The quicksand in the daytime is scorched by the three golden suns, and the scorching breath can distort the reflection of the scenery in the air, making people feel their throats dry when they look at it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But there is a figure that is unusually steady, with snow-white hair, snow-white skin, and snow-white light veil fluttering, the whole person is white and swaying, but there is no feeling of heat at all, but it looks like a burst of coolness in the bottom of people's hearts, as if a mouthful of sweet cold water is in the sand where you can directly heat rice, and the mood is no longer anxious.

Perhaps it is not only humans who will have this feeling, but the brute beasts also have the mind of looking for shade, and in the past two days, there are countless strange brute beasts that have emerged from the sand, all of them swarming towards the white swaying figure, wanting the source of this cool breath to swallow into their stomachs.

But in front of a white jade ribbon glowing with cold air, the beast's movements would always be stagnant, or it would be frozen unconscious in three or two times, or it would spin around for a while and then be slashed by another figure with a knife.

The ribbon danced spiritually, and at this time it was surrounded by a first-class beast soldier Huangqi Beast, and the whole body only had a big mouth, which suddenly opened, and it could spit out a column of sandstorm gas with extremely high temperature, and collided with the ribbon with cold air, constantly stimulating white water vapor, but before it landed, it was evaporated by high temperature, and it was drilled into the clouds that could not be seen much in the sky.

"Snow Wind Dance!"

The cherry red lips exhaled like an orchid, and the vitality surged in the soft voice, and the white figure danced suddenly on the sand, and the ribbon constantly changed its position around it, and the dots turned into countless white spots in the air, as if countless snowflakes were emitted from it, and were blown in the direction of the Huangqi beast by a cool breeze.

The Huangqi Beast clearly sensed the threat, and a huge toothless mouth with a large human head bit down on the sand, and then spewed out several pillars of sandstorm qi from its tail in an instant, attacking the countless snowflakes.

When the two attacks touched, the snowflakes quickly melted into vitality and water vapor, while the air column was gradually pushed back, as if the temperature at the end had been rapidly lowered, showing a hardening trend.

Seeing that the attack of the white figure was about to suppress the Huangqi Beast, the Yuan Qi suddenly paused, and the Yuan Qi combat technique was interrupted in an instant, and it was actually the Yuan Qi control that was not up to standard, which made the combat skill backlash!

Without the falling snowflakes, the sandstorm qi pillar suddenly drove straight in, rushing straight towards the white shadow where the breath appeared.

The sword flashed, and another figure suddenly appeared in front of the white shadow, carrying swaddling clothes behind his back, holding a saber in his hand, but with a flat split, the sand storm qi pillar was split in half, and it lost its attack power in an instant.

Not only that, but the saber was not stopped, and the three-foot-long dark red sword qi flashed away and landed in the big mouth of the Huangqi Beast.

Burst!

With just one blow, this first-level beast soldier was like shredded paper, floating in the sand, and the pale blood did not come out at all, as if it had been evaporated before it died.

"The Yuan Qi combat technique has rebounded again, and I still don't practice it well enough!"

The saber choked into the scabbard, Qiao Ximing looked back at Xue Yiwu, who had an abnormal red tide on his face, and made an evaluation.

There was a pause: "Can the body still withstand it?"

Xue Yiwu disappeared from the pain and depression caused by the backlash, showed a smile, and nodded.

Qiao Ximing sighed.

Since knowing that Qiao Ximing's cultivation process depends on Xiao Qian's Italian characteristics fusion, Xue Yiwu put forward a request to start special training, and the brute beasts that the two encountered in the quicksand will basically be left to her to start, if there is a defeat, Qiao Ximing will help.

The Dinglu physique comes from the fusion of the Italian race and the human race, although I have not seen the real Yi race, but from the rapid increase of the cold qi around Xue Yiwu's body, it seems that the spiritual power of the Yi race is by no means comparable to other races.

That kind of pure vitality attribute, even Qiao Ximing himself sighed to himself.

It's just that looking at the girl who was still powerless at the beginning, and now gritting her teeth and constantly fighting dangerous battles with brute beasts, Qiao Ximing's heart is always a little complicated.

"There's a sand dune ahead, go there and rest for a while, and we'll set off in half an hour. ”

The two sat down in the sand, Qiao Ximing handed the swaddling clothes to Xue Yiwu, and then took out some pieces of beast meat hunted on the road, wrapped them in animal skins, cut out many small gaps inside, and then used their vitality to shake inside for half a minute, and buried directly in the scorching yellow sand.

"I'll be able to eat it later. ”

Xue Yiwu nodded, but there was a bit of curiosity in her eyes, she didn't understand how Qiao Ximing could do such a strange cooking technique.

In the past two days, their meals were prepared by Qiao Ximing, although there were no condiments, but after all, it was not dry food bacon, and it was made in a strange way, but it was also a rare meal in the quicksand.

Joe ...... Can you teach me?"

Qiao Ximing was stunned for a moment, and understood that Xue Yiwu was talking about his own cooking methods, so he smiled lightly and nodded.

"It's called a hot sand meal, and it's something I learned before. Trees are scarce in the quicksand, and you can't find many branches on weekdays, so it's difficult to start a fire, so if you want to eat hot food, you'll have to find another way. ”

His hand touched the sand where the flesh was buried.

"Although there are no materials to make a fire, after all, the temperature of the sand is very high in the daytime, and it is actually feasible to use it to heat it, as long as the meat inside is evenly processed and wrapped in a layer of something outside, you can eat hot food. ”

Xue Yiwu's eyes lit up slightly, and she suddenly asked, "Who taught Joe this method?"

The palm that swept on the sand suddenly paused, and then retracted.

"I learned it myself......"

"Huh?"

After being silent for a while, the voice came out again: "I am not from the Xuanwu Domain, I only entered the Xuanwu Domain from the southwest border of the White Tiger Domain five years ago, and when I was trekking, I entered this area unconsciously. ”

Regarding Qiao Ximing's past, Xue Yiwu didn't know it, but when she heard him talk about it at this moment, her heart suddenly became concerned.

"At that time, there was no Xinfan Town, and most of the people who migrated to the south were displaced people who were considered to be inferior, and they knew that there was a fertile area south of the quicksands, and they wanted to try to see if they could find new development there. ”

"But there are no towns, which means that there are no caravans to pass, and the wandering teams that cross the quicksand often run out of food halfway through, and they can't beat the brute beasts, and the ordinary beasts will not approach when they see that they are too numerous, and finally kill one or two prey, and in the hot weather of the quicksand, they will rot very quickly......"

Qiao Ximing's voice suddenly paused, as if he was thinking about something, and only spoke again after a while, ending the explanation in a very fast tone.

"Anyway, in order to get a more long-term food source, they invented this method, and that's how I learned it. ”

The words ended too abruptly, which surprised Xue Yiwu, but she still nodded obediently and didn't ask anymore.

Qiao Ximing's abrupt ending was not intentionally concealed, but he knew that if the truth was told, he would probably be the only one who ate today's meal.

Five years ago, he trekked all the way to the east of the Xuanwu Domain alone in his arms, walking and stopping in the direction of the Nanyu River for several months, and then inadvertently strayed into the quicksand.

I don't know if it's lucky, but he met a team of homeless people in the quicksands.

As he said, the food of the outcasts was quickly exhausted, everyone was dizzy with hunger, and within a few days, some people collapsed, and the vitality in their bodies quickly disappeared.

The death of their companion caused the homeless people to stop and start a moment of silence, but only a short moment later, they were attracted by a strange smell.

It's meaty!

Everyone's eyes changed, looking at the corpse that had begun to ripen in the heat of the sand, the smell of flesh constantly teasing the stomach pouch that could no longer contract, the dry rumble was all constantly agitating, and the eyes were bloodshot.

However, when they first entered the quicksand, there was still a little humanity left in the team, and soon someone proposed to bury the body.

For the last bit of bottom line, several men made great efforts to cover the corpse under the yellow sand, and then they were so tired that they began to rest in place.

Qiao Ximing, who was still a boy, was just quietly holding the swaddling clothes, watching these homeless people struggle until one of them suddenly collapsed.

A thin man in his thirties, unable to stand the irritation of his stomach pouch any longer, let out a mournful scream, ran like a madman to the place where the body was buried, and began to frantically dig the sand.

As if to bury the terrifying thoughts in their hearts, the holes dug by the men for the corpse were extremely deep, and the thin man dug for several minutes before he saw the corpse buried in the yellow sand.

As soon as he saw the flesh, the man screamed and grabbed it.

This grasp is a direct capture of a piece of flesh and blood!

Under the high temperature of the sand, the corpse that had been buried for more than ten minutes was actually softened by the heat, the skin and flesh had long been ripe, and there was no normal stickiness, and it was caught in the man's hands, exuding a rich aroma, like freshly baked pork leg meat.

The man was stunned for a moment, looking at the meat in his hand and didn't seem to react, but instinct made him send the meat to his mouth.

The other homeless people were stunned, watching the man do what they had in their hearts, but couldn't do it for the time being because of the bottom line, and then looked at the sad, disgusting but intoxicated look on the man's face after he woke up, and their steps moved.

The body was gone, leaving only clean bones, buried in the sand.

The boy who saw the whole disappearance process did not participate, but kept shrinking his body to disappear from their sight, and then left the team alone with the swaddling clothes.

Recalling this memory, Qiao Ximing didn't have much disgust in his heart, just sighed a little.

He didn't want to judge the practices of those homeless people, the struggle in the shadow of death can make people give up a lot of things, but in order to protect Xiaoqian in his arms, he chose to leave, and struggled tenaciously in the quicksand, and finally survived.

When the time was almost up, the sand was cut open, and then the outer layer of animal skin was unraveled, and the pieces of meat inside had already scattered into strips of cooked meat, exuding an appetizing fragrance.

"Eat, we'll be on our way later. ”

Xue Yiwu could see that his interest was not very high, blinked his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Joe, what do you mean when you say that before you go to Xinfan Town, you have to solve a legacy trouble?"

After eating the meat strips in his hand, Qiao Ximing looked at the west.

"Do you remember those two prison officers from Qin Du Town?"

Shae-i nodded.

"I left them with a clue of misunderstanding, and it was time to move on to the next link. ”

As soon as the palm of the hand was flipped over, a piece of leather the size of two fingers suddenly appeared in the palm of the palm, and the red lines on it were sinuous and twisted, outlining except for a number.

Eight!
