For a long time, the red moon was in the sky, and the sky suddenly regained the starry image, and the fantastic scenery just now disappeared like a mirror.

Dening next to the pit was still in a coma, and occasionally a few gerbils that came out to forage at night also avoided it from afar, as if there was an invisible aura hidden deep in Dening's body.

The entire northwest sandy ridge was relatively quiet and peaceful for a while.

Suddenly, a approaching figure slowly stepped out of the distant sandy horizon, his movements looking slow and weak, and a slight cough came from his chest.

When he approached the unconscious Dening, he saw clearly that this person was an elderly thin old man.

The old man's face was covered with the traces of time crawling, and he was dressed in the most ordinary and shabby armor-making clothes of the mercenaries of the moment, mixed with a sand-covering coat worn by a nomadic herdsman. His big rough hands rubbed against each other uneasily, and his mouth muttered, "It's really strange, how can there be children in this place, shouldn't they all be teleported away?"

"Hey, half-blooded blue-bloods, what's going on in this place?"

He bent down and carefully looked at the unconscious Dening, "Look at the clothes, it should be a native child of the De'an tribe, and the breath on this body is also the smell of the De'an tribe, it's strange, but it's ......."

"Hey, forget it, no matter how much, anyway, the old man, I'm boring and ruthless, so I can pass the time. ”

"And a nasty heel, that's a nuisance. ”

The old man muttered, and then he leaned forward to pick up the unconscious Dening, and walked slowly in the direction of the far south.

The old man's footsteps were not very fast, but inexplicably there seemed to contain the truth of heaven and earth, obviously he had only raised his legs and walked a few steps, but he had already disappeared under the distant sand ridge horizon, and where he walked, there were still remnants of his afterimage that did not disappear.

Soon after he left, a gray shadow moved quickly from the undulating sand, and then rose out, and the shadow gradually became clear, it turned out to be the man who had been ordered by the Wei family's mother, only to see that the man's resolute face still retained the traces of the handsome appearance of his youth, he gently sniffed the air floating here with his nose, and his brows furrowed tightly again. Then the man carefully and carefully looked at the place where Dening was unconscious for a while, and then carefully approached the edge of the pit that had been destroyed by the bombing of the Venerable Kui and thought seriously for a while.

After a few moments of careful searching, the man again stepped out of the edge of the pit with unusual caution.

Then the man's figure disappeared again in the sand, as if nothing had happened.

In the distance, the four of them were relatively close to this side, and the Yunfeng Zhao clan warriors who vaguely heard the sound of the previous battle quickly searched towards this place, but before they had time to approach this place, the Yunfeng Zhao clan warrior who was the leader of the team suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground during the sprint, and the three Yunfeng Zhao warriors who followed him did not have time to react, and fell to the ground one after another, and then all of them fell unconscious without saying a word.

Then the gravel around them quickly gathered towards the edge of their bodies, and in a few moments, four more low mounds appeared on the desert sand ridge, and no one cared how much flesh and secrets were buried in these mounds.

Everything will be buried in nature, to the secrets of the whole nature.

On the icy sandy ridges, the natural law of the jungle is playing out all the time.

The edge of De'an City, which had become a ruin, was cleared out by the soldiers of the Yunfeng Zhao clan as a living area where it was temporarily stationed.

Wei Fengming stood quietly at the gate of the camp full of protective measures, and in his deep eyes, he was seriously observing the slowly rising blood moon above his head at this time.

Behind him, the man who had previously searched the target area was waiting respectfully.

After a long time, Wei Fengming returned to the vigorous state that a young man should have, and he turned to the man and confirmed again: "Uncle Wei Wu, are you really sure that this is the place?"

"Seventeen Prince, I have confirmed it again and again, from the oral and battlefield information of the traced mercenaries, as well as my own personal past, it has indeed been confirmed that there was indeed a small battle between transcendental walkers, but the time of the battle was too short, and it didn't spread much at all. I think that's where the De'an group last disappeared. The man known as Wei Wu replied seriously.

"This time the soldiers were dangerous, almost the entire De'an tribe was wiped out, in exchange for this closest to the truth of the truth, it seems that the ancestral records of the year are indeed true, only when the De'an tribe is exterminated, they can find the entrance to the periphery of the Tianyin abyss as a shelter point. It's just that some of the next plans are a bit more cumbersome. Wei Fengming's eyes were full of intense curiosity about the exploration of the unknown world.

He walked back and forth restlessly for a few steps, then turned his head to look at the ruins of De'an, which lurked in the night like a giant beast in the distance, and silently recalculated in his mind.

Wei Wu on the side looked at the seventeenth prince who was already a little strange in front of him, and sighed silently in his heart, and then he stepped forward and continued to tell everything he saw.

"However, Seventeenth Prince, what we did this time is indeed a bit big, after all, if you let others know that you planned it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the family to explain. Besides......" Wei Wu whispered to persuade.

"My affairs, don't bother Uncle Wei Wu about you, besides, now the entire Yunfeng Zhao clan is the initiator of this war, I just came to clean up the mess. What's more, Mo Minwei has a Venerable-level adult intervening in this matter, and I am a little unsure of the direction of the development of things. Wei Fengming had a trance-like look on his face, thinking that he himself did not expect things to develop into the way they are now.

"Trouble Uncle Wei Wu, please confirm the life and death of the eldest prince and the second prince in the Zhao clan, I want to know what happened to them in the end, and why they attracted the attention of a strong person of Venerable's level. Wei Fengming instructed uneasily.

"Yes. Please rest assured, I will go and confirm again. Wei Wu bent down lightly and nodded in response.

"Also, some people do know a little more, you can help knock Elder Zhao Liu again. There are some things that are not suitable for us to do, but they Yunfeng Zhao clan are fighting among themselves, and the result is naturally different. Wei Fengming's eyes became fierce, and he finally finished receiving him.

Wei Wu's figure once again turned into a dim figure from its original place, and then disappeared.

It's just that for some reason, Wei Wu didn't tell Yu Fengming about the fact that he saw the old mercenary take away Dening from the coma, as if nothing like that had happened during the time he was lurking.

It's kind of weird.

"Third grandfather, where are you trapped? If this can't save you, then I really have to ask the ancestor in retreat at home, grandson. It's just that if that's the case, our faction will also lose badly in this struggle. But no one wants that. Yu Fengming sighed softly.

Not far from the now-devastated city of De'an, in the south-northwest, lies a small patch of nomadic energy shields. The so-called nomads here today are also tightly industrious and simple city residents, who have been busy working outside for many years, and are just a small piece of breeding pasture that has been expanded by grazing outside here.

This place is close to the southern area of Shaling, and in the natural sandy ridge area, there are large and small containers for breeding "sandling crabs". This is the main source of income for the residents of this area.

Crustaceans such as crabs, which used to be able to survive only in rivers by nature, have undergone continuous changes in the natural climate, and many species have changed, such as this giant crab that can survive on the dry and rainy sand for a lifetime, and is collectively called "sand crab" by the locals, and it is said that when this sand crab grows to its maximum, the entire crab body alone can reach a terrifying length of two or three meters.

This kind of intensively raised sand crab can often grow to a length of thirty or forty centimeters in more than a month, but many times the breeding conditions are more harsh, and the price of artificial breeding is often not as valuable as this wild herding, so it naturally forms the atmosphere of breeding and grazing here.

This kind of wild free-range sand crab tastes very smooth and tender when eating, and some authentic herdsmen will grind the mature and plump sand crab into crab sauce, add unique dense salt and sand wine, bottle and pickle, and then send it to the business group of Yunfeng Zhao to sell it, the price is even more expensive, which is also a very good way to make money.

At this time, in one of the slightly open energy masks, the unconscious Dening suddenly turned his body a few times, at this time he had been changed into clean and simple clothes worn by herdsmen's children, he opened his eyes weakly, and there was a smell of crab fragrance in his nose.

"Hey, stinky boy, have you finally woken up?" The old man who rescued Dening was sitting quietly at the rough and homemade dining table, biting a sand crab leg in his mouth, the thick crab leg was quickly eliminated and swallowed in his mouth, and the old man leisurely lowered his head from time to time and took a sip of mellow and strong sand wine, and his leisurely and happy appearance was extraordinarily simple and peaceful.

De Ning shook his dizzy head, the scene at this time was strange and confused, he lowered his head and reconfirmed that his body was about to fully improve, and asked uneasily: "That...... Grandpa, did you save me? where is this, why am I here? ”

"Remember, it's your fate, and you've met me, a bad old man. Look at you so pitiful, in the future, you will be my sick and injured grandson, that, I don't care if you are from the De'an ethnic group or not, anyway, now there are only our grandparents and grandchildren, eh, call me grandpa in the future, grandpa, my surname is Zhang, you will be called Zhang Xiaosan. The old man muttered nonchalantly, and then he once again immersed himself in the world of his own food.

"I, Zhang Xiaosan, no, my name is Dening, and I am from the De'an tribe! What about Uncle Delu? What about the others? My body hurts?" Dening asked the old man a little anxiously.

"Dening? It even starts with the word 'De', is this really fate? Hey, little doll, anyway, I don't know about the people you are talking about, I think they were teleported away. After all, you yourself are not really a member of the so-called De'an clan, so the system over there does not allow such an anomaly as you to appear, but fortunately, your kid is a big fate, and he actually let the guardian over there spare your life. After the old man continued to eat the crab leg with oil in his mouth, he continued to focus on the crab that had not been eaten for most of the time.

He grabbed another fat sand crab leg and explained as he ate.

"Now the entire Shaling Western Region is looking for people from the De'an clan everywhere, and a few days ago, there was news that the entire De'an clan gathered to rebel and want to return to the Yunfeng Chamber of Commerce, and they have all been exterminated by the Yunfeng Zhao clan. If you're not afraid of death, just go out and shout a few times by yourself that you're from the De'an tribe, I think a lot of mercenaries don't mind taking another head to offer a reward, hehe. ”

"They Yunfeng Zhao Clan are deceiving people!How can this be! Yunfeng Zhao Clan can't die well!" Listening to the old man's words, the thin Dening shouted in pain as he looked at the energy shield above his head and cried.

"Little one, why are you crying like a little girl, how can you take revenge on the dead people of De'an?" the old man comforted kindly.

"Revenge? Yes, I promised Uncle Delu that I would avenge Uncle Deyu in the future, and Grandpa Yong, I still have to find Uncle Delu, Sister Rong'er. Dening's eyes regained their look, but there were still a few tears dripping from the corners of his eyes.

"Hey, okay, get up and eat some food first, and then you can recuperate here in peace first, and then talk about something else after this period of limelight. The old man patiently looked at Dening who was half-lying on the bed, and reached out lovingly to hand Dening a crab leg, Dening took it gently and ate it slowly.

"Oh, this is the most delicious place in the whole sand crab, it's just good luck, have you ever seen the 'crab roe bead'? There will be one or two such good things among the thousands of sand crabs, you are cheap, you kid, eat more to replenish your body." I've eaten tens of thousands, anyway, old man, haha. The old man looked at De Ning, who was eating crab legs, and handed De Ning a small yellow bead picked out from the whole crab roe, the bead was only the size of a thumb, and the whole egg yolk bead showed a faint fragrance of crab roe.

"Hmph, you can lie to people, I heard Uncle Delu say this thing, it's very rare, you better eat it. Thank you, Grandpa Zhang. Dening looked at the crab roe beads that were pushed in front of him by the old man, and said embarrassedly.

"You eat it, the old man has almost eaten everything he should have eaten in his life, if you don't eat it again, I'll throw it away," the old man said to De Ning with a serious face, and then made a look like he was about to throw it away.

Dening had a nervous look on his face, and he nodded again and again, "Thank you, grandpa, well, I'll eat, I'll eat." In the future, I will definitely catch a few more crabs like this, and get crab roe beads for grandpa to eat. ”

"Haha, good boy, eat more. The old man smiled happily, and a glass of light sand wine in his hand slowly swallowed down his throat, and the old man's face was relieved.

Dening's whole heart felt warm, in this indifferent and changeable world, there are such old people who selflessly care about and take care of themselves, which is really their own happiness.

Just as the old man happily chewed on the remaining crab leg, Dening, who had already eaten on the side, rubbed his face vigorously, and he shouted earnestly to the old man who was still eating with relish: "Grandpa, I will follow your surname in the future." My current name is Zhang Dening. ”

The old man's right hand, which was still holding the flask, shook slightly, and a small puddle of spilled wine quietly dripped onto the rough tabletop, and the old man's smile was reflected in the wine.

Then the smile of relief on the old man's face flashed away, and he suddenly looked at the wine scattered on the table in a daze, and shouted loudly in pain: "Stinky boy, my good sand wine!

"I ......," Dening didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Then, the room was filled with the hearty laughter of the old man, and he happily continued to bury his head and eat the delicious food in front of him.

Life still needs to go on, Dening looked at the old man with a strange temper in front of him, and rediscovered a long-lost atmosphere of "home".

Perhaps, the future life will really be colorful.

Dening silently prayed in his heart.

In the distance, a ray of dawn pierced the dark sky, and a new day had arrived.
