Chapter 136: Attack from the Bat Clan

The five-person group looked at one other. They still could not believe they would meet another person in the middle of the desert.

“We’re on a mission from our clan to meet with another clan…”

“You’re meeting another clan in the desolated desert?” Li Mu frowned.

Either these people didn’t do their homework beforehand or they were just plain dumb.

It had been five months since Li Mu first entered the desolated desert. During the five months of flying, he had never come across another soul. That was why he was shocked when he heard the group was in the desert looking for another clan.

“No, we are supposed to continue walking east until we see a city.”

“No, even if you continue east, all you’ll find is still endless desert. Basically, it’s impossible for you to cross this desert even if you’re completely healthy,” Li Mu said.

It took him five months of flying to get to where he was, and he had wasted thousands of prenatal stones to achieve that. The power he had saved from the Check-in System was almost depleted as well.

Despite that, all he could see was still endless sand.

Even he was already on the brink of despair.

“But…”

The group was speechless once again.

‘Can any of us make it out alive if this keeps on?’

However, these people were a little hopeful when they noticed that Li Mu seemed completely fine.

Tian finally decided to tell Li Mu the truth. “We don’t have a choice,” he said. “Our clan has tasked us to ask for help from an acquainted clan in the outside world. Our clan will fall if we can’t find them…” He realized that if what Li Mu had said was true, then they would never get out of this desert no matter how far they traveled. There was only one way to survive.

And that was to beg Li Mu for help.

“Can you help us?” Tian got down on his knees. “You’ll be our clan’s savior if you can get our words back…”

Li Mu frowned. “Tell me the details.”

After a few minutes of explanation, Li Mu finally learned the whole story.

“Please help us!” Tian begged once again.

Li Mu shook his head. “I would if I could. It’s almost impossible for me to return too.”

He had been flying at top speed for the past five months. Li Mu had gone through many of his resources and rations. It was basically impractical and impossible for him to return.

The other problem was that Li Mu knew the clan that the Zhou family was looking for… It was the Xu Family.

The Xu Family had lost the key to the outside world for years. Even if they were willing to help the Zhou family, there was nothing they could do.

“Is there nothing you can do? We can offer you any treasure from our clan.”

“I know the clan you’re searching for. To tell you the truth, I don’t have the intention of going back,” Li Mu sighed and told the group about the Xu Family.

“Is God abandoning our clan?” Tian let out a helpless cry after learning the situation the Xu Family was in.

The others collapsed as well. It was as if the energy they had just found had left them just as quickly.

Li Mu remained silent. He understood the burden that these five people were carrying.

Despite having the fate of their clan resting on their shoulders, there was nothing they could do.

“You’re just joking with us, right?” Zhou Yun asked, hoping that Li Mu was just playing with them.

Another man from the group quickly pulled Zhou Yun back. “Yun, what are you talking about? Does this sound like a joke?”

They still had to rely on Li Mu to survive. If they somehow offended Li Mu, their clan would definitely meet its demise.

“Perhaps they will find the key when we reach Muyang City,” Tian said hopefully.

Li Mu sighed. “Are you sure you want to bet on that? Do you think fate is really on your side? The chance of the Xu Family finding the key is much lower than the chance of you all making out of the desert alive.”

“But…”

“Just turn back. There has to be another way for your clan.”

“We…”

“I still have some food and prenatal stones with me,” Li Mu said. “It’s not a lot, but it would be enough for you to go back to where you came from. There has to be another way.”

“T-thank you…” Zhou Yun said gratefully.

“Of course, I would like you all to be my guide in return,” Li Mu said.

“Will do. Please give us some time to discuss.” Seeing that they could not persuade Li Mu, the group decided to have a discussion.

Li Mu moved out of their way and lay on top of a tiny hill.

“Check-in,” he whispered.

“Congratulations on checking in at the Ancient Warzone. You have been awarded two thousand years’ worth of power.”

Li Mu immediately got up and leaped off the hill.

The Ancient Warzone!

‘This is where the Ancient War took place? Are you kidding me?’ he thought to himself.

‘Wait, didn’t they say that the West Continent Desolated Desert is the result of the Demon Clan’s invasion?’ Li Mu was confused.

‘Could it be that the desert was here before the war happened? Don’t tell me that the Demon Clan got here through a portal like the Bat Clan did? Whatever, it doesn’t concern me anyway.’

Seeing that he was able to gain two thousand years’ worth of power in one day, Li Mu began to entertain the idea of staying for another couple of days.

‘People always say that curiosity killed the cat. I shouldn’t waste my time on something that happened a long time ago.’ Li Mu descended back to the tiny hill, but his mind was still thinking about the Ancient War.

Seeing how the West Continent was invaded by the Demon Clan in the past and the Bat Clan now, doesn’t it mean that the barrier is getting unstable? What if something far more fearful enters the South Continent through the West Continent? Can Liu An, Liu Yu, and Old Demon Han stand their ground?

Li Mu kept thinking about it until the next day.

‘Should I just head back?’

Meanwhile, the group of five looked at Li Mu. They saw that he was still occupied with his thoughts, so they gathered together once again.

“I don’t think he’s lying to us. If he’s right, then we might have no choice but to return…”

“But that means we will fail our mission. That also means that Zhou Qing and the others sacrificed their lives for nothing.”

All five of them let out a deep sigh at the same time.

Even after discussing for the whole night, they still could not come to a decision. It was their first time having to make such a difficult choice.

Yet another day passed by.

“Wait, isn’t it weird that he’s not asking us to hurry up?”

“Do you think he left without us?”

The group quickly turned to look for Li Mu. They let out sighs of relief when they saw that Li Mu was still lying on the hill.

“Check-in,” Li Mu whispered.

“He’s still there,” Tian sighed.

Zhou Chen pointed at the bigger hill in front of them. “Why don’t we just go a little farther ahead? At least up that hill and check to see what’s behind it.”

“All right. Three of us will go while the rest stay here in case he asks us where we went.”

Days continued to pass by as the Zhou Family remained at the border of the desolate desert.

Ten thousand pairs of eyes kept staring into the desert.

“Where do you think they are now?”

“They should reach there anytime soon.”

…

“Chief! Not good! We found a few Bat Clan sentries just a hundred miles away from us!”

A few men rushed into the temporary hut that was built under a tree.

The leader of the clan immediately stood up. “What?”

“How did they catch up with us so fast? We’ve been running as fast as we can,” one of the elders gasped.

The others could not believe it as well.

“We’ve been escaping toward the desert. Only idiots would think that we’ve come this way…” the leader of the clan said. The reason he decided to move toward the desert was that no other people would think of it.

“What should we do? We will alert the Bat Clan if we kill their sentries!”

“Hmm… Wait until they are 20 miles away from us before taking them out. Notify the whole clan to move closer toward the desert.”

“Chief, why are we waiting until they are that close to us? Won’t that tell the Bat Clan where we are? We won’t have any chance to run.”

Three figures paced through the forest at the same time.

“Urda, I can smell the humans. We’re getting closer.”
