When the sun is setting in the west, the girl who has completely removed her heart will finally go back with the person who entrusted the rest of her life. She felt that this day was the most memorable time in her young life.

With the mountains as an alliance, the earth as a covenant, the lakeside sideburns, the most important person in her heart finally gave her a promise. Although no one can guarantee that there will be no variables in the future, she is already very satisfied.

Originally, she mustered up all her courage and made up her mind to hand over her body to him today. In this way, even if there is no eye damage on the battlefield, there is no regret.

But he didn't. Just gently helped her get dressed, and then calmly said a lot of words.

Of course, maybe he is not as calm on the inside as he appears to be. Because, the smart and shrewd girl clearly saw the suppressed desires that occasionally flashed in his eyes, and ...... At that time, I was extremely embarrassed when I was holding my body.

"He should like it too......?"

Thinking of some of the shame of the intimate contact between the two, her face flushed again. When he bit his lip with his fine teeth and peeked at the figure walking in front of him, his heart was full of infinite longing for the future.

Finally, I looked back at the indigo lake and the mountains in the distance, which were even more beautiful under the sunset and evening light. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come back! She thought to herself.

The mood was comfortable, the horse's hooves were fast, and the two people and two war horses rushed back in the direction they came. At this time, everything I saw along the way was new.

"Master, look! These trees are so tall! It's dozens of feet high, right? I don't know how many years it will take to grow like this in a place like this. ”

There were patches of trees that flashed by, but the trees were different from what they had seen elsewhere. The girl on horseback shouted excitedly, full of surprise.

When Yuan Zhao looked in that direction, he was also shocked. Of course, he knew this kind of tree, and in this Gobi Desert, only this special tree species can grow tenaciously. Nothing else will survive. And such a large area of forests is extremely rare.

"This tree is called Populus euphratica, and it is unique to the area. Legend has it that they grow for a thousand years, die for a thousand years, and decay for another thousand years. But it is rare in the world and extremely rare. ”

"Oh, I see! Tsk, it's amazing! ”

Huo Quzhi heard Yuan Zhao's statement, and when he looked carefully, he saw that the trunks that had dried up and died were still craggy, and they were still standing despite the invasion of wind and sand, and he didn't know how many years it had existed, let alone how many years it would continue.

There are many more strange things like this. In particular, some birds and beasts that occasionally appear have never been seen in the Central Plains. If she wasn't in a good mood and didn't want to kill, she had to ride her horse and bend her bow to shoot a few and bring them back.

After a short walk, at the bend of a mountain range in front of you, you can see the end of the remaining veins of the Tianshan Mountains. As long as you pass through this gap, you will see an endless grassland. Huo Quzhi remembered passing by here last night, and it should be more than two hours away from the Han army camp on the bank of the Shule River.

The sunset in the west was red like blood splashing in the air, and the galloping Ryoma suddenly pricked up his ears and let out a long hiss. Ryoma is very spiritual, and there must be something abnormal. Huo Qu was stunned for a moment, and his heart was alarmed for no reason. She was about to loudly remind Yuan Zhao to pay attention, but she had already seen the master raise his arm to signal, and the horse slowed down and gradually stopped.

Huo Qubing didn't dare to slack off, and also grabbed the reins of the dragon horse, the two rode side by side, and when he stared ahead, he saw that where the sand and dust were rising, a fierce beast was rushing towards this side from the direction of the mountain pass.

The war horse that Yuan Zhao was riding was not as good as the dragon horse, and he kept moving his horse's hooves in some panic, as if he wanted to flee from the wilderness. This is not to blame it, but all ordinary horses are naturally afraid of the breath of fierce beasts, how can this horse be an exception!

With a "snort", the red fire sword was unsheathed, the big red cloak flashed, and the dragon horse had already jumped forward, blocking the front of Yuan Zhao. The heroic girl has an itchy forehand along the way, and there is a fierce beast attacking, but it is sent to the door, and I can't ask for it.

Yuan Zhao frowned slightly, and at this time he had already seen clearly that it was a mighty lion that was swept up in wind and dust. Such a male lion is the king of all beasts living in the Western Regions, which is extremely rare in the Central Plains. The one in front of him was unusually large, the size of a calf. Just by looking at the appearance, you know that it is very fierce.

However, it was not the lion that he cared about. His gaze looked beyond the trampled dust and stared in the direction of the distant mountain pass, where the murderous aura that suddenly appeared was somewhat unusual.

"Master! Don't worry, you stand back, watch me kill this beast, even a lion dares to act in front of us! ”

Yuan Zhao nodded, and did not stop her, his gaze did not leave the direction of the distance, and only casually ordered to be careful. No matter how fierce this lion is, it will be difficult to survive under Huo Quai's hands. For this, he has absolute confidence in this proud disciple.

Huo Qu was full of excitement and had the heart to do it in front of Yuan Zhao. Originally, she had a nine-armed crossbow on the back of her saddle and a spear on the wings of the Victory Hook, but she deliberately did not use these two to kill beasts, but instead held the red fire sword in her hand, and jumped off the dragon horse.

The lion came very fast, in the blink of an eye had reached three or four feet away, seeing that the target to attack not only did not escape, but met up to block the front, he couldn't help but roar, the sound shook the four wilds, galloped up and jumped a few feet, opened his bloody mouth, and viciously pounced down on the girl's delicate figure!

In the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, the king of beasts was the tiger. Whether it is Lingnan or Jiangbei, it is very common for tigers to be infested. However, the male lion, an animal that lives on the desert plateau of the Western Regions, has seen very few people.

When Huo Quzhi first went to the Western Regions as a captain of the Black Eagle Military Academy and led a team of 100 people to protect the Han Mission for the first time, she had actually seen this kind of powerful animal. After she returned, out of curiosity, she asked Master many questions about lions in detail. Yuan Zhao naturally took the trouble to tell him about the power and living habits of the lions of the Western Regions, as well as some interesting legends about them. This knowledge, of course, is due to the fact that he often watched "Animal World" in that world.

At that time, when I heard that the lion actually had the title of "King of All Beasts", Huo Qubing was deeply impressed, and it can be known from the master's tone that this animal is very powerful. But I didn't expect that today, there was such a big one who would come to hurt people.

But she didn't panic at all, and she didn't have the slightest fear. In those days of hard study and hard training in the dense forest of Zhongnan Mountain, Yuan Zhao had taught her many times the ability to slaughter bears and fight tigers.

The lion and the tiger are similar things, and the means of killing the tiger are used to kill the lion, and it is not impossible!

Say it's late, then it's fast! The lion in mid-air saw that its huge claws were about to slap her shoulder, and the foul smell of the bloody mouth came to her face, and it was already less than three inches away from the top of her head. At this moment, I saw that the girl who had already seen the direction of the concentration and calm qi lowered her body, and then used all her strength to poke the red fire sword in her hand up, but she didn't raise her eyes to look, just relying on the feeling in her hand, dragging the sword back with great speed and fierceness.

I heard an earth-shattering roar from the lion's mouth, as if he had been mortally wounded, and his body jerked for a moment, and then he fell to the ground, only roaring and circling, but could not stand up again. Blood gradually flowed all over the ground, and such a ferocious beast, wrapped in a huge momentum, surged, but in an instant, it died!

It's just that when it passed by, the edge of the Red Fire Sword had already cut its abdomen, and the entire broken belly from the front chest to the back tail was opened, and the liver and lungs flowed out, so could it still live?

Huo Quai, who slaughtered the lion with clean and neat means, turned around, stood firm, shook the cloak on his body, and saw that not a drop of blood was splashed, so he relieved himself. When I was at the lake, I had just changed my clothes, and it would be a pity if I were tainted by the blood of this beast.

She glanced back at the lion who had died, and was smug in her heart. Just about to jump in front of Yuan Zhao's horse to show off, suddenly her ears vaguely seemed to hear a long whistling sound in the distance, and she was stunned for a moment, before she could react. Suddenly the evil wind is not good, coming from mid-air! At the same time, I heard Master's loud shouting.

"Be careful! Get down! ”

The instinctive reaction of the body formed by long-term hard training played a huge role in this critical moment, Huo Quzhi's mind didn't even think about it, his body rolled back directly into the grass, and at the same time, the sword in his hand waved in front of him again and again, trying to use the edge of the sword to force back the attack from the air.

A huge black shadow shrouded the sky above her, and the sand and rocks flew in front of her, and she couldn't see what happened for a while. The pair of steel and iron claws like small tree forks were very sensitive, and under the action of the wind and sand with huge wings, not only could the sword not hurt it in the slightest, but under its repeated attacks, the girl who was rolling in the grass to avoid didn't even have a chance to stand up.

At the critical moment, a chirp was suddenly heard, and the black shadow rose into the air, as if it had been hit by something, temporarily stopped attacking, flew more than ten zhang high, and hovered in the air.

Yuan Zhao put away the wrist crossbow in his hand, but he was a little surprised. He could see clearly from the side that it was a very large eagle that swooped down from mid-air to attack Huo Quai. This kind of eagle is very different from ordinary flying eagles, and they have another majestic name in the grassland, called "Tianshan Snow Eagle"!

Just now he rushed to the rescue, and obviously shot the eagle, but although the sharp crossbow arrow stopped its attack, it did not hurt it, and the huge wings like iron wings easily knocked the crossbow arrow away.

Yuan Zhao hurriedly pulled Huo Quzhi up, and saw that although she was a little embarrassed, fortunately she was not injured, so she relaxed a little. Just about to say something, but when he heard the whistling sound again, the Tianshan Snow Sculpture was commanded by its master, spread its wings, and swooped down again, continuing its fierce attack!
