Sandstorms ravaged the ruins of the old city of Lotinia, and the sound of sand crackling against the earthen walls was heard like a torrential rain crashing on glass windows.

Under the sand on the ground, many desert zombies in dirty robes and faces like rotting wood slowly crawled out.

The desert zombies followed the wind direction of the sandstorm and walked in groups to the outside of the barren ruined city.

Their babbling and wailing echoed on the avenue leading to the oasis where the dust filled the cold night.

The intermittent wail made the two brothers and sisters of Shan Ju and Shan Hao shudder, and they looked back in horror.

"You're such a brave boy." Yanxi's fingers clenching the Dawning Sword loosened, and she held the hilt weakly, causing her entire palm to sink down.

"Ahh

Suddenly, Yamakoma quickly pushed away Yanxi's Dawn Sword with his hand, and he turned over and pounced, turning his back to Yanxi and trying his best to protect Shan Hao in his arms.

"Kill me if you want to, don't do anything to my brother!" After Shanju said this, he regretted it to death in his heart. Because in his mind, such a thought suddenly flashed:

("Brother! Shan Hao's nose suddenly soured, and he shouted out a friendly name for Shan Hao. ）

If he was really killed by the woman in front of him, what would Shan Hao do in the future? How could he survive in the Northwest camp alone, and if he was bullied, who would stand up to protect him?

Thinking of this, the horse's nose soured.

"It's nice that you have a younger brother." Phew—as soon as she said that, her Dawn armor suddenly dissipated. Leaving Yanxi herself, who stood still with a sad gaze.

“？” Yakoma glanced back at her a little timidly and suspiciously. Seeing that she had lifted the armor transformation, it was enough for the two of them to be safe.

But in her lowered, calm eyes, the anger was still hidden and not dissipated. Shanju could understand that she was a kind of envy, jealousy, and a bit of pitiful anger.

The yellow sand swept across the three of them, stirring their clothes and their black hair swinging in one direction.

"It's so enviable." A slight shabby smile appeared on Yeon-hee's lips. Her empty and indifferent eyes were distinctly moist.

"Huh?" Yamakoma blinked, earnestly observing her face in the night. He swallowed his saliva, listening to the wails of the zombies and the whining of the wind.

"Don't fight, don't fight." Yanxi muttered and repeated this sentence and patted her pants.

She turned and walked back, slowly sitting down around the wind-blown fire.

The sandstorm was coming, and at this moment, the mountain colt hesitated in his heart. He took Shan Hao's hand, took a step forward, and saw Yanxi's lonely, pitiful and depressed back.

“…… Excuse me, who are you? Yamakoma asked, with his face blanked, his chin half open, looking at her back in a calm tone.

As for why the mountain colt didn't hurry away, he suddenly walked up and asked, mostly out of curiosity, and the inexplicable attraction that emanated from her.

"My name is Yanxi, what about you?" Yeon-hi half-twisted her head, and she spoke with that threatening tone. But compared to just now, she is much calmer now.

"Ahh My name is Yamagoma...... Well...... So who the hell are you? Why, you also want to get the Eye of the Desert - is it possible that you have your eye on the Strenhen Project too? ”

Shan Ju almost jumped up excitedly, but fortunately, one hand was held by Shan Hao.

Shan Hao tilted his head to look at him, and then turned his head to look at Yanxi's back, looking nervously.

"I just like it. But after all, it doesn't belong to me after all. I'm just pitying myself for a moment, haha. ”

Yanxi suppressed her voice, she moved a dead branch of burnt ash aimlessly, and then buried her head in earnestly drawing a large circle on the dry ground.

Yamakoma listened to Yeonxi's incomprehensible laughter, and he pondered in her words. It wasn't until his fingers were tugged by Shan Hao that he suddenly came back to his senses.

"So you don't want to grab the Eye of the Desert, do you?" Yamagoma followed the tone of her voice and asked again uncertainly.

"I don't want to, and I will never rob it again." Yeon-taek's answer gave Yamakoma an affirmation.

"Hmm." Listening to the tone of her words, Shanju's heart was inexplicably sour.

Yan Xixi moved her lips, wanting to pour out the words that had been held in her heart for a long time. She suddenly laughed inexplicably, and suddenly held back what she wanted to say.

"So what kind of identity do you have, are you from the camp - from which camp?" The mountain colt looked at her intently and solemnly.

"I'm not from the camp, and I've never been to the camp." Yanxi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she was angry.

"That ......"

"If you ask me again, I'll kill you. Annoying guy, didn't get enough of me punching, did you? ”

Yakoma smiled reluctantly. His lips paused, and he had no choice but to say to her back without saying a word: "Then I won't ask...... Phew, well, don't sit here. Can't you hear it? ”

"What's wrong?" Yanxi replied absentmindedly.

"The sandstorm is coming, why don't you hurry up and find a place to hide?" Shanju glanced at Yanxi a few times, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't mean to get up and leave here.

"Hiding from what?" Yanxi pouted, she looked at the ground in a daze and laughed, it seemed that her back was even more depressed.

"What to hide...... What the hell is going on with you? Sandstorm, don't you understand, our language is obviously the same? Forget it......"

Yamako's eyes were twitching, and he even felt the urge to go up and take her away. When he stopped fantasizing, his impulse disappeared.

A puff of sand and dust struck the ground.

"Brother, Ka-Titicaca, Titicaca......" Shan Hao was just about to speak, when he was suddenly choked on a mouthful of sand, causing him to cough incessantly.

"Poof! Ka, Titicaca, why so much sand, phew! Phew......" The foal waved his arm and fanned wildly.

The sand squinted into his eyes again, and he was uncomfortable; snorting in his nose, not daring to open his nostrils wide to inhale; I also slipped into my mouth a lot, and I could only keep spitting out.

As for Yanxi, she calmly faced the invasion of the sand and dust storm. The sand hit her face, and she shivered in the wind and didn't get up and walk, as if she was one with nature.

"Hey! Aren't you leaving? Get out of here! Yes? Shanju shouted Yanxi.

"If you can't leave, for a person who has lost everything, isn't it still the same despondent wherever he hides?" Yanxi said this ridiculously.

But when she said this, the sound was so loud that the mountain foal didn't hear it at all.

Shan Ju held his arm in front of him, and although it was difficult to braid his direction, he turned to the left with the familiar turn, and pulled Shan Hao's palm to walk forward with difficulty like climbing a snowy mountain.

"Brother, the sandstorm is coming...... Titicaca, Titicaca, go! ”

Facing the risk of being drilled by the sand, Yamakoma turned his head to look at Yanxi again, and found that she was still sitting peacefully on the ground, drawing and playing with a wooden stick in her hand without knowing the danger.

"Huh! Hey, what a tide, I kindly advise you, you go quickly! Dust storm! Shan Hao, let's go...... ...... Titicaca"

Facing the sand, he walked with difficulty, thinking about Yanxi with a palpitation in his heart, and slowly left with Shanhao.

His and Shan Hao's backs disappeared into the dust, and at last only the sound of his shouting could be heard, and the echo of Ula Ula echoed on the oasis.
