Chapter 19: Xiao Li
Everyone was stunned by the escape of the snake leader.
As mercenaries, they have been roaming the desert for many years, and have fought the snake people at least a few times a year.
In their impression, the snake people are lustful and belligerent, and they all call themselves warriors. Even in the face of a strong enemy, it will not give in without a fight.
There are countless snake-man squads wiped out by the mercenaries, and if they can't escape together, even if there is only one snake man left, he will fight until the last moment.
And the reason for all this is that in the snake tribe, for the snake people who abandon their companions and steal their lives, they will be banished to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave to suffer from the ten thousand snake phagocytosis.
Even though they have similar habits to snakes, and the snake venom in one hand has deflated countless mercenaries, the snake people still talk about the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.
For the snake people who were banished to the Ten Thousand Grottoes, almost no one was able to get out completely.
It is because of this precept that they are more united in the fight against the enemy, and their combat power soars.
But the snake man in front of him was obviously different, and he very decisively discarded the corpse of his companion, and made a cover for himself with the appearance of dying together, so that he could seek a glimmer of life.
Such scenes may be extremely common among humans, but they are very rare among the snake people.
"Damn it!"
"Chase."
"You guys stay, I'll follow the captain to chase after me."
Fortunately, everyone reacted quickly, and the black-robed young man took the lead, carrying a spear, and the soles of his feet stepped on the soft sand, and his body flashed away like an arrow from the string.
"It's still far from the snake people, he can't run away, Xue Lan, you stay and take care of the wounded and clean their wounds, so as not to leave hidden dangers." The white-robed young man said to the little girl beside him.
The girl known as Xue Lan nodded, and hurriedly ran to the camel cart not far away, took out some elixir and liquid, and began to heal the wounds of her companions who had been injured during the battle.
As for the mercenaries who still had physical strength, they were not to be outdone, and they all held weapons in their hands and chased in the direction where the snake leader left.
……
Tianxin looked at the snake man who was rushing towards him with a strange expression.
Where is it bad to run away, you have to go in your own direction?
Is this too good luck or too bad luck?
The next moment, his eyes condensed slightly, and he pulled out the Demon Breaking Knife from his waist and put on a posture.
There are many examples of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and carelessness and being killed by others abound, even if the snake man in front of him is only a nine-star fighter, he will not be careless, he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.
……
The leader of the snake people looked at the mercenaries who had caught up behind him, with a hint of jealousy, and at the same time a sense of panic in his heart.
Retracting his gaze, the fighting qi in his body was running wildly, increasing his speed by a few points again, and rushing towards the distance.
Suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared on his escape route.
It was a young man dressed in a blue robe, and his immature face made people wonder if he was an adult?
When the leader of the snake people saw the appearance of the celestial star, his triangular pupils condensed slightly, and a touch of bloodthirsty ferocity appeared on his face.
The leader of the snake man spat out the scarlet snake letter, his voice was slightly hoarse due to the high-speed running, he stretched out his palm with sharp fingertips, and a faint fighting spirit continued to linger on it: "I didn't expect to meet a human boy, hehe, Lao Tzu can't help the mercenary behind him, so he can only take you to the knife." ”
After that, there was a touch of madness on the gloomy face.
And the mercenaries behind him also discovered the young man who suddenly broke in, and the black-robed young man's face changed even more, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"Boy, get out of the way!"
He shouted at the stars.
"Hehe, it's late!"
The leader of the snake man looked at the young man in front of him who was drawing a knife against him, and sneered in his heart.
Especially when he saw that the young man was holding a rusty long knife in his hand, he was even more sure that the young man in front of him was just a little guy who had strayed into the desert, and he randomly picked up a long knife that had been left behind to defend himself.
He didn't think that the immature boy in front of him would be a threat to him, and he had even imagined the scene of his palm sinking into the boy's chest, and wantonly pouring out blood.
He licked his dry lips, let out a burst of sympathetic laughter, and said to the young man in front of him:
"Boy, blame the guys behind me."
With that, the stout snake tail gliding across the sand sand slammed towards the sand, and with a booming bang, the snake leader's speed increased again.
The high-speed movement caused the sand and gravel on the ground to fly in all directions, and the sound of breaking the air was endless.
Holding the long knife in one hand, Tianxing stood motionless, looking at the leader of the snake people who was getting closer and closer to him, he exhaled softly.
His gaze suddenly became extremely tough and sharp, as if a long knife had been injected into it, bursting with sharp light.
Twenty meters, ten meters, five meters......
As the leader of the snake people got closer and closer to Tianxing, everyone behind him also raised their hearts to their throats, especially when they saw Tianxing's appearance of not knowing what to do and not evading, their hearts were even more anxious.
The black-robed young man saw that he was still far away, so he injected his fighting qi into the spear in his hand, making a crisp buzzing sound, and then threw it fiercely towards the snake man.
"Huh~"
The spear sliced through the air, mixed with endless potential energy, and flew towards the snake man's back.
The snake man was suddenly alert, and at this critical juncture, his snake tail suddenly swayed, and his body turned strangely sideways.
And the spear behind him also arrived as scheduled, clinging to the armor behind him, narrowly dodging it.
The spear that pierced through everything missed its target and plunged into the sand.
Due to the action of inertia, the tail of the gun buzzed in all directions.
With a missed blow, the black-robed young man's face changed, but the snake man's face showed a touch of anger and hideousness.
The unhindered snake man rushed towards the sky star again, laughing uncontrollably, as if mocking the mercenaries behind him for not being able to save his own kind.
"Boy, go die."
The snake man appeared in front of the celestial star, even if there was no weapon in his hand, but the sharp fingertips were like a sharp weapon, and with the blessing of the fighting spirit, it was no less than a sharp long knife, swinging at the celestial star from top to bottom.
This made some mercenaries behind him subconsciously look away, as if they couldn't bear to see the cruel scene.
"Sneer~"
There was silence all around, except for the faint crackling sound of blood dripping down the desert.
The mercenaries behind him all stopped.
A moment later.
"Goo~".
A big man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stared blankly at the scene in front of him, seemed a little incredulous, and then turned to his companion beside him and asked:
"Do you see clearly?"
The companion who was asked also shook his head sluggishly, his gaze resting on a figure in front of him.
I saw that in the field, the young man was still holding a knife, and the snake man who was clamoring to kill the young man was actually split in half from top to bottom at this moment!
The crimson blood mixed with some yellow and green things sprayed all over the desert, and the pungent stench instantly penetrated everyone's nostrils.
The black-robed young man didn't seem to expect such a result, and a solemnity suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He came to the sand, lifted his spear from the sand, held it in his hand, and walked towards the stars.
Then he stopped at a distance of about four or five zhang from Tianxing, and arched his hand towards Tianxing: "Thank you little brother for killing this snake man here, just now I was thinking about trying my best to stop the leader of the snake man, but I didn't think about it, but I was thinking too much." ”
The leader of the snake man who can easily kill the strength of the nine-star fighter, and the young man in front of him is at least a high-level fighter.
Maybe it's a disciple of a big family in the empire, who was sent here to experience.
In any case, he did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.
"Below is the deputy captain of the Desert Iron Mercenary Squad in Stone Desert City, Xiao Li. Our mercenary team came across this snake team here, and took the opportunity to kill them. However, please rest assured, little brother, we will give you a lot of the bounty of this snake leader. ”
"Your name is Xiao Li?"
