When everyone was thanking Lu Yun, Lu Yun just said lightly: "Everyone take your things back, there is no need to do this."

However, when Lu Yun said this, everyone shook their heads.

This time, he helped the people here solve a huge problem.

How could we not trust him?

How can I not be grateful to him?

They felt that these small gifts were nothing, even a little shabby.

Therefore, they had to force Lu Yun to accept it no matter what.

But Lu Yun is also very stubborn.

Besides, they really couldn't eat the food and drinks, especially the food like gerbils.

For the indigenous people here, this is the best food. Unfortunately, Yunlong and his friends really can't afford it.

Besides, even if they were willing to eat, carrying so much food would be a burden.

After much thought, Lu Yun came up with a compromise.

He said to the Sand People, "Gentlemen, don't give me these things. If you really want to thank me, why not do me a favor?"

These people looked at each other, not knowing what Lu Yun was talking about.

But the gatekeeper spoke first: "You go ahead."

Now the biggest change in his attitude towards Lu Yun is.

Because before he was the one who was most resistant to Lu Yun coming, but now he has become the one who is most grateful to them.

Of course, he could not disobey Lu Yun's words.

Lu Yun nodded and said, "I want to go to the Nine Netherworld. I know the entrance is here. If you are willing, you can help me lead the way!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

"Nine Hells?"

"What are you doing at your place?"

"That place is very dangerous."

Everyone was talking about it, but Lu Yun just waved his hand.

Following his action, the originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down, waiting for him to continue.

Lu Yun then said, "I have a curse on me. The way to break this curse is to go to the Nine Netherworld and look for a magical medicine that can only be found in the Nine Netherworld City."

"Otherwise, it will slowly take over my mind."

Lu Yun is the benefactor of these people.

When they heard Lu Yun say that he was in such trouble, the crowd instantly went wild.

At this time, the gatekeeper said, "How about this, let's go together. I have been to that place before when I was escaping."

"But I only reached the entrance of the cave and never went inside."

There is a sign at the entrance of the cave in the Nine Netherworlds saying "No Entry".

The people in this place actually have no written language. These four words should have been introduced from the outside world. As for who carved them here, no one knows.

It is said that these writings have existed for hundreds of thousands of years.

That place is a restricted area and no person or living creature can pass through there.

Once you enter the cave and are sucked in, you will never be able to escape and will be imprisoned inside.

When he fled there, he just leaned against the outside of the cave entrance and took a nap, and did not enter the Jiuyou cave.

The people here don’t know other words, but these four words are engraved in the genes of them and even the animals here.

That night, when he leaned against the edge of the cave, he heard bursts of ghost howling sounds coming from the cave.

He was also shocked at that time.

Although he was curious, he didn't dare to look inside and just endured the whole night.

Because at that time, he was still relatively young and his heart was relatively fragile, so he was a little afraid of such places.

So that place became a psychological shadow in his mind, and until now he has never been to the Nine Netherworld again.

But now that Lu Yun and the others said they wanted to go there, he of course decided to lead the way.

Lu Yun smiled and said, "Okay, then you can take all your things back. You can come back after we go to the Netherworld."

With the local natives leading the way, they don't have to waste any more time.

Another point is that the time of appearance here is limited. Although there are no desert monsters to cause trouble, the temperature difference during the polar day is also fatal.

These people living in the heart of the desert have a living map engraved in their genes.

With this living map in their heads, they can find places like safe havens.

However, seeing that Lu Yun and the others did not intend to take anything, the gatekeeper thought about it and took some from each of the people who brought salt.

Lu Yun originally intended to refuse, but the gatekeeper told him that they might not have enough food and they could only walk to that place.

The speed is very slow and it will take about ten days to arrive.

During this period, they need to replenish water and find food.

This will waste time again.

Fortunately, water and food can be found.

But the problem is, he knew everything about Lu Yun and the others eating snake meat yesterday.

They can't stand the smell.

If there was no salt, they would probably go hungry in the next few days.

I'm afraid my body won't be able to take it before I even reach the Netherworld.

So he decided to bring some salt, which can be used as a seasoning when necessary.

After preparing their things, they immediately set off for the Nine Netherworlds.

The climate in the desert is extremely dry, and the sand is a very strange thing. The surface temperature can reach over 80 degrees during the day, but at night, the temperature can drop rapidly to around minus 50 degrees.

In the northern continent, where the temperature difference is extremely large, it is dangerous to not have a suitable shelter.

Fortunately, the gatekeeper is extremely familiar with this place.

Before noon and early morning, he could always find a place to hide from the sun or the extreme cold.

He could also tell when a storm was coming by observing changes in the celestial phenomena.

Not only that, in the gatekeeper's mind, there is a living map, and the bare surface of the desert does not affect his travel here.

Pengdong's eyes were wide open.

To him, this place was no different; everything was the same.

He also didn't know how the gatekeeper distinguished the roads in the desert.

So he asked the gatekeeper curiously.

The gatekeeper told him that people living in the desert have a special ability: they can remember everything about the desert terrain after just one glance.

Wherever there is Haloxylon ammodendron and Populus euphratica, the oasis can be inferred just by looking at the terrain.

This is the eternal and unchanging law of their lives on this homeland.

Lu Yun is very familiar with this kind of thing.

Looking at Pengdong asking questions, he just smiled.

What he is most concerned about now is how far away he is from the Nine Netherworld...

So he asked the gatekeeper, "How long do we have to go?"

The gatekeeper said, "It will be today!"
