerous thing in the Death Desert is the sandworm. Generally, an adult sandworm is more than ten meters long, with a round mouthparts on the head, and the mouthparts are densely packed with sharp teeth.

The sandworm's skin is very tough, and the ravines on it are a kind of innate talent and secret technique, and its defense is particularly strong.It is difficult for ordinary attacks to cause damage to them.

The most important thing is that sandworms belong to group living monsters, and there are hundreds of them when they are dispatched, or even hundreds of them.They can live by eating sand and stones on weekdays, and when they encounter other monsters occasionally, they treat it as extra food.

The second is the sandstorm and the quicksand vortex. Generally, if humans and monsters are involved, the only result is death.

The most common danger is some poisonous insects and scorpions that are unique to the desert. Even an emperor-level powerhouse cannot last long after being bitten.

In short, the desert of death is full of death traps everywhere.

Therefore, before entering the desert, the Demon Slayer Army put on a special anti-sand cloak from top to bottom, which tightly protected the head, face, neck, and palms.Except for the eyes, not an inch of skin was exposed.

Tang Mo looked up at the sun above his head, pursed his chapped mouth, and asked, "How long have we been in?"

Fu Yunxiu took a breath, "Three days."

Tang Mo was silent, it's only been three days, this place is really not for people.

Before entering the desert, they considered various dangers and prepared countermeasures.The only thing neglected is also the deadliest - they forgot to prepare enough water.

Tang Mo didn't expect that the Desert of Death could do this. Even water attribute fighters would find it difficult to extract water spiritual power from the surroundings.Instead, the desert seemed to be sucking water out of their bodies.

"Drink some water?" Fu Yunxiu looked at her distressedly, "I still have some here."

Tang Mo shook his head, "I can still hold on."

Fu Yunxiu looked at the identical yellow sand in all directions, and said in a deep voice, "It's really impossible to find a water source or an oasis quickly... Monster beasts are also fine, and beast blood can also quench your thirst."

Tang Mo didn't speak, she was also considering these methods.What makes her hesitate is that searching for these things will inevitably deviate from the original safe route. What if she encounters some irresistible danger or gets lost?
"I know what you're worried about." Fu Yunxiu persuaded: "Let's walk along the road first. If there is a water source in front of you, you don't have to worry about it. If there is no water source, then you can only plan for the worst."

Tang Mo sighed, turned his head to look back, and laughed angrily.

Most warriors love to drink, and there will be more or less stock in the storage space. Now that the water is gone, they start to replace water with wine, and they all drink up with a flushed face, but they are not drunk, but a little excited.

She saw the leader with a glance, took a deep breath, and Tang Mo shouted loudly: "Chu Yun come!"

The half-drunk Chu Yunlai shuddered all over, facing Tang Mo and stood at attention.The Demon Slayer Army, which was originally in a mess, also instantly quieted down.

Tang Mo's face sank like water, "You can't drink alcohol during the march, don't you know?"

Chu Yunlai hesitated and said, "I know, but everyone is too thirsty."

Tang Mo looked at him with dark eyes.

Chu Yunlai's heart trembled, "General, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't take the lead in drinking."

"Punish [-] military merits." Tang Mo said coldly: "All spirits in everyone's space will be confiscated. Sweet wine and fruit wine can be kept for later use, but you can't drink too much. This matter will be left to you."

Chu Yunlai straightened his expression, cupped his fists and said, "Take orders!"

The Demon Slayers were also relieved when they heard the words. Fortunately, only the spirits were confiscated.

The general was right. They were marching in the desert of death, and they might encounter a death crisis at some point. If they drank too much at that time, they would really die without knowing how to die.

I figured it out, everyone was very happy when they went to the wine jar, and they were restrained willingly, after all, it was for everyone's benefit.Besides, don't people leave something to quench their thirst?

After a while, everyone's spirits were cleared, and even the elders didn't keep them.

Tang Mo nodded in satisfaction, but his face did not relax at all. He said in a deep voice, "Rest where you are, and leave after the smell of alcohol dissipates."

Those who drank more than half immediately sat down guiltily to use their spiritual power to evaporate the alcohol.

Among them was Chu Yunlai.

Yunxi glanced at him through the crowd, thinking about it, but gave up after some hesitation.

Originally, she thought that Chu Yunlai defended her in front of Tang Mo before and insisted that she follow her because it was interesting to her, but during this time she felt that Chu Yunlai started avoiding her again.

Yunxi was secretly anxious and angry, wishing to get into Chu Yunlai's head and see what he was thinking.

Within half an hour, everyone was sober.

Before setting off again, Tang Mo said bluntly: "I have something to discuss with everyone. Everyone knows that the water problem is imminent, but now there are two choices."

"One is to continue to follow the planned safe route. If there is water, you will be thirsty. If there is no water, you will be thirsty. The second is to deviate from the safe route and take the initiative to find water sources. But you all know the danger of the desert of death. After going out, you can tell whether you can come back. No more."

Tang Mo looked at everyone, "How do you choose?"
