Chapter 1827: Attacked in the Desert (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Tang Wulin shook his head and then asked the man at the driver's seat, "Um, Brother, could you tell us about the military district we're about to visit?"

Indeed, they had no knowledge about the military district they were soon to visit, and it seemed wiser to ask about it before their arrival!

Upon hearing this, the man expressed his surprise, "Hasn't the Elders of the Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion told you about it?"

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue exchanged a look and both shook their heads...

They only knew they were heading for the Eastern Military Region!

The man sighed and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, being assigned to the military district where I serve isn't really a good thing!"

Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed, "Why do you say that, is it that our academy's students are not welcome in this military district?"

The other hastily denied, "No, no, no... That's not what I mean. It's just that among the four major military districts, ours has the worst conditions!"

"Not only that, but there are also no powerful allies like Tang Sect or Shrek Academy in the vicinity! So, life is very hard!"

At the time, he had joined this military district on an impulse, and now when he thought back, he couldn't express how much he regretted it!

Gu Yue pondered, "If it's just a harsher environment, it can't be as bad as you say, right?"

Tang Wulin also nodded in agreement, "Yeah, the harsher the conditions, the better the training we can get. If the conditions were too comfortable, there would be no need to join the military."

They were here to join the military, not to stay in a hotel!

The man was taken aback and then said with emotion, "If that's what you think, and if you can hold out, you should be able to get quite the training!"

After that, he took a deep breath, "Brace yourselves, I need to speed up now, we still have a long way to go to the Eastern Military Region!"

Afterward, they bypassed Ming City from the side and entered the eastern part of the Continent. The road was fairly smooth and nothing unexpected happened during the journey...

However, after another three or four days, the scenery they were presented with was completely different!

It was a vast and desolate desert, with wind-blown sand that made it hard to see clearly even a dozen meters ahead...

Sitting in the vehicle, Tang Wulin looked out the window with a complicated expression and quietly swallowed, "This... this place is even harder than I imagined! In the middle of a desert!"

Gu Yue also said with a bitter smile, "No wonder they said that there are no powers like Tang Sect in the Eastern Military Region. In the vast desert, who would set up a branch here?"

When the two of them spoke, the man glanced up at the sky and said, "It's getting dark now; we'll probably need another day and a half to reach the Eastern Military Region, so it seems like we'll have to rest in the desert for the night!"

Tang Wulin said with a somber tone, "Um, big brother, there aren't any dangers in this desert, are there?"

He always felt that the desert under the night sky was eerily enough to make one's heart race...

The man gave a meaningful answer, "There are, and there aren't."

Gu Yue then explained, "Since there aren't any resources needed by humans here, very little human development has taken place, leaving behind quite a few soul beasts. Therefore, we might be attacked, right?"

The former immediately showed a surprised look and praised, "Not bad, I didn't expect Miss Gu Yue to be so well-informed about the desert!"

Gu Yue maintained a poker face, "The school... um, Teacher Xu once taught us this knowledge."

Tang Wulin voiced his doubt, "Hmm? Did Teacher Xu really say these things? I don't remember them."

Gu Yue shot him a look, "You must not have listened carefully!"

After speaking, they used the Soul Guidance Support to set up a temporary tent. Although it was simple, it could still resist the wind and sand.

Inside the tent, Tang Wulin sat down beside Gu Yue, "Gu Yue, want to eat something?"

After speaking, he took out a wrinkled piece of hardtack from his soul tool and passed it over...

Gu Yue nodded, took it, glanced at it, and then slowly began to chew...

```

Although it was a bit astringent, it wasn't as hard to swallow as I had imagined!

Seeing this, Tang Wulin also took out a piece of dry food and began to eat…

He casually opened his mouth and said, "Gu Yue, can you now tell me why you decided to join the army with me?"

Back at the academy, when he invited her to enlist with him, she had briskly refused!

Yet this time, she had unexpectedly changed her mind, which was completely out of character for her!

Gu Yue was visibly flustered, "I… I…"

The man sitting beside them watching the two said enviously, "Is there even a need to ask? Surely Miss Gu Yue is worried about your safety, so she abandoned everything to enlist with you!"

When would he ever be able to have such a beautiful and attentive partner?

With this step provided, Gu Yue's face flushed with shyness as she softly "Mhmm…" in agreement

Tang Wulin held her palm and placed it on his chest, "Gu Yue, thank you. No matter what happens in the future, I will definitely protect you!"

Just as they thought they were going to spend the night under the baptism of the sand and wind…

"ROAR!!"

A roaring sound that filled the sky suddenly swept across the desert…

The man who was always on edge stood up first, his expression darkening, "Not good!"

He glanced over at Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, reminding them, "I'll go out and check, you two stay in the tent!"

Tang Wulin couldn't possibly remain calm in such a situation and said gravely, "Was that roar just now from a soul beast?"

Gu Yue replied with certainty, "Most likely, and given how long it echoed in the desert, it has to be at least a ten-thousand-year soul beast!!"

After a pause, she continued, "Let's go out and check as well!"

With that, they walked out of the tent…

In an instant, a chill rose up everyone's spine…

Not far away, there were a dozen pairs of eyes flickering with a strange light…

Even though they couldn't make out their figures, it did nothing to lessen the immense threat they posed!

The man in front of them wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and exclaimed in terror, "In the desert, eyes that emit a green glow, could it be… Desert Fox-Wolves!!"

Tang Wulin furrowed his brow, "Desert Fox-Wolves, are these soul beasts very powerful? I've never heard of them. Gu Yue, have you?"

Gu Yue shook her head too, indicating she was also clueless…

The man clenched his teeth and explained, "Desert Fox-Wolves' combat ability is mid-level among soul beasts of the same rank, but they're extremely fast and particularly possess intelligence no less than that of humans, making them cunning and hard to deal with!"

"Not to mention the numbers, just the fact that we can't clearly see their figures in this desert means… we might be in danger of losing our lives!"

He was only a Soul Elder; protecting Tang Wulin and Gu Yue in such circumstances was simply impossible!!
