Chapter 683: Demon Hunter
After many Jianghu characters had eaten and drunk enough, they walked towards the border in twos and threes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Tianqi and the other three also followed behind these people after preparing water bladders and dry food.
Autumn is supposed to be a cool and dry season, but the power of autumn tigers here is quite uncomfortable. The sun was scorching and the ground was unusually hot.
The words of "a reward of 100 taels of silver for catching a monster" continue to echo in the ears of those who claim to be masters of monster hunting, making them fearless.
Li Tianqi and the others were all dressed as ordinary people, and they didn't attract too much attention from others, and others just thought that they were also people in the rivers and lakes who participated in the demon hunt.
In some shady places under the dunes, some insect predators were hiding from the soil dragon, which had to stick out its tongue and lick its eyes because of the heat.
In such a hot and dry place, there is not a trace of wind at the moment.
Everyone walked forward for more than an hour, all of them were already sweating, and the straw hats and hats they were wearing were all scorched.
Along the way, this spontaneous team did not encounter any monsters, and the journey went smoothly.
As the sun set in the west, a large oasis appeared before them, and the people who walked in front of them shouted for joy, and they took advantage of the favorable resting terrain and set up improvised tents.
The oasis has a small pool, which is made up of trickles of water from many places, and the bottom is clearly visible.
Many people gather around the pool, or drink, or water and wash, all of which are comfortable.
After walking for a long time under the scorching sun, Li Tianqi and the others naturally felt tired, so they also found a place with a few small trees to shade and sit down to rest.
"Come on!" Suddenly, a thin, gray-robed man hurried over and shouted at his companions.
"What's wrong?" One stood up.
The gray-robed man glanced at Li Tianqi and the others who were resting on the side, and then lowered his voice and said, "I found that an entrance has appeared under the sand dunes, like an ancient deserted city. ”
He seemed to have underestimated the hearing of Li Tianqi and the others, not to mention that Li Tianqi had been in his body for decades at this time, and his ear power was extremely sensitive, although he deliberately lowered his voice, he was still clearly heard in his ears.
"What? Is there such a good thing? Is that a lot of gold and silver in it? Another man stood up from the ground.
"Shhhhh If we don't have jewels, it's never too late for us to come back and hunt demons! ”
"Okay, that's it." His accomplices chimed in.
Li Tianqi's heart moved, is there still the city of Loulan Kingdom here? However, he knew the purpose of his trip, so he had no intention of following, but when Mu Yanyuan heard the gold and silver treasures, his eyes lit up, and he signaled Li Tianqi if he wanted to follow.
Li Tianqi shook his head.
Mu Yanyuan was a little disappointed, but in the end he didn't mention it again, but he still glanced at the other party quietly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"You people who see money and have an eye for it, hmph, all of you are overwhelmed, and you actually think that the monsters in the demon world are so easy to provoke?" A hobbled old man on crutches came out of nowhere.
The gray-robed man glanced at him and said loudly, "What is an old man who doesn't know what is going on?" Go and go. ”
The old man didn't care, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Tianqi and the others, and walked towards them in a trembling manner.
Mu Yanyuan saw that he was ragged and sweaty, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, we are not people who see money, old man, you don't need to say more." ”
The old man snorted lightly and said to him: "Boy, looking at the three of you who are righteous and awe-inspiring, how can you be mixed with these three crappy and lame goods?" Let's get out of here. ”
"Hey-" The gray-robed man finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Friends, this old man actually said that except for these three boys, we are all inferior goods!" ”
This shouting was unbearable, and hundreds of heroes from all walks of life gathered around. They are all good people, and naturally they don't want to miss the show.
"What?"
"Who is so bold?"
"Speak wildly!"
When these men gathered around and saw that it was just an old man and three young men, they couldn't help laughing, and soon they started talking.
Although the old man saw so many people, he didn't panic, his face didn't change, and he said with a cane: "Hmph, you guys are going to suppress demons with such fanfare, do you think it's a play?" It's better to hurry up and leave, and run for your life. ”
A tall, unusually burly man clenched his fists, shook it in front of the old man, and said sharply: "Old man, believe it or not, I will beat you with one punch, and I will talk nonsense and bewitch the people here!" ”
Although the old man looked weak, he had no fear, "The old man persuaded the three of them to leave this place, what are you waiting for?" ”
"You should beat him!"
"Hit!"
"Take him to the heavens, this is the auspicious gift from the heavens!"
At this time, the gray-robed man carefully looked at Li Tianqi and the others again, and then pointed at them and said to everyone: "Everyone, my brothers and I can hear it clearly, this old man said that these three people are magnificent and dignified, and he also said that they should not be in the same league as me!" ”
Eshang stood up from a broken log where he was sitting and said to the gray-robed man, "Friend, we all came together to catch demons. Don't deliberately stir up trouble. ”
"What? Scared? The gray-robed man said, "Since the old man said that you are so capable, why don't you three show it well?" ”
Li Tianqi couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and said: "Everyone, we are just here to hunt demons, unlike some people who are here to hunt for treasures. ”
"You-" The gray-robed man didn't expect his secret to be heard by others, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Mu Yanyuan hurriedly stood up and said, "Everyone, everyone." Disperse, aren't you going to hunt demons tonight? Why be angry about this little thing, this old man doesn't look normal, let him go. Harmony is precious, and harmony is precious. ”
The old man shook his head, and squeezed into the crowd on crutches to leave.
Although those men were five big and three coarse, they were not good at making a move on this powerless old man, and when they saw him coming, they got out of the way.
The gray-robed man took the opportunity to walk to Mu Yanyuan's side, and said in a low voice: "Friend, don't make a noise, since your three brothers already know, then let's come together?" How is it? ”
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the gray-robed man's companion hurriedly said to the people who were still surrounding, "Everyone go back and rest, and you still have to hunt demons." ”
More than 100 people saw that the matter was over, and they dispersed.
Eshang said: "We are not interested in your treasure hunt. Please. ”
Li Tianqi saw that the crisis had been resolved, so he didn't say anything more.
The gray-robed man put his hand on Mu Yanyuan's shoulder, pulled him aside, and muttered.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Where is the old man?" ”
"I don't know? Why is it gone in the blink of an eye? ”
"Strange."
Li Tianqi and E Shang were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but stand on a high place and look into the distance, sure enough, except for the long sand dunes, they couldn't see half a figure, let alone the old man who was hobbling.
"He must be a demon, deliberately disturbing the morale of the army."
"Oh, it's a pity, why didn't you notice it?"
"Careless."
"I just said I was going to kill him. How good it is to worship the heavens. ”
And they began to talk again.
Li Tianqi asked Eshang, "What's the matter?" Could it be that the old man is a demon? ”
Eshang said: "I also noticed that Fang was so close, if he was really transformed by a goblin, then it seems that there is a lot of enemy ahead." ”
Li Tianqi clenched his fists, "No matter how much, since you are here, let's take a look at the situation first, if it is really a monster, if we combine the strength of the three of us, can't we destroy some of them?" It's better to use the blood of these monsters to sacrifice the Lei Yan Toad Mother. ”
Eshan said, "Yes. Since she has affection and righteousness for you, we can't be less courteous. So be it. ”
"Boom-" An arrow burst out through the clouds, apparently from someone who had volunteered to explore the way.
After this period of rest, the heroes on the oasis have already been a little impatient, and at this time the sky is still bright, the sight is good, and because it is getting westerly, the temperature is not as hot as noon, which is suitable for starting to hunt demons.
They each grabbed their weapons and immediately went there, followed by Li Tianqi and the others.
When they reached the place where the arrows were fired, they didn't see anyone, but picked up the remnants of the arrows not far away.
It's also strange to say that after they came here, the temperature around them became exceptionally cool, and there was no trace of autumn tigers at all.
"Look! Demon Mountain! "Someone with a sharp eye spotted a small hill in the middle of the sand dunes hundreds of feet away.
If you hadn't looked closely, you would have thought that the hill was part of a sand dune.
"Everyone's paying attention!"
I don't know who shouted loudly, and everyone began to gear up, ready to do a big job.
"Ahh
The people in the vicinity fled one after another, and suddenly saw a man being dragged into the ground by several withered hands sticking out of the ground.
Before the others could come to their senses, someone was dragged to the ground by strange hands.
Only then did those men come to their senses, and immediately took out their housekeeping skills, flying up and down to clear the strange hands.
Some people were suddenly frightened and wanted to retreat to the oasis, only to find that a sandstorm was already rolling behind them.
"Quick, go to that demon mountain!" Li Tianqi saw that the situation was critical, so he shouted.
At first, the hill was like a small lotus showing its sharp corners on the sand dunes, but as they ran in that direction, the hill sprung upwards like a spring, and in a short time, it appeared in front of everyone like a majestic green mountain.
Seeing this scene, many people have begun to regret that the bowl of rice for the demon hunt is not so delicious.
But at this time, they had no way out, so they had to go hard.
