(Two in one) Lu Liran raised his eyebrows: “You’re an Omega, be more reserved.”
…
Xian Dan looked at Lu Liran, his face pale with memories: “The death of those two team members was like a signal to start.”
“We’ve been without water for almost a day, we’ve hiked for almost four hours during the day, and most people have symptoms of dehydration and stroke. There are also people with blurred vision, or even blindness, as if something invisible was cursing the team…” Xian Dan said in a low voice.
[…I probably understand why they’re blind]
[Understand +1]
[Brother Lu has more examples of live negative teaching materials]
[I used to think that the anchor was exaggerating the consequences and influences, but I didn’t expect it to be true…]
[The anchor’s little tricks may look ugly, but they work! The state of the anchor is much better than that team]
[Didn’t you say there were dozens of camels? Even if half of them were lost, there are more than a dozen of them. Why do I only see so few?]
“The team members fell one by one, and the fallen team members were carried by camel horses and continued to move forward.”
Xian Dan suddenly raised his head and asked Lu Liran: “Have you ever seen beautiful, regular and symmetrical long and thin lines suddenly appear under the sand?”
Lu Liran paused, then came to his senses, and then asked back: “Is it the one-horned viper?”
Xian Dan nodded, with surprised in his tone: “Sounds like the thing. Have you seen it?”
It was unknown what Lu Liran had thought of, but his face changed slightly.
Those unpredictable scale prints, who knew where they will appear the next second. The shallow sand surface quickly moved, and the sand raised lightly, like an early warning before the appearance of the devil. No one knows who will be the next unlucky one, who will be rolled up by something hidden under the sand and washed up into the air.
There was a time when these fine lines printed on the sand surface were frequent visitors in Lu Liran’s nightmares at night.
“I don’t know what it’s called, but it looks like a snake, but it’s thicker and longer than ordinary snakes. It’s about the thickness of two arms. It’s covered with withered yellow scales. The snake’s head is surrounded by a round bump, but a long bone spur would suddenly sprang out.” Xain Dan said.
“Strictly speaking, it is a python. Pythons are generally bigger and longer, and have a longer lifespan. As long as they are alive, they will continue to grow.” Lu Liran said in a deep voice.
[I searched on the star network, this team is too unlucky, the one-horned viper looks like this [Share picture]]
[Fuck, ah. This mouth is too good!! Are there hundreds of them?? It’s too cruel!?]
[I’m numb, I’m afraid to the point of retreating]

Xian Dan lowered his voice, his face was pale, and the palm hanging by his side even trembled slightly.

“Then, the bulging cyst on the top of its head burst open suddenly, and a long, sharp bone spur came out of it, piercing through the man’s chest in an instant.”
“All of this happened in less than a few seconds. The python didn’t even come out of the desert completely. We didn’t even see its whole body.”
“It threw the man’s body out, it attacked us, but it didn’t eat us, and it fell back into the desert in a blink of an eye.”
Lu Liran pursed his lower lip. The one-horned viper python didn’t eat them because Xian Dan’s team was not the python’s prey at all, but just uninvited guests who broke into its territory.
The habits of wild beasts are nothing more than this. Creatures that break into the territory can only die.
Xian Dan clenched his fists and trembled slightly: “It jumped around and attacked, completely disrupting our formation, and we had no choice but to run around in a panic.”
“But what we didn’t expect was that after finally getting out of the python’s attack range, we plunged into a more terrifying place.”
Lu Liran subconsciously looked at the map route Xian Dan had drawn on the sand earlier, which happened to overlap with the road he had walked just now.
“You encountered a quicksand belt?” Ke Ji asked, although it was a question, but he used a declarative tone, he was very certain.
Xian Dan nodded and looked at Ke Ji in surprise: “You guys also encountered it?”
Lu Liran nodded and responded: “We found it in time.”
Xian Dan said with a wry smile: “We didn’t find out.”
“The camel horses who were walking in front refused to move forward at first. We just thought it was because of the heat of the sun and the sand was too hot, so the animals refused to go any further, but we didn’t think about the threat of the quicksand.”
“We drove the camel horses and continued to move forward. After the first few camel horses carrying the wounded walked in, the camel horses behind followed obediently.”
“After walking a little distance, the people on the camel horse suddenly realized that something was wrong. They were sinking a little bit. The speed of the sinking was not fast, but it actually submerged the camel horses’ leg joints and thighs little by little…”
“It took less than five minutes for a camel horse with a height of four or five meters to be submerged until there was only a hump left. When the remaining camels and people saw it, they hurriedly wanted to back away, but the more they tried to pull out their feet, the tighter their feet were wrapped in sand, as if there was a hand underneath, dragging the people down.”
“The people who survived were all carried on the back of the camel horses. They ran back by stepping on the camel horses, and the twenty or so camel horses were swallowed up by the quicksand belt, and not even a trace was left. ”
Xian Dan took a deep breath. When he met the one-horned viper python, he was physically and mentally frightened and terrified. But when they encountered the quicksand, it was too late to even have thought of struggling, no one can get out of it.
The python took away the three of them, but the quicksand belt swallowed up half of their team.
The cunning and terror of the quicksand belt was that when they walked on the edge, they don’t feel that it was a quicksand area at all. It was not until they walked to the center that its power became obvious, but at that time, any struggle was futile.
“Later, that’s what you saw. We found this place, stopped and rested for a while, and didn’t know how to continue traveling.” Xian Dan said.
If it wasn’t for that guide, they wouldn’t be in such a dilemma at all.
The closer they get to the hinterland of the desert, the more chaotic the airflow becomes. It brings great difficulty to the search and rescue work of the search and rescue ship, so before departure, the merchant fleet has made a plan not to enter the hinterland for the time being if it was assessed as a threat. Safety was their first indicator.
But now they have broken into the desert area close to the hinterland when their equipment and condition are the most embarrassing, and they were not even prepared.
“There are two routes you can take.” Lu Liran opened his mouth, he glanced at the situation of several members of the merchant fleet, and changed the topic, “But in the view of the situation in your team, I suggest you go this way.”
Lu Liran circled a route, this was close to the place where he walked out of the desert last time, and there was a small overlap between the route and the road he was about to take now.
Without saying a word, Xian Dan nodded happily.
Before meeting Lu Liran, he couldn’t understand why Xian Yu would regard the other party’s words as the first principle of action.
But when he bumped into Lu Liran in the desert when he was most desperate, he could fully understand Xian Yu after just a few face-to-face encounters.
After personally experiencing the horror of Salba, a man can cross the desert with only a dagger, a canteen, and a backpack. The unscathed young hunter appeared in front of his eyes. Just seeing such an image with his own eyes was more convincing than the extravagant praise.
Xian Dan had to agree with Xian Yu’s evaluation of Lu Liran——
Lu Liran has a convincing sense of security. Every word and every movement of his is extremely firm, like a shot in the arm, calming down his already frightened heart.
Lu Liran pointed to the route and said: “We’re expected to walk for about two days, bypassing the center of the hinterland, passing by the edge, and then all the way south. You can clearly feel the changes in altitude and terrain. The lower the altitude, the greater the chance of surface water. ”
“For those of you with low judgment ability, it should be a good and obvious sign.” Lu Liran glanced at Xian Dan, “If you find that the altitude has not decreased significantly while walking, it means that your direction has deviated again, and you can adjust it yourself.”
Xian Dan choked, although it was true, but very few people would say this unceremoniously in front of him.
He scratched his head embarrassingly, and replied: “Okay, thank you, Mr. Lu. I will pay attention.”
He thanked Lu Liran repeatedly, he thought for a while, and pulled out a jade pendant from his neck, and stuffed it to Lu Liran: “Regardless of whether the merchant fleet and I can successfully get out of Salba in the future, we have all been helped by Mr. Lu. In the future, Mr. Lu can use this jade pendant to find my brother, and he will know how to thank you.”
Lu Liran paused, but remembered that Xian Yu just rewarded the live broadcast room, and thought that the other party had already given it.
“This section, we are going together.” Lu Liran glanced at him, “You can go with me.”
Xian Dan’s eyes lit up suddenly: “Really?! That’s great!”
“When is Mr. Lu going to leave? We will follow your time.” Xian Dan said immediately.
Lu Liran glanced at the sun and said: “An hour later.”
Xian Dan nodded: “Okay, then I will inform the team to take a rest at the same place.”
He immediately turned around and walked quickly to his team: “Let’s rest at the same place for another hour. After an hour, Mr. Lu will set off with us. After going through the most dangerous journey, we will separate.”
As soon as the merchant fleet heard that they could rest for a while, they immediately cheered, they left their equipment and went under the shade of the trees.
Some people leaned over to the edge of the dug puddle and drank two sips of water.
“I see that the boss seems very happy. Is it because of those who want to come with us?”
There is always no shortage of curious people in the team, although the discussion is small, it attracts many people to join.
“Definitely ah, the boss was worried before, and he almost engraved the word “happiness” engraved on his forehead.”
“This guy must be very powerful, right? Look at him, he dared to enter Salba without any equipment. He even found water from under a tree.”
“Great, having him travel with us, after all, is much better than traveling blind before!”
“What do you think happened to our guide? Could it be…”
“I don’t know, that guide is actually pretty good, at least we didn’t encounter such unlucky things when he led the way.”
“Shhh, last time I happened to hear the boss tell our team captain to be careful of the guide, there must be something wrong with that guide.”
“That’s it…but I see that when the guide was there, at least we didn’t lose that many people…”
Xian Dan passed by those people, he glanced at them, and the voice of the discussion immediately softened.
Lu Liran leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to rest his mind. After a while, he suddenly said: “Why do you keep staring at me?”
After he finished speaking, he opened his eyes, and his eyes precisely caught Ke Ji’s sight that he couldn’t move away in time.
Lu Liran raised his eyebrows: “You’re an Omega, be more reserved.”
Ke Ji choked.
Xian Dan, who was trying to worm his way into being friends with Lu Liran: “……”
He really hasn’t seen an Alpha who doesn’t cherish O more than Mr. Lu.
Sunnyshies: Hahaha, I clicked the wrong title yesterday. Actually, it wasn’t the first time, I made a mistake about the title several times before, I just found out about it earlier before it was announced in the discord. There were two novels in CG that started with “I rely on”, this novel has a long title so, I usually just typed those three words, and the novel would appear auto in the Tittle Book Box. Hahaha, I surprised a few readers, sorry about that. ( ´ ω ` )ノﾞ
Hhhh thanks for the update!! You worked hard translator sama!!!❤️❤️
Ke Ji just thinks that you’re pretty nest and is probably catching on about your identity~~~ just let him stare, the longer he stares the faster the both of you will achieve happiness ( ≧∀≦)ノ
Man Lu Liran is so handsome and I want to see him eat more disgusting food and hear the livestream comments. I feel that this novel has better and more intelligent netizens, like usually in other novels, their IQ are in the negatives and netizens are ready to bash anyone or anything, especially sunspots and black fans.
Thanks for the chapter~~~
lets be honest, if their IQ is negative… then how much is mine…?(I’m afraid I’m long gone down the line of -10,000 IQ someone help I still need to study for my tests QAQ)
Oh nooo, you’re fine. Education is different from critical thinking. The netizens don’t seem to see the full picture and they like to make judgement based on 1 source and takes it as like the truth. Which infuriates me like how’d they survive in society or in any scenarios if they jump to conclusions.
Oh you’ll do fine for your tests. Idk about your standards but time and pressure is a good motivation I’d say.
Thx for your support I do hope I can pass this test, and really I don’t think those netizens would be able to survive in real society but lets be honest its the novel world and also they indeed rely a lot on technology like their light brains and I have no hope for our planets future that we will end up not relying on technology either but its just a fact that they rely too much on technology, etc. putting all their valuable stuffs into their terminals (its the thing that stores stuff right?) like food and water, they rely on some sort of technology to set up their camps, etc.
Aiya Lu-Ge your alpha want of stare, just let him burn his gaze into your soul 🤭
Nope for a desert trip.
Poor ke Ji HAHAHAHHAHA
I started reading this yesterday and couldn’t stop lol. I’ve never read a Webnovel like this before. Thank you for translating it 🙇🏽♀️
I still have yet to catch up on the most recent chapters but im wondering something (the answer, if I receive one, will be a spoiler) :
Does anybody knows what number is the realization chapter?
And who realize first?
I dont need circumstances, I’m just impatient and curious. The answer will not stop me from reading it happily tho, so I’d love to know!
Yup. Babysitting, desert locale. Wonder if he’ll share any foodie finds with the new kids? Lmao! Ty for the update 🤣❤️🐍🦂👀❤️🤣
».. he almost engraved the word “happiness” engraved on my forehead.« happiness on his forhead / had the word.. on his (smth like that)
He got at least one more die hard fan xDD
Thx for the ch ٩( >ヮ<)۶
thanks!
One question that I always have at that point: If you run around with an animal at your side and that said animal starts to behave strange/different from normal and e.g. doesn’t want to walk in a certain direction, why won’t you listen to it? We humans with our dead instincts are no match to them lol
Poor camel horses: they don’t want die, but had not choice(
Fr :c
Aww, Ke Ji just being a simp XD
