Chapter 799 - 667: Qin An’s Toughness
As soon as the path appeared, Qin An raised his eyebrows slightly.
When he had just arrived here, the other party did not respond to him. Only after he spoke did they make way for him.
It was clear that the Defenders of the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land were not very welcoming, perhaps not even wanting to see him.
This trip might turn out to be quite difficult, and his identity as the Savior might not be very useful here.
However, Qin An didn’t think much of it. Taking advantage of the road opened by the yellow sand, he walked deep into the sand.
...
After walking into the depths of the yellow sand, the sand became much smaller. Although visibility was still very low, walking was no longer a problem compared to before.
At the end of the yellow sand, there was a blurry spot of light, not clearly visible.
As Qin An approached, he could finally see the appearance of this spot of light.
The light was as tall as a person, not glaring, emitting a soft glow.
The air around it was somewhat distorted by the light, making it look unclear.
A voice emerged from the light, entering Qin An’s ears.
"Since Mr. Qin is here, please come in and talk. Our Yellow Sand Forbidden Land supports the Savior, and it is natural to offer some hospitality."
The words were filled with a sense of politeness and propriety, as if they truly welcomed Qin An as they claimed.
But Qin An heard a hint of insincerity, even a trace of undisguisable disdain.
It was like having an unwelcome guest at home, but out of courtesy, not driving them away, just putting up with them.
However, it didn’t matter to Qin An. He needed to see the people first.
Without further thought, Qin An stepped into the light.
A wave of blurriness came over him, obscuring his vision completely.
When the blurriness faded, the scene in front of him gradually became clear.
Qin An looked up and scanned the front, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, he found himself in an oasis.
Looking up, he saw lush green trees everywhere. When the wind swept through the woods, a rustling sound could be heard.
Not far away, a river flowed with a rushing sound, encircling the entire forest.
The sun in the sky cast a soft glow, bringing intense vitality to the forest.
In the center of the forest, a nine-story tower rose from the ground.
The entire building was made of wood, adorned with fresh green leaves and brimming with endless vitality.
Birds perched on tree branches, tilting their heads to observe Qin An, as if assessing this outsider.
A voice slowly came, carried by the whistling wind, spreading across the greenery.
"Mr. Qin, please come into the building for a chat."
Qin An sneered and stepped into the forest.
This scene, and this pomp, stood in stark contrast to the yellow sand outside.
He was curious to see what these Defenders were up to.
Upon entering the forest, there was a narrow path flanked by various green plants. Fresh air blew in with the wind, making one’s mind sway.
Under each tree stood a person.
These people were Defenders of the Forbidden Area, but when they looked at Qin An, the Savior, there was no sign of respect, only undisguised disgust and strong impatience.
Qin An felt these gazes but kept a calm demeanor, continuing forward.
When he reached the tall building, he finally got a full view of it.
The large doors at the bottom of the building were open, and if one looked closely, a figure could be seen inside the door.
Qin An did not hesitate, stepping into the entrance of the tall building.
Inside the entrance was a huge room.
The room was furnished with various antique and elegant items.
A middle-aged man sat in a chair, sipping tea lightly.
Sandalwood incense on the table emitted swirling blue smoke that floated in the air, spreading its fragrance, refreshing the mind.
"Mr. Qin, please have a seat."
The middle-aged man gestured to a nearby seat, a hint of eagerness on his face: "I am Kong Zhang, the steward of the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land. I have long admired Mr. Qin’s reputation, and meeting you today is as expected."
Besides eagerness, there was also a trace of a smile on his face.
But the smile was not as warm as spring, instead exuding a sense of aloofness.
Qin An sat down, his fingertips tapping the table, raising an eyebrow: "I didn’t expect such a fresh and elegant place inside when it’s all yellow sand outside, you really know how to enjoy yourselves."
Kong Zhang’s smile became even more forced: "Mr. Qin flatters us, this greenery was painstakingly developed by us. After all, no one likes living in a land of endless yellow sand."
Qin An’s fingertips tapped the table: "I’ve heard there’s a treasure in the Yellow Sand Forbidden Land that can imprison enemies. May I borrow it?"
With the border war situation urgent, he planned to address it directly.
As for Kong Zhang’s expression, even if it were spoken aloud, he might not get it.
If offered, he would take it; if not, he would think of another way to obtain it.
Upon hearing this, Kong Zhang appeared troubled, clicking his tongue in a series of sighs.
"Is it difficult?" Qin An toyed with the teacup, asking.
As expected, it was exactly as he thought, Kong Zhang was unwilling.
If he guessed correctly, Kong Zhang would enumerate many reasons to dismiss him next.
Kong Zhang appeared troubled, saying: "If it were anything else, as long as Mr. Qin wants it, we would spare no effort to bring it to you, but not the Yellow Sand Bead. It is the treasure that stabilizes our Yellow Sand Forbidden Land. If we give it to you, I’m afraid the Demon Pseudo-Gods of the forbidden area would retaliate against us."
