"Hey...... I don't know how many days it is...... In the troubled times, the old man, I can live for so many more days, it is already a mercy of God, and if I don't close my eyes, I will drag Zhang Ye and them down......" Not far from the mother and son, an old man who was close to the old age was leaning against the wall more than half a meter high, looking at the wind and sand outside the wall, pulling the corners of his mouth, there was a kind of indifference to death, but he didn't have the strength to show a smile again.

"yes...... Enough to live, to have such a few days of freedom, for us old guys buried in the loess to the neck, what else can't be put down...... To live any longer is to rob these juniors of their chances of survival, and we should have died a long time ago. The other lady looked to be breathing more than she was coming in, and her whole face was like bark.

"Zhang Ye, it's not easy for them, they've all been dragged down by us......"

"The only thing we can help them now is to swallow this breath......"

A few old people sitting around next to him were in a very poor state, but their expressions were a little calm, and they slowly came over with great difficulty, huddled together, as if they were planning to discuss something.

A month ago, they left Yuye City and fled to the ruins of Lifeng City.

Because there were too many old and weak women and children, and the supplies were insufficient, there was no way to speed up to the next site, so they could only stay here and wait for the opportunity.

However, by five days, all of them had run out of water and food.

The team of hundreds of people began to fall into the survival dilemma of being cut off from water and food.

Without any food or water, these hundreds of people were already weak and dying, especially the elderly and children, who could only curl up in corners or in the arms of adults, struggling to survive and desperately waiting for death.

And all the way to protect these old people, women and children, are about thirty or forty warriors.

They were better than ordinary people, but they were also dusty, and they did not rest for a moment, they were all busy back and forth, some were watching the crowd around them, some were scattered around the wall, patrolling back and forth, and some people looked into the distance from time to time, as if they were expecting something.

The strength of these martial artists is not very high, most of the strength is between fifty and seventy Lingquan Realm, although they are different in age and body shape, they are all wearing the same style, and they seem to be unable to distinguish the color of the clothes, obviously they are disciples of the same sect or force, because of the support of Yuan Li, they seem to be in good spirits, but they are also somewhat tired and haggard.

The most central place of the ruins.

There are also three or four powerhouses whose strength is in the Heaven Ascending Realm, who are obviously the core figures of this group of human races, who are gathering together to say something at this time.

"Senior Brother Zhang Ye, think of a way, even if the adults can still wait, those children and the elderly, I'm afraid they won't be able to wait for today, we will try our best to escape with them, we can't let them die in this desert like this......"

"That's right, Senior Brother Zhang, Yu Yecheng is already short of supplies, the people are struggling to make a living, and the food and drink that we stockpiled before we escaped are even less pitiful, and now Uncle Huang and they can support it until now, it is already the limit. ”

"It's been three days since Senior Brother Luo and a few other junior disciples went out to find a water source, why haven't they come back, will something happen? Alas, this is really a rush to death. ”

The six slightly anxious and worried eyes all looked in one direction.

Where the eyes converged, a warrior who looked the oldest, about thirty years old, with a bronze face, resolute and three-dimensional facial features, bright eyes, and a burly figure.

Seeing the trusting eyes of the senior brothers, Zhang Ye showed a wry smile on his face and said, "Wait a little longer, at least before Luo Qi and them come back, all we can do is wait...... By the way, Cheng Kui, you and Liu Ming go to inspect and see if those family members show up...... Showing symptoms of dying life, Qiao Qu and I went to patrol the city first, and by the way, we saw if Senior Brother Luo had returned. ”

Zhang Ye sighed softly, and after giving these orders, he turned around and walked in the direction of the city wall in the distance.

"Senior Brother Zhang Ye, wait for me. ”

Behind him, the woman in the cyan suit followed closely, she was about in her early twenties, her facial features were delicate, her temperament was gentle, her soft skin had already been blown rough and yellow by the wind and sand, but her eyes were still bright and clear, her name was Qiao Qu, she was the only woman among these warriors, and she was also Zhang Ye's lover of Mei Sweetheart。

A moment later.

On the half-worried ruined city wall of Lifeng City.

Zhang Ye and Qiao Qu stood side by side, looking into the distance.

On the vast Gobi Desert, there is not a single grass growing, and the huge pillars of yellow sand rolled up by the wind are connected to the sky and the earth, as if they want to crush the whole heaven and earth.

In the distance, the yellow sand and the sky dome are almost a line of the city.

A huge disc red sun is slowly hanging low towards the desert, the sun is like blood, the glow is like fire, reflected in the sky and the desert, like a raging flame, with the pride and tragedy of devouring the heavens and the earth.

"Senior Brother Zhang Ye, are you okay?" Qiao Qu looked at Zhang Ye, his eyes full of worry and distress.

Although this senior brother of theirs is silent and not good at words on weekdays, he actually has the deepest intentions for these senior brothers and sisters.

Along the way, Senior Brother Zhang Ye almost didn't touch a mouthful of the water and food they prepared, and gave all of them to those junior disciples.

"But I'm a little tired, don't worry, how can I have anything to do? I said, I want to take you to escape from this Heavenly Dragon Ancient Realm, go to a place with mountains, water, flowers and birds, and start our new life again. Zhang Ye's voice was full of exhaustion, and it seemed that only in front of his beloved woman did he dare to relax a little.

"Senior Brother Luo, they haven't come back for three days, do you think it will be ...... by those chasing soldiers in the sect" Qiao Qu hesitated, but still said the worry in his heart.

She and these brothers grew up together, and they are really closer than a family.

This time they escaped from Yu Yecheng, they planned for a long time, and almost exhausted all the methods of everyone, which can be described as a desperate fight.

"Don't think about it, this neighborhood is deserted, not even the grass grows, if you want to find a water source, it will naturally take a little more effort, but with their current strength and physical strength, at most today, they should come back, and besides, with the strength of the Tianlong Ancient Sect in Yu Ye City now, it is not easy to chase and kill them so quickly. ”

Zhang Ye comforted Qiao Qu.

But although he said that, when Zhang Ye stood on the city wall and looked around, he still unconsciously had some anxiety in his eyes.

About half an hour passed.

Suddenly, about four or five miles away from Lifeng City.

There were two extremely faint ripples of Yuan Force that flickered slightly.

"It's Luo Qi, they're back!" Zhang Ye sensed that breath, and his eyes lit up.

After counting the breaths.

In the void.

Two figures staggered out.

Their clothes and hair were full of yellow sand and dust, and their original skin color could not be seen on their faces at all, just a gray yellow, as if they had just been fished out of the sand pit, but they could vaguely see that they were exhausted, and the aura of Yuan Force was extremely weak.

"How's that...... You ......" Zhang Ye hurriedly went over to help.

But he didn't know what this sentence was, whether he was asking about the condition of his two juniors and disciples, or the matter of finding a water source, and how it was going.

As the backbone of this team of hundreds of people, the pressure and responsibility he has to bear is really unimaginable.

"Luo Qi, Zhou Yuanshan, have you found the water!" On the side, Qiao Qu also hurriedly came over to support the two, but in a hurry, he couldn't care about the embarrassed appearance of the two junior brothers, so he asked the results of the search for water first.

But the two junior disciples looked gloomy at the same time and shook their heads slightly.

"Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Sister Qiao, I'm sorry to disappoint you, we're useless...... Senior Brother Zhou and I searched the vicinity for about a thousand miles, but we didn't see a drop of water, and the Yuan Force was almost consumed, so we had no choice but to come back first. Luo Qi seemed to blame himself a little, lowered his head slightly, and looked guilty.

"Say anything, just come back safely...... By the way, why is it just the two of you, what about Senior Brother Mo and Senior Brother Xu?" Zhang Ye's eyes flashed with a hint of loss, but he still gently patted Luo Qi's shoulder.

How could he not know that this junior disciple, who has always been kind-hearted, has done his best.

"They haven't come back yet?" On the side, Zhou Yuanshan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in great surprise: "We are searching separately from two sides, they are in the other direction, but...... Their strength and physical strength are not as good as ours, and Senior Brother Luo and I thought they should be back this morning at the latest......"

The voice fell.

The four of them were silent for a moment.

The two junior brothers haven't come back yet, but I'm afraid it's definitely not a good thing.

But everyone was lucky, did not speak, and all chose to stand on the city wall and wait.

During this period, no one wanted to think about it anymore, let alone say anything.

And so, keep waiting.

Waiting for the last trace of red glow, it was forced back by the night.

The desert became pitch black, and only the faint light of the hazy moonlight on the rolling wind and sand brought a trace of light to this ancient city.

And the other two junior disciples who went out to look for water still haven't returned.

Zhang Ye and the others stood at the head of the city, looking in different directions, silent to each other, but they also had to begin to admit and face a fact in their hearts.

Senior Brother Mo and Senior Brother Xu, I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck.

In the desert yellow sand, even if there is no pursuit, there are countless dangers hidden and there are many fierce beasts.

"Let's go, it's time to go see Uncle Huang and them. Zhang Ye took a deep breath, beat his spirit, and beckoned to several other juniors.

Afterwards, several people walked together towards the ruins of the wall in the city.
