Because the distance wasn't far, Feng Yuan quickly saw what those black dots were.
It was a merchant group traversing the desert.
The guards at the front were all riding White Dragon Camels, clad in scale armor, with bows on their backs and arrows, indicating their exceptional martial prowess.
The Camels they rode were also extraordinary, covered in white fur and incredibly agile, clearly White Dragon Camels of the desert, comparable to thousand-mile steeds, with extreme burst power and speed, especially more useful than thousand-mile steeds in the desert.
People riding on the Camels seemed to be sailing with the current.
This was much faster than Feng Yuan traveling on foot and allowed him to save a lot of physical strength.
"Black Obsidian Merchant Group?"
Feng Yuan looked at the merchant group's banner, and after a brief thought, he found the corresponding memory in his mind.
It was one of the few famous large merchant groups in the Blue Moon Kingdom.
He had heard of it when his former self was still a Family Disciple.
He chose not to approach rashly.
Instead, he followed them from a distance, intending to go to the nearest city with this merchant group.
In the desert, oases are scarce, and water sources are short, and although there is Green God Nutrient Solution for replenishment, drinking it as water would be too wasteful.
The merchant group's travel speed was not fast, as they needed to transport goods.
Feng Yuan followed them quite easily.
After traversing about two hundred li.
The Black Obsidian Merchant Group arrived at an oasis and began to rest.
Such large merchant groups have been established for over a hundred years, and they are extremely familiar with the Han Hai Desert; while most people cannot find water sources, for them, it is effortless.
The oasis was not small, approximately ten li in circumference.
There were also a few smaller merchant groups stopping there to reorganize.
For merchant groups traveling in the desert, the water resources in the oasis are undoubtedly very important.
Feng Yuan also entered the oasis.
He found a random spot and sat down cross-legged.
His fingers gestured on the ground.
His left hand drew a perfectly round circle, and his right hand drew a perfectly square shape.
"Drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand, isn't that something anyone with hands can do?"
Feng Yuan was amused.
To advance from the third Realm of Physical Body Moves to the fourth Realm of Rigidity and Flexibility, one needs to comprehend the principle of stillness and motion.
It sounds like there's no difficulty, but understanding and achieving it are two entirely different matters.
Some Core Disciples of large Families would need at least three to five years of diligent practice day and night to reach the Rigidity and Flexibility Realm, and that's considered fast.
"As expected, cheating suits me better."
Feng Yuan fiddled for a while, then gave up thinking, lying on the ground in a big 'too' character.
He hadn't rested for long.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze slowly moving upwards.
He saw two legs.
To be precise, two plump and long legs.
As his gaze moved further up, he found a Purple-Clad Woman standing in front of him.
The woman was tall, with fair skin and picturesque features.
He wondered how she maintained her complexion in this desert.
Feng Yuan had been exposed to the sun all day and had gotten much darker, but this woman's skin remained fair and tender.
Beneath the purple silk, her shapely figure appeared particularly full, exuding an exotic charm against the desert backdrop.
This was undoubtedly a great beauty.
However, at this moment, her face was filled with scrutiny.
"Who are you? Why have you been following us? Speak, what are your intentions?"
Feng Yuan instantly realized the identity of the newcomer.
Someone from the Black Obsidian Merchant Group?
He had followed them for hundreds of li; it would be strange if a large merchant group like the Black Obsidian Merchant Group, with so many experts, hadn't noticed him.
He showed a helpless expression, "What intentions could a small Physical Body third Realm fellow like me have towards your large merchant group? I merely got lost in the desert and hope to reach the nearest city."
Everyone in the Blue Moon Kingdom was martial, and those who dared to trade in the desert were even less to be trifled with.
Those tall, burly guards.
The weakest among them were experts of the same level as Thunder Hand Lian He.
Otherwise, they would have been plundered clean by Sand bandits long ago.
"That had better be the case."
The Purple-Clad Woman thought for a moment, and the dangerous look on her face gradually faded.
Among other things, she herself was a Divine Strength Realm expert of the Physical Body fifth Realm; she could knock Feng Yuan to his knees with a single punch.
Even if Sand bandits sent out scouts, they wouldn't send such weak ones.
It would be meaningless.
She was merely being cautious and came to investigate.
"Lanxi City is eight hundred li north from here. Don't follow us anymore, or others might mistake you for a Sand bandit scout and kill you on the spot."
After a warning, the Purple-Clad Woman prepared to turn and leave.
But she glanced at Feng Yuan's disheveled, beggar-like appearance, thought for a moment, and then dropped a satchel before leaving.
"I didn't expect to meet a good person."
Feng Yuan was a bit surprised.
After the other party left, he opened the satchel and found some coarse dry rations and a water flask inside.
This woman spoke harshly, but she had a kind heart.
"Lanxi City, huh?"
Feng Yuan rummaged through his memories.
He hadn't expected to have gone off course and ended up in the heart of the Han Hai Desert.
The capital of the Blue Moon Kingdom was located in the center of the Han Hai Desert; the closer to the center a city was, the more prosperous it became, and Lanxi City was one of the more bustling cities, with a population of several million, so much so that even powerful Sand bandits dared not plunder it.
"I've decided to go to Lanxi City."
Feng Yuan made up his mind.
Eight hundred li would naturally break the legs of someone who hadn't practiced martial arts, but for him, it was just a day of head-down sprinting.
He was quite amenable to advice and no longer intended to follow the Black Obsidian Merchant Group.
Since he had a direction, he prepared to set off.
The daytime in the Han Hai Desert was exceptionally long, occupying two-thirds of the day; at this time, there were still seven or eight hours until nightfall, and if he ran fast, he could probably reach Lanxi City by tomorrow.
Feng Yuan consumed a tube of Green God Nutrient Solution, and after his physical strength recovered, he walked out of the oasis.
Suddenly, his steps paused, and he looked into the distance.
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh...
From the distant sand dunes, a piercing roar immediately came, like the howling of a wild beast.
"What is that?"
Hearing this sound, Feng Yuan's heart jolted.
At first, he thought it was desert fox-wolves, which are the most common wild beasts and often hunt in packs, but as the dust gradually dispersed, what was revealed were not fox-wolves, but shadowy figures, full of Killing Intent.
"Sand bandits?"
Feng Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Sand bandits were plunderers of the Han Hai Desert, much like nomadic tribes on the grasslands, not engaging in production but living by plunder.
Initially, they were forces established by some great bandits of the Blue Moon Kingdom, but as time passed, with the help of various Demonic Path evildoers, they actually became a force not to be underestimated in the Han Hai Desert, with their influence almost covering the entire Han Hai Desert.
The city that his former self's Family guarded was broken through by a powerful group of Sand bandits.
It was also the direct reason for his misfortune.
