Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 909 Crossing the Forest into the Desert

After seeing the man escape, Ba Tiancheng and Sha Yanyan gave up the pursuit to prevent another group from assassinating Chu Chen.

After witnessing the deaths of more than ten people who had been burned to death, they returned to the armored vehicle with lingering fear.

"Chu Chen, is this the thing you used to fight the Earth Demons?"

"That's right, I didn't expect it to come in handy here too!"

Sha Yanyan looked at the bullets scattered on the ground and asked, "Chu Chen, what are these things?"

"Hehe, this is called a will-o'-the-wisp. Once it's lit, it can only be extinguished after it's completely burned out. Otherwise, you can't put it out no matter what you do!"

Sha Yanyan gasped in astonishment upon hearing this, wondering what kind of genius could create something so amazing.

However, she did not press further, but instead addressed Chu Chen and the other two.

"Alright, this time it's just Niu Zi who's arrived, the weakest member of their Black Fiend Army. Who knows what dangers lie ahead? Let's leave quickly."

Chu Chen nodded in agreement after listening: "Okay, everyone get out of the car. I'll get the car out and then we'll continue on our way."

After saying that, the four of them got out of the car. Chu Chen put the car away, walked to the other side of the road, and then put it back on the road.

Then, with the three of them, he stepped on the gas and sped off down the small road.

The armored vehicle's powerful mobility allowed it to speed through the forest. Along the way, many large wild animals, such as tigers and lions, were eager to attack but lacked the strength to do so.

Ultimately, under Chen Qingxuan's barrage of countless white phosphorus bullets, they all ran far away, not daring to approach them even a fraction of an inch.

As a result, the burning of the white phosphorus bomb also caused a small wildfire.

Because the mountain is so big, even a small wildfire can be extinguished on its own without needing to be put out.

The four of them ran all the way and finally emerged from the forest three days later.

Chu Chen picked up the binoculars, stood on the roof of the car, and looked ahead.

Suddenly, a dilapidated-looking city appeared before his eyes.

"I never expected that there would be such a dilapidated city in such a high-level domain as the Heavenly Domain!"

Chu Chen put down the binoculars and spoke to Sha Yanyan beside him.

"Hehe, the main problem is that this stretch of yellow sand and the forest behind us block their way out, which is why the desert is so desolate."

Chu Chen nodded after listening, then continued to observe through the binoculars.

The so-called city in front of them was also a yellowish-brown color, with a yellow river flowing through it.

But it seems that there isn’t much farmland on either side of the river.

So they looked upstream along the river and, in the distance, discovered an oasis!

"That place is lush and green; it looks like the source of the Heavenly River. Why wasn't it built there when the city was constructed?"

Sha Yanyan looked in the direction of the oasis and shook her head: "That place was originally the old city, but now it has been controlled by several major forces, so ordinary people can only come to this place and build a new city. In fact, calling it a city is just a gathering place for them to stick together for warmth."

After listening, Chu Chen immediately understood why he had come here: to attack the city.

Lead the people of the desert to take over the oasis and rebuild a desert city.

However, persuading these people to attack the city is not easy.

Having been oppressed by those mountain bandits for so long, how could they immediately muster the courage to resist?

Chu Chen pondered quietly: "Yan Yan, do you still have people of your own in this city?"

"Yes, my grandfather gave me a way to make contact and a token that will allow me to find the men he left behind during his previous bandit suppression campaign."

"Grandpa, I've said these people are for you to manage Desert City. I hope you'll make good use of them!"

Chu Chen was immediately delighted upon hearing this, thinking to himself that while he wasn't allowed to use his own people, he had at least prepared some subordinates for himself, which wasn't bad at all.

These people must have lived in the desert city for many years and know every blade of grass and tree there like the back of their hand. With their help, things will be much simpler.

"Alright, in that case, let's go into the city!"

After saying that, Chu Chen led the three of them onto the armored vehicle and sped into the desert city.

In the desert city, there is a main street. Unlike other cities, the crowd dispersed instantly when Chu Chen and his group appeared outside the city.

So at this moment, the entire street was deserted, and not a single person could be seen.

Chu Chen and the three others stopped the car and walked to the center of the street. After looking around, they all frowned.

These people had probably been exploited too much by the bandits, which is why they were so frightened at the sight of the strange vehicle. It would be strange if they didn't run away!

Chu Chen walked towards a vegetable stall, looking at the wilted wild vegetables and the black cornbread next to them, and thought to himself how poor people must be to not be able to find anything good on the street.

Before they could even marvel, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar.

A short while later, a group of people dressed in black armor surrounded the four of them.

Seeing that something was wrong, Chu Chen immediately pulled them into the armored vehicle.

"Yan Yan, who are these people?"

"Chu Chen, they are the Black Fiend Army. I reckon Niu Zi's speed isn't as fast as ours. They don't know this yet, so they've come looking for trouble!"

Chu Chen grinned after hearing this, then turned and shouted at Chen Qingxuan, "Drunkard, get the machine guns ready!"

"Alright, today I'll beat them so badly they'll be begging for mercy!"

With a click, Chen Qingxuan cocked the machine gun and set it up against the group!

Just then, a huge man stepped out of the caravan. Ba Tiancheng immediately recognized him as a master at the late stage of the Dao God Realm.

Then he turned to Chu Chen and said, "He's in the late stage of the Dao God Realm, probably the captain of this team!"

Just as Ba Tiancheng finished speaking, the voice of the leading man came from outside: "May I ask if the one inside is our newly arrived city lord of the Great Desert City? Our general heard that the city lord was coming and had already arranged wine and dishes to welcome you. We hope that the city lord will do us the honor of joining us."

Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this, thinking to himself, "When we were outside the city, they sent people to assassinate me, and now that we're inside, they're sending people to win me over."

Was it a trap?

So he immediately said, "Thank you for your general's kindness, but I'm tired from the journey today, so I won't go. However, I've heard that there's a guy named Niu Zi in your Black Fiend Army. Are you familiar with him?"

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, the leading man frowned, wondering if he had killed the thirteenth leader.
