The scenery along the way was changing, but in Zengjun's eyes, the grass and trees were gradually becoming sparse. Obviously, the place they were going to would be very remote.

However, Zengjun had no plan to run away. He wanted to use this opportunity to experience new things. Maybe he could unexpectedly run into some acquaintances, maybe even Bu Xue or Mo Wan. Of course, this was not realistic...

Continuing on the road, some small houses gradually appeared in front of them, with many double-humped animals inside. However, for Zengjun, all he had to do was follow them.

After a while, they arrived at the small house, and the one among the eight of them who was closest to Zengjun shouted at him to dismount.

Zengjun jumped off the horse by stepping on the saddle and was led in the middle of the eight people.

The leader walked into the hut, and after a while an old man came out with him. The leader signaled others to follow him.

Everyone followed the old man, leading their horses. The old man brought them to a breeding area full of animals with double humps, and in the pen next to it were some horses that were being replaced.

The old man said to the leader, "Thank you for the hard work along the way. Please let the camels take you for the rest of the journey." Then he turned around and opened the door that locked the camels.

The leader said to everyone, "Lead all the horses to the stable."

After saying that, the others led the horses into the stable, and one of them even led the horse that Zengjun had given to him and put it into the stable as well.

The leader looked at Zengjun and stood there, as if waiting for the others to finish so that they could go in and switch to another animal.

"What are you waiting for? Come and change camels."

Zengjun looked at the others who were still releasing their horses and said, "Aren't you going to wait for them?"

"They are resting after releasing the horses. I will take you the rest of the way. It's just the two of us."

After listening to this, Zengjun said "Okay" and walked to the door of the circle.

The man went in and led out two strong camels, and handed the rope of one to Zengjun.

The man rode on the camel, and the old man walked up to him, handed him two water bottles, and then handed a water bottle to Zengjun.

Zengjun then rode on the camel first and then took the water bottle from the old man.

The leader rode a camel in front and said, "Let's go."

Zengjun also followed him on a camel.

After riding out of the hut, Zeng Jun rode next to the man and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"

After hearing this, the man asked the camel under his crotch to walk faster and looked forward, as if he didn't take Zengjun's words seriously at all. "If it were someone else, I would really call a few more escorts."

Zengjun also asked the camel to speed up and catch up with the man in front. "What's the difference between me and others? I wanted to pretend to be injured and escape at first."

The man also smiled and said, "Yeah, you made me very worried at first, but the strange thing is that you were very quiet along the way. I looked at you several times, and there was no change on your face. You were so calm, and you didn't show any fear at all."

"Is that so? Just because of this, you trust me? Aren't you afraid that I might be thinking of some escape plan or something?"

The man turned around and looked at Zeng Jun, "I'm very good at judging people. You're not that kind of person. In fact, I feel like you came here voluntarily. I don't know if it's an illusion."

Zengjun pointed to the sand around him and said, "Where is this place? What are those things on the ground?"

The man was a little confused, then he got off the camel, bent down, grabbed a handful of sand and handed it to Zengjun's camel, "You can feel it."

Zengjun pinched some of the sand in his hand with his right hand and felt it.

"Soft," then Zengjun opened his hands, poured the sand in his hands back to the ground, clapped his hands, not wanting to take anything away, even if it was just a little less in this vast desert.

The man patted the sand in his hands, got back on the camel, and said, "See, that's why I said you are different," and continued riding the camel on his way.

Zengjun continued to follow, "It's hard to tell the direction here, you don't have any tools, how do you know where we are going?"

He pointed to a piece of paper stuck to the back of the camel, which had the number 9 written on it.

Zengjun looked at what he was looking at and also looked in the direction he was looking at, "Hmm? Six, is this the tool that can help you find your destination?"

"Um, it's 9. Did you know that the animal under our crotch is called a camel?"

"Camel, and what, does that have anything to do with where we're going?"

"The camel is a magical animal. If you kill its baby camel in front of it, then as long as you set it free, it will first go to the place where the baby camel was killed."

'A bit cruel'

He remained silent and continued riding his camel.

The night gradually deepened, Zeng Jun was still following behind him, and suddenly a piece of clothing was thrown to him. Zeng Jun took the clothes, and the man blew a few breaths on his hands and said, "It's getting dark, and it will be very cold here at night, so put it on."

Zengjun looked at the clothes in his hands, "What about you?"

He rubbed his hands together. "This means we are not far from our destination, so you will need it more."

Zengjun threw the clothes back to him and said, "Although I don't know what you mean, I accept your kindness." Zengjun looked into the distance. He had already seen a group of people waiting there with torches. He even knew that he had been sold, but with him by his side all the way, he felt a little warm in his heart.

Walking slowly, I came to the group of people.

The leader inside saw someone coming and stepped forward to greet them. He and Zengjun looked at each other, but he seemed unhappy.

The man who brought Zeng Jun got off the camel. As soon as he got off the camel, he was grabbed by the clothes and yelled at, "Just one person? Do you know how many people I lost the last time the demons came?"

He hesitantly explained, "Although there is only one, he is an excellent archer."

"Huh? Have you seen it?" The man held the clothes tighter.

"No, I haven't seen it, but I brought the person you wanted as requested."

The man put his face close to him and said, "You mean we said we would only bring one?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

"Okay, let's arrange accommodation first. That's it for today. Bring it here tomorrow so I can see the stuff." A man's slightly hoarse voice came from the tent.

After hearing this, the man put down the collar he was holding. Then he pointed at Zeng Jun and said, "You, why don't you come down? Do you want me to invite you down?"

After hearing this, Zengjun also got off the camel. After all, he had to listen to the arrangements first.

He walked up to Songjun and said, "I'll take you to where you live later."

Then he turned around and said coldly to the person who brought the gift, "We had prepared it for you, but you really disappointed us adults, so we won't let you stay overnight today."

"Okay, then please prepare a camel for my return trip."

He signaled his men to prepare camels for his return journey.

"Let him sleep with me. It's me who made him wait so long."

Another voice came from the tent, "You are affectionate, so let him spend the night with you tonight."
