Chapter 86 The Mysterious Gobi Desert

Chapter 86 The Mysterious Gobi Desert

Upon hearing Omar's account, Cheng Xu and Fields immediately looked around at their surroundings.

All around was a scorched brown ocean, the horizon twisting and shimmering in the sweltering heat, blurring and merging with the blindingly pale sky.

The land is mainly composed of hardened saline-alkali soil, black gravel, and scattered exposed sandstone bedrock eroded into bizarre shapes by wind.

This stretch of Gobi Desert offers an extremely wide view, lacking prominent landmarks, with only some low mounds whose edges have been smoothed by wind and sand.

Cheng Xu did not immediately accept Omar's proposal.

He needed to learn more about the strange situation in this Gobi Desert.

Under his questioning, Omar did not hide anything—in fact, they had been trapped there for several hours and were already extremely worried.

"We met the little girl about five hours ago, and she had wandered into this Gobi Desert four hours earlier."

According to Omar, when they entered the Gobi Desert, they did not feel anything was wrong until, after traveling for some time, they were horrified to find that the marks they had set up along the way had reappeared in front of them.

When Omar's team saw the same sign for the third time, a small panic broke out within the team.

If it weren't for Omar's own prestige as captain, which allowed him to forcefully control his subordinates, some of them would probably have already fled in panic out of fear.

Omar had no idea what trouble he and his companions had encountered, so he could only use the most rudimentary method, maintaining a fighting stance as he advanced step by step.

However, this attempt also failed.

"Every time we travel a certain distance, the surrounding scenery will change back to a familiar look, and then we'll see signal markers that have only been set up recently."

Omar's teeth ached as he recounted the bizarre experiences that had befallen him and his group.

He had participated in countless tribal wars, but he had never seen anything like it before.

The unknown often brings endless fear.

Enveloped by phenomena beyond their comprehension, trapped in the Gobi Desert, every member of the Sigu tribe present was utterly exhausted.

They carried limited supplies, which could not be replenished in time in the harsh wilderness.

The countdown to death has quietly begun.

If one is unable to escape the Gobi Desert, the only outcome will be to be buried here forever.

So when Omar saw Cheng Xu and his group, even though he was desperate, he still asked to join forces.

"Fields, go check if the aircraft's communication devices are working properly."

"Okay, Brother Cheng."

A few minutes later, Fields rushed back from the aircraft, shaking his head with a serious expression.

The communication device was indeed unusable, which was terrible news, but it was also within Cheng Xu's expectations.

"Fields, you stay here, I'll go check and be right back."

Faced with this strange Gobi Desert, Cheng Xu decided to first investigate the situation himself before making a decision based on the results.

Both the spaceship and Fields were carrying a considerable amount of weapons and supplies. If Omar's description is true, then there shouldn't be any safety issues in the short term.

The main purpose of keeping Fields behind was to ensure the safety of the Congrett siblings.

After all, the conflict between the Sandblood and the Sibone tribes was so intense that it could be described as a blood feud spanning generations.

As Cheng Xu's figure slowly walked away, Omar had no choice but to order his men to rest and wait in place.

There was absolutely no way they could get out of the Gobi Desert on their own. All their hopes rested on whether these two "tourists" could make a groundbreaking discovery.

The members of the Bone Tribe remained where they were, resting and recuperating, while Fields sat with the Congrett siblings.

In the desolate Gobi Desert, two circles, one large and one small, fell into a long silence.

Perhaps due to the intense heat, or perhaps because the wait was too unbearable, Omar's voice finally broke the silence.

"You're that kid from the Sandblood tribe, aren't you? I saw you during the war in the Khalgan ruins."

Congrett glanced at Omar, initially not wanting to speak, but then, remembering that it was his "enemy" who had saved his sister, he finally nodded slightly.

Upon seeing his actions, a series of shouts and discussions arose from the Sigu tribe's ranks.

"People of the Sandblood tribe?"

"I knew that guy looked familiar—"

"Could it be that young man from the rumors who's fearless when it comes to fighting? He killed four members of our tribe in the battle of the Khalgan ruins!"

Immediately, someone stood up and walked towards Congrett.

"Panabaya!"

At Omar's stern rebuke, the lean man who had stood up paused, his face showing struggle, but ultimately he did not continue forward.

Omar looked at Fields, who was holding a weapon and looking wary, and nodded slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, a distant relative of Panama died in the Khargans Wars, killed by the boy behind you."

Congrett remained silent.

The atmosphere between the two sides was almost frozen.

In wars between two major tribes, it is quite normal for there to be casualties. Anyone who survives the war often has the blood of the other tribe on their hands.

Seeing this, Fields roughly understood why the hatred between the two tribes was so difficult to resolve, and they almost only thought about annihilating each other's tribes to prevent future troubles.

This is also what puzzles Congrett: why his sister was completely unharmed when she encountered the Bone Clan, and why the Clan even took the time to protect her?

"Hmph, even though we have a grudge, I would never do something like harming an innocent child."

Omar seemed to have read Congrett's mind and spat out a mouthful of saliva without expression.

He turned back to his men and said, "Barnabayar, we're all in this together now. Whatever grudges we have, we'll settle them once we're out of this wretched desert!"

"Yes, boss." Barnabasa's deep voice came out as he walked back to his previous position with his head down.

Emily blinked her big eyes, sensing the strange atmosphere in the room, and subconsciously leaned against her brother.

Fields sighed inwardly and decided that once they were out of the Gobi Desert, he would take the Congrett siblings away as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

The somber atmosphere was finally broken by the sound of light footsteps.

Cheng Xu's figure appeared at the edge of the field of vision.

However, he did not return from the direction he had just been heading; instead, he appeared directly behind the group.

It's like going in circles and ending up back where you started.

At the same time, Cheng Xu, who saw Fields and the others, also stopped and looked around.

As Omar said, this desert holds a silent eeriness.
