Chapter 257: Sand Pirates
Hearing this, Xiahou Dechuan said: "You may have little contact with the outside world and don't know much, I can tell you." ”
Since there were monks in the Apocalypse Continent, people began to create sects, and the Taihe Sword Sect was one of the first nine major sects to establish sects.
In addition to the Taihe Sword Sect, there is another sect similar to them, which is also a sect that specializes in one kind, and that is the sect that Zhou Yi has heard countless times about, and the sect that focuses on alchemy-Danmeng!
Except for the Danmeng and the Taihe Sword Sect, the other sects almost don't exist now, but their inheritance has not dissipated.
"Why did they dissipate?"
"Because of selfishness. Xiahou Dechuan looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Some people in the sect climbed in, and finally set up the sect, which led to the demise of the sect. The first to perish was the last illustrious dynasty, and now the Zongzheng family. In addition, there are also the Meng family, the Chen family, and the Dragon family of the current True Dragon Dynasty. ”
"What else?"
"There are also some sects that have been annexed, such as the extremely prominent Medicine Valley back then, which was annexed by the Dan League. Xiahou Dechuan said: "These forces and families, basically if you don't provoke them, they won't come to find you trouble, but then these two forces, brother, you have to remember that these two forces, once provoked, it will be a catastrophe!"
Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this, and asked more.
"Listen to Xue Lou, the most mysterious assassin organization in the Apocalypse Continent, legend has it that not only in the Nether Realm, but also in the Yunling Continent and other upper realms, there are their forces. ”
"Listen to Xuelou?!"
Zhou Yi is no stranger to this name, back then, when he was blocked by the Zhou family's guards, he was chased and killed by the killers of Tingxue Tower, and back then, he killed those killers of Tingxue Lou with him, as well as the fake Nie Fengyun.
"Have you crossed paths with them?" Seeing Zhou Yi slightly surprised, Xiahou Dechuan asked.
"Hunted down by their men. ”
Zhou Yi was reluctant to mention the past, especially the past when he was mutilated by Zhou Litian.
Xiahou Dechuan sighed when he heard this, and did not continue to ask, and said randomly: "There is another force that is all over the Apocalypse Continent, and besides, we will soon pass through the territory under their jurisdiction, and that is the Sand Pirates!"
"Sand pirates, bandits in the desert?"
"Yes, that's understandable. However, they are no ordinary bandits. Xiahou Dechuan said: "According to legend, they are the descendants of Kuizong, and the reason why Kuizong is called Kuizong is because they know the art of puppets, and because the puppets are not good, they changed their name to this Kui." ”
Xiahou Dechuan said, lest Zhou Yi not understand, specially wrote a big Kui character on the ground, and then said: "This sect acts, just like their exercises back then, it is very weird! Usually they check and even plunder the pedestrians who come and go in the desert, and this year is just in time for the Taihe Sword Sect to recruit disciples from the outer sect in the vast desert Qingfeng Oasis, presumably, the sand thieves will definitely make a big windfall from this!"
"Don't you care about the Taihe Sword Sect?"
"How to manage?" Xiahou Dechuan said: "Although the sand thieves are not the Kuizong of the past, no one knows the real strength, it is said that even if the Taihe Sword Sect makes a full effort, it may not be able to kill all the sand thieves." Moreover, the sand thieves have existed for many years, and they can evolve into sand monster puppets, which is simply inexhaustible!"
"So powerful?"
"But it's not!" Xiahou Dechuan said: "I have been here three times, and all three times I have been paid for different reasons. Of course, in fact, it is reasonable for them to ask you for money on the street, after all, the sand thieves are in this vast desert, and they can't hide if they want to!"
Seeing Zhou Yi's stunned appearance, Xiahou Dechuan said: "So, after seeing the sand thieves, we still have to be careful, hide if we can, and don't make any extraneous branches, so as not to cause death!"
Zhou Yi nodded when he heard this, and said, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, this is my principle." ”
"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I can see that my brother is a man of temperament, I appreciate your character, brother, but Xiao Yizi, there is one thing you must remember!" Xiahou Dechuan said: "We are weak now, and it is not the time to be strong, some things, although you may not be used to it, but the purpose of our trip is to join the Taihe Sword Sect, and other things, it is best to hide and avoid extraneous branches." ”
"Don't worry, big brother, I know what I know. ”
Hearing that Xiahou Dechuan also called himself Xiao Yizi, Zhou Yi felt a little close. And what Xiahou Dechuan said was also reasonable, after all, they were on this trip to join the Taihe Sword Sect, and Zhou Yi also thought that after entering, he would find the Nine Shadows Forbidden Fire, which was the most fundamental purpose of his trip.
For the next five days, Zhou Yi and Xiahou Dechuan traveled 700 miles a day, but they also came to the edge of the desert on the sixth day.
The eyes were full of golden gravel, and the sun shone on the desert, and the void was a little distorted, as if there was a fire burning in the desert. The scorching heat forced the two of them to fight to enter. But the two horses could not move forward under any circumstances, and they were dismissed on the spot.
"This kind of place, that is, only monks can come in, and ordinary people come in, if there is less water source, it will last for three or five days at most. ”
The two of them were not too embarrassed by their cultivation, especially before they came in, they had filled two storage bags with water, and roughly calculated, the water they brought with them was enough for them to drink for three years, even if they took a bath a day, they could last for more than half a year.
"That Qingfeng Oasis is the entrance that the Taihe Sword Sect has been open before, and since ancient times, it has been opened from there, this is a rule. ”
Xiahou Dechuan said that it is precisely because it has existed since ancient times that the sand thieves did not dare to attack the Qingfeng Oasis, and at most they did some robberies around the Qingfeng Oasis to collect some tolls.
Therefore, the emergence of sand thieves is also a double-edged sword. First, the appearance of sand pirates must charge various fees, and second, the appearance of sand pirates also means that they are getting closer and closer to the Qingfeng Oasis.
"In recent years, the location of the Breeze Oasis has not changed, for two consecutive editions, which has never happened before. Xiahou Dechuan said: "The Taihe Sword Sect also knows that a large number of monks will be exploited by sand thieves when they come here again, so the location of the Qingfeng Oasis will continue to change before. In order to save some money for some of the monks. Of course, this is also the only thing that the Taihe Sword Sect can do. ”
"I guess that in this year's selection, Qingfeng Oasis is likely to change positions, but, for the sake of safety, let's go to the place of the previous one to have a look......" Speaking of this, Xiahou Dechuan suddenly pulled Zhou Yi to hide behind a sand dune, pointed to a sand dune in front of him, and said: "Look, that's a sand thief!" (To be continued.) )
