The hardest wolf's head actually burst out with a burst of blood, as if it had hit it vigorously, and the wolf flew out upside down without snorting, and the corpse slammed to the ground. [This site has a new domain name. initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

"What are you stunned about, come up!"

A slightly dull but unconcealed pleasant voice sounded behind him, his heart was beating wildly, but Hou Jie paused for a while before he turned around, and next to Wu Yuanqing's big fat face, there was a smoky familiar fire gun and Li Que's cold silver mask, although the human face was not there, this scene made Hou Jie feel very familiar! Very familiar!

"Don't be stunned!" The fair-skinned but not delicate hand suddenly stretched out in front of him, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he grabbed the hand suddenly, and with this force, Hou Jie also went to the room lightly.

With just one change in position, the offense and defense of man and wolf have changed.

I don't know what the luggage of the mercenaries at the entrance of the town is, about thirty wolves have arrived here, howling in horror and rushing upwards inappropriately, and the mercenaries who have taken a breath this time unhurriedly opened their bows, worthy of the ruthless characters of swords rolling in the sea of sand, only six bows, but almost every arrow will hit.

Whoosh, whoosh~

Li Que was also shooting, but at this time, he had already put her away as a scabbard and hid it behind her back, the gorgeous long fire gun, I really don't know how many things were hidden in her thin fitting leather armor, and a delicate little crossbow was pulled out of the boots, and the tail feathers of the boots that were originally used as decorations were constantly pulled out, but they were inch-long crossbow arrows.

The small crossbow was not very powerful, and the accuracy was abnormal, and after a few arrows, two wolves fell under the crossbow arrows.

The cunning wolf hissed for a while, and finally retreated, retreating to all corners, and a pair of dark green eyes still greedily looked at the living creatures that had been encountered on the roof.

Seeing the wolves retreating, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, Li Que had just put down the crossbow, and suddenly grabbed her face with a hand.

Scold~

The hand was opened and popped out of the sleeve, and the cold and shining hidden blade pressed against Hou Jie's neck, full of ferocity, Li Que roared gloomily: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Yu'er, isn't it you, Yu'er?" Seemingly ignoring the cold dagger on his neck, Hou Jie was still out of shape, shouting at Li Que full of surprise.

After a pause, Li Que's words were like a basin of cold water poured down from Hou Jie's head, and the Hidden Blade was still on Hou Jie's neck, Li Que coldly pressed him and snorted: "You are talking about the county lord of Yu'er, she is dead, and I am just a substitute cultivated by His Royal Highness the King of Min in order to miss her." ”

"My face only belongs to the King of Min, if you dare to unmask me, I will kill you!"

"There's something to say, there's something to say!"

Seeing that the two of them were breaking up like this, Wu Yuanqing, who was so frightened that his legs and stomach trembled, hurriedly flashed his fat palm in front of the peacemaker, and the dark eyes under the mask glared at Hou Jie fiercely, Li Que put away his Hidden Blade and went to another corner.

"Little Monkey, You ......"

"I'm fine!" He let out a long breath of turbidity, and casually pushed away Wu Yuanqing's sweaty and fat hands, and Hou Jie looked down cautiously.

"Be careful, don't let the wolves eat again, I won't be able to save you next time."

"Huh? Oh......"

In the end, it was still a matter of life and death, even if he was a veteran in the love field, Wu Yuanqing still put things aside with a big nerve, and stared at the hungry wolf eyes below with round eyes, and didn't pay attention to Hou Jie's sad face covered by a white turban and beard.

The confrontation between humans and wolves is still ongoing, maybe the one-eyed old wolf that Li Que killed with a fire gun just now is the head wolf of this super-large wolf pack, and overnight, the wolves did not organize an orderly attack again, until dawn, the wolves slowly retreated to the north wind.

After waiting for more than half an hour, some of the mercenaries pretended to have the courage to go down to the room, and took advantage of the morning light to explore the past, and after a while, the loud business came back: "Come down, the wolves are far away." ”

The loss of this trip was really miserable, sixteen people died, and the town where the camp was set up last night, the messy corpses and bones were scattered all over the ground, including the internal organs of Paul's apprentice, and the large muscles were almost torn apart by the wolves, and they almost couldn't even tell who was who, even if they were used to seeing life and death, and the mercenaries of all races who were indifferent couldn't help but be gloomy.

Sixteen cemeteries were erected temporarily, and for the first time the priest Paul and his three disciples prayed so solemnly, and the remaining fifteen mercenaries of different faiths were also in the rear, with solemn faces to see off these former competitors on their last journey.

On the other hand, in the direction of Mecca, Hou Jie also bowed heavily with the solemn etiquette of Islam......

Human life is sometimes really fragile, sixteen people were bitten to death, only one camel was bitten to death, and only the internal organs were lost, the camel meat hump was all there, after the early morning worship, the mercenary team that was half a circle small was busy again, and the dozen or so wolves shot dead last night were skinned and decomposed, and the dead camel meat was also removed, and a large pile of dried meat was dried on the roof.

The wolves devoured the crowd, but they also kept themselves for food.

There is only one well in the whole town, and now it is half filled by wind and sand, as the leader, Hou Jie actually went down the well himself, and the shovel was digging up the soil one by one, and before he could dig for a long time, the noise above suddenly came up.

"You can't go! We have already paid half of the bounty, and this mission is still entrusted by the Fujian State, and you must not give up halfway! ”

The sound of angry screams was obviously made by Li Que, the impenetrable captain of the forbidden army of the Min Wangfu was obviously angry to the extreme, but the voices of various races greeting his mother were not smaller than her voice, listening to the chaotic quarrels, Hou Jie couldn't help but spit in annoyance, and climbed out along the wall of the well three times and twice.

In two years, without Li Yuer by his side, Hou Jie regarded himself as Li Yuer, although he was still as short as about 1.6 meters, his skills were obviously honed very well.

In front of the camel herd, open his arms to block, Li Que roared angrily, even if he couldn't see her face, he could still feel her majestic anger, in front of her, the surviving fourteen mercenaries, including Paul and his three apprentices, were all pushing violently, yelling, and the eccentric old mercenary Berannis was quietly watching from the side, the blind old man was still half-dead, and Wu Yuanqing was anxious and constipated.

But Hou Jie could see that he also hesitated.

"What are you going to do?"

Hou Jie's soft shouting was more effective than Li Que's earth-shattering sound, and all of a sudden more than a dozen people became silent, as if they had been amnestied, Li Que hurriedly and anxiously explained to Hou Jie loudly: "These people don't want to go on, they want to go back to Xinhan Valley!" ”

"You're all leaving?" Slanting his eyes, Hou Jie paced in front of a group of people, obviously Hou Jie was much lower than himself and the others, and the fourteen mercenaries still felt as if a giant beast was staring at him and the others, which made these mercenaries who licked blood with their heads shudder.

For a long time, an old mercenary in his forties, who was also a Tocharian man, was pushed out by the mercenaries, and it was a very respectful salute, with wrinkles on his face, and the old mercenary sighed and said: "Zhonghujun, it's not that we don't want to go, but we can't go anymore!" ”

"In front of us is the Cavill Salt Desert that leads to death, and the villain has also followed the Guardian Army twice, whether it is kidnapping people or going deep into the desert to kill people, every time the Guardian Army gives us a goal, but this time, it makes us extremely confused, even if we die, we don't know why we died? We don't want to die in vain! ”

Every mercenary couldn't help but nod in accommodation, but unfortunately after glancing at them, Hou Jie still shook his head coldly: "Where to go is a secret, I can't tell you for the time being, you want to leave, and the general will not stop you." ”

"The Protector!" This time it was Li Que's turn to be anxious, she had just finished eagerly, but Hou Jie waved his hand to stop her words, dragging her sleeve to the side, seeing this, sometimes like yesterday's escape, Paul was the first to hold a group of camels, and the rest of the mercenaries also rushed up, but unfortunately, before they left, Hou Jie slowly floated a sentence behind and made everyone stunned.

"Paul, aren't you a pastor? Don't forget to help everyone pray that Ben will return alive. ”

Everyone froze there as if they had been petrified.

Still back in front of the dry well, Hou Jie dug up the sand with a spade after spade, and after a while, one mercenary after another fell silent and joined the ranks of the work, but left Hou Jie idle, and on the other side, more people were more meticulous to sort out and dry wolf meat and camel meat.

It's as if there was no voice for this mutiny.

If people fall into paranoia, persuasion is useless, what is needed is to let them calm down and think about the situation by themselves.

Hou Jie is the No. 2 person in Xinhangu, if he dies in the desert and the mercenaries go back alive, what will the Xinhangu military do with these mercenaries who go back alive? And although it is like the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, it is fundamentally different from the Western Regions, and there are at least these powerful countries such as Kangguo, Shule, and Qiuzi in the Western Regions, but the only place for pleasure in Khorasan is Fujian, isn't it just for pleasure? Instead of going to other poor countries where the situation is precarious, it is better to follow Hou Jie to death, at least Hou Jie is a hero.

After digging a well for a day and a night, the muddy but sweet groundwater finally gushed up, and the group put up a fence in the abandoned town, stayed for a few days to rest, and set out on the road again with the dried meat and water.

Half a day's journey from Hulantu, a white world came into view of the expedition team.

Cavill Salt Desert!

The sun seemed to be even stronger here, and the dry shrubs, plants, and puddles that were occasionally seen on the hills disappeared, replaced by white bones that were often bare on the surface, lying on the white salt layer, with the bones of animals and people!

In ancient times, this was once the bottom of the sea, but with the uplift of the plateau, all life seemed to be taken away by the stripping of water, leaving only the lifeless salt layer to absorb the heat violently, Wu Yuanqing, Paul looked at Hou Jie again tangled, but just like the silence of these days, Hou Jie silently took the lead in entering the desert, then Li Que, and then the blind old man.

Sighing helplessly, he led the camel, Berennis, Paul, Wu Yuanqing, and many mercenaries followed one after another, and set foot on this white land of death......
