Soft vines grew on his back, woven into a backrest, Xia Xiao leaned back, and fell asleep with Ah Candle, who was sleeping on his thighs. When I woke up, there was already a fire burning the clouds. The light of the sky amazed the years and was extremely fascinating, and Xia Xiao and Ah Candle were still sitting in their old positions, looking at the eternally quiet courtyard.

It's summer, and there is a small table in the courtyard, and one person brings a dish. Older people don't pay much attention to many aspects, because they have already seen it through. But there are also things you want, such as companionship!

For them, it's a great day to get together and say a few words a day. Looking forward to Ah Candle's return, the motivation from grandma has become the common thought of everyone. They were all curious about what kind of strength the little girl would have when she came back next time, and they were ready, but they always felt that their guesses were too conservative.

"It's time for us to go. ”

Xia Xiao was a little unbearable, but he still said it. As night approaches, they should travel for a while, and the probability of staying in one place for a long time and encountering the Academy and the Optimus Sect is greater than moving. Ah Candle knew that the backpack had been carried, but he looked at the small courtyard and said faintly when he waved his hand:

"Goodbye grandma, I'll come back to see you next time. ”

A sudden wind burst from the mountain stream, which made Grandma lazily cast her gaze, but she didn't care. But on the wind, Xia Xiao spread his wings, harnessed the wind and dragged Ah Candle, and rowed from the clouds to the south at a very fast speed.

The grassland has passed, and the smell of horse manure is everywhere day and night, and the fishy smell of grass and earth will never go away. When leaning against the snowy mountain, the cool air is blowing, one after another, which makes Ah Candle not want to get close many times. And the place that is coming this time is no better than them, and it has even worried Xia Xiao.

This wasteland, known as the Beast's Tail Horn, is a place even more desolate than the snow-capped mountains, with a permanent apocalyptic light, vast and palpitating. Xia Xiao and Ah Candle walked on the edge, smelling the slightest bit of life, looking at the empty world with only weeds, and couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

"Go back first. ”

Xia Xiao dragged Ah Candle back to the small jungle next to the wasteland, causing the latter to ask:

"What's wrong?"

"The tail horn of the wild beast is vast and sparsely populated, if we rush in, we will probably be discovered, and we have to find a way. ”

If they are found elsewhere, they will have a chance to escape, even if the people of the Optimus Sect come to stop them. But Xia Xiao's target was originally the south of the South China Sea, but there was a Tanghua Temple there, and if they were alarmed and brought in, it would be difficult to get rid of it. Tanghua Temple's heart to eliminate demons has always been extremely heavy, and everyone in the world knows it.

Ah Candle was amazed at Xia Xiao's thoughtfulness, but they could only step through this empty and even smaller wasteland, after all, there were few clouds in the sky, and it was permanently dim, if they flew, they had a better chance of being discovered. Xia Xiao suddenly remembered something and looked at the deep forest behind him.

The perception spread in an instant, Xia Xiao saw the trees offended, saw the birds and insects chirping, and saw several desolate beasts watching over his domain. In the west of the southern country, in the southwest of Great Xia, under the southern business, is this desolate and chaotic wasteland. But there are still a lot of people coming, such as this squad with the Adventurer's Guild brooch at this time.

Xia Xiao had seen them before, and when he was sure that they would come to his side, he immediately sat down under the tree and took out the veil to cover his face. Wide clothes and black robes and veils, Xia Xiao was extremely well prepared, Ah Candle followed, and listened to his explanation:

"We went south with the Adventurers' Guild. ”

"Can it be done? We've got enough forces involved. ”

"Not bad for this one. ”

Xia Xiao said, looking south. As soon as you leave this jungle, the heavens and the earth are dyed in a brownish hue, and everything is deep, and so it has been since ancient times. And this wasteland is like an endless abandoned wheat field, and there is a faint heavy sadness everywhere, and with the clouds and wind in the sky, it looks extremely heavy.

The wasteland was born in a big war, and it has not changed its appearance so far, and now it brings Xia Xiao a strange feeling. Even more strangely, there seems to be a calling. Xia Xiao, who had been on the road for many days, lost his tiredness, stood at the edge of the jungle, looking affectionately at this endless wasteland on the small dirt slope, if there was something in his heart, like a secret hidden in it unknown to the world waiting to be revealed, and like once he set foot on it, he would never return to the world.

The strange feeling made Xia Xiao hesitate in place for a long time, and Ah Candle devoted himself to his call, wanting Xia Xiao to answer his question. He suddenly relieved himself, looked at Ah Candle's dusty little face, and said softly:

"The tail horns of the beast are too big, and there are no people, we can't walk on it all the time, because it will be found sooner or later. ”

"But you can't follow the Adventurers' Guild. ”

"It doesn't matter, they are not strong, and they can't find out our true identity for the time being, you just need to cooperate with me. ”

"Look at you, people are not stupid, we have been on the run for more than a month, and it will be strange to see us wrapped in veils!"

"There is Tanghua Temple in the south, although we are dangerous, but we are also safe. ”

"Okay. ”

Ah Candle was a little worried, she knew that Xia Xiao was making a risky move, which was much more dangerous than the previous safe and steady move, but he was good at playing such chess. At this time, Jin Xing's vitality covered the blade of the knife, shaping it into an ordinary knife, and then waited with Ah Candle. They sat on the gateway to the wasteland, the exit from the jungle, and was extremely quiet.

As soon as the branches moved, the lush leaves followed one after another, for fear that it would be too quiet and disturb Xia Xiao's plans. But when the six-member team of the Adventurers' Guild saw someone sitting at the exit, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and immediately drew their knives.

The dark brown heath is vast and heart-wrenching. The strange clouds in the sky and the heavy wind in the sky made them feel fear in advance. At this time, the two sat on the border line, like caretakers at the gates of hell. It's just that Xia Xiao and Ah Candle didn't have the slightest hostility, so they gradually relaxed and didn't make a move immediately.

"Who?"

The man at the head is middle-aged, with scars on his face as terrifying as centipedes, his eyes are vigilant, and the cold light is difficult to disperse.

"Fang Huan, a lay believer, don't misunderstand. ”

"What is a layman?"

There was a young guy in the six-person team, and he asked the question directly, which made the captain of the team look back and scratch it fiercely. But he never picked up the knife and kept a distance from Xia Xiao.

"You're going to Tanghua Temple?"

"Exactly. ”

Xia Xiao was respectful, and the man asked again:

"Why don't you go?"

"The first time I came to the wasteland, I didn't know where to start. ”

"Just go south and say goodbye. ”

This captain is obviously a veteran and doesn't want to have anything to do with Xia Xiao. When they are away from home, they also have their own tasks, and not to be troubled is the tradition and the teaching of their predecessors.

The captain passed by Xia Xiao and Ah Candle and led the team into the wasteland. Xia Xiao did not forcibly follow, but only said to Ah Candle after a long time:

"Let's go, we're far behind. ”

"I'll just say no, the beauties in the wilderness are fox spirits, our kind, although we are not monsters, but we will definitely not be taken care of!"

"Don't worry, there's a chance for them to take us, just follow. ”

Xia Xiao has loved to read strange books since he was a child, and knows that this wasteland has all kinds of strange things at night, and there is some kind of creature hidden. If you make a move then, you'll be able to keep up with it. As for the size of this wasteland, it is enough for them to walk for ten days, so even if they don't succeed tonight, they will have a chance tomorrow.

The only thing that is uncertain is where they are going, but they can go together for a day, and that would be a safe day. Xia Xiao suddenly became more energetic, pulling Ah Candle to walk in the extremely high barren grass.

Strange to say, even if the grass in this wasteland was trampled down, it stood up again when it turned its head. I don't know if the hole they blew up in the wasteland is still there, or if it is like a dry weed, it can recover even if it falls. Like a yellow paper with a spell, it is burned and then restored from the ashes, forever paying tribute to the dead and proving the power of that powerful being.

Xia Xiao and Ah Candle followed at a great distance, gradually deviating from their route, but they both headed south.

In the six-member squad, the youngest young man was taught a lesson by the captain.

"If you can't speak, don't speak, it's embarrassing to lose face!"

"Don't be angry, captain, it's my mistake. ”

The young man shrunk his neck, and was taught a lesson by several old brothers around him.

"In the future, talk less nonsense in front of outsiders, pay more attention to your surroundings, and be careful that you don't even know how you died. ”

"That's right! There are quite a few people who died in this wasteland, and they are all your predecessors!"

"Over the years, most of the people who have died in the wasteland have been adventurers from our union. ”

"You, if you don't like to read, forget it, you don't usually listen to nagging, don't you know now? A lay believer is a lay disciple of Buddhism. ”

A man explained the young man's confusion and made him suddenly realize. However, the captain glanced behind him and said angrily:

"Leave them alone, they are not good at first glance, they don't have the breath of a monk at all, if they are unlucky, it will be Xia Xiao and Ah Candle!"

These two names have long since become demonic beings, and what used to be the supreme respect they would now bring only panic and make them quicken their pace. But the young man had his own opinions, leaned against the old brother who had solved his doubts before, and asked in a low voice:

"It shouldn't be Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, right? How could they run towards Tanghua Temple by themselves? Who doesn't know that Tanghua Temple is the most disgusting demon. ”

The monks protect the living beings, and the demons kill the living beings, and the two are the biggest conflict. But just like this man said, Xia Xiao has become a demon, and he is still a wise demon, and he has not been caught for so long, which is enough to prove his strength. And such a guy may not be impossible to take the initiative to face Tanghua Temple.

In the eyes of ordinary people, abnormal people are crazy. But in the eyes of a madman, only oneself is normal, and what to do is always beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"But ......"

"Stop talking nonsense! Shut up the next time you want to come out. ”

The young man had no choice but to close up. But before dusk they began to set up camp, for the night in the moor was particularly terrible, and the hideous scar on the captain's face was left here. Because of it, he can't have an expression other than serious in his life, but it also makes him a veteran, and he walks through the wasteland with full experience!
