Chapter 493: World Border Journey (7)

Wang Yao did not respond at the first time. He just took a look at the five people under the city wall who had changed their clothes into the unique clothes of the desert. The next second, with a flash of blue light, he directly used the second skill [Time and Space Travel] to jump in front of everyone.

Faced with Wang Yao who suddenly appeared before their eyes like a ghost, the soldiers were all shocked. While they completely believed that Wang Yao was indeed a hero, they almost subconsciously knelt down on one knee.

It is a deep-seated awe for the terrifying unit called heroes.

"Sir, thank you very much for your gift last night." Ling Jingsi said humbly first.

Perhaps it was due to the change in status, Ling Jingsi no longer had the naturalness she had last night, and instead seemed very restrained.

Wang Yao still didn't say anything, just looked down at everyone indifferently.

In addition to Ling Jingsi, there was another female magic soldier and three male soldiers, and Ling Feng, who had repeatedly provoked him, was also among them. At the same time, Wang Yao noticed that Ling Jingsi had equipped himself with an elemental staff, and under his cloak, the edge of the Guardian's Armor could be vaguely seen.

Seeing that Wang Yao didn't seem to want to pay attention to them, Ling Jingsi could only continue: "I plan to leave the Great Wall today and go to the desert to look for my brother who has been lost for two years. The same goes for my companions."

Next, after Ling Jingsi's explanation, Wang Yao roughly understood the situation.

It turns out that Ling Jingsi is an orphan and has a younger brother. Their parents died accidentally at the hands of demons when they were very young. The brother and sister grew up in the desert, relying on each other, until they joined the Great Wall Legion four years ago. At that time, the Battle of Yunzhong had swept the entire border.

Although the war was quelled after two years, Ling Jingsi's younger brother was accidentally abducted by the defeated foreign rebels in the final battle and his whereabouts are still unknown.

For two years, Ling Jingsi has been eager to go out of the Great Wall and into the desert to find her lost brother. However, the rampant demons in the desert, the dangers everywhere, and the obstruction of various vicious robbers and bandits made her feel powerless. As a native of the desert, she knew that it would be a dangerous journey to rashly set foot in the desert without sufficient strength.

However, Wang Yao's gift last night changed everything.

Now equipped with two pieces of intermediate equipment, Ling Jingsi's strength has obviously made a qualitative leap. At least ordinary horse bandits and demons are no longer enough to threaten her life. In addition, her companions who have been with her day and night are willing to travel together. At least she thinks that they now have the ability to explore the desert and find their relatives.

Of course, the situations of Ling Jingsi's other four companions are actually similar. Another female magic soldier, Liya, her sister was also lost in the war two years ago. Front-line soldier Zhang Yang and archer Zhang Ji are brothers. Their parents were captured by a city lord in the desert many years ago to serve as soldiers. As for Ling Feng, he is just a lovesick man.

After a while——

After listening to Ling Jingsi's explanation, Wang Yao, who was leaning against the city wall, finally gave a cold and concise evaluation: "You are going to seek death."

Even though Wang Yao had never been deep into the desert, he had crossed the distance from Sanfendi to the Great Wall. Any demon he encountered in the process was enough to kill a team of five like theirs. It seemed that the desert would not be much less dangerous than the journey.

Moreover, Wang Yao had heard from Hua Mulan beforehand that the situation in the desert was turbulent now, and various forces had already occupied and annexed towns and cities along the way. In other words, even if they could avoid the invasion of demons and horse thieves, they were still just as weak as ants in front of the heroes. Once there was a conflict, they would only end up dead!
"Give up these unrealistic fantasies. This world is cruel. You will be safest only if you stay within the Great Wall."

Wang Yao didn't even look at them, and said calmly: "Besides, your relatives may have already died."

The faces of the five people kneeling on the ground were all pale. It can be seen that they were obviously very dissatisfied with Wang Yao's inhumane conclusion, but because of his heroic status, they did not dare to talk back.

Wang Yao was naturally very clear about what they were thinking at the moment, so after a moment of silence, he looked up at the vast and boundless sky above his head.

"It's always easy to make a decision, but not everyone can bear the consequences of the decision. You know, maybe one day, when your companions die around you, you may regret it."

The fierce wind from the desert howled past Wang Yao's face, blowing his white hair. His voice was low and hoarse, as if it was floating with the wind to the sky, passing through the nine layers of clouds...

In fact, at this moment, the soldiers were unable to hear the hidden and profound dissuasion in Wang Yao's seemingly sarcastic words.

After all, people are just like this. They all know that the truth hurts, but when others sincerely advise them, they will still stubbornly choose to believe in their own judgment.

"Thanks for your advice, but we have already made our decision!"

In the end, it was Ling Jingsi who mustered up the courage to express their attitude.

"No matter what, I have to come here to thank you. If it weren't for the equipment you gave us, we wouldn't have been able to find our loved ones. I will never be able to repay your kindness in my next life."

Considering the difference in status between them, Ling Jingsi instinctively said humbly: "In the next life, I will be your slave to repay your kindness. We will say goodbye now!"

After saying that, Ling Jingsi resolutely stood up and led his four companions towards the stairs leading to the city. During the process, Ling Feng seemed to hear his low voice: "Jingsi, don't worry, I will protect you!"

Other partners also echoed: "That's right, as long as we work together, we can overcome any difficulties!"

This is a group of soldiers who still have dreams and passion, but they are also naive, just like themselves back then.
At this moment, Wang Yao finally turned around.

He looked at the five soldiers with resolute backs; his thoughts seemed to have returned to the canyon battlefield many years ago, where he walked shoulder to shoulder with his friends, dreaming of a better future together without worries, and looking forward to becoming a hero who is second to none and above ten thousand people one day.
At a certain moment, Wang Yao seemed to hear a voice in his mind whispering: "Why don't you stop them? You were powerless back then, and now you are still going to stand by and watch?" For some reason -

"and many more."

As if trying hard to grasp something that had already passed away, Wang Yao unconsciously called out to the group of soldiers, and seemed to have made up his mind.

At noon.

Wang Yao found Mulan eating and drinking in the base camp.

"Hmm?" With her mouth full of oil, Hua Mulan, holding a half-eaten chicken leg in one hand and a wine bowl in the other, looked at Wang Yao in surprise, with an expressionless face. She swallowed the meat in her mouth hard before saying, "Why do we have to enter the desert so suddenly?"

Wang Yao had no desire to explain this, and just said, "I will keep in touch with you at any time."

After saying this, he was about to go out, but Hua Mulan called him back again.

"Wait a minute, little brother." She finished it in a few gulps, then drank the liquor in the bowl heroically. Then she wiped her mouth with her wrist guard and began to put on the heavy sword and short blade on her body and waist: "I'll go with you!"

Compared to the deep-minded Wang Yao, the cheerful and straightforward woman never seems to feel too burdened in making any decision.

Wang Yao was a little surprised. He silently watched Hua Mulan packing her clothes. A little light appeared in his indifferent eyes. Although he did not respond in the end, he did not refuse either.

Afterwards, the two of them walked together and left the base camp. Not long after they went, they ran into Shen Mengxi who was riding Shield Mountain and strolling around.

"Hey? Sister Mulan! Where are you planning to go?" The child was waving at them from a distance.

Hua Mulan said simply: "March into the desert! Do you want to come with us?"

Shen Mengxi, who is playful by nature and also clings to Hua Mulan, became excited on the spot: "Of course!"

Even Shield Mountain, who was sitting under him, echoed: "Gugugugu!"

Then——

After walking a little further, he ran into Baili Shouyue, who was teasing his younger brother with a piece of dogtail grass.

"Captain, where are you going?" Baili Shouyao looked at the four people, frowned slightly, and seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart.

Before Hua Mulan could even open her mouth, Shen Mengxi, who was standing on Dunshan's shoulders, crossed his arms and said in a heroic and confident voice: "March into the desert! Then settle the score with that woman!"

"Huh?" Baili Shouyue frowned. "Didn't the scouts we sent out still not find that woman's whereabouts?"

"Can't we go in first without any trace?" Hua Mulan interrupted confidently, and at the same time did not forget to 'seduce' the little wolf dog: "Xiao Xuan Ce, do you want to go with your sister? This time it will definitely be fun!"

"Okay, okay!" Baili Xuance excitedly raised his hands to show his agreement.

At this point, Baili Shouyue, who originally didn't want to go but was obsessed with his brother, was also dragged into the water by everyone.
After walking a little further, they ran into Su Lie and Kai. But this time, Hua Mulan was obviously scared, and she sneakily prepared to take everyone to take a detour. It was not because she was guilty, but because she really didn't like being nagged by Su Lie, the big brother.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and the sharp-eyed Kai discovered it during the process.

Kai said almost as little as Wang Yao, so Su Lie had to ask, "Mulan, what are you doing?"

"Go to the desert!" The woman tried her best to straighten her back and held up her already full and plump breasts, as if she was ready to be baptized by the storm.

"Since everything has been decided, I won't spoil your fun."

To everyone's surprise, Su Lie and Kai, the most stable members of the team, did not blame everyone for their mischief after learning of Mulan's intention, but chose to set off together with great interest.

Even Wang Yao was a little surprised by this; at least he thought that as the real think tank of the Great Wall Guard, Su Lie and Kai and others should be more careful and cautious in doing things.

But perhaps this is also the reason why the Great Wall Guards can almost win every battle as a team, because no matter at any time, they can always unconditionally trust and support their teammates, even if the reasons are inexplicable, but in the end they only need a call to make them unite quickly and act without worries!
Just like that, after waiting for half a day, when Wang Yao set out for the city gate again, all the heroes of the Great Wall Guard had gathered behind him.
Almost all the heroes of the Great Wall came out in force.

Such a spectacular and horrifying scene naturally attracted a large number of Great Wall soldiers who were resting along the way to come out and watch. People talked about it in a flurry, thinking that something earth-shattering had happened in the desert again.
