Chapter 676: Desert Caravan, Source of Life
In the vast desert, the heat wave rolled in, sweeping the wild sand, making the sky hazy and invisible.
The sound of camel bells and a camel caravan winded and undulated, like an earthy yellow dragon, slowly swimming in the desert, kicking up a cloud of sand and dust. Faintly, you can see the goods hanging on the backs of the camels. On the backs of a few of the camels, figures rise and fall slightly as the camels move forward.
Looking at the outfits of those people, they are basically Hu people, all of them with light gauze covering their heads. In addition to the Hu warriors who wore scimitars at their waists, there were also a few Hu beauties who wore light veils and exposed their soft waists and arms.
"Hawley, how long will it take to get out of the desert?" A pleasant voice with a hint of hoarse charm sounded, and it was a blonde beauty riding a camel with a waist like a snake writhing with the footsteps of a camel, half-covering her cheeks, revealing a pair of beautiful sapphire eyes.
Behind him, there were two Huren women who also rode camels, covered with light veils, and wore scimitars at their waists.
Hearing the voice of the blonde and blue-eyed bearded beauty, the big-nosed bearded knight who was originally a few meters behind and riding a camel couldn't help but hurriedly urge the camel to step forward and stroke his chest with one hand and salute: "Your Royal Highness the Princess!" It's not far away, and we're probably less than half a day's way away, and we'll be able to get out of the desert before dark. ”
"That's good!" The blonde and blue-eyed beauty princess who nodded slightly swept across the endless desert in the distance with her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and then turned to Zhengse and ordered: "Tell the brothers, all be mental, be careful." Recently, there have been many caravans buried in this desert, and the desert bandits among them are not to be underestimated. ”
When the big-nosed bearded knight Holly heard this, he immediately responded: "Yes." Your Highness the Princess! ”
After Holly rode his camel to inspect the herald, a hurried camel bell rang from far and near, and at the same time a hearty laugh rang out: "Ha Lu Ha." Princess Yatta! Rest assured! With the guards I lead, plus the guards under His Highness, even if you encounter an army of 1,000 people, you will have the strength to fight, let alone the desert bandits? ”
At the same time, a tall and burly man riding a camel came to the side.
"Alright! I hope it is as Mr. Cheng said. Your guards have enough power to withstand the murderous desert bandits," he said, frowning as he looked into the distance in the billowing sand. Princess Yatta, who stopped the camel, couldn't help but shout: "The whole team stops, ready to meet the enemy!" ”
Following Princess Yatta's line of sight, looking at the figures that were faintly visible in the rolling dust, the burly man couldn't help but curse. Instead, he shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
The voice did not fall. The burly man rode his camel to meet him, and took out two short maces from both sides of the hump, and his thick arms danced the two short maces.
In the midst of a shout, two or three hundred desert bandits rode or ran on camels, and were killing quickly.
As the mace in the burly man's hand danced, the desert bandits who rushed up first shattered their heads one by one, hit their chests, and fell to the sand screaming. Bloody, all dead.
'Keng', a big golden ring knife greeted him. Framed a mace.
The owner of the big ring knife, the bald man with his naked upper body, only a piece of animal skin wrapped around his waist, and most of his ears missing, couldn't help but tremble, and the camel under him also fell to the ground with a wail.
And some of the elite guards who rushed up with the burly man, all wearing soft armor, were also engaged with other desert bandits. In an instant, the sound of swords clashing and sharp weapons piercing into flesh and blood rang out from time to time, and the dripping blood sprinkled on the sand, making a sneering sound, and soon dried up and turned into dark red blood.
Although those guards are elite, the desert bandits are also fearless to death, and they have an advantage in numbers, and soon there is a tendency to counter the guards.
"Die!" The burly man who roared, the two maces waved, and soon the bald man who couldn't dodge and protect was knocked upside down and flew out. The sound of bones shattering could be faintly heard, and the bald man with blood gushing from his mouth just fell to the ground, and his whole body convulsed and stopped moving.
Next, the burly man, who seemed to be a tiger entering a flock of sheep, where the two maces passed, was full of floating corpses, and blood stained the sand, killing those desert bandits with fear.
"What a fierce general! I can't imagine that this wind is so powerful! Princess Yatta, who was also shocked to look at this scene, turned around and couldn't help but shout: "Holly, bring someone to help!" ”
Holly, who was also shocked, hurriedly said, "Yes, Her Royal Highness Princess!" Brothers, kill with me! ”
With the help of Holly and those Hu guards, the burly man Cheng Feng and others were even more powerful, killing those desert bandits who cried and shouted for their mothers and fled in embarrassment.
"Ha Lu Ha! A flock of rookies! Holding a bloody mace dripping with blood, Cheng Feng sat on the back of a camel, raised his head and laughed loudly, very happily and wantonly.
And Holly, who was shaken off the mace in Cheng Feng's hand, and a drop of blood spilled on his face, couldn't help but feel a spirit, swallowed his throat and looked at Cheng Feng with some fear, and scolded in his heart: "Perverted guy!" It's a killing god! ”
"Huh?" Cheng Feng, who was extremely happy, looked into the distance with a slight change in his face the next moment, unable to smile.
Looking at his gaze with some doubts, Holly suddenly glared, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and hurriedly said, "Quick! Lie down! ”
The wind was howling, and in the distance, a huge tornado vortex seemed to be connecting the heavens and the earth.
"Fuck it!" Cheng Feng, who gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice, couldn't care too much, and hurriedly jumped off the camel.
In the caravan not far away, Princess Yatta's face also changed greatly when she saw this, and she hurriedly ordered everyone to hide and let the camel lie down.
In less than ten seconds, the storm that seemed to be a long way away swept in front of it, and the gray sand and dust directly enveloped everything.
At this time, in the same gray sky two or three miles away, the void suddenly twisted, and a spatial vortex appeared out of thin air. One of the quaint black palaces flew out.
Inside the palace, Chen Hua looked at the gray scene outside, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Desert? ”
"Brother Hua. There seems to be someone trapped in the storm in front of him," Hu Ling'er stepped forward and came to Chen Hua's side, looking at the palace door with beautiful eyes and frowning slightly.
Saying that, Hu Ling'er hurriedly instructed Bai Ying: "Ying'er, set up a forbidden sky array to disperse the storm!" ”
"Yes, Teacher!" Bai Ying, who responded respectfully. was busy stepping forward and pinching the seal, and a streamer flew out of the palace gate, and then flew in all directions. Lost in the storm.
An invisible wave spread, and soon the storm that swept the sand slowly dispersed.
"Let's go, all out of the way!" Chen Hua said indifferently, and flew out of the black palace first. Dodge and flew into the desert below.
The crowd saw this. It's all busy and then followed. Among them, Yun Weng and Yun Lingyun's cultivation was still weak, and they were taken out of the black palace by Longma Yu'er.
When everyone fell on the sand, the quaint black palace also shrank rapidly, turning into a black streamer and submerging into the body of the old man.
"Let's go!" Looking at the camels and people lying on the sand in the distance, Chen Hua, whose eyes flashed slightly, flew away with everyone floating on the ground in another direction, and disappeared into the gray desert in the blink of an eye.
The caravan guards who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe and got up from the sand couldn't help but have some surprises for the rest of their lives. At the same time, it is also a quick move to save their companions and goods buried in the sand.
"Huh?" is also slightly embarrassed, patting Princess Yata with the sand on her body. She glanced at the direction in which Chen Hua and the others were leaving, and when she got up just now, she seemed to see a faint figure flashing.
"Am I dazzled?" Yata, frowning and thinking about it, shook her head slightly.
'Poof' spit on the saliva with mud and sand, shaking his head to get up, Cheng Feng couldn't help muttering and scolding depressedly, and turned to shout to the guards who got up around him: "If you can breathe, get up for me, go and help save people!" Let's see what's going on with Princess Yatta. ”
"Your Highness the Princess!" Hawley was even more nervous, and rushed to the caravan with his men.
Seeing this, Cheng Feng suddenly spat angrily: "Damn! In a hurry to protect the princess, even ignoring his own brother? Brothers, leave a few people and see if there are any brothers buried in the sand. ”
Not long after, Cheng Feng, who was leading his guards to join Princess Yatta, heard a middle-aged Hu man under Princess Yata say with a bitter face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, our water bags and water tanks have basically been blown away or torn by the wind. There is not much left of this water source. ”
"What, there's no water?" Cheng Feng immediately glared when he heard this.
Princess Yatta, who looked at Cheng Feng helplessly, looked very calm and said, "It's okay!" There is less than half a day's way to go, and we should be able to hold on to get out of the road. ”
"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid things aren't as good as you think," Hawley said with a solemn face.
When Princess Yata heard this, she frowned slightly: "Hawley, what do you mean by this?" ”
Hawley said helplessly: "Your Royal Highness, after every storm, the terrain in the desert will change a lot. Now, we can't tell the direction. The guide car was also damaged by the sandstorm. ”
"What?" When Princess Yata heard this, her delicate body trembled, and a look of panic flashed in her beautiful eyes
On a sand dune, Chen Hua, who stopped in his footsteps, turned to look at the people who followed behind him, his eyes swept over the faces, and finally fixed on Sanssouci, Heijiao, and the few scattered cultivators who were following them.
"Now that you have left the dimensional space where the 100,000 Great Mountains are located, you can go," Chen Hua, who was slightly silent, said indifferently.
looked at each other, and immediately led by the carefree son, stepped forward and saluted Chen Hua and said, "Immortal Venerable, we have already discussed it. We leave the 100,000 mountains, and there is nowhere to go. Therefore, we want to follow the Immortal Venerable, and I hope that the Immortal Venerable can contain us. ”
"You're clingy, but you're smart!" Shui Bingling glanced at them with a smile.
Chen Hua said indifferently: "Contain you? That's fine, too! But follow me, and you have to keep my rules. If you break my rules, there's only one end, you should be able to imagine. Now, have you really decided that you still want to follow me? ”
"Ask the Immortal Venerable to contain it!" Sanssouci and the others knelt down in front of Chen Hua, and they all spoke firmly.
His gaze swept over them calmly. Immediately, Chen Hua nodded and said indifferently: "Worry-free, give one thing, go and make friends with some monks who live in seclusion among the famous mountains and rivers above the ancestral star." Incidentally. Show off your cultivation and skills a little, and let them all know your name as soon as possible. ”
"This is some alchemy refining method and cultivation experience, you should be of some use, take it!" As Chen Hua spoke, he waved his hand and threw a white jade slip to the old man of Sanssouci.
Carefree took it in surprise, and hurriedly responded respectfully: "Thank you Xianzun!" I will complete Immortal Venerable's instructions as soon as possible. ”
"Others! You can go wherever you want, but you must not commit murder. Know the causal cycle. What your future holds is up to you," Chen Hua, who turned to Blackhorn, Xiongba, and other loose cultivators, said, "Before you leave." I will also teach you each the cultivation method that suits you. ”
As he spoke, Chen Hua waved his hand, and the spiritual light sank into the center of their eyebrows.
Surprised, thanks to the aging Black Horn and others, they couldn't help but look at each other with great surprise. For them. Naturally, there is nothing more enjoyable than being at ease. Not to mention. And got the benefits.
However, it is difficult to say how much they can understand the deep meaning of the old words.
"Immortal Venerable! You shouldn't be missing a guard by your side, right? It's also convenient to walk outside, with multiple guards or something. I don't have anywhere I want to go, so I might as well follow Immortal Venerable! Xiong Ba, whose eyes flickered, licked his face and looked at Chen Huadao with a smile.
looked at him indifferently for a while, and saw that he lowered his head a little weakly. Chen Huacai said indifferently: "Okay! Xiong Ba stays, and the others go their separate ways! ”
Others who reacted. or looked at Xiong Ba with envy or surprise, and then left separately.
"Brother, where are we going now?" After Heijiao and Sanssouci had left, Shui Bingling couldn't help asking.
Chen Hua looked into the distance with a slight twinkle in his eyes and said, "Don't worry! We don't have much experience outside, so it's best to walk in a company with others, so that it won't be too conspicuous and save some unnecessary trouble. ”
"Traveling in a group?" Shui Bingling, who was stunned, couldn't help blinking her beautiful eyes.
And Chen Hua directly instructed Xiong Ba: "Xiong Ba, according to this, there is a group of desert bandits seven or eight miles away. Go and borrow some camels from them. Remember, don't hurt anyone. ”
"Huh? Be! Xiong Ba was stunned when he heard this, and then grinned and said, "Immortal Venerable, you just look at me!" ”
After Xiong Ba left, Shui Bingling couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled: "Brother, I can't imagine that you came to this ancestral star to do such a robber thing, it's true"
"That was done by Xiong Ba, I didn't do anything," Chen Hua shook his head helplessly.
When Chen Hua and the others waited in the same place for a short time, they saw Xiong Ba, who had turned into a man with a broad waist and a round waist, riding on the back of a camel with difficult steps, driving more than a dozen camels. On the backs of those camels, it seems that there is something to help.
When he got closer, Shui Bingling saw the water bags and wooden water tanks on the backs of those camels, and couldn't help but glare: "Xiongba, why did you even grab their water?" ”
"Well done!" Chen Hua also glanced at Xiong Ba with a slight surprise, and then smiled lightly.
When Shui Bingling heard this, he immediately looked at Chen Hua speechlessly, and at the same time, some mourned for those bandits. In the desert, they were robbed of their strength and water, and if it weren't for their luck, they were afraid of death.
"Let's go! Don't delay! Chen Hua turned over and rode a camel first, and rode forward.
Seeing this, everyone also hurriedly rode a camel, accompanied by a camel bell, and followed the aging of the camel.
Such a strange caravan of little camels, which had almost nothing but water bags, soon disappeared into the gray desert
The caravan spread for a long time, moving slowly, like a tired earth dragon after a great battle.
The heat was rolling, and the desert was like a huge steamer, making the people in the caravan look like they had been fished out of water.
"Oops! Damn, it's hot to death! Cheng Feng, who was naked and majestic, was panting with a sigh in his mouth, fanning the wind with his sweaty half-sleeves, but he didn't feel a trace of coolness.
Cheng Feng, who only felt that his throat was about to smoke, couldn't help but ask Holly who was not far ahead, "Hey, is there still water?" ”
"It's gone!" Holly looked back at Cheng Feng angrily: "Before, the last bag of water was also drunk. ”
When Cheng Feng heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head and curse depressedly, and then looked at Princess Yata who was riding a camel on the side, looked at Princess Yatta's shiny soft waist, and swallowed Cheng Feng, who swallowed his throat, and couldn't help coughing lightly: "Princess Yata!" Look, why don't you get me a barrel of your fine Gaochang wine to quench my thirst? ”
"That's wine, not water! Besides, in this desert, all the wine is hot, and you won't quench your thirst with a barrel," Princess Yata frowned.
Cheng Feng said in a sullen voice: "What doesn't quench your thirst?" Still reluctant to give up your wine? I'm dying of thirst! Big deal, I'll buy it with you for silver. ”
"Here, I've got a bag of water here!" Princess Yatta, who had no choice but to look at Cheng Feng, took out a bag of water hanging in a cloth bag between the humps and threw it to Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng, who was busy reaching out to take it, couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, like a hungry bear, he raised his head and directly tore the water bag, poured the water in the water bag into his mouth, and the spilled water fell on his body, which made Cheng Feng instantly refreshed.
Seeing this, Princess Yata almost had a crooked nose. This guy, don't you know that this is life-saving water? It is a great crime to be so bad!
"Hawley! What's going on? We've been walking for so long, why haven't we arrived yet, and it's getting hotter and hotter as we go? Then Princess Yatta shouted to Hawley in front of her with some annoyance.
Holly, who came over with a camel, frowned and hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm afraid we're going the wrong way." ”
"You're saying we're lost in the desert?" Princess Yatta gritted her teeth and glared at Hawley.
Holly also bowed his head and said bitterly with a depressed face: "I'm afraid so!" ”
Princess Yata glared at Holly, her chest rose and fell slightly in anger, and Cheng Feng's eyes lit up when she saw it.
And at this moment, with a burst of exclamations, the caravan in front suddenly became chaotic.
"Huh?" Princess Yatta, who looked up at her with a frowning and annoyed look, showed a look of horror in her eyes the next moment.
Cheng Feng, who was also puzzled and turned his head to look, couldn't help but open his mouth like a hippopotamus, and his bull's eyes widened and exclaimed, "What is this?" Fire unicorn? (To be continued......)
