At this moment, the entire Thousand Ghosts Cliff\'s sand walls turned queerly gloomier.

"H-How did this happen?"

A voice asked while stuttering. If someone witnessed a bizarre scene, they would no doubt get spooked. The current scene was scarier than the bandits killing others.

"Aaaaahhhh!"

A girl shrieked. She had turned to the side and found that the student beside her had also turned into a skeleton. Moreover, those bones still stood beside her.

"Ghost!"

Whether it be the bandits or the exploration team\'s members, all of them fled from this crevice full of a frightening, sinister breath.

What had happened couldn\'t be done by a human. Even an expert in anatomy couldn\'t turn a person into a skeleton. It appeared as if something had eaten the flesh cleanly off the body.

After going outside, they discovered that the topography outside was completely different from before. It was as if they had entered another desert.

What\'s worse was that the sun was just about to set and the sky was darkening.

"What should we do?"

Meng Fei\'s expression turned ugly as well. Six of his brothers had died. Only around 10 of them remained now, and it was the same for the exploration team. Half of them were dead.

The horses had already run away, and camels would usually lie down on the ground and protect the owner from the sandstorm with their bodies, but they too had fled.

A terrible haze shrouded over everyone\'s hearts.

The curtain of the night slowly approached them.

"What to do now?"

Escape or continue?

The horses and the camels which had run away had most of the supplies with them. They only had a few supplies on them, and those were insufficient to continue traveling in the desert. Let alone, they didn\'t even know where they were due to the sandstorm. Waiting here was no better than waiting for death, and this Thousand Ghosts Cliff was so strange too.

"Fuck! We\'ll die whether we continue ahead or wait! I hear that this Thousand Ghosts Cliff was strange before, but I wasn\'t expecting to get trapped here…"

"Boss, why don\'t we off this group then look for a way to return to the HQ?"

When Xie Ting heard this, she said, "Don\'t waste your time. This is the Thousand Ghosts Cliff. No one will be able to leave once night descends. According to the legends, ghosts come out of the walls here."

The bandit turned pale after hearing this.

"Slut! Who are you trying to scare?"

Xie Ting gazed at him coldly, "It\'s up to you whether you believe it or not…"

What had happened just a while ago was already enough proof that this place was bizarre. As they had spent several years in the desert, they too had heard rumors about the Thousand Ghosts Cliff.

Meng Fei asked, "What are Lady Xie\'s intentions then?" His tone turned politer than before.

"We rest here for a night then think of something tomorrow morning."

Sang Bao pointed the gun towards Xie Ting and screamed at her, "Fuck! Woman, do want us to die? Who\'ll stay behind at this weird place…"

"If something goes wrong, wouldn\'t we also get buried along with you here?" Xie Ting replied.

If something indeed happened, none of them would be able to escape.

"Let\'s rest!" Meng Fei decided.

Sang Bao couldn\'t believe his words, "Boss!"

"I said let\'s rest here… Got it?"

It would waste their strength if they walked blindly and that would result in a fatality. Meng Fei had his own thoughts on it, and none of his subordinates dared to speak against him, so they decided to rest on the ground.

Meng Fei continued, "If I haven\'t guessed it wrong, this place is near to the ancient city. It will take no less than a day to reach there from here."

"Lady Xie, shall we set out tomorrow then?"

Xie Ting naturally didn\'t wish to go there along with these bandits, but the only way to get out of the desert alive was to go to the ancient city. Otherwise, they would all die here.

She went towards Jiang Xiu and sat down beside him without answering the bandit.

It was equivalent to agreeing with him.

"What should we do about the supplies? All the food and water were on the camels. It\'s all gone now."

"Does anyone have water?"

The members of the exploration team shook their head. Water was akin to life during this kind of situation, even more, precious than gold. Even if they had a little, they acted like they didn\'t have anything.

Gulp-Gulp!

Sounds of someone gulping water came through. Everyone looked towards there and saw Jiang Xiu drink water while sitting on the sandstone while appreciating the beautiful desert scenery, gazing at the sandstorm at a distance which still hadn\'t dispersed.

"Will Lady Xie be willing to drink from my canteen?"

Xie Ting was thirsty too. Her tender cherry lips had dried up. Even someone reserved or with mysophobia wouldn\'t decline it. She expressed her heartfelt gratitude and received it, "Thank you."

She didn\'t drink much and returned it to him after moistening her throat a little.

Jiang Xiu smiled at her, "It\'s fine, you can drink more."

Xie Ting thanked him again and took another gulp. She was too thirsty and almost dehydrated. After drinking, she even licked her lips with her tongue. Her face slightly heated up when she saw Jiang Xiu was looking at her with a smile in his gaze and returned the waterskin canteen back to him.

The gazes of the members of the exploration team nearby to them turned greedy. Chen Dewen went towards Jiang Xiu and asked, "Jiang Xiu, can you let me take a sip as well?"

Jiang Xiu smiled coolly, "Do you think I\'ll?"

Chen Dewen\'s expression turned ugly, "N-No?"

"Why did you ask then?"

Chen Dewen got furious that Jiang Xiu was acting like this though he had laid down his face and asked politely, "Jiang Xiu, don\'t act too arrogant. We are after all a team."

"Don\'t you feel ashamed by those words?" Jiang Xiu shot a question at him.

Chen Dewen had imagined that there would come a situation where Jiang Xiu would run out of water then beg him like a dog. He planned to humiliate Jiang Xiu at that moment, but he had never expected the opposite to happen. The people running out of water turned out to be them now, and the one who they were hoping would run out of it still had it. It was quite ironical.

"We were wrong before. We apologize for that…"

"Jiang Xiu, don\'t lower yourself to our levels."

Jiang Xiu said, "If you had said these words before you ran out of water, I would\'ve believed them and pardoned you, but it\'s a pity that you are just saying these words now to get water from me."

"To get benefits, you joined together with Jin Xi to isolate me and now, you act like you\'re lower than me just to survive. You disgust me. Get as far away as possible from here and don\'t appear before my eyes."

Chen Dewen\'s expression turned ashen, "You…"

The other team members looked at him. They hadn\'t realized it before, but after Jiang Xiu explained it, they realized that Chen Dewen was such a vulgar person.

Qiu Yinru also revealed an ashamed face. She too hadn\'t realized her mistake till now. Jiang Xiu had forged ahead on his own until now. She finally understood that Jiang Xiu was a genuine person and he had sincerely come to look for the ancient city. She had promised him she would allow him to accompany them if he solved the Lu Ban\'s Lock before but then reneged on it later. She felt regretful for doing that now.

She could have refused him at the beginning, but she had first promised him then reneged on it and also tried to stop him from coming along. She had always held going to explore as a kind of privilege, but after facing this kind of predicament, she had realized her mistake.

It seems like I owe him an apology.

Only, with Jiang Xiu\'s personality, he wouldn\'t accept it. Also, if she did it right now, it would seem like she was coveting his water.

"Brat. It looks like you have a lot of water. Why don\'t you give it to us?"

Meng Fei had already taken notice of Jiang Xiu. It seemed like Xie Ting knew him and from what he heard just now, it looked like he still had a lot of water left in his canteen.

"I don\'t have much left."

"Give it to me!" Sang Bao pointed the muzzle towards Jiang Xiu. The intent was pretty clear. He would shoot if Jiang Xiu didn\'t give it to him.

Jiang Xiu smiled an unscrewed the canteen.

His intent was clear too. If Sang Bao shot him, the water would all go to waste.

Xie Ting didn\'t know whether Jiang Xiu was really afraid of the guns as he had displayed shocking powers on that day, but… it was also a possibility. Thus, she spoke out, "Meng Fei, he\'s Jiangnan\'s, Mr. Jiang. You better not become his enemy."

Meng Fei\'s expression changed, "Mr. Jiang? Which Mr. Jiang?"

"Jiang Luoxia!"

Li Chengzhi, who was standing at a distance, immediately shouted, "What?! He is Jiang Luoxia?"
