After a day of hard trekking, we finally approached the end of the forest, but this was not the time to celebrate, because after that, what stretched before us was an endless desert, scorching under the scorching sun, with no wind or shade.

The soft soil has been replaced by sand and rocks, and the hillside is covered with rocks of different sizes. As soon as you leave the forest, the hot air rushes towards you like a hungry wolf, making you suffocate.

Yuxi waved her hands irritably to dispel the heat and asked in confusion: "Brother, where are we?"

Kain unfolded the map, pointed to a location, and replied: "This is the edge of the Misty Forest, the King's Canyon."

After hearing this, Yuxi rubbed her ears in astonishment, and then asked anxiously: "What did you say? King's Canyon?"

Kain nodded in confirmation: "Yes."

The name of King's Canyon stirred up a thousand waves in Yuxi's mind. He had fought there day after day, night after night, side by side with his comrades, shedding blood. Could it be that the King's Canyon here was also a battlefield for heroes?

Yuxi's thoughts were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and it was difficult to stop them. He smiled and said to Kain, "Brother, in this King's Canyon, are there strong men from all sides coming here every day to fight, just like 5v5?"

When Kain heard this strange statement, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

When Kain heard Yuxi's fantastic idea, he couldn't help but look puzzled: "What do you mean? The Canyon of Kings is one of the twelve wonders of the King's Continent. It is the treasure of our civilization. Who dares to destroy it so easily?"

Just when Yuxi thought that Cain had finished speaking, he unexpectedly continued, "However, your idea is not entirely unreasonable. There is indeed a strange force in the Canyon of Kings that weakens even the most powerful people and makes them balanced."

"In addition, the buildings in the canyon are indestructible, making it an excellent duel training ground."

Afterwards, Kain told Yuxi in detail the origin and legend of the Canyon of Kings.

Originally, this area was a barren land. As early as the Age of Gods, in order to continue civilization, the gods used the Ark Core to create various powerful buildings. The sleeping guardian beast of the planet, the Ancient Wolf, was awakened by the powerful power of the Ark Core. The Ark Core has two powers of creation and destruction. The Ancient Wolf accidentally absorbed the destructive power of the Ark Core and became more powerful.

The Ancient Wolf, which contained the power of destruction, became extremely unstable, wantonly destructive and extremely powerful. The gods could not tolerate the destruction of the Ancient Wolf, but they were unable to kill it. As a last resort, the gods once again activated the power of the Ark Core and created a mechanical giant that was even larger than the Ancient Wolf.

In order not to endanger the source of civilization, the Upside-Down Sky, the gods manipulated the mechanical giants to lead the Ancient Wolf to a land far away from the Upside-Down Sky, where a shocking battle broke out. In the end, both the Ancient Wolf and the mechanical giant died, and the remains of this battle are the Canyon of Kings.

After hearing Cain's answer and explanation, Yuxi couldn't help but find it funny and laughed uncontrollably: "Hahaha..."

However, Cain didn't know why he also started laughing: "Hahaha..."

Then the two of them started laughing like crazy in the desert.

Yuxi stopped and looked at Cain: "Brother, what are you laughing at?"

"When I see you laughing, I can't help but laugh too. So what are you laughing at?"

Yuxi waved: "I just thought of something funny."

In fact, Yuxi thought about what the monsters, defense towers, buildings, fountains, etc. in the Canyon of Kings would look like up there, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Kai said helplessly: "You won't be able to laugh later."

"Ah, why?"

Kain explained: "There is a lack of water and food in this desert. We left in a hurry yesterday and didn't prepare anything. Are you sure you can still laugh now?"

"Uh... no way? Then why are you so calm?"

"I'm just trying to have fun in misery. Besides, it only takes seven days to walk from here to the nearest oasis city, Jinting City."

"It's no problem for me to go without food or water for seven days and seven nights, but you can't."

Yuxi's face gradually turned bitter: "Aren't you cheating me? I can't play with you like this. I trust you so much, brother."

Kain wondered: "Why do you trust me so much?"

Yuxi explained: "If I don't trust you, who can I trust? You are the first person I have met in this world!"

Yuxi paused for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Brother, don't you want me to follow you anymore?"

Kain was silent.

Seeing that Kain didn't say anything, Yuxi thought that he didn't even know the way here. If Kain really didn't care about him, then it would be a problem for him to survive.

He looked around anxiously. He happened to see a bush not far away. An idea suddenly occurred to him, as if he had thought of something, and he hurried forward.

Just as he was about to move, Kain grabbed him.

"Where do you want to go?" Kain asked.

"Let me see if there's anything to eat around here. If I find anything, we won't have to go hungry for the next seven days."

Then he said pitifully: "Let me follow you, okay?"

"I didn't say you couldn't follow me."

Yuxi was relieved to hear him say that. He spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother, I'm a stranger here, and I have no one to rely on. Don't abandon me. Don't abandon me. I will find food... I will always call you brother."

"If you don't mind, we will be good brothers from now on. You are my elder brother and I am your younger brother. When I become stronger, I will definitely repay you."

Kain was silent for a while, then reached out and gently patted his shoulder.

"Well, I get it."

Yuxi was still uneasy: "Do you really know?"

Kain answered affirmatively, "I know."

After getting Cain's affirmation, Yuxi finally let go of the stone in her heart.

Then he said bluntly: "Can you please consider me as a normal person in the future? If I don't eat or drink for seven days, I will really die..."

"This stuff is not suitable to be carried and will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble," Kain explained.

Yuxi was speechless: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I just want to test whether you want to live. If you want to live, you must stay with me no matter what."

Yuxi immediately replied: "I will definitely follow you closely. Just don't cheat me."

Kain reassured him: "Don't worry, I'm your master, would I cheat you?"

Yuxi expressed her doubt: "Why don't I believe it..." Before she could finish her words, Kain glared back at her.

"Do not believe?"

"Then there's no point in me telling you so much. Just remember one thing. If we separate, you must not believe anything you see. What you see with your eyes here may not be true...including me."

Before he finished speaking, Cain said again: "I won't hurt you, but those things may not."

Yuxi nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

As the sun set, the two men staggered across the barren land, the golden afterglow shone on the exposed rocks, flickering with mysterious light. Kain stopped on a protruding rock, spread out a cloth map, sat cross-legged, and studied the route ahead attentively.

Yuxi looked around, searching for life with sharp eyes. He whispered: "Even if it's a mouse or a snake, I can eat it." However, a whole day passed, and they didn't see even the shadow of a bug. The feeling of hunger came like a tide.

Seeing this, Kain couldn't help but smile and gently called Yuxi: "Come here." Yuxi slowly walked to his side. Although he tried to remain calm, the green light in his eyes revealed his hunger.

"Are you hungry?" Kain asked with concern.

"A little bit." Yuxi replied, but in fact he was almost fainting from hunger.

"Are you thirsty?" Kain asked again.

"Not bad." Yuxi tried to stay calm, but his lips were too dry to hide.

Kain comforted him: "There will be food soon."

Yuxi asked doubtfully, "What will be available to eat now?"

Kain smiled mysteriously: "Something is approaching in the distance. We just need to wait here." After that, he put away the map and closed his eyes.

Soon, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually disappeared, and the sound of horse hooves came from afar. A group of bandits dressed in strange clothes were running towards them. Their bodies were wrapped in cloth, their skin was uneven under the masks, and they were holding weapons of various shapes in their hands.

Just as Yuxi saw them clearly, the system pop-up window finally appeared.

An intermediate demon species, already in human form, cannibalistic, smelly, blood can cure burns. Violent, greedy, bloodthirsty, untamable, inedible. Level 55, can be killed. Killing it will earn you a lot of experience.

Yuxi looked at the pop-up window in surprise: "This is the first time that the level appears." The three question marks on Cain don't count.

At this moment, the bandits were whispering in a language they had never heard before, but Yuxi was surprised to find that he could understand their conversation.

Alien Demon A: "Two men?"

Alien Demon B: "I wonder if it tastes good?"

Alien Demon A: "No matter if it tastes good or not, just catch it first. The refugees in Jinting City have almost eaten it all."
