And here, it is still more than a hundred miles away from Death Valley, the destination of Ling Xiao's trip. （）

And this more than 100 miles of road will definitely not be as plain as the previous 50 miles.

It must be known that the fifty miles that Ling Xiao walked were not far from Black Rock City, and it was barely the territory of Black Rock City.

And once these fifty miles have passed, the bandits and robbers who peep in the dark, and even the beast kings and demon beasts who wander and forage for food, will come one after another.

If you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, coming here rashly is simply looking for death, asking for your own death!

"This guest came by coincidence, my water here has just been boiled, just scalding a pot of Guanyin tea to clear your lungs and quench your thirst, do you want to have a bowl?"

The tea shop, located on the side of the dirt road, was opened by two elderly people.

This tea shop is not very large, and it can be seen from its dilapidated signboard that these two old men have been operating here for many years, and at this moment, there are four or five tables in total, which have been filled by about twenty guests.

Seeing Ling Xiao coming alone, the guests sitting around the tea table, one of them was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sickly look on his face, squeezed to the side, squeezed out a vacant seat, and said to Ling Xiao: "This little brother, it should be the first time to go out...... This Chen Ji tea shop, here has been operating for more than ten years, the tea is very thirst-quenching, if you go out to travel, drink a bowl is very effective. （）”

Hearing the words of this forty-year-old man, Ling Xiaoliang smiled slightly, and walked towards the squeezed out position.

But between Ling Xiao's walking, those sharp eyes did not rest for half a minute, but shone brightly, observing faintly in secret.

It is important to know that walking in the wilderness, unless you are a very familiar partner, ordinary people, must not be gullible.

Perhaps, the good friend who was eating and drinking with you just now and talking to your brother picked up the butcher knife in his hand and stabbed you in the chest in the next second.

And these, Ling Xiao has more than 300 years of experience in his previous life, and he has some defenses.

While walking, Ling Xiao found through a short observation that there were more than 20 people in the group of guests resting and drinking tea in the tea shop.

Most of these 20 people, most of them are twenty-five or sixteen, men in their thirties, their faces are full of fierceness, and they all have weapons in axes and swords hanging from their waists, and their bodies are more or less scarred.

Obviously, this group of people are all people who are begging for a living on this black stone wasteland.

As for what they do for a living, Ling Xiao didn't see it for a while.

"Hahaha, this little brother is quite cautious!"

Seeing Ling Xiao's cautious look coming over, the middle-aged man in his forties couldn't help laughing and said, "Little brother, you can rest assured, we are not bad people. This time, we went into the Blackstone Wasteland to collect some medicinal herbs and sell them to the wealthy merchants in Blackstone City, or even to auctions, so as to make ends meet. ”

Hearing this, the look of vigilance on Ling Xiao's face decreased slightly, and he immediately asked, "It turns out that you are medicine pickers on the Black Stone Wasteland who make a living by collecting medicines. ”

"Looking at your dress, a picture of a long-standing appearance, it is possible that you have already been to the Black Rock Wasteland, and this is on the way back. ”

"Hehehe, that's right, this time dozens of people including me went deep into the Black Stone Wasteland together and excavated the high-grade spirit grass. ”

The forty-year-old man seemed to see Ling Xiao's young age, so he didn't hide much and said: "I waited for this time to enter the Black Stone Wasteland, although it was a little unsmooth, and I got more than ten brothers, but the harvest was quite rich. ”

"The harvest of this trip to return can at least allow me to live a stable life for three or five years. ”

When the forty-year-old man said this, his face showed a satisfied smile, and the other men also laughed out loud.

Listening to the laughter of the men, Ling Xiao was also infected, and couldn't help but smile.

But at this moment, a slight trembling sound of the ground suddenly came from the dry ground and entered Ling Xiao's ear drums. （）

Ling Xiao heard this voice, and his face changed suddenly.

"What's the matter, little brother, what's going on?" Seeing Ling Xiao's face change suddenly, the forty-year-old man immediately asked out loud.

"It seems that there is a large group of horses, galloping towards us, I don't know if it is friend or foe!" Ling Xiao replied with a heavy face in the face of the middle-aged man's inquiry.

"There's a big horse galloping in!?"

The middle-aged man heard Ling Xiao's words, first stunned, and then stopped the discussion of the middle men, listened attentively, and suddenly, he heard a sound like a cowhide drum being beaten by a sledgehammer, which made people's hairs all over his body can't help but stand up: "It's not good! I'm afraid it's the horse bandits raging on the Black Stone Wasteland, ten likely, they are coming for us." ”

"Horse bandits!?"

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the faces of all the men changed greatly, and they asked in disbelief: "How is it possible, this place is only fifty miles away from Black Rock City, and it is already the territory of Black Rock City, how dare they those horse bandits!?"

The men are really right. But they have actually entered a misunderstanding.

You must know that those horse bandits who were wreaking havoc on the Blackstone Wasteland, although they were afraid of Blackstone City, did not invade the fifty-mile radius of Blackstone City for many years. （）

But that didn't mean that those bandits didn't dare to come within fifty miles of Black Rock City.

Once they have enough benefits, they won't blink an eye even if they attack Blackstone City, let alone these.

"Don't panic, everyone, be calm!"

"Everyone knows in their hearts that the bandits who are wreaking havoc on this Black Rock Wasteland are not so afraid of Black Rock City...... They caught up this time, it must be our harvest, the news leaked, attracted their peeps, so they will definitely not let us go easily, therefore, we must let go of the fear in our hearts at this moment and fight to the death with them, only in this way can we have hope of survival!"

The middle-aged man in his forties calmed down and said, "I heard from the sound of this great earthquake, and the number of horse bandits who came this time was not very many, but only twenty horsemen. ”

"As long as we can show the courage to fight to the death, we will definitely be able to beat them back...... You know, our wives and children are still waiting for us, don't be cowards!"

As soon as the forty-year-old man said this, everyone present gradually calmed down.

His eyes were full of bloody light, and he clutched the weapon around him tightly in his hand, wanting to fight to the death with the horse bandits in the Black Stone Wasteland.

And at this moment, a few miles away in the wasteland, a puff of smoke that was completely condensed by yellow smoke and dust rose from somewhere.

Looking at the past from afar, it looks like a yellow dragon!

There is no doubt that this yellow dragon was formed by the floating soil brought up by the group of vicious horse bandits when they galloped on horseback.

That means that those damn horse bandits have already stormed over, and it won't take them a few minutes to get here!

The scorching sun is like fire, and the huge black stone wasteland exudes a scorched smell under the scorching sun.

Standing in front of the tea shop fifty miles away from Black Rock City, Ling Xiao looked at the yellow smoke and dust that rushed over like a dragon a few miles away, and a helpless bitter smile quietly appeared on his cold face.

Ling Xiao was going to Death Valley in the Blackstone Wasteland, and he had no intention of fighting the horse bandits raging in the Blackstone Wasteland.

But at this moment, because he stopped to drink tea, he was about to be involved in this disaster, which can be described as a little depressing.

"This little brother, I'm really sorry to implicate you this time. ”

The forty-year-old man, while looking at the approaching yellow smoke and dust, said to Ling Xiao: "Perhaps, little brother, you can escape quickly now while the horse bandits have not yet attacked." Little brother, although you are still young, but in my old iron eyes, you can still see that your cultivation is not weak, and you can escape four or five miles at this moment, and then find a hidden place and hide it, maybe you can avoid this disaster. ”

Hearing the words of the forty-year-old man, Ling Xiao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid that if I run away at this time, I will die faster!"

Although Ling Xiao had never dealt with the horse bandits in the Black Stone Wasteland, he knew that they were extremely vicious and domineering.

This time, since they have spotted the fat sheep of the middle-aged man in his forties, they will definitely not let any of them go.

Even Ling Xiao, the kid who just joined in, will not be an exception.

If Ling Xiao listened to the advice of the middle-aged man at this moment and ran away towards the outside of the tea shop, he would definitely be taken care of by those horse bandits as a focus.

No matter how fast the speed of a person is, it can't be as fast as the galloping of horses, I'm afraid that Ling Xiao can't escape for three or five miles, and he will be surrounded by bandits who come up.

"The little brother is young, but he is experienced. ”

Seeing that Ling Xiao was unmoved, the forty-year-old man spoke: "Since this is the case, then the little brother should be careful next, if we wait for the horse bandit to start fighting, please also fight side by side." ”

"If the little brother wants to stick a knife in the back, then even if my old iron is desperate, he will chop you into powder!"

Hearing the warning of the forty-year-old man, Ling Xiao's face flashed coldly, and he replied: "Don't worry, the horse bandits rush to kill, they will treat us as a group, with their ferocity, even if I say that I am not with you, they will be ruthlessly killed, in the face of such a situation, I know in my heart how to do it, how to choose!"

When Ling Xiao spoke, the yellow dust a few miles away was already approaching.

If you have sharper eyes, you can clearly see that two miles away, on the dry dirt road, there is a group of more than 20 fierce men, holding slightly messy weapons in their hands, urging their horses and whips, at a terrifying speed, towards this place, violently rushing towards this place.

This group of bandits on horseback, although they did not wear armor, and the weapons in their hands were also varied.

But its momentum, ferocity, is extraordinarily high. (Chivalry Chinese Network)
