The winters of Linlopez are always snowy, but this does not mean that the winters in the north are snowy. In fact, only the winter along the mountains can be seen. It is also a relatively wealthy area in central Lombak.

After leaving the mountains and walking north, the whole world will be different.

If the south is rich and Lin Lopez is barren, then the place Andrew and Christina are going to be can be described as if they are not born.

The withered yellow land is covered with ditches, with mud and wind-eroded rocks everywhere, and the messy weeds are almost every withered yellow. Occasionally, you can see the bones of various large animals.

The water source is even more invisible. Even the sky is full of yellow colors.

This is a land of death. The difference between the desert may be that there are many sands in the desert and there are many stones here. Give nature a period of time. When the wind erodes these rocks enough to crush them, this place will be a new desert.

After walking more than 300 kilometers of road and sleeping in the open for several nights, Andrew, who had originally looked old, suddenly became even more haggard.

Fortunately, when they left Lin Lopez, they bought two horses and a carriage, otherwise Andrew might have died halfway through the way. After all, he had never been so troubled even when he was forcibly following Gray.

Or, to be precise, I have never experienced such a harsh environment. It was dry and cold, and Andrew's face was blown off.

Fortunately, Christina is a dragon, and this is really nothing for a dragon.

Every day, Christina sat happily beside Andrew watching him rush the car.

"Don't you really change your face back?"

"Uh... I think too. There must be water, a lot of water. We have just enough water to drink now. After all, we still have two horses."

"Well, if there is water, will you exchange it?"

“Yes.”

Christina nodded happily.

After all running here, it shouldn't be possible to be tracked down by the lich, right? Lin Lopez was in chaos. Andrew really didn't believe that the Lichs could find any clues when they ran to Lin Lopez. Since that's the case, there was no need to compromise himself.

However, this journey is indeed deadly. It is really deadly.

Although I have read this in books before, and even before entering this place, some people reminded them, the reality seems to be much more terrifying than Andrew imagined.

There are almost no humans, which is the biggest proof of the harsh environment here. From a certain perspective, humans are like fleas on the Celtics continent. As long as you give them a place, they can grow and quickly fill them up. And if there is a place where fleas don't even grow... Well, this is enough to show how harsh the environment in this place is.

Walking along the boundless desert Gobi, and walking, from beginning to end, Andrew had almost never seen a single figure. Even if there were, it was a station. It was the place where the Lombuck royal family used to convey information, just a small house, a cracked wall blown by the wind, and two or three dirty soldiers. There was nothing else.

Fortunately, there is still a station, otherwise Andrew would have no place to replenish food and water. Although there is a Christina next to him who can turn into a dragon at any time and take him thousands of miles in an instant, but it was not a forced force, Andrew still didn't want to do this.

On the one hand, Long's goal is really big. On the other hand... Didn't he just boast about taking care of her in Haikou? Is it appropriate to let her take care of her so quickly?

At night, Andrew settled his carriage behind a huge rock to escape the unbridled wind on the wasteland. Then he set up a tent and lit a bonfire.

"It will take two days, and in two days, we can leave this desert and enter Udufen." Andrew explained to Christina in detail by the bonfire: "It is actually not very good there, but at least it is raining. And there are people living there. I heard that Lombak has set up a special military town there to rule the surrounding tribes. Although it may not be as good as Lin Lopez, I think the place should be pretty good."

“Are we moving there?”

"Uh..." Andrew replied hesitantly, "No, I just want to tell you that we will be there soon. There is no food here, but there is there."

"Are you afraid I'll go hungry?" Christina asked.

"You haven't eaten in many days."

"Dragons can't eat for many days. Some dragons even eat once a year or two, and we don't need to eat every day like other races."

"All right……"

That being said, but Andrew was still a little worried after all. After all, he never seemed to have seen Christina eat. Of course, it means eating in the shape of a dragon, eating a lot of that kind in one breath.

One of the major characteristics of "elopement" is originally confusion. The sky is big, but the earth is big, but I don't know where to go. Andrew can only choose the safest route in his opinion - to a place with fewer people.

After all, the fewer people, the lower the chances of them being found.

Of course, one of the major consequences of doing so is that their lives will become more and more difficult. After all, the fewer people are, the harder it is to find prey in general. Various inconveniences of life follow one after another. Just like now, Christina, who has always been fair and beautiful, has started to become dirty after a few days of north wind.

"If one day, will you get angry when you find out that I lied to you?"

"You lied to me?"

"No, I mean, 'if'. It's just a hypothesis."

Christina thought for a while, then smiled and replied, "I don't know either, probably won't."

The eyes were still as clear as if they could see through the soul at a glance. This made Andrew somewhat worried.

When he first entered this desert, Andrew was a little worried that he would be more vigilant in the middle of the night. After all, who knows if there will be gangs of robbers in this desert? It is extremely convenient to rob a house and destroy corpses in this desert.

However, soon, he discovered that there were not even robbers here. There was nothing here except vultures in the sky and snakes, insects, rats and ants on the ground.

Another night passed.

Just in case, Andrew deliberately put the excess dead wood on the carriage. After all, in this desert, dead wood is not something that is available in every place.

Then, they continued to walk north.

The journey is still so boring, just moving forward mechanically. The surrounding scenery seems to have never changed.

Andrew was about to doze off. If he wasn't afraid that he would stop as soon as he fell asleep, the horse would stop. After waking up, he found that he was still in the same place. Andrew really wanted to fall asleep directly.

Christina was still so happy, sitting in the carriage, looking around, and happy to see everything.

Originally Andrew thought that this was the way. Although the journey was long and the environment was harsh, nothing would happen. It was only a matter of time before we walked through it.

However, at noon on the seventh day they entered the desert, a whole team of cavalry appeared in front of them.

Andrew was stunned.

There were forty cavalrymen in a row. They rode high-headed horses and looked like they would just take a thread and they would directly spread into strips of cloth. They were dirty all over, as if they hadn't taken a shower for a year. Each was wrapped tightly in a headscarf, with only two white pupils staring coldly ahead. Judging from the skin color of their exposed hands, they were also pale like a blood clan.

Apart from wrist guards, leg guards, and heart protection, there was no extra armor on his body. The scimitars looked extremely sharp, but there were black cloth strips that were dirty like rags on the hilt. And they were tied very messily.

When a normal person encounters a cavalry team like this, he probably thinks it is a robber regiment and runs away. However, Andrew did not think so. Because he found that the way the other party lined up was trained by regular troops. And they also had flags.

Behind the cavalry in a black broken robe were two triangular flags, and the flag was a string of words that Andrew could not understand.

Andrew tightened the reins and stopped the carriage.

The cavalry in front did not move, but looked at them from afar. The cavalry in the lead raised his head high, with a sense of looking down. The black and oily horse under his crotch kept taking steps in place.

"Can you understand what is written on the flag?" Andrew asked Christina next to him.

"I don't understand." Christina shook her head.

Both sides just looked at each other silently.

After a while, the black-robed cavalry in the head rode forward on a horse, pulled down the headscarf wrapped around his face and exposed his white beard. Then he shouted something at Andrew. After finding that Andrew could not understand, he turned to the common language of the mainland and shouted: "Who are you? Why do you appear here!"

Andrew looked at it in a daze.

Before Andrew could figure out how to answer, the other party had already pulled out the scimitar from his waist and shouted: "Answer my question now!"

Is something happening to Udufen? This is what Andrew thought of first reaction.

This is coming in a fierce way... OK.

Helplessly, Andrew's eyes flashed and he shouted, "We are going to Linlopez!"

"We're going to Linlopez?" Christina asked.

"Shh." Andrew quietly made a gesture of silence.

"Lin Lopez?" The other party was stunned: "It's not the same direction to go to Lin Lopez. Have you gone the wrong way?"

"I think we must have gone wrong!" Andrew shouted: "We were taken away by the wild wolf and then we got lost!"

"The wild wolf takes away your map?"

"That's a sheepskin map!"

Suddenly, the cavalry all laughed.

The bearded man in the head seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, put away his machete, and rode his horse towards Andrew and Christina's carriage.

When he got closer, Andrew saw the other person's face clearly.

It was a bumpy face, pale skin, and a scar on the left eye, but it didn't seem blind. Although they were blind and not blind, they actually looked no different because their pupils were white.

This is a real "barbarian". Andrew has also seen it in Linlopez.

In fact, this is the most mainstream race in Lombac. Even the most powerful family of Lombac is this race. However, Lin Lopez is relatively border, and the "barbarians" do not like to live in places like Lin Lopez, so there are fewer ones there. Strictly speaking, they are actually humans, but they look a little different from ordinary humans.

"Low your head down and don't let him see your face." Andrew whispered.

Christina quickly wrapped her cloak tightly and pressed her hood as low as possible.

He came to Andrew swayingly. The bearded man pulled out the scimitar from his waist and picked up the shed in their carriage and took a look. Then he stabbed the thing in the carriage several times and confirmed that there was no one else hidden inside. He then put the knife away again. He sighed and said, "Change, your direction is completely wrong. I can't believe that anyone can come here like you, who is lost and confused."

"Change?" Andrew pretended to be surprised.

"Look back and go in this direction, walk for half a month and you can reach Linlopez."

"But we came from this direction."

"So you're stupid, go back." As he said that, the bearded cavalry had turned his head.

"No, we can't go back. There's the desert behind us, we've been walking for several days. We need water, food, and some other things. Can you give us some?"

"No." The bearded cavalry riding horses had already started running back, and shouted loudly along the way: "This place has been blocked, no one can pass! Anyone means including you!"

As the bearded cavalry left, the rest of the cavalry followed closely behind. Of course, they were not all expelled, and two cavalrymen stopped in place, as if they wanted to wait for them to leave before leaving.

Helplessly, Andrew had to turn the front of the car in a hurry and walk back.

"Are we really going back to Linlopez?"

"Of course not."

Andrew carefully stretched his neck and looked back. After confirming that the only two remaining cavalrymen had left, he stopped the carriage and said, "There should be something wrong with Udufen, but we still have to go. Of course, we have to wait for the evening. I don't want to walk the previous road again. It would be even better if they had a strong defense. In this way, it would be difficult for the golden dragon to come to Udufen to find us."

Christina blinked at Andrew.

After thinking about it, Andrew said again: "However, it is probably not realistic to run over secretly. The road is too far, and it is more than a day away from Udufen. The desert is too empty and clear at a glance. If they deploy troops everywhere, we will easily be discovered."
