I love time travel the most!

When he saw two figures in cloaks ahead, he couldn't help but curse, "Are those two idiots?! This is the desert! The world's largest desert! Even riding camels with an experienced guide, there's a good chance of getting lost. And those two guys just walked through the desert without any preparation. Don't they want to live?!"

"What if the camel is lost?"

"Impossible! Experienced guys would prepare in advance in case the camels get lost, but they have nothing on them, they're obviously novices! They're doomed, I'm telling you!"

"Is it really……"

Freya murmured softly, her eyes catching something interesting, and an idea forming in her mind.

"Maybe they're the one I'm looking for?"

"what did you say?"

"Boffman, bring the boat closer."

"Lady Freya?!"

Boffman's mouth dropped open in surprise. He wanted to refuse, but the goddess's imposing gaze made his heart skip a beat; he had a feeling that refusing would lead to something bad. A businessman's intuition was on his side.

With no other option, he gritted his teeth and ordered the crew to change course and head towards the two figures.

The boat was moving very fast.

It didn't take long for it to overtake the two men, and then it stopped. The stopped boat kicked up a cloud of sand, which enveloped the vessel.

Boffman ordered his men to lower the rope ladder. He didn't rush down to greet them; lowering the ladder was already his biggest concession. In his view, these two rookies were only able to board his ship because of the grace of Aphrodite.

The two men below looked at the boat but hesitated to come aboard. Just as Boffman was about to call them, "whoosh!" two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Wow!"

Boffman cried out in surprise and sat down hard on the wooden board, wincing in pain.

At that moment, the leader of the group removed his cloak.

He is a handsome young man.

He bowed gracefully and said, "Thank you for helping me when I was lost. Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiaolin, and I am a traveler."

Chapter 193 It doesn’t matter, I will take action

Sandy soil, yellow sandy soil everywhere.

The vast desert, a desolate sea of ​​sand.

The wind swept across the sand, leaving shimmering ripples; two people walked across the desert, leaving deep footprints; the sun overhead was scorching and fierce, its heat distorting even the air.

Cloak, food, water, salt—Kobayashi made ample preparations as soon as he learned he was in the desert.

But the desert was too vast, and it was impossible to cross it on foot. In addition, the supplies had been used up several hours earlier.

Should we go back and prepare some more supplies?

But going back and forth also requires a lot of divine power.

Just as Kobayashi was struggling with his decision, Ryuu suddenly stopped. She turned her head to look back and said to the figure walking slowly ahead, "Lord Kobayashi, my superhuman eyesight, which allows me to see tens of thousands of meters, tells me that a ship is approaching from behind."

“I can see you, Liu Zi.”

Kobayashi replied, but didn't stop walking.

"Oh my? I didn't expect that you could see the scenery behind you without even turning your head. But when I think about how you confidently patted your chest 7 or 8 hours ago that there was a town to the east, I can't help but chuckle to myself."

"You're already laughing at me... By the way, are you complaining that I led you the wrong way, Miss Ryuu?"

"It seems your brain hasn't been dried out by the scorching sun and still retains a sliver of clarity. That's great. If you had collapsed here, I would have had to dig a hole and bury you."

"........."

If he hadn't known that the puppet servant behind him was supposed to be sarcastic, he would have really thought the other person was going to bury him in the ground to vent his anger.

Ryuko asked again, "Lord Kobayashi, shall we try waving?"

"……forget it."

Xiaolin shook her head and refused.

This is a desolate desert, and the idea of ​​a boat sailing across it seems bizarre. It would be funny if the person driving it wasn't human.

When you don't have absolute strength, you must always be cautious, especially in a place like the desert.

Moreover, the presence of ships signifies the existence of civilization, people, or intelligent races capable of communication. Therefore, even if it's a journey, he will cross it once he sees hope.

Ryuu didn't say anything more. As Kobayashi's servant, she naturally took her master's will as the highest order and obeyed unconditionally.

The two continued to move forward slowly.

Unexpectedly, the medium-sized vessel stopped after passing them and then threw down a rope ladder. It was as if to say, "Let them come aboard."

"Lord Kobayashi, they are extending an invitation."

"……I know."

A pattern appeared on Kobayashi's forehead, indicating that [Five Visions Omnipotence] had been activated, allowing him to grasp the entirety of the ship in an instant with his far-sightedness.

There were about fifty people on the boat.

There were thirty people at the bottom of the boat and twenty people on the boat.

Judging from their clothing and the various grades of cargo on board, they are most likely merchant ships transporting goods to and from this desert.

Since it's a merchant ship, that makes things easier.

But then, he suddenly saw a woman.

No, to be precise, she's a goddess.

She wore a white short-sleeved top, a red hood and waistband to shield herself from the sun, and a black tulle skirt that covered her slender figure, fastened with round buttons in several places.

The clothing was rather inappropriate for the desert, where the sun shines brightly, but the sexy outfit immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Including Kobayashi below the boat.

The people on the ship subtly revered her, surrounding her like stars around the moon, which indirectly indicated her noble status.

His expression was slightly stiff.

The two looked up from below, hesitant to move forward.

"Aren't you going up?" Liu Zi asked.

Ignoring the sweat on her forehead, Kobayashi licked her dry lips and said in a hoarse voice, "What would you do if I told you that there are people up there whom I absolutely do not want to see?"

"Then, ignore it?"

"...No, let's go up. No one can refuse that goddess's invitation, not even a god."

After saying that, as if by prior agreement, the two suddenly vanished, disappearing with a burst of speed. When they reappeared, they were already on the ship.

"Wow!"

A huge figure, a bit timid, was so frightened that he fell to the ground on the deck.

Kobayashi removed her cloak, revealing her face, and said to him, "Thank you for helping me when I was lost. Let me introduce myself, my name is Kobayashi, and I am a traveler."

Then, while bowing, he reached out his hand, but the dark-skinned man who had fallen onto the deck did not use his hand to stand up.

Instead, she cried out in surprise and loudly denied it, "Travelers?! Impossible! How could experienced travelers recklessly rush into the desert, especially two rookies without a guide?! Lady Freya, they are definitely suspicious!"

For some reason, the moment he saw Kobayashi, Boffman felt a strong sense of crisis.

Although the man in front of him looked rather disheveled from traveling through the desert, his handsome face and tall figure were undoubtedly extremely attractive to him.

Although Boffman was also handsome (in his own opinion), he paled in comparison to the other two.

“I apologize, it seems this ship owner has misunderstood.” Kobayashi straightened up, placed his hand slightly above his chest, and said confidently and elegantly, “Travelers are all experienced people, that’s undeniable. But travelers also start as novices, and so do I. I’ve set foot in towns, countries, and other worlds.”

He was subtly explaining, without offending Boffman, that he was no novice and had traveled extensively. Even this desert couldn't stop him.

"But, but..."

"If the ship owner still doesn't believe it, he might as well ask the goddess. After all, the people of the mortal realm cannot lie to the gods, can they?"

When Boffman heard Kobayashi say that, he immediately turned to the goddess beside him, wanting to get an answer from her.

"Lady Freya."

“What he said is true, Boffman.”

The goddess gave her her approval.

Upon hearing this, Boffman immediately slumped down. The man who used to compete with the goddess had lost her favor, and his dejected appearance was exactly like his own.

However, Freya didn't have time to care about him, or rather, she didn't care about Boffman's thoughts.

What she was focused on was Kobayashi's last sentence.

—Having set foot in other worlds.

It seemed the boy before her held a secret. Freya watched Kobayashi with interest. But before she could say anything, a strange sound, audible only to the goddess, reached her ears.

With an extremely natural movement, the goddess gently brushed the hair behind her ear, closed her eyes, and reminded everyone, "There seems to be a sound."

"……what?"

"It's an unpopular voice."

Before Boffman could even register what was happening, a strange noise, audible only to the goddess, was approaching.

That couldn't be the sound of sandstorms or birdsong from the sandy sea, since there are no large waves or eddies here.

Since this sound came from a desert that was quieter than a calm ocean, free from sandstorms, it must be the work of a monster.

"Guwaa ...

A low, strange voice came from inside.

Following the sound, Kobayashi also 'saw' it.

Its surface, the same color as the yellow sand beneath the desert, and its enormous body, writhing in a way that evokes a sense of physiological repulsion. It has no part that could be called a face; its head consists only of a round, gigantic mouth and ugly, sharp teeth.

Suddenly, the ship sprayed out a large amount of sand and dust from its side like a landmine, and then emerged from the ground.

"That's a desert worm! How can it be so big!"

Boffman screamed. Then he suddenly turned around, his panicked face filled with hostility.
