Chapter 857, Red Knife Desert
'Red Knife Town' is the last town to enter the Red Knife Desert from the southwest, and the 'Wild Knife Town' to the east, the 'Broken Knife Town' to the west, and the 'Liangdao Town' to the north, collectively known as the Four Towns of the Red Knife. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The people in this town are probably lazy and used to it, and the level of naming is extremely inferior, because it is close to the Red Knife Desert, so naturally, the name of Red Knife Town can be regarded as complementary.
And the other three, the level of naming is not much different from the people in Red Knife Town, in fact, the original inhabitants of the town themselves have nothing to do with Red Knife or something.
Half a year ago, Red Knife Town was actually a fairly prosperous medium-sized market town, but since the emergence of a 'Red Knife Sect' in the Red Knife Desert, the people in Red Knife Town have either been killed or fled.
Now, there are very few surviving people in the town, and the vast market town is full of withering and dead scenes.
The broken wine flag, the inn that is half submerged by the yellow sand, and the ruined and dilapidated houses...... It was a desolate scene, and occasionally a gust of wind blew, and my brother saw that the yellow sand was flying all over the sky, and no one cleaned it up.
However, on this day, two young men in white who were not local houses at first glance suddenly came.
Looking at their dusty appearance, it is obvious that they have traveled a long way, but their clothes are still as bright as new, white as snow, and this vast desert, rolling yellow sand, does not match at all, and is incompatible.
At first glance, it looks more like a son of a family who came from Jiangzuo Water Township and invited him to visit the desert.
Before the two arrived in the town, they seemed to be looking for a restaurant to rest, but they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the dilapidated and withered scene in the town.
The young man in white on the left said, "Hey, it seems that we are a step too late, and the people in this Red Knife Town have almost escaped." It was our fault that we didn't destroy the Red Sword Sect sooner. ”
The young man in white on the right said, "Brother Yi, you don't have to blame yourself, it has nothing to do with us coming sooner or later." All over the continent, there are evil demons everywhere, and we have limited manpower, so we can only eliminate them one by one, and we must deal with the closer places first. And ......"
Speaking of this, the young man in white on the right paused for a moment, and then said: "Although it is cruel, one thing is true, that is, the southeast and southwest are prosperous and prosperous, with a population of hundreds of millions. However, in the northwest, there is yellow sand everywhere, and there are few people, so if you want to talk about the harm, it must be the southeast and southwest where the harm is the greatest, and priority is given to it. ”
However, when it came to this, he couldn't help but sigh, and sighed: "But no one is noble or cheap, although we can rationally divide the danger into priority, but we can't say that the population of one million in the southeast is more expensive than the thousand people in the northwest, so everything is still done by the Red Knife Cult, and we are not here today to destroy it and avenge the inhabitants of this place?"
"That's all there is to it. ”
The young man in white on the left nodded, and the two did not hesitate any longer, stepping into Red Knife Town side by side.
The oncoming sand was blowing, and in the wind in the distance, there seemed to be a dry smell of blood, which was weird, but the two of them seemed to have long been used to it, and they didn't care.
No matter how violent the sand storm was, it couldn't get close to them, so miraculously, the wind and sand swept in the town, and when it came to the two of them, it was calm and clean.
It's no wonder that along the way, except for a little dust on their faces, they can still keep their white clothes like snow on their clothes.
If it weren't for this god-like method, ordinary people would be afraid that even if they would learn from them, they would want to be clean, but if they put on a snow-white shirt, they were afraid that after a while, they would become dirty and black, no different from people who have worn a piece of clothing for several years.
This is also the reason why everyone in the northwest is black-faced and old, not because they are born like this, but because there is a shortage of water and food here, and there is no wind and sand for many years, so there is no condition to keep the body and clothes clean.
At first, everyone may not be used to it, but over time, they can only adapt to the environment here, which is also a helpless thing.
But the two of them were obviously not ordinary people, and after entering the town, they walked all the way north, and along the way, they saw the residents who were flooded by the yellow sand, or simply collapsed and abandoned because no one took care of them, and their brows could not help but furrow slightly.
"The harm of cults is like this. A hundred years of people's livelihood, invincible in an instant. ”
The young man in white on the right said with emotion, and with a flick of his left hand, a wooden board that was blown from nowhere was suddenly blown into the distance by him with an invisible force, and with a "snap", it smashed into an earthen wall behind it.
The earthen wall shook twice, and it was estimated that the foundation was unstable, and with a direct "bang", it fell down in half and turned into another barren hill.
The young man in white frowned, and in the end, he could only be speechless.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, the young man in white on the left, his eyes lit up, and he looked ahead, his eyes lit up slightly: "There is still an inn here, it seems to be still open?"
"Huh?"
The white-clothed young man on the right heard the sound, and sure enough, not far in front of them, a two-story earthen house with a diagonal curtain appeared in front of them, the curtain was picked up with a wooden cane, tied very firmly, even if the wind and sand were so big, it was still tenaciously constantly moving, showing its existence to outsiders.
The gray-blue curtain is covered with four large black characters written crookedly and in different shades: "Border Desert Inn!"
If it weren't for the fact that these four words were still simple, I was afraid that with that crooked appearance, a little more complicated, others would not recognize it.
"Let's go, go in and take a rest, take a sip of old wine and then go, there are still more than three days away from the Red Knife Sect's old 'Red Knife Blood Cave'...... Out of this Red Knife Town, there is only reckless yellow sand left, and I really can't see anything!"
"Good. ”
Two young men in white curiously pushed open the half-hidden wooden door and walked into the inn.
However, after entering the inn, the two couldn't help but be stunned.
In the inn, the wind stopped and the sand stopped, and even though it looked very simple, it was very clean.
There were only four or five wooden tables in the hall, all of them made of a few wooden planks haphazardly, but they were all polished and bright, and the only peculiar thing was that behind the counter, there was no bartender, and in the hall, there were no guests.
However, on the wooden table in the middle, there was a jar of old wine and two porcelain bowls.
There is a faint aroma, from the half-torn seal of the old wine, constantly overflowing, rushing into people's noses, seducing people's desires.
The eyes of the two young men in white suddenly became extremely solemn.
They all felt it, an unusual aura.
It stands to reason that with their skills, even if there are seventy or eighty sword and axe men in ambush in this inn, they will not want to hurt them in the slightest, let alone feel the slightest worry about it.
However, at this moment, in the town swept by the wind and sand, the inn that had just been cleaned up for a short time was not long in the inn, but no one in the inn could be seen, but on the table, it seemed that they knew the arrival of the two in advance, and someone had already served wine in advance and set up the dishes and chopsticks......
What about the people who cleaned up the inn? Who furnished the wine bowls? Where did the original owner of the inn go?
The two of them looked moved, each on guard, and neither of them walked towards the table in the middle, but wanted to go to the second floor to investigate the secrets of this inn.
But at this moment, suddenly, outside the house......
"Woohoo!"
A peculiar scream was heard, and it seemed to be not far away.
The young man in white on the left moved, and the whole person suddenly walked out of the door, and almost at the moment when the scream came out, it turned into a wisp of smoke, floated out of the house, and rushed straight to the place where the scream came from.
The young man in white on the right did not move, still stopped in place, but his footsteps couldn't help but stop, standing in place, quietly listening to the movement outside the house.
However, after the young man in white on the left went out, with his cultivation, no matter what happened outside, he should solve it immediately and return to the inn;
However, nothing.
After the young man in white on the left swept out, except for the sound of a figure moving at the beginning, the whole world seemed to fall silent suddenly, and no sound could be heard.
His people seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and there was no trace of them, not even the slightest sound of fighting, but they could not be heard.
The face of the young man in white on the right couldn't help but fall silent.
In his eyes, a strange edge flashed, and as soon as his left hand moved, a long sword with blue light flashed in his hand. Then, with a long sword in hand, he slowly pushed the door open and walked out.
