Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 215 People in the Desert

Xu Yan was surprised that Xie Yuwei didn't know about the Marquis's whereabouts. He said to Xie Yuwei, "The Marquis left Tiansheng City a month ago."

"After he learned that you were going to participate in the ranking tournament, he returned to Tiansheng City in advance to make arrangements."

“You are a Celestial Maiden Card Maker, and all the forces in Lingdu want to get in touch with you. For your safety and freedom, Lord Marquis, please go back ahead of time to clear all obstacles.”

Xie Yuwei was speechless for a moment; she hadn't expected Uncle Huang to do so much for her.

There was no need to express her gratitude to Xu Yan and the others. Instead, she inquired about the advanced seal: "You've all left Tiansheng City. What happened to the advanced seal I gave to the Card Hall? Have you made copies of the cards?"

Xu Yan looked at Xie Yuwei and smiled, "The Marquis has ordered that the high-grade seal be taken to Lingdu for research."

Xie Yuwei asked in surprise, "So, the high-level seal is in your hands? It's no longer in Tiansheng City?"

Xu Yan and Qiu Xing nodded.

Hu Yong and Lu Rongtao looked on with envy; after the high-grade seal was sent to Lingdu, they had no chance to study it.

Lu Rongtao asked Xie Yuwei, "Little Wei'er, how long will you be staying in Lingdu this time?"

He hasn't had time to study the many new cards she crafted yet. He can come to Tiansheng City to study and research them when she returns.

Hu Yong also looked at Xie Yuwei expectantly.

Xie Yuwei apologized to them, saying, "I haven't been to Lingdu before and don't know anything about it, so I can't confirm how long I'll stay there."

Lu Rongtao and Hu Yong looked regretful.

With Xu Yan and the other three people now on Kunpeng's back, the students of Fengyun Academy became more reserved.

Normally they rarely see a saint, but now they are able to travel with nine saints.

Feng Qing was familiar with Xu Yan and the others. After they gathered together, he even took out a table and chairs from the Bainaka and planned to enjoy tea on the Kunpeng's back.

Seeing that they were enjoying themselves, Xie Yuwei took her younger siblings to admire the scenery in the desert.

Soon after, they saw a group of people lying in the desert in a sorry state.

“There’s someone there!” Xie Yufei said, pointing to the person lying on the ground below.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing controlled Kunpeng to make a sudden flash, and Kunpeng floated above those people.

Xie Yuwei led Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei down from the Kunpeng.

The students of Fengyun Academy had never left the Southern Wilderness before, so this situation was also a good opportunity for them to gain experience. Feng Qing brought the students of Fengyun Academy down with him.

A group of teenagers descended from the Kunpeng and stood on the desert. The intense heat of the desert made them very uncomfortable, and the dry air around them also made them feel very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with these people?" a student asked.

At this moment, Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei had already begun to check the condition of the people on the ground.

When Xie Yuchen was in Tiansheng City, he was already a second-tier silver-rank mercenary. He had some common sense about the situation in the wild. Even though he had never encountered this situation himself, he had heard mercenaries mention it.

"They were dehydrated and passed out in the desert," Xie Yuchen said, taking water out of the container and giving it to the people.

Upon hearing this, the students of Fengyun Academy spontaneously offered water to these people.

The group that had fainted consisted of more than twenty people, along with more than forty students from Fengyun Academy. They quickly checked on the people on the ground.

"Dean, this one over here isn't breathing."

"We're out of these too."

"I'm not breathing either."

Judging from their condition, these people had been dead for some time. Xie Yuwei used her divine sense to examine everyone's condition and found some who could be saved, so she channeled some spiritual energy into them.

Huang Deming, Zhou Zhiyuan, Zhong Hongyuan, Yan Hongxue, and several Saint-level card makers did not come down from the Kunpeng.

They could tell what was going on just by looking at these people.

So many people from Fengyun Academy went down; those who could be saved will survive, and those who couldn't, there's nothing they can do.

Therefore, they all waited on the back of the Kunpeng.

After saving those who were on the verge of death, Xie Yuwei left the rest to her younger siblings and the students of Fengyun Academy.

Xie Yufei was treating a woman. After giving her water, she noticed that the woman was still unconscious. The woman's face was red and peeling from the sun, and her lips were chapped. So Xie Yufei poured water on her face.

Many students from Fengyun Academy, like Xie Yufei, took out water from Bainaka and splashed it on their faces.

The cool water splashed on their faces, and they gradually woke up.

They were shocked to see the students of Fengyun Academy splashing water on their faces.

"Water is precious in the desert, my benefactors, please don't use clean water to wash my face."

A middle-aged man who had been revived spoke to everyone.

As people were gradually revived, they saw the students wasting water so much that everyone's face showed expressions of heartache and regret.

Xie Yuwei observed them discreetly, then asked curiously, "How did you end up in the desert? With your strength, you shouldn't be able to cross this desert, right?"

Knowing that it's impossible to cross the desert, why go into it anyway?

Moreover, they lacked sufficient resources.

The middle-aged man who was revived saw that the students of Fengyun Academy were young, but most of them had already reached the level of advanced Card Spirit Masters, so he knew that they were extraordinary.

He said dejectedly to Xie Yuwei, "We don't want to go into the desert either, but Guangling City is about to be captured by monsters, and we can't enter the city. We can only flee towards Tiansheng City."

“Yes! A few months ago, we heard that Tiansheng City had withstood the attack of the monsters. Now that Tiansheng City is safe, we can’t enter Guangling City. In order to survive, we can only flee towards Tiansheng City,” another person said sadly.

Jie Yuwei was quite surprised: "Warcraft siege?"

Feng Qing and the people on Kunpeng's back heard their words.

Yan Hongxue pondered and said, "It's probably the beast tide that comes once every three years. I didn't expect the timing of the beast tide to have changed again. Even Guangling City couldn't be defended, so the beast tide must be extremely fierce."

"Dean!" Xie Yuchen called out.

What should be done with these people?

Their strongest members only possessed the cultivation level of a high-level Card Spirit Master. Even if they were given sufficient resources, their strength would not be enough to cross this desert.

Crossing the desert not only involves enduring the scorching sun and the risk of sandstorms, but the most dangerous thing is encountering desert monsters.

There's no need to estimate; everyone knows they can't survive in the desert.

Forced into social situations, Feng Qing asked the middle-aged man at the head of the group, "Are you from Guangling City?"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group said, "We are from Shiqu Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Guangling City. Our village has been destroyed, and only we are left."

The group of students fell silent after hearing this.

Having survived a life-or-death battle against a horde of beasts, they knew all too well the devastation that could lead to the village's destruction.

Feng Qing said to them, "With your strength, you cannot cross this desert. If you continue, you will only die in the desert."
