Chapter 9: Old Dreams
Night, a dark night with no end.
Hungry desert wolves, their eyes are turquoise, like grains of ghost fire, flickering in the endless yellow sand.
There were already many wolf corpses lying on the ground, and the smell of blood was permeating, but the remaining wolves were not reconciled, wandering and howling from afar, unwilling to give up the delicious food that was about to arrive.
The bruised boy lay on his stomach on the dirty sand, his eyes and mouth full of sand, dying, and he felt the blood flowing from the wound that had been bitten.
The sand is a man, but he can no longer feel the pain, the bloody body has long numbed his pain, his hand is still dripping blood, but he no longer has the strength to get up.
He felt like he was going to die, and this premonition made him want to laugh, he thought it was ridiculous. He had imagined various ways to die for himself, but he never thought that he would be killed by wolves. He was unwilling, so he didn't want to die. He gritted his teeth and squeezed the sword in his hand hard, and he roughly ordered himself to stand up in his mind.
The wolves lost their patience to wait, and after wandering for a while, the head wolf seemed to understand that the prey that had fallen to the ground had reached the end of his rope, and that it was impossible for him to get up again or kill them again. So it craned its neck and howled loudly at the sky.
This is the order to go on the offensive.
After hearing the wolf's howl, the boy's heart was cold, no matter how he ordered himself, the seriously injured body just didn't listen to him, and worse, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and he felt that he was going to die.
He clenched his teeth, and in the midst of thousands of unwillingness, the reality of his serious physical injury made him almost admit his fate.
However, the wolves did not attack.
He heard the wolf king let out a short wary howl.
This is an alarm that there is an invasion of outsiders.
The wolves immediately fell into a state of readiness.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and struggled to raise his head and look ahead.
The clouds in the sky began to move, and a bright stream of moonlight poured down, illuminating the valley of sand, and the boy finally saw the hungry wolves and the dead wolf corpses, as well as the people coming from afar.
Girl, girl in red, lonely girl.
The blood flowing from the wound on his head blurred the young man's vision, and he only felt that the girl was as white as snow, her skirt was as white as blood, and her appearance was extremely beautiful.
He didn't know who she was, and he didn't know why he didn't think it was terrible for a girl in red to suddenly appear in the desert at night, he was just a little anxious, he was worried that the wolves would hurt her, he wanted to tell her to run away, but he couldn't speak.
Surprisingly, the wolves did not go to kill the girl, and they began to be restless. The girl walked slowly, but the wolves seemed to smell some danger, and stepped back, letting out a low warning howl from their throats.
The girl didn't heed the warnings of the wolves, and she walked unhurriedly towards the boy.
The wolf king looked at the girl, and then looked at the dying boy behind him, unwilling to give up the food that was about to arrive, when the girl was about to approach the boy, the wolf king who was regressing step by step finally decided not to retreat, it decided to launch a fierce attack, without warning, jumped up, and pounced on the girl's weak body!
The boy was so shocked that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
In the next scene, the boy's heart, which almost jumped out of his throat, completely jumped out and landed on the sand.
The snow-white palm of the expressionless girl turned slightly, and her slender fingertips were like a bayonet, and she snorted through the wolf's body!
The wolf king let out a terrible howl, and the wolf blood that spurted out when he was pierced through his body splashed on the face of the young man behind him, which was still warm.
A powerful mystical force rushed towards him, making the young man frightened.
That girl, the girl who looked very young, turned out to be a fourth-layer martial artist!
The girl withdrew her hand from the wolf's body like a sword, and the wolf king's body was thrown to the ground, and the boy saw the girl's eyes clearly.
His heart was pounding.
Under the moonlit night, in the desert, the girl's bright red eyes are like the purest ruby, shining and clear, bright and moving.
The wolves who lost the wolf king suddenly lost their combat effectiveness and fled in all directions because of the violent aura of wild beasts that suddenly burst out from the girl's body.
The girl didn't care, she squatted down in front of the boy.
The boy had probably forgotten to be afraid, and for some reason, he felt that the girl was looking at him with curious eyes, which made his heart beat so fast that he was numb all over his body and was about to faint with his breathing disorders. He tried to open his eyes, which were squinted from the constant bleeding, he wanted to see her more closely, he wanted to see and remember what she looked like.
Unfortunately, his efforts drained the last bit of life he had left, and before he could get a close look at the girl's face, the person passed out from excessive blood loss.
In the moment of complete darkness, he only remembered the taste of the maiden - the smell of blood.
Shen Run woke up from his dream, and the scorching sunlight shone in through the car window, shining on his eyebrows, making him tighten his eyebrows. He was exhausted, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death battle.
He settled down, and finally remembered that the convoy had arrived at Moyang Pass, which was why it was so hot, because the weather was too hot, so he had that dream again.
There seemed to be a strong smell of blood in his mouth, and he felt nauseous, poured half a cup of tea, rinsed it, and felt even more disgusting. He dropped the teacup, leaned back on the soft pillow, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and rubbed his brow with his hand.
It was too long ago, and sometimes he even thought it was a dream, but after seriously remembering it, he knew that it was not a dream, it was real.
The cold girl in the red dress, the girl with the four-layer martial honor, the girl with bright red pupils, like a beautiful monster, every time he thinks about it, it makes him feel like he can't breathe.
Shen Run leaned on the soft pillow, was stunned for a while, suddenly put his hand into his arms, took out a bright and bright ruby, put it in the palm of his hand, looked at it quietly for a while, and gently rubbed it with his thumb.
This gem is pure and bright, bright red as blood, and under the sunlight it forms a starlight, shining brightly, like the red pupils of the girl......
After passing the Moyang Pass, the welcoming team abandoned the horse and replaced the camel.
Feng Yingguo sent a reception envoy Luo Song to greet him at the entrance of the desert, bringing Long Xiguo's welcoming team into the desert.
Luo Song has just turned thirty, a typical Fengming country looks good, delicate and gentle, weak and windy, but very heat-resistant.
Many people in Longxi Kingdom are entering the desert for the first time, and the drought and heat make them miserable, but fortunately, the water and dry food are ready, and the unique sunshade tools brought by Luo Song are installed on the camels, and a few people have not adapted to the water and soil and have also taken the medicine brought from the Feng Netherworld, and the road is quite smooth.
Shen Run admired Luo Song's thoughtful ability very much, and once summoned him to talk a few words about the current situation of Feng Ming Kingdom, Luo Song smiled, although there were questions and answers, but Shen Run always felt that he had reservations, so he sent Qin Shuo to make friends with Luo Song in private, but he didn't find any important news, such as about the Chenghuai Hill Mining Group.
Qin Shuo inquired about it, and the eldest princess of the Feng Ming Kingdom, who was about to marry her Royal Highness, was a beauty who captivated the country and the city, and Bai Wanning, the first beauty in the world, was not even worthy of lifting shoes in front of the eldest princess of the Feng Ming Kingdom.
This was said by Luo Song, Qin Shuo didn't dare to tell Shen Run that he didn't want to die yet.
