The wind, with an amazing whistling sound, came from far and near, and swept towards you. Its formidable strength carries the yellow sand in the sky, like a large net spread out, covering all the gaps between heaven and earth. All things in heaven and earth seemed incomparably small in such a terrifying scene, and no matter how high their cultivation and strength were, they all seemed pale and powerless in the face of this scene.

At this time, it is about noon.

However, the fiery sun in the original sky did not show the slightest figure, not only did the blazing light not shine on the ground, but even the sky was very dark, and it was impossible to see that it was noon at the moment. In this case, you can see how thick the sand and dust in the sky is, and you can feel how terrible the strong wind is. And every time at this moment, people walking in the wind and sand can't help but recall the beautiful scenery of the bright moon in the sky at night, recall the clear sky and the quiet night, it is really unimaginable that such a world is different, but it is actually in the same place.

"Senior Brother Li, when have we come to this point?" A slightly hoarse voice came from the wind and sand at this time, and I don't know if it was due to the wind chill or the sand poured into my mouth.

Shen Tong couldn't help but stop moving forward when he heard this, he turned his head to look around, and his head couldn't help but wrinkle. At this time, he and Zhang Rui and Senior Brother Zhang were climbing a sand dune, but they had only worked hard for a long time, but they had only climbed about halfway, and looking at the top of the hill that seemed to be connected to the sky, even he couldn't help but feel a feeling of wanting to give up in his heart.

In the middle of this vast desert, it is really unbearable to have such an almost mechanical uphill and downhill slope for several days. What's especially terrible is that sometimes it is a trivial matter to go against the wind, and it is still a trivial matter for the yellow sand to drill straight into the seven orifices, and it is difficult to even take a step after working hard for half a day, which is the real test for them. Such a terrible situation, thanks to the fact that they are monks, if they were ordinary people, I am afraid that they would have been unable to support it.

Sighing secretly, Shen Tong looked back at Zhang Rui, only to see that the silver-white monk's robe he was wearing at the moment had completely turned yellow, almost integrated with the heaven and earth in the four corners. And his face was wrapped in a piece of sandcloth, leaving only two eyes outside, but the effect of such protection was limited, and when he looked closely, he saw that his eyelashes were covered with sand, which looked extremely funny. In such a situation, Shen Tong didn't laugh at his thoughts and thoughts at all, because he didn't need to look to know that his appearance at the moment was probably no better than this Senior Brother Zhang, not to mention that in the current situation, where did he have other thoughts.

"Senior Brother Zhang, how about we take a rest for the time being?" Shen Tong looked at the yellow sand in the sky and couldn't help but sigh and said.

Zhang Rui seemed to have been unable to ask for this for a long time, and after hearing this, he didn't care about his image at all, and sat directly on the yellow sand. Then he lay down directly, looking like he was seriously exhausted. It's no wonder he's so unbearable, they've been running around all the way in the past few days, and they've never stopped at all. Although he and Shen Tong were both cultivators of the ninth layer of the Qi cultivation period, the difference in the degree of mana was too far apart, and under such consumption, when Shen Tong felt a little struggling, he naturally gritted his teeth and persisted for a long time, but he gritted his teeth and persisted until now, and he didn't say anything.

"Senior brother, how far do you have to go?" After lying down, Zhang Rui's tone was full of despair, and he looked like he really couldn't walk.

Shen Tong was silent for a moment and said: "According to Uncle Zhang's instructions, we should go thousands of miles away, and it is estimated that we will have to walk for about five or six days, if there is no problem, we will return the same way after five days, and this mission will be completed." ”

"Senior brother, after walking for so long, where can we still distinguish between the south, the south, the north, and the west? If we continue like this, I am afraid that it will be a problem to find a way back by then. Zhang Rui said helplessly.

Shen Tong groaned for a moment, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I know that we are in such a hurry, and we are afraid that our physical strength is a little unbearable. But since we have been chosen by Uncle Shi, where else do we have any other way? You must know that this exploration is not just about completing the task, if there are really sand beasts gathered around, I am afraid that the entire Wuzhen will be wiped out. ”

Zhang Rui tore off the gauze covering his face, and on his dark and honest face, he immediately showed a helpless expression, only to hear him sigh and say: "Senior Brother Li, if there is really a gathering point for sand beasts, how can we send the news back? I'm afraid that it will be swallowed alive by the sand beasts." "100 Literature

Shen Tong was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother Zhang, how should you act according to your opinion?"

Zhang Rui's honest-looking face showed a rare look at this time, and he only heard him murmur: "It's better to take turns with my senior brother to move forward, separated from each other for a few miles, only within the range of sight, if there is really a sand beast infested, it will not be trapped at the same time, and at the worst someone can go back to convey the news, senior brother, do you say this method is feasible?"

Shen Tong looked at his face, and couldn't help showing a look of disdain in his heart, he really didn't expect that this guy who looked honest and honest had a lot of twists and turns in his stomach, he wanted to ask him rhetorically, in this case, who should walk in front and who should walk behind? But after thinking about it, he held back this sentence. In Shen Tong's opinion, no matter whether he is really shrewd or falsely shrewd, since he knows that he is such a person, if he can make friends, he will make friends, and if he can't help but stay away, there is really no need to expose them in person, and make the relationship between each other more embarrassing and embarrassing, after all, there is no communication between each other, there is really no need to do this.

Thinking like this, Shen Tong held back the disdain in his heart, nodded and said: "Senior brother's concerns are indeed reasonable, if this is the case, then I will open the way in the front, and how about the junior brother being vigilant in the back?"

Zhang Rui's eyes widened when he heard this, and his face was surprised, obviously thinking in his heart about how to convince this Senior Brother Li, who didn't seem to have very good words. However, when he suddenly said such an arrangement, he was stunned, and at the same time, he couldn't help but blush slightly after looking at Shen Tong's calm face and slightly mocking expression. Fortunately, his skin was darker and covered in sand, but it was not easy to see what he really thought in his heart. However, he said evenly: "I am willing to listen to the arrangement of the senior brother, and wait until tomorrow, and then I will rotate the senior brother in front, so that the senior brother can be a little easier." ”

Shen Tong smiled noncommittally, and then said: "Senior brother should not pull too far behind, otherwise if there is something that cannot be taken care of by each other, it will be troublesome." ”

Zhang Rui hurriedly responded: "Senior brother, don't worry, I understand this." ”

After Shen Tong nodded, he set off again, crawling towards the sand dunes that seemed to be connected to the sky, but this time, he obviously increased his speed, and in the blink of an eye, he opened up the distance between him and Zhang Rui, and went deep into the yellow sand alone. At this time, in his mind, the voice of the mysterious old ghost sounded disdainfully, "Li Xiaoyou, your patience is really good, you are so willing to open the way for others!"

Shen Tong looked at Zhang Rui in the distance who had no sign of moving, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Doesn't the senior feel that he is a little farther away from him, but a little more relaxed?"

Youxuan snorted coldly and said, "You think about it, when you encounter the sand beast, I'm afraid that it will be someone else." ”

Shen Tong said with a smile: "With the seniors here, where can there be sand beasts that can sneak attack me?" Besides, if something like that really happens, I'm afraid it's not clear who is unlucky, but the distance between Li Xu is really not insurance!"

Youxuan seemed to be quite satisfied when he heard this: "That's right, just now I thought that your kid had a problem with his brain, and he didn't figure out such a simple thing, and now it seems that your kid is also a belly of bad water, but you hide it deeper and pretend better." ”

Shen Tong sighed: "If you are unkind, I can only be unjust, who can blame this? However, after all, it is the same door, if it is not at the moment of crisis, I will not do this kind of trouble." ”

Youxuan said: "Xiaoyou, don't you think you can easily go back this time?"
