Chapter 92: Enchanted Illusory Scent

  I and Bai Mo chose to take the leftmost road, and this road was even longer than imagined.

  Clutching the map in his hand, it was also marked on it, after walking for a while, there would be a place called Jin Se Xiao Zhen.

  However, the town did not see that at the end of the road was a boundless expanse of golden desert, which was different from what I had imagined. And on this vast desert, there wasn't even a bit of green.

  Damn it, the map has errors again, the town is not visible, but the desert is.

  A surge of anger rushed to my head, I could only casually throw the map on the ground, furrowed my brow and couldn't help but complain: "I'm saying, how does he do things? Is this map expired?"

  Bai Mo simply shrugged indifferently, then bent down to grab a handful of sand and swept his thumb over the grains in his hand.

  "Although it looks like desert sand on the surface, this kind of humidity feels just like ordinary sand." Bai Mian's eyes shone brightly as he expressed his opinion.

  Is this just ordinary sand? I find it a bit hard to believe, then, and also grabbed a handful of soil to smell it, even the scent of grass can be smelled. How can there be the scent of grass, that is to say, this place was originally supposed to be a green space.

  If the sandy soil has a fragrance of grass, then it can be said that this place was not originally a desert. But why did it become like this now? What is the secret behind this? Also, will the so-called Seven Sons of the Divine Gate have come here before?

  "According to the original task guide's hint, this place should be called Jinse Town. As for this place, Ba Mian, do you have any understanding of it?" I scattered the soil on the ground and asked Ba Mian with a serious face.

  As the first able-bodied man of the Death Angel Ghosts, he is also a complete martial arts enthusiast. Even if he hadn't been to Jinse Town before, he should have heard something about it! As long as Bai Mo knows a thing or two, I can quickly figure out what's going on in Jinse Town.

  "Jinse Town, although Bai hadn't been here before. But... I've heard that this place used to be a very prosperous town, and it's really beyond my expectations to see it like this now." The sorrow in Bai Mo's eyes deepened. Perhaps he had already thought of something bad after seeing the situation, because a place can't change drastically without reason, and what he saw was a vast wasteland.

  No. To be exact, it's a desert for one person!

  "Let's go for a walk and take a look!" I suggested to Bai Mo, trying to shake off the unclear feeling in my heart. At first, I had hoped to be paired with Bai Mo because he didn't have any romantic interest in me, so I could carry out the task without any distractions. On the other hand, I wasn't very familiar with him, so I was hoping that during the process of completing the task, I would get to know him better.

  Apart from his clean and handsome appearance, he is indeed a very honest and down-to-earth person. Perhaps I should be grateful to have such a partner, it feels more solid.

  "Hmm." Bai Mian responded lightly, walking shoulder to shoulder with me. Looking at him gazing forward, his serious posture seemed to have an invisible halo on him, making me feel a lot more at ease.

  Thinking back to the time when I was with Feng Tuo, I was inexplicably entangled by him, just because I had a face that looked exactly like Mo Qian'er's. This unknowingly added a lot of trouble for myself. It was precisely this reason that made me feel being by Feng Tuo's side was such an oppressive thing, because I felt like I would lose myself and live without substance.

  Now, I can still breathe in the fresh air and see different scenery. Although I don't understand why Jinse Town has become like this, but it's very likely that the handsome guys from the third task will appear here, so I must think of a way to unravel all the mysteries here.

  Yes, for a beautiful future and the right to freedom, I must work hard! I made a silent vow in my heart.

  "Stop." Bai Mie suddenly stopped in his tracks, scanning the surroundings with a vigilant expression, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is even worse than before."

  Indeed, Bai Mo and I walked for almost an hour, but still didn't find anything new. Moreover, the deeper we went, the more scorching the sunlight felt, to the point where I even felt a bit dizzy looking ahead. How could the refreshing air from before become so suffocating as we went further in?

  Is this fake desert, if you go deeper, will it become more like a real desert, and even have a little chance to encroach on the green grassland?

  I'm at a loss for what to do, I have to come up with a countermeasure. Now, wanting to go back seems no longer possible, so the most likely thing is to find a new way out, but will continuing on like this be even more dangerous?

  "Get ready for battle, the enemy is coming." Bai Mian said with a serious expression.

  I couldn't help but envy Bai Mo, although the weather has become scorching hot and unbearable, with temperatures that can burn human skin. However, since Bai Mo is originally wrapped in bandages all over his body, he seems to be unaffected, just like how he's speaking now, still full of energy.

  I wanted to move the corners of my mouth and say something, but I found that my throat was a bit sore, parched to the point of pain! Even sweat kept pouring out, and now, an enemy has appeared!

  One wave subsides, another rises!

  As Bai Mie said, new enemies have arrived. A group of people riding black horses, wearing armor and holding sharp swords, surrounded us in no time.

  Looking at the heavy equipment on them, I couldn't help but feel surprised. Don't they feel hot? Doesn't that horse feel hot either? Or is my physique too poor, which is why I'm feeling so uncomfortable!

  As they approached, each with a fierce glint in their eyes, I also knew that these people were not of the benevolent kind. But what exactly were their roles? Were they originally from Jin Se town or invaders? Somehow, it felt like the latter was more likely.

  But no matter which one it belongs to, I always feel that today's battle is inevitable.

  "Where did you all come from?" A man riding a white horse suddenly walked out of the troops, unlike those black armored soldiers, this man was wearing silver armor and carrying golden sword, his voice was as loud as thunder, at first glance he should be a great general, or it is very likely that he is their master.

  However, judging from the tone of their conversation, I felt that these people should be similar to bandits, but they were wearing regular military uniforms, which made me suspicious and worried that if I offended them, it would lead to a larger organization.

  Just as I was thinking about how to respond, a white figure suddenly flew in, spinning rapidly like a top, with two ribbons streaming out, like a dynamic snake dance, and instantly swept away the soldiers in front of me. Watching them fall to the ground in disarray, I couldn't help but secretly admire the brilliance.

  Unexpectedly, I had already offended them, so I thought that I couldn't just sit and wait for death, and considered throwing out an X-shaped flying dart.

  "You...!" The silver armor-clad man's forehead bulged with blue veins, and he drew out the golden large knife from his waist, shouting at us: "Such arrogant fellows, actually not putting our Tana clan in their eyes, let me use this knife to taste your fresh blood!"

  Listening to what the Silver Armor man said, I think the one who is truly arrogant should be him. He actually thinks that he alone can take on the two of us? Moreover, with those little rascals by his side, even if there were more, they shouldn't be a match for White Bright.

  "Haha, joke!" Bai Mo only laughed a few times, then he was as swift as lightning, and all the bandages on his body burst out, shooting straight at one of them.

  The soldiers took their positions, intending to cut the bandages with their swords, but instead of cutting off the bandages, they were wrapped around their bodies and thrown out like a big ball of cloth.

  The Silver Helmeted Man was quite skilled and used his golden large knife to resist the bandage's attack, and even thought of taking advantage of the situation to attack White Muslin.

  As a comrade of Bai Mian, I couldn't just stand by and watch, so I threw out an X-shaped flying dart.

  The man in silver armor reacted immediately, raised his golden knife and knocked away the X-shaped flying dart.

  Then I turned around and jumped up, catching the returning flying dart. After pressing the button again, the X-shaped flying dart transformed into two long swords.

  "This is...!" The Silver Armor Knight discovered the change in the weapon in my hand and couldn't help but feel astonished.

  However, Bai Mie took advantage of Yin Jia's momentary distraction and launched a heavy blow with his bandages, striking Yin Jia's right arm.

  But this time, the Silver Armor Man was unscathed, and I couldn't help but feel strange. Why did the other soldiers get hit and fly away, while he didn't?

  Could it be that his silver armor has a strong defensive capability? If so, wouldn't he be one of the Seven Sons of the Divine Gate that he's been searching for?

  "Just like you have a divine artifact in your hand, my divine artifact also has its own uniqueness!" I raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. If the other party was indeed the seventh son of the Divine Artifact Gate, that would be great, but what did he mean by mentioning the Tana clan just now?

  Are they an invading foreign nation?

  "Is that so? It seems to be getting more and more interesting." The silver-armored man lowered his head, glanced at the golden great sword in his hand, and lightly touched it with his index finger. Suddenly, the golden body of the sword burst open, and a bright and dripping lily flower appeared.

  Uh... I couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. He wasn't supposed to be making some powerful equipment, so how did he end up with a flower?

  "You're being too careless, aren't you?" I expressed great incomprehension towards the Silver Armor Man's actions.

  Does he really think we're easy to deal with? He actually dares to try to get rid of us with just a lily flower?

  Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came from nowhere, and then, the scent of lilies wafted in...

  This fragrance is just like the taste of a dream, I seem to see butterflies flying in the sky, trees and flowers returning to the earth... When I want to indulge in all this beauty, I suddenly realize a problem.

  No, this is an illusion! And there's no one else around me either. Am I asleep or have I been brought into a dream world?
