Chapter 9: Quicksand Spit

readx;

In the northwest of the single sail corner, the cave forest in the west of the quicksand land is also called the quicksand spit, in which all kinds of boulders are jagged like strange peaks and strange hills, abrupt and smooth lines, showing a faint blue-gray, like jagged teeth firmly rooted in the sand and gravel ground where the grass looms.

In the boulder forest, there is a small lake of several hundred square meters, and there is a protruding area of no more than ten square meters, just like the tongue in the mouth, shrinking in the center of the lake.

With the moisture of this lake, there are more vegetation in the quicksand mouth, and among some cracked stone peaks, there are even strange trees like tigers climbing mountains, covering the hot breath of the three suns.

The pillars are uneven, the sword peaks are listed, blocking the yellow sand outside, coupled with the transpiration of the lake and the lush grass and trees, making the air in the quicksand spit stone forest several times fresher than the outside world, and the sight transparency is also several points better.

Xiao Shun looked at this wonderful scenery, his eyes were full of novelty, and the fatigue of a few days of rushing was also swept away, every time he saw those strange stones like beasts, birds and fish, his mouth would let out an exclamation, and the child's heart was clear at a glance.

And beside him, there were four adults, three men and one woman, the woman pulled Xiaoshun, and Ugush walked behind him, his eyes jumped on Xiaoshun's back and the stone forest, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Look, isn't that rock on the west side howling like a wolfmon howling at the sky......? Xiaoshun?"

The woman who spoke was pulling Xiaoshun, not very old, no more than twenty, with long golden hair tied behind her, just covered with a layer of dust, and a little dirty. At this time, the smile on her face froze slightly, because beside her, Xiao Shun, who was still novel, unexpectedly lowered her mood after hearing her words.

"Xiaoshun, did my sister say the wrong thing?"

Ugush suddenly stepped forward, put his right hand on the top of Xiaoshun's head, touched his head and said apologetically: "It's Xiaoshun's brother, a few days ago, he was ...... by the wild wolf."

The woman immediately covered her mouth, her eyes showed the love and pity unique to motherhood, and after a low snort, she squatted down and hugged Xiaoshun's shoulder: "I'm sorry, Sister Aisha doesn't know these things, Xiaoshun don't be angry." ”

Although he is still a child, Xiaoshun is a very well-behaved kind, and when he was comforted by Aisha like this, he shook his head again and again, squeezed out a few smiles on his face, and then said in a clear voice: "It's okay, it's just that I didn't meet Brother Ding earlier, otherwise Brother Bao'er wouldn't have had an accident!"

As he spoke, he remembered something, turned to look up at Ugush and asked, "Uncle Wu, where has he been, Brother Ding?"

An imperceptible obscure light drifted through Ugush's eyes, and then a smile rolled up: "It's okay, your brother Ding was just injured in the previous battle, and now he is following Sister Aisha's friend to heal." ”

"Brother Ding is because of my injury...... Xiaoshun's mood was a little lower again: "Will it be serious?"

"No, it's just a few flesh wounds, and it will be fine in two days. ”

"Great! Uncle Wu, when Brother Ding's injury is healed, shall we go to find Mama? She must be very hungry outside, and she has no water to drink, I don't know ......."

Xiao Shun had a longing expression on his face, and he talked about his worries, but he didn't notice the hideousness in Wu Gushi's eyes.

"Mama, Xiaoshun, are you still outside?" Aisha was a little curious.

And Xiaoshun immediately nodded: "Mama and we are separated, and Aunt Liang, Uncle Zhu ......"

One by one, the names came out of Xiao Shun's mouth, which made Ugush's face more and more gloomy, because the people who were 'separated' from them in Xiao Shun's mouth, Ugush knew their whereabouts very clearly.

Even now, there may still be some remnants of those people in the bodies of the two of them.

Suddenly, he felt the eyes of Aisha and the other two men looking at him, his heart moved slightly, his face piled up a sad expression, he stood behind Xiaoshun and gently shook his head at Aisha and the three of them.

This expression is very concise and easy to understand: none of the people Xiao Shun said survived, but because he was just a child, the truth was temporarily concealed and not let him know.

Aisha's faces suddenly showed a hint of realization, and her favorability towards Ugushh also increased a lot.

To be able to survive in the quicksand with a child for months, and to protect his young mind in such a way, such a person is indeed worthy of respect.

Looking at the expressions of Aisha and the others, Ugush sneered in his heart, but there was still a kind and kind smile on his face, as if Xiaoshun was like his own son to him.

Aisha diverted the topic, and soon brought Xiaoshun out again, who had fallen into a low mood, and the two pointed to the surrounding scenery and talked and laughed, and finally stopped in front of a grotto under a huge rock.

"Brother Wu, this is a place arranged for you, and the straw mats have already been laid out inside. We don't have a lot of people, so if you need some groceries, you can come to me, but most of the others, you may have to make them yourself. ”

Aisha's words had a slight apology, mainly for Xiaoshun, and Ugush immediately smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's already our luck that you can take us in and provide us with housing in the quicksand spit!"

The Ugush gave the three Aisha a very good feeling, and the axe-wielding young man who appeared with them was extremely strong, and the expressions of the three were very friendly.

"Then Brother Wu, you should rest for a while, and when Brother Litt comes back, I should see you immediately. ”

Ugushi nodded again and again, watching the figures of the three of them gradually fade away, his smile gradually faded, and then he glanced at Xiao Shun, who was still waving his hand, snorted coldly in his heart, and turned his head into the grotto.

......

The young man surnamed Ding was sitting in a grotto near the lake in the center of the quicksand spit at the moment, his hood was still not removed, and in front of him was a woman with a light body, although she was only wearing a rough leather costume, it was difficult to hide her crystal like jade skin, her temperament was elegant, and her thin eyebrows were carved with eyes that fluctuated like water, which could be regarded as a stunning beauty.

The woman dragged the young man's left hand, the wound in the palm of his hand had been cleaned, and she was carefully bandaging him with a clean strip of cloth, and her expression was extremely concentrated.

"These injuries are not serious, they are just superficial injuries, and you should be fine after a few days of rest. But ......" The woman's lips opened lightly, and her breath was like an orchid, but the young man just looked at the outside of the grotto, as if he was looking at something, and when he heard the turning tone, he turned his head to look at the woman, waiting for her second half of the sentence: "I heard Qiqiao say that you were fighting with the Thornball Beast at the time, and the wound on your hand was indeed pierced by the Thornball Beast, so you must have been injected with yang poison." ”

As low-level beast soldiers, their control range is no more than three or four square meters, and they can only be used to form a rough attack like a sand pillar spray, so what they need to pay attention to the most is the strong yang poison injected through the stinger that changes on the body surface, this yang poison does not hurt the skin, but it has a strong corrosive effect on the flesh and bones of the internal organs.

Ordinary people are injected with yang poison, but it will turn into a hot soup held by the skin in a few minutes, and although the physique of the capable person is much stronger, the resistance to this yang poison will still depend on the person, and the vitality attribute of some capable people will even accelerate the outbreak of yang poison.

But the young man just shook his head indifferently, and changed the topic when he spoke: "This team of homeless people in the quicksand spit is called Litt who is in charge?"

The woman was slightly stunned, looked at the young man with a hood, and her eyes showed a somewhat wary look: "Everyone here is in charge of their own survival, but the person who brought us to the quicksand spit safely in the first place was indeed Brother Little." ”

The young man noticed the woman's vigilance, but he didn't care, nodded and stood up. The wounds on his hands had been treated, and he was ready to leave the woman's grotto.

Such an attitude made the woman frown, but she did not stop it, and just watched the young man's back and walked to the entrance of the cave.

The footsteps suddenly stopped, and the young man spoke up again: "What's your name?"

The woman frowned and hesitated for a moment, but finally opened her mouth, and her tone was colder than at first: "My name is Hua Lan, the doctor of the quicksand mouth. ”

The figure at the entrance of the cave stood in place for a long time, then seemed to nod, and his footsteps moved again, stepping out of the grotto.

Hua Lan looked at the entrance of the cave, and her heart was filled with strange emotions.

This man is so strange!

......

"Brother Ding, your grotto has arrived!"

After coming out of Hualan's grotto, the young man was taken to the place where Xiaoshun was by the two men who had led him before, and the person who spoke was called Qiqiao, and they, like Aisha, were also one of the five people who saw the young man's earth-shattering blow outside the quicksand mouth, and at this time, looking at the young man, the worship in his eyes was still not less.

Even if it's Big Brother Little, it's not as strong as him!

The young man nodded, and under the hood, he couldn't see any expression.

"Brother Ding!"

Xiaoshun's surprised voice came from the grotto, and he trotted out all the way and grabbed the young man's right hand.

The young man lowered his head and reached out to rub Xiaoshun's head.

"Brother Ding, we finally have a place to live! There is a bed made of grass inside, which is much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground!"

"Then you go and rest for a while, my brother should also rest for a while, and then play with you when he wakes up, okay?"

Xiaoshun nodded obediently, said hello to the two of them, and jumped into the grotto again.

Qiqiao originally wanted to have a good relationship with the young man, but before he could speak, his companion next to him pulled him and said first: "Since Brother Ding wants to rest, then we won't bother!"

"Hmm. ”

The young man replied lightly, and then turned around and entered the grotto.

Although Qiqiao was a little unwilling, he still left with his companions, with a look of disappointment on his face.

In the grotto, there were three straw mats woven from hay, and Ugush, who was lying down, immediately sat up when he heard the voice of the young man, and watched the figure walk in with a little nervousness.

But the young man ignored him, stopped at another vacant straw mat, and sat down cross-legged.

Hua Lan was right, since the young man had been pierced by the Thorn Ball Beast, he had indeed suffered from the injection of yang poison, but fortunately, it was only a first-level beast soldier, and the poison was fierce, but it would not have a fatal effect on him.

But he still needed time, meditating on the venom in his body that had been isolated for a long time.

So, there was silence in the grotto, Xiao Shun still had a low fever, and he was invigorated for a while under the strange scenery of the stone forest, and now he lay down and quickly fell asleep, and the thoughts in the heart of the Ugush continued, and the afterglow kept scanning the young man who was meditating, and no one spoke.

In this way, the atmosphere was silent for several hours, until it became darker, and suddenly footsteps were heard at the entrance of the cave, and then the Ugush heard Aisha's voice.

"Big Brother Litt is back, Brother Ding, Brother Wu, Xiaoshun, come with me to meet Big Brother Little!"
