Chapter 154: Sand Ghosts
Considering that it was still possible for Purgatory to set up an ambush in front, Luo Longyang and the others decided to abandon the original route and detour to the Hongsha Plain in the south.
The red clay spreads out, like a large quilt spread out, gently covering everyone's feet, stepping up, there is a loose and soft feeling.
"This is the Red Sand Plain, and it will take hundreds of miles straight ahead from here before a market town will appear."
Luo Long said, "It's getting late now, and it looks like we're going to camp out on this red clay." Liao Guang on the side laughed loudly: "So what, the red clay is the feast, the heaven and the earth are the quilt, if you can talk about the wine here for one night, it will also be a pleasure." ”
Seeing that Liao Guang was so hearty and heroic, he and Luo Longyang both smiled.
Lin Qi said with a flat mouth on the side: "I'm not good, it's cold and wet here, maybe there are insects, I can't sleep well at night." ”
Liao Guang choked for a moment and glared: "You girl, why are you so disappointed?" Where is the owner of Lu Zhuang, quickly bring your little girl back. ”
"I'm not leaving, where Sister Bing is, I'll be there, Sister Bing." Lin Qi stood firmly beside Duanmu Bing and raised her chin at Liao Guang. Lin Qi has long regarded Duanmu Bing as her idol in her heart, and she has been sticking to her all the way. And Duanmu Bing also seems to be cute about this pretty and cute
The little girl had a good impression, unexpectedly did not give a cold face, and occasionally said a few words to her, which made the little girl so happy, and soon Sister Bing and Sister Bing screamed affectionately, but forgot about this real life-saving benefactor. Ye Zitong was a little puzzled, this Duanmu Bing and Yao Zixuan were like.
"Lin Qi, how can you be so rude to Deputy Master Liao. Don't apologize yet. Lu Yueniang asked on the side.
"Humph!" Lynkey turned her head to the side, her eyes facing the sky.
"Hey, this girl is spoiled by Master, and she usually doesn't even pay attention to us, Master Liao. It's rude. Lu Yueniang had no choice but to apologize to Liao Guang.
"That's it!" Liao Guang deliberately shook his hand with a cold face, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"How could Mr. Liao be angry with Sister Linqi, Sister Linqi is so cute, Mr. Liao is just playing around with her, right? Sister Lynki. He Ruofei hurriedly curry favor with the beautiful woman on the side, and looked at her with straight eyes.
Lin Qi didn't even look at him, her eyes drew a circle in the air, and landed on a small animal that had been scared away in the red soil in the distance. He Ruofei was embarrassed for a while, and his face was much uglier.
"If not. You and your two senior brothers go to the front to explore the way and see if there is any situation! Luo Longyang coughed lightly and relieved his disciple, but he secretly scolded this son in his heart.
At the end, I didn't feel at ease and added: "Go and come back quickly, if you don't find anything, come back as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!" He Ruofei hurriedly agreed, and followed the two senior brothers forward.
At this time, it was almost dusk, the sky was gradually darkening, and everyone walked for a while. Suddenly, I heard a call from ahead. Everyone raised their eyes, but saw He Ruofei striding towards with the two senior brothers, carrying a gray object in their hands.
"Master!" He Ruofei shouted with some excitement: "We caught a sand ghost." ”
Why don't you walk quickly in front of everyone. He threw the object in his hand on the ground, and the thing snorted, and slowly rose up on the ground, and it was a dwarf with an ugly appearance and covered in dust.
He Ruofei's face was full of smugness, "We haven't gone far." I saw something running in the distance, and I took a closer look. It turned out to be a sand ghost, so he was captured. ”
The dwarf was on his feet. He was very short, about two feet, about the same as a normal human six-year-old. This dwarf has a large head and narrow shoulders, and his facial features are similar to those of a human, but his forehead is wide, his eyebrows and eyes are narrow, the skin on his face is full of folds, and his lips are fat and thick, which do not match his face, and he looks very ugly.
The dwarf's face was bruised, the corners of his mouth were bloodstained, and his filthy body trembled slightly, apparently having been beaten.
He Ruofei snorted: "This guy is a little dishonest, he dared to bite me and beat me hard." ”
The people looked at the dwarf, and saw that although he was unbearable, with a hidden pain between his eyebrows, his expression was tenacious, and there was a trace of hatred and hostility in his small gray eyes, and it was obvious that the abuse and beating of the right people had not made him give in.
Luo Longyang was surprised, and sighed lightly: "There are actually sand ghosts here?" ”
"Yes, Master!" He Ruofei was excited: "I didn't expect to find a sand ghost here, let's ask him to lead the way, maybe we can find the purple demon!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was suddenly moved, and even Liao Guang and the others had an expression of intention on their faces.
Seeing this, he felt slightly strange, but saw Luo Longyang hesitating: "This ...... We have just been attacked, and it is not appropriate to have any more twists and turns on the way. ”
"Master, I heard that the purple demon is extremely difficult to see, and it is rare to see them in Xiao Guoguo, so it is better for us to look around, maybe we can find them
One! He Ruofei was inexplicably excited, and his face was eager to try.
"Yes, I've only heard of the purple demon's reputation, but I've never seen it once." Liao Guang on the side also said: "Hehe, if I have a chance, I would like to see it." As soon as Liao Guang said this, many people's eyes lit up, and the charm of the purple demon actually offset their fear of being attacked before.
Seeing that everyone suddenly became energetic, he was not surprised, but Linqi on the side tilted her head, and her big eyes were full of curiosity.
He Ruofei heard that someone agreed, and his expression was overjoyed: "What Senior Liao said is true." Master, if you can catch one and bring it back, the old man will be very happy. ”
Luo Longyang hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's go and take a look, if there is anything wrong, return immediately." Luo Longyang calculated in his heart, this time he went out and was attacked, most of the disciples he brought were killed and injured, although the enemy was too strong, he still had the responsibility to escape, that purple demon is a rare thing, if he can catch one, maybe he can atone for his sins.
"Senior sister, what is a purple demon?" Lin Qi was curious, and finally couldn't help but ask Lu Yueniang questions.
Lu Chaoniang patted her little head, smiled lightly, and said to her gently.
The red sand plain under the feet of everyone is thousands of miles wide. It has been extending to the south of Xiao State. At the end of that red earth, there is a vast and mysterious area known as the Black Forest. The thousands of miles of red plains in front of him are the places where Xiao Guo borders on it.
The Black Forest is deep and secluded, with dense jungles, and is home to many unknown and exotic animals. But the real attraction is the purple demon that lives there. Purple goblins, also known as pink goblins, have pointy ears and purple eyes that are their most striking feature. These purple demons are extremely beautiful, similar in appearance to human women, but the skin on their bodies is a faint pink. Therefore, it is known as the pink goblin. These purple demons are withdrawn and do not want to deal with other creatures, but they are willing to get along with sand ghosts. Wherever a sand ghost colony, you will find the figure of the purple demon.
Sand ghosts, also known as the Sand Clan, are a large number of ethnic groups. Because he lives in the red sand plain all year round, he is called the sand ghost by the people of Xiao Guo. Although the sand ghost is ugly and unbearable, he has a gentle temperament and loves beautiful things. The Purple Demon lives among them, and is protected as a saint in the clan, which is more important than his own life.
Due to the natural charm of the purple demon, it has amazing beauty. Coupled with the weakness of the body, there is no special ability to protect himself, so he has become the object of coveted by many humans. The Red Sand Plain is located in the middle of nowhere. There have always been few human tracks, but this is a place where the Tu people live, and it is inevitable that the figure of the purple demon will appear. Since the Purple Demon was discovered, it has become a place frequented by bandits, thieves, and human traffickers, just to rob a Purple Demon back.
It is necessary to know that the purple demon is not only well-balanced and beautiful, but also has pink and charming skin. It is very popular with the wealthy of the upper class. They have strange physiologies, and all of them are women. The source of life is unknown, and all the high-ranking officials and gentry with great prestige are prominent. They all want to raise one as a private pet. For a while, the wind of plundering the purple demon has become popular, and the value of the purple demon has also doubled, reaching more than a thousand gold. For ordinary people, this amount of gold is simply an astonishing amount of money, at that time the common currency of the mainland was gold, silver and copper, one gold for twenty silver, and one silver for nearly 100 copper. If the average middle-class family has a surplus income,
It is only two silver per month, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to see one gold in the year. Therefore, the amount of this thousand gold is really terrifying, and it is no wonder that everyone is crazy when they see the wealth. Affected by this captivity, the sand tribe was also robbed, and the robbers did not hesitate to kill in order to find the purple demon, often in order to find the traces of the purple demon, they slaughtered the entire sand ghost clan. They regarded the sand ghosts as alien races and did not care about their lives at all, causing the number of the sand to drop by half in three years. Sand ghosts are gentle by nature, where can they fight like wolves and tigers human robbers, and finally have to move their clan, leaving the homeland where they have thrived for generations, and quietly sneaking into the deep and vast Black Forest.
Since then, there has been no trace of the Tu tribe in the Hongsha Plain, and the purple demon has not been seen for decades, so this purple demon is mostly known to older people, and a little girl like Lin Qi naturally doesn't know it. Even if it is He Ruofei, it is also from the mouth of the uncle.
The purple demon disappeared into the Black Forest with the Sand Clan, and although the greedy humans were unwilling, they did not dare to venture into this mysterious area. The weirdness and gloom there were only more terrifying than the flood beasts, and even the regular army of the Xiao State did not dare to trespass into it. There have been many human organizations involved in death adventures before, but they have never seen any of them return unharmed.
As this wind of plunder gradually extinguished, the figure of the purple demon gradually disappeared in the upper class of the Xiao country, and it has rarely been seen in recent years.
"Hey, damn sandghosts, take us to your camp or we'll kill you!" He Ruofei turned his head and shouted loudly at the sand ghost. When the sand ghost heard He Ruofei's threat, instead of being afraid, he glared at him, his eyes full of hostility.
Seeing that the sand ghost didn't answer, he couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, and waved the scabbard in his hand and hit the dwarf a few times.
"Master, doesn't he understand me?" He Ruofei saw that the sand ghost gritted his teeth a few times, but there was still no response, and he couldn't help but wonder.
Luo Longyang shook his head, took a step forward, and said to the sand ghost: "I know you understand me, take us to your camp, we just want to find the purple demon and promise not to harm your people." ”
The sand ghost straightened up with difficulty, glanced at Luo Longyang, and shook his head dumbly.
"Hmph, I think you don't want to live anymore, I'll kill you if you don't lead the way." He Ruofei sneered on the side, and drew his long sword with a swipe.
"Fei'er, don't be reckless!" Luo Longyang shouted on the side.
He Ruofei withdrew his long sword when he heard this, and glared at the sand ghost fiercely.
"You despicable Xiao people, do you think I will still believe you?" The sand ghost wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly spoke. Although the voice was dull and hoarse, it was standard Xiao Chinese.
"Hey, I'm really not a dumb person, I almost got you covered." He Ruofei was taken aback at first, and Ji'er became angry.
"Are there still fewer sand ghosts who died in your hands, I will never point the danger of death at my tribe, you can kill me!" The sand ghost straightened his back a little stiff, and there was no fear on his face. (To be continued)
