The yellow sand stretched, and the jeep sped for hours in the golden waves, and finally reached a mysterious unknown area at about three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day.

When he came here, An Liman parked his car behind some sand dunes and got off the walking path, "The location we are in now is located in the hinterland of Lop Nur, a place that is not marked on the map and cannot be detected by satellites. ”

"Brother Anliman, how long is there to reach the Zoroastrian altar?" I poured a sip of water on my head with the scorching sun on my head, the temperature difference in the desert was too great, and the scorching sun was scorching at this time, like a fire, and the physical exertion was extremely serious, even the sand on the ground was so hot that it was difficult to get off my feet, which made everyone a little impetuous.

An Liman said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's best for us to walk slowly during the day, just arrive at that place before the weather is cool, you must remember that Zoroastrianism is in the northwest, and it is not a miscellaneous fish force, and after finding out the information you want, you will return immediately, and you must not clash with them head-on." ”

This ambiguous reply made me suspicious, and I also recalled Nangong Yun's advice before leaving, and I couldn't help but have some doubts about An Liman.

Did he deliberately walk so slowly to save his energy so that we could move next, or did he have other arrangements?

Thinking about it like this, I secretly glanced at Chen Xuanyi and Feng Li, both of whom were smart people, and they didn't need me to use words to dial in, they already knew my mind, nodded secretly, and cast a "understanding" look at me.

We continued walking, wabbling through the rough waters of the Golden Sea, and it took us nearly two hours to finally arrive at an oasis.

Seeing the cluster of greenery that appeared in the desert, we were even more excited than seeing our mother, and we couldn't help but want to run up wildly, holding the canal and drinking to our heart's content, but An Liman stopped us, and said with a serious face, "Don't come nonsense, every oasis in the desert is a scarce resource, and the Zoroastrian altar is also nearby. ”

At this moment, everyone was so thirsty that their throats were smoking, and Feng Li asked, "Could it be that this oasis is the goal of this trip?"

"That's right. An Liman looked at Nangong Yun beside him who didn't say a word, and whispered, "No matter how rampant the Zoroastrian forces are, in the final analysis, they are also composed of flesh and blood, so many sect members want to live, and it is impossible to leave the water source, so wherever the oasis in the desert is, you can basically see the figures of Zoroastrian members, and when it gets dark, this is their resting place." ”

Chen Xuan was puzzled, "What about the daytime, have these people been flowing in the desert?"

"Not really. An Liman shook his head, saying that during the day, most of these sect members lurked around the desert, looking for suitable caravans, and some would stay in the main altar to recuperate.

I raised my hand and asked, "And where is his altar?"

"Nobody knows. An Liman shook his head and stopped talking.

But I noticed something strange in his speech and demeanor, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, did this person really not know, or did he fake not know?

In order to avoid exposure, we only found a nearby sand dune and lurked quietly until it got dark.

The sand in this desert is enough to bake eggs, and the hard work of people being buried in it is naturally obvious, but in order to successfully complete the plan, we can only endure patiently until the sky gradually darkens, and then we feel better.

It was night, the breeze was blowing, and the yellow sand was like a jagged wave under the moonlight, stretching endlessly, and it was magnificent.

And under that small oasis, there were faint torches, and faintly, I saw several figures shuttling in and out of the shade of the trees, in groups of three or five, frolicking around the water source.

The outfits of these people are very different from the Han people we see on weekdays, most of them are draped in black scarves, long robes, with wide cuffs, typical Western Regions style, and they all speak the local language, which we can't understand.

"It's coming!" An Liman suddenly waved his hand to call us together, and then pointed to the figures that appeared in the green shade, "They are Zoroastrians, and the leader is called Hobas, who used to deal with me. ”

I squinted my eyes and looked in the direction of his fingers, and then I saw a tall, thin middle-aged figure with dark skin, holding a large knife with a curved bow and a thick beard, which looked extremely rugged.

This guy is a typical Hu person, although he didn't notice the abnormality, but when he bowed to the water, he showed a cautious and fierce face, and looked around at the wind and grass from time to time, like an astute poisonous snake.

An Liman whispered, "This person is a high-level person of the Zoroastrian Sect, as long as he is captured, he should be able to inquire about Lin Yuan's whereabouts, but worry, this guy is proficient in Western Regions psychedelic arts, he is a difficult opponent, and it is not easy to capture." ”

Feng Li immediately patted his chest and said, "What's so difficult about this, I thought I would meet these Hu masters for a while, just leave it to me!"

As he spoke, Feng Li immediately jumped out of the sand where he was hiding, and his body flashed, like a rattlesnake swimming in the sand, walking close to the ground and moving quickly.

Nangong Yun couldn't help but purse her lips and sighed, "Lin Feng, the person you brought is really good, where is this Fengli young man?"

Hearing this, I had no choice but to whisper, "He has no sect and no faction, he is a transformer......

Nangong Yun let out an "oh", her eyes flashed with brilliance, and said No wonder, in this young man, I can always feel a faint demonic aura.

Generally speaking, practitioners are divided into two categories, one is a Buddhist Taoist like Chen Xuanyi, who has a clear background in the lineage of teachers, and the other is a casual practitioner like me and Feng Li.

However, strictly speaking, there is a difference between me and Feng Li, after all, Feng Li is a transformer, and all means are obtained through the activation of the bloodline, which belongs to the innate bloodline talent, even if there is no master to teach, he can be self-taught.

It is precisely because of this that the transformers are regarded as outliers by the Central Plains Daomen.

However, Nangong Yun obviously didn't care about Feng Li's background, looking at his strange figure, she shouted again and again, on the other hand, Chen Xuanyi and I were also eager to try, outflanking from the left and right respectively, and surrounded the oasis.

Feng Li assaulted from the front, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the edge of the oasis.

It wasn't until Feng Li had already dived into the water and was about to approach that Hobas that the latter sensed something strange from under the rugged water, and immediately took out the crescent moon knife and slashed into the water, jumped up violently, and yelled.

Bang!

At the same moment, a splash exploded in the canal, and the water droplets splashed, shooting out a dark figure.

Feng Li's nails swelled, and a gray mist swam around his fingertips, turning into a steel knife and hitting Hobas in the face.

"Drink!" Na Hobas was not an idle person, he was suddenly attacked, and he did not panic, and directly blocked the crescent moon broadsword, and collided with Feng Li's nails, making a loud explosion.
