Chapter 69: Encountering the Dead on the Way
Xu Fei set up a barrier for the intruders, and opened his stance, preparing to go all out to meet the attack from the demons.
Outside the barrier, it was swallowed by the yellow sand in an instant, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and it felt like the sand under my feet was being pushed and moved, but I couldn't see any monsters showing their bodies.
Could it be a natural vision?
Xu Fei began to suspect that he was too nervous to make a wrong judgment, but he clearly felt that the wind was mixed with the aura of a demon, and there was even a strong murderous aura hidden.
Whether it was a vision or a monster, it was not to be taken lightly, and it was still necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance, so after the wind weakened, Xu Fei refused to withdraw from the protective barrier.
"City Lord, there may be another hurricane coming, we need to find cover to avoid the limelight. Daji reminded.
It's not that Xu Fei hasn't thought about this problem, but apart from the endless sand, he can't even see a stone here, let alone a bunker.
"When I checked just now, the lord of this city found a sea in front of me, let's go, I'll take you there. Xu Fei searched for information in his mind, and accidentally realized that he had seen a piece of water just now, and at first he thought it was a hallucination and didn't pay attention.
On the journey of the Sand Sea, only the water source is precious, and even if a cultivator is seriously dehydrated for a long time, he may also have to worry about his life.
As long as you find Haizi, with a water source as a guarantee, and you can deal with the demon clan, you will be more confident.
So Xu Fei took them and found a sea without much effort, it seems that the water is also very clear, in order to prevent poisoning, they will not drink it directly, but use water to wash their faces and hands, and filter and absorb water through the skin, which is one of the special features of cultivators who are better than mortals.
In the harsh environment of the sand sea, it is often Haizi who appears with lifeforms, which means that there must be something haunted where there is Haizi, if you don't have a little scientific knowledge, even if you are lucky enough to find Haizi, you may not have time to enjoy it, and you may have been eaten as food by some monster beast.
"Wow, something bites me!" Daji screamed as she reached out to play in the water, suddenly jumped up and screamed.
Obviously, it's not too commonsense, under normal circumstances, there will be no creatures in Haizi, because Haizi is mobile, and it will disappear somewhere at any time, and it will form in other places at any time, so it is impossible for aquatic creatures to exist, even if there are things in Haizi, they must be land creatures from the sand, and they may also happen to go in to drink water.
Xu Fei reminded with a wry smile: "You are a famous nine-tailed fox, can ordinary demonic things scare you?" After saying this, Xu Fei began to regret it, because he had overlooked a serious problem.
This is a forbidden place, there are no low-level creatures, and those who are locked in are not ordinary people, even if it is an ant, it may be a role that once dominated the world.
Seeing that Daji was eager to try to go into the water to avenge the bite of his fingers, Xu Fei pulled Daji back, due to the lack of preparedness, and the sand was too unstable, he fell backwards without strength, Xu Fei was trying to adjust his posture, but Daji, who was dragged back, bumped into a full arms, at this moment, the plot began to be a little bloody.
Behind him is a slope with a great inclination, the two of them rolled together for a long distance before steady, although it is not the first time that the body has contacted, but this time it is different, just now in order to cool down the clothes were wet, wet body sticking together and rubbing it together is a completely different taste.
Daji seems to be normal, Xu Fei's face is red, and he is a little embarrassed.
No matter how strong a cultivator's cultivation is, the only way to do it is instinctive desire, once the hormones soar, all cultivation will be in a state of zero, which is also the root of why the cultivator wants to abstain, and it can only be understood but not spoken.
Xu Fei managed to calm down, and after a slight adjustment, he returned the same way.
When the two of them returned to their original place, there was no movement around Haizi, and the only thing they didn't expect was that the Tongtian Sect Master had already disappeared.
There were no traces of a struggle around, and there were no traces of dragging at the water's edge, so it was certain that the Tongtian Sect Master was not taken away by a foreign object in the water.
It is likely that the monsters had already stared at them, and when Xu Fei and Daji had some accidents, they suddenly took action to kidnap the Tongtian Sect Master.
No matter what, Xu Fei didn't want to miss any links, and Haizi also had to go around the inside, and after being sure, he would consider other possibilities.
The area of Haizi is not large, only a dozen square meters, and you can figure it out with a few strokes, but there should be a hidden threat inside.
Xu Fei chose the most clumsy way, which was to go into the water to find out by himself, and as soon as he got out of the water, he saw people standing not far away, and they were two weak old men.
Before Xu Fei could open his mouth to shout, he heard a voice coming: "Young man, don't go down, it's very dangerous in this sea!"
When Xu Fei pulled back, the two old men were already approaching, and they were a little surprised when they looked closely.
Because Xu Fei recognized these two old men, they were the people who had slept in a village when Xu Fei came to the Tianshu World, and Xu Fei had also been there later, but this village was deserted.
"Two seniors, why are you here?" Xu Fei felt that something was wrong, the appearance of this old couple here should not be accidental.
The old man pondered and asked, "Do we know each other?"
The old woman had a better memory, and hurriedly responded: "Many years ago, this young man took a child to stay overnight at our house. ”
The old man nodded, and said with some excitement: "So that's the case, old man, I don't have a good memory, why are you here, young man?"
Out of courtesy, Xu Fei could only answer the question first: "We are here to find Lingquan." ”
Xu Fei didn't want to deliberately hide anything, even if the two of them were not good, it didn't matter if they were clear about their purpose, in case it was just a coincidental meeting, and they made up lies to deceive each other, and they would need to worry about it to continue to lie later, wouldn't it make them physically and mentally exhausted?
The old woman glanced at the old man, and the two smiled, and the old woman smiled and said, "Actually, we also came to this spiritual spring, and the days here are too lonely, and it is really boring to have no heirs around the knees." ”
If it's really a coincidence, it's two more helpers, and if the other party is for other purposes, then you have to be cautious next.
Xu Fei hurriedly asked: "A friend of mine disappeared a moment ago, and he wanted to go to Haizi to explore, why did the two seniors say that it would be very dangerous inside?"
The old man rolled up his sleeves, revealing bloody wounds, and explained: "Yesterday the two of us passed by here, trying to find some water to wash, but we ran into this Haizi, but as soon as the water was attacked, if it wasn't for the timely reaction of the old woman, I am afraid that my old life would have been buried here." ”
In the case of pictures and truths, Xu Fei couldn't find any doubts, so he could only believe what they said for the time being, and continued to listen very seriously.
The old man then added: "There is a giant worm down here, to be precise, we are probably standing on this worm's body now, this sea worm is a groove on the worm's back, maybe it is formed by a wound, or it may be innate, anyway, we had better get out of here quickly." ”
This story doesn't seem to be something that can be made up casually, and Xu Fei can't find any flaws if he doesn't believe it.
If what the old man said was true, Xu Fei would not feel nervous in his heart, because he had seen the cockroaches at the base, maybe it might be the cockroach monster chasing and killing all the way.
Xu Fei thought for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever seen the true face of the bug?"
The two old men were a little surprised, nodded again and again, and replied in unison: "It's a cockroach!"
Even if it was really the cockroach monster, Xu Fei didn't think it had anything to do with the disappearance of the Tongtian Sect Master, because the cockroach monster was too big, and a little movement would leave deep traces, and it was exactly the same here as before, and there was no sign of anything abnormal.
It's not that Xu Fei is too suspicious, it's that the world is too cruel, and the slightest carelessness will be wiped out, so under any circumstances, he won't easily trust others.
Even if Daji is relatively close to him, he has to keep an eye on it from time to time, which is the most basic way to survive.
Including the disappearance of the Tongtian Sect Master, it is very dull for Xu Fei, as for the life or death of the Tongtian Sect Master, in fact, Xu Fei doesn't care too much in his heart, they are not even friends between them, at best they are a little bit of a relationship.
But as long as the Tongtian Sect Master is still alive, Xu Fei will definitely try his best to search and rescue, and he will not hesitate to risk his life at the critical moment.
"If it's so dangerous, why do the two seniors want to come back?"
The old woman then explained: "We wanted to go into the city yesterday to inquire about the news of Lingquan, but we were just in time for the city gate to be closed, as if we heard that the wind will make trouble in the city, once you rush in, it will definitely be very troublesome, so I want to give up, but I was attacked by the demon people along the way, and it was difficult to step by step, so I had to hide XC to avoid the limelight and then make plans, and I woke up in the morning and found that there were spies of the demon clan all around, and I couldn't pass through directly, so I could only make a detour here, but I didn't expect to meet your little two." ”
Daji had been silent, and suddenly heard that she and Xu Fei were two people, and she couldn't help but show shyness on her face, and explained in a flattering manner: "We are not what you think. ”
At this time, there was actually no need to explain, as soon as he opened his mouth, there were no three hundred taels of silver here, and the more he explained, the more he deliberately covered it up, which made Xu Fei feel panicked.
When Daji still wanted to talk nonsense, Xu Fei glared, and then Daji continued to be silent.
The old man urged, "Let's get out of here first!"
Xu Fei is worried that there is nowhere to go, and now that he has a guide to lead the way, he just doesn't have to worry about it, and he will leave this place first before making plans.
Xu Fei responded very respectfully: "I am really grateful for the care of the two seniors!"
