Volume 1: The Scourge of Extinction Chapter 15: The Eye in the Gobi
Early in the morning, the caravan men got up early, put the goods on the backs of the camels that accompanied them, and after breakfast, they hurried on their way. Lei Yue carried the Soul Eater Sword and the burden behind him, and walked at the front of the caravan with the caravan's martial artists.
Chu Jiang, who went out for the first time, although he was wrapped in a turban, his curiosity was still exposed from his clear eyes, and he ran and stopped excitedly in the Gobi under the scorching sun.
"Dad, hurry up!" Chu Jiang ran to the front, tore off the headscarf on his face, and shouted loudly. Chu Feiyang looked at his son, who was very quiet at home, and became so lively at this time, he was suddenly a little helpless, but his eyes were more doting, and he shouted: "Xiao Jiang, you slow down!
"Got it!" Chu Jiang shouted with his back to Chu Feiyang, and then quickly crossed a small hill. Seeing this, Chu Feiyang shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that this kid Chu Jiang obviously didn't listen to his words. Fortunately, it is almost close to Feixia City, and the city lord Xuanyuan Si often sends people to sweep away the attacking demon beasts nearby, so he is very safe, and he is not afraid of anything happening to him.
"Haha, Master Chu, it seems that the little boy is not as introverted as you said. Martial artist Nie Pan, who was naked on the upper body, felt the blazing sun, resisted the giant sword on his shoulder, and a thick iron chain was wrapped around his arm, which was tightly connected with the giant sword, and he joked to Chu Feiyang directly. Beside him, there was also a plump woman, about thirty years old, dressed in bewitching clothes, with a long flaming whip coiled around her waist, and a scholar who kept smiling all the time, and even in such a hot Gobi, there was not a drop of sweat.
Chu Feiyang smiled lightly at Nie Pan, seeing that his son was much more cheerful after he came out, the depression in his heart also dissipated a little, thinking that in a few years Chu Jiang should be crowned, and it was time to set him an in-law.
"Uncle Chu, why don't you let Chu Jiang worship the old man as a teacher?" On the camel, a young man about the same age as Lei Yue was lying between the humps, with short hair, looking ruffian, and asked boredly.
"That's right, Brother Chu, Tian Ku is also a master who has stepped into the Gang Thunder Realm with half a foot. If Xiao Jiang worships him as a teacher, you don't have to work so hard to walk around in the Gobi. The rich woman also echoed it, as if she was curious about it.
Chu Feiyang looked at the disappearing hillock of Chu Jiang, and there was also a trace of regret on his face, and explained: "It is really the ancestral precept that makes it clear that the people of the Chu family are not allowed to practice. ”
"That's a shame. The young man on the hunchback said casually as if he understood, and then said with longing: "If the old man can take a fancy to me, I will definitely be a disciple of him as a cow and a horse." ”
Chu Feiyang just smiled slightly, but Nie Pan said, "Haha, you can think about it." ”
The short-haired boy sat up from the hunchback at once, and asked Nie Pan dissatisfiedly, "Why can I only think about it!"
The bewitching woman saw that the young man was anxious, so she trembled her huge chest and said charmingly: "Little brother Han Yun, do you want to think about having a good baby in the next life?"
At this moment, Han Yun was really anxious, and complained to the bewitching woman: "Sister Mei, how can you be like this!" The woman named "Mei" just pursed her lips and smiled lightly, but did not answer. This made Han Yun at a loss, and he was always dissatisfied with the two of them.
Lei Yue looked at the affectionate three people on the side, smiled knowingly, and envied them in her heart. After all, neither in Longque City nor in the ethereal world had ever felt such a harmonious atmosphere.
"Xiao Jiang, I talked to you a lot last night, right?" Chu Feiyang suddenly asked Lei Yue.
Lei Yue chuckled and explained, "Actually, I didn't say anything, I just asked some things about cultivation. ”
Chu Feiyang looked at the disappearing hills of Chu Jiang, and for some reason a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and said: "Xiao Jiang is extremely talented, and he was taken by the old man who was close to the Ganglei Realm, and wanted to accept him as a closed disciple. It's a pity that the ancestor of the Chu family said that the children of the Chu family are not allowed to practice, otherwise Xiao Jiang will definitely not run around with me like this. ”
Lei Yue was suddenly a little curious, why the Chu family had such a family motto, so she asked, "Why is this so?"
Chu Feiyang shook his head and said, "I don't know, this family motto has been passed down for more than ten generations. ”
Lei Yue was stunned for a moment, and then didn't ask more.
Han Yun, Nie Pan, and Mei were still arguing there. However, it seemed that Han Yun was hit hard by them, and his face turned red with anger.
Before they knew it, the group had reached the top of the hill. As a result, as soon as they boarded up, Lei Yue and the others were shocked by the scene in front of them, and countless sand foxes were rushing in the Gobi, like a rainbow.
"Unexpectedly, I actually saw the 'migration of the sand sea', which is rare in a century. Chu Feiyang took a step forward, looked at the scene in front of him, and said in shock.
Lei Yue looked at the top of the hill, and saw that the dust raised behind him during the sand fox rush was really like an earthy yellow ocean moving with the wind, majestic and magnificent. As for Chu Jiang, who reached the hill one step ahead of everyone, he looked at the situation in front of him and was already stunned and speechless.
The caravan stopped at the top of the hill and marveled at the wonders of the century. Nie Pan walked up to Chu Feiyang, stuck the giant sword on his shoulder on the ground, and asked in a leader's demeanor: "Master Chu, you are well-informed, what is the importance of this 'Sand Sea Migration'?"
At this time, Chu Jiang returned to Chu Feiyang's side, and just heard Nie Pan's question, and stared at him very curiously. Chu Feiyang saw that everyone was very interested in the "Sand Sea Migration", so he patted Chu Jiang on the shoulder, pulled him to his side, looked at the continuous sand fox group, and explained: "It is said that the shadow sand fox is the guardian of the caravan in the Gobi. If a merchant meets a migrating Shadow Sand Fox during his travels, he will bring good luck. ”
"Isn't that a sign that our trade will be going well?" Chu Jiang exclaimed very happily after hearing this.
Chu Feiyang looked at the son in front of him, smiled knowingly, gently rubbed his head with his generous palm, and then looked at the group of shadow sand foxes, with a little expectation in his eyes, and said, "That's right." Lei Yue looked at Chu Jiang's clean smile from the side, and laughed along.
"Haha, Brother Lei Yue, let's go!" Chu Jiang took advantage of Lei Yue's lack of attention, grabbed his hand, and dragged him down the hill. Lei Yue didn't expect Chu Jiang to suddenly grab him, and staggered all the way to the bottom of the slope.
Everyone on the hill laughed in unison when they saw the appearance of Lei Yue, the most stable on weekdays. At this time, the group of shadow sand foxes just disappeared on the horizon, so Chu Feiyang beckoned everyone to continue on the road.
On the way down by Chu Jiang, the surface of the hill suddenly loosened, but when Lei Yue turned his head to look, he found nothing but bare sand and gravel.
"What's wrong?" Chu Jiang noticed Lei Yue's strange appearance and asked with concern.
Lei Yue shook her head, thinking that she had seen it wrong, and chuckled: "It's okay, let's go." ”
As he spoke, Lei Yue took the lead and walked forward. However, the moment he turned around, an inconspicuous little scorpion crawled out of the rubble pile, carefully observing their movements, the sharp stinger shining in the sunlight.
