Chapter 70: Chu Ye was killed
While observing the surroundings, Hao Wuxuan suddenly tripped over something, staggered two steps forward, and hit Chu Ye's back.
"What's that?" Annoyed, she turned around and kicked the thing out of the sand, and when she looked closely, it was a skull!
Just as she was startled, a fist-sized lizard with a dark red body came out of the sand coldly, revealing a sharp but uneven thin tooth and biting her neck, so fast that she didn't have time to react!
I only heard the sound of the sword coming out of its sheath, and the next second the lizard had been cut in half, lying in the sand, and dark red blood was soaked from its corpse into the yellow sand......
Chu Ye threw away the veil that wiped the blood and put the long sword that had been wiped clean into the sheath.
"It's a blood lizard!" Qin Zhi walked over and took a closer look, his expression told Hao Wuxuan that this strange-looking creature was definitely not easy to mess with.
It is said to be strange because it looks a little different from ordinary lizards, and its tail is very short, like a thin palm leaf. Alone a little bulging, rough skin and thick flesh, the head has red and white markings, and the cheeks have two small fan-like fins. Another point is the length of the legs.
"Blood lizards usually hunt in groups due to their small size......," Qin Zhi glanced around, "Let's leave quickly!" ”
As soon as they left, they heard a clicking sound behind them, and when they turned around, a blood lizard was holding the skull and gnawing on it. In the yellow sand, a large area of blood lizards was constantly drilling out, and suddenly the large sand dunes were flowing dark red, rapidly spreading towards the surrounding area......
"Run!" Chu Ye pulled Hao Wuxuan and ran ahead, Qin Yuxi flew behind him with a whip, and after killing and injuring a large number of people, he urged Qin Zhi to catch up with Qin Zhi and them with a light effort.
But these things were in hot pursuit, and more and more, Qin Zhi seemed to remember something, took out a small gourd from his sleeve, opened the lid of the gourd, and sprinkled some liquid on the ground, and the blood lizards that caught up suddenly stopped, lingering around the wet yellow sand.
"This smell is realgar wine!" Hao Wu said extravagantly, "It turns out that realgar wine can also be used on them!" ”
"That's what I just knew!" Qin Zhi said with a smile.
However, a small gourd of realgar wine could not stop the blood lizards, and they scattered and descended the sand dunes, intending to outflank them from below. Qin Yuxi smashed a group with a few whips, blood and water flew in the sky, and the blood lizards smelled the blood of their kind and climbed faster!
"What should I do?" Qin Zhi asked.
Chu Ye said: "What else can I do, run!" ”
The four of them rushed forward with almost all their strength, and the yellow sand was lifted and fell by their heels, and the blood lizards were like tireless toads, and they were about to catch up with their heels, so they jumped hard, trying to pounce on them to eat meat and drink blood, but they were cut into slices one after another.
I don't know how long I have been running, anyway, Hao Wuxuan is exhausted.
"There is water! There's water up front! She shouted, and with a slump at her feet, she rolled down the dunes and came to rest at the water's edge. Chu Ye and Qin Zhi and Qin Yuxi hurriedly ran down, and were just about to pick up Hao Wuxuan to continue running, but the strange thing was that the blood lizards all stopped a foot away from the water source.
Hao Wuxuan sat up, patted the sand on his body, and his movements gradually slowed down, "Have you noticed that the sand here is a little different from the sand over there?" ”
Qin Yuxi compared it carefully, nodded and said, "The desert where the blood lizard is located is yellow, and the sand here is white, but if you don't look carefully, you can't tell it." ”
"It's like there's their border, and we've crossed it at the moment, so they don't dare to come." Chu Ye said.
Qin Zhi looked at him with great admiration and stretched out his thumb, "I think His Royal Highness King Yin's analysis is particularly reasonable. ”
Qin Yuxi gave him a blank look. But she also felt as if that was the case.
"If that's the case, then there's something scarier than a blood lizard in this realm." Hao Wu said extravagantly, thinking of this, she was a little reluctant.
Chu Ye said, "Not necessarily. ”
Sure enough, Chu Ye was right.
After that, they walked in the desert for seven days and seven nights, unharmed.
However, the dry food had been eaten, there was not a drop of water left, and after walking for so long, they never found a second source of water.
Hao Wu licked her chapped lips extravagantly, looking at the scorching sun above her head, her heart was almost desperate, but looking at Chu Ye beside her, who was as tired and embarrassed as her, but still holding her back, she would accompany him no matter what, even if she buried her life in this desert and buried her white bones under the yellow sand forever.
She slowly took his hand and said, "I can be with you at the last moment of my life, even if it ends like this, I am very happy." ”
Chu Ye smiled and held her hand, "Me too." ”
Qin Zhi and Qin Yuxi walked in front, although they didn't say anything, they could see from their faces that they had no hope of getting out of this desert.
Qin Yuxi suddenly stopped, Qin Zhizheng felt strange, Qin Yuxi made a silent gesture towards him.
Chu Ye and Hao Wuxuan also stopped, seeing that Qin Yuxi was listening carefully, they also listened carefully to the movements around them.
But there is no wind, what sound can you hear?
Hao Wuxuan stepped forward and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Qin Yuxi thought that he had misheard and frowned, but in the next second, his eyebrows widened, and he pulled Hao Wu and ran forward!
"Run! Come on! Qin Zhi shouted.
Chu Ye looked at the sand dunes that were sinking behind him, and then at Hao Wuxuan, who was being pulled forward in front of him, ran a few steps, and rolled down from the sand dunes!
In order to leave the last food and water for Hao Wuxuan, he hadn't eaten for two days, and he had exhausted his last strength in the few steps he had just run.
"Chu Ye! Chu Ye! Hao Wuxuan broke away from Qin Yuxi's hand, and before he could run down, the sand dunes behind him had collapsed, and the yellow sand swept wildly, burying Chu Ye's figure deeply.
"Chu Ye!"
Hao Wu panicked, and was about to run down, but was dragged by Qin Yuxi for a distance, and Qin Zhi also grabbed her and dragged her forward.
Vaguely, a stone house seemed to appear in front of them, and Qin Yuxi and Qin Zhi seemed to see hope, and desperately pulled Hao Wuxuan to run in that direction. The collapse of the sand dunes is like a giant python approaching step by step, and it is about to swallow them, one step at a time...... Two-step ...... The collapse suddenly subsided.
The three of them stood outside the stone house, gasping for breath, both happy and puzzled.
Hao Wu burst into tears, looked at a sinkhole that collapsed behind him, and was about to go inside, but just a few steps away, the sand seemed to be squirming, and he couldn't see what it was. Qin Yuxi hurriedly grabbed her.
"Chu Ye is still inside." Hao Wu said extravagantly.
