Chapter 233. The Desert of Crisis
After hearing what Mu Nujiao said, the man who first blamed everything on Mu Nujiao was now filled with self-blame and regret.

"It's not your fault. It wasn't you who pushed him to death. Dajian chose this path himself." Regiment leader Ge Ming sighed and replied.

The other party wanted to say something, but Ge Ming said solemnly: "Be careful, be rational, everyone here comes in with their heads on the line, no one wants to die, so don't look down on anyone. When you were their age, you didn't even dare to leave Anjie easily, but they came to one of the most dangerous places in the country. So you have no reason to use your age to despise their strength and courage."

In fact, what Ge Ming didn't mention was that Qin Jun, whom Mo Fan brought with him, was a super-class mage who was as powerful as himself. He also had monarch-level contracted beasts and summoned beasts!
Such a person would not be able to stand out even for Ge Ming, let alone his teammates.
When Ge Ming said this, several people were stunned! They suddenly realized that they only cared about despising their age, but ignored an important thing. When they were this age, they didn't have the courage to go to such a dangerous place!
Some of the arrogance now is just because they have not died in the wild for many years, so they can't help but want to pretend when they see newcomers. As a result, several people fell into silence, because this is something worth pondering.
The first night in the desert was the sacrifice of a team member, which made everyone feel a little depressed. At night, the desert becomes extremely cold, which is a far cry from the scorching heat during the day.

"Brother Mo Fan, thank you for today." Ge Ming was not a person who could not distinguish the important from the unimportant. He knew his people very well, and some of them were just crazy.

“It’s okay. Everyone comes here for their own purpose. There’s no need to thank me.” Mo Fan waved his hand and said.

"You are quite generous." Qin Jun said calmly.

“Ahem. Look, they didn’t provoke you. All the firepower is with me.” Mo Fan continued.

"I am not you, and I will not allow a few ants to provoke me." Qin Jun said.

"Brother Qin Jun, I hope you can forgive me." Ge Ming immediately apologized.

He felt that he would go and give a warning, because it was obvious that if Qin Jun was provoked, he was not like Mo Fan and his brothers, and he was afraid that several people would die!
"Captain Ge, your Golden War Hunter Group is at least a top-notch hunting wizard team in the country. Why do you have such poor common sense in the wild? Or is this the level of our domestic hunting wizard team?" Qin Jun didn't care, but instead asked about his doubts.

"Ugh"

Ge Ming sighed and continued, "In fact, the last time we went to Chongming Island, the Golden War Hunter Group also suffered a great loss. The Church is only a remnant force, but it cost our hunter group a heavy price. As a result, the reputation of the Golden War Hunter Group has dropped rapidly, and some experienced and powerful people have been directly taken away by other hunting magician groups. This is why we will take on the task of opening up the wasteland here. Without a suitable reward, our Golden War Hunter Group may be finished."

After hearing what Ge Ming said, Qin Jun seemed to understand a little. Moreover, he also had a new understanding of the Church. Some big forces were not unable to fight against the Black Church, but sometimes, they had to admit that they were too sinister.
This makes many people afraid to take action before they can kill the enemy with one blow.

They don't want to endure endless troubles.

"Although your situation is already very bleak, I still want to tell you one thing. You have to be mentally prepared." Qin Jun thought about it and said seriously.

"There is a member of the Weifang faction in your team, but he is an ambitious person." Qin Jun told the story of what had ruined the desert post station, and at the same time, he affirmed that they had someone from the other side. "How is this possible!" Ge Ming found it hard to accept.

After all, almost all the people who came here to explore this time had followed him for a long time.

"This is the fact. Do you think there is any need for me to lie to you? In any case, you should be careful. Also, don't tell this to any of your subordinates. It will be fine if they don't cause trouble, but if they seek death themselves, I will not show mercy." Qin Jun said seriously.

"If it's as Brother Qin Jun said, I will definitely not interfere with you." Ge Ming said.

After Qin Jun briefly explained, he returned to the tent. Mo Fan didn't talk too much with Ge Ming, but he was quite curious about how Qin Jun knew all this.
However, Qin Jun had no intention of explaining his doubts to him, so Mo Fan could only feel itchy.
Before I knew it, it was the second half of the night and the desert had become icy cold. It felt like I was walking on ice and snow, and the wind blew on my frozen face, causing it to hurt so much that it felt like it was about to break.

We started moving forward before daybreak. Once we reached a place where the sun was shining, the warmth felt extremely comfortable. However, within an hour, we began to feel disgusted by the increasing heat in our bodies.

The desert is like this, it won't give people any pleasure at all, which is why hunters always stay away from here.

No matter how powerful one is, one still needs to maintain a respectful heart in this natural environment. Especially in this endless desert, once lost here, without water and food, even the most powerful magician may be buried here.
After walking for a while, they didn't encounter any troubles. In addition, after what happened yesterday, no one had any opinions about them today. Moreover, the hunter team also accepted their opinions very humbly.

Lu Fang opened the map, looked at it and said, "If we continue in this direction, we will see the Shaqu River. If we follow the Shaqu River and go to the lower reaches, we will be able to get close to the former post station."

Everyone took a look and continued to move forward. They said it was a river, but in fact there was only a deep ravine with an empty river. There was not a drop of water in it, and the sticky sand made it very difficult to lift their feet.

This sand curve and river is an important landmark. It took a long time just to find this sand river, but if you don’t find it, it will be difficult to find the right direction.

Walking in the sand river, they soon realized something was wrong. The sand seemed to have vitality and could actually swallow them!

Once you fall into it, the gravity will reach tons!

If they continue like this, they will probably end up being swallowed by this man-eating sand!
After feeling the horror of this stretch of sand, the members of the Golden War Hunter Group began to ask how long it would take to get out.

Ge Ming had a gloomy face, because the map showed that it would take at least five hours to cross this man-eating sand river. If everyone couldn't hold on now, then they would be in real trouble!
Although this river is not particularly wide, if you go one or two kilometers to either side, you can still reach the shore. The problem is that the two sides of the Shaqu River are the territories of the Stormy Dust Grasshoppers. The Stormy Dust Grasshoppers are disaster-type monsters. Once they appear, they are counted in tens of thousands. They do not eat crops or plants, but living things.
