Not long after rushing out of the village, the hard mud was gone, and the horses' hooves sank into the sand and they couldn't run fast. When they came to Dune Village, the two of them could still ride their horses slowly and leisurely, but now they made Fern sweat profusely. And they have not yet replenished the village with enough water, and the horses are no better than the camels in the desert, and it is tantamount to suicide to rush out of the village without being fully prepared.

But Fern didn't have a choice, he was caught off guard by the demon's surprise attack, he didn't expect the demon to follow them here, let alone the number of demons that followed them so much.

Fern looked forward and saw that there was not a single tree in the entire desert, no place to hide, and as far as the eye could see, there were only a few groups of travelers fleeing in groups and travelers running alone. And the constant pressure from all sides made him no longer waste time, which made him anxious, and he had no chance to shake off the demon on a plain.

Fern unfastened the two water bladders from his belt and handed them to Queai, which he had filled in the tavern kitchen. "Take Quiai and follow the travelers eastward to the Pilatus Mountains. ”

"What are you going to do, Fern!" Queai realized something was wrong, but couldn't guess what Fern was trying to do.

"We'll have to run separately, or no one will be able to escape. Fern said as he tossed another package onto Queay's horse. "Tie this to a horse, the more like a person, the better. ”

"No!Fern, I don't want to run away alone, I'm going to go with you!" Quiai grabbed Fern's hand.

"Don't be stupid, so that we can have a chance to live, and when you reach the Pilatus Mountains, I will be waiting for you at the Seven Gods Falls, or you will wait for ......me at the Seven Gods Falls," Fern pulled his hand back. "Or you can go straight over the Pilatus Mountains to the Eastern Continent. ”

"What? I won't go to the East Continent if I die!" Quiai pulled the reins and pressed against Ferne. "You don't want to dump me!"

"It's not like I'm dumping you!" Fern was about to get into a frenzy, and they had caught up with a group of travelers, and the poor group of poor men had not even had time to ride their horses, and ran out with their luggage on their backs. "Remember, Shichigami Falls!"

"Don't you think about it...... Ahh "Stop, Fern!"

There was a messy shout of denunciation from the ranks. "Look at this negative man, he pushed his woman down and ran away, is this still a man?"

Another man's voice rang out. "Girl, you can run with us, we people still have some ability, go to the Eastern Continent with us, anyway, Wallis is almost finished, I don't think that guy can run far, sooner or later he will die in the desert." ”

Quiai didn't speak, and now all she could do was follow Fern's words and go to the Seven Gods Falls to make peace with him, she was more worried about Fern than her current situation. Her water bladder fell to the ground in the kitchen after seeing the demon, and Fern gave her both of his water bladders, so now Fern must have very little water on his body, so how can he get out of the desert? Not to mention that the demon is still tracking around, it is still a question of whether Fern can escape from here.

Thinking of this, Quiai was anxious to chase after Fern, but as soon as he raised his foot, there was a messy sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the demon was coming! Everyone in the team felt a breathtaking sense of oppression, and it took all their strength to take a step, and even the strength to shout was lost, and Quiai was no exception, everyone lowered their heads and walked forward step by step.

Several demons rode around the group, their eyes sweeping over the lamb-to-slaughter travelers, as if searching for something. One of the demons drew his sword and led his mount slowly to the left side of the crowd, no one dared to raise their heads, they didn't even have the slightest desire to resist, only fear was left in their hearts, and it was better to die a happy death than now.

The demon moved to Quiai's side, and the girl trembled with fear, her hood completely covering her face, but tears dripping from her hood. The demon suddenly stopped, the stench of decay reaching Quiai's nose, and the sound of heavy gasps was like the straightening of ropes on the gallows, making Quiai nearly collapse.

Just as Kwai's legs were weak and he was about to fall to his knees, all the demons suddenly looked up at the front, and then they no longer cared about the worthless prey in front of them, and immediately rode their horses and chased forward, leaving behind a cloud of sand and dust behind them.

It took a long time for the demon to recover from its fear, and the people sighed and rejoiced that they had survived. "What the hell is that, Dark Tide? Aren't they still in Serendra? Why are they here so soon? We've got to speed up our trip, I don't want to stay in this place anymore, the sooner we get to the East Continent, the better. ”

Quiai wiped away her tears, lifted the water bladder and took a long sip of water, calming her heart that almost jumped out of her chest, she was the only one in the group who knew what was happening.

The man who led the group glanced at Quiai quietly, turned his head and led the team on. "We're on the road, it's still a few days to get to the Pilatus Mountains, and now we don't have horses, so we have to walk. ”

Quiai didn't say much, and slowly moved forward with the group, all she could do now was pray for Fern.

The desert became very cold at night, and Fern rode his horse forward in the desert with difficulty, and the horse's hooves would sink into the sand with every step, and the speed was not much faster than he could get down and walk. The pressure behind him followed him closely, and the speed was about the same as his, and it was clear that the demon horse could not run fast in the desert.

Fern let go of the other horse's reins and drove it in the other direction, while he led the horse onwards. The dry desert air made his throat burn like fire, and the horses' breath grew heavier and heavier. After another ten minutes of running, the horse was about to exhaust its stamina, and under the extreme dry weather and the struggling sand, Fern's mount finally stopped.

Fern rolled over from his horse, and now he was left with a water bladder with ale, so he poured a small half cup into the cup for the horse to drink, and then took a big sip of his head. Seeing the horse greedily drinking the ale, Fern reluctantly patted its neck. "Man, we're splitting too. ”

The desert under the moonlight was dusty, and the horses were running slowly off into the distance with their packets, and Fern looked at what was left of his body, most of the ale and a few pieces of go's milk cheese, and a few pieces of dry bread that had been turned out of the panniers. Fern smiled wryly and looked behind him, the dust raised by the demon could already be seen, and they were already very close. Fern no longer hesitated, and ran forward with all his strength.
