A crescent moon hung silently over the desert, sprinkling a silvery glow on the yellow sand.

In the distance, the gray shadow of the second city of Zisai was faintly visible.

The cold wind was blowing fiercely, and the ghost weather peculiar to the desert - it was hot during the day and cold at night

Bursts of cold cool breeze flowed through her cheeks, pulling Jing Chuwei's thoughts back from her memories.

She yawned, took out a copper hand engraved with a moon ring from her satchel, and with a flick of it, the pointer was inserted into the yellow sand.

"Alas, let's go, let's go, it's late!"

Jing Chuwei pulled out the pointer, put away the Nanzhao sword, turned over the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and blew the finger whistle, the two Gelgong grassland horses were very well-informed, comprehended the new master's intentions, and suddenly galloped out, speeding up their hooves, and heading all the way west.

The rolling sand dunes along the way, the yellow mang's abandoned beacon tower, and the continuous yellow sand connecting with the sky, if you walk in the desert very much, you can't imagine where the right path is.

However, she seems to be leisurely, but she has never let her guard down.

In addition to observing the surrounding enemy, Jing Chuwei also secretly observed Princess Ashina from time to time - fortunately, the little hooves were "sleeping" soundly, and there was no sign of waking up.

Jing Chuwei let out a breath and gave up the idea of rushing back to the "Night No Collection" base camp overnight - perhaps, she could go to the Erniang Inn to rest for a while first, and then go on the road after dawn.

By the way, she can also ask Jin Erniang about who the connector of the old knife handle is.

Although, Jing Chuwei was very sympathetic to the experience of the old knife handle and those swordsmen.

If she is still a border killer, then, whether it is out of chivalrous spirit or morality, Jing Chuwei will definitely hand over Princess Ashina to their connector.

However, now, she is a public errand, receives the salary of the border army, and eats the food of the imperial court, so naturally she will not leave such an important "trump card" among the people.

Moreover, with such a hot potato in your hands, you may not know what moths will come out.

Thinking of this, Jing Chuwei couldn't help but shake the reins and speed up the journey back to Zisai.

But at this moment, she felt a strange "hissing" sound suddenly sounded all around.

The sound was like the tiny sound of thousands of small insects jumping out of the sand pit and squirming forward at a rapid pace.

It's creepy, and goosebumps are rising.

Jing Chuwei followed the sound and stopped the horse, dismounted and looked around, and listened carefully - although this voice sounded from all directions at the same time, but when you listen carefully, there are subtle differences, a total of five ways. They came from five directions, and looking at the direction of the sound, they were all in the direction of the two cities of Zisai? "There are five soldiers and horses sent troops to Zisai? No..... Wrong! If it's a soldier or a horse, the movement is still too small, what is it? Jing Chuwei stepped forward immediately, listened to the voice, followed the nearest voice, and hurried away.

After walking less than a hundred steps, she was suddenly startled - looking at it by the moonlight, Jing Chuwei gasped and couldn't help her scalp tingling

It's a scorpion!

In the sand pit not far ahead, it was densely crawled with scorpions!

These scorpions, which look like purple eggplants, have a crispy and shiny skin on the surface of their bodies. Different from the local column-tailed scorpion in the desert, the body is yellow and the body is small. These scorpions are huge, with a head carapace on the back, dense granular protrusions, a pair of middle eyes in the center of the back, three lateral eyes on each side of the front end, and six pairs of appendages.

"Could it be that this is the highly poisonous thing that those Six Edicts brought from Miao Jiang?" At that moment, Jing Chuwei suddenly recalled that if she didn't accept the military division at night, Chang Chifeng had taught a lesson - specifically about the Gu technique of this Nanzhao and the secret technique of repelling snakes in the Western Regions. The former can make poisonous insects bow down to their ears, and the latter can dance with snakes.

Judging from the fact that these scorpions crawled in groups on their own on a large scale and in the direction of the second city of Zisai, it was obvious that they were being manipulated by humans.

Although I have heard about it, I have already prepared for it. However, it was the first time that so many poisons could be controlled, and such a large-scale migration could be carried out, and the swarm could not be chaotic at all. This is simply beyond the scope of Chang Chifeng's teaching, and even a master like Jing Chuwei has a chill from the bottom of his heart when he sees it.

"Being able to control so many poisons, I'm afraid it's only a Gu master from Nanzhao, right?" Jing Chuwei secretly paid: "But, thousands of miles away, why is such a large-scale migration of poisons?" Could it be that it's to deal with my Zisai border army? ”

Just when Jing Chuwei was intently observing and bewildered, suddenly, the Gelgong horse under her crotch let out a sharp neigh, and the horse's hooves spun around uneasily, as if standing unsteadily.

At that moment, the killer's instinct suddenly awakened from his body.

Jing Chuwei didn't look at it, she suddenly pulled out the six edict swords, swung the sword and slashed down, with a "whoosh" sound, a streamer flashed, and a snake head jumped up in the air, accompanied by a watery smell, which made her almost want to vomit.

"Huh? Is it a snake? ”

Jing Chuwei was so surprised, it turned out that at that moment just now, her sixth sense didn't realize that the poisonous snake was approaching?

This is the first time since their debut.

It can be said that as a killer, she overlooked, made mistakes, and even missed.

She subconsciously looked back, and at that moment, it seemed that there was a flow of frost spreading along Jing Chuwei's nerves from the center - only to see that behind her, there were dozens of triangular-headed poisonous snakes, the snake body was silent, but the letter in her mouth kept hissing, waving and undulating in the moonlight, which was terrifying.

Seeing this, Jing Chuwei gritted her teeth, slammed her feet, spun around, and performed her footwork, which changed suddenly, and changed dozens of directions in the blink of an eye.

Under the moonlight, there is only an unreal silhouette left, which is dazzling.

In just an instant, dozens of snake heads flew straight into the sky, and the air was filled with the stench of snake blood.

Jing Chuwei shook lightly, swung the sword, and saw that the snake blood on the sword body rolled down on the yellow sand like a bead with a broken thread in an instant.

She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn away, but unexpectedly, hundreds of colorful and variously shaped poisonous snakes came out of the sand pit around her, spitting bright red snake hyacinths, and wriggled towards her.

Seeing this, Jing Chuwei didn't have time to think about anything else, Huo Ran turned around, took out a brown robe from the satchel, pulled Princess Ashina, and lay on the ground on the spot, put on the robe, and held her breath.

Plumage.

A special costume that blends perfectly with the desert environment.

Specially made by the 'Night Harvest' Weaving Bureau, it looks a bit like a cloak, with both sides and a front and back, and the front material is derived from a small bird's feather that changes according to the environment. On the reverse side, a special silk is used to shield the breath of living people.

It can be found by wild animals, and the only drawback is that it cannot move.

Later, an ordinary soldier who did not harvest at night, when he was scouting in the Qianli Gelgong grassland, found a special fruit that could also shield the breath of the living and confuse the beasts.

The feather coat was gradually abandoned and eliminated, which is not a later story.

After about a cup of tea, three men in white came out of the group of snakes, holding "peji" (the instrument of the snake blower), blowing strange tunes.

As if sensing the sound of a living person's breathing, the three of them immediately stopped to listen, and blew a strange sound wave from the jet, and in a short time, the snakes quickly squirmed in the direction where Jing Chuwei was.

Jing Chuwei was shocked when she saw the snake chaser, and scolded secretly: "What a weird snake repellent technique!" ”

She knew that she couldn't hide it, so she hurriedly ripped off her feather coat, clamped Princess Ashina under her armpit, grabbed the reins, and used her inertia to turn over and get on the horse, just about to ride the horse away. But before he galloped out, he suddenly saw a person suddenly flash in front of him, and when he saw someone coming, the Gelgun war horse was uncontrollable, and immediately closed the momentum.

Jing Chuwei couldn't help but be surprised, raised her eyes and saw that the man was tall and thin, wearing a willow hat on his head, a hair scattered, wearing a blue flower left Miao suit, and a blue wide pair of pants on the bottom, the upper and lower clothes were embroidered with extremely complex patterns (similar to birds, beasts, insects and fish-like hieroglyphs), and a sheath on his waist was embedded with three gorgeous peacock feathers, which were brilliant and dazzling in the dark night.......
