Chapter 756: Arriving at the Ice Lake
"Yours is...... It's true? Mingxi Gongzi's whole face was frightened green.
The rest of the people reacted similarly, even Suotu showed a look of trance, if it weren't for the accident he had experienced a hundred years ago, he would have almost believed it.
"Please also ask Childe to decide!" Zhang Yunfan did not answer from the front, but aggravated his tone, with an extremely cautious look, this expression was extremely bluffing, and he successfully fooled the stubborn donkey of Mingxi Gongzi.
"Lord Sun, the situation is urgent, hurry up and organize the team, although this son will go straight to the ice lake together." Prince Mingxi finally gave the order to continue advancing, and the army began to march in a hurry.
After determining the direction, the team set off again, and a group of people were panicked like lost dogs, heading straight towards the direction of the ice lake, but due to the delay of Mingxi Gongzi before, they didn't go far away, and the sandstorm swept in, the wind roared, rolled up the yellow sand, and attacked everyone on the ground.
The great momentum frightened the camel to stop, and like an ostrich, it plunged its head into the yellow sand of the ground, and was indifferent even if it was driven away, as if it was waiting to die.
Yes...... Yes...... Help......
The moment the sandstorm hit, the guards were as frightened as camels, standing in place and not knowing why, and when they reacted and wanted to escape, they were swept away by the wind, dancing and shouting.
At this time, no one can care about anyone, Zhang Yunfan's first reaction is to use the Force to protect his body, trying to find a place to hide, but the surroundings are empty, and there is nowhere to hide.
Just when Zhang Yunfan was very anxious, he couldn't stand anymore under his feet, and the wind rolled him up like a cloud driving into the air, the yellow sand squinted, and his vision was completely unobscured.
In the face of the destructive power of nature, even a Returning Yuan Realm cultivator could not resist it, let alone a fivefold cultivator of the Quenching Body Realm!
Zhang Yunfan lost control of his body and could only blindly defend passively, but this consumption caused a great load on his body, but compared to the storm encountered in the space-time tunnel through that meeting, this sandstorm was much weaker.
I don't know how long it took, when Zhang Yunfan woke up slowly, opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that his eyes were extremely painful and he couldn't see anything.
In a trance, he felt a gust of cold wind pass by him, and his body was trembling, shaking up and down, as if he was hanging in mid-air.
Temporarily lost the ability to see, couldn't figure out the surrounding situation, pricked up his ears to listen, but there was a buzzing tinnitus in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything.
Reaching out and digging a handful into his ear, he pulled out a pinch of sand. Zhang Yunfan felt a touch of bitterness in his heart, but he didn't dare to move.
After slowing down for a while, a vague outline appeared in front of Zhang Yunfan's eyes, but he couldn't see anything clearly, and there seemed to be darkness around him.
He quickly took out a bottle of water from the storage ring and washed his eyes, and the feeling of dryness and heat eased slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, the blurred scene finally appeared in Zhang Yunfan's pupils, and gradually became clear.
"Damn, how can it be hung on a tree?" Looking at the ground covered with yellow sand about ten meters below, Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but slander.
At this moment, Zhang Yunfan was hung on the branch of a poplar tree more than 20 meters high, surrounded by the boundless night, with a round of waning moon hanging in the middle, pieces of dark clouds drifting by, and the waning moon disappearing from time to time.
The atmosphere is a little weird and scary!
After figuring out the surrounding situation, Zhang Yunfan felt his physical condition, and there were bursts of soreness all over his body, and there was nothing wrong with him as a whole.
Taking out the spirit snake sword in the storage ring, Zhang Yunfan waved his hand and pulled it upward, cutting off the branch hanging on him, and his body fell down.
Falling on the sand, Zhang Yunfan didn't do anything else, first sat cross-legged under the tree, and rechecked his body inside and out.
In the previous sandstorm, although he did not suffer internal injuries, external injuries were inevitable, and his body was extremely embarrassed.
He took out some healing pills from the storage ring and took them, dealt with the injuries, and then swallowed another Guiyuan Pill, and when he recovered, a touch of morning light lit up.
After eating something and filling his stomach, Zhang Yunfan got up and jumped on the poplar tree, looking at it from a high distance, he didn't find any people, but he saw that the southeast direction was cloud-locked and foggy.
"That should be a glacial lake, right?" Zhang Yunfan had a guess, and then the corners of his mouth flashed with bitterness, "I didn't expect it to be blown here by the wind." ”
Although he guessed where he was, Zhang Yunfan had a hint of hesitation and considered whether to go to the ice lake to make an appointment.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yunfan felt that although the prince of Mingxi was a gentleman, his mind was not bad, and if he didn't care about it, he might die in the desert. So the priority should be to find someone.
But with his own strength, trying to find someone in the huge desert is like looking for a needle in a haystack, if someone helps, it will be different, and the chance of finding someone will increase a lot.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Yunfan began to trek in the direction of the ice lake.
The so-called, looking at the mountains and running dead horses, the same is true in the desert, the endless desert has an extremely wide view, and you can often see the scene several miles away, as if everything is close at hand, and you will find that it is not the case if you try to get closer.
In order to rush to the ice lake for help as soon as possible, Zhang Yunfan sped up his journey and used light skills, although it was more expensive to cultivate, but in order to save people, everything was worth it. After running for about a while, I didn't know how to climb over a few sand dunes, and finally arrived near the glacial lake.
After running for so long, Zhang Yunfan was tired enough, slowed down and looked ahead, there was a sand dune a hundred meters away, and on the other side of the dune, the water was mist, obviously not far from the ice lake, and the temperature here suddenly dropped a lot.
After taking a sip of water and climbing up the sand dune, just as Zhang Yunfan rushed down with all his might, there was a quarrel in the distance, and he was suddenly stunned.
I saw an oasis in front of me, and a checkpoint was established at the place where the oasis and the desert were clearly separated, and it was surrounded by lush and dense forests, and only at the checkpoint there was a road for access only.
There were a lot of people standing near the sentry post, and the armor style was exactly the same as the guard outfit of the City Lord's Mansion, and you didn't have to think about it to know that these people must be from the City Lord's Mansion, but what surprised Zhang Yunfan was not these guards, but a woman, who came with him.
Duanmu Xianyue was painting something with her hands and feet, but the guards didn't bother to listen to him at all, kept waving her hands and bombarding her away, and even raised weapons to threaten, but this woman was very stubborn and never relented.
"Duanmu Xianyue is still alive, so the probability of the rest of the people still alive has also been greatly improved, but it's just ......" Zhang Yunfan was quite puzzled, because he didn't know what Duanmu Xianyue was talking to those guards, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was for a while.
The sudden situation disrupted Zhang Yunfan's plan, and he originally planned to come here to ask for help, but now seeing what happened to Duanmu Xianyue, he suppressed his thoughts.
According to Zhang Yunfan's observation of Duanmu Xianyue along the way, although this woman is taciturn, she is a person who values love and righteousness, which can be seen from her attitude towards her fiancé Blood Son.
Since Duanmu Xianyue is a loving and righteous person, it is impossible to ignore the life and death of everyone, and now she is the only one who appears, and understands the two situations, either she is separated from the rest of the people, or the rest of the people are injured and unable to move, so she was sent to ask for help.
If Zhang Yunfan's conjecture is true, then as soon as Duanmu Xianyue appears, and these guards understand the situation, the guards should respond immediately, instead of driving people away.
Things were full of strangeness, which made Zhang Yunfan extremely puzzled, and he couldn't understand the key, so he could only endure and continue to observe.
After a while, the situation at the outpost changed, and a person came out of the forest, with different armor and guards, according to Zhang Yunfan's understanding, only generals would be dressed like this.
The burly general walked out with a displeased face, and he didn't know what to do with Duanmu Xianyue, so he only talked a few words, and suddenly waved his hand, and the guards next to him rushed up and grabbed Duanmu Xianyue.
Zhang Yunfan wanted to go down to the rescue, but after a closer look, he found that the general's was actually a Guiyuan Realm cultivator, plus a group of Quenching Body Realm guards surrounded by him, any of which was a lot higher than Zhang Yunfan, so he suppressed his impulse.
Duanmu Xianyue is originally a Dan Xiu, and his main ability is alchemy, and his combat power is difficult to compare with the guards, and he can only struggle in vain when he is controlled by others, and he can't resist at all, and finally he was tied up and hung on a big tree in front of the sentry post.
"Damn, this is too violent, that's a woman, just treat the girl's family like this, these people are really barbaric enough." Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but slander, and at the same time thought of a plan.
At this time, it was still early, there was still some time before noon, according to the time, it was most appropriate to save people at night, but time was running out, in case Dan Qiusheng's gang encountered danger, a delay of a second would be more dangerous.
Last time, he successfully rescued a strange man in the hands of bandits, Zhang Yunfan summed up some experience in saving people, and at this time he hatched a plan in his heart, which was divided into three steps. The first is to find out the situation of these guards, so that they know themselves and their opponents; Second, according to the situation we have learned, we should prepare for saving people according to local conditions; Third, save people!
The thought flashed in his mind, Zhang Yunfan crawled behind the hill, took out a dagger and drew a circle on the sand in front of him, marked twelve points along the edge of the circle, inserted the dagger in the middle of the circle, and under the sunlight, the dagger projected a shadow and pointed at one of the points.
This method is actually based on the ancient timekeeping instrument "sundial".
The so-called sundial is a tool that uses the projection of the sun to keep time, and the one he made on the spot is just a simple product, and the regular sundial needs a large disc like a compass, which is engraved with the pattern of the dry earth branch, which can calculate the time.
And Zhang Yunfan's purpose is to estimate the routine and time of these guards, and the sundial made in front of him is enough.
Watching the situation on the other side of the checkpoint, observing the guards' every move. The hard work paid off, and after a long time of squatting, he figured out some rules for the guards, in addition to Minggang, there were also patrols, according to the movement of the dagger projection on the sundial, these patrols appeared every ten minutes, and the rules were strict.
It also makes it clear that the ice lake is extremely well defended, and it can be seen that this place is anything but unusual and must be hiding some secret that no one knows.
Mastering the rules of the guards' activities, Zhang Yunfan glanced up, the sun had risen in mid-air, and it was time to eat, he didn't believe that these guards didn't eat, and once these people changed shifts, it was also the best time to save people, but before that, they still needed to prepare before they could act, otherwise they might fail due to failure. I want to talk about "The Best Demon Little Shennong" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
