Chapter 1050 Unable to Contain
This lake seems like it's dead, with greenery only in the central area.
Everywhere else, it's a withered yellow.
This is the case for miles around.
Only near the lake shore does green appear.
Bro Lake is enormous, covering an area of about a hundred miles.
Now, under the blazing sun, the temperature outside the car has reached a terrifying sixty-plus degrees.
If we didn't have the physique of a martial artist, we would likely pass out upon stepping out of the car.
Xia Liu parked the car under a patch of withered yellow plants.
In this kind of place, without any vegetative cover, it wouldn't take long before the body's moisture is evaporated by the high heat.
What puzzled Xia Liu greatly is that this mysterious lake is not only huge but also possesses a mysterious power that can actually block the intrusion of divine sense.
It seems that this lake might indeed be connected to Loulan.
Loulan disappeared due to a mutation.
And the entrance is at Bro Lake, but how to enter Loulan is a complete mystery.
"What a beautiful scenery."
Facing the sapphire blue waters within the desert, Zhao Li and Xiao Fei marveled from the bottom of their hearts.
"The scenery is beautiful, but entering here brings countless dangers, so we must stay vigilant."
Yao Kun never let down his guard, having reached this level of cultivation at such a young age.
It doesn't mean he is arrogant or complacent; on the contrary,
he is very cautious and wouldn't exert himself on things he's not confident about.
"Understood, Young Master Yao."
Zhao Li gave Yao Kun a sideways glance, this guy really knows how to spoil the mood.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ma Xing's expression changed.
"Brother Ma, what's wrong?"
Yao Kun asked in confusion.
"There's the sound of cars!"
"What! We've been followed."
Yao Kun had no doubt about Ma Xing's reaction, as Ma Xing had the strongest sense perception among everyone.
"It's not that group of vehicles, it's another set of people."
Once the car entered within two kilometers, Xia Liu immediately noticed.
Among this group of people, there are five Path-Entering Martial Artists and ten Heaven-Rank Warriors.
Far more formidable than the previous team.
And there were almost no other cultivation warriors, except for one Earth-Rank Warrior driving a vehicle.
"They're here!"
With a roar!
Suddenly, seven cars charged into everyone's view.
In no time, sixteen warriors parked and got out to find a shady place to cool off.
Like the previous team, these people had no interaction with Yao Kun and didn't even make a sound.
"Speechless, looks like we can't enter Loulan alone."
Yao Kun sighed secretly.
So many people had shown up on site; even if the Loulan entrance was found, a large number of warriors would pour in then.
This would definitely affect his own gains.
But there's no way around it.
Among these people, there are five incredibly strong experts.
If one unfortunately encounters them in Loulan, they probably wouldn't care about what one has behind them.
After all, that's an underground relic.
"If it's meant to be, it will be, if not, don't force it, opportunities belong to individuals."
"Hahaha! Brother Liu is right, since that's the case, why worry about so much!"
Yao Kun thought for a moment, greatly agreeing with Xia Liu's point.
If this opportunity doesn't belong to him, forcing it would be useless.
It might even cost him his life.
Ma Xing and Zhao Li had no objection. Although they were looking forward to Loulan,
they had heard various legends about Loulan since they were young.
Entering it is extremely dangerous, and they might not even make it out alive.
Even if they obtained a lot of spiritual medicine and treasures, without a life to enjoy them, they'd become useless.
"Let's set up a base first, then carefully study the entrance."
Saying that, Xia Liu had already started setting up a tent from the trunk.
The road ahead is long, Ye Xuan had prepared lots of supplies in the car.
Yao Kun and others also transferred some essentials from their cars to Xia Liu's place.
The remaining supplies were enough for them to live on for a few days.
Xia Liu was not worried; there were many things inside his storage ring.
Food and water are not a concern.
What needs to be done now is just to find the entrance to Loulan!
Upon setting up, Xia Liu and the others stayed by the lake for three days.
During this time, Xia Liu and Ma Xing even paddled a boat into the lake, trying to find special places.
But they found nothing.
As for those warriors camped further away, they also paddled boats into the lake but found nothing as well.
As time passed, the warriors became increasingly restless.
On the fourth evening, Xia Liu and Yao Kun were by the fire; in the evening, in this area, the temperature would drop rapidly to a terrifying low.
Without a fire, one must enter the car or the tent.
Zhao Li and Xiao Fei were resting in the car, while Ma Xing was inside the tent.
Feeling something amiss, Ma Xing immediately emerged from the tent.
At that moment.
A few figures walked over from the front.
"Five Path-Entering Experts, ten Heaven-Rank Warriors!"
Seeing the many figures in front, Ma Xing gritted his teeth tightly.
"Finally, they can't hold back any longer..."
Yao Kun showed a bitter expression. These people had refrained from disturbing them before.
On the fourth day, they finally ran out of patience.
"Young Master Yao, it's time to open the entrance to Loulan."
Mo Yuan had waited for four days, his patience exhausted.
Even though Yao Kun was the young master of the Yao Family, trifling with them like this would cause public wrath.
"Yao Kun greets Senior Mo."
Yao Kun knew Mo Yuan; they were from the same district.
The Mo Family was relatively small, but very powerful in the business world, considered equals.
"Young Master Yao, we all know the truth. Even if you enter Loulan in a few days, everyone will follow. It's better to open it now, and at that time, we'll give some of the treasure as a reward."
"Yes, Young Master Yao, please open it. Everyone's time is precious."
"Young Master Yao, please open it, I believe your time is more precious than ours."
"Late entrance or early, might as well go first and have more time to acquire treasures."
With Mo Yuan speaking up, many warriors expressed their true feelings.
They were also growing impatient.
Four whole days!
Eating nothing but dry food for four days, their eyes constantly on Yao Kun.
They were tired of it.
Plus, their supplies were running low.
At most, they could last another three days; without a supply replenishment, they'd have to leave.
But no one wanted to give up.
The opportunity was right in front of them.
They all suspected Yao Kun was using a delaying tactic, hoping everyone would leave and then he and his group would enter Loulan alone.
Even a bull, when beaten too much, would hit its owner.
Yao Kun trifled with them; did he really think this was Huachun City?!
On site, there were five Path-Entering Martial Artists and ten Heaven-Rank Warriors!
To kill him would only take a minute!
"Senior Mo, please don't misunderstand. If I knew the entrance to Loulan, I would've gone in long ago; why would I still be waiting here?"
Yao Kun explained helplessly.
"Humph! The map of Gulu Hermit clearly marked the entrance location, is it really good to toy with us like this!"
