Text Preface 04
Xiao Si has been away from the deserted village for more than a month.
At this time, Xiao Si and a large group of people were walking on a grassland.
It's also strange to say, this is obviously a middle region famous for drought, but in a desert, there is a grassland. And the color of the grass in this grassland is as red as the desert...... It is redder than the autumn leaves of the desert, and it can be said that it is blood red. Looking at this endless blood-red grassland, Xiao Si's heart felt a sense of unease.
A few days ago, he and his eldest brother Lin went to a nearby town to sign up for this expedition. And the organizer did not hesitate to see someone sign up, and gave them five kilograms of food in a grand manner, Lin Yi took the five kilograms of food back to the deserted village, and Xiao Si followed the organizers on the road of exploration.
The expedition team was very large, and there were about a hundred or so participants who were about the same level as himself and were about the first level of fifth-order cultivation, and they were not very old. There was food on the expedition, and even the organizers of so many people were always able to come up with enough food.
Organizers, Xiao Si can't see through them...... There were fifteen people involved in the expedition, and their clothes were made of much better material than the other participants. And they all had a scarf tied to their faces, and no one else could see what they looked like.
They don't talk much to the people who signed up for the expedition for the five kilograms of food, and even if someone asks them where they're going, they don't say anything you don't know, and you know what you know.
Seeing them like this, Xiao Si couldn't help but worry about the future of their expedition! After arriving at this blood-red grassland, Xiao Si's uneasy feeling became more and more intense.
"So this is the grassland!"
"It was also the first time I had seen a real prairie. ”
"I didn't expect there to be a grassland in such a desolate place in the Middle Regions. ”
"Alas, the grass is red! ”
"Yes, yes, although there is no grass in the Middle Domain, I also know that the grass should be green, but the grass is red. ”
"Maybe it's because of the special climate in the Middle Regions. ”
Those who signed up for the expedition were also excited to see such a grassland for the first time.
"Is this blood-red grassland really just because of the special climate in the Central Region?" Xiao Si was not as excited as the others, and his heart was more uneasy.
......
Not long after entering the grassland, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone set up camp to rest......
Looking at the dark sky, Xiao Si's uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, if the time with the highest chance of encountering danger on an expedition is at night.
"Alas, boy, you seem to be in a bad mood!"
At night, everyone rested around the fire, and the person next to him saw that Xiao Si's expression was not very good, so it was like he was talking.
"Alas, is it so obvious?" Although he was very uneasy in his heart, Xiao Si was really reluctant to say what he thought in his heart, after all, everyone had received the food of the organizers, and it would be bad if he said that people were panicked, so Xiao Si casually made up a reason, "It's the first time I'm so far away from home, I'm a little homesick." ”
"That's it!"
Xiao Si said it very seriously, and the person next to him also believed it.
"Are your mom and dad nice to you?" the man asked.
"Huh?" Xiao Si was stunned, "I don't have parents, so I live with my brothers and sisters." ”
Brothers and sisters, naturally refer to Lin Yi, Li Er and Zhou Shan.
"I'm sorry. ”
"It's nothing ......"
"Actually, I don't have parents ......either," the man looked up at the sky, "I only have an old grandfather, and we don't have enough to eat a few meals a year, and for the five kilograms of food, I signed up for this expedition despite his objections......"
Xiao Si also lay down on his back and looked at the sky, he suddenly felt that the young people who were willing to sign up for this expedition were actually not very good in the family environment, and they all participated in this expedition for the talents they valued......
"No matter what dangers this expedition may experience, I must return alive, because there are people waiting for me to go back at home!"
When Xiao Si thought about this, Zhou Shan, Lin Yi and Li Yi flashed in his mind......
"Roar!"
Suddenly, there was a loud roar in the distance.
"It's!"
was lying on the ground and closing his eyes to recuperate, but with this roar, Xiao Si sat up as soon as he shook his head.
"What's this voice?"
"Beasts?"
"It's kind of scary!"
It wasn't just Xiao Si who was alerted because of this roar, everyone's faces became serious.
"Hurry up, be on alert!"
One of the organizers began to call the shots......
"These guys, did you expect such a situation?" Looking at their appearance, such a thought flashed through Xiao Si's mind...... These guys are hiding such an important thing.
But there's nothing wrong with thinking about them being hidden, after all, if you talk about it, the people who sign up for the expedition will be halfway through.
Everyone stood guard in a circle, and the organizers naturally hid in the middle of the circle.
"What kind of beast is it?"
"I don't know, but it seems like a big guy to hear from this voice!"
"What's the matter if it's everyone, are so many of us still afraid that they won't make it!"
Although he said that, Xiao Si could hear that the person's voice was trembling a little, indicating that he was still a little scared.
Xiao Si put his ears on the ground and listened carefully.
"Something is approaching, more than one......"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
A jumble of footsteps approached from all directions.
"Roar!"
In a moment, dozens of black-haired wolves with blue eyes surrounded everyone.
"Hoo ......"
The wolves just surrounded them and stared at them coldly, and although they seemed to be eager to pounce on them immediately, they seemed to hold back.
"Isn't it just a few little wolves!
A guy who thought he was powerful pulled out his dagger and rushed towards a wolf.
"Danger!"
Xiao Si shouted, although it was the first time he had seen these wolves, but he felt a dangerous aura from these, these guys were definitely not something that a guy of their level could deal with!
"Ahh
But Xiao Si's reminder was too late after all...... One of the young man's arms had been bitten off by a wolf......
He quickly retreated into the crowd holding his severed arm, but the wolves still cared about their large number of people after all, and did not pursue them.
"It's not good!"
Xiao Si stepped forward to support the injured young man, and tore off a piece of cloth to wrap his wounds...... It didn't stop the pain, but at least it stopped the bleeding.
"It's okay!" Xiao Si said with concern.
"Can't die......" The injured man barely managed to stand still.
Looking at the hungry eyes of the wolves, Xiao Si thought quickly, hoping to come up with some solution, but Xiao Si had only seen these wolves for the first time and didn't know much about them, so he didn't know how to deal with them......
"Listen up, everyone!
It was one of the organizers who spoke.
"Divided into four ways? Is this really good?" Xiao Si had such a doubt in his heart, after all, the reason why these wolves didn't dare to rush up was because they were afraid that there were many of them, and when they were divided into four ways, would it really be okay like this?
But they are organizers after all, maybe they know something about these wolves, maybe they are doing the right thing......
"Next, count three to me, and run in four directions, south, east, west, and west!"
Xiao Si rolled his eyes, it's all this time, who can tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest......
"Three!"
The organizers didn't care whether the others agreed or not, and just counted them.
"Two!"
"One!"
"Run!"
The last number fell, and I don't know who shouted, and everyone ran away.
Xiao Si also ran away, but he carried the young man with the broken hand on his back, after all, he was injured, and Xiao Si was a little relieved of him.
"Oh woo!"
In the face of the people who suddenly scattered and ran away, the wolves were also confused, after all, they were not human beings and their IQ was limited.
The crowd also rushed out of the encirclement of the wolves when they were stunned......
"Woo......"
"Roar!"
It took a while for the wolves to react, and together they let out a roar of rage.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The wolves didn't talk nonsense, and chased them directly in one direction...... And this direction is the direction that Xiao Si ran to.
Xiao Si has a certain amount of cultivation, and it is not very difficult to run on his back, and there are twenty young people running in the same direction as him, counting Xiao Si and the injured young man on his back, there are a total of twenty-two people.
"These footsteps are ......"
Xiao Si ran while paying attention to the footsteps behind him, these sounds seemed to be all the wolves chasing this way.
Xiao Si looked around again, but none of the organizers followed......
Did they expect this? Xiao Si thought as he ran, why did the wolves all come this way?, but Xiao Si quickly got an answer, because he smelled a faint smell of blood in the air...... It was the man who was wounded on his back, and the wolves followed the smell of blood.
"Damn, did those guys know that this is why they let us run apart?" Xiao Si figured it out, and those organizers knew that if everyone ran separately, the wolves would chase after them in the direction of the smell of blood.
"Let me go!" said the man on Xiao Si's back in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
"As you guessed, these wolves are chasing after me with the smell of blood...... If you continue like this, you'll be caught up ......"
"No! I won't leave you!
"Poof......
As soon as Xiao Si finished speaking, he felt as if his foot had tripped over something, and his whole body lost his balance and fell to the ground hard.
"What the hell ......"
Xiao Si looked in the direction where he had tripped up, and saw something like a tree root sticking out of the ground...... But there are no shrubs around!
"Click......
Because Xiao Si fell, the person who was injured on Xiao Si's back also fell out...... He stood up and walked slowly in the direction the wolves had come......
"You!"
"You want to live......" The man glanced back at Xiao Si and smiled slightly.
"I'm here!
The man ran in a direction where no one was around......
Xiao Si looked at the young man whose name he didn't know yet, and felt how tall his back was......
