The first night, nothing happened. （）

Early in the morning, after Lei Yue and Chu Jiang and the others had breakfast, they continued on their way. Chu Jiang was still running around with Lei Yue like he did yesterday, and he couldn't see his previous weakness at all.

Halfway through, under the leadership of Chu Feiyang, everyone stopped for lunch, and then continued to move forward. During this period, Lei Yue no longer felt the feeling of being watched, and asked Chu Jiang, who also said that he didn't see anything strange.

Lei Yue was still relieved, and finally found Nie Pan and other martial artists and reminded them to be careful of demon beasts. As a result, Nie Pan said with a smile that he had now entered the realm of Feixia City, and it was very safe. Lei Yue had no choice but to be more vigilant against the strangeness around him to prevent the surprise attack of the demon beasts.

In the evening, another night of laughter, passed without incident.

On the third day, during the day, under the constraints of Lei Yue, Chu Jiang honestly walked with the large army and did not run around. Seeing this, Chu Feiyang joked that Chu Jiang listened to Lei Yue's words more than himself. As a result, Chu Jiang expressed his dissatisfaction and coquettishly treated him, causing everyone to laugh.

And the third night passed in peace.

On the fourth day, the person who had previously been poisoned by the scorpion had a tendency to worsen his injuries. So, at Chu Feiyang's suggestion, the caravan slowed down to take care of him. So much so that the caravan that was supposed to enter the city tonight had to stay in the Gobi for one more night.

......

The night was not very good tonight, there was hardly a star in the sky, and the moon was completely covered by dark clouds. The cool breeze blowing from behind him from time to time let Chu Feiyang, who has been walking in the wind and sand all year round, know that the storm he had been hiding for a few days was still catching up, so he specially set up camp behind a leeward rock, hoping to avoid this terrible storm.

Everyone knew that tonight might not be easy, but no one complained, silently eating what they were doing around the campfire. The camels were tethered tightly to their sides, so that they would not be frightened and run away when the storm came. In the Gobi, if there is a storm and there are no camels to lead the way and carry goods, it will be troublesome.

Perhaps feeling the heavy atmosphere tonight, Chu Jiang was contrary to his previous liveliness, sitting quietly beside Lei Yue, looking at the darkness from time to time, and seemed to be a little uneasy in his heart. He tugged at the corner of Chu Feiyang's clothes and whispered, "Daddy, it's a little weird tonight." ”

Chu Feiyang turned his head and smiled at him, feeling that it was the first time he went out, and it was the first time he encountered this kind of bad weather, so it was normal to be afraid, so he reached out and touched the top of his head, and said, "It's okay, the stormy weather is like this, go to bed early after eating, and you can enter the city tomorrow." After speaking, Chu Feiyang threw the last piece of jerky in his hand into his mouth, stood up and began to do the last inspection before going to bed.

Chu Jiang couldn't help but worry when he saw that his father didn't take his words to heart, he was very sure that something in the darkness was staring at them with a cold gaze. So, Chu Jiang whispered to Lei Yue again: "Brother Lei Yue, the thing I told you a few days ago has appeared again. ”

Lei Yue bit the dry beef, nodded quietly, and said, "Well, you be careful tonight, don't get too far away from me." ”

"Good. Chu Jiang replied, and then looked at the darkness in front of him uneasily. This time, he saw a large creature in the darkness, opening its bloody jaws and lunging at him, a barb with a cold light swaying behind him.

"Take it easy. ”

Chu Jiang was patted on the shoulder, and Lei Yue's cold voice woke him up from his trance, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his breathing began to be short.

Lei Yue withdrew the left hand placed on Chu Jiang's shoulder, leaned towards him, and said softly, "It's okay, relax." After saying that, Lei Yue glanced at the Soul Eater Sword beside him, and then held it in his hand, feeling that the temperature of the scabbard seemed to be a little lower than usual.

"Delusion?" Lei Yue frowned slightly and whispered to herself. On the other side, Chu Jiang gradually calmed down, adjusted his breathing, and still asked with palpitations: "Is it really okay?"

"It's fine. Lei Yue repeated, and at the same time put the Soul Devouring Sword in his arms, reached out to hold Chu Jiang's sweaty hand, and comforted: "I will be by your side tonight, you can sleep at ease." ”

Chu Jiang let out a "hmm", and finally glanced at the place just now, and saw that there was no abnormality, so he spread the square scarf on the ground according to Lei Yue's words, and fell asleep against Lei Yue.

Around the campfire, the light of the fire danced on Lei Yue's face, reflecting his shadow on the rocks and swaying up and down. The Soul Devouring Sword was tightly held in Lei Yue's hand, and after casually covering Chu Jiang with a scarf, he began to close his eyes and recuperate.

......

In the first half of the night, everything was normal, but in the second half of the night, the wind blew and the ground began to shake slightly, and then intensified. Eventually, some of the smaller pieces of gravel began to bounce.

The camels tore uneasily and tried to break free from the reins. Everyone in the caravan woke up from their dreams and tried to soothe the frightened camels and protect the goods.

Chu Feiyang stood at the front, facing the storm, and roared in his loudest voice: "Don't panic, everyone, pull the frightened camels hard, don't let them run away!" With that, Chu Feiyang came to the crowd and began to command everyone to work together to resist the storm.

Lei Yue took the frightened Chu Jiang and slowly came to the location where Nie Pan and several other martial artists were, and they were trying to find a way to resist the storm. Lei Yue asked, "Uncle Nie, how long will the storm last?"

Nie Pan thrust the giant sword heavily into the ground, blocked the annoying sand and stone with his left hand, bowed his body, and reluctantly said: "I don't know, if you're lucky, maybe half an hour will pass." After speaking, he didn't pay much attention to Lei Yue and Chu Jiang.

Hearing this, Lei Yue's brows furrowed, and she looked up at the sky. Fortunately, because of the strong wind, the dark clouds were blown away, and the light of the moon was sprinkled, so that it was still pitch black. Now, Lei Yue's only worry is whether the thing hiding in the dark will take the opportunity to sneak attack. If that's the case, there's a chance he won't be able to handle it.

"Brother Lei Yue, the wind is so strong!" Chu Jiang said bitterly as he hid behind Lei Yue. He was already weak, but now he was in a storm, and the strong qi made it difficult for him to breathe.

Lei Yue looked at Chu Jiang, who was trying to stand firm, looked around again, and saw that everyone was struggling to keep themselves from being blown away by the wind, so he shouted at Shi Pan beside him: "Is there anyone here who will use the water line?"

"What?"

The strong wind made Shi Pan not hear Lei Yue's question.

"Does anyone use the water line?" Lei Yue repeated loudly.

At this time, the scholar who had been silent in the Shi Pan team suddenly replied: "In Xia Bucai, the 'source' of cultivation happens to be Shuixing. ”

When Lei Yue took a look, she knew that this person's surname was Guo, his name was Yu, and his cultivation was between the Adversity Realm and the Dao Breaking Realm, and this time he came out mostly to find an opportunity to break the mirror. As for why he was mixed in the team of Nie Pan, who was full of martial artists, Lei Yue didn't have time to think about it, pointed to the front and said to him: "Okay, you listen to my command and build a wall of water here." ”

Guo Yu obviously didn't understand what Lei Yue meant, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask clearly, but found that Lei Yue's face was cold, and his body exuded a compelling cold air, looking at the front motionlessly.

"Water wall!" Lei Yue suddenly called. Guo Yu didn't have time to think, and according to Lei Yue's command, he tried his best to create a water curtain in front of him. Lei Yue immediately sent the cold qi on his body towards the water curtain, and as soon as the cold air entered the water wall, it immediately turned into a wall of ice

Guo Yu's eyes lit up, and after glancing at each other with Nie Pan, he immediately tried his best to create a wall of water. When the rest of the people saw that Lei Yue and Guo Yu had cooperated to create an ice wall to block the storm, their spirits were lifted, and they pulled the camel even harder, waiting for Lei Yue and them to create enough ice walls to block the storm.

After a while, Lei Yue and Guo Yu had built enough ice walls to temporarily block the storm and make everyone breathe a sigh of relief. The camel also quieted down and crouched on the ground to rest.

Chu Feiyang led everyone, hid behind the ice wall, let out a long sigh of relief, and said to Lei Yue gratefully: "Young Master Lei Yue." Thank you so much. Unexpectedly, I had an impromptu idea to save us all. Really, thank you so much. Nie Pan and the others also echoed and expressed their gratitude to Lei Yue.

Lei Yue only nodded indifferently, then leaned against the ice wall, ignoring him. Chu Feiyang didn't care either, and after thanking Lei Yue again, he turned around and went to count the loss of the goods.

Chu Jiang leaned against Lei Yue, listening to the howling sound of the wind around him and the cold feeling coming from behind, he inexplicably felt a sense of peace of mind, and felt that as long as he stayed by Lei Yue's side, there was nothing that could not be solved.

As the minutes passed, the harsh wind gradually subsided, and the eastern horizon began to glow white. Lei Yue held the Soul Devouring Sword, and slowly felt a little tired, and the "thing" that he had been guarding against had not appeared, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance, closed his eyes and wanted to rest.

"Snakes, snakes and scorpions!"

Not long after Lei Yue closed his eyes, someone immediately screamed in panic, accompanied by the tragic screams of camels. Chu Jiang, who was leaning on Lei Yue's shoulder, woke up with him, only to see everyone trampling on something noisily, and the camels fell to the ground one by one, stirring up a lot of dust.

The scantily clad charm Xie rushed over with Nie Pan with the long whip on his waist, cleaning up the poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions that came out of nowhere; the young Han Yun held a human-height steel war hammer and guarded Guo Yu's side when he was exhausted; Chu Feiyang led everyone to quickly approach Lei Yue.

Lei Yue looked at the countless snakes and scorpions around her, took out the dagger "Cold Light" that Luo Feng Town had bought from her sleeve, handed it to Chu Jiang and said, "Take this, be careful to protect yourself." ”

Chu Jiang held the "cold light" with both hands, was very scared in his heart, trembled and asked, "Brother Lei Yue, will we be fine, right?" After speaking, Chu Jiang once again saw a huge figure in the darkness with its fangs open and pounced on him fiercely.

"Ahh

"Bang Dang~"

Chu Jiang was frightened by the illusion in front of him and held his head with both hands. Curled up together, even the "cold light" in his hand was thrown to the ground by him. Lei Yue exhaled softly, picked up the "cold light", handed it into Chu Jiang's hands again, and comforted softly: "It's okay, you can rest assured." After saying that, the Soul Devouring Sword in Lei Yue's hand was unsheathed, exuding a permeating cold aura on this desolate plain.

Seeing this, Chu Feiyang calmly said to Lei Yue: "Young Master Lei Yue, please!" Then, he commanded everyone to gather together as much as possible, using the ice wall as a backing to resist the attack of the snake and scorpion.

The moment the Soul Eater Sword was unsheathed, Lei Yue's whole person's momentum changed suddenly, there was no emotion in his eyes, he shook his wrist slightly, and rushed forward with the Soul Eater Sword. On the other side, in the face of endless snakes and scorpions, Mei and Nie Pan fell into a bitter battle, and several wounds had been added to their bodies, although they were not fatal, but their actions were obviously much slower.

"Smack!"

Mei used a long whip to kill a poisonous scorpion that climbed onto Nie Pan's shoulder, and began to despair. She wondered if all the poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions in the Gobi had gathered here, and how could they not be killed and their numbers decreased?

"Be careful!" Nie Pan cut off more than a dozen poisonous insects with a sword, ready to sneak attack the charm, and then quickly leaned over to her, back to back with her, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful, these poisons are gathered here, and they are obviously abnormal." In my opinion, most of them want something to command behind their backs. As he spoke, he cut off a few more poisonous snakes.

The whip in the charm hand was non-stop, and every time it was swung, seven or eight poisonous scorpions or poisonous snakes would fly and then be shattered in the air. After hearing Shi Pan's reminder, Mei nodded, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation.

The encirclement of poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions is getting smaller and smaller, locking Mei and Shi Pan tightly in the center, making them a little embarrassed. At this time, Lei Yue rushed over with the Soul Devouring Sword and slashed indiscriminately, breaking a hole in the encirclement. Nie Pan and Mei's pressure was greatly reduced, and they cheered in unison: "Okay!" As he spoke, they converged with Lei Yue along the gap.

The three of them leaned back together, forming a three-legged posture, coupled with the Soul Devouring Sword's innate ability to deter evil creatures, for a while, the poisonous scorpions and poisonous snakes did not dare to approach them, and the situation was temporarily deadlocked. But on the other side of the ice wall, only Han Yun held a war hammer to block the poisonous insects, and he had to be distracted to take care of the tired Guo Yu, and the rest of the people could only rely on the torches in their hands to temporarily make the poisonous insects dare not approach, and there was no way to disperse these poisonous insects at all.

Seeing that the poisonous insects were slowly approaching the people of the caravan, Nie Pan and Mei thought that if they continued like this, they would be wiped out sooner or later, so they gritted their teeth and said to Lei Yue: "Little brother Lei Yue, it is not a way to go on like this, we must join Chu Ye and them." ”

Lei Yue looked around at the surrounding situation, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the Soul Devouring Sword struck out, and all the poisonous insects in a circle around them were knocked away. Seeing this, Nie Pan and Mei teamed up with the unstoppable Lei Yue and rushed towards Chu Feiyang and the others together
