Chapter 40 Good Morning

The scorching sun was baking the vast land, making every grain of sand in the desert blistering hot, the extreme dryness making it suffocating.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Yang Xuan was tumbling down from the sky, his hands and feet flailing as he passed through the white hole, the moment he opened his eyes was shrouded in a hazy mist, and then he began to plummet.
"I'm going to die! Aaaaah!"
"How could this be happening in the sky!"
"You're tricking me, you rotten dog..."
Thump!
Yang Xuan's screams hadn't even finished when he plunged headfirst into the soft desert, with his upper body buried in the sand in an upside-down position.
"Hmm!"
Yang Xuan struggled wildly, kicking his legs in all directions.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his ankle and pulled him out of the sand.
"Phew, phew!"
Yang Xuan spat out the dust in his mouth, turned his head and saw Lu Xiaoqi dispersing the fire wheels under his feet with a look of disdain.
“How embarrassing, I'm like an ostrich.”
“Clearly the weakest, yet still trying to be strong and rushing in first...hmph!”
“Luckily we're in the desert, if it was a flat surface you would've had your head cracked open, laying there dead like a smashed watermelon. I wouldn't have been able to save you in time!”
"I had no idea it would just fall from the sky!"
Yang Xuan was brushing off the sand from his body, shaking his hair and causing a cloud of dust to fly up. On the side, Lu Xiaoqi was jumping around, clearly disgusted and trying to avoid the sand.
After cleaning himself up, he raised his head and looked around.
As far as the eye can see, this is a vast desert. In the extremely distant place, there are many mountains, like an oil painting on canvas, it's very unreal.
"Are we in the desert?"
Yang Xuan was stunned, it was his first time in the desert.
Luo Xiaoqi gave him a white eye, too lazy to answer, she looked left and right with a curious expression, finding it all very fresh.
"There's an oasis over there."
正在两人东张西望，观察环境的时候，凌乘风的声音从头顶上空传来。
杨玄抬头一看，发现凌乘风正脚踏虚空，一步一落，像是踩着一道无形的阶梯上，动作优雅，慢慢的往下走来。
When can I fly?
Yang Xuan couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
"Let's go."
Ling Chengfeng walked to Yang Xuan's side, raised his chin, and gestured for him to look ahead, saying: "There is an oasis ahead. This is a desert. We need to get to a place with water source as soon as possible."
"Well, okay, let's go!"
Yang Xuan nodded and led the way forward.
The three of them set off, heading towards the oasis that Ling Chengfeng had mentioned.
"Is this the world of Shanhai?"
Yang Xuan looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky. The sky was cloudless for miles. Lowering his head, he found the sand beneath his feet to be very soft, leaving a footprint every step he took.
He couldn't help but turn around and looked at Lu Xiaoqi and Ling Chengfeng suspiciously, asking, "Is this the world of mountains and seas? Why don't I feel anything special?"
Otherwise?"
Ling Chengfeng smiled and asked back, "Do you think there are ten suns here? Then this world would have been burned long ago. And how could any creatures survive?"
"Moreover, even if there were ten suns here, nine of them were shot down by Hou Yi."
"What's the connection with Hou Yi shooting the suns?"
Yang Xuan looked at Ling Chengfeng inexplicably, not knowing why he had to use this analogy.
"You don't know this?"
Ling Chengfeng laughed and shook his head with some emotion, saying, "This is the world of Shan Hai Jing. Mythological stories like Hou Yi shooting the sun, Kuafu chasing the sun, and Jingwei filling the sea... all come from Shan Hai Jing."
"What!"
Yang Xuan was suddenly surprised and looked at Ling Chengfeng incredulously, asking, "So you mean that mythological figures like Hou Yi, Kuafu, and Jingwei actually exist in the world of Shanhai?"
"It's possible."
凌乘风点了点头，说：“我们来之前，大白不是说过吗，这个世界是有神魔存在的。”
"That's too scary, isn't it?"
Yang Xuan unconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky.
Is there really someone in this world who can shoot down the sun? Or maybe a giant like Kuafu who can chase the sun?
It's just unimaginable...
Ever since learning that there may be gods and demons in this world, Yang Xuan has been much quieter on the road, and the three of them remain silent to conserve their energy and water.
"Oh my! I can't walk anymore. How much further do we have to go? Can't we just fly over with Yang Xuan?"
Lu Xiaoqi couldn't help complaining. The three of them kept walking forward, but they could never see the oasis in sight. After crossing one sand dune, there was another sand dune behind it, and it seemed endless.
“No.”
Ling Chengfeng shook his head and said, "We don't know what the situation of this world is, we must conserve our spiritual energy to deal with unexpected situations..."
Before Ling Chengfeng could finish his sentence, suddenly the sky and earth changed color.
"What's going on!"
Three people were shocked, just a moment ago the desert was incredibly calm, but now the wind and clouds were surging, the sky darkened. Before the three could react, a strong wind hit them.
Yang Xuan turned around and saw that on the horizon, thousands of miles away, a huge cloud of dust rose up, like a tsunami, covering the sky and heading straight towards their direction.
"Sandstorm!"
Yang Xuan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Run!"
Without hesitation, Ling Chengfeng placed his hands on Yang Xuan's shoulders and lifted him up, flying towards the front.
Road Xiaoyeqi summoned the Wind and Fire Wheel and followed closely behind.
Although the sandstorm behind them was initially thousands of miles away, its sweeping speed was extremely fierce, like an army of ten thousand horses, a terrifying flood beast, roaring and howling, chasing after the three of them.
"Look! There's someone ahead!"
Yang Xuan was being lifted by Ling Chengfeng, swaying in the air. Suddenly, he saw a strange person running fast on the desert not far ahead.
Through his back, it can be seen that this strange person is tall and thin, with a height of at least two meters. He dresses very strangely, wearing several pieces of different animal skins and bone ornaments, like a primitive man.
"Huh?"
The strange figure running in haste seemed to have noticed the appearance of Yang Xuan and his companions. He turned around, looked up at the three flying in the sky, and waved his hand joyously.
"Good morning! Are you also here hunting?"
This strange person has a long face, like that of a horse, and talks excitedly, saying, "It seems that there are fewer wild beasts appearing recently, and you didn't have much harvest today, did you? Hahaha!"
