Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bald Mage
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight carry a little bit of coldness, which is a rare mild time in the desert sun.
After folding and putting away the cotton fabric, Chen Xi took out the two underground clothes, shook off the sand on them, and draped them on his body, on the one hand, he could resist the invasion of the wind in the cold morning, and on the other hand, he could take advantage of the sun to get rid of the humidity of last night.
The sun was still on the distant horizon, this was undoubtedly a good time to hurry, Chen Xi climbed the hill and looked in the direction he came, not finding anything unusual after the war, but he was sure that the battle had taken place, and even ended.
But he didn't look back, his time with the mercenaries was over, they were about to head for the ruins of wealth, and he had to find his way home!
It didn't take long for Chen Xi to walk under the pit of the sand dunes, and he had to choose to bypass or climb the sand dunes at some point, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of his journey, but avoided being discovered by some dangers, such as various bandit groups roaming in the desert.
The sun was setting in the west, and Chen Xi fell into another embarrassing situation, as before, without the slightest experience, he didn't know where he had gone.
After more than a day's journey, he could only judge that he had left the tributary of the last Leke River, but he was far from reaching the next target point.
The second night gradually passed, there was no warm bonfire, and there was no big warm baby Skarash, Chen Xi had to tremble again to spend the night, two consecutive nights of poor sleep made him a little trance, he wanted to sleep after the sun was born, but it was undoubtedly a joke with his life.
On the third day, Chen Xi's figure still loomed in the sea of sand, like a small boat in the stormy waves.
On the third night, Chen Xi found a ruin in the desert, which looked like the ruins of an ancient city, and at this time, there were only a few walls left, which were constantly being worn away in the yellow sand.
Without going deeper, Chen Xi knew that such ruins had already been turned over by mercenary scavengers, but this also meant that such a place was the best place to camp.
With his back against the wall, Chen Xi chose a secret place and padded the cotton fabric underneath, and the moisture that the wall would not have made him feel at ease to put this warm thing underneath to make himself sleep more comfortably at night.
The place chosen by Chen Xi is located on the slope of the sand dunes, but the yellow sand will be blocked by the wall behind him, and the wall in front of him will help him cover his tracks well, which is undoubtedly more dangerous than the barren sand dunes, but this will also make Chen Xi feel a little at ease.
Pray that tomorrow is a lucky day, Chen Xi closed his eyes and enjoyed this hard-won good time.
Soon, the night was getting deeper, and the whirring wind was blocked by the wall behind him, Chen Xi tucked away his clothes, curled himself up into the corner, and his face was slightly soothed.
Although Chen Xi hoped that the night would be peaceful and peaceful, he was still woken up by some sounds.
"Sukawa, how far is this from where you've found it?"
"Mr. Mage, it's not far, go further, more than a hundred kilometers away from Nerima!"
"Are you sure there's something strange out there?"
In the dark night, a little light from afar woke up Chen Xi with the sound of words, making him instantly refreshed, in this desert, there has never been a kind person!
"Yes, Master Mage, the thing there appeared after a big sandstorm, it looks like a very old city, I tried to get in, but was stopped by a crimson light, and it disappeared after a day!"
In the dark night, Chen Xi tried his best to hide his panic, in such a barrenness, meeting people meant encountering danger, even life, and he had no pajamas.
There weren't many stars left in the sky, which meant that it was already the second half of the night, and maybe the next moment, the sky would gradually light up.
What must he do, Chen Xi moved slowly, and then the wind, he got up, slowly folded his clothes, draped the fabric on his body to temporarily resist the wind and sand, and slowly moved, hiding himself deeper!
The night gradually passed, the sun returned to the ground, the yellow sand looked wrinkled and shining in the sun, and in the distance, two figures gradually revealed, Chen Xi hid himself very deeply, and had already put away the fabric early, last night did not sleep as comfortably as he imagined, his shoulders were a little sore at this time.
But at this time, he didn't care about this, covering his black hair with a sand-yellow turban, Chen Xi disguised himself behind a ruined wall, and observed the two figures in the distance.
A guy who looks like a mercenary, with a thin body and a rusty scimitar tied to the right side, it looks like he doesn't mix well among mercenaries!
The figure on the other side made Chen Xi's pupils shrink, and the purple skin made Chen Xi instantly think of a scavenger, but he was obviously not, with a bald head, shining purple lines on his body, a huge scroll on his back, and an ancient book that could only be seen carefully, these things all explained the identity of the other party, the rune mage Ruiz! The still naked upper body in the desert allowed Chen Xi to further confirm his identity.
The ancient mages in this Rune Continent undoubtedly made Chen Xi a little excited, and even made him relax his vigilance a little, after all, Ruiz was not a brutal person who devoured and killed, the latter was working more to protect the entire Rune Continent, although this made him appear decisive in killing!
Although this familiar person made Chen Xi feel a little close, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Xi did not choose to show up.
Not to mention what kind of intentions his sudden appearance would make the latter think of, not to mention that he didn't come to meet a certain mage, although the other party's destination was somewhat the same as his own, and it was obviously safer to follow them.
did not show up, Chen Xi waited for the two of them to leave far away, and then chose another path and moved towards the set goal.
However, the drama of life is often unexpected, just walked out less than two kilometers, Chen Xi can even see the ruins from a distance, and a sand wall in front of him has already rushed to his face!
Frowning, this sandstorm is likely to drown itself, permanently!
Therefore, Chen Xi knew each other very well, and without hesitation, he turned around, turned around, and walked towards the ruins!
