"It's you?"
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.
Because the person who had just applauded was the front desk lady from the Ocean Paradise Hotel, the one with the curvaceous figure and an aura of mature charm.
"What are you doing here?"
Ye Feng asked her, feeling confused.
"Why can't I be here?"
The woman retorted with a smile.
"Uh..."
Ye Feng felt a little awkward.
However, he reasoned that her presence here had nothing to do with him, so he pulled Xiaoxiao away.
After Ye Feng and Xiaoxiao left, a group of people rushed forward, some with bare hands, others wielding various weapons, and began to assault the braided man on the ground...
"Big brother, it's so chaotic here, and the people are so crazy!"
As soon as Ye Feng and Xiaoxiao sat down at a table, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows and murmur.
"Most of the people here... are no longer human, but beasts!"
"They are venting the desires and emotions accumulated in this apocalypse!"
As soon as Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the woman in the OL outfit, the front desk lady, chimed in.
After speaking, she casually sat down herself.
Ye Feng frowned slightly, offering no opinion, and began to observe his surroundings. He noticed that it was indeed very chaotic.
Specifically, the bar seemed to have more than one entrance, and every time new people came in, it would trigger a conflict.
However, there was a certain order, such as the area where they were sitting, which was relatively peaceful, and no one bothered the bartenders or anything.
"Hey, have you heard? Two of the Dune Gang's men were taken out?"
Soon, the conversation from a nearby table attracted Ye Feng's attention.
"Holy crap, is that true?!"
"It is. Today, someone found the bodies of the Dune Gang near the Big Rock 13!"
"Who did it? That's so arrogant. The Dune Gang has a pretty close relationship with the Skull Society!"
"I don't know. They probably run into some tough outsider while robbing along the main roads!"
"Hey guys, speaking of the Skull Society, there's some explosive news today!"
"What is it?"
"Tell us quickly!"
"Today, a team from the Skull Society was also wiped out!"
"Pfft!"
"Who? This isn't just explosive, it's outrageous!"
"I'm not sure. That small team from the Skull Society, along with their vehicle, was blown to smithereens... I heard the Skull Society is desperately looking for the perpetrator!"
"Awesome, daring to take out someone from one of the three major forces of the Dune Gang, and a whole team at that!"
"Shhh, keep it down~"
"They're probably some explorers from out of town..."
...
"That rest area with the big rock is called Rock 13... The Dune Gang has a close relationship with the Skull Society..."
From the conversation of those people, Ye Feng gathered some information.
"Explorer, would you like a drink? My treat!"
At this moment, the front desk woman's voice rang out.
As she spoke, she handed Ye Feng a small cup of water.
"No, thank you~"
Ye Feng waved his hand. He wasn't familiar with this front desk woman, and the water was from the bar counter. Ye Feng wasn't sure of its safety.
"Explorer, you're really vigilant!"
The front desk woman didn't seem surprised by Ye Feng's reaction. She directly lifted the cup to her own lips and drank it.
"Tell me, what do you want to know? Maybe I can help!"
After a pause, the front desk woman spoke again.
"This..."
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "I want to know how big this desert is!"
"Uh..."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's question, the usually confident front desk woman suddenly hesitated, her expression a little awkward.
"Pfft!"
"Cough cough~"
"Pure newbie!"
"Hahaha~..."
Ye Feng hadn't deliberately lowered his voice. The surrounding guests heard Ye Feng's question and burst into laughter, some even choking on the water they were drinking.
"Explorer, the size of these dunes... probably no one knows how big they are!"
Under Ye Feng's perplexed gaze, the front desk woman spoke.
"Are there any oases in the desert, especially in this direction?"
As he said this, Ye Feng rolled up his sleeve and revealed the Arcane Pointer on his wrist.
"Is that... is that an Arcane Pointer?"
Seeing the item on Ye Feng's wrist, the front desk woman's expression changed.
"Yes!"
Ye Feng nodded.
"In that direction... there are no oases in the known areas."
"And if you go straight in that direction, you'll encounter a perpetually existing, sky-obscuring super sandstorm zone whose range no one knows!"
"Even off-road vehicles weighing several tons can be swept away!"
The front desk woman slowly explained to Ye Feng.
"Is that so..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately felt a bit troubled.
"Hey, you dumb kid, if you go in the direction your Arcane Pointer is pointing, it's a dead end. How about I eat you instead!"
At this moment, a tall man with strange patterns painted on his face and wielding a rusty great axe shouted at Ye Feng.
As he spoke, he revealed a mouth full of long, sharp teeth, completely unlike human teeth, looking quite terrifying.
"You and the little girl next to you, with your tender skin, must be delicious!"
"It's been so long since I've seen people like you, I'm practically salivating!"
The great axe man walked towards Ye Feng and Xiaoxiao, a look of madness on his face.
He licked his lips, his sharp teeth grazing his skin, causing it to break and bleed scarlet blood...
Ye Feng remained silent, quickly got up, and walked towards the great axe man.
"Kid, you're brave, to actually..."
Before the great axe man could finish his sentence, there was a dull thud, followed by a series of sharp "crack... crack..." sounds of bone breaking.
It was Ye Feng who had thrown a swift punch, smashing heavily into the great axe man's chest, causing his sternum to instantly cave in...
"Pfft!"
The great axe man was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, and crashed heavily onto the ground, his fate unknown.
Seeing this, the Hell Bar erupted in another wave of frenzied cheers.
"He didn't even use any Arcane energy, relying solely on his physical strength to beat the cannibal Hog like that..."
"Explorer, your body is truly remarkable!"
The front desk woman composed herself and said.
"It's alright~"
Ye Feng clapped his hands and sat back down.
"My name is Ye Feng. Tell me about the situation of the explorers in the entire Dune."
As he spoke, Ye Feng's hand flashed, and a bottle of cola appeared in his hand, though he didn't offer it to the front desk woman.
"My name is Xue Yuli!"
"Since the Great Cataclysm, many people in the Dune have died or fled... The current Dune is almost devoid of ordinary people, mostly explorers~"
"Among the explorers in the Dune, besides those from out of town like yourselves, most are looking for unique resources in the desert, such as wood-element and water-element Arcane Origin Stones..."
"Of course, a few are looking for... the legendary Crescent Spring and Regenerating Wood..."
The front desk woman nodded. She naturally understood Ye Feng's intention and didn't dawdle, quickly explaining to Ye Feng.
"Crescent Spring and Regenerating Wood? What are those?"
Ye Feng was quite puzzled.
...
