This man looked skinny and small, but he ate an astonishing amount of food, and in this meal, he ate almost all but compressed biscuits, and I had to eat compressed biscuits to satisfy my stomach.

I was worried that he hadn't eaten for a long time to become like this, so I kept reminding him not to eat too much at once, but he ignored me and kept eating.

After eating, he quickly fell back into a deep sleep, and I had to carry him again and head towards the next supply point.

Originally, after the last supply point, I thought that I had enough food on my body to spend three days, but after this meal, we were left with less than a day's rations.

No, with his appetite, this food may not be enough for him to eat alone.

When I came to the supply point, it was already night, the old man woke up on my back, after eating and drinking, his strength seemed to have recovered most of his strength, and this time when he woke up, he actually had the strength to raise his hand and pat me on the shoulder, and said to me, "Let me down, I can go." ”

I put him down and went to the cargo rack to collect the food.

He had indeed regained most of his strength, and although his face still looked a little pale, he was able to walk on his own, and he followed me to the cargo rack and asked me again, "Who are you?" ”

I felt that when he asked me this question, his tone and expression were not very friendly.

I stared at him with slanted eyes: "Soul Village, there is a way on the left." ”

"Are you from Soul Village?" He exclaimed, and took a few steps back, as if it was not a man standing in front of him at this time, but a terrifying evil cult.

After he distanced himself from me, he actually shouted again: "When did Yan Xiaotian hook up with your Soul Village!" This traitor! ”

I frowned fiercely: "Since Zhao Dekai started to hook up with the cult, he hooked up with our Soul Village." ”

Hearing me say this, the old man's expression became a little complicated.

At this time, I felt an indescribable disgust for the old man in front of me, so I put away the food and water, and said to him, "You people from Baiwu Mountain must have heard of me. I heard that Zhao Dekai is the first inheritance of your Baiwu Mountain, but unfortunately he is not my opponent. So, you'd better be respectful when you talk to me. ”

He seemed to feel that he had lost face, gave me a very annoyed look, and said, "Otherwise? ”

I pulled the green steel sword out of its scabbard: "I can save you, and I can kill you!" ”

This person is obviously a master who eats hard rather than soft, and when he saw me draw his sword, he flinched a little: "Aren't you Yan Xiaotian's friend, didn't he let you ...... Come and save me? ”

I said, "Yan Xiaotian invited me here for something else, you were just saved by me." I don't expect you to remember my kindness, as long as you don't become a moth. Now, Zhao Dekai probably already knows that you have been rescued, he will definitely send people all over the world to find you, if you want to live, just cooperate with me, otherwise I will kill you now, anyway, without your burden, I can go out myself. ”

He stared at me for a long time, and then suddenly asked me without a trace, "Why did you save me?" ”

I wouldn't tell him that I saved him because I couldn't see death without saving him, but I just told him, "Because I think you might be useful." ”

He looked a little smug: "Useful? Do you think I can show you the way and take you out of the Loess Slope? ”

I gave him a disdainful smile: "What do you think." Although I am not familiar with the roads here, as long as I am not a burden like you, I can leave safely. I kept you to deal with Zhao Dekai. I think if he's going to kill you, it's probably because you know so much. ”

The character of the person in front of him, how to say it, can't say that he will take revenge, but at least he will repay virtue with resentment. Such a person and Zhao Dekai should have the same smell, I don't believe that when Zhao Dekai controlled Baiwu Mountain, he did not belong to Zhao Dekai. But why did Zhao Dekai kill him, not because there was a conflict of interests, or because he knew too much about Zhao Dekai's affairs and had to get rid of him.

And one thing is certain, that is, he should have no use value for Zhao Dekai today, at least not much.

After saying this, I kept staring into his eyes, and after a moment of staring at me, he finally lowered his head silently.

Looks like I guessed right.

When he left the supply point, I gave him two choices, either follow me, or stay here and wait for Zhao Dekai's men to come.

He hesitated, but eventually followed me.

A few hours later, I felt that Zhao Dekai's men should have started to conduct a search, and abnormal conditions began to appear on the road.

When I passed a ravine, I found that the ravine was sprinkled with thick sand, and when I stepped on it, I would leave a clear footprint. I could only take the annoying old man around the ravine and find another way forward.

On the way, I also saw some dead trees with new talismans pasted on them, and I had never seen the sigils on these talismans.

We kept taking detours, dodging the strange ornaments on the road, and from time to time we used our compass to correct the direction and headed toward the side of the road.

I calculated the time, and if Liang Hou carried them fast enough, he should be halfway back to the road.

Along the way, I never talked to the old man who was following me, I didn't want to pay attention to him, he wanted to talk to me several times, but I gave him a disdainful look every time, and he was probably afraid that he would be bored, so he kept his mouth shut.

And at mealtime, I also rationed the food I gave him, and now we have to save food and we can't risk going to the supply point anymore.

Fortunately, he only ate a lot of food in the first meal, and the amount of food in the rest was about the same as that of ordinary people, or even a little smaller, and he often couldn't finish the food I gave him.

I didn't trust him, and he didn't trust me, and we didn't dare to sleep for nearly two days in a row, just kept making detours and hurrying.

Later, he probably couldn't hold on anymore, and regardless of my attitude of ignoring him, he came over and said to me: "It can't go on like this, even if Zhao Dekai can't find us, we will be trapped and tired to death." ”

I looked at the loess mound in the distance and shook my head: "If you want to rest, you can sleep here, but I won't wait for you." The people who are looking for Zhao Dekai have started to hunt you down now, you haven't slept for two days, as long as you fall asleep, you will never wake up, even if Zhao Dekai's people come, you will not wake up. ”

With that, I moved on, sighing behind me, but still keeping up with me.

Nowadays, there are more and more abnormal conditions on the road, but Zhao Dekai's people have not shown up. I don't know what they're trying to do, but I know that if we take a detour every time we see something abnormal, we'll only get farther and farther, and we'll never get out of this loess slope.

In the early morning of the third day, the wind and sand rose on the loess slope again, and I stood on a high hard mound, looking in the direction of the road, and I had not slept for several years, and my mood had become very irritable, and the yellow sand slapped on my face with the wind, which made me a little more angry for no reason.

We have already deviated from the nearest road, and now it will take at least two days or so to get out of the Loess Slope, but I am almost unable to bear it.

At the same time, I have a feeling that the reason why Zhao Dekai made so many arrangements on the road seems to be to drive us in a certain direction, he doesn't know who robbed his death row prisoner, nor does he know the strength and means of that person, so he chooses to wait for work and guide me to the trap he laid.

0 When I walked down from the hard mound, I found the annoying old man squatting on the ground dozing off, I went up and kicked him: "Wake up! ”

He had been driven crazy by the long lack of sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he stared at me with a very irritated look.

I ignored him, just waved and said, "Go!" ”。

I don't think he wants to go with me anymore, but he doesn't have a choice, and if he leaves me, he loses all his food and water.

He hesitated for a while, as he had done the previous times, but eventually followed.

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped, and I could hear the footsteps behind him stop.

I turned my head to look at him, but he frowned, looked at a mound far away from here, and said, "That place is Jiang Bin's territory." Oh, I said why did I only see sand and spirit runes along the way, but I didn't see anyone, Zhao Dekai wanted to drive us to Jiang Bin. ”

It can be heard that he is afraid of Jiang Bin.

I pointed to the mound in the distance and asked him, "Is that the mound you talking about?" ”

He immediately nodded: "Jiang Bin dug a cave there, and he and his people are inside." You don't know, although Jiang Bin is a casual cultivator, but his cultivation is no worse than that of a famous person, he has a technique of listening to the ground, and he can detect the wind and grass ten miles away, when the time comes, as long as we enter his realm, we will definitely be discovered by him. ”

Aware of the wind and grass ten miles away? I don't believe this kind of thing, if Jiang Bin has refined his ears and eyes like the people of the old Huang family, I believe he can see things ten miles away. But the magic thing, to put it bluntly, is the use of the Qi field, and the "wind and grass" in the old man's mouth is probably also referring to the change of the Qi field.

In other words, Jiang Bin can use a special technique to detect changes in the Qi field ten miles away, and it is very likely that even the slightest changes can be perceived.

I stared at the mound in the distance for a while, and asked the old man beside me, "Is there any other way to get around the mound in front of me?" ”

The old man said, "I can't get around, next to this mound, there is either a cliff or a deep ravine, and there is no way to walk." Unless you walk an extra hundred kilometers and take a detour to the west. ”

Except for the cliffs are deep ravines? Cliffs and deep ravines can't be walked?

I opened my backpack and looked at it, and there was a steel cable in the bag, and with this thing, it shouldn't be a problem to climb the cliff.

I asked the old man if there was a relatively low cliff near the mound that was easier to climb, and the old man thought about it and said that there was one directly north of the mound, and beyond that cliff was a flat road of twenty miles.

He feared that Jiang Bin's men would lay in ambush near the cliff.

The mound can't be walked, and I'm worried that there is an ambush on the cliff, so I'll wait here to die. In the current situation, there is not much point in looking ahead too much.

I said that I would go to the other side of the cliff and let the old man lead the way, but he asked me what if Jiang Bin led someone to guard there.
