Chapter 434: The Difficulty of the West Exit

There is no need to worry about the supply of food and other supplies for the time being, everyone has already carried enough food when they are fleeing for their lives, but most of the people in the team are ordinary people, and after traveling for too long, many people are tired, and there is an epidemic in the back.

In addition to these, there were also chasers from the Nanban and the Demon Cult from time to time along the way, harassing the team. But after Zichen and Chen Fei were broken, the entire team suffered very little loss in this regard.

All the way through the wilderness, the entire team was seriously reduced from more than 200 people to less than 100 people. Zichen also has no way to do this, this section of the road to the West Exit, even Fa Xiu and strong martial artists will have a very difficult time, let alone ordinary people.

During this period, Zichen led the team to the temporary camp established by Wu Haoran and others to replenish. The people in the camp were grateful for Zichen's kindness and naturally warmly welcomed it, but because the camp itself was not rich, the team could only replenish a large amount of drinking water, but fortunately, the food of the team itself was not so lacking due to serious attrition.

To Zichen's surprise, Wu Haoran really left with the clouds and didn't know where to go.

After Zichen remembered that night's conversation, Wu Haoran rekindled his confidence in the Dharma Dao, and once said that he would continue to work hard to pursue the Dharma Dao. Zichen didn't take this seriously, after all, Wu Haoran was damaged by a key position like the "Dan Heart", and there was almost no hope above the Dharma Dao. Now it seems that Wu Haoran is not joking.

When Zichen left with the team, there were surprisingly not many people in the temporary camp who followed Zichen, even when they knew that the war had broken out and had the opportunity to enter Qiannan. Zichen was puzzled by this, but an old man in the camp gave an explanation.

"Shaoxia, since the ancestor was exiled to the Great Wilderness, my descendants have never stopped working hard to get out of the Great Wilderness. But it is not easy to get out of the wilderness, the natural dangers are already difficult, and the artificial obstruction is even more my voice. What's more, even if we get out of the great wilderness, in the eyes of others, we are still sinful people, and we are indispensable to the white eyes and prejudices of others. Although this great wilderness is wild and sinister, after so many years, generation after generation, this is now our home, and we do not have to leave our own home to be discriminated against and prejudiced by others......"

The old man's words made Zichen quite emotional.

Historically, the Great Wilderness has always been one of the places where sinners were exiled from the Great Desert, and many of the people in the Great Wilderness today are the descendants of the sinners of the past, so the entire Great Drought has more or less discrimination and contempt for the people of the Great Wilderness.

But even so, most people in the Great Wilderness are extremely eager to get out of the Great Wilderness, and they do not hesitate to pay a great price for this. And like this old man, there are very few people who have such incisive insights and open-minded attitudes.

"The young man is kind to us, before leaving, the old man wants to warn the young man. If it's just a young man getting out of the wilderness, it's not difficult, but if a young man wants to take so many people out of the wilderness, it's not easy, even in wartime. It's still a long way to go to the West Exit, so please be careful all the way!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Zichen thanked the old man, but didn't take the old man's words to heart. In the case, the people of the Great Wilderness are also the people of the Great Cadre, and now that there is a war breaking out, he does not think that the Great Cadre will inhumanely turn away some refugees who have fled for their lives, and watch the refugees fend for themselves.

Bidding farewell to the old man and the people in the temporary camp, Zichen led the team on.

After another half a month, although the team is still reduced, it has been much slighter. But what made Zichen and the others frown was that the speed of the whole team was still not fast, and in addition to the harsh surrounding environment, it was the limit to move about thirty miles a day.

And the closer you get to the west entrance, the more steep the terrain becomes, there are a lot of poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, thorns everywhere, etc., not to mention, there is a section of the road that has become a sheep intestine trail opened up on the mountainside, only allowing one person and one horse to go together, and it is a winding mountain road.

Such an environment and road are simply too difficult for ordinary people, and for the old, weak, sick and disabled, they need someone to support or carry them in order to continue to move forward. It's no wonder that some people write poems and say: "The difficulty of the West Exit is difficult to climb to the sky!"

At this moment, the speed of the entire team continued to decrease, and they could only move less than ten miles a day. The only good thing is that after all the way out, the rest of the people in the team are healthy people, and there is no outbreak of epidemics.

After another half a month, under the leadership of a horse team that joined along the way and went to the West Exit, the whole team finally walked out of the extremely difficult and poisonous weeds winding mountain path and entered the "West Mouth Plain".

The so-called "Xikou Plain" is actually just a flat land sandwiched between two mountain ranges, but after a long period of torture by poor mountains and bad waters, the plain landscape that appears in front of you is as wonderful as a fairyland. In addition, after coming to the "West Exit Plain", the West Exit is not far away. As a result, the morale of the team was greatly boosted, and many people cheered for it.

This morale surge did not last long, and after more than half a month of marching on the Xikou Plain, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted again, and the pursuers of the Southern Barbarians gradually appeared behind them. This made Zichen frown, realizing that the Demon Sect and the Nanban were only afraid that they had already occupied all the towns in the Great Wilderness, and now they had crossed the natural obstacles, and the target was directly towards the west entrance.

In the current situation, once the faster army of the Demon Sect and the Southern Barbarians decided to attack the West Exit, the team of himself and the others would be caught in it, and if they could not reach the West Exit before the outbreak of the war, they would be directly crushed by the Demon Sect and the Southern Barbarian army.

But the problem is that the speed of this team with a large number of ordinary people is a big problem, and after experiencing the torment of poor mountains and bad waters, it is extremely tired, and even if you want to mention speed, you are powerless......

"Shaoxia, there is a Nanban striker chasing after him from behind!"

While Zichen was leading the team forward and pondering, Chen Fei, a bearded man, hurriedly ran from behind to report to Zichen.

In order to grasp the situation of the Demon Sect and the Southern Barbarian pursuers, Zichen sent Chen Fei and several of Chen Fei's companions to the back to investigate, temporarily acting as a scout. At this time, Chen Fei was panting, the Daguan knife in his hand was dripping with blood, and there were also many traces of blood and sweat on his body and face, obviously there had been an encounter during the investigation.

Zichen nodded and said, "It's hard work, leave it to me next." Your physical strength is not small, just protect the others and continue to lead the team forward. ”

Chen Fei knew Zichen's strength, ordinary Nanban and Demon Dao demons did not pose any threat to Zichen at all, and he and his companions did consume a lot, and it was the time to rest. So Chen Fei replied respectfully: "I know!

Respectfully, Chen Fei led a few companions back to the team. (To be continued.) )
