Chapter VIII

Gold, boundless gold, meets the sky on the distant horizon. Looking around at the dead desert everywhere, majestic, quiet, always scorching gold, as if nature is here to freeze the raging waves, empty the angry waves, in an instant, so that it will always be still.

I am moving forward step by step, I don't know what lies ahead, I don't know what kind of future awaits me, I just know that all I can do now is to move forward alive and find a place where there are people first.

And then, then, "Click." Shi Le looked at the chain in his hand with a confused face, and said in his heart: I, this is, arrested?

Why? Why? Wait a minute, let me remember that just half an hour ago, I was wandering alone in the desert, and I finally climbed over a sand dune, sat down to rest, and then took out the fruit in my bag to eat, and then, I don't know where two people appeared on the left, to be relieved.

One of them said, "What's the matter, Commander, why is there such a big fire?"

Another person replied: "Last night, the regiment leader's supper suddenly disappeared, it was a colorful brocade chicken, a second-order spirit beast, a rare beast in the food ranking, the regiment leader was stolen before he could eat a bite, of course he would be angry, and the regiment leader's high-grade jade spirit fruit was also stolen, eating one can make a cultivator who has cultivated to the spirit king level, cultivate to a higher level, the regiment leader's cultivation has reached the ninth order of the spirit king, but he has not advanced to the spirit emperor for a long time, he originally wanted to eat the jade spirit fruit to advance to the spirit emperor, and now the jade spirit fruit has been stolen, can he not be angry?"

The man asked again, "Is the Jade Spirit Fruit a kind of red fruit that seems to be transparent?"

Another person replied, "Well, yes." ”

The man pointed to Shi Le, who was about to take a bite of the fruit, and said, "Just like that?"

The other looked in the direction he was pointing, nodded and said, "Yes, that is the Jade Spirit Fruit." ”

Shi Le took a bite of the fruit in his hand, looked at the two of them, chewed very refreshingly, and then greeted with a smile: "Hey! ”

Shi Le looked at the two of them carefully, one was a little thin, wearing brown clothes, the other was sturdy, wearing gray clothes, covering half of his face with a cloth for sun protection, wearing a hat on his head, only two eyes were exposed, the person in brown cloth was holding a short sword weapon in his hand, and the gray cloth man had a scimitar wrapped around his waist and hung around his waist, the clothing style was similar to that of people in ancient times, it should be the reason for being in the desert, they put their sleeves away, tied them to their shoulders, and were tanned with their arms, because they were wearing shoes similar to sandals on their feet, and their feet were also tanned, Shi Le remembered that he was under the sun of the desertI haven't felt the heat and sweat all the time? Maybe it's because of the clothes!

Shi Le quickly finished eating the fruit in his hand, looked at the two people with surprised faces and said: "Great, I finally saw a living person, I thought I would be lost in the desert like this?

But the two of them did not answer her words, and the man in brown clothes said blankly, "Eat." ”

The man in gray clothes also said in a daze: "Well, I ate it." ”

Shi Le thought for a moment, was it the fruit, and then replied as a matter of course: "Well, I ate it." ”

"Thief. The man in brown said.

"Eh!" Shi Le asked, why did he call me a thief.

Before she could figure out why, the two of them had already prepared their fighting postures, pointing their weapons at Shi Le, guarding against Shi Le.

What's wrong with them, I don't look like a bad guy, why are they pointing their weapons at me, besides, how can I be such a cute bad guy.

The man in brown clothes said, "Brother Chen, do you want to go up?" Catch her, and the head of the regiment will definitely reward us." ”

"Don't act rashly, her cultivation must not be low, and it is very likely that she is above the head of the regiment. The man in gray said vigilantly, the man looked carefully at the little girl in front of him, with black hair and eyes, she looked about eight or nine years old, and her lovely face seemed harmless, but it was definitely not that simple.

This is the sand sea in the west, a seemingly calm desert, but in fact, under here, there are monsters and quicksand hidden everywhere, how can an ordinary little girl be safe and sound here! Our salon mercenary group has been mixed in this sand sea for a long time, since joining the mercenary group, and has carried out at least a dozen missions, each time it cannot avoid danger, and her companions have died. This is the first time Wu Sheng has participated in the mission, and he still has less awareness of the dangers of this sand sea, and as a senior, he has to protect his safety. Although he thought like this in his heart, in fact, his palms were sweating nervously now.

Her cultivation is not very high, she is only a third-order spirit master, Wu Sheng is still a small eighth-order spirit master, no matter what the opponent says, she has to be a spirit king, no, just because she can silently steal the jade spirit fruit in front of the head of the group, it is very likely that she is a spirit emperor.

The jade spirit fruit is not something that anyone can eat casually, the spirit king will have to meditate and digest for a long time after eating it, otherwise the powerful spiritual power of the jade spirit fruit will collide in the body, and if it is not digested, it will explode and die, this little girl eats it as if it is fine, she must have reached the realm of the spirit emperor.

Is this form deliberately hiding its strength and identity? What should I do, shouting for help? The convoy is behind the sand dunes behind. No, no, with her strength in this way, she will only anger her, and then kill us and leave, even if the regiment commander can come over in time, I'm afraid there will only be the two of us corpses left! What should I do? I'll hold her down first, and buy time for Wu Sheng to escape, if the Spirit Emperor says, how many seconds can I last?

"Wu Sheng, are there any flares left?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I take it?"

"You are ready, I say release you immediately, run after release, don't look back. ”

Wu Sheng was slightly shocked and nodded.

When Shi Le was still puzzled, the person on the other side had already regarded her as an extremely dangerous person. Shi Le thought about it, they must have misunderstood something, and took a step forward to explain: "That ......"

As soon as she opened her mouth, the man named Brother Chen shouted, "Release." ”

A "bang" flare exploded in the air.

"Ah" The man named Brother Chen instantly pulled out the scimitar on his waist, only to see that the blade emitted a blue light. He rushed towards Shi Le, jumped upward, and slashed at Shi Le.

Shi Le was suddenly frightened by his actions, and his body instinctively dodged to the side.

Brother Chen was startled and dodged, but he couldn't help hesitating, he stopped and turned to the right and then slashed at Shi Le, Shi Le didn't stand firm because he was too hasty just now, and fell to the ground at once, so he barely dodged the second blow, and then the third knife hit him head-on.

This time she had no chance to dodge at all, she was so frightened that she closed her eyes, just when she thought she was dead, but the knife never fell on her, the white robe on her body stretched out a white cloth like an arm, caught the knife that the man had fallen, and then instantly stretched out, wrapped around the man, tied him up, and the other was also pulled back and tied into two caterpillars, and then the clothes changed back to their original state and stood still.

Shi Le came back to his senses and exclaimed, Is this dress alive? Wouldn't it be the Seven Spirits? Thinking of the Seven Spirits' sunny face, he shook his head and said, How is it possible, absolutely not.

She looked at the two caterpillars, who were struggling to escape, and she said evilly, "Where do you want to go?"

The two were so frightened that they shrank into a ball and leaned close together, and she stepped on the body of the man named Brother Chen angrily, and said, "I just want to ask for a way?

"You thief, wait for the head of the meeting to come, see how arrogant you are?" Wu Sheng said.

And Brother Chen was still immersed in confusion, he kept thinking about just now, he actually gave her three moves, looking at the way she was just there, it seemed that she didn't know how to resist at all, if it weren't for the clothes on her body, he would have been able to get rid of her, right? The clothes on her body seemed to be a spiritual weapon.

"Who do you say thief? When did I steal your things, just call me a thief? You are the thief, your whole family is. Shi Le grabbed Wu Sheng's ear and said.

"I saw you eat it, and you said you didn't steal?" he cried out.

"Eaten?" Shi Le asked. Yesterday, she looked at the two people on the ground, could it be that the food that Qilu found last night was stolen?

"Cough no, no! I met it so coincidentally, Shi Le was suddenly embarrassed and had nothing to say, even if the thing was stolen by Qiluo, but the person who ate it was me, what should I do?

"Why, nothing more to say? I knew you stole it. He added.

Shi Le wanted to slap him in the mouth, but I still forgot about it.

[Le, get out of here.] 】

Suddenly the voice of Qilu came from her mind, Shi Le was trying to settle accounts with him, but she appeared inexplicably, and suddenly disappeared, and she actually carried his black cauldron, but she looked around and didn't find him. Auditory hallucinations?

[I'm just a spirit now, you can't see me, get out of here, steal food, sorry.] 】

Shi Le's pupils dilated, and he stared ahead incredibly, as if a gust of wind blew off the hat on his head, and then stroked her cheek, she felt it, it was Qiluo, but she raised her hand and grabbed it, but she couldn't catch anything.

"Well, I'll settle accounts with you later. Shi Le replied into the air.

She turned around to leave here, she didn't know why he didn't appear in physical form, but there must be some reason why he couldn't appear, she just needed to know that he was still there, really still by her side.

With a "boom", as soon as she turned around, an arrow flew from the front, grazed Shi Le's cheek, shot into the ground, and scratched a small scar on her face, and a drop of blood seeped out of it, which can be seen that this was deliberately missed by the owner of the arrow. At this moment, a man in red appeared on the sand dunes in front of him, with fiery red hair, fierce eyes like a falcon, and a red bow in his hand.
