Chapter Ninety-Seven: Dispersion
In the afternoon of the next day, Leng Manyan and others got up from the bed one after another, and after a while of washing, a group of seven people went down to the first floor to eat something, just to prepare to take advantage of the afternoon when the wind and sand were not very strong, and go out of Yangguan in the west.
The old shopkeeper saw Leng Manyan and the others packing up the carriage outside, he kindly walked out and said to Leng Manyan, "Girl, are you leaving?" ”
"Hmmm! After resting for so long, my spirit is almost gone, it's time to go west out of Yangguan and hurry to the Western Regions. Leng Manyan nodded noncommittally.
The old shopkeeper looked up at the sky and reminded, "Then girl, you should be careful, there may be strong winds and sand tonight, and when you get to the border, you have to find a place to shelter from the sand." ”
"Wind and sand? No way! It's such a good day, how can there be wind and sand, I don't believe it. Leng Manyan also looked up at the sky, and felt that the sky was bright, where would there be any wind and sand? She didn't believe it anymore, and her instinct was that the old shopkeeper was joking with her.
The old shopkeeper smiled with a serious expression, did not answer, but reminded Leng Manyan several times, and after that, the old shopkeeper left with a smile.
After settling the money for food and drink, Leng Manyan and his party of seven people set off when the sun was not so hot in the afternoon.
It is not very far from Yangguan City to the border of Yangguan and the Western Regions, and if you hurry quickly, you can reach it before dark, so along the way, Leng Manyan and the seven people are not in a hurry, they are in a leisurely hurry.
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the slight wind and sand blowing outside, Leng Manyan sighed, "I finally came to the border for a trip, but I didn't expect that I didn't have time to play for a few days, it's really impatient!" ”
"You're still in the mood to play, now let's think about how to go to the Holy Mountain after entering the Western Regions!" Long Xiaofeng glared at Leng Manyan and shouted angrily.
"Bai Xiao, don't you know the way? Can't you just show the way? Leng Manyan threw the conversation at Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao, who was sitting opposite Leng Manyan, patted his chest confidently, "Don't worry! Leave it to me, I have been to the holy mountain once, and I know the road, first cross the Western Regions Pass, then flow the Horse Blood River, and then cross two hills, in front of which is the Holy Mountain of the Western Regions, as long as we go to the holy mountain, we can find the holy land. ”
"Where is the Sanctuary on the Holy Mountain?" Leng Manyan asked.
"Uh...... Well, this one! …… I ......" Bai Xiao was speechless when asked.
Leng Manyan and Long Xiaofeng are both big heads now, I'm afraid that among the seven of them, except for Bai Xiao, who has been to the holy mountain once, no one knows how to go to the holy mountain, let alone find the holy area in the holy mountain.
Seeing the two of them looking like this, Bai Xiao shouted, "What's there to worry about, it's a big deal to get to the Holy Mountain, let's catch someone from the Holy Mountain and ask the way to the Holy Domain?" ”
"At the moment, it seems that this is the only way to do it." Leng Manyan replied impatiently, and had to affirm Bai Xiao's thoughts.
"Hmmm! That's one way to do it. Long Xiaofeng also followed suit.
After making a decision, a group of seven people went straight to the border of Yangguan.
Until dusk in the afternoon, Leng Manyan and the others finally came to the border of Yangguan, and there was a stone tablet erected on the border, which said four big characters from Yangguan in the west.
Without saying a word, the group rode their horses and whips and officially stepped into the territory of the Western Regions.
As the sky gradually darkened, something happened that surprised Leng Manyan and the others.
Not long after they entered the territory of the Western Regions, a strong wind blew in the sky, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky, and swept around Leng Manyan and others, causing Leng Manyan and others to be in a yellowish sand wind, and they couldn't even see the route clearly.
Impatiently, the group had to quickly find the back of a stone depression blocked by a large stone to temporarily shelter from the wind and sand.
Hiding in the carriage, listening to the wind and sand blowing outside, Leng Manyan punched the window and muttered, "Really, I regret not listening to the old shopkeeper, he really wasn't joking with us." ”
"Don't speak, listen, there seems to be some strange noise." As soon as Leng Manyan finished speaking, Long Xiaofeng suddenly stretched out his hand to stop it.
The group immediately became vigilant and listened with pricked up ears.
After listening to it for a while, Leng Manyan really heard a strange sound, "This sound seems to be something, digging the ground, what do you think?" ”
"I don't think so, it's like something shoveling sand."
"No, I feel like some war pet is swimming in the sand."
Long Xiaofeng and Bai Xiao both expressed their guesses.
Everyone thought that the strange sound should have come from the ground, but the wind and sand outside were blowing so violently, how could there be living creatures moving? All of a sudden, everyone thought something was wrong with their ears.
But at this moment, a scene that frightened Leng Manyan happened, only to hear a sharp neighing sound outside, followed by the screams of two handsome horses outside.
"Get out of here, there's an accident." Leng Manyan shouted, and then dodged and got out of the car curtain.
As soon as she got out, she suddenly saw a huge sand-yellow serpent as thick as a pillar above her head, dangling above her head with its bloody mouth wide open.
Leng Manyan was frightened, and shouted to the six people in the carriage, "Come out quickly, it's a war beast, it's amazing, it's still big!" ”
"What? Wild war beasts? Long Xiaofeng exclaimed.
"Bang ......"
While the crowd was still scrambling in the carriage, two more bangs rang out, and then two huge sand-yellow battle colors rushed up from the bottom of the carriage, destroying the two intact carriages in an instant.
Long Xiaofeng and the six people were forced to rush out with the broken carriage.
When a group of people stood firm behind the boulder, they found out in fear that around this boulder, I don't know when, had been surrounded by four or five sand-yellow giant snakes, and they were even more surrounded by these five giant snakes.
The seven people were back to back, slowly leaning in a circle, Leng Manyan was terrified, "It seems that these guys have eaten our horses, Bai Xiao, you are well-informed, what kind of war beasts are they?" ”
"This should be the Sand Snake Snake, this is the most famous war beast in the border of the Western Regions Country, they are known for their untamability and brutality in the Western Regions Country, this kind of war beast cannot become the war pet of the warriors, because of their arrogant and untamed beast nature." Bai Xiao explained to Leng Manyan.
"It turned out to be a gravel snake, it's a pity, why didn't I bring Xiaobai out." Leng Manyan screamed with pity.
Since she has been busy with the mystery of Ji's house, she has been leaving Xiaobai in the Shenduan Mansion, this time she came out, and she forgot to ask Xiaobai to come out with her, otherwise, what is so terrible about a few sand snakes here?
Long Xiaofeng's expression was extremely heavy, because at this time, several people were experiencing a powerful tribulation.
Looking at the wind and sand in the sky, Long Xiao Fengli shouted, "Let's fight!" We can only fight with them, now that it's dark, and the wind and sand are all over the sky, we can't escape, only by fighting hard and subduing these guys, we can have a glimmer of life. ”
"Never! This gravel snake snake skin is as hard as steel, without a divine weapon, it can't hurt them at all, and their fighting spirit is strong, and they live here all the year round, in this kind of windy and sandy situation, we fight hard, and we will definitely not be able to please. Bai Xiao hurriedly stopped Long Xiaofeng.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the five sand and gravel snakes finally ran out of patience, and under the whirring violent wind and sand, the sand and gravel snakes rolled up their thick giant tails and smashed into Leng Manyan and the seven.
The seven people dodged quickly and were separated by the five sand and gravel snakes, Long Xiaofeng, Leng Manyan and Bai Xiao, the three of them, each picked up a sand and gravel snake in a sad way, while Song Shiyu and Yidao and the three of them fought fiercely together with the other two sand and gravel snakes in a two-on-one situation.
A battle between a warrior and a beast began.
Leng Manyan couldn't have imagined that the danger they encountered for the first time when they came to the Western Regions was not a horse bandit or a sand thief, but a violent war beast like a sand snake, compared to an undomesticated war pet, the war beast was more wild and beastly than a beast.
Leng Manyan dodged the attack of the sand and gravel snake as he shouted to the six people, "Expand the battle circle, the battle circle is too small to be used." ”
"Now the wind and sand are too big, if we expand the battle circle, I'm afraid we will break up." Long Xiaofeng shouted not far from Leng Manyan.
"I can't care so much, if it is dispersed, everyone will go in the direction of the holy mountain, let's go to the holy mountain to meet, remember the route, first cross the Western Regions Pass, then flow the horse blood river, and then cross the two hills, in front of which is the Holy Mountain of the Western Regions, everyone remember, don't forget." After shouting this sentence to the six people, Leng Manyan is battle aura suddenly increased under his feet, and a dodge rushed into the wind and sand in the sky, and disappeared.
And the sand snake that was fighting against her, without hesitation, swooped into the sand, chasing in the direction where Leng Manyan had disappeared.
"Damn, it's nonsense, Man'er wait for me." Long Xiaofeng saw that Leng Manyan had disappeared, he scolded loudly, and chased Leng Manyan into the wind and sand.
"Prince, my lord, ......" Song Shiyu and the four of them shouted as they looked at the direction where Long Xiaofeng disappeared, but in the roaring wind, Long Xiaofeng and Leng Manyan disappeared, and they couldn't hear the shouts of the four at all.
Impatiently, the four of them could only turn around and flee, and then disappeared into the violent wind and sand.
In this way, the sand snake took advantage of the wind and sand to exert its might, and was stunned to scatter Leng Manyan and his seven people alive in the wind and sand, and they didn't know where to go.
