Volume 11 The Lonely Smoke of the Desert Chapter 101 Competition
The desert wind rose, and there was not a single tree in the field of vision, and it was rare that there was a little bit of turf attached to the ground, which was also half green and half yellow.
Su Xiaochen looked at the desolation in front of him, such a barren land, no wonder the Imulan people lived a difficult life, compared with the two countries of the vast and blue sea, it was really a world of difference.
He suddenly remembered that although he was like a cage in the carriage a few days ago, at least he ate and drank without worry, and there were people waiting for him, and now that he thought about it, it must have taken a lot of thought to supply so many things along the way for a country as poor as Imulan.
I don't know what happened to Heping and Herin.
Those two girls are the same age as themselves, I hope that because they escaped, they won't be implicated.
Su Xiaochen was thinking about it while looking at the terrain around him. It must not be easy to escape in such an endless flat land, and according to his experience of riding horses since childhood, he must at least find a undulating place on the hillside to have a chance.
It was a summer day, with a huge temperature difference between day and night, and a fur blanket at night, but the sun during the day was so hot that it felt like it could peel off a layer of skin, and the Imurans all around them stripped off their upper clothes, revealing their strong pectoral muscles. The leader in front was also half-naked, and I saw that the knife marks on his back were densely scarred, and many of them were obviously wounded and wounded, and I really didn't know how many vicious battles he had experienced.
When Su Xiaochen was seeing that his scalp was numb, the leader suddenly slowed down in front of him and walked side by side with Su Xiaochen. He untied the water bladder on his waist and handed it over, and made another gesture to drink, signaling to Su Xiaochen to see.
A few sips of water into the throat are really indescribably refreshing. Su Xiaochen gratefully handed the water bladder back, and the leader still smiled at him.
Su Xiaochen suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
I didn't have a father since I was a child, and although my uncle raised me very dedicatedly, he rarely had such loving eyes. Later, when I came to Uncle You, on the surface, he was as strict as his uncle, but it was only when he was teaching, and Uncle You, who finished teaching, was always as amiable as his father, and asked for warmth.
But the man in front of him is obviously a ferocious blood clan, and he is also a leader, just looking at the scars on his body, you can imagine how many people have died under his knife, and looking at the silence of his subordinates, you can also guess how terrifying he usually is, why is Dudu always kind to himself?
And the love in his eyes is a little similar to Uncle You.
What is the rationale for this? Is it a delusion?
After half a day, the leader had already handed over the water bladder three times. There was not a word between the two, and several times Su Xiaochen could feel that the leader wanted to speak and stopped, probably because of the language barrier.
After a few more walks, the team stepped over a sand dune, the only place on the way that had been obscured by view. Su Xiaochen became a little nervous, he looked left and right at the distance from the downhill, and began to think about how quickly he would be able to get rid of the Imurans from the side of the sand dunes if he suddenly turned his head and ran wildly.
Suddenly, the scabbard of a long knife shook in front of his eyes, and the carved textures of the scabbard were covered with unwashed blood, and suddenly it was so close to the tip of his nose that Su Xiaochen could almost smell the faint blood smell on it.
The leader looked at him sternly, and shook his head gently, as if to reassure him, as if to see through his intentions. He withdrew his long knife and put his hand in his mouth and whistled, when suddenly the lion-like steed under him raised its head and neighed, which could be heard from far and near. Immediately afterwards, the black horse under Su Xiaochen's crotch also responded, looking very intimate.
Su Xiaochen suddenly understood.
With the veteran way of a battle-hardened man like the leader, how could he not see the idea of wanting to escape. And Su Xiaochen is also very clear about the habits of horses, even if he escapes, as long as the leader whistles, his foal will turn around and run back, and everything will be in vain at that time.
It seems that there is really no escape.
When Su Xiaochen was depressed, he saw that the cavalry that had been sent out in the morning suddenly rushed over from a distance. He said a few words to the leader, and with a wave of his hand, the team stopped. Su Xiaochen didn't know what they were going to do, so he had to follow and get off the horse. Some people had already taken the reins over, and others began to set up tents on the shady side of the hill, and in a short time they were set up, and it looked like they were used to setting up on weekdays.
The leader beckoned Su Xiaochen to sit in a cool place together, and handed him the water bladder.
Su Xiaochen saw that everyone else was still so sunny, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he handed the water bladder to an Imulan soldier beside him, but the soldier hurriedly took a few steps back, obviously not daring to take over.
It seems that the superiority and inferiority of the Imulans are also very different.
Su Xiaochen sat silently, feeling a little bored. Suddenly, the leader patted him, took a knife and handed it to him, and pointed at himself with a smile.
Is this to compete with him?
Su Xiaochen couldn't laugh or cry, how could he be his opponent?
The leader was very persistent, and the soldiers next to him were also very excited when they saw that the leader was about to end, and the scene that was still silent suddenly became lively.
Su Xiaochen saw that he couldn't hide from the situation, so he had to stand up hard. He is also open-minded by nature, thinking, just compare, it's not a shame to lose anyway. He looked at the knife in his hand, and felt that he was not in his hand, and caught a glimpse of a soldier beside him with a spear, and borrowed it as a club.
The leader was still carrying the huge long knife on his back, and he poked the handle of the knife into the ground calmly, not moving like a mountain, like a god of war, and a divine momentum was pressing.
Su Xiaochen was a little stunned, because Tie Hua had passed his stick moves on defense, and there were no offensive moves, and now the leader asked him to strike first, but he didn't know what to do.
When the chief saw that he did not move, he thought that he was cowardly, and frowned, and first raised his long sword, and without unsheathing it, he slashed straight down from above. Su Xiaochen saw that the knife was fierce, but it was not fast, so he hurriedly flashed to the side, and the spear in his hand naturally stabbed out diagonally.
Every move of the Iron Flower Sect hit upwards, and Su Xiaochen was puzzled when he first learned it, but when he fought fake demon beasts on Nanhua Island before, because every snake head was attacking from above, these moves were just right. Now when he met this leader, he happened to be huge, and his spear stabbed upward, but he went to the key point in front of him.
The leader snorted, apparently not expecting him to do such a trick, and dodged with his side face, grabbing his gun with his left hand. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaochen's move was to stab three times in a row, and every time he stabbed him, he immediately withdrew it and stabbed it again, in fact, he still took offense as defense. So the leader's left hand was empty, but when the second shot came, he seemed to know where Su Xiaochen was going to stab, so he was already waiting there and grabbed it.
The soldiers around cheered when they saw this, Su Xiaochen was caught with the gun, and it was not withdrawn, nor was it withdrawn, and his face was flushed, and he was very embarrassed.
The leader's original intention was to pass the time with a few casual gestures, but he didn't care at the moment, he smiled, let go, and motioned for him to come again.
Su Xiaochen was not as nervous as before this time, he raised his gun and stabbed towards the middle, and the leader wanted to grab it like just now, but Su Xiaochen still missed a blow and immediately withdrew, stabbing two more shots in a row, but the next two times were stabbed to the ankle of the lower plate.
The leader saw that he had changed his path again, and there was a lot of praise in his eyes, but he didn't dodge, and directly put the long knife upright and blocked it at his feet, only to hear the sound of "dang", and the tip of the spear poked at the hilt. Su Xiaochen suddenly felt a tingling in the tiger's mouth. He took two steps back, one turned around, and swept his spear out, still pointing at the leader's face.
This time, the leader didn't just defend, he shouted, and the long knife in his hand slashed down into the air again, the knife was swift and fast, faintly sandwiched by the wind. Su Xiaochen was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, the leader chased after him and stabbed again, and it was still overwhelming. Su Xiaochen took a few more steps back. The soldiers around them immediately retreated in recognition of each other, making room for them, and did not forget to cheer and cheer.
When the third knife came again, Su Xiaochen already felt that the knife was getting faster and faster, and he estimated that he would not be able to dodge the fourth knife if he retreated, so he took out the silver bell rope that Steward Lin gave him in a hurry. But as soon as I took it out, I regretted it, there was a desert all around, there were no trees, and the silver bell rope had nowhere to climb!
At this time, the leader had already raised the knife again, and Su Xiaochen was in a hurry, and threw the silver bell rope at his left arm, which happened to wrap around his elbow. Su Xiaochen dragged and retracted, and the whole person flew into the leader's arms, he tightened the silver bell rope with his left hand, and poked the spear like a harpoon with his right hand. This move really surprised everyone present, and the soldiers couldn't help but exclaim. The leader's right hand was not able to save him, and his left hand was tied again, and he saw that the spear was about to be pierced into his arms. Hearing him shout, he pulled his left hand upward, and Su Xiaochen's body was suddenly thrown into the air like a kite with a broken string, and the spear in his hand had already been messed up, and he came out of his hand and fell to the ground.
The leader threw the long knife in his right hand and connected it up, and he had already firmly picked up the fallen Su Xiaochen in his arms, as if he was holding a baby.
The leader looked at Su Xiaochen's body eagerly, and then looked at him with anxious eyes, as if asking if he was injured.
To be honest, the scene just now was just a moment, but Su Xiaochen's heart seemed to turn countless thoughts.
Why does this leader care about himself indescribably, why does he still have a feeling of being attracted?
Su Xiaochen stood firm, then smiled and waved his hand, meaning that it was okay. At this time, there was a burst of cheers in the group of soldiers, and they obviously didn't expect that this seemingly weak scholar could be so extraordinary. How did they know, in fact, the tricks just now came from Tiehua's personal inheritance, and secondly, there was a silver bell that surprised them, otherwise where could they get close to the leader's body.
