Chapter 41: Encounter
On the burning shores of the Red Sea, a red horse trotted across the plain.
Lu Yifan had been galloping all night, and the horse was already exhausted, it was thirsty and hungry, and Lu Yifan didn't let it stop until the early hours of the morning.
Its eyes looked longingly at the waves red with the morning sun, unable to understand why its owner could not let it rest for a moment.
"Good horse, good horse, hold on a little longer!" Lu Yifan touched the horse's neck and whispered in his ear to comfort it.
The red horse seemed to understand, or perhaps it didn't know anything, and although it wanted to continue galloping, its speed was still visibly slower and slower, slower, and its stamina was clearly not keeping up.
Lu Yifan gently lifted the reins, turned over and dismounted, and took out a black-brown clay pot from the horse's back, only to see that the jar was full of water.
Carefully put it to his mouth, and was about to drink something to relieve his fatigue, when he saw a huge horse's head coming over, his eyes staring closely at the black-brown clay pot in Lu Yifan's hand.
"Come on, come on, I'll give you some water if you want to run!"
Lu Yifan put the mouth of the clay pot to the horse's mouth, poured it down, only listened to the grunt, a jar of clear water quickly bottomed out, Lu Yifan wanted to leave some for himself to spare, he was not sure when he could find a suitable water source.
A jar of water was quickly drunk by the horse, but it was not enjoyable, and continued to rub his head towards Lu Yifan, Lu Yifan pushed the horse's head, regardless of whether it understood it or not, and said: "The last bit of water is for you to drink, no, we have to find a water source!"
Lu Yifan sat on a big rock, sometimes looking at the horse grazing with his head down, and then looking at the sea in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"He didn't come all night, and he didn't know if he would knock those people back......," Lu Yifan sometimes muttered to himself, sometimes staring at the sky and the beach.
No one chased after him overnight, presumably the pursuers were all stopped by Changxi, or the target of those grassland tribes was just Changxi and a fugitive, as for Lu Yifan, he was not in the ranks of their pursuit.
When Lu Yifan inadvertently glanced at it, he found that there was a big black horse galloping in this direction on the southern coast, and Lu Yifan couldn't see the face of the man on the horse clearly, because his whole body was lying on the horse's back.
"Alone, don't be afraid!"
After careful observation, Lu Yifan found that there was only one person on the other side, even if he was really an innate martial artist, Lu Yifan felt that he could deal with it alone, even if the flying sword sword qi in his body had not been eliminated.
With just one blow, he was able to slash the opponent's men and horses on the shore in the shortest possible time, although this would make the sword qi in his body more active, but it was not completely unsuppressable.
"Horses, stand still behind the rocks, let me get the man and see if I can get some water!"
The big stone under Lu Yifan's buttocks is tall enough to hide the horse's body completely behind the stone, and there is a circle of lush grass around the stone, the horse was led here by Lu Yifan, lowered his head to graze, and sure enough, he didn't move.
The black horse was strong and strong, and the distance of hundreds of meters was soon closer, and he really ran all the way towards the big stone along the route predicted by Lu Yifan.
Lu Yifan crouched behind the stone, pressing the reins with one hand and pressing the secret sword with the other, just waiting for the man to gallop past him, and with just one sword, he could send him off the horse.
"This, this, this...... Doesn't you think you're a steppe ranger?
The secret sword that was already tightly grasped by Lu Yifan's childish-looking little hands was gently put down again, if the other party was a child, Lu Yifan couldn't kill him because of some clear water that was not sure whether it existed, right?
If the other party was holding a scimitar in his hand, combing his hair with braids on his head, and he was an adult man, dressed as a nomad, Lu Yifan might kill him directly, and he would not have the slightest interest in talking to him at all, but the other party was just a child, and he was still a girl.
Before the galloping black horse crossed the boulder, Lu Yifan put down the reins and secret sword in his hand and slowly stood up, he didn't think that a little girl could pose any threat to him, the other party was obviously smaller than him.
The strange thing is that Lu Yifan did not appear in the sight of the black horse, but the black horse actually stopped slowly, only to see the girl on the horseback instructing the horse to turn around, as if she was about to go back along the same road.
Lu Yifan could make her run away easily? I saw him holding the Wind Yin Secret Sword, turning over and standing on the top of the stone, pointing at the front of the sword, and shouting: "Who is in front, stop for me!"
The little girl didn't notice anyone nearby, so she was so frightened that she pulled the reins, and she was a little relieved when she saw that the other person was not a few years older than herself.
She didn't answer, she didn't seem scared, she didn't hesitate to bend her bow and arrows, and did it in one go, not giving Lu Yifan a chance to continue talking.
The bow looked very elastic, and the feathers were thin and long, and they were easily filled by her.
"Good guy, do it when you meet, are the children of the grassland so reckless?"
Shout~
I saw that two fingers easily clamped the front end of the arrow feather, and I saw that the feather at the tail end trembled slightly, and all the impact force was easily dissolved by Lu Yifan.
The girl didn't see Lu Yifan holding the arrow feather between her fingers, because after she shot an arrow, she didn't hesitate to urge the black horse to prepare to leave here.
It seems that Lu Yifan can't avoid the attack of Jian Yu, but she takes it for granted.
"I'll rub it, who do you look down on?
I saw that the arrow feather turned a few times like a stick between Lu Yifan's fingers, and was easily thrown out by him, it kept spinning in the air, and with a stab, it slapped the little girl's back at once, only to see that she was so frightened that she abandoned the horse and fled, and rolled on the ground several times before stabilizing her little body.
The little girl's hand clutched the bow tightly, and she looked desperately at the black horse and fled into the distance, as an animal, it had no intention of coexisting with its owner, not to mention that the little girl was not the owner who had been feeding it.
"You...... Who are you, and what are you going to do?"
She wanted to make another attack on Lu Yifan, but she didn't make a move for a while, obviously she knew that the first raid was unsuccessful, and now that she was in person, it was obviously even more impossible to hit, not to mention that the arrow feather hit her back just now, which made her feel a hot pain, so she had to hold back her tears.
Lu Yifan glanced at her and no longer looked at him, but instead injected mana into his feet, and chased after the black horse like a ghost.
The black horse didn't run very far, Lu Yifan just used a little force, and then easily jumped onto the back of the black horse, holding the reins in both hands, so that it had to turn around and run back.
As a cultivator and qi practitioner who has successfully entered the Dao, Lu Yifan, like Changxi, has a very good burst and agility, and it is not too easy to catch up with a horse that has not run far.
However, the two of them have never relied on their bodies to hurry, although they can run faster than horses, but they also need to consume physical strength and mana or true qi, under normal circumstances, they can run without relying on their feet, and they definitely do not rely on their feet.
The dark horse was very reluctant for Lu Yifan to sit on its back, but Lu Yifan, as a master of horse abuse, no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't throw Lu Yifan away, and after a few fruitless attempts, he was naturally honest.
"Are you from the grassland tribe?" Lu Yifan condescendingly rode the other party's black horse, looking down at the petite girl on the ground.
The little girl was so anxious that she was about to cry, but when Lu Yifan asked, her expression became very stubborn, and she said hatefully: "I am the princess of the Golden Clan, you can't kill me, there are several innate masters in my clan! ”
"I didn't say I was going to kill you......"
Lu Yifan looked her up and down, there was no spicy-eyed fur clothes with the logo of the grassland tribe, but she was wearing a casual dress, although it was ordinary, but the material was very particular, anyway, she was not a child of a poor family, and she did not have the wildness of the grassland people.
Her clothes were stained with mud, and there was a little bloodstain, both old and new, she didn't look like a princess, and she was easily defeated by Lu Yifan.
When Lu Yifan revealed that she did not belong to the Golden Clan, she was obviously a little flustered, and her arrogant momentum was as deflated as a leaky pig urine bubble.
