The most imposing part of the Desert City is the City Lord's Palace, which covers an area of 10,000 acres, and its buildings are invisible from the front to the back, and from the left to the right.
Adjacent to the imposing City Lord's House is a black and white mansion, which is not as grand as the City Lord's House, but is unique in its grandeur, and the two jade lions in front of the door highlight the low-key luxury of this mansion.
This is the Fang family's young master's residence, but there is no young master of the Fang family here today, because the wedding is coming up, so the young master of the Fang family has already taken up temporary residence in the city master's residence, and this young master's residence has naturally given way to the most powerful family of the Fang family, or rather, the family closest to the Fang family.
The Liu family!
At this moment, the young master's hall, the Liu family head is with several elders will sit on, although the city master's house next door has long been decorated with lights, in the young master's house can also be heard in the city master's house of laughter.
However, at this moment, the people in the Young Lord's House were full of sadness.
"Report!"
A household servant hurriedly entered, kneeling down with a sharp shout.
"Rise." Liu Tao, the head of the Liu family, gaped and gently drank.
"Yes." The servant rose and then said respectfully, "The spies from the eight detachments have all come over."
"Very good, please come in quickly." Liu Tao said sharply.
When the servant left, Liu Tao and the elders looked at each other with a smile.
"The desert land is already getting hotter by the day, climbing by almost one degree of terror every year."
"The temperature of one degree per year may not seem to reflect much, but it is actually terrifying."
"Warm water is boiling the frog, the desert land is now becoming warm water, and we are the poor frog."
One degree per year may indeed not seem too hot, and ordinary people will not even notice much difference in three or five years, but if you build on the fact that in normal times in the desert lands it would only rise by zero degrees for thousands of years, this too becomes instantly alarming.
"If this continues, it won't be long before nothing living will exist in this familiar land of ours."
"Right now the scouts from the eight teams have returned, and I believe they should have brought certain good news." Liu Tao nodded, his face relatively relaxed.
Also almost at that moment, eight young men dressed in black walked in quickly.
"Greetings to the family head and the elders." The eight men were well trained and knelt down almost in unison as they spoke in unison.
"We are all family members, why do we need to be polite, hurry up and get up." Liu Tao hurriedly said.
The eight men looked at each other and hurriedly stood up.
"You have all been out for nearly three years, have you gained anything?" Liu Tao said softly and joyfully, his eyes filled with longing.
When he first went out, Liu Tao had given the eight teams a deadly order, if they did not find news for one day, they would not return for one day. Now that all eight teams had returned at the same time, there was bound to be some good news.
"Your Excellency, in these three years we have trekked through the mountains and almost searched the desert land as well as thousands of miles around, but there has been no news of its whereabouts, so for three years we have never returned to the Liu family."
"Unfortunately, today, three years later, we still haven't found it. But ......"
"We have its whereabouts."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Liu Tao and the group of elders were already ashen, but when they heard the second half of the sentence, they finally saw a glimmer of hope amidst their despair.
It was good to have news, at least it was better than sinking into the sea.
"Strangely enough, for the past three years, we have spread our eyes all around, but we have not been able to sense it until a few days ago, when we found an anomaly in a village."
"A village?" Liu Tao frowned.
"It's already far on the outskirts of the desert land." The handlers explained.
Liu Tao nodded, "Then what next?"
"We have limited manpower to station people in every place, so when something was found we immediately rushed over, but strangely enough, the village that we had detected a few years ago suddenly disappeared." The handlers said.
"There is still something so strange?" Liu Tao frowned, "Could it be that the people in that village also knew that you had gone over there, so they hid?"
"People can hide, how should the buildings of the village be hidden? It was as if that village had ceased to exist overnight, and even the ground had grown a lot of green grass overnight, as if no one had ever lived there at all."
"There is still such a strange thing?" Liu Tao said with a frown.
"Strange though it is, what is even stranger is that the scent did not disappear with the village, but came all the way towards the Desert City." When his handlers finished speaking, they looked at Liu Tao.
"What?!" Almost simultaneously, Liu Tao and the elders, instantly stood up nervously.
