Chapter 12: Desert Friends
"This damn weather!" Qin Ling and the three of them sat around the fire, due to the huge difference in the temperature between day and night in the desert, the three of them looked for a place to settle down early. However, the biting cold wind was biting, and Faye Wong kept complaining.
Suddenly, a woman's song came from the depths of the silent desert, and the singing was like a heavenly sound, which couldn't help but make people intoxicated. The two girls immediately put down the food in their hands and listened carefully. Even Qin Ling, who was not moving in rhythm, couldn't help but indulge in this song.
"This song ......" the three of them looked around, although the sky was now clear, and they could see it far away in the moonlight. However, at a glance, except for the vast yellow sand, it is still yellow sand, and there is not even a single figure at all.
"Could it be, could it be that this song is from the sky?" Faye Wong looked up at the sky.
Qin Ling took a bite of a piece of roast beef and nodded approvingly. Indeed, this song should only be in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times. However, he didn't know if the song came from the sky, but the desert night really didn't matter.
Ahh......h
In the early hours of the morning, before the sun rose, the sky was still gray. The tranquil desert was broken by a wolf's roar, and the sleeping three people opened their eyes violently, and the alertness of the three suddenly increased, and the fire was quickly extinguished. Because based on the sound of the wolf's cry, it can be judged that the wolf is very close to them.
"The fire has just been extinguished, they just left! Chase after it!" was led by Zhang Xiong, who was ordered by the regiment commander Lin Xiongying to investigate the desert in the area ruled by the poisonous scorpion mercenary group, and search for strangers entering the desert during these days.
Just a few days ago, several desert demon wolves under his hands finally smelled the smell. Zhang Xiong led the ten brothers to catch up quickly, but after all, he was still a step slower, so that people noticed it first.
"Brother Big Bear, I've been chasing after me for so many days, and my brothers haven't had a good rest. Otherwise, let's go back!" The continuous running made these bandit old fritters begin to complain, stuffy for so many days, chasing in the desert all day long, but still not even a single figure is seen, then it is better to hug a woman in the village and drink!
"Brothers, if you insist, persist, persevere! The regimental commander's orders must be obeyed! Everyone knows very well who the regimental commander is, and if the regimental commander knows, it is we who will suffer. Zhang Xiong's words woke them up all at once.
The horror of the regiment commander, they know better than anyone else, they have been punished by the regiment commander before, and they suddenly break out in a cold sweat. That terrifying feeling seemed to happen just yesterday, it was not something that people could afford, and a few people suddenly cheered up and quickly caught up with Zhang Xiong, hoping that the express would catch those strangers and go back to the business soon.
"Xiao Ling, it seems that you have got rid of them. Wang Yunhan looked back at the back, and there was no trace of the mercenaries of the scorpion mercenary group.
Galloping all the way, before you know it, it is already noon. Under the scorching sun, the situation of the three of them was better, but the horses under the crotch were almost dying.
"Yes! If the wolf howl hadn't been heard first, I'm afraid it would have been a different scene now. Qin Ling jumped off his horse and confirmed that there were no pursuers in the rear for the time being, and he had to let the horses rest quickly and recover some strength.
"Sister, look!" Suddenly, Faye Wong jumped up excitedly, grabbed Wang Yunhan and pointed to the front of the desert: "There is an oasis in front and a village." ”
Qin Ling immediately stood up, originally thinking in his heart that it would be Faye Wong dancing to see a mirage. Because of this path out of the desert, Qin Ling had checked it many times on the map, and the place where there was an oasis had basically been divided into seven or eight by the mercenary group. There are not many oases left, but the oases that appear in front of you are not a mirage, but a real desert oasis.
"Wait a minute, this oasis is a little strange!" Qin Ling hurriedly grabbed Faye Wong, who was overly excited, and asked her to calm down: "I have checked the map many times, and this oasis in front of me should not appear here." Let me observe it again......"
"Little Lingzi ......" Faye Wong rolled up the corners of her clothes and was about to attack.
Wang Yunhan hurriedly covered the mouths of the two, because at this time, the oasis made a movement.
Sigh!
To Qin Ling's left, eleven horses stopped on the sand dunes, they were mercenaries of the Scorpion Mercenary Regiment! I didn't expect them to catch up so quickly.
"Brother Xiong, look! there's an oasis. "The presence of an oasis in the desert is good news for people anyway, even if it can be a mirage. However, this oasis is real, but it is very strange, there is a village in the oasis, but there is no one in sight.
"Wait a ......minute" Although Zhang Xiong also felt suspicious, he was about to open his mouth to stop him, and before he could finish speaking, he couldn't wait to rush to the oasis.
Zhang Xiong followed closely on horseback, although he was a little uneasy, but he believed that with his cultivation in the adversity period, as long as he was not the leader of other mercenary groups, other opponents were not worth mentioning. And he believed that under this desert, no one dared to provoke the scorpion mercenary group.
Suddenly, several screams came from inside the village, and only five of the ten mercenary group mercenaries who had already rushed into the village stumbled out of the village.
There is no need to think about it, those five mercenaries are afraid that they have already died at this time. Zhang Xiong drew his broadsword, jumped off his horse and stepped forward to pick up his injured brother.
"Huzi, what's going on?" Zhang Xiong asked eagerly, holding on to one of them.
"Brother Xiong! monster ...... Monster ......" The mercenary grabbed Zhang Xiong in horror.
Bang!
The oases and villages disappeared completely, and a huge hole appeared in its place, and gray gas kept coming out of the place. Suddenly, a huge monster rushed out from the bottom of the cave, and a bloody short leg remained at the corner of its mouth......
"What? Magic Worm!" Zhang Xiong couldn't help but take a few steps back, this Magic Worm can reach more than five levels of adversity in adulthood, but the most important thing is that it is proficient in illusion and soul attack.
"Let's go......" Zhang Xiong knows the horror of the magic worm, he has encountered it a few times, but the head of the regiment was present these times, so he saved the day.
However, this time is different, the mercenary group has lost five brothers, and there are still five who are unable to fight, and their highest cultivation is themselves, and they are five levels lower than the magic worm.
In this situation of no victory, fighting the magic worm would only be a death, and Zhang Xiong decisively ordered a retreat.
"Two sisters, let's go quickly, that monster realm is too high, and we will be finished when it finds out......" For a moment, without seeing the two respond, Qin Ling turned his head to look at the two of them, and found that both of them were looking behind in horror: "What's wrong with you? ”
Faye Wong raised her hand tremblingly and pointed her fingers forward. Following the direction pointed by Faye Wong's dance, Qin Ling looked back, and his face froze suddenly.
Behind them, at some point, a magical worm emerged from the ground and stared at the three of them. The sudden appearance of the magic worm made Qin Ling and them overwhelmed all of a sudden.
"This, how can there be a ...... here" The magic worm reached the fifth stage of adversity, and the three of Qin Ling were too different from its realm, and it was difficult to fight at all.
Suddenly, the whole desert shook violently! The wind gradually became fierce, and the sand fluttered as if it had lost its gravitational pull. At this time, whether it was the humans present or the magic worms, they were all frozen. A huge tornado appeared in the middle of the desert, rising from the ground into the sky.
The yellow sand in the sky was like a yellow tsunami surging from afar, and two magic worms burrowed into the bottom of the sand at once, and escaped!
"Could this be the legendary Yellow Dragon Demon Scroll? Isn't that something that can only happen once in a thousand years? How can Lao Tzu's luck be so good!" Zhang Xiong had stayed in the desert the longest among the others, and even he had never seen such a terrifying tornado.
A few people stepped onto their horses and galloped desperately! However, this Yellow Dragon Demon Scroll was moving extremely fast, at least more than 1,000 kilometers per hour. And the speed of the horses was not comparable to it at all, and the wind speed of the Yellow Dragon Demon Scroll alone was enough to destroy them easily......
"Huh, why did we fly?" Faye Wong exclaimed.
In an instant, a group of them entered the wind speed attraction range of the Yellow Dragon Demon Scroll, and the strong wind speed brought them into the sky one by one.
"What should we do? Are the three of us going to die here?" Qin Ling kept asking himself in his heart, what is the way? What else is the way? No, the realm of the true self!
"Purple Spirit...... Come out quickly!" Qin Ling took out the wrench hanging around his neck with one hand, and called out to Zi Ling loudly.
"What's the matter with the master, they're sleeping!" A small purple light from the finger came out, and Zi Ling appeared in front of Qin Ling slowly in pajamas.
"Zi Ling, with my current realm, how many people can I send at most into the realm of my true self?" The wind speed was getting faster and faster, Qin Ling couldn't open his mouth at all, he could only communicate with Zi Ling's heart.
"Master, you can only enter the realm of the true self alone!" Zi Ling knew that Qin Ling wanted to bring the sisters of the Wang family into the realm of the true self, but Qin Ling's own strength was too weak, and it was impossible to bring outsiders into the realm of the true self at all.
"Purple Spirit...... If I don't go in, let the two of them in?" The rope was already reaching its limit, and the weight of the three of them and the rapid rotation in the Yellow Dragon Demon Scroll overwhelmed the rope.
"This ...... This method does exist, but ...... However, if you do this, the master will not be able to use the realm of the true self for a short time!" "Zi Ling looked very difficult, this is not a perfect strategy after all, and using the realm of the true self in this way will make the master and servant consume too much. The Purple Spirit must fall into a deep sleep to close the realm of the true self, while Qin Ling may be counterattacked by the realm of the true self and never raise to a certain realm, nor be able to summon the realm of the true self.
"There's no way, now I can only use this trick. "The purple spirit transmitted through the soul and transmitted this blood sacrifice ** into Qin Ling's brain. Qin Ling stabilized his emotions and bit his finger open, and a large amount of blood seeped into the wrench. And the wrench finger was also like a bottomless pit, absorbing Qin Ling's blood.
Soon, Qin Ling's face turned pale, and the arm that grabbed the rope gradually weakened. The wrench that sucked enough blood came out of Qin Ling's hand, and suddenly the blood rushed to the sky, Faye Wong and Wang Yunhan were completely left in stunned and were sucked into the realm of their true selves by the wrench.
The blood-red wrench completed the task and turned into countless points of light and submerged into Qin Ling's body. Qin Ling, who was in prostration, had a dark look in his eyes, lost his instincts, let go of the rope, and was engulfed by the Yellow Dragon Demon Scroll......
It's pitch black, it's pitch black! There's no light at all, and the eye can't see the surroundings.
Qin Ling woke up and found that it was pitch black all around, his mouth was blocked, his hands and feet were tied, and the whole person collapsed on the ground and couldn't move. It is really called that the heavens should not be, that the earth is not spiritual, and that the living is slaughtered by others.
Suddenly, countless torches in the pitch-black world were lit! On a high platform, Qin Ling and the mercenaries of the Scorpion Mercenary Group were imprisoned in an iron cage together, and the same people were tied up and unable to move.
A group of men and women wearing strange masks surrounded the platform and danced. There is a bad end in the hearts of all the people -- sacrifice! This is a custom that all tribes have, and whenever a tribe has a totem, the tribe will regularly offer sacrifices to the tribe's spirits.
This is, on a higher altar above their heads, a woman danced with a strange cane in her hand, and kept shouting out words that Qin Ling couldn't understand. Soon, under the leadership of the woman, all the people of the clan knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of the altar, still chanting words in their mouths.
Roar......
The entire place of worship shook gently with the sound of heavy footsteps, and a huge black shadow in the cave in front of him slowly walked out of the cave. Seeing their sacrifice moved the sacrifice spirit, the tribesmen even more dedicated their lives to worship.
On the other hand, the people in the iron cage did not seem calm, as soon as they saw that the monster was so huge, the mercenaries of the poisonous scorpion mercenary group suddenly despaired. With such a big body, it may be able to eat everyone in the iron cage in one bite.
"Huh?" At the entrance of the cave, a blue "cat" appeared in front of everyone, and the faces of several mercenaries changed very quickly, and when they saw that the monster turned out to be a cute cat, they couldn't help but cover their stomachs and laugh.
The blue "cat" seemed to be poked in pain, it was also majestic, and its majestic body made it proud of the beasts. How do you know, once you evolve, the body has shrunk severely, and the original majestic body no longer exists, replaced by a cat-like body. However, its strength has exploded considerably.
I saw it open its mouth and roar, and a blue lightning bolt struck the iron cage. Pitiful, Qin Ling and Zhang Xiong didn't make a sound from beginning to end, and they were scorched black by the thunder and lightning.
"The Divine Tiger is mighty, mighty ......"
Hearing the clansmen's praise of herself, the blue "cat" flicked her tail and ascended to the throne on the altar.
Qin Ling stared at the cat's every movement, as if he was familiar with it. If you grow in size and your hair turns white, is that a living lewd tiger?
"Tiger Cub...... It's me, save me......" Qin Ling was not sure in his heart, although the tiger boy's obscene expression was exactly the same as it, but the difference between the two was huge, and he could only give it a try.
Sure enough, the blue "cat" seemed to hear someone calling for help, and it looked around to see that the source of the sound was coming from the iron cage. It immediately rushed down the altar, and its little paw lightly swiped the lock, and the lock turned into scrap metal and fell to the ground.
"Tiger Boy!" Untying the rope, Qin Ling picked up the Thunder Battle Tiger, and had thought that the Thunder War Tiger would have such a cute time: "Thank you, Tiger Boy!"
"Are you a friend of Lord Shenhu?" the priestess led the clansmen to the iron cage and knelt on the ground: "It's all strange that the clansmen are careless, I hope the adults don't be surprised." ”
"Senior, please get up, I'm friends with the tiger boy, but you are still a senior, I can't afford to be a junior with such a big gift!" Qin Ling hurriedly helped the female priestess up.
