Chapter 40: The Yellow Sands
The black shadow walked into the field of vision, and Gu Xiaobai saw its appearance clearly. The monster in front of him reminded him of a video game he had played in high school, with this kind of half-human, half-horse guy on it, except that the centaur in front of him was completely made of sand, with no mouth and nose, and only slow-flowing quicksand on his face.
"Please leave immediately, otherwise you will be killed!" The centaur actually spoke, although he couldn't tell where the sound came from, the knight on horseback was holding a spear in his hand, although it was also made of sand, but just looking at the cold light on the tip of the spear, he knew that it was not a decoration, if he didn't do what he said, the spear would stab Gu Xiaobai in the next second.
"Uh...... Hello, Mr. Renma?" Of course Gu Xiaobai will not leave, and finally encountered something related to "Sha", of course he has to inquire.
"Please leave immediately, or you will be killed!" the centaur repeated, his voice cold and untouched.
"I want to inquire about ......"
"Please leave immediately, or you will be killed!" this is the third time.
"Shut up Lao Tzu! I have something to inquire!" Gu Xiaobai was in a hurry, he had been walking in this ghost place full of yellow sand for six days, and he had long lost his patience, and finally met a guy who might know something, and he could only repeat one sentence, which made him suddenly angry and scolded.
"Kill!" The centaur suddenly began to accelerate, his limbs and hooves trampling on the soft sand turned out to be extremely steady, his speed reached the extreme in an instant, and the spear in his hand poked Gu Xiaobai's chest.
This time it came down suddenly, and the speed was so fast that Gu Xiaobai only had time to roll to the side, he clearly felt the tip of the gun grazing his head, and the sharp energy made his face tingle.
"Whew!" The spear was nearly two meters long, and at this time, half of it had already been poked into the sand, and the man and horse did not drag mud and water, and while pulling out the spear, he swept it in the direction of Gu Xiaobai, and the yellow sand was raised into a fan.
"Ding!" Ling Feng's blade hit the spear, Gu Xiaobai only felt a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, his body was destroyed by the powerful strength, and the whole person flew out.
"Damn, so strong?" The strength of this centaur is extremely great, you must know that Gu Xiaobai has undergone five years of physical training on a desert island, and he has not served anyone in terms of strength.
The body flipped in the air, Gu Xiaobai's feet kicked the ground, and his body flew out like a cannonball.
Seeing Gu Xiaobai rushing over, the centaur used all his strength to poke the spear in his hand to the middle, and the tip of the spear was facing Gu Xiaobai's forehead.
"Thorn Star!"
Between the two, a silver-white silk thread appeared, and then slowly spread, the silver dust was particularly conspicuous in the yellow sand, Gu Xiaobai's body actually froze in place, the Ling Feng blade in his hand had already connected with the spear, the tip of the spear shattered, and the entire body of the spear quickly disintegrated, scattered on the ground without a trace.
The strength of the spear did not dissipate until it completely collapsed, and then it hit the chest of the centaur hard, and a circular mark with a thick bowl mouth suddenly appeared on the body of the yellow sand, and the body of the centaur was strong enough, and he took the "Thorn Star" without falling apart.
The centaur roared angrily, and the two front hooves suddenly kicked on the ground, and the ground around them shook for a while.
Gu Xiaobai hurriedly stabilized his body, but when he looked up again, he found that the centaur had already rushed in front of him, and the hand that was originally holding the spear pinched his neck, and lifted it up like catching a chicken.
"Bang, bang!" The centaur's other fist kept smashing against Gu Xiaobai's chest, smashing him with a burst of blood and stars.
After smashing a few times, Gu Xiaobai finally had a chance to breathe, and the blade in his hand swept suddenly, and the centaur's arm was instantly broken, and the fracture was cut neatly.
The broken arm fell to the ground and dissipated like a spear. Gu Xiaobai hurriedly took a few deep breaths while he landed, and the feeling of lack of oxygen was suddenly relieved a lot.
The centaur had broken one hand and wanted to use the other one to catch it, but Gu Xiaobai had already prepared, and there was another knife from the bottom up, and the blades cut his other arm in half, hanging under his shoulder, like a petal of a defeated flower.
"I don't think you can do it without your hands?" Gu Xiaobai smiled and watched the centaur spin in circles in a circle at a loss, and he didn't seem to know what to do after losing his hands.
The centaur turned around a few times, and then he realized that he still had four hooves, and suddenly stepped on Gu Xiaobai for a while, Gu Xiaobai dodged a few times in a panic, but was suddenly kicked by a kick, this kick was extremely powerful, and instantly plunged his body into the yellow sand.
The centaur took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the two front hooves stepped on it randomly, and soon, Gu Xiaobai's body was completely buried by the yellow sand, and he couldn't see his condition at all, but the centaur obviously lacked IQ, so he just stepped on it vigorously, regardless of whether he was there or not.
"Thorn!" The voice sounded particularly refreshing, the Ling Feng blade slashed through the belly of the centaurs, and the yellow sand flowed down like a waterfall, Gu Xiaobai hurriedly rolled to the side, lest the yellow sand bury itself.
When the centaur saw Gu Xiaobai on the side, he completely ignored his disemboweled belly, and his two hooves stepped on Gu Xiaobai again, Gu Xiaobai at this time didn't panic at all, he just kept changing his position, and only with a high degree of concentration could he dodge these hooves flying towards him one by one.
Finally, the body of the centaur fell to the ground, and at this time he had no hooves, only the upper body of the "human" remained, and the part that originally belonged to the "horse" had turned into yellow sand.
Gu Xiaobai coughed a few times, and there was still a faint pain in the place where the centaur's fist hit him just now, and the hoof prints on his shoulders were still clearly visible.
"Your sister, I'll ask you about something, as for it?"
Although the centaur only had his upper body left and couldn't move, he was not afraid at all, and his body was still struggling, wanting to give Gu Xiaobai a few more punches.
"Forget it, I see that you can't speak, you just stay here, bye you inside. Gu Xiaobai sighed and planned to turn around and leave.
The strange cry of "Woo ......" spread out in all directions, although the sound was not loud, it was extremely penetrating, and it could penetrate far even in the wind and sand.
Gu Xiaobai looked back at the man who had collapsed on the ground, obviously he did the sound just now, what did this cry mean?
Looking around, at least there was nothing abnormal within the field of vision, Gu Xiaobai didn't plan to think about it, and decided to return the same way after sorting out the mask.
The sound of "woo ......" came from a distance, although it sounded a bit similar to a wolf, but it was not the cry of a wolf, Gu Xiaobai did not stop, and walked back regardless of it.
"Whew......"
"Whew......"
Soon, the cries came and went, the same cries were heard in all directions, Gu Xiaobai's face was pale, he had a thought in his mind, but he hoped that his idea was wrong.
The voice was getting closer and closer, Gu Xiaobai gritted his teeth, and his body suddenly rushed out, he knew that he was surrounded, but with the yellow sand in the sky as a cover, he should still have some advantages, he wanted to drill out of the encirclement as quickly as possible.
"Hugh!" With the acceleration effect of the ability, Gu Xiaobai's body shuttled like a sharp arrow, he only knew that the direction in front of him was the path to return, as long as he ran in this direction, it was right.
Suddenly, a row of black shadows in front of him forced him to stop, and the sound of horses' hooves "stomping" was constantly heard on the ground, just by looking at those black shadows, he knew that these were the same kind of guy just now.
If it was just one or two, Gu Xiaobai might give it a try, but the number visible in front of him had already exceeded twenty, and there were more shouts, and the number continued to rise.
"What should I do?" Gu Xiaobai's mind instantly gave an answer: Run!
As soon as he ran more than ten meters, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and those guys were pressing forward step by step, obviously not intending to let him go. They also held spears made of sand in their hands, the tips of which rubbed against the yellow sand and made unpleasant sounds.
Gu Xiaobai turned his head for a moment, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the people and horses behind him were actually black, not to mention seventy or eighty, and the yellow sand stirred up by the horses' hooves swirled up, converging into a large sandstorm, ready to engulf the poor little guy in front of him at any time.
"Damn! I just want to ask for directions, do you want to?" Gu Xiaobai dared to turn back again, he could only bury his head and keep running forward, and after a while, he would be blocked by another group, he could only be forced to turn, and that group of centaurs would also join the pursuing army, in just twenty minutes, there were already more than two hundred men and horses following him.
......More than 800 horses' hooves trampled on the ground, the heavens and the earth seemed to be shaking, and the sandstorm was even more exaggerated, and a large area of jet-black slowly swallowed the heavens and the earth.
"Don't chase it, you're sick!" Although Gu Xiaobai has sufficient physical strength, the momentum behind him alone is enough to be scary, in a panic, he completely lost his original direction, but he can only run forward, as for where he will go if he runs like this, it can only depend on fate.
It's been a long time since there has been such a magical scene in this desert, and nearly three hundred yellow sand centaurs are chasing after a man. These Yellow Sand Centaurs were originally just guards scattered in the vast desert to prevent outsiders from entering this territory, and their bodies were all formed by abilities, so they had no wisdom and only obeyed their master's orders: only those who entered the desert and still did not leave after the warning were killed!
Over the years, these centaurs have been considered executioners who have killed many people, but now they can't catch up with this dexterous guy. They ran from sunrise to sunset, and the distance they ran was tens of kilometers, to say the least, but the guy in front of them always kept a distance from them.
"Ah...... Ah......" Gu Xiaobai had been running for more than six hours, and he couldn't breathe.
"Big brother, big brother, don't chase it, I'm really going to run to death!" Even if Gu Xiaobai's body is so strong, there is still a limit, he finally can't support it, his speed is gradually slowing down, and the distance between him and the army of people behind him is also shortening.
"Someone! Help! Help! Help! Someone is going to die!" Gu Xiaobai's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, and fell to the ground with a "plop", he looked at the yellow sand in front of him, and a sense of powerlessness swept through his body.
Before his eyes closed from sleepiness, he could faintly see several figures who seemed to be running towards him.
