Night is slowly falling. At the Gobi stalls, the sun's rays are mostly obscured by the wind and sand, so the night comes a little earlier. There are no stars and no moon in the sky. It was pitch black, as if a curtain had shrouded the Gobi Desert for thousands of miles.

Chen Rui stepped down from the four-wheeled camel cart and saw that the guards had already lit piles of bonfires near the barracks. The raging fire brought light and warmth to this darkness. The fish caught from the crescent spring were baked on the fire, and the guards smelled the tempting fragrance and talked and laughed, a scene of peace and harmony.

"This fish is okay, here you go. Schroeder took a grilled fish from the shelf and handed it to Chenrui. "This is a silver-glowing rofe fish that is a specialty of Crescent Spring. Not only is the meat delicious, but it also helps to cultivate the mystical power. ”

In an afternoon, Chen Rui gradually got to know Schroeder. As a servant of the Wessex family, he has no right to personal freedom, but because the Wessex family is more friendly to human slaves, Schroeder has not been abused since childhood like other blood slaves. The Earl of Wessex also promised him that when he was eighteen years old, he would be given the status of a freeman and that of his family. This is a great grace for the human race living in the blood clan's territory. Therefore, Schroeder was very grateful to the Earl of Wessex, and naturally he was very loyal to him.

Since Hus and Fili grew up in the territory of the Terran and are also free people, they are very disdainful of such blood slaves. They hadn't talked to Schroeder all afternoon.

However, Chen Rui is different, he doesn't have much concept of slaves, and he is not a free man himself, so he is much closer to Schroeder.

The smell of fragrant grilled fish makes people appetite, and Chen Rui takes a mouthful, and the tender fish on the outside makes his taste buds bloom. "It's delicious, Eun, your craftsmanship is awesome. Chen Rui gave a thumbs up and praised.

Schroeder looked a little shy, "There is a big lake behind the Earls' Court, and I have loved fishing in that lake since I was a child. The Earl's family loved fishing. When I was young, I was fishing with Master Abkai on the lake, but when he caught it, he didn't have the strength to pull the fish up, so he asked me to go down and catch it with a net. ”

Schroeder's eyes were misty, and he seemed to be nostalgic for his past life.

"Why don't you come down and eat fish. I felt as if he was a little uncomfortable with the life of traveling, and seemed a little haggard and nervous. Chen Rui said to Schroeder.

"Every house has a scripture that is difficult to read. We ordinary people can eat enough, but they have to think about a lot of things. Schroeder sighed.

Chen Rui looked back at the four-wheeled camel cart, the dim light permeating the window, and Abukai's shadow could be seen from the outside.

In the afternoon in the car, Chen Rui felt that although this Abkai seemed very enthusiastic, there was always a melancholy look on his face. He was not tall and appeared a little thin. And the physique of the blood clan made his cheeks even paler.

"Go to bed early. Tomorrow is due to depart very early. Schroeder finished eating the fish and said to Chenrui.

At this time, Hus and Fili did not want to get too close to the blood and human slaves, so they went into the tent they had set up early and fell asleep.

Chenrui fiddled with the bonfire with a twig to make it burn longer. Suddenly, he saw a faint mist rise from beneath his feet. The mist was so thin that if you hadn't deliberately looked down at the fire, you might not have noticed it at all. The mist doesn't rise fast, but it doesn't mean to stop. Gradually, the mist passed the surface of the foot, and then it did not reach the knee.

"W-what is this?" shouted Chenrui.

The guards also noticed the change and took up arms. Schroeder looked back at the carriage in which Aboukai was sitting, the outline of which was becoming more and more blurred under the mist, and even the yellow light seeping from the window had turned into a faint yellow.

"Quick, get closer to the carriage and protect Childe!" Schroeder shouted loudly, and he ran towards the carriage as fast as he could.

Chen Rui took the sword 'Chixiao' from his back. The sea of qi in his body swirled, and the majestic Xuan power surged along the meridians to the sword-wielding right hand. Red lightning burst out and wrapped around the 'Red Sky'.

Chen Rui did not follow Schroeder, but ran towards the tent of Hus and Fili. Although Abkai helped him, it was two ways after all. The top priority is to round out with Huss and Fili to figure out what is really going on.

The fog grew heavier and heavier, gradually rising to a height of more than a person, everything around it became gray, and the vision became very poor, and only a distance of less than five meters could be seen in front of it. Chen Rui found that although he had been running in the direction of Yus's tent, he still took a fork in the road, and before he knew it, he came to the vicinity of the carriage.

The lights in the carriage were still dim, and the water surrounded by guards was impassable. Schroeder stood in front of the car, holding a long sword, and looked around vigilantly at the grass and trees.

The fog beneath his feet continued to rise, gradually reaching the necks of the guards. The ranks of guards guarding the carriage began to stir.

Schroeder's brow furrowed, and although he clearly felt that the fog was so strange, it had not done anyone any real harm so far.

"Formation!" Schroeder shouted. Bright silver light shot out from the gems set at the top of the guards' helmets, forming a vast web of light in an instant, enveloping the carriage and the entire procession in the center.

"The sky is like a dome, enveloping the four fields. "The ancestors of the Wessex family were born as sheep herders on the grasslands. As a Xuanli master with the attribute of "rock", when he was galloping his horse and whipping and crisscrossing the grassland, he suddenly had a realization. Realize that no matter how hard the whip is struck, no matter how fast the horse runs, it is still under the cover of the sky. So he created this defensive technique "Sky Dome Cage Field".

Although Schroeder is a Terran and awakens the Earth Mystery Qi, by chance, the Earl of Wessex discovers that he can also manipulate the "rock" attribute Mystery Qi as the dark side. Therefore, he taught him this method.

Schroder is better than the blue out of the blue, and he has even figured out a multi-person formation formation, which can borrow the power of other blood clans to strengthen this defensive skill.

This is one of the reasons why Wessex arranged for him to be Abukai's personal bodyguard.

Under the blessing of the Xuanli of many guards, the light network gradually expanded outward, and even shrouded Chen Rui in it. Chen Rui saw Schroeder nodding at him, and understood that this defensive light network actually had the function of distinguishing friend from foe. And within the light network, it is like an inner closed world, completely isolating the fog outside.

But the fog outside was getting higher and denser, and it was rising faster than the network expanded. In the end, the top of the light mesh was also covered.

The fog gradually thickened, and small strands squeezed desperately inward towards the gaps in the light net. The silver web of light crackled, one spark after another, annihilating a trace of mist that was barely squeezed in.

The fog became thicker and grayer and blacker, gradually gathering into several black clouds at the upper end of the light network. In an instant, a bright light flickered, and a huge thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck on the light web.

After the flickering of the fire, the network of light became dim. Chen Rui didn't know why, so he turned his head to ask Schroeder, but saw Schroeder kneeling on one knee, with the long sword stuck in the ground, relying on the support of the long sword, he barely fell. At this moment, his face was pale, but it was closer to the skin color of the blood clan, and beads of sweat kept sliding down his cheeks.

And the guards around him didn't look much better, with each other's support, although not a single one of them had fallen, but each of them had their teeth closed, and some of them had closed their eyes, as if they were already in a coma.

Chen Rui wanted to step forward to help Schroeder, but Schroeder waved his arm to stop him. He let out a loud cry, and a small stream of blood spurted out of his mouth and struck the sword.

The long sword suddenly burst into silver light, and a stream of light rushed straight to the dome, and the light network became bright again. However, the scope of the optical net shrank slightly, and it was just shrouded in the edge of Chenrui, who was standing on the outside.

Chen Rui faintly heard the sound of someone clapping. At this time, the fog outside the light net has gathered into the dark clouds at the top, and the surrounding area has become slightly clear under the illumination of the light network. I saw three black-clothed people in fluttering clothes, and slowly walked towards the light net.
