Chapter 117: A Thousand Miles of Hardship
readx;? The moon is in the sky, the stars are like fighting, the southwest wasteland is deserted, the death-like silence is shrouded in this wilderness, it seems that even snakes, insects, rats and ants are too lazy to come out, and occasionally a gust of wind blows through, quietly and silently blowing across the earth, withered grass drifts, and the ground is full of remnants.

Suddenly, accompanied by a rapid and chaotic sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, only to see countless torches suddenly emerge from the darkness, under the reflection of the torches, hundreds of riders holding long knives, men dressed in Louzong costumes roared from this sand dune, instantly brought a gust of wind and sand under the roar of a gust of wind, wantonly floating between this world and the world, and did not disperse for a long time.
The direction of these men was the raging sea of fire thirty miles to the north, which was the only "lively" place in the entire southwestern desert. Not only can there be a sky-high fire that reflects half of the sky, but you can also faintly hear bursts of noisy sounds mixed with scolding and exclamations.
The horses galloped through the dunes almost in the blink of an eye, and the great convoy of horses swept swiftly through it like a gust of wind, leaving no trace of anything but a cloud of dust thrown up.
"Rustling ......"
Just after the horse team galloped past half a cup of tea, there was a sudden sound of extremely subtle sand loosening in the sand dunes full of horseshoe prints, and then I saw a low-lying place of the dune, the originally calm and waveless sand suddenly trembled, and then the sound of the sand loosening became louder and louder, and then I saw the sand suddenly rise up, and then a weak figure panting and sweating was tumbling out of the sand, this person was Lu Yifan, who had just escaped from the encirclement with the help of the chaos of the fireγ
At this moment, Lu Yifan's blood-covered body was already covered with sand, I have to say that although the sand is not a wound medicine, it is very effective in stopping the bleeding for Lu Yifan's countless wounds of all sizes, but the same swelling and pain caused by the sand invading the wound also made Lu Yifan suffer.
"Whew!"
Lu Yifan sat weakly next to a decayed wooden stake, panting heavily, the severe pain of the wounds all over his body and the poison of the bloodthirsty red spider in his body made him even more depressed at the moment, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and under the frowning brows, a pair of tightly narrowed eyes flashed with a touch of perseverance to prevent himself from fainting.
Since he was a child, Lu Yifan has suffered a lot of injuries, whether it is external or internal injuries, it has long been commonplace for him, but today is the first time in his life that he has suffered such an embarrassing injury.
And what Lu Yifan is not used to the most is that he can get effective treatment and rest in time after being injured in the past, whether it is in Jinling City or in the Holy Soul Academy, no matter what the injury is, at least he can be sure that his life is safe. Tonight was a very different situation, tonight he had to rely on himself, no one would come to save him, and no one would come to heal him after he passed out. In other words, tonight's Lu Yifan experienced for the first time what it means to be a line between life and death.
If he is discovered by the disciples of Lou Sect later, with Lu Yifan's current state, it is impossible to say that he will fight with him, even if he wants to put up a position with others, he is afraid that it will become extremely difficult.
"I can't sleep, I'll die if I sleep......" Lu Yifan endured the drowsiness in his head, repeating this sentence to himself over and over again, until now he finally understood what Heavenly Grace Impermanence said to him, no matter what kind of cultivation in a comfortable environment, it is far less useful than going to the cruel world to really experience life and death.
In such a cruel environment tonight, if Lu Yifan was allowed to hone for twenty or thirty years, he believed that his achievements would not be worse than Han Xiao.
Lu Yifan slowly breathed his breath, but unfortunately under the erosion of the red spider's poison, the current Lu Yifan had no way to mobilize his soul power, let alone guide his soul power to heal his internal injuries, there was only one thing he could do now, that is, he gasped aimlessly, and endured his sleepiness to prevent himself from fainting. Other than that, he couldn't muster up the slightest energy to do anything else.
"Ji Yuan, Ling'er...... You should have fled far away by now......" Lu Yifan looked at the endless darkness in the north, looking at the endless yellow wilderness as far as the eye could see, and a smile of relief gradually appeared on his face, "You must be safe and sound......
"Ahem......"
Suddenly, Lu Yifan coughed violently, and mouthfuls of blood spurted out of his mouth as if he didn't want money, and the blood he spit out at this moment was no longer red, but a terrifying black, which was a sign of the poison in his body.
"No...... They will soon find out that I am not in the fire...... I have to go a little farther away......" Lu Yifan endured the severe pain in his body, stood up slowly, and his slightly confused eyes gently swept a glance at the sea of fire that had gradually extinguished in the distance, and then he wanted to raise his feet and walk into the distance, but just after he took two steps, Lu Yifan suddenly realized something, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of contemplation.
"If they can't find me, will they chase north?" Lu Yifan muttered to himself, "If they chase north...... Wouldn't that Ji Yuan and Ling'er be in danger...... No, no, no...... I'm going to have to figure out how to do it......"
Thinking of this, Lu Yifan, who was frowning, suddenly moved his eyes, he looked down at his tattered robe, and then reached out and tore off a large piece of bloodstained cloth from his waist, threw it on the ground, and then swayed towards the south with satisfaction.
In this way, Lu Yifan threw down a rag every twenty or thirty miles and left it for the disciples of Lou Zong to be a "road sign", and the route was deliberately twisted and turned, one to the south, one to the east, and one to the west, anyway, not to the north. And the injuries in his body didn't allow him to go on like this forever, so he had to stop and catch his breath every time he walked, but he didn't dare to fall asleep, because he was afraid that the people of Lou Zong would catch up when he was asleep.
Sure enough, Lou Mo soon found out that Lu Yifan took advantage of the chaos to escape, which made him sad for his "pet" bloodthirsty red spider with countless casualties, so he turned his sadness into anger, and after meeting with the reinforcements of Lou Zong who came in a hurry, he immediately ordered people to search thoroughly within a radius of fifty miles, and the disciples of Lou Zong also successfully found the bloody shirt that Lu Yifan deliberately left behind after a stick of incense.
When Lou Mo learned that the disciples of Lou Sect who came in a hurry had "passed" in the same place as Lu Yifan, his already gloomy face became even more exciting, and he only felt as if he had been teased by Lu Yifan, and the sense of shame in his heart made him very angry.
And when Lou Mo figured all this out, Lu Yifan had already fled south for dozens of miles unconsciously.
From night to early morning, from dawn to noon, from noon to evening, from evening to the second, third, fourth...... Lu Yifan walked around like this, stopping and taking the disciples of the Lou Sect in circles on this thousand-mile wasteland.
On Lou Zong's side, at noon on the fifth day after the incident, he found Lu Yifan's seventh "mark" fifty miles south of the closed city, and then he could no longer find any trace of Lu Yifan. This incident undoubtedly slapped Lou Zong in the face, and this slap was still beaten at the door of Lou Zong's own house, how could Lou Zong swallow this breath.
Lou Zong's sect master "Lou Yi" was even more angry because of this incident, first Wenyang City Xie Yang rebelled and played Lou Zong, which has made Lou Zong's face gone, and then three small soul masters who did not enter the stream repeatedly provoked Lou Zong, and even drove Lou Zong's territory into a no-man's land, which was simply an unprecedented shame for Lou Yi.
Therefore, Lou Yi made two decisions one after another, one is that Lou Lei, the second master of the special Lou Sect, led the three thousand disciples of the Lou Sect to find out Lu Yifan and the three people, even if they dig three feet into the ground and turn the entire southwest desert upside down, they must find out, according to Lou Yi's words, they want to see people alive and corpses when they die. In order to maintain the prestige of Lou Zong in the southwest area. The second is that Lou Yi personally led someone to Wenyang City, and he must ask Xie Yang to give an explanation.
Lou Yi led people to Wenyang City and didn't mention it for the time being, just said that Lou Lei led three thousand disciples to chase and kill Lu Yifan, Lou Lei understood the truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king, in order to prevent Lu Yifan from taking advantage of the loophole, so he decided to divide the three thousand disciples into three hundred teams of ten people, lined up with the city as the boundary, and swept all the way south to search, as long as Lu Yifan was found, there was no forgiveness.
And Lu Yifan's portrait also spread overnight throughout the large and small towns and villages in the southwest desert, and was widely posted everywhere by Lou Zong's disciples like a wanted murderer, and Lou Zong's flamboyance was even more blatant than that of the city lord who closed the city.
There is a saying that Lou Yi is very right, in the northwest wasteland, Lou Zong is the biggest king!
In this way, between chasing and escaping, time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was half a month, Lu Yifan was extremely embarrassed to hide in Tibet in half a month, and the food was even more hungry and full, occasionally if he was lucky, he could catch some game and barely fill his stomach, and if he was unlucky, it was not strange to be hungry for three or four days in a row.
And in this half a month, Lu Yifan basically didn't close his eyes, stopping and stopping all the way, and almost collided with the disciples of Lou Zong who came to chase him several times, although his physique was outstanding, but under the tension of being injured all the way and hiding in Tibet all day long, Lu Yifan's external injuries recovered very slowly, and the internal injuries not recovered, but also became more and more serious because of the poisoning for a longer and longer time, this month his eyes have always been blurry, and his consciousness has never really awakened, and the only reason that supports him to keep running away is only one reason, that is, the survival in the depths of his heart*γ
Ji Yuan and Han Ling'er have a lot of worries, why don't Lu Yifan have it? He is the hope of the Lu family, and it is also the life of Lu Haoqian and Liu Qingyuan, if he really has three longs and two shorts, the people involved will not be less than Han Ling'er.
Therefore, whether it is for himself or for his family, he Lu Yifan must hold on.
In the evening, Lu Yifan hid in a sand depression and shivered involuntarily, his body has been in a state of fever for half a month, and now he is even more sick, not only has the whole person lost a lot of weight, but even his face has become extremely pale and bloodless.
This kind of suffering, Lu Yifan also suffered for the first time in his life.
At this time, Lu Yifan's mouth and nose were dry and a little scary, he hadn't drunk water for three consecutive days, his eyes were curled up in the sand hollows, and his body shivered a few times from time to time to become the only sign that he was still alive at the moment.
"Rustling ......"
With a soft sound, I saw a white and yellow poisonous scorpion in the sand and soil suddenly drill out, and then after stagnation in place for a while, it quickly crawled towards Lu Yifan, this scorpion is the size of a quarter of an adult's palm, and it is a big man among its kind.
The scorpion crawled extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, it crawled next to Lu Yifan's head, Lu Yifan was curled up on his side and lying on the sand at the moment, so his eyes just happened to be able to see the big poisonous scorpion that was close at hand.
"Shhh
The poisonous scorpion lingered left and right in front of Lu Yifan's eyes for a few moments, and then it suddenly stopped in front of Lu Yifan, slowly raised his scorpion tail with a highly poisonous sharp hook and slowly pointed at Lu Yifan's nose, at this moment, the poisonous scorpion was only three or four inches away from Lu Yifan's face, as long as this poisonous scorpion suddenly attacked, it only needed to stab Lu Yifan in an instant.
And from beginning to end, Lu Yifan kept his eyes closed slightly, as if he was not aware of the uninvited guest in front of him.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, the poisonous scorpion moved, only to see its slender scorpion tail stabbed at the tip of Lu Yifan's nose, and at the same time Lu Yifan also moved, although he was seriously injured, but the speed of the shot was still amazing, I saw that his right hand, which was originally covered in his chest, suddenly poked forward, and then two fingers impartially clamped the scorpion's body before the scorpion tail stabbed his nose.
The scorpion that was suddenly attacked began to struggle violently, and its slender and flexible scorpion tail also began to shake rapidly in all directions, desperately stabbing everything around it, and Lu Yifan's method of clamping this poisonous scorpion was extremely exquisite, which could not only grasp it steadily, but also make it difficult for its scorpion tail to hurt itself in the slightest.
At this moment, Lu Yifan suddenly opened his eyes, and a bone-chilling cold light suddenly flashed in his weak eyes, and then the most amazing scene appeared.
He actually stuffed the violently struggling scorpion directly into his mouth, and then before the scorpion tail of the scorpion stabbed his tongue, Lu Yifan first bit off the scorpion, and suddenly a liquid mixed with black, yellow, red and transparent colors entered Lu Yifan's mouth, and the scorpion was also dying and struggling for a while, and the whole body was completely frozen there, and there was no movement at all.
"Click......"
Lu Yifan, who hadn't eaten water and rice for three days, was like tasting delicious, swallowing the dead scorpion whole, and finally swallowing it whole into his stomach after a burst of chewing, but the taste of this poisonous scorpion was really not very good, which made Lu Yifan's whole mouth numb for a while.
Compared with poisoning, Lu Yifan didn't want to be starved to death and thirsty to death. What's more, he was already heavily poisoned by the bloodthirsty red spider, so why should he be afraid of this poisonous scorpion anymore?
I have to say that the poisonous scorpion into the abdomen still brought a trace of energy to Lu Yifan after all, giving him the strength to move his body again. In this way, he curled up in the hollow of the sand, staring at the yellow sand on the ground in a daze.
In fact, the southwest desert is from north to south, the more the desert appears to be purer in the south, there are still some drought-resistant vegetation on the northern wasteland, and there is at least some loess on the ground. But when I got here, it had really become a desert, full of yellow sand, and there was no grass.
Perhaps it should not be called a desert now, but more appropriately a desert.
And the reason why Lu Yifan endured his serious injuries and fled south for more than a thousand miles to come here was because this was the only place he had thought about before and could escape Lou Zong's pursuit in this southwest desert.
It is also a feared forbidden place in this area, the core area of the 7,000-mile southwest desert where the legend is buried millions of years ago, the beast domain powerhouse "Qilin King" and his hundreds of thousands of beast domain army, known as the Nansha forbidden land of "entering but not leaving, nine deaths and one life".
"It's been so many days...... Finally got me here...... Ahem...... Finally...... I can finally get a good rest......"
With Lu Yifan's weak voice, a relaxed expression appeared in his eyes. At the same time, as the sun set, a layer of golden brilliance gently fell on Lu Yifan's body, as if a warm veil was draped in for him, gently comforting this child who had suffered all kinds of bitterness and exhaustion.
"The sunset in the desert is really beautiful...... This warm feeling is like a mother's embrace...... Mother...... Mother...... Fan'er misses you so much......"
With Lu Yifan's muttering, his eyes finally couldn't support the exhaustion of his body and mind and slowly closed, and the moment his eyelids fell, two strings of crystal tears gently slid across his cheeks and dripped on this piece of yellow sand......
"Mother...... Fan'er really misses you so much......"
Half-asleep and half-awake, Lu Yifan only felt that his spirit became more and more trance-like, and the poison in his body could no longer be suppressed, no matter how he stayed awake, he could never resist the chaos in his mind.
In this way, Lu Yifan curled up quietly in this barren and lonely desert, but his divine consciousness finally fell into endless darkness. However, in the midst of this darkness, an ethereal voice quietly came from a distance, faintly resounding in Lu Yifan's ears.
"Oh my God...... We're getting closer and closer to reuniting......"
......
