Chapter 1: Lei Yin (Part 1)

  Everyone suddenly found themselves lifted by an invisible force, and Leixing Feng also discovered that he was about a foot off the ground. He was shocked for a moment, it was his first time seeing such a technique. Leixing Yao pointed at Leixing Feng's feet and exclaimed: "Wow, you're flying! Brother, let me down, I want to try too!"

  Lei Xingfeng jumped in fright and said, "Don't move, Ya Tou, don't move!" Calling her Ya Tou showed that he was anxious. He usually called Lei Xingyao either Yayao or Little Sister, but calling her Ya Tou meant he was very serious. Lei Xingyao immediately froze, pouting and biting her finger. Just then, they suddenly heard Old Man Leibo shouting loudly: "Let's go!"

  In an instant, everyone rushed out along the passageway formed by the ring.

  The crowd was shocked and couldn't help but let out a loud cry, accompanied by the old man's hearty laughter. The people were like cannonballs shooting out of their shells, disappearing in an instant.

  Lei Xingfeng tightly hugged Lei Xingyao, he only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and couldn't see the surroundings clearly. His heart was pounding like a drum, it was very frightening.

  The ancient wheel path gave Leixing Peak a feeling like a roller coaster from his past life, but this one had no seats and no safety belt. It was even more frightening with its sudden ups and downs, fast and slow, and all around were only color changes, yet nothing could be seen clearly.

  Dizzy and bewildered, eyes blurred and disordered, plus the invisible pressure around, everyone had an extremely terrifying feeling, for about ten minutes. Suddenly, people felt their bodies lightened, and the scene in front of them changed greatly. The first feeling was a wave of hot air rushing towards them.

  "Desert?" Lei Xingfeng exclaimed in surprise.

  The old man with the lightning bolt emblem nodded and said, "That's right, this is the edge of the desert."

  Lei Xingyao has already exclaimed: "So hot! So hot!"

  The scorching sun is like a fire, with hot air rising everywhere. To think that this group of people are all wearing thick and heavy fur coats, they suddenly came from an extremely cold place to an extremely hot and dry place, the feeling is absolutely like being in two different worlds.

  Everyone was in a flurry, taking off their fur coats. Leixingyao was initially shocked, then overjoyed. She didn't like wearing so much either, and now she could wear the silk dress she had picked out earlier.

  The land of Xirong is also a barbarous land, only here it's not mountainous but vast expanses of Gobi and desert, and then there are countless oases. The oases here aren't small places, but rather large ones covering thousands or even tens of thousands of square kilometers. As for the smaller oases, they're scattered all over like stars in the sky, too numerous to count.

  Qī Xuán said: "Older brother, in the Western Wilderness, there are three major powers. One is the Western Wilderness Country, one is the Poisonous Scorpion Alliance, and one is the Mān Tuó Merchant House. The Western Wilderness Country occupies the largest oasis in the Western Wilderness and is also the most powerful country. The Poisonous Scorpion Alliance has gathered dozens of cultivation sects and its power is quite considerable. As for the Mān Tuó Merchant House, they control all the commodity transactions in the entire Western Wilderness."

  The old man of Lei Bao said: "These three families are mutually restrictive, mutually united, their greatest enemy... is the Xirong barbarians of the Xirong land. Hehe, the aboriginals of the desolate land have always been very powerful. However, for humans who unite together, they are still being driven to the marginal areas."

  "Right," Zixuan nodded, "the intelligence I've gathered is roughly like that."

  The old man of Lei Bao said: "Where the wheel space appears, are you sure?"

  "Uh-huh, you know that once the Wheel Storage Space appears, it won't move again. It's just very hard to break open. The Western Xiong Country, the Poison Scorpion Alliance, and the Mantra Merchant Guild all claim they have the right to manifest the Wheel Storage Space. Hehe."

  The old man said calmly, "That's natural, but it takes real power to guarantee that, otherwise it's just a joke."

  Qī Xuán took out a map, Léi Xīng Fēng curiously leaned over to take a look, and saw that the leather map had circles and dots, with various lines crisscrossing all over it. Léi Xīng Fēng was suddenly speechless - he couldn't understand it at all. This map was too damn abstract.

  Soon, Qi Xuan found the current location and smiled: "Not far ahead is the largest oasis in Xirong, the location of Xirong State. Hehe, we've come to a great place, it can save us a lot of road."

  Lei Xingfeng laughed and said: "Old man, if we get lost, how long will it take to get back to Hu Yanbao?"

  The old man suddenly became cheerful and said, "That's a lot of trouble. If there's a guide leading the way and you walk normally, I estimate... it'll take one to two years. Hmm, that's assuming you don't get lost along the way, hehe. If you're walking on your own, maybe two years, maybe three years, or maybe... who knows where you'll end up."

  Lei Xingfeng couldn't help but stick out his tongue and say, "Good guy, so far away, Yao Yao, we'd better follow Grandpa closely, or else we'll get lost... Brother doesn't have the ability to find our way back home." He couldn't even figure out the direction of their home, let alone find their way back.

  The crowd tidied up, leading two large horned cows, treading on the soft and scorching fine sand, one foot deep and one foot shallow, heading towards the oasis of Xizong country.

  Lei Xingyao was overjoyed, she had never seen so much sand in her life. She ran and played with the sand all the way, occasionally scooping up a handful of sand from the ground and tossing it out again, watching the fine sand fly and fall in the wind, laughing happily.

  They walked from noon till sunset, and finally saw a hint of greenery. In the dry air, there was a hint of moisture. Although Du Hongchen had already entered the ranks of true men, he had never left the sphere of influence of Dahong Cave in his life. Like everyone else, it was also his first time walking in the desert. He said: "Look! Is that an oasis?"

  "Wen Yan Dao: 'Master, I also saw it, it seems to be green.'"

  Zi Xuan Dao: "It's not there yet. That should be an ordinary oasis. To get to the oasis where Xi Rong country is located, we need to cross this oasis."

  Du Hongchen couldn't help but shake his head and said: "We've been walking for half a day, haven't we arrived yet?"

  The old man in the thunderstorm said, "The desert is very big, and the road we are taking is already a shortcut. In the desert, walking for ten or eight days without seeing any greenery is a normal thing."

  Du Hongchen said: "Here you can see very far, unlike our place, it's foggy and the visibility is always poor."

  The old man of the thunderstorm said: "That is no wind, in the desert once the wind rises, it's like a blizzard where we are, nothing can be seen... Hmm? What sound?" He tilted his head to listen.

  Everyone also leaned in to listen carefully, but no one found any sound coming over, only to see the old man Lei Pu suddenly radiate dazzling light all over his body. In an instant, he flew into the air. Qi Xuan's mouth was wide open until then, and it wasn't until then that he realized the old man was at least a five-ring True Body, a master of the Treasure Wheel Seal, or possibly even higher, because only masters of the Treasure Wheel Seal could fly into the air.

  Du Hongchen's master and apprentice, as well as a group of Wan Lun masters and Mi Lun masters, were also shocked, all realizing in their hearts that the old man was a truly terrifying high-ranking expert.

  In just a few minutes, the old man of Lei Bao fell down and said: "Go, there is a battle ahead!"

  Everyone was shocked, and Lei Xingfeng immediately beckoned to recall Lei Xingyao, who was still running around. His current task was to protect the little girl's safety. As soon as he heard that there was a battle ahead, he immediately called her back and asked: "Yao Yao, are you tired?"

  Lei Xingyao panted heavily as she ran wildly and played wildly, but in fact, she was already very tired. She said: "Brother, I'm tired."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Come on, brother will carry you." He then squatted down.

  The little girl climbed up the back of Leixing Peak with a happy smile and said: "Okay!"

  The team suddenly accelerated and rushed forward quickly.

  In less than five minutes, everyone heard the faint sound of killing coming from afar, and one by one, they became serious. They were all masters of slaughter, within the sphere of influence of Dahong Cave, there were countless barbarian tribes, every year when suppressing the barbarian tribes, Dahong Cave had to send out high-ranking experts, they often needed to go out and fight, so they didn't mind killing at all.

  They became serious because this place was too unfamiliar and they were completely unaccustomed to the combat environment, so they had a little concern in their hearts.

  As the party climbed up a towering sand dune, they saw a group of desert barbarians attacking another group of people who were guarding dozens of sand skiffs and dozens of tall sand worms.

  "Uh, is this the Desert Barbarian?" Lei Xingfeng asked. They had some similarities with the Forest Barbarians, both being tall and robust in build. However, unlike the Forest Barbarians, these barbarians were almost completely naked, with only a piece of leather covering their hips. Their skin was covered in various patterns, it was unclear whether they were tattoos or temporary drawings, but they were certainly colorful.

  This group of people within the Dahongdong force's sphere of influence are frequently the main combatants against the barbarians, so they are extremely familiar with the barbarians and carefully observe the differences among the desert barbarians.

  Powerful barbarians can even fight against thousand wheel masters. It should be known that among humans, ordinary people are the majority, and those who can reach the level of a thousand wheel master are actually very few. A thousand wheel master in their own sect may not be anything special, but when they walk into the world of ordinary people, they become formidable fighting machines. Even hundreds of ordinary people with combat experience may not be able to defeat a single thousand wheel master. Therefore, barbarians with extraordinary talents are naturally strong warriors from birth.

  She observed for a moment, then said: "There are about 120 to 140 barbarians. The besieged team should have between 550 and 600 people with combat power... no more than 200 people, of which the strong ones... um, those who have practiced... will not exceed ten people. It's pretty good that they can hold on with these ten people, but... I don't think this team is doing well."

  The old man in the thunderstorm said: "Not bad, little guy observed very carefully."

  Wen Yandun suddenly raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, and he was very happy to be praised by Lei Bao, such a super master. Even Du Hongchen showed a smile, he had always liked this disciple, the disciple was praised, and he also felt very happy.

  "Lei Xingfeng said: 'The desert barbarians have discovered us!'"
