The Strongest Abandoned Son
Chapter 103: The Yellow Woman
Ye Mo calmed his emotions and did not continue searching for his bag; instead, he just sat in his place. At this moment, he should calm down. A little worry might make him choose the wrong choice again. Previously, he would definitely not believe that he would get lost after chasing after someone for only ten minutes.
It is said that the Taklimakan Desert is a confusing formation. Now it seems there is one.
Even though he had not slept for the night, Ye Mo was still full of vigor. The only thing he thought in his heart was his bag.
As dawn approached the next day, Ye Mo returned to where he had hit the black shadow with the fireball the night before and was amazed to see that the two marks he had made with the fireball had disappeared. There were no signs of movement in the sand, but the marks last night seemed to have been washed away by the sand again.
Ye Mo did not want to waste any time here. The sun was rising once again. If he could not find his bag quickly, losing many things was not important but losing his life was not an option.
Even though he was a cultivator, he was only at the 2nd stage of the Chi Gathering and was unsure how long he could stay under this scorching sun. He could not Pi Gu [1] or even not eat anything for a week, let alone under such harsh conditions.
He learned where he was for a long time before calculating the direction according to the sun and darting towards it. A little over ten minutes later, Ye Mo stopped. The direction is clearly not right.
If that was true, he would have found the place he had rested the night before at that moment.
When Ye Mo came back again, he made the shocking discovery that the place he came back from did not seem to be the same as before. However, the sand around him looked the same, and he could not say it at all.
Although he would not worry about this, Ye Mo knew the situation was serious. Previously, he did not have a GPS, but he had a compass and some tools to determine directions. But now, he had nothing and was lost.
Ye Mo knew that normally, a person who came to the desert would have some positioning tools with precise longitude and latitude; however, he did not. He had originally thought that with the strength of his cultivation, this should not be too much of a problem, but now, he realized how wrong he was. But even if he buys cheap GPS, he will not keep it and will probably leave it in the bag.
Now, Ye Mo felt like he was trapped in a formation.
Ye Mo did not fully understand about the formation. He knew several formations, and as long as he had the materials, he could set up hundreds of formations. However, the place he was lost in didn't seem to be entirely like a formation.
Ye Mo sighed as he thought that if only he had storage equipment, then he would not have to worry about losing his bag at all.
Ye Mo did not run to and fro and, in the end, just chose a direction and left. Since he was already lost, there was no point in staying here.
The next two days, Ye Mo had yet to see any signs of humans or animals. There is no water source either. Under the scorching sun in the desert, if a normal person were to run around like Ye Mo, no matter how strong he was, he would have already left. Even Ye Mo began to feel that he could not stand it anymore, and if he continued like this, it might only be a few days before he would be eaten by the desert.
Living for three days and four nights without drinking or eating, Ye Mo felt the Chi in his body wither, and yet, he had no way to cultivate here.
Day 5, Ye Mo who had dried his lips gnawed at the intention to find a source of water. He was not used to the desert, he would not know what place should have water. If he did not meet people or water, he would be in a dangerous situation.
But if he did not continue searching, he would be roasted under the sun and would not last long either. He could only dream of being at the 3rd stage now; ye Mo felt helpless, his strength was still too weak.
As he was thinking, Ye Mo suddenly realized the sand under his feet seemed to be flowing slowly. However, that speed was extremely slow, and if Ye Mo did not have any spirit feelings, he would definitely not be able to say it. Ye Mo focused again and found that all the sand was gradually flowing into position under his feet. There is no sand there. What the hell happened
“No sand buildup, this means that all sand has disappeared underground ... Disappear underground?” Ye Mo was shocked. Since it disappeared underground, it meant that the ground beneath it had to be empty. Thinking of this, he no longer dared to remain here. He had already used as much strength as he could, so if there was a sudden sand vortex, he would not have the means to escape.
But just as Ye Mo was thinking about this and wanted to leave, the sand under his feet suddenly started to spin. Ye Mo felt it was hollow under his feet and he was about to drown.
But soon, he felt that something was wrong. Even though he jumped, the suction under his feet was still there, and he had no landing spot.
A few days ago, maybe he could run out of the whirlpool with a burst of strength. But now, he could only watch as he slowly descended. Even if he used his Chi to the maximum, he could only at most slow down the speed of the descent.
The chi in his body was no longer enough to support him move.
Ye Mo sighed. He had not expected to die like this in the desert. At this moment, she thought of many things: Luo Ying's smile and voice circulated around her, as well as what Ning Qingxue said that night, she said, “Things I left in the park are for Ye Mo.” He was stunned at the time.
Just when Ye Mo was about to accept the fate of being devoured by sand. He suddenly felt his waist tight as a strand of white clothes wrapped around his waist. Even though he was stunned for a while while being devouring sand, he would not let such an opportunity pass. He immediately grabbed the strand and just as he was ready to pull away, he felt his waist tight, and he was thrown up.
When he fell on the hard sand ground, the white strand was taken back.
Ye Mo was astonished, this person's ability was a level higher than Hu Qiu whom he had met last time. Who is this guy? Standing 10 meters away from Ye Mo was a woman in a pale yellow dress. He had a cloth covering his face and was staring at Ye Mo now. His eyes were clear and excited giving people calmness.
It was really such a woman, and she was still wearing a dress in the desert? If Ye Mo was not a cultivator, he would think this woman was a goddess; however, Ye Mo would obviously not believe so. Although he could not see her face, the temperament and body of this woman were already indescribable.
The faint yellow dress stood under the scorching sun without moving at all as if she was an Immortal goddess. However, the backpack behind her also told people that she was not a goddess. He was also someone who came to explore the desert.
Her hair was a bit messy, but the few black strands that came out made her feel like a goddess.
Seeing him, Ye Mo seemed to see his master Luo Ying who had just stood in front of him. He can't help but call, “Master!” It was at that moment that he felt he was in love with this woman. This was the first woman he had actually fallen in love with other than Luo Ying. Even for Luo Ying, she only realized her dependence later on.
This woman looked at the messy face of Ye Mo who had nothing with her. Then when he heard Ye Mo mutter “Tuan”, he couldn't help but frown, but that was it. He didn't say anything.
Ye Mo came to his senses. He already understood that the woman in front of him was no ordinary woman. Otherwise, he would not have come to the desert dressed like this. He turned around and looked at the whirlpool, but it had already disappeared.
He knew this woman had saved his life and was also aware of his irreverence, so he quickly saluted with his fists and said, “Thank you, Sister, for saving my life.”
“Kakak?” The woman seemed to be stunned at the way Ye Mo called out to her. He saw Ye Mo almost drown in the floating sand and knew his bag might be preyed upon by the sand, but he still did not say anything. He simply took out a bag of water and biscuits and threw them at Ye Mo.
Ye Mo picked up the items but did not open the bag to drink first. Instead, he saluted with his fist once again and said, “Thank you for giving me water, if I, Ye Mo, don't die, I'll pay you back.”
The woman saw Ye Mo's actions and said nothing; however, she felt even stranger. He saw that Ye Mo's lips were drying up, so obviously, he hadn't drank water for a long time. Usually, someone who does not drink water for a long time in the desert will run and drink as much as they see the water. However, this man despite looking a bit rundown was not worried about being crushed by the sand. He even looked calm and spoke in a very literate manner.
Ye Mo saw this woman just looking at him but not speaking; however, he did not mind. He could tell that this woman did not live in the city; otherwise, she would not have dressed like this. He had already thanked her, so he opened the bag and drank over 10 mouthfuls. However, he did not stick his mouth into the bag and poured it instead.
Does he mind him? She was not drunk from the bag but seeing Ye Mo's way of drinking, she felt even more shocked. He was very thirsty, but he only drank a little more than 10 mouthfuls. This person's self-control and heart are completely stable.
However, what surprised him even more was that Ye Mo returned the water bag.
This woman frowned. Of course, he would not take back anything he gave, especially after Ye Mo got drunk from him. Even though he didn't touch his mouth with it, he still didn't want it back. Suddenly, this woman wondered if this man had planned to return the bag to her after drinking which was why he had not touched it with his mouth. He was in the desert without water, but he could still return this bag of water to him?
