Book 2: Surviving In Another World From Zero

Chapter 32: The Desert

And that's how they continue their journey back.

"The guards just now might have been asked to look for the adventurers but they didn't dare to move and instead asked us to do it, instead of it being a little annoying" Purin said a little annoyed and latifa continued.

"It's true, but I think they also have a reason why they don't want to risk their lives."

"I'm sure because there's a giant worm-like animal that's going after the train he saw."

"Where did you know desu?"

"Actually the monster is behind us."

When everyone made sure it was too late. Everyone jumped off the carriage while their carriage including the horse that pulled it had been swallowed whole by the worm.

When Ardhi was about to draw his sword the animal had gone into the sand again and disappeared.

"That thing doesn't attack humans."

"Who cares, nyan, we're in the desert without supplies."

Nisa rolled around in the sand while Latifa tried to bury her.

"Mery help me, we have to make a funeral for him."

"It looks interesting."

"Oi, stop me alive. Uwaah, the sand goes into my mouth."

"Our condition is difficult, they joke around."

Ardhi just let out a long breath.

"From here we're going on foot, I found a little drinking water and food that we could share for a while."

"At a time like this Ardhi is very reliable, please carry me desu."

Ardhi did it half-heartedly and let him sit on his shoulder, he had a small physique which was why for him it was not difficult compared to his training all along.

"I think the way is here."

They all followed Ardhi, when they found an Ardhi cactus tree splitting it horizontally with its sword and saw that the contents of its trunk had water in it.

"It'll help us survive."

"I had several conversations with other adventurers and they told me a lot of new things when they finished their missions."

"So, instead of going to the red light district you'd rather spend time in the guild apparently."

"Why did you say that?"

"The adventurer always goes there, doesn't he."

"I don't think adventurers have a good name there."

Ardhi replenished his water bags and they resumed their journey, regretting that not putting food and drinks into the storage bag when it was like this would be very helpful.

After walking for an entire day, they found a cave for the night, just then from inside the cave a female figure with black hair on her side braids appeared while pointing the tip of her sword.

He has a white eyeball color which indicates that he cannot see.

"Who are you?"

Ardhi who was about to step forward stopped Latifa while Risa came down from her shoulders.

Nisa also prepared to pull her dagger.

"We're just people who happened to pass by here."

"Don't be too polite to her Ardhi, she's a top-level adventurer from the Lost Carnival guild named Anastasia."

Lost Carnival is a guild that often grabs powerful adventurers to join them, sometimes they also do not hesitate to use dirty ways to do so.

"You may have misunderstood me, even though I was in the guild I actually entered due to compulsion, please don't have a fight here."

"I guess what he said was true, let's explain the situation to each other."

Anastasia tilted her head with confused eyes even though she was clearly unable to see.

"Sorry, are you an adventurer?"

Of course the word was directed at Ardhi.

"We understand what you're feeling" Purin said as a representative.
