Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3142: They’d Give Their Lives for Them
Previously on Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability...
They've barely journeyed a short distance before he's already requesting his brother to carry him. He shows such concern for his brother's well-being, unwilling to let him tire.
Since everyone else is enduring the desert trek, why should this one individual always be accommodated? Even if it's his own brother, such preferential treatment isn't quite right.
"I simply believe traveling by night would be more suitable; the daytime heat is quite intense," he stated.
"Night travel might be preferable, but there's the risk of losing your way. Nuonuo, haven't you observed that in this desert, the night sky lacks stars, offering only darkness?"
Qian Yizheng pointed out to the young child.
Upon hearing this, Little Nuonuo paused briefly, and after some thought, he realized the truth in the statement.
"That's absolutely true."
If that's the reality, then there's no valid reason to object to daytime travel.
Daytime travel it is; they'll simply have to bear it. They should just drink more water – they have an abundant supply, so there's no concern about running short.
"I have another query. The provisions supplied by the Saintess Sect surely won't suffice for the return journey. What will the men and children eat then? There's nothing to be found in this desert."
He inquired.
"Well... Uncle Qiushi and the others must have anticipated this, correct?" Min Yi's mouth twitched slightly as he responded, his confidence wavering.
He didn't possess much faith in that possibility; those dispatched for pursuit are likely high-level cultivators who tend to overlook minor details, making meticulous planning seem improbable.
However, it ultimately didn't matter. The Saintess Sect possessed ample food, so there should be some leftover, allowing them to successfully exit the desert.
...
After continuing their journey with the Saintess Sect for an additional three days, the group finally reached a forest.
"Oh my heavens, isn't this extraordinarily strange?"
"This is truly a remarkable spectacle! A forest situated right here in the midst of the desert."
As they followed the Saintess Sect members, the men let out exclamations of astonishment upon encountering a forest, with nothing but desert stretching in all directions except for this singular woodland.
Furthermore, this forest wasn't extensive; its boundaries were visible at a glance.
Despite being a rather diminutive woodland, the trees within were remarkably tall, reaching skyward. When everyone gazed upwards, they could barely discern the canopy, with the tallest tree already piercing the heavens.
"These disciples of the Saintess Sect harbor no virtuous intentions, that much is certain."
Observing this peculiar scene, a few men huddled together, attempting to appear inconspicuous, and began to murmur amongst themselves.
The previous night, while the Saintess Sect disciples were on patrol, they had managed to catch a glimpse of the rear, confirming the presence of numerous children being escorted by the disciples.
Engaging in tasks while escorting so many children – what good could possibly arise from such a situation?
"Every one of us must remain vigilant and proceed with utmost caution."
"Tsk!"
One of the men clicked his tongue softly, subtly casting glances at the leading Saintess Sect disciples.
"Had I known this would be the situation, I would never have volunteered. While life without wealth would be challenging, it's certainly preferable to risking my life. And now, who knows what awaits us."
"What's the use of saying that now? Why didn't you consider that possibility earlier?" another man retorted, rolling his eyes.
Instead of lamenting their predicament, it would be more prudent to heighten their vigilance and guard against the Saintess Sect disciples. Yet, he observed that some men seemed to be enjoying themselves; before he fell asleep the previous night, he even overheard some Saintess Sect disciples in conversation with those men, attempting to placate them.
Those men, easily swayed by the Saintess Sect disciples' words, appeared to have lost all their resolve, seemingly ready to lay down their lives if commanded.
