Chapter 180: Strange Sandstorm
After they were trapped in the tunnel for about two days, Yi Hui looked at the weak appearance of the soldiers due to the lack of food, and decided to go up and investigate himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Before going up, he told a deputy general that if he couldn't come back, the deputy general would preside over the overall situation of the army.
Although the generals tried their best to dissuade them, and some soldiers took the initiative to ask for their lives, Yi Hui refused.
He didn't want to see young soldiers disappear one by one.
At that time, he drilled out of the tunnel and out of the well, and found that there was no trace of the sandstorm except for the sand and dust covering the ground.
Yi Hui felt that the sandstorm should be over, so he went to the warehouse where the general's mansion was stocking grain, carried two bags of grain and returned to the well.
But as he approached the mouth of the well, a shrill whistling sound sounded in his ears, and an instinctive reaction made him sense that danger was approaching, and he quickly sank into the well without thinking.
When he slid down to the mouth of the tunnel, he looked up and saw to his horror that the sandstorm was following him as if consciously, entrenched above the wellhead.
Not daring to think about it anymore, he hurriedly sank into the tunnel with two bags of grain, and closed the tunnel entrance in time.
Just two bags of grain, you can know with your toes, this is far from enough for the soldiers to eat for a few days.
Yi Hui had no choice but to distribute a limited amount of food every day to maintain his life at most, where could everyone be fed.
Every day, he would try to poke out of the tunnel, trying to bring in some well water by the way, but gradually he found that as soon as he appeared at the entrance of the tunnel, the strange sandstorm would appear immediately.
At first, he was able to get some well water in a race against time, but after the grain was eaten in the next few days, his physical strength gradually couldn't keep up, and he couldn't get well water as fast as a sandstorm.
Some of the young soldiers were also full of righteousness and took the lead, but they still returned in vain.
Slowly, many soldiers with weak physiques were cut off due to lack of water and food, and the few remaining soldiers were also sluggish.
Yi Hui prayed to heaven that the soldiers and horses who brought grain and grass from Kyoto every month would find out about the abnormalities in the city and find a way to rescue the soldiers, but his hopes were obviously disappointed.
The soldiers and horses that were supposed to appear that day to replenish food and grass did not appear, and I wonder if they also encountered a sandstorm.
Yi Hui was already on the verge of despair, but he thought that when a person's soul ascended to heaven, he might be able to talk to God, so he prayed in his heart over and over again, praying that the god of war in their hearts, Xuan Ming, would appear at the last moment.
Sure enough, when he felt that he was about to run out of oil and the lamp was dry, Xuan Ming really appeared like a god.
After listening to General Yi's statement, Xuan Ming was puzzled.
Especially weird about the sudden sandstorm he said.
According to the situation he described, the sandstorm came without any prelude, it came suddenly, and it seemed to be consciously attacking people, which shows that the sandstorm did not form naturally from the weather.
If you want to say that it is artificial, you have no clue.
Xuan Ming felt that the human factor must account for the majority, and after experiencing so many gods and ghosts, of course he believed that someone could do such a thing.
Why did he and Su come over at night, and the sandstorm disappeared without a trace?
Too many questions condensed in Xuan Ming's heart.
While they were talking, he checked the soldiers on the ground one by one.
She found that most of the soldiers still had some vital signs, so she immediately launched a rescue.
At present, there are too many soldiers whose lives are hanging by a thread, and she deeply feels that she has more than enough strength in her heart, so she hurriedly called Xuan Ming to help.
"Lord Wang, the last general has already recovered a little, let's go and see the other soldiers first!" General Yi struggled against the wall, looking at Xuan Ming with hope and gratitude.
Xuan Ming nodded, glanced at General Yi, and gently patted him on the shoulder, the emotion in his eyes was self-evident.
After that, he came to Su Yelu's side and checked the status of the soldiers with her, and the more he looked down, the more Xuan Ming's heart ached.
Many of the soldiers were familiar faces from the old days of riding their horses and whips, and now he saw that some of them had stopped breathing, and some of them were not far from running out of oil, which made him face so many soldiers who were loyal to him.
"It's useless to be sad at the moment, the dead are gone, and we must find a way to relieve the living as soon as possible. He cherished Xuan Ming's sadness and couldn't bear to comfort him.
"Xiao Xiao'er is right, now you have to compete with Hades for time. ”
As soon as Xuan Ming's voice fell, he rose into the air, holding his palms at his side, and in an instant, several purple qi emerged from his palms, gradually more and more, more and more densely.
Then he pushed his palms downward, and several purple qi in his palms projected into the bodies of the soldiers.
A steady stream of purple qi shot out from Xuan Ming's palm, and a thin sweat gradually appeared on his face as time went on.
It wasn't until the soldiers' eyelids fanned slightly that he stopped inputting purple qi and landed.
Su Yelu hurriedly met and hugged him, wiping the cold sweat from his face for him, and her pale lips made her feel sorry.
She knew that Xuan Ming was also at the master level now, but such a large output of skill was bound to have a great impact on her body, and she didn't know when she would recover.
Seeing that many soldiers gradually showed vital signs, Xuan Ming was also a little relieved.
Then Xuan Ming rested for a while, and then went to the tunnel mouth with Su Ye to fetch water, and fed the soldiers one by one.
Yi Hui was the first to be treated, and with the good foundation of the soldiers, he was able to get up and walk in less than half a day.
Xuan Ming told Yi Hui to stay in the secret room for the time being to take care of the soldiers, and he went out again with Su Yeyu to decide on the next step after some investigation.
When the two of them came to the well, they saw that it was getting late outside, and the whole town of Shalu was pitch black, only the shadows of the buildings and streets could be faintly seen in the moonlight.
They soared upwards to observe from above.
However, this observation led to a discovery.
About twenty miles away from Shalu Town, I saw a few bright lights in the vast desert, which was the direction of the border of the Thunder Country.
Suddenly, Xuan Ming's eyes sank, and he led the night to flash to the place where the light was shining.
As they got closer to the position, they could see scattered campfires glowing with light.
There are several tents around the campfire, and some people in cross-dresses go in and out of the tents, and some are sitting around the campfire drinking and barbecing, some men and women, talking and laughing.
"Honey, what do you think of this situation?" asked in a whisper with a hint of sharpness flashing in her eyes.
Xuan Ming pursed his lips and said coldly: "That sandstorm must have nothing to do with these people, let's see." ”
"My dear, I have an idea...... "Nightly Streamer looked condescendingly at those who indulged in fun, the corners of his lips hooked, and a hint of cunning appeared in his starry eyes.
