Dual Sword God

Chapter 294 Tao Shen, Traveling Together

Squad Leader Tao was still a bit dazed due to the disastrous battle that had only just transpired; he only came back to his senses when he saw Feng Yu's party arrive directly before his group.

His allies gulped as they held only their weapons; they didn't dare to let their guard down even if it seemed like they were saved by strangers; no one knew better than them the real dangers of the south. Naturally, this has its reason for if asking any random southerner, the same question; they would each give a similar reply - the greatest danger is none other than other humans.

Feng Yu looked at this with a smile; no one in his group took offense; they knew that these men were perfectly in reason to be cautious and it showed their depth of experience.

Though he was previously dazed, Squad Leader Tao had promptly recovered back to his norm; he used the moment Feng Yu arrived and the tense atmosphere to judge his reaction towards his men.

Noticing that Feng Yu didn't show any strange looks or malicious intent, he sighed with a hint of relief. Keeping a layer of caution, he smiled and greeted with a customary greeting for practitioners in this world, placing both of his palms together and making a light bow before speaking.

"I, Tao Shen, would like to offer my greatest gratitude to you saviors; if it weren't for you today, I doubt we'd be able to make it out of that scene alive."

Feng Yu looked at Tao Shen and greeted with a slight bow as he spoke, "Greetings, fellow Practitioner Tao. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, but while I would like to gratefully accept your thanks, I'll have to ask you to take it back, for you see, you wouldn't have gotten into this mess if it wasn't our group. Those Desert Lards were chasing us from the chasm."

When Tao Shen heard those words, his eyes flashed as he finally made a look of understanding; he stared at Feng Yu with a complicated look before speaking again.

"Haha, I see, I see, then fellow practitioner, I will hold your word for it. I can see that you and your company are traveling towards our direction; what say we travel together?"

Feng Yu smiled and replied, "Fine with me, we are indeed headed to the Oasis, but that's only a temporary stop."

Tao Shen made a pensive look, but he no longer pressed the matter; he smiled and spoke, "Great, then let us be off; the Oasis is right upon us."

Feng Yu nodded as he stared at Dai and the others, giving them a look; everyone then properly organized their Desert Prowlers around the traveling group, merging with their company.

Tao Shen looked at this with satisfaction as he raised his arm and slapped his own Desert Prowler, "Onward!"

Following his shout, everyone slapped their mounts, causing the hawk-like head of everyone's Desert Prowlers to raise it released a piercing cry.

Instantly, the group stormed off into the distance along with the carriage that brought the merchants, pulled by two Desert Prowlers. Their mounts leaving behind a long trail of dust clouds, fading from this sector into the distance scene.

While traveling, everyone finally managed to catch their breath; the previous battle had been a bit exhausting, not to mention with the south's unusual heat.

If there was anyone amongst the group that didn't even work up a sweat due to the humidity, then it was Feng Yu who relished the fresh hot air as if he was somewhere in the tropics.

"Ah, such fine air, it truly is a blessing to be in the south."

Feng Yu uttered in a faint voice as he closed his eyes in satisfaction.
