Chapter 150 Feast
"Steel Dragon..."
Of course Di Tian knew this name.
"It is not a soul beast."
————————————————
"Let's go."
Gu You took the lead and walked out of the town carrying a huge luggage, followed closely by Tang San and Nightingale.
The three of them were wrapped tightly, and even the thick-skinned Gu You carefully put on gloves and a headscarf. He also wears a pair of goggles on his face, so he could be on a different set to fight terrorism.
Nightingale didn't wear her favorite long dress, but instead put on adventure clothes, and her ruby-like eyes were also covered by goggles.
"Xiaoyou, do we need to dress like this?"
Trekking on the endless wasteland, under the scorching sun, Tang San felt that this place was even hotter than next to the stove, as if he was in the legendary Flame Mountain.
Gu You also felt very uncomfortable. He had never been to the desert in his previous life in a coastal city. All his impressions of the desert came from Pei Ye, the 2022 World Cup, afforestation, and the Dio team in Egypt.
But I saw that people in the desert were dressed like this, and even the people on Douluo Continent were also dressed like this. There is no need to be unique, just follow the others.
"This outfit is the most suitable for the desert of death." A somewhat dull but clearly clear and melodious voice came, "If you dress as you did when you came here, you will die here in less than half a day."
"Why can such a pleasant voice say such vulgar words?" Gu You cursed silently.
No one would curse their "employer" and die in a short time. With my body, I would definitely be able to persist for a day.
I guessed right about this ancient tour. With the power of the ultimate teleportation beast, he would not die so easily in the desert. But it's just immortality. Lack of water will cause loss of mobility, and there is probably no chance of waiting for rescue in the desert of death.
"Xiaoyou, what is that?"
Tang San patted Gu You on the shoulder and looked ahead with a surprised expression.
Gu You looked up and saw a group of spirit beasts slowly walking towards the three of them. The leading spirit beast let out a high-pitched cry, and its thick limbs stepped on the ground, sending bursts of dust.
After a brief observation, Gu You replied: "That is a very common spirit beast here, we don't need to worry about it."
Tang San was doubtful, after all, the leading spirit beast was huge and was the largest spirit beast he had seen so far.
Although he couldn't see Gu You's face, seeing his relaxed movements, Tang San quickly followed him, his body tense, ready to fight at any moment.
Passed by by mistake, nothing happened.
Gu You knew what Tang San wanted to ask without turning around, "The name of the spirit beast is herbivorous beast, and it has almost no aggression. As long as we don't attack them actively, they won't attack us."
"Such soul beasts can be seen everywhere outside the Death Desert. Their biggest feature is that they have a lot of meat on their bodies. Didn't we eat the special kebab here yesterday, which is the meat of herbivorous beasts."
"Even though it was as big as the leader of the herbivorous beast just now, it is actually just a century-old spirit beast."
Tang San turned back three times, looking at the retreating figure of the herbivorous beast. He wanted to speak, but didn't know how to speak.
Gu You stopped, picked up the map he bought at a high price, and carefully compared the surrounding terrain.
Rock walls, boulders, and stone pillars appeared from time to time. Gu You clicked on the map.
"Go northeast and bypass a boulder to reach supply point No. 23. After repairing there overnight, enter the central area."
"Xiao You, what is the difference between the outer area and the central area?"
"The Death Desert is divided into three areas, the outer area, the middle area and the core area."
Gu You stepped on the solid ground and said, "The location we are in now is the periphery."
Put away the map and continue to move forward.
"The biggest feature of the periphery is the hard ground and although it is sparse, there is still vegetation."
"The central area begins to develop towards the desert. It is a mixed state of wasteland and desert. It is also our destination this time."
"The last one is the core area. A huge desert stretching as far as the eye can see, a place of death that even a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse cannot pass through."
"Because it is as big as an ocean, the core of the Dead Desert is also named the Great Sand Sea."
Tang San nodded, Gu You's thoughts on this were of no use. People who have never seen the desert can't imagine how terrible the desert is. When Tang San saw it, he knew how poor his imagination was.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sun struggled to give off its last ray of light in the west. After encountering three more waves of herbivorous beasts, the three of them finally arrived at the peripheral supply point No. 23.
Supply Point No. 23, a small shelter based on an oasis. Except for a few houses in the center, the others are all kinds of tents. At a glance, you can even see people setting up stalls in front of the tents.
Normally, one should now lament that there can be such a dense population in such a harsh environment. But Gu You and Tang San felt almost exhausted, and Nightingale was unwilling to speak. The three of them found an open space to set up their tents and prepared to rest.
Nightingale, who liked to be alone, went straight into the tent, and Guyou, who still had some requirements for food, lit a bonfire and prepared to reward himself with some barbecue.
Although Tang San was very tired, he would not leave Gu You alone outside. He forced himself to cheer up and have dinner with Gu You.
Just as Gu You was chopping onions, a hearty voice came from the side: "Hey, two little brothers, are you still used to this place?"
Gu You looked up and saw a strong man with a beard on his face smiling and waving at him.
"Captain, you are very rude. Sorry, we will leave now." A tall and thin young man came over and took the strong man away.
Gu You and Tang San looked at each other, not knowing what the two were doing here.
After eating some grilled herbivorous beast skewers and some fruits in the soul guide, Gu You rinsed his mouth with water and prepared to rest.
"Xiao You, there is singing over there."
Tang San's hearing was very sharp. As the surroundings gradually quieted down, he found that there was singing coming from the center of the supply point, and there were also many noisy voices. So he told Gu You to see what he would decide.
Gu You turned his head and did hear the faint singing coming from the night wind. Gu You's idea of joining in the fun rushed to his head, and he called Tang San to walk in the direction where the singing came from.
After walking for about ten minutes, passing through countless tents and coming to the center, Gu You saw a group of people singing and dancing around the campfire, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Gu You and Tang San stared at the scene in amazement. Not only Gu You, but also many onlookers had the same expression.
"Little brother, do you want to join us?"
A familiar voice came, and when he turned around, he found that it was the strange uncle he had just seen. The tall and thin young man next to him covered his face, looking ashamed to see people.
"Hello, this is our first time in this Death Desert. May I ask what we are doing here?"
This is a dangerous life-forbidden zone. It's okay if you are not careful, but you are singing and dancing here. Aren't you a little bit underestimating the soul beasts here?
The strong man burped, and then Gu You found that his eyes were a little hazy and his cheeks were red. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot.
He waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I know, I know you are not from here when I see you look like you."
"We don't have people with skin as good as yours."
Gu You looked at his arm, then looked at the strong man in front of him, and found that he was right. Although his skin was a little dark due to training, it was completely two degrees compared to the strong man.
"Here." The tall and thin young man handed over two glasses of juice.
Tang San smelled it and found that it was a smell he had never tasted before, sour and sweet, and it smelled quite appetizing.
"Sea buckthorn juice, the juice squeezed from the fruit of a plant called sea buckthorn that is unique to us. It tastes great, I believe you will like it."
A quick glance around found that many people around were drinking this orange liquid. Gu You and Tang San also took a sip.
"Delicious!"
Gu You widened his eyes. This sour and sweet taste was great and quite appetizing. Gu You felt that the food he had just eaten was not full.
Tang San felt completely different. He just felt that his originally tired body seemed to be moisturized and rejuvenated.
"Great, right?" Looking at the expressions of the two, the strong man said with a smile.
The young man handed over a kettle, "Don't worry, there are plenty of these, you can drink as much as you want."
Gu You thanked the two, drank the sea buckthorn juice in the cup, and asked: "Two big brothers, what are you doing here, why are you singing and dancing here?"
Hearing Gu You's question, the strong man was stunned at first, "Don't you know? Then what are you doing here?"
"Should we know?" Gu You and Tang San looked at each other, and this sentence popped up in their minds at the same time.
Gu You replied: "We came here to hunt souls, because we heard that the soul beasts we need are in the central area near the supply point No. 23, so we will enter the central area tomorrow after resting here."
"So that's it, we came here to hunt souls." The strong man touched his beard, "Then what soul beast are you looking for?"
"It's a thousand-year-level firefly sunflower."
"Firefly sunflower, it's rare to choose this soul beast as a soul ring."
The strong man was amazed, almost no soul master would choose firefly sunflower as a soul ring, the reason is that its ability is too strange.
Firefly Sunflower, as a plant-type soul beast, shows the attribute of fire, but in fact it has no fire attribute.
This means that except for soul masters with fire-attributed plant souls, other soul masters with plant souls will not choose it as a soul ring, even if the soul beast is very strong.
"Let me tell you a message. I have seen a thousand-year-old firefly sunflower in the northeast of the supply point, located in a relatively deep position in the central area. If you don't mind, you can go and have a look."
"Also, we..."
"Captain, it's our turn!"
A voice called from a distance, and the strong man turned back and shouted: "I know, I'll come right away."
"You will be fine if you pay attention when hunting souls. Don't go to the core area. It's safe in the central area."
With Gu You and Tang San full of question marks on their faces, the strong man smiled mysteriously and turned away with the young man.
"What are you doing, so mysterious." Gu You complained, and didn't want to stay here, so he turned and left.
Back in the tent, Tang San asked, "Xiao You, do you know what he was talking about?"
Gu You shook his head and replied, "I don't know, the feast they are talking about... may be the Great Desert Feast in the records."
There are not many books about the Death Desert in the Notting City Spirit Hall. Gu You only found some books about the Death Desert in the Dragon Snake Family's collection.
Otherwise, according to Gu You's knowledge at the time, Tang San's third soul ring is probably the abandoned Sealing Cactus.
"Feast?"
If it was a feast, then it would explain why so many people were singing and dancing. But Tang San didn't understand why a feast had to be held in a place like the Life Forbidden Zone.
"There are very few records about the Great Desert Feast. It is only said that it is a feast where disaster and harvest coexist, and only the strong can gain from this feast."
The records in the book that Gu You saw were very mysterious. Like "After the disaster of the Great Sand Sea, the joy of harvest will be on everyone's face", and "This is a symbol of courage and prosperity. Only those who can get rewards in disasters are true heroes."
Gu You was stunned, thinking that this place also had some kind of divine test, and from time to time, a large-scale event would come and wholesale the divine soul rings.
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense, how can "after the disaster, there is a harvest"?
On the way back, Gu You also asked other people. Except for those foreign soul masters who also said that they didn't know, the other local soul masters just smiled mysteriously and said nothing, which made Gu You want to punch them.
"Don't think about it, go to sleep."
In the end, Gu You gave up. Since the strong man said that there would be no danger if he didn't leave the central area, then safety was guaranteed.
"No one can make me step out of the central area!" Thinking silently, Gu You fell into a deep sleep.
………
Under the white moonlight, the big sand sea at night was like a layer of white gauze, completely without the horror of the scorching sun during the day.
Boom~~~
In the empty desert, a moving mountain suddenly rose. In the sand sea, it was like the dorsal fin of a shark on the sea, cutting through the desert and raising dust.
………
"Isn't it a soul beast?"
When I asked Gu You that day, Gu You couldn't answer Xiao Wu's question.
This world has long been unrecognizable, an unheard-of life forbidden zone, and even Gu You couldn't guarantee how big the 100,000-year soul beast is.
The body size of the million-year soul beast Deep Sea Demon Whale King is 200 meters, while the 100,000-year soul beast Titan Giant Ape is only seven or eight meters tall. Only looking at the size and not the cultivation, a Deep Sea Demon Whale King can beat at least 20 Titan Giant Apes, which is totally unreasonable.
Therefore, Xiao Wu could only hide this question in her heart and ask the Beast God Di Tian. But she never thought that she would hear an answer that she could never imagine.
"Yes, it does look like a soul beast, but in fact, it is not from our soul beast family."

ps1: I know some friends can guess what it is at a glance, please don't spoil it!!!
In addition, this plot will not be very long, and the main thing is to get the third soul ring.
ps2: The Wuhun Hall can't manage this kind of place. The local soul masters form a team to maintain the hard-won supply point and charge to enter. So no one is needed to keep watch.
Let me say it again, I just haven't determined the heroine, not the hero! ! ! Please recommend and monthly votes~~~
