Chapter 3: The Desolate Lands
Ye Qiu saw that the surroundings were very desolate, with dead trees, and vines climbing all over the rocky hills, and the sky was full of dark clouds when he looked up, but there was no trace of rain, Ye Qiu didn't know where to go for a while, he picked up the gossip sword that fell on the ground and put it away, the moment he entered the door was really thrilling, Ye Qiu thought about it now, and his heart trembled.
Ye Qiu walked casually for a while, but he didn't find anything different, but as he walked, he seemed to be able to see some figures in the distance, and so on, Ye Qiu happily ran in the direction where those people came, but the group of people didn't know why they seemed to be very panicked, Ye Qiu ran and ran, and slowly stopped, because he found that the group of people seemed to be followed by a group of monsters that could not be seen clearly.
"Run. The voice was very noisy, Ye Qiu took a closer look, oh my God! Behind that group of people was a group of beasts with slender heads that seemed to be like wolves chasing them, and what surprised Ye Qiu even more was that this group of strange beasts was not a small number, and the group of black pressed ones was too many to count.
The group of people had already seen Ye Qiu, and shouted as they ran: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you run quickly~"
encountered such a dangerous thing, Ye Qiu didn't have time to say hello, report his name or something, and hurriedly ran with this group of people, the group of beasts followed closely behind, getting closer and closer, and occasionally let out a terrifying roar.
This group of people had all kinds of weapons in their hands, broadswords, long swords, and darts, all of which kept throwing at the group of beasts behind them, and every time the group of beasts was about to rush up, this group of people tried desperately to save the day, but their lives were in danger.
Ye Qiu was also afraid of death, but he only had a gossip sword, this was his only weapon for self-defense, if he lost it, it would be a pity, and he must not be easily discarded until the critical moment of last resort.
A group of people saw that they couldn't hold on and were caught up, but there was a meandering stream in front of them, this group of people seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and they all sped up their strength to pounce into the stream, and swam quickly towards the opposite bank, Ye Qiu had been swimming in the small river near his house since he was a child, and naturally he also had a little ability to float, and he quickly swam to the other bank, Ye Qiu was too tired, when he climbed up from the stream, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, panting heavily, he used all his remaining strength to look back, only to see that the group of terrible beasts had been isolated on the other side of the river, and did not swim overγ
Ye Qiu sighed and said, "It's okay, these strange beasts can't swim, otherwise it's really bad." β
Now by the stream, a group of people are lying on the ground scattered, no longer have the strength to continue running, listening to their complaints and words, Ye Qiu understands in his heart that they must be the same as himself, they are here to apply for the selection of Yunwuling disciples, of course, these people must have withstood the test of the six gates, otherwise they would not have come here.
"Let's take a break, let's continue up the mountain. Not far from Ye Qiu, a woman dressed as a woman said so proudly.
There are no strict rules on gender among the disciples recruited by Yunwuling, but there are not many women in this group, and this woman speaks very arrogantly, and it seems that there are some means.
"What's your name. The woman was asked.
The woman laughed loudly and said proudly, "I want to ask you what your name is, I just ran all the way, and I don't know where you came from." β
After the woman finished speaking, she reported to her family and said, "This girl is famous, you can call me Xia Ling." β
When Ye Qiu heard this, he only wondered in his heart, since he said his origin, he only said his name, but he didn't say where he came from?
At this time, a group of people started to talk about their life experience one by one, messy, all over the world, all three religions and nine streams were listed, counting this group of people, there were hundreds of people.
Ye Qiu also honestly reported his origin, but it seemed that after saying it, everyone agreed in a chaotic manner, and no one took him seriously, and he was still in a panic state just now, but now everyone is all chattering with each other like relatives.
Ye Qiu looked up at the sky in the distance, and seemed to see that there were many black dots slowly spreading out, Ye Qiu didn't feel anything, but those black dots seemed to be getting bigger and bigger from far to near, and they seemed to be coming towards them. Ye Qiu frowned, stood up, and rubbed his sleepy eyes, trying to see what it was. Xia Ling, who was standing in the distance, shouted cleverly: "Strange birds are flying in the sky again, everyone be careful." β
Many of these people had already noticed the strangeness of the sky, and the strange birds in the sky were flying so fast that when everyone could see clearly, the strange birds were already pecking at them.
For a while, there was another sound of shouting and assassination, the feathers of the strange birds were fluttering in the air, and some of the people in the crowd were pecked by the strange birds, shouting.
The scene of the fight was very bloody, fortunately it was not the group of beasts that had retreated on the other side, the combat effectiveness of this group of strange birds was not strong, everyone tried their best to die, and finally beat this group of strange birds to pieces, and the remaining few strange birds saw that they could not take advantage, and they obediently knew the difficulty and retreated.
In the direction where the strange bird flew, there was suddenly a winding upward mountain road, there was no rock support under the mountain road, just hovering in the air, there was an emptiness under the mountain road, which was obviously very different from the surrounding environment, Xia Ling was very smart, he pointed to the mountain road and said: "Let's go, it seems that this mountain road must be the road to the Cloud Ridge." β
When everyone saw Xia Ling say this, they all felt that it made sense, anyway, there was no road here, they had been wandering in this wasteland for several days, and now that such a road appeared, they could only go up and give it a try.
Ye Qiu followed behind everyone and walked towards the mountain road, Xia Ling has been walking in the front, looking very leader, which makes the women in this group of people very envious and admired, and some men actually have a good impression of Xia Ling, thinking that if there is a chance in the future, they must have more contact with Xia Ling.
Ye Qiu didn't have so many thoughts in his heart, this way, the most important thing was to save his life, now he can walk alive, it is already a great luck, now the most important thing is to leave this boundless wilderness first, what is the road ahead of, who can know, since everyone says so, then go up, anyway, there are so many people who accompany each other, what difficulties are encountered and now there is a person to discuss, it is already a good thing.
