While wandering around the forum, I suddenly learned that the author Zhedao Sanchi died. I couldn't help but feel a little sad. I remember that I had been following the "The Best-level Soldier" he wrote back then. The writing style is particularly amazing. Unfortunately, this person has passed away... In order to avoid readers thinking that the author has passed away, I was so scared that I quickly updated it.

Yellow sand is everywhere, and the heat waves are rolling.

The vast desert that can't be seen at the end is full of desolation and silence. The scorching sunlight bakes on the earth to reflect hazy twisted light and shadows. Time has passed. The alternation of day and night is blurred in memory. The numb spirit makes the body like an empty shell, soaring with the flying eagle in the sky like a walking corpse.

Where are the villages and towns in the remnants?

The confusion in his heart kept tormenting Xia Lan's nerves, and sometimes even made him doubt whether there were Salanian remnants in this world.

Since leaving the oasis, they have been flying in the air for at least a week. Although the Salanian Desert is vast, it can continue to fly without any gains. Sooner or later, they will fly away from the desert. Once they lose this excellent cover, you can imagine the danger they are facing.

Not to mention the layers of encirclement of the Radiant Church, the only thing that Daniochen around him is enough to pose a huge threat to him. If it were not forcing the situation, he would never have agreed to join the team.

"Xialan Xialan! Look! Oasis! Villages and towns!!"

At this time, Adrina, who was holding Xia Lan's waist tightly, suddenly screamed. In his state of loss, his head cleared and his eyes instantly turned to the surface of the desert.

In the distance, a shimmering blue lake can be seen in the field of view. The layers of green forests elliptically surround a village composed of a large number of loess houses. The scattered layout shows a different desert style.

It's not wrong! This must be the village and town of Sarania that he has been looking for for a long time!

With a hint of excitement in his heart, Xia Lan drove the flying eagle and swooped down without saying a word. Danionchen, who was always paying attention to his movements, followed immediately, and a faint surprise appeared in his cold eyes, because he never thought that there would be an unprecedented village in the deepest part of the Salanian Desert.

Woo--

However, before Xia Lan and the others landed, a long and powerful horn sounded echoing in the sky. Countless black dots emerged from the houses below the village and towns and gathered together in a hurry. After a while, an orderly formation was formed, as if the army was waiting for the battlefield.

"It seems that some people don't welcome us."

Feijiu shone with his wings and landed on the wide road on the yellow stone slabs in the village. The rolling yellow sand flew everywhere, Xia Lan turned over and landed on the ground, looking at the dark tide slowly surrounding them with a slightly solemn face in front of her.

The so-called black tide is actually a team of men, women, young and old wearing black robes. Each of them has a strong sense of alertness and murderous spirit on their faces, holding various instruments in their hands. Among them, simple weapons such as hoes, kitchen knives, sticks and other simple weapons account for the majority. Only a few people hold scimitars and long swords. This scene alone can easily see the other party's attitude.

Dannyson walked behind Adelina silently, glanced at the opposite side and was no longer interested. All he cared about was Adelina's safety. The ants on the opposite side were not worth mentioning at all. Perhaps the only thing that could interest him was the origin of this village.

"External people! You are not welcome here!"

At this time, a burly middle-aged man walked out of the crowd opposite, with a dark face full of determination. He opened his mouth and shouted a series of whispers. Even Adrina and the other two, who did not understand the language of Salanian residents, could roughly understand the meaning of expulsion expressed by the other party.

"Are you the elder here?"

When Xia Lan responded with the same language as the dark man, Adrina and the other two immediately cast incredible eyes at him.

"You know our language!?"

It was not only Adelina and the others who were shocked, but also dark men.

"Although Salania has long been submerged in the long river of history, part of the Salanian civilization has been permanently recorded in historical documents, so it is not difficult for me to be able to understand your language." Xia Lan replied calmly.

"Do you know where we are?!" The dark man subconsciously clasped the hilt of the knife.

"Of course, otherwise why would I appear here?" Xia Lan said lightly. "And please rest assured that I have no malice towards you, nor any evil intentions."

"External, then what is your purpose for coming here?" said the dark man in a deep voice.

"I need to go to your holy land." Xia Lan said. "But I am missing a guide."

"Holy Land?!" The dark man's face changed. "Impossible! We will never tell you where these outsiders are!"

"What if I have a way to open your holy land?" Xia Lan smiled.

"you……"

The dark man looked at Xia Lan in disbelief, as if he had heard something extremely shocking.

"External! Who are you?"

"A adventurer, of course, sometimes I also work as a part-time scholar." Xia Lan said.

"This matter is of great importance, please forgive me for not being able to make a decision! I will only reply to you after I report it to the elder." The dark man's face was gloomy for a long time.

"Yes! But my time is very precious, I need to know how long you can answer me." Xia Lan said.

"At least three days." said the dark man.

"I'm sorry, I can't wait for so long!" Xia Lan shook her head, then stretched out a finger and said, "One day, this is the maximum deadline I'll give you."

"Impossible! It will take one day to go back and forth from here to the Great Elder!" said the dark man decisively.

"Haha! I know that you have special contact information in the Salanian world. I'm afraid you will be able to pass the news here to the Great Elder within a short time." Xia Lan said with a smile.

"It seems you know very well about us." The dark man said with a deep face.

"If you want to gain the trust of others, you must take out some weights that the other party deserves to pay attention to." Xia Lan said with a smile.

"External people! I allow you to stay here for a short time. If I were to know that you had hurt our compatriots, I would never let you go!" said the dark man.

"You can rest assured that this is the case. As long as no one is the first to provoke us, we will not violate the rules here." Xia Lan nodded.

...

...

"Xia Lan, what were you talking about just now? And why did you understand their language? What are the origins of the villagers here?"

In a simple house vacated by villagers, Adrina, who had just settled down, could no longer suppress her curiosity in her heart and asked Xia Lan impatiently.

"Where is under our feet?" Xia Lan casually observed the structural arrangement in the earthen house and thought casually.

"Salania Desert!" Adelina was confused.

"Then why is the Salanian Desert called the Salanian Desert?" Xia Lan said.

"Because...oh! I understand!" Adrina was about to answer, but a flash of inspiration flashed in her head, as if she had understood the question Xia Lan asked, and then she was stunned and stuttered: "Are you saying... the villages and towns here are all vanishing Salanians?"

"The answer is correct." Xia Lan snapped her fingers and smiled and nodded at her.

"Just... but... Salania was buried in the desert as early as the distant era of hegemony. It has been tens of thousands of years since then. How did the Salanians survive until now?!" Even though he confirmed his guess from Xia Lan, Adelina still felt unbelievable.

"As long as the fire of civilization is not extinguished, civilization can continue." Xia Lan picked up a crude pottery placed in the room and said: "It's a pity that the once glorious civilization of Salania can't resist the ruthless waste of time and goes to a serious regression, and isn't the same in Elderland's history."

"I'm very puzzled about one thing. Why have many eras since the hegemony never heard of the Salanians? Have they been staying in the depths of this desert?" Sitting on a wooden chair, drinking water to quench your thirst, Winnie put down her kettle, as if she had recovered a little energy.

"In fact, the news about the Salanians was recorded in a few historical documents of the Silver Age. At that time, the Salanians often dealt with adventurers who came to hunt for gold. After the natural disaster era, the Salanians were completely cut off from the outside world, and the historical documents about the Salanians disappeared in that chaotic era. Therefore, it is normal for people today to not know the existence of the Salanians." Xialan patiently explained. "As for why the Salanians refused to leave this desert, because they had been guarding the Salanians' holy land, waiting for the day when the holy land was opened."

"Holy Land? What is that?" Adelina asked.

"Perrans, the former capital of Salanya, is said that on the eve of the destruction of Salanya, the Salanian royal family buried countless treasures and knowledge inheritances into a mysterious place in Salanya, waiting for the future one day of Salanya descendants to dig out this wealth knowledge and restart Salanya's glory!" Xia Lan said lightly: "It's a pity that all those who know the location of the treasure of the holy land and the method of opening it have died. In recent years, Salanians stayed in the desert to protect and find this treasure."

"Do you know the location and opening method of Salania's treasure?" Daniochen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Of course, otherwise do you think I came here just to avoid the pursuit of the Guanghui Temple?" Xia Lan glanced at him and said.

"You want to use the treasure in exchange for the help of the Salanians to deal with the Holy Temple of Glory?" said Denioshen.

"Although the civilization of the Salanians has undergone a serious regression, the cultivation and inheritance have been completely passed down. Even if the elders who ruled the Salanians are not strong, they are strong people who have entered the realm of law," Xia Lan said.

"Your approach will bring destruction to the Salanians." Danionchen said indifferently.

"It's just an equivalent exchange." Xia Lan said indifferently.

"I have one last question." Daniochen stared at Xia Lan and said, "Why do you know this?"
