Chapter 104: Robbery and Danger
On the western horizon, the red half of the sunset is about to fall. The cool evening breeze gently caressed the barren fields.
Suddenly, on the empty meadow, the shadow of a meditating man mysteriously revealed. The figure was hazy at first, faint as smoke, and after a few breaths, it became completely clear.
There was a dead silence in his ears! Bian Yao suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head vigilantly and looked around, not seeing any movement or danger around him, he exhaled a soothing breath.
The prairie is surprisingly peaceful. The light breeze in the face, the dim color of the sky after sunset, as if quietly telling something, everything looks beautiful and peaceful.
Bian Yao slapped his palms on the ground and stood up, he first looked around, and then turned his face to the northwest to stare in the direction where the group had fled earlier.
Needless to say, the team must be gone! Judging by the speed at which they were running, there was no way to escape from the locust's predatory area, and if nothing happened, everyone else would have been in the locust's belly.
Before they had gone deep into the chaotic plains, the team had already collapsed! Of course, encountering the "locust tide of ants" could only be regarded as an extremely unlucky accident, and every year there would inevitably be some teams that crossed the chaotic plains, and unfortunately all of them were drowned in the tide of beasts or insects, and there was no way to avoid it! Since we had the courage to enter the chaotic plain, we must be mentally prepared to endure all kinds of accidents.
The fiery sunset had long since disappeared completely, leaving only the glow of the sunset in the western sky.
Bian Yao stood stunned and thought for a moment, dispelling the idea of returning to Jade City to find a team again, this time and again delayed a lot of time, not to mention, even if he found another team, he might not be able to reach Shu County safely.
He decided to take a little risk first and walk alone for the time being, anyway, he has a special ability to be "invisible". As long as you are cautious at all times, you should not encounter danger in a short period of time.
Normally, at least five or six teams would set out from Jade City to enter the Chaos Plain every day. If you're lucky, it won't take a few days for Bian Yao to meet other teams, or dream cultivators who have been separated by an accident.
Although deep down in his heart, he also had the urge to walk through the chaotic plains alone, but he wouldn't really do it, because he knew his strength very well. Bian Yao has always been a more cautious person, which is related to his experience when he was a child, coupled with the teachings of the night corpse later. Especially in a dangerous and unfamiliar environment, he would never make decisions blindly.
After some careful consideration, Bian Yao turned around and rushed towards the southwest. First of all, he wanted to make sure that he would not encounter a returning "locust tide" again, so he had to stay as far away as possible from the path it was traveling.
Half an hour later, it was completely dark, and twinkling stars began to dot the night.
Bian Yao stopped running and listened for a while, but there was no sound except for the sound of the wind and grass, not even the chirping of autumn insects. It seems that it has been swept by the "locust tide", and for a short time, the neighborhood will be completely and completely quiet for a while.
After sitting down on the grass casually and eating two spirit fruits, Bian Yao lay down with his head in his hands, staring at the stars in the night sky with his eyes wide open, and couldn't help but start thinking crankily. He still has lingering feelings about what happened during the day.
For those sword maniacs and late-stage dream maniacs who insist on walking alone, the possibility and probability of death are also very high. However, in addition to their conceited nature and strong strength and survival experience, there is also one most important reason why they choose to go into the chaotic place alone: that is, to overcome all kinds of unexpected dangers through experience and experience, so as to seek opportunities or factors that will help break through the bottleneck of cultivation.
There is no doubt that for Bian Yao, walking alone was a temporary decision he made as a last resort, not his original intention and wish. He has neither the speed and combat power of the sword maniac, nor some special abilities that the later dream maniac will have, and now he does not have the basic conditions to break into the chaos alone, if he continues to walk alone like this, it can only be said that he is killing himself!
Since you are alone, you don't have to worry about revealing your secrets. That night, in order to avoid encountering unexpected dangers, Bian Yao hid the body of his body after entering the dream realm.
In the early morning, the air is slightly cool, and the smell of the grassland is refreshing and pleasant.
The sky was dark, and the stars above had not yet faded. Bian Yao got up and continued to rush towards the southwest, walking alone in the chaotic place, naturally he had to be more careful and diligent than before.
It is better to run all the way in a hurry, and it is better to rush in the grassland, but it is much more difficult and dangerous to run in the wet land full of depressions and ponds, and the annoying dry sand and wild woods. In general, so far, Bian Yao has walked a good section.
Near noon, Bian Yao stopped and sat on the grass to rest and adjust.
A moment later, when he stood up, he inadvertently noticed a small figure behind him, and it was running towards him.
Bian Yao looked at the approaching figure, and his heart was naturally very happy, he didn't expect to meet other teams or lonely people in a short period of time. In any case, it's better to be in a dangerous state of chaos than to be alone.
He stood there motionless, waiting quietly. It wasn't long before the figure came close and stopped a foot away.
The person who came was a middle-aged man, wearing a somewhat tattered pale yellow coat with many small holes in it. There were also several small wounds on his ears and face, as if he had been bitten by something, and the man's face showed a little tiredness, and the whole person looked a little embarrassed.
Bian Yao stared at the man for a few moments, and guessed from the direction from which the man came, the other party was most likely attacked by locusts. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart! Although he couldn't know the specific cultivation realm of the other party, he could feel that the man in yellow should be a dreamer, so he kept an eye on it.
"May I ask this friend, have you encountered a tide of locusts?" Bian Yao asked the man in yellow after a short thought.
"That's right, I originally rushed to Shuxian with a team of early dreamers, but I didn't expect to encounter a locust tide yesterday afternoon, but fortunately I was on the edge of the insect tide attack area, and I was the only one in the whole team who escaped with my life! Friend, are you alone, or ......?" The man in yellow took a few quick breaths, then raised his eyes to look at Bian Yao, and asked with a puzzled face.
"Like you, I was fortunate to be on the edge of the locust tide route, so I was able to save my life. However, the whole team was scattered, so I had to walk alone for the time being. Bian Yao looked at the man and smiled slightly, and replied half-truthfully.
"Is it just scattered, or are everyone else eaten by locusts?" the man asked with a smile, but the wounds on his face made his smile look a little intimidating.
Bian Yao was stunned for a short time after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "At that time, I was only concerned about escaping for my life when I encountered that situation, so I didn't pay attention to the situation of others, but I think I should be the only one who escaped." ”
"Looking at the direction and route taken by my friend, it should also be to Shuxian. In that case, it is better for the two of us to go together, and then look for the team or the lone person on the way. The man in yellow stared at Bian Yao carefully for a few moments, and suddenly opened his mouth to propose.
"I'm sorry, I have other things to do, and it's not convenient to travel with people at this time. Bian Yao's face was cloudy, and he hurriedly made an excuse to refuse the man's proposal.
From the reply of the man in yellow just now, it can be preliminarily determined that the other party is a mid-term dreamer. As a result, he had to brace himself and deal with it carefully. If the other party is also a late-stage dreamwalker, or an early-stage dreamer, perhaps he will not hesitate to choose to walk with him.
The man in yellow in front of him, although he looked quite friendly, this may just be because the other party didn't know his true strength, and regarded himself as a dream cultivator of the same level. Once he walks with him, his true realm will be easily exposed, and if the other party has bad intentions after learning that he only has the late realm of Dream Walker, he is definitely not his opponent!
When his colleague's proposal was rejected, the man in yellow obviously showed a bit of surprise on his face, but he didn't say anything more, just smiled, and then meditated on the spot to rest.
Seeing this, Bian Yao said goodbye to the man, turned around and rushed towards the southwest at a high speed.
After that, he stayed day and night, and he spent two days safely.
On the third day, Bian Yao entered a wetland full of depressions, and he had to slow down his journey and pay more attention to his surroundings and neighborhood, in case there would be fierce beasts hiding in some deep ponds.
In the evening, Bian Yao decided to stop his journey early. He bent down to wash his face in a pond of clear water, and then began to look for a relatively dry area. After half a pillar of incense, he sat cross-legged on a slightly damp grass, took out a few spirit fruits from the space bag and ate them.
The autumn sunset is very beautiful, and the clouds on the horizon are like bright silk, and the brilliance is gorgeous.
Bian Yao sat on his knees with his right arm resting on his knee, quietly watching the sunset while waiting for the twilight to fall.
Suddenly, a hint of alarm flashed in his heart, and he quickly shook his face and looked in a certain direction behind him, and his pupils suddenly shrank. I saw that not far away, a figure was quietly approaching him, and looking at his appearance, it was the man in yellow he had seen two days ago.
For a moment, Bian Yao faintly felt that something was wrong! He didn't speak, but slowly stood up, staring at the man in yellow who was walking towards him, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back.
The man in yellow stopped less than two feet away from the side, and after letting out a few strange laughs with a hideous face, he said, "Hand over the book on your body that records the cultivation exercises!"
"What kind of book for cultivating exercises, why are you following me?" Bian Yao felt a little inexplicable, and then anger welled up in his eyes, as if he hated the man's behavior very much!
"I thought it was strange at first, seeing that you are quite young, the realm must not be high. But not only did you escape from the tide of locusts, but you also dared to walk alone in the chaotic plains after losing your ranks, which shows that you must have something to rely on! I can see that you have lied to me, and I wanted to follow you out of curiosity. In the past three days, judging from the speed of your journey and some of your actions, you should be a late-stage dreamwalker, at most, you only have the strength of the early stage of dream-roaming. It would be fine if there was only that, but I never expected you to hide your body when you were resting at night!" When the man in yellow said this, he couldn't help but laugh, looking very excited and excited!
After hearing the man's words, Bian Yao couldn't help but grit his teeth, and at the same time secretly blamed himself. No matter how cautious he was, he still aroused the suspicion of the other party, and he didn't notice that he was being followed, and the key was to inadvertently expose his secret!
"Quickly hand over the exercise that can hide your figure! You can choose to hand it over on your own initiative, or I will take it myself, you should understand the difference!" The man in yellow smiled and said threatening words as he took a few steps forward.
The sunset on the horizon gradually dissipated, and the faint twilight began to appear on the earth.
Bian Yao clenched his fists and stood like a wooden man, he felt extremely nervous! This was a crisis that had never been seen before, no one would suddenly show up to help, and if he wanted to survive, he could only rely on himself! He knew very well that he would definitely not be able to avoid doing it, because he would not be able to hand over the so-called "exercises to hide his body" at all! And the man in yellow would not believe his words at all!
"That set of exercises was taught to me orally, and it was very complicated, and I didn't have a book to record it. Bian Yao glared angrily and said angrily. He forced himself to calm down, trying to delay as much time as possible, and when it was dark, he might be able to rely on the cover of night and use the geography to escape.
"Don't want to delay time! There are a lot of people who have died at my hands, if you have any tricks and ideas, you'd better put them away as soon as possible!" The man in yellow may have guessed his thoughts, and laughed coldly: "Give you ten breaths of time to think about it! Throw the space bag over first, otherwise don't blame me for doing it!"
"Okay!" Bian Yao paused and said, "You stand back, I'll give you the space bag first! If you don't believe me, you can check for yourself if there is anything you want in it." ”
A twilight breeze blew, and the tension increased.
Because of the lack of experience in the past life, he was unfortunately targeted by people with bad intentions, and in the vast and boundless chaotic place, the young Bian Yao was in a helpless and extremely dangerous situation!
(ps: The cold is almost better, and there is a mental state code word again, muhaha...... )
