Chapter 100: The Black Sand Deadland
"I don't have a name. He was whipped by Zhang Xingchen and rubbed his shoulders, but a smile appeared on his face towards Shi Ren, grinning, revealing the dark and brown teeth inside, and he was also missing two front teeth.
"Tell me honestly, you've really been to Lizhang City?"
The guide didn't answer, but restrained his smile, not daring to look Shi Ren in the eye.
Shi Ren stood up, very displeased, "This is a fatal job." ”
After speaking, Shi Ren got into the water bladder from his waist and threw it to the old guide, and then turned around to find Zhang Xingchen.
"General. The guide stood up with the water bladder in his arms, pointed to his unkempt head and shouted: "I have really been to Lizhang City, I was born in Lizhang City, I remember very well, this city is imprinted in my head. ”
"Good. ”
The so-called encampment of Shi Ren's troops was actually seven or eight people in a circle in the yellow sand, chatting, and facing each other in the storm.
Zhang Xingchen handed Shi Ren a water bladder and said quietly: "Hey, I secretly got it in Weihai City, do you want to try it?"
Seeing Zhang Xingchen's mysterious appearance, Shi Ren couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What?"
"Wine. Zhang Xingchen squeezed his eyebrows at Shi Ren, and the meaning was self-evident.
"You're so bold. Shi Ren said softly, "Dare to fill your water bladder with wine, it's really deadly?"
"Almost, almost. Zhang Xingchen said with a smile, "This thing is more thirst-quenching than water, take a sip." ”
Shi Ren smiled and raised Zhang Xingchen's water bladder, raised his head and was about to drink, but suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xingchen was confused, "Isn't it delicious?"
"No......" Shi Ren immediately stood up, "What's the ...... over there?"
Zhang Xingchen looked along Shi Ren's line of sight, under the foggy yellow sand, between the sky, a thin black line could be faintly seen.
Shi Ren was vigilant, he still remembered Zhang Delong's instructions. The black undead legion, don't fight hard if you encounter it.
"Alert, everybody get on your horse. Shi Ren immediately shouted.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xingchen was puzzled and hurriedly asked.
"Get on the horse. Shi Ren repeated sharply.
When Zhang Xingchen saw Shi Ren's appearance, he didn't dare to hesitate, and shouted to urge him to get on the horse. For a moment the knights were in disarray, but soon they put their helmets back on, mounted their horses, and prepared to go.
Everyone waited for Shi Ren to give orders.
However, Shi Ren was still frowning and staring at the faint black line in the sky.
"Uh-" Zhang Xingchen didn't know what to say when he saw Shi Ren's serious expression.
Shi Ren also seemed to feel that it was a false alarm, after all, he really couldn't see clearly, and if the opposite side was the so-called Chen Chen's undead army, it should have rushed up at this time, and it was impossible for him to remain unmoved.
Is it also camping?
Shi Ren decided to take a look, "Zhang Xingchen, you find a few knights and come with me to have a look." ”
"My lord, did you find something?" Zhang Xingchen asked curiously.
"Hopefully what just dazzled me. Shi Ren kicked his horse in the belly, and the horse galloped away.
Zhang Xingchen selected a few knights, and then glanced at this guide again, he thought that Shi Ren had seen Lizhang City, so he thought that this guide would be useful, so he picked it up on his war horse and followed.
Soon, Shi Ren, Zhang Xingchen, the old guide, and the three knights saw clearly what the black patch in front of them was. It is not the so-called Chen Chen's immortal army, but a black swamp. And this space, without any sand and dust, seems to be a pure land.
Shi Ren rode to the side of the swamp, and the black muddy water was steaming white. Outside, the sky is full of yellow sand. It's incredible, whether it's the bizarre ecology of such a swamp in the desert, or the landscape where yellow sand doesn't invade the area.
"Ah, it turns out that it's not Lizhang City. Zhang Xingchen was a little distressed, and as he spoke, Zhang Xingchen threw the guide to the ground.
And the old guide, the old man, rolled around on the ground and almost fell into the swamp. And when he saw the black swamp dirt clearly, his face changed dramatically, and he was terrified, and he waved his limbs on the ground wildly, trying to escape from the swamp, and cried out in horror: "It's over, this is the Black Sand Dead Land, the Black Sand Dead Land." ”
"What?" Shi Ren had just asked, when there was a bang in the middle of the swamp, and two sharp black thorns appeared from the swamp.
One of the curved spikes mixed with black dirt stabbed at a knight. The knight had no time to react, and as soon as he instinctively drew his long sword, he was pierced by the lightning-fast and extremely sharp spikes, and even men and horses were impaled, and then they were dragged into the black swamp.
The other attacked Shi Ren in front, Shi Ren did not swing his sword to block, but turned over and jumped on the horse, and the sharp stab directly stabbed Shi Ren's war horse to death on the spot, and also dragged him into the swamp.
"Damn it. Seeing this, Zhang Xingchen was furious and tried to stop it.
At this time, another curved spike stretched out from the swamp and stabbed at Zhang Xingchen. Zhang Xingchen's long sword sparked with it, and then Zhang Xingchen was knocked out of the air. But Zhang Xingchen survived, and his horse was stabbed to death.
The spike pierced into the ground next to it, scratching a deep scratch on it, leaving a shocking trail of blood.
"Withdraw. Shi Ren also drew his sword and fought and retreated.
However, this attacking presence does not seem to intend to let them go easily. With the sound of muddy water squeezing, a large black shadow emerged.
What attacked Shi Ren and the others before was not a spike at all, but its claws. Eight sharp claws, supporting a huge body, a bloody mouth with dense teeth, and in its mouth, you can still vaguely see the corpse of the knight who has been devoured into minced meat. Probably because the knight was wearing armor, and everything was still chewing in his mouth, and he hadn't had time to swallow yet.
Shi Ren hadn't actually ordered a retreat yet, and the old guide was already screaming and running away with his life. However, he was quickly bounced back. Fell a dog gnawed mud.
Under the impact of this guide, a layer of ripples formed on the periphery of this area, and it was probably this kind of imprisonment that prevented the invasion of external wind and sand.
"It's over, it's over, we can't get out, we're dead. The old guide cried out in mourning.
"What is this. Zhang Xingchen stared in surprise at the outer layer of something similar to a magic shield.
And this huge monster didn't care whether his prey was surprised or not, and jumped up, and the two pointed feet in front of him stabbed at him, but the remaining two knights were not stupid and waited for death, turned over and dodged, and drew their long swords one after another.
"Assist me. Zhang Xingchen shouted, then also drew his long sword, and then rushed towards the monster, and the two knights behind him approached Zhang Xingchen to block the attacks around him. At the same time, the battle momentum was released, and Zhang Xingchen provided blessings.
