Section 220 The Edge of the Sand Sea
A small yellow flower grows lonely on the soil slope, the petals are divided into six pieces, the stem is slender, slightly black-purple. But because of this, this makes a flower more layered and gorgeous, maybe in this world, no matter what needs to be set off to show special, if all are just that bright yellow, it is too monotonous and boring, and where can it be like this time, firmly attract the attention of a young friar.
This is an extremely young-looking woman, with a graceful posture and a slender body, especially the thin waist that can be grasped, which is really quite eye-catching. Compared with her wonderful figure, her appearance is a little regrettable, not that she is too ugly, but compared to that seductive figure, her appearance is not too prominent. It's just that, even so, the smile on the corners of his mouth and the charming appearance at the corners of his eyes are enough to be comparable to others, and even in terms of attractiveness, it seems to be even more flattering with his soft and charming posture. This woman is naturally Ren Susu, who was assigned by the sect to come to Wuzhen with Zhang Jichang to perform tasks here. Perhaps because this little yellow flower was too beautiful, her gloomy mood relaxed, and the face that had not smiled for about a year couldn't help but show a faint smile at this time.
Perhaps, girls are born with a love for these flowers and plants, which can distract her attention and relieve her inner dullness.
However, her inducing movement naturally made the male disciples who were walking with her on the side couldn't help but be stunned, staring straight at her charming smile as if they had lost their souls. For a moment, the slope fell into calm, the breeze blew, and the slightly dry air carried a rare freshness, and the green blades of grass swayed together with the brightly colored flowers, which was really a wonderful thing, and it was easy to indulge in it, and it was difficult to extricate oneself.
I don't know how long it took, Ren Susu seemed to feel the hot and undisguised gaze of the male monk on the side, and couldn't help but turn his head. The two looked at each other, and suddenly there was an embarrassed look on their faces at the same time, and their eyes dodged. Especially the guy with a slightly obscene appearance of the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, probably because of his low appearance, he felt inferior, and at this time he couldn't help but take the initiative to say embarrassedly: "Senior sister, you are so good-looking, if you wear this flower, it will definitely be more beautiful." ”
At this time, Ren Susu was already relieved, after all, with her appearance, she was also "battle-hardened" in the sect, and she had long been accustomed to seeing the eyes of these senior brothers. Hearing this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Thank you Senior Brother Qi for your compliment, the little girl rarely hears the praise of others!"
This person she called Senior Brother Qi was naturally Qi Hua who came to Wuzhen with them, don't look at his usual cleverness, but at this time, listening to the soft laughter of this Senior Sister Ren, it seemed that the bones in his whole body were already crispy, and he suddenly said with a flattering smile: "How come, Senior Sister is so naturally beautiful, comparable to the appearance of flowers and moons, no matter which senior brother sees it, I am afraid that I will fall in love with it!"
Ren Susu covered his mouth and chuckled when he heard this: "It's the first time that I have praised like Senior Brother! Senior Brother Qi, the little woman's cultivation is shallow, but she still needs to work for Senior Brother to take care of it a little!"
Qi Hua, who has always been cautious, seemed to be proud at the moment, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Senior sister, don't worry, if you really encounter any danger, senior brother will keep you safe." After saying this, he seemed to have just remembered his current situation, and suddenly the pride that had just surged up for a short time involuntarily dissipated most of it. At this time, he also remembered the life he had been worried about for nearly a year, and thought of the difficult situation he was facing at the moment, so he couldn't help but look around, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he secretly exhaled a sigh of relief.
It was a hilly area, and in the distance was the endless desert that terrified them, and at the end of the sky behind them was the forest that was hard to see here, and looking at the green scenery from a distance would make them feel a little more at ease. As for the place under their feet, it is the place where the land meets the wind and sand, this slightly barren land, obviously because of the wind and sand, is extremely desolate, and the flowers and plants are sparse, which is why Ren Susu was deeply attracted after seeing the little yellow flower. Speaking of which, they hadn't seen such a scenery for a long, long time, and how could they not be depressed and tired when they looked up at the dark town every day, looking up at the world of yellow sand? Especially in the vast sea of sand, there were sand beasts at any time, which made them even more nervous. 1234
"Senior sister, this place is already a hundred miles away from Wuzhen, I'm afraid there shouldn't be any sand beasts! Uncle Shi ordered us to come here in turn to be vigilant, isn't it a bit of a big deal?" Qi Hua took a deep breath, and after a pair of smart eyes glanced into the distance, he couldn't help but ask with some uneasiness.
When Ren Susu heard this, he also retracted his mind to appreciate the little yellow flower, and said with a slight frown: "Senior brother, since the successive battles, the sand beasts have attacked in all directions, and Master Shen means that he is afraid that the back road for us to withdraw to the sect will be cut off, so this is how it is arranged! You must know that those sand beasts are extremely cunning, and we are not too afraid to attack from the front, but if we are attacked from both sides, the situation will be very dangerous." ”
Qi Hua nodded, then sighed and said: "Before I came, I heard that the mineral veins here in Wuzhen have not been attacked by sand beasts for thousands of years, why have we been fighting continuously since we first arrived here, and now not only Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Li have fallen, but even the rest of us are also dragged here and cannot move." No wonder the previous Lu Shibo said that there is no need to take on the task of the sect within three years after the completion of this task, and now it seems that there is really no good thing in the world to drop pies, and this mission is inevitably too dangerous. ”
Ren Susu couldn't help frowning slightly: "Senior Brother Qi, it's a pity that Senior Brother Zhao accidentally fell into the hands of the sand beast, but Senior Brother Li may not have also fallen." ”
Qi Hua was surprised when he heard this and asked, "What, does Senior Sister think Senior Brother Li can come back?"
Ren Susu's voice couldn't help lowering and said: "I heard that Senior Brother Li once escaped with his life under the sand wolf in the foundation building period, with the strength of that sand wolf, even Senior Uncle Zhang has never had the upper hand against him, and I think Senior Brother Li's strength is extremely strong." Otherwise, he would not have been assigned by his uncle to attract the attention of the sand beasts, and the sand beast chasing Senior Brother Li was the weakest sand scorpion of the three sand beasts, so I think Senior Brother Li should also have a chance to survive!"
Seeing Ren Susu's expression of concern and envy when he mentioned Li Ping, Qi Hua's heart didn't know why a wave of anger rose, and he immediately said with some dissatisfaction: "Senior sister can't help but think too highly of that Senior Brother Li, although his strength is strong, but after all, like me, he only has a ninth-level cultivation in the Qi cultivation period, and Senior Brother Zhang, who is an eleventh-layer cultivator, is still almost seriously injured under the blow of that sand scorpion, how can Senior Brother Li escape its pursuit?" Besides, now that such a long time has passed, if Senior Brother Li was still alive, he should have come back a long time ago, so how could there be no news so far?"
Ren Susu opened his mouth to distinguish something, but he couldn't help but be exhausted for a while, it was indeed about a year since they withdrew to Wuzhen, even if he could escape the pursuit of the sand scorpion, after such a long time, I am afraid that he would have already fallen into the hands of other sand beasts. As for what she thought before, she got lost in the sand sea, it should be wishful thinking, after all, the danger in the sand sea is amazing, and the sand beasts encountered at the edge alone make them suffer enough, and they get lost and go deeper into the sand sea, where is the chance to survive?
Speaking of which, she has a good impression of this Senior Brother Li, when she was in the Deacon's Pavilion, although this Senior Brother Li didn't even look at her, and he looked ordinary, but it was this kind of behavior that was different from others that made her feel a little special. Later, after hearing about the strong strength of this Senior Brother Li, she admired this Senior Brother Li even more, you must know that most powerful people are arrogant and domineering, and it is really rare for a low-key person like this Senior Brother Li to come. Now thinking of the fall of this Senior Brother Li, she couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness in her heart, whether it was admiration or sadness, in short, she couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship in her heart.
However, at this moment, Qi Hua on the side suddenly shouted like a ghost: "That...... There are people out there......"
