The night enveloped the vast desert, and the endless yellow sand glowed with a cold luster under the moonlight.

This once prosperous land is now just a wasteland.

The scattered cacti swayed in the night breeze, casting mottled shadows.

The occasional howling of wild beasts in the distance made the silent night even more desolate.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and a biting cold wind whistled past, blowing up yellow sand all over the sky.

This kind of weather is normal for the desert.

But for Feiying now, it is undoubtedly an extra torture.

Feiying carried Shawan on her back and struggled forward in the desert.

Every step on the soft sand made the already tired body even more strenuous.

Her breathing was a little rapid and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The aftereffects of the poison gas had not completely subsided, and coupled with the ordeal just now, she felt her strength was rapidly draining away.

"You little brat, you're really deep..."

Feiying panted and complained unhappily.

"You usually look skinny and small, how come you're carrying such a heavy load? I really don't understand where all the fat has gone!"

She deliberately used this relaxed tone to relieve the pressure.

But in fact, her legs had begun to weaken.

The weight on her back made every step she took extremely difficult, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Sha Wan seemed to gradually regain consciousness, but her mind was still a little fuzzy.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, and she uttered an indistinct sound:

"Um...where is this...?"

Her voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, as if it would disappear in the wind at any moment.

She struggled to move, but she had no strength left in her body.

The aftereffects of having a large amount of blood drawn were still continuing, causing her to lose even the most basic ability to move.

The life force in his body seemed to be drained away, and even speaking seemed extremely difficult.

"Hurry... let me go..."

Sha Wan's voice was weak and intermittent, with a hint of resistance.

"I don't want you to carry me...put me down..."

"Come on! You're already so weak, just behave yourself!"

Feiying responded unhappily, with a tone of disappointment.

"Do you think you can still walk now? If I leave you like this, you might become a dried corpse in the desert before dawn."

Hearing this, Sha Wan suddenly became quiet.

She fell silent for a moment, as if trying to process the situation.

Those broken fragments of memory began to emerge in her mind, and each one made her feel deeply humiliated and angry.

After a long while, she spoke again, with obvious resistance in her voice:

"I don't need you to save me! I'd rather die here than accept your help!"

"Do you think I want to save you?" Feiying sneered and quickened her pace.

"If it wasn't for Baiying, if I didn't need you to find clues to open the Eternal Spirit Realm, do you think I would be so kind?"

"Wouldn't it be easier to just let you fend for yourself?"

"Stop acting like a princess here. You can't even stand steadily right now, why are you pretending to be so noble?"

When the name Baiying was mentioned, Sha Wan's originally hazy consciousness instantly became a little clearer.

Her body trembled slightly, and her voice was filled with anger and unwillingness:

"That woman deceived us! She is not a kind person at all! She has been using us from the beginning!"

Sha Wan's voice became more and more excited, but her body kept shaking due to weakness.

The feeling of being deceived and betrayed made her feel extremely humiliated.

"What can we do? Who made us so stupid to trust her so easily?"

There was deep helplessness in Feiying's tone.

"I should have noticed it from the beginning. How could such an overly perfect performance be real?"

"It's no use regretting now. It's already become like this."

She paused for a moment and continued:

"The most important thing now is to find a way to contact the principal first."

"Although I don't know why they let us go so easily, I always feel that things are not that simple."

"Once we regain our strength, we have to find a way to go back and rescue Violet and the others."

Feiying looked at the dark night sky around her and continued walking forward.

She didn't have any communication equipment with her, and there was no way to find any usable communication equipment in such a remote place.

In this kind of place, not to mention contacting the school, even the most basic survival supplies cannot be found.

The only way now is to leave this desert area as soon as possible and find the nearest town or village.

But this area was so unfamiliar that she had no idea in which direction the nearest human settlement was.

The dense quicksand is like a huge net, and you can easily fall into it if you are not careful.

The cold wind carried tiny grains of sand that kept blowing on my face, stinging me like countless tiny needles.

Feiying had to squint her eyes and use her hands to block the flying sand.

Moving forward in such a harsh environment is much more difficult than imagined.

"Hey......"

Sha Wan's weak voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

"Although I don't know who the school principal you are talking about is..."

"But are you sure you're not going the wrong way? Where are you going now?"

Feiying's steps suddenly paused, her expression slightly hesitant.

She could feel Sha Wan on her back, although she was weak.

But consciousness was gradually returning.

"Forehead......"

Listening to Sha Wan's words.

Feiying began to look around carefully.

The endless desert looks particularly desolate under the moonlight.

Similar landforms can be found everywhere, with rolling sand dunes rising and falling like huge waves.

There were absolutely no visible landmarks to indicate direction.

This feeling of unfamiliarity made her feel even more uneasy.

There were a few wolf howls in the distance, which sounded particularly clear in the quiet night.

Feiying subconsciously tensed her body and vigilantly observed the movements around her.

But in fact, she had no idea which direction she was going.

I was in such a panic when I escaped from the ruins, and it was already dark, so I couldn't tell the directions at all.

"Depend on......"

Feiying finally had to face reality, "I seem to be... lost? There's not even a signpost in this crappy place..."

Sha Wan waited a long time for Feiying's response and soon realized the problem.

Even though she was so weak that she was about to faint, she couldn't help but taunt:

"Sure enough, you don't know the direction at all."

"I knew I couldn't count on a brainless guy like you. I don't understand why you rushed forward so confidently."

"What did you say?" Feiying immediately retorted angrily, with obvious anger in her tone, "It's so dark now, what can I do?"

"And I know the academy is in the east, so now as long as we go east, we won't go wrong!"

"So... are you heading east now?" Sha Wan's tone was full of obvious sarcasm: "If you don't even know which direction you are heading, don't pretend to know it here."

"Ah this..."

Feiying was stunned by the question, and her voice suddenly became weak:

"Should...right? Anyway, we can always get out by walking this way..."

In fact, Manzhu Academy does have geography courses, and also teaches various skills for survival in the wild.

From identifying directions to finding water sources, from avoiding danger to finding food, these are the most basic compulsory courses for adventurers.

But for Feiying, she never felt that these cultural courses were of any use.

In her opinion, instead of wasting time learning these boring knowledge, it is better to focus all her energy on practicing the exercises.

The most important thing is to master your fairy power and improve your combat ability.

Anyway, the standard for a team of extraordinary people is three people.

Whether it's Violet or Jasmine, they are better at these messy things than himself.

Anyway, her sisters are taking care of her, so she just needs to focus on becoming stronger.

Because of this, she couldn't even do the most basic direction identification in the wild.

This behavior is totally unlike that of a qualified adventurer.

"You idiot..."

Sha Wan sighed weakly, her voice full of helplessness.

"You can't even tell the direction, and you dare to take me wandering around in the desert."

"What if we encounter a sandstorm? What if we encounter wild animals in the desert?"

"Do you really want to torture both of us to death here?"

"Stop nagging! It's none of your business!" Feiying blushed.

But what Sha Wan said makes a lot of sense.

She couldn't refute it, so she could only continue to be strong:

"We can always find a way out! At worst we can just wait until daybreak!"

"Find a way out? With a fool like you who can't even tell east from west?"

Although Sha Wan's voice was weak, the mocking tone remained the same:

"I see you don't even know the most basic common sense of survival? Walking around in the desert at this time is no different from seeking death."

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

Feiying was a little annoyed by what she said, "If you are so smart, you should think of a way out!"

"Let's find a sheltered place to rest first."

Sha Wan's voice began to become weak again. It was obvious that she had said too many words with all her might.

"I told you how to go... If you walk around like this, it will only put us in more danger."

After hearing Shawan's words, Feiying did not continue to be stubborn this time.

Even if I am unwilling in my heart.

But the reality forced her to bow her head.

After all, in such a dangerous environment, being willful and aggressive will only hurt yourself.

The feeling made her very uncomfortable, as if she had swallowed a fly.

After all, the other person grew up in the desert and must be more familiar with this area than himself.

If we want to get out of the desert safely now, we may really have to rely on Sha Wan's help.

This realization made Feiying feel very uncomfortable.

But she could only put aside her pride temporarily.

And the current situation is indeed not optimistic.

Looking around, Feiying soon found a relatively sheltered place.

There are several huge rocks there that form a simple natural barrier. Although it is not very perfect, it can at least block most of the wind and sand.

Judging from the shape of the rock, it must have been formed through years of weathering.

Although it is not the most ideal resting place, it is the only thing we can do under the circumstances.

It's much better than wandering around in the desert.

At least this place can temporarily block the howling cold wind, allowing the two of them to catch their breath.

She walked over quickly and put Shawan on the ground rudely.
