At dusk, the golden sunlight slowly sank behind the mountain, leaving only a little afterglow. At this time, the spring clothes almost turned red, giving people a bleak atmosphere. The wind blew, and a gust of yellow sand covered the sky.

However, such scenes did not bring any sense of desolation and pathos to the villagers. On the contrary, at this moment, all of them were beaming with joy on their faces, and their red faces were full of joy. Not for anything else, but because they will no longer have to worry about the plague.

Xiaohua was also busy all afternoon, and she was so tired that she was sweating. He also lost his previous reserve, and rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his face. He was also very happy, and for some reason, when he saw the joyful expressions of those villagers, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

At this time, the bearded man and Mo Qing had been surrounded, and the villagers thanked and bowed down. As for Xiaohua, she did not join in this lively carnival. Because he suddenly remembered something, Wu Zheng seemed to be still tied to the chair and couldn't move.

So Xiaohua hurriedly turned around and looked at the position of the chair. At this moment, Wu Zheng is close to shock. His lips trembled, a little shriveled, and his face was bloodless, much like an old man who had been sick for a long time.

Xiaohua couldn't help but be moved, he felt as if Wu Zheng was saying something, because he clearly saw the other party's lips moving irregularly. Then Xiaohua leaned to the other's mouth, trying to keep the ears as close as possible.

Then, Xiaohua heard Wu Zheng keep muttering: "Xiaohua, you have suffered a thousand cuts." ”

Okay, Xiaohua raised her eyebrows, if you take a thousand knives, you will suffer a thousand knives, after all, Wu Zheng is the hero of this time, so don't worry about it for the time being.

In the evening, several people were assigned rooms, and although the house still looked dilapidated, it was already the best treatment in the village. The house was very simple, but the bed was sufficient, so they lit candles and went into the house.

I have to say that Wu Zheng's recovery ability of this goods, after eating, he became lively again. It's just that Xiaohua always feels that Wu Zheng is keeping a distance from herself, intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't care much about it, Wu Zheng had a child's temper, and he might forget about it in a few days.

At this time, Mo Qing asked: "Wu Zheng's recovery ability seems to be stronger than ordinary people?"

The corners of Xiaohua's mouth curled up a curl, and he knew that Mo Qing would ask this question. In fact, not only Mo Qing, but even the bearded man has always had this question in his heart.

Now that the words have been spoken, Xiaohua naturally has no need to hide it for Wu Zheng anymore. So he said lightly: "You should already know after last time that Wu Zheng is not a human being." ”

"Not human?" Even though Mo Qing and the bearded man had already learned the secret, they couldn't help but be surprised when they heard Xiaohua's narration.

However, this is not the word "person", but in Wu Zheng's ears, it has become a different meaning. Why did he feel that Xiaohua was scolding him? Could it be an illusion?

"But. At this moment, Mo Qing asked his question again: "As far as I know, even if you are not a human being, you can't have such a terrifying recovery ability." ”

"That's right". Xiaohua nodded and continued: "Speaking of which, Wu Zheng's body is quite special, he is a half-demon

。 And his blood has some special effects. ”

"Oh?" Mo Qing couldn't help but playfully glance at Wu Zheng, who was sitting in the corner and kept kneading his stomach to help digest. Originally, he scolded Wu Zheng's opinion, and he regarded the other party as a rice bucket who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but after hearing Xiaohua's narration, he couldn't help but be impressed by Wu Zheng again. The big hidden in the city, the master is in the people!

Other things about Wu Zheng, Xiaohua did not reveal again. On the one hand, those are just some conjectures of Xiaohua. On the other hand, it's not a good thing to let them know too much either.

There was no word for the night, and the next day, the few people did not stay in the village much, and left on horseback. The men walked so silently that when they had all left the village, the villagers found out. Since then, a statue has been erected in the village, carved in the shape of a small flower.

It had already been delayed for a long time, and the four of them sped up again. After several days of riding on horseback, nothing happened. According to the bearded man, they were not far from the Far South. In fact, it is not necessary to say that the beard is not going to say, the changes in the surrounding environment are already obvious.

The trees on the side of the road are already lush. Large patches of grass grew on the ground, and a sea of green covered the field.

"This is the land of the extreme south?" Wu Zheng couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you say that the land of the extreme south is almost barren and barren?"

The crowd did not answer, but continued on horseback. Gradually, Wu Zheng could feel that the trees began to become sparse, from the beginning of the sky and the sun, and gradually became scattered.

Finally, after another gallop of fast horses, the bushes finally came to an end. In front of the trees, it became a large meadow, but the grass here was much sparser than before.

Xiaohua rode on the horse, looked into the distance, and then said: "There is a Gobi in front, and we should be able to easily bypass Nan Yaoguo's pursuit from here." ”

When Mo Qing and the bearded man heard this, they both nodded and had no opinion. Only Wu Zheng was a little weak in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Why don't we go the other way, after all, there is not even a family here." ”

However, no one paid attention to Wu Zheng, so let alone let Wu Zheng fart. The corners of Wu Zheng's mouth twitched, sniffed again, and did not speak again.

Xiaohua plans like this, it is really reinsurance. After the last battle, he knew Nan Yao's strength very well. Since they were able to send out a Transfiguration Realm, there would definitely be a second and a third......

And this Gobi Desert, although it seems dangerous, is a direct access to the extreme south, and it is undoubtedly the fastest passage. What's more, the Gobi is not the same as the desert. The so-called desert is really a forbidden area for human beings, in which you not only have to face the danger of dying of thirst and starvation, but also have to be on guard against wind and quicksand at all times.

The Gobi, on the other hand, is just as dry, but not without any water. Moreover, this kind of terrain is not all flowing sand on the surface, which also brings great possibilities for horseback riding.

After checking the food and water again, Xiaohua gave the order. So the men were seated, and the horses galloped into the endless neighborhood.

The four of them brought about five days' worth of food, and in view of the heat of the Gobi, they brought more water. occupy

Saying that the bearded man had been here before, he had only traveled on horseback for three days before he had reached the far south. Therefore, with him leading the way, five days is enough.

When he entered the Gobi, Wu Zheng felt as if his skin was burning, and the surrounding environment was like a big furnace, constantly scorching him. The horses also looked a little tired, because because of the terrain, they were always deep and shallow.

Speaking of which, the most suitable means of transportation in this kind of place is still the camel, and the creature of the horse is really not suitable. But there are no camels at the moment, so I have to use the horse as a camel for the time being, and keep telling myself in my heart that this is a camel.

After marching all day, several people have already gone deep into the depths of the Gobi. Here, a few people found a sheltered spot and stopped. The Gobi Desert is very cold in the evening, but fortunately, there are small grasses and old trees growing in the shade here, and firewood can still be found.

When a few people were about to eat dinner, Xiaohua suddenly patted her head and felt that something was wrong. His reaction aroused the vigilance of Wu Zheng and the others, and they thought that an enemy was coming, so they hurriedly got up and made a battle form. However, they saw Xiaohua shaking her head and sighing, and said in her mouth, "We forgot to calculate the consumption of horses." ”

Hearing Xiaohua's words, the bearded man also felt bad. He also forgot about this matter, he just felt that the four of them brought five days of reserves, which was absolutely enough, but they all forgot one thing without exception, the consumption of horses.

They could only rely on these four horses when they traveled through the Gobi, and it was such an important means of transportation that they forgot to reserve for them.

Xiaohua pondered for a while, and then threw out a question: "We still have two choices now, one is that we go back and come back after resupplying." We don't take too much risk by doing this, but we waste a lot of time. ”

"Well, be safe. Wu Zhengbu waved his hand in agreement.

Xiaohua naturally knew that Wu Zheng would choose this way, but he didn't say anything else, and said the second option. "The second is that we just keep going. Although the risk is relatively high, considering that a lot of time has been wasted, this is undoubtedly the best option. ”

After Xiaohua analyzed the stakes, there was still silence. This is another difficult choice, and once the choice is wrong, it is very likely to be three human lives, and one non-human life.

"What do you think?" asked Xiaohua again.

was still silent, and it wasn't until a long time passed that I heard Mo Qing say: "I have no opinion, you can do anything." Anyway, I joined later, so I'll just follow you. ”

Seeing Mo Qing say this, Xiaohua couldn't help frowning, looked at the bearded man on the side, and asked, "What do you think?"

The bearded man stroked his beard and grinned, "The Sprinkle family thinks that you can continue to go." ”

"Oh?" Xiaohua was surprised by the bearded man's answer.

But the bearded man analyzed: "You don't need to be surprised, although we have not prepared supplies for the horses, there are a lot of dead grass here. Believing this, it is enough for them to eat. As for the water, we give it to them, and we don't have to drink less. ”

"What's more. At this point, the bearded man paused deliberately.
