1755 Days of Endless Path

When the autumn frost was almost unbearable, I finally found the trace of the oasis!

Ahead is a small town, with rows of wooden walls enclosing the oasis in the center. These walls are littered with scratches of animal claws, and those who look at them are shocked. But Qiushuang is now so excited, seeing the oasis means that the two of them can survive.

Qiushuang pulled Li Fan and almost moved to the door of the town.

"Please, please...... Save us ......"

Qiu Shuang's voice was already hoarse, both of her hands were bitten, and the strips of cloth she were wrapped around were stained with blood. She knocked desperately on the door, her voice hoarse, and she shouted again and again.

After a long time, two rickety figures emerged from the city wall.

"Where did it come from?"

"White City. ”

Qiushuang is very smart, so she won't say that she is from the imperial capital. When you arrive in this place, the more noble your status is, the more you will be discriminated against.

"Now it's all the people who have been expelled, please take us both in. ”

"Tribute. ”

The two men on the city wall had no emotion at all, and threw out two words very mechanically.

Qiushuang stretched out her hand and took off a necklace on her jade neck.

There is a jade pendant hanging from the necklace, which is a good piece of jade, the only relic left to her by Qiushuang's mother a long time ago. But now, for Li Fan's sake, she must hand this over.

The eldest prince and the second prince also deliberately did not confiscate this thing, and the wishes of the two of them were to leave such a way for their imperial sister to live.

The two of them wanted to kill only the empress, not their own royal sister. Now that the empress has abdicated, there is no need for fratricide.

"Yes, it's a good jade, worth a few fairy crystals. ”

The defenders of the city fished the jade pendant with a rope, and then put it in a scale to judge it.

Qiu Shuang didn't speak, this piece of jade was worth at least tens of thousands of immortal crystals. But at this point, these are naturally worthless. Survival is the only value.

"Come in. ”

The city gate was finally slowly hoisted, and a small oasis also opened its arms to the autumn frost.

It is indeed a small oasis, and this so-called town is just a small tribe of tents. The tent is built around a pool with an area of about 30 square meters, and there are not many inhabitants here, but there are only more than 100 people.

Qiushuang and Li Fan are the new residents of the area, and they are responsible for mining a special kind of silver ore near the oasis. This silver ore can be used to make seals, weapons, armor with spatial properties.

The same is true of this tribe, which is next to a small silver mine. If the inhabitants of the tribe want to survive, they have to constantly go to the silver mines and mine them. And every week, the inhabitants of each oasis must pay one hundred kilograms of silver ore to the mayor of the oasis. And every month, an army would come here and collect the silver mines from the mayor.

This is the only value of the existence of the Savage Lands.

Since Qiushuang has become a member of the town, she has naturally been assigned a small tent as her living space. And because Li Fan lost his ability to act, Qiushuang had to pay at least 200 kilograms of silver ore every week, so that both of them had the right to survive in the oasis.

Everyone is an expelled person, and everyone is almost non-communicative with each other, and they are very cold to each other. Autumn Frost goes out with the townspeople every day to the silver mines to mine. After a few days, Qiu Shuang's skin became a little darker, and the whole person was a little vicissitudes, and it was almost impossible to see that she was the empress.

"Come, husband, drink water. ”

Qiu Shuang used the fairy crystals in exchange to buy some water and food. The food here is very monotonous, with only some kind of fruit from plants near the water source. It's not tasty, but at least it's life-sustaining.

During this period of time, Li Fan still didn't say a word. He lay there every day, like a dead man. But Qiushuang took good care of Li Fan, scrubbed his body every day, and often took back some dark black stones for Li Fan to treat.

These stones are called the Dark Mother, and they are only produced in the Wild Lands, and it is said that they are the stones condensed from the secretions of a bug in the Wild Lands. This stone has no other effect, but it can weakly replenish immortal power. Qiu Shuang herself had already taken away her Dharma Body, and these stones were meaningless to her. But for Li Fan, there should be some effect.

The Dark Mother or the Fourth Prince had privately told Qiushuang about it, and apart from the two of them, the other royal families, and even the Council of Elders, didn't know about the existence of such a thing.

Qiushuang thought to herself, after having these dark mothers, her husband's body would slowly recover.

A month later, Qiu Shuang, as usual, got up early in the morning, first fed Li Fan water and food, and then put on his own tools, followed the large army, and went out from the town to the silver mine not far to the west.

According to some old people, in this part of the wilderness, once the wind and sand blow, you must be very careful. Perhaps the terrifying sandworm is hiding inside.

Sandworms are insects unique to the Wild Lands, these insects are three or four meters long and like to eat people. The expelled people were powerless sinners, and they had no way to fight the sandworms. So, from time to time, there will be unlucky ghosts buried in the belly of sandworms. Fortunately, sandworms only haunt at night. But I don't know why, in Qiushuang's heart, there is always a faint feeling that is not good.

A fishy smell wafted into Qiushuang's nose, and then, a scream came from the side!

As soon as Qiushuang turned around, he saw a sandworm more than three meters long, silently burrowing out of the sand, and then waving his claws, tearing a companion who was beside him in half in the wind and sand, and then swallowing it into his stomach. The smell of insects on its body was so strong that Autumn Frost wanted to vomit it in disgust.

Death is all around you.

Sandworms rage, hunting down those fleeing in panic.

Qiushuang is also running, she can't die, if she dies, her husband will be left alone!

Stay alive!

Qiushuang said to herself, you must live!

But in the next second, the terrifying sandworm had already pounced in front of him.

Husband......

"Poof!"

The sandworm's head suddenly flew high, and a figure wrapped in a black cloak, carrying a machete, was standing in front of him.

"Third princess, are you alright?"

A familiar voice sounded in Qiushuang's ears.

"Steward Wang?"

The somewhat elderly man in front of him was the old butler who had been with his father for many years. When my father abdicated, I heard that he was also missing, how could he appear here?
