Chapter 50: The Night of the Blood Bath
There was no moon in the night sky, only sparse stars, which were emitting a faint light.
In the vast night desert, the sound of the wheels is particularly clear. In the night, a sudden wolf howl came from an unknown distance.
If it weren't for the dangers lurking in the mix, it would all seem so natural. As for the desert night walk, it is even more of a strange and interesting thing!
On the moving carriage, none of the four people in Bian Yao spoke, and they all vigilantly divided into four directions, silently observing the surrounding environment, and the atmosphere became very tense and anxious.
In this way, after about two pillars of incense, the young man first noticed the abnormality.
"There seem to be a few in the back!" he said suddenly.
Hearing this, Bian Yao and the middle-aged man turned their faces to look behind at the same time. I saw that dozens of feet away, there were a few glowing eyes staring at the carriage, and they always kept a certain distance from Bian Yao.
"Do they want to follow like this all the time?" Bian Yao felt a little strange.
"When they gather a certain number, they attack. I'm going to kill them so I don't get into too much trouble. Before the middle-aged man's words fell, he had already jumped out of the carriage with his knife in his hand, and his body jumped quickly towards the rear.
Not long after, a few short wails were faintly heard from behind, and the pairs of green wolf eyes disappeared.
Soon, the middle-aged man caught up and jumped back into the moving carriage.
"Listen, you two, if you are really attacked by wolves, you must not let them get near the horses. As for the sand scorpion, there is no need to worry, the skin within half a foot above the hooves of the jack horse is very hard, and the needle puncture on the tail of the sand scorpion cannot cause damage to it. The middle-aged man said seriously.
Among the three, the middle-aged man has the highest realm and the most experience. Moreover, it was a matter of the success or failure of the mission and his own life, Bian Yao and the young man were naturally willing to follow his instructions and arrangements, so they both nodded their heads to show that they understood.
In the following hour, they were targeted by several groups of sand wolves, but there were not many of them. Every time they find it, they will be killed by Bian Yao and them as quickly as possible.
In this way, the wheels kept running over the sand and rolled forward.
After another hour or so of incense, suddenly, a long, deep howl sounded behind the carriage.
"Not good! Minor sand wolves, after discovering the corpses of their own kind, become restless and make the most primitive calls. It's going to be a big trouble now!" The middle-aged man spoke, and his tone couldn't help but become solemn.
"I'm going to kill it!" Bian Yao listened, grabbed the iron sword and was about to jump out of the carriage.
"Don't go, it's too late~!" the middle-aged man stopped in a loud voice.
Bian Yao was stunned for a moment, and before he could come back to his senses, he only heard countless howls sounding around him one after another, far and near, high and low.
"Young man, I think you're quite agile. When you go to the left, try to keep it parallel to the carriage and keep the distance to about 30 zhang. And to make some big noise, to attract the attention of the sand wolves coming from the south. I went to the right and drew the sand wolves to the north. ”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking to Bian Yao, he turned his eyes to the young man and continued: "Since you don't have a weapon, you follow closely next to the carriage to deal with the sand wolves that appear in front and behind. All you have to do is keep quiet, and basically all the sand wolves around you will be attracted to the two of us, so you will have little stress and no major problems. If my boy and I are in danger of dying for our lives, you can rush to help. ”
Bian Yao and the young man nodded resolutely and did not make a sound.
"No matter what happens, just move forward, don't worry about us!" the middle-aged man turned his head again and said solemnly to the old man driving the car in front of him.
"Don't worry, my ordinary old bones won't help much, all I can do is do my best not to drag you down. The old man replied without looking back.
"You have to keep in mind that although the toxin contained in the tail spine of the sand scorpion is not strong, if the toxin injected into the body reaches a certain level, it will still affect the ability to move, so you should avoid being stabbed by it as much as possible. Since the previous two times I passed through this place, I had passed by at a rapid pace, and I was not attacked by sand scorpions, so I didn't think of preparing the leggings this time. That's all I have to say, according to what I said before, action!" As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he first jumped out of the carriage with his knife and ran in the direction of the diagonal north.
Bian Yao got out of the car with his sword and rushed towards the diagonal south. The young man jumped out of the carriage and followed closely beside the carriage to guard against the sand wolves attacking from the front and rear.
"Ah~ha~!" Bian Yao began to shout loudly while keeping parallel to the carriage. The middle-aged man on the other side also kept shouting.
It didn't take much time, Bian Yao found more and more glowing green eyes approaching him quickly, and he couldn't help but be a little excited, nervous, scared, and excited......
Bian Yao's strange cry alarmed and attracted the sand wolf. In the middle of the tea, more than a dozen of them surrounded him, and from time to time they let out a low bark, and their numbers were increasing as they kept moving. Bian Yao did not stop taking the initiative to attack.
These sand wolves are not very large, only slightly larger than the average domestic dog, and if they are not very numerous, they are really not a threat to dreamwalkers.
Just when the number of sand wolves increased to nearly thirty, they began to attack Bian Yao. Three relatively sturdy sand wolves suddenly pounced on Bian Yao from different aspects.
Although Bian Yao had been running, he had been distracting most of his attention on the wolves around him, and the slightest movement of the sand wolf would be noticed by him. But when he turned around and swung his sword, in an instant, three sand wolves fell to the sand.
However, the battle has just begun!
The sand wolf who had attacked Bian Yao had just been injured and fell to the ground, and before he could blink an eye, several more sand wolves pounced on him from different directions. Some of these sand wolves are going for his legs and feet, some want to tear his arm, and some want to bite his neck.
Under the swift sword swing of Bian Yao, there were constantly wounded or killed sand wolves, but their numbers never decreased. Because there are sand wolves in the middle of the way, they are attracted and join the pursuit team.
Bian Yao had stopped shouting continuously, and at this time, the sand wolves around Bian Yao, their running and howling movements, had already overwhelmed the sound of the carriage thirty feet away.
In just a stick of incense, Bian Yao had already been attacked by dozens of sand wolves, but his body was not harmed in the slightest.
At this time, Bian Yao had already secretly put the iron sword into the space bag, and at the same time took the Wusha sword in his hand. After all, the sharpness and feel of the Wusha Sword are countless times better than that of the Iron Sword. Anyway, under the cover of night and distance, others can't find out.
Half an hour has passed, and Bian Yao is killing up. He clearly understood that he had to seize every opportunity to improve and accumulate his combat experience! In his opinion, this was not only a task, but also a kind of cultivation exercise! In fact, compared to some of the alien beasts he had encountered in his previous cultivation, these guys were much weaker in terms of single attack power.
The edge of the Wusha sword slashed through the neck of the sand wolf, and Bian Yao always staggered his steps as he swung his sword against them.
Suddenly, he felt a stab on his ankle, and his heart couldn't help but tighten!
"Damn! the sand scorpion has finally appeared!" Bian Yao subconsciously jumped into the air, turning his head to look at where he had been.
Under the starlight, he could roughly see the appearance of the guy, the sand scorpion was a foot long, and the scorpion tail was curled high.
As soon as the soles of his feet hit the ground, Bian Yao jumped up and split it in half with a sword, in revenge for being stabbed. Then, without waiting for the sand wolf to get close, he jumped up again and ran west.
Next, while Bian Yao was on guard against and dealing with the sand wolf attack, he had to keep an eye on his feet at all times. The middle-aged man's warning words, he remembered very clearly, if he was pricked too much by the tail thorns of the sand scorpion, the indirect consequences could be life-threatening.
An hour passed, and even though he was already very careful, Bian Yao's left and right ankles were still stung by sand scorpions several times. His speed and reflexes began to drop, and he was drenched in sweat. Although the body has not been injured by the invasion of the sand wolf, if this situation continues, it is only a matter of time before it is injured.
Not long after, while dealing with the sand wolf, Bian Yao was stabbed again in the back of his right foot. After slashing the sand scorpion in a rage, he didn't take a few steps when he suddenly felt the strength of his right leg lose strength, and he stumbled and fell on the sand.
Seeing this, the pursuing wolves excitedly swarmed up and pounced on Bian Yao, who fell to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was critical! Bian Yao suddenly rolled on the spot, and at the same time, a sword light quickly swept over, and seven or eight wolf legs fell in an instant. He barely stood up, swinging his sword in place and slashing at the approaching sand wolf.
However, under the siege of the sand wolves, a weak leg can be a fatal problem! Soon, his left arm was bitten. In a hurry, Bian Yao wanted to shout for help.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that there was a red spirit fruit called "Qing Ling" in the space bag, this spirit fruit had excellent resistance to the toxins of most animals, and it was left to him by the night corpse earlier.
Bian Yao's consciousness moved slightly, took out a "Qingling Fruit" and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice quickly, and swallowed it vigorously. Suddenly, the heaviness and powerlessness in the body began to subside rapidly.
After more than a dozen breaths, Bian Yao's speed and reflexes improved again. He swung his sword in quick succession, cutting down the approaching sand wolf, and then turned around and sped west, he didn't want to lose the carriage, it would be extremely troublesome.
After consuming the Qingling Fruit, the sand scorpion no longer posed a threat to Bian Yao. Half an hour later, he ate two more "Source Spirit Fruits" to relieve the fatigue of his body, and he regained his courage again.
In this way, Bian Yao fell into a state close to "obsession", he didn't care how many sand wolves and sand scorpions he had killed, until the number of sand wolves began to decrease significantly.
Suddenly looking back, he suddenly noticed that the eastern sky seemed to glow with a faint light.
Bian Yao was overjoyed, put away the Wusha sword, and then held the iron sword back in his hand, and continued to deal with the few remaining sand wolves.
At dawn, the sand wolf gradually retreated, and the sand scorpion was long gone.
"It's okay!" a tired but joyful voice came into Bian Yao's ears.
Bian Yao turned to stop and looked behind him. In the field of vision, dozens of black dots can be faintly seen, which are the corpses left by the sand wolf. Bian Yao grinned, suddenly turned around and rushed to the carriage not far away.
"Holy Immortal bless, you are all safe. The old man who was driving stopped the carriage, and a smile of relief bloomed on his wrinkled old face.
Bian Yao was the last to jump into the carriage. He first looked at the middle-aged man a few times, and found that every part of his body was stained red, and there were countless traces of blood on his face, and the young man was fine, with very little blood stained on his clothes, and finally he looked down at his clothes and arms, which were also dyed red, as if he had been in a blood bath.
"None of them seem to be seriously injured, so you can rest in the car in peace. When you get out of the desert, find a place with water and wash it well. The old man's gaze swept back and forth over Bian Yao's body for a moment, then he sat back and shook the reins, and the wheels rolled again.
"Haha~" Bian Yao and the three of them sat on the carriage, and after looking at each other a few times, they couldn't help laughing.
On the way to the City of Light Wind, the most dangerous night has passed. Until you reach your destination, you will never encounter any more danger.
