Chapter 304: Lost in the Wilderness
As soon as they had settled down, they saw a group of men dressed in black and holding torches in the distance, and a black figure was being chased by this group of people and running desperately forward, running all the way to this side. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The shouting of the gang could be faintly heard, and it seemed that they were determined to succeed in the dark shadow.
After a while, a roaring sound came from the road, and although the sound was shocking, it always made people feel inexplicably frightened.
With this roar, the ground gradually shook, and a huge black shadow rushed forward with a fishy wind, bringing up a burst of sand and stones.
Jianma, who was standing behind Li Tianqi and the others, suddenly neighed in fright and became restless.
Seeing this, the fat head hurriedly said: "If you want to go forward, you have to pay attention, that place is a barren land, and even the caravan is a detour. You can do it yourself, I won't accompany you! ”
"Ahead? What the hell is the place? Li Tianqi asked anxiously.
The fat head didn't seem to want to answer, and was about to perform his light skills and escape, when suddenly he stopped again, "By the way, boy, I almost forgot that a beautiful girl had asked me about your whereabouts, and she had already gone ahead, and she might still be waiting for you." You are not shallow, eating in your mouth, holding it in your hands, and staring at one person in your eyes. See for yourself. He chuckled and turned to leave.
"Who is it?" Li Tianqi asked again.
The fat head had already flown up, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared into the night in the chaos of stones.
Could it be Sister Qing'er? Li Tianqi thought to himself.
"Another girl?" Zhou Ruolin was a little unhappy in her heart, and asked coldly, "Who is she?" I don't think it will be that Murong girl. ”
The black-clothed men numbered about fifteen or sixteen, and when they heard the neighing of horses a few feet away, three men ran out of them, and rode towards the place where they were hiding.
The remaining dozen or so men in black still chased forward towards the huge black shadow.
"What people! Sigh! A scar-faced man waved the torch in his hand and leaned forward, trying to see the appearance of Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin clearly.
"Brother, this girl is so beautiful!" A thin man said beside the scar-faced man, his eyes looking straight at Zhou Ruolin.
The scar-faced man shouted, "You kid still have time to look at other people's appearances, it's important for us to do business." After that, he asked Li Tianqi again: "Who are you?" ”
Li Tianqi clenched his fists and said: "This big brother, we are just past merchants, and we have lost our way here. ”
The scar-faced man said: "Who doesn't know that there are no people in this place, you say that it is a past merchant, since it is a businessman, it must be walking in this area for many years, how can you not know?" ”
Li Tianqi said: "We came here from other places to do business, and we are not familiar with the road. ”
The thin man said: "What nonsense! You say you're here to do business, but your horses don't carry any goods at all. ”
Li Tianqi said: "We just came here to see how the business opportunities are, and then we will make plans when we go back." ”
The scar-faced man pondered for a while, heard the sound of hooves in front of him gradually thinned, knew that his teammates had chased him away, and said, "I thought you were Tufan dogs, since it's not you, let's leave quickly." Walk all the way we came, and we will arrive at Yizhou City. He pointed back.
Li Tianqi hugged his fists in thanks and asked, "I don't know what Fang Cai has passed?" It scared our mounts into screaming. ”
The thin man said coldly: "Of course it's a good thing, but you merchants should hurry back to the city, this outdoor danger is not something ordinary people can bear." ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" The scar-faced man said, "Let's go!" Drive! "Drive the horse to the way forward.
The thin man and the other man followed Yang and spurred their horses to follow.
The three of them soon disappeared into the night.
Zhou Ruolin said: "Let's get on the horse too." ”
Li Tianqi asked, "Are you going too?" ”
Zhou Ruolin said: "Of course, that fast black shadow is a monster, I don't know why they want to capture it." ”
"You see?" Li Tianqi asked.
"I don't see it. It's supposed to be a monster though. Zhou Ruolin said, "I just happen to be able to see which girl is waiting for you in front of you." ”
Li Tianqi shook his head, got on the mount with her, and spurred his horse to chase after the gang.
The road is not straight, but tortuous, although this is the vast Gobi, but the hills are also common, gradually it is around into the deep valley, the deep valley in the moonlight is thinner, the two can't help but control the speed, slowly moving forward.
"They chased after them so fast that they disappeared in the blink of an eye." Li Tianqi said.
Zhou Ruolin listened intently for a while, then looked at the cliffs standing around, and said: "This is a canyon, unless they run to the end according to a straight road, it stands to reason that we should be able to hear the sound of their horses, but it is very quiet here, which makes me feel strange." ”
Li Tianqi thought for a while and said: "When you say this, it is true, you see that there is not even the sound of some beasts around. ”
"Hmm. Actually, I just feel this way. The more I ran here, the more uneasy I became. Zhou Ruolin said.
"I know why." Li Tianqi jumped off the horse, bent down and reached out to pick up the sand, "Look! The sand here is three inches thick, like a blanket spread here, and naturally it is silent. It's no wonder that the horses run so cautiously and carefully. ”
Zhou Ruolin saw the sand held by Li Tianqi in the moonlight, and said, "I didn't expect there to be such thick sand in this area. So how do we find them? ”
There are a lot of mountains here, and they are all covering the sky, and there are many roads leading to different directions, and if you go to the fork, it is not easy to find the group.
However, even if they couldn't find that group, they would need to go forward, and getting to the southwest camp was the only way to go.
If calculated according to the mileage, they are very close to the southwest camp this time.
Zhou Ruolin took out the stone, and after casting the spell, it emitted a light to shine on the place in front of him, "Although there is a lot of sand and gravel, which hides the sound of horse stepping, it still leaves traces." ”
Under the light of the stones, a messy horse's hoof print appeared in the sand and turned to the right.
The two of them followed the horseshoe prints all the way to the bottom of the open valley, where the wind and sand blew everywhere, and all the horseshoe prints were wiped away by the fierce wind that was scurrying everywhere.
"Look!" A large piece of gravel on the ground, following the gravel to look at the mountain rock, at a height of about two zhang, Li Tianqi found that the huge rock had been knocked down, and there were still two broken feather arrow arrows left on it, and he muttered: "What does that giant beast look like?" It would have knocked such a high rock down. ”
Zhou Ruolin pondered for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the blue-faced fanged beast." ”
Li Tianqi's heart moved: "You mean the blue-faced fanged beast?" The kind of monster that is tall and clad in armor? ”
Zhou Ruolin nodded and said, "Yes, this group of people is chasing this kind of monster relentlessly, it must be for the sake of the human fruit on it." ”
Li Tianqi had heard Lu Linlang introduce this kind of monster, but he didn't expect to encounter it again here.
"Then let's chase after it!" Li Tianqi said as he rode his horse to chase after him.
After chasing forward for a while, I heard a faint cry from ahead. Both of them were glad in their hearts, and the two mounts seemed to know that the destination was ahead, so they also stepped up.
Zhou Ruolin rushed forward, but at this time, those voices had disappeared, and the light was shining, but she saw that her hands were exposed on the sand, and they were slowly falling with the sand collapsing, what was going on?
Just when she was thinking, her mount also suddenly sank down, the two front hooves were deep in the sand, she reacted quite quickly, took out the stirrups when she landed, her feet were lightly on the saddle, a backward jump, and the volley fell behind Li Tianqi, before he could react, she had wrapped her hands around him, held his hand holding the reins, and pulled sharply, Li Tianqi's mount stopped and stopped.
"Quicksand!" Zhou Ruolin gasped slightly, which showed how critical the situation was.
In a moment, all hooves of her mount had sunk into the sand, and it neighed helplessly.
Li Tianqi couldn't bear to watch the horse fall, and suddenly said, "Hurry up and find a way to see if you can rescue it." ”
"There's no rope here, how can you pull it out?" Although Zhou Ruolin was also a little unbearable, she had nothing to do.
Li Tianqi flashed and said, "Use your magic weapon!" ”
Zhou Ruolin was reminded by him, and immediately showed his magic weapon, received the fallen healthy horse into the umbrella, and cast a spell and put it in a safer place behind him.
Zhou Ruolin said: "I didn't expect it. It's a pity that it's too late to save these people. ”
The two jumped off their horses and looked at the sand in front of them, which was about ten zhang long and several zhang wide, and they were full of emotion for a while.
Li Tianqi said: "How could this southwest camp choose such a place? It is very inconvenient for them to come and go! ”
Zhou Ruolin said: "Maybe they just want to get this effect, and it is effortless to destroy the enemy." ”
"Well, that makes sense." Li Tianqi looked around, and there was no other way to pass here except to continue walking. But if you keep going, you will inevitably step into quicksand.
He thought for a moment and suddenly exclaimed, "This can't be a lost city, right?" ”
"You mean it's an ecstasy?" Zhou Ruolin lifted her hair and wiped her sweat.
Li Tianqi said: "Yes, I feel this way now, otherwise how could there be such a thick sand and gravel in this area, it must be artificially arranged, just to prevent people from passing through at will." ”
Zhou Ruolin said: "If this is indeed the case, it will be troublesome." ”
Two strong winds from the side collided with each other, and several small tornadoes were formed on the sand surface, and the wind and sand rose again for a while, which blinded the eyes of the two people, and when the wind and sand stopped, the traces left above the sand surface had been smoothed out, and no one could see that someone had fallen here......
