Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Trip to the Desert
"Hello, a total of 30 Purple Spirit Coins. The woman quickly packed the map and two sunshade cloaks, and looked at the cultivator with a standard smile.
He paid the money neatly, and Xiu Ling took the map and the sunshade cloak, because he knew that there was no point in hesitating, so he still took the initiative to do well, otherwise, he would suffer.
Looking at Xiuling's satisfactory move, the corners of Chenxi's mouth raised slightly, showing a satisfied expression, so, he asked Xiuling to ask for directions, found a restaurant, and the two of them had a beautiful meal, but when the bill was finally paid, the amazing price made Xiuling very sad, but fortunately, he still had a lot of money on him......
The two spent the night in a hostel, of course, they rented two rooms, and the rent was also paid by Xiu Ling alone, with the idea of whether he could find reimbursement from the college, Xiu Ling fell asleep.
Early the next morning, after Chenxi and Xiuling had breakfast, they went to buy a lot of water resources and some fruits, but the price really made Xiuling's head big, and after these were ready, the two set off.
The vast desert, golden sand, is the only main tone here, the wind carries the sand, sweeping the heaven and the earth, the wind howls, endlessly.
On the top of a sand dune, Xiu Ling, wearing the wide sunshade cloak, was frowning and looking at the map in his hand, entering this big desert, it has been more than half a day, and after this half a day of walking, the two of them are also close to the destination, but since entering the scope of the mission, Xiu Ling has searched for a long time, and still has not found any traces of the ruins mentioned in the mission.
"Why not? We can't be on the wrong path, right?" Xiu Ling raised the sheepskin map in his hand, looked at Chen Xi, who was also clueless, and frowned and smiled bitterly.
"This... I don't know, the terrain around here is no different from anywhere else, and I don't feel where there are any ruins. Hearing Xiu Ling's words, Na Chenxi's eyes were a little evasive, and even his speech was a little unsmooth.
"If this map is okay... There should probably be no traces of ruins here..."Shaking his head, Xiu Ling sighed.
"Perhaps. ”
"Alas... Really, I walked for most of the day in vain. Waving the sheepskin map fiercely, Xiu Ling said depressedly.
"Well, it's not in vain, at least in the past half of the day, you have almost adapted to the environment here, aren't you......" Chenxi on the side didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, so he smiled and comforted.
Hearing this, Xiu Ling suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and his mind was thinking, this woman didn't want to leave me here alone. He glanced at Na Chenxi with some concern, pointed to the sign of the mission location on the map, and muttered: "Look for it again, after all, this sign is so big, and the scope is not small, and we are not familiar with the environment and terrain here, so naturally we have to spend more time looking for it, otherwise we will miss it... Then you can't regret dying?"
"Well, that's a lot of fun... Well, let's look for it again. Chenxi also glanced at the sign of the mission location, frowned slightly, and then nodded.
With a wry smile, Xiu Ling secretly looked at Chenxi again, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was overly worried, sighed again, and then raised his feet to walk towards the sea of sand in his sight.
Under the scorching sun, Xiu Ling walked sweating profusely for nearly half an hour again, and just when he was about to stop and rest, Xiu Ling found one thing, that is, there seemed to be one person missing, looking left and right, he found a thing that made him a headache, that is, Chenxi was gone, yes, gone, quietly gone, didn't he say that he was going to do the task together, how could he be gone like this, just when Xiu Ling was indignant, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a line of Junxiu characters on his left sleeve, " Little brother, my sister really can't stand the heat, so I'll go back first, by the way, I'll get all your money for you, I'll wait for you in that hotel!"
"Whew-" With a long sigh of relief, Xiu Ling patted his chest, "Can't be angry, can't be angry, isn't it just to leave me, isn't it just to take away all my money...... No, ah, it's so angry~"
So, in the desert, Xiu Ling was alone looking for the destination, but obviously, it was not easy to find, and another half an hour passed, he slowly sat under a poplar to rest, and after a while, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and looked at the sand dunes not far away, where a figure was fleeing in great embarrassment, and when he went down the dune, one was unstable, and rolled down the sand directly.
Frowning slightly, looking at the figure that rolled down all the way and finally rolled not far in front of him, Xiu Ling shook his head helplessly, stepped forward, took out a bag of water from the storage ring that Ji Lao gave him, and then poured it on the man's face.
Stimulated by the water source, the man who fell into a coma gradually opened his eyes, looked at the cultivator who appeared in front of him, was startled at first, and was relieved after finding that he had no bad intentions.
Glancing at the man lightly, Xiu Ling casually took out two or three bottles of water from the storage ring, then threw them beside the man, turned around and left.
In the bottom of my heart, I never thought that I was a bad person with the heart of a bodhisattva, and meeting a wounded stranger in this desert can give him some water, which is the biggest bottom line, if you still want him to set off to escort you all the way out of the desert, then I can only be sorry...
"Little brother..."Looking at the cultivator who turned around and walked without dragging the mud and water, the man was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said hoarsely: "Little brother, please stay, our mercenary team has been attacked by the lizard monster, and now it is in a life-and-death situation, please let the little brother go and ask for help!"
"Sorry, I don't have time. ”
Without looking back, Xiu Ling raised his hand and said lightly, this can't be blamed for his indifference, there are countless people dying every day in this world, does anyone have to help move the rescue soldiers by themselves? Since he is a mercenary in this great desert, he should naturally have the consciousness of this kind of fate.
"Little brother!"
Seeing the cultivator who was gradually walking away, the man gritted his teeth and squirmed, shouting with all his might: "Little brother, please help, if the team can be rescued, our mercenary group will definitely reward you with a lot of money!"
The man's shout fell, but the young man in the distance, who was about to disappear into the wind and sand, suddenly paused, and after an instant, he turned around and walked back, coming to him under the man's ecstatic gaze.
"Heavy money?" Xiu Ling blinked, his dark eyes revealing a little excitement......
"Yes... Seeing this, the man also couldn't hold the preference for spiritual cultivation, and even prepared to be opened by his lion, after all, in this case, he had to reply like this.
"How many...?"
"I don't know how much the little brother wants...?" the man said cautiously, licking his dry lips.
"Oh... Not much, 10 gold spirit coins......" The man listened, thinking that he had heard it wrong, "10 gold spirit coins?"
"Yes, 10 gold spirit coins. Seeing Xiu Ling nodding slightly, the man's face suddenly burst with excitement, "Don't talk about 10 gold spirit coins, as long as you help with this, little brother, 100 gold spirit coins are no problem." ”
"100?" Hearing this, the smile on Xiuling's face softened a lot, and he actually squatted down, looked at the injury on the man's thigh with his fingers, and then threw him a pill: "Eat it, first detoxify this lizard." ”
"Thank you, little brother. Hurriedly taking the pill, the man said gratefully, and swallowed it into his stomach.
"This is a healing medicine, apply it yourself, it shouldn't be a big deal, after applying it, take me to your mercenary team." Xiuling took out a small bottle of healing medicine from the ring and threw it to the man again, then stood up, clapped his hands, and smiled.
"Uh, where are you going?" Hearing this, the man was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Little brother, that's not good, there are eight lizardmonsters besieging our team, and three of them are from the Double Spirit Realm!"
"Little brother, you better hurry up to Xicheng to help us inform the mercenary group, the head of the group will come over immediately, it's not far from here!" the man said bitterly.
"Hurry up and apply the medicine, and then lead the way, I can do this, naturally I am sure, otherwise when they bring people over, your people will die." A light kick on the man's thigh, Xiu Ling rolled his eyes and urged.
Listening to the words of the cultivator, the man looked at the former again suspiciously, wearing a black sunshade cloak, immature face, invisible aura... All of these made the man unable to figure out what strength the young man in front of him was.
With a wry smile, the man applied the healing medicine to his thighs, then stood up with a little trembling, pointed his finger to the sand dunes, and said, "It's not far over there." ”
Glancing at the sand dunes, Xiu Ling nodded slightly, grabbed the man's arm, and the spiritual power of the soles of his feet surged, rushing out with the speed of the man who was like a ghost, and on the sand surface, there was no trace left, and Xiu Ling and the man's figure had already rushed up to the sand dune.
Climbing up the sand dunes, Xiu Ling swept a distance like lightning again, and finally stopped on a towering sand surface, threw the stunned man in his hand to the ground, and took a step forward, looking at the large pile of people who appeared in the desert below.
In the desert below, more than a dozen mercenaries were facing backs with weapons in their hands, and around them, eight strange-looking creatures were surrounding them, these creatures had human heads and human bodies, but on their backs, there was a huge lizard's tail, and the lizard's tail flicked and made a snorting sound, which made people feel a little chilled.
"Are these the lizardmen of the Great Desert?" his gaze swept over the eight male lizardmen, and Xiu Ling exclaimed, a little eye-opening, this was the first time he had seen such a creature.
"Little brother... My lord, they are a team of our mercenary group, originally we were going to hunt spirit beasts, but we didn't expect to be attacked by these guys..."His eyes swept over the back of Xiu Ling in awe, and the speed he showed before had already let this man know that the young man in front of him, who seemed to be not very old, was a strong man who was deeply hidden.
"Hmm. Nodding slightly, Xiu Ling's gaze swept over the ten mercenaries again, ten mercenaries, eight men and two women, glanced at them, and finally stopped at a slender shadow.
The devil's fiery figure, long wavy hair, and slender thighs wearing an ultra-short leather skirt show off the perfect figure.
"Kill them and leave the women!"
A leading lizardman, his eyes swept over the woman, his voice hoarse and a little obscene.
Hearing the leader's order, the faces of several lizardmen around him suddenly swelled with bloodlust, and their mouths opened slightly, revealing sharp teeth.
"Everyone be careful, Li Bao has already gone back to ask for help, as long as we hold on for a while, we can be saved!" Seeing the lizardman's actions, the sexy woman pursed her rosy lips and shouted in a cold voice.
Hearing this, the surrounding mercenaries were also slightly excited, but the palm that held the weapon tightly was still full of sweat, the highest level on their side was only about the first spirit realm, but the other party was several people from the double spirit realm, this kind of gap... I wonder if I can make it to the arrival of reinforcements?
"Kill!" the leader of the lizardmen sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the lizardmen who were eyeing him around him suddenly slaughtered the mercenaries in the middle with a hideous face.
"Whew!"
Just as the lizardmen began to attack, a sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded in the sky, and a black shadow suddenly crossed the sky, and finally like a black lightning, it slammed into the gap between the lizardmen and the mercenary.
The yellow sand in the sky gradually flew away, and a thin back in a black sun-covering cloak slowly appeared in the sight of the mercenary and the lizardman......
