Chapter 368: Silver Demon Simon Blows Snow
The Gobi Desert of the vulture, which is wide from north to south, is a typical flat long neck, this Gobi Desert is like a natural dividing line, dividing the grassland into two pieces, to the north is the Mongolian steppe, and to the south is the foothill steppe belt.
And the grassland belt north of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain and south of the Vulture's Gobi Desert is the main battlefield of the empire and the grassland.
Although the Gobi Desert of the vultures is not wide, it is uninhabited, and even if it is, it is mostly directly crossed, with the speed of cavalry, the fast is one day, and the slow is two days.
Leng Zhuo and his entourage are in the middle of the Gobi Desert to the east, there is a cloud falcon reconnaissance, in this open place, the field of vision is enough to monitor the surrounding fifty miles of the area, if it is peaceful, maybe you can also see the business travelers crossing the north and south on the Gobi Desert, but at this moment, this place is really uninhabited.
However, no human population does not mean no human being, and although the Gobi Desert lacks water sources, there are exceptions.
"My lord, according to the direction we are traveling now, we are almost at the ruins of the ancient city!" Xuan Chen urged his horse to catch up with Leng Zhuo and said to Leng Zhuo.
Leng Zhuo sighed: "Is there anything to say about this ancient city!" Xuan Chen would not come over and deliberately tell him about an ancient city with only some traces left, since he said it, it must be unusual here.
Xuanchen nodded and said: "The ancient city can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, at that time, the ancient city was the end of this Gobi, and it was also an important north-south thoroughfare, which had been prosperous for a hundred years, but after the river near the ancient city was broken, the city was annihilated in the wind and sand Gobi
But adults also know that there are few signs to determine the direction of the grassland, and it is easy to get lost, so it is still an important road sign today, and many business travelers will pass through here!"
"And then?"
In the past, most of the Gobi bandits here were not large, dozens, hundreds, but since a few years ago, a person came here, but he integrated dozens of horse bandit gangs, and he had 3,000 horse bandits and proclaimed himself the lord of the ancient city, and collected the tolls!"
"You mean, there's someone in the ancient city?"
"Perhaps, I can't say for sure, after all, some time ago, the grassland iron cavalry swept through this area, I don't know if they took advantage of the situation to take this place, even if they didn't, if they cut off the business trip, they are likely to plunder, but it's always better to be careful!"
"Why, this group of horse bandits has a very high combat power, so you respect it so much!"
"It's naturally nothing compared to adults, but being able to collect tolls in Kaicheng here, and even start wars with several nearby grassland tribes one after another, and finally won a big victory, these horse bandits are still very strong in combat!"
"Really?" Leng Zhuo asked, obviously there was not fear in that tone, but a little excitement, saying that this time the westward advance could be said to have suffered a lot of losses, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses lost nearly half, and there were still some wounds in the team that could not be treated, so they were not marching fast.
"This, I think it should be!" Xuan Chen has not dealt with it directly, but there have been rumors, the reason why this group of Gobi horse bandits can gain a foothold and collect tolls is impossible without excellent strength, after all, this is a grassland where the weak eat the strong.
"Heh, then I want to see and understand, maybe it's not bad to be incorporated!" Leng Zhuo's soldiers and horses were originally a big miscellaneous clam, what border army, what forbidden army, as well as local legions, adventurers, Hu Qi, Lin Man, it can be said that everyone has gathered, if a group of bandits are recruited, it will be really lively.
The ancient city, built in the Tang Dynasty 127, about a thousand years ago, the city is built with Gobi soil and stone, very solid, but after thousands of years of wind and sun, the city wall has also collapsed most of it, some places are eroded by the wind to form a very unique shape, from the sky, but can still vaguely see the general outline of the ancient city.
"No one?" The sentry sent to the detective quickly brought back the news, the city was uninhabited and empty, which made Leng Zhuo a little disappointed, he thought that he could collect some people this time, after all, the next step was to attack the Yuntian Fortress, and the lack of men and horses was really a problem.
Seeing that it was not early, Leng Zhuo directly let the soldiers and horses enter the city to rest, although the city wall was broken, but there were some places to shelter the wind and sand, and it was much easier to camp than on the flat Gobi.
The dazed Nighthawk female guards got up again at night and took on the task of night duty, of course, for these female guards, Leng Zhuo was not completely at ease, so the patrol people still had some of Leng Zhuo's generals under their hearts.
The howling wind, like a ghost crying wolf, raging in this ancient city, Leng Zhuo lay on the leather felt, looking at the two figures on the other side of the curtain, but the resentment against Ye Linglong is getting deeper and deeper, sooner or later she has to eat her.
Leng Zhuo closed his eyes with the felt, but Leng Zhuo was a little difficult to sleep, entered the space of the hundred generals, and continued to forge bows and arrows with the snake tendons obtained from the Eagle Rift Valley, as for the bow body, it was with snake vertebrae.
The vertebrae of the snake are well-proportioned and flexible, as long as they are made of gold
After all, the spine can be bent at a certain angle, and after forging into a bow, it is stronger than the general beast horn bow or even an iron bow, and it does not take much effort to pull it up.
The most important thing is that Leng Zhuo has made a lot of this thing, which is piled up in the warehouse of the hundred generals, and it is estimated that it is more than enough to equip tens of thousands of people, but Leng Zhuo can only forge three in one night, which is already the limit.
Leng Zhuo began to forge, and suddenly there was a sound of fighting from the outside world, Leng Zhuo suddenly withdrew from the space of the hundred generals, opened his eyes, turned over and climbed up, and the sound of fighting around him became more real.
Leng Zhuo came to the tent quickly, and before anyone could speak, there was a cold light joint around him, but this knife fell on a soft place, more than an inch away from Leng Zhuo, and it could no longer be saved.
Bang, earth-based gravity technique, as soon as the gravity field comprehended from the Diamond Rock Wolf King was activated, the knife was squeezed and bent raw, and then the person who sneaked up on Leng Zhuo pounced, was crushed to the ground, and fainted with Venus in his eyes.
"Ping Pong Master!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect this group of horse bandits to hide underground, it's hard to access and tidy up* No wonder there is no figure, each leading the troops, try to catch them alive!"
The Bell and Drum Tower, the tallest building in the ancient city, is now less than half of it, and under the wind erosion, it has formed an inverted cone that seems to fall at any time, but this is still the highest place in the ancient city, and on it, a man with silver hair is standing there.
The night breeze blew his silver hair, and under the bright moonlight, it shone with a silvery white luster, and he was the leader of the three thousand Gobi horse bandits, known as the butcher of the silver devil by the nearby tribes.
Under the cold moon, those cynical eyes looked at the entire boiling ancient city, and his tongue licked the corners of his lips involuntarily, and the taste of blood made him boil again.
Leng Zhuo walked forward step by step, with his strength to deal with this group of horse bandits, although he could not use a hundred times the gravity technique like the Diamond Rock Wolf King, but Leng Zhuo had strong spiritual power, using spiritual power to limit gravity.
The people who were close to Leng Zhuo were all inexplicably smashed to the ground, and within five meters, almost no one could stand in front of Leng Zhuo.
The Silver Demon, who was standing on a high place, naturally saw the rampant Leng Zhuo, took a step ahead, and the whole person fell in a straight line like a cannonball, just a meter away from the ground.
Bang, the wall of air cracked like glass, forming an exploding whirlwind, rolling up a cloud of dust, but the silver demon was like a bullet, shooting towards Leng Zhuo.
Lightning-like speed, but no matter how fast his speed is, when he enters Leng Zhuo's five-meter range, he will also be detected by Leng Zhuo in an instant, and the gravity technique suddenly spreads, and several gravity hammers cut through the air and staggered towards the person who flew in.
Different gravity multiples, the difference in gravity formed, and the tearing wind formed can tear people to pieces, Leng Zhuo has experimented with people, and this cruelty is more bloody than Li Yuanba's giant hammer.
The gravity hammer, which was almost impossible to dodge, was like a high-speed ripping machine, tearing the silver demon to pieces in an instant, but there was not a single splatter of blood.
Leng Zhuo frowned, looked at the dark corner, a faint figure stepped out of the dark nothingness, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I haven't met such an interesting opponent for a long time, are you ready to die!"
Leng Zhuo sneered and said, "It's up to you!"
"Heh, it seems that you are very confident that you will not be killed by me, I like confident people, because their gaze before death is very intoxicating, that kind of stunned, disbelief, and deep remorse....!"
"Ximen Blowing Snow! You are Ximen Blowing Snow!" Ye Linglong, who was holding two knives, widened her eyes and looked at the silver-haired man, and couldn't help but scream.
But Leng Zhuo turned his head, and said, is it an acquaintance?
"Linglong, you know this guy!" Leng Zhuo asked.
Ye Linglong wanted to say that she didn't know him, but I'm afraid that there is no one in the entire imperial capital who doesn't know this man, the ghost talent of the Ximen family, it is said that his strength is almost indescribable, because that is not the ability of talents at all.
This person practiced the nose of the Ximen family's Thousand Illusions to the sixth layer, and the Thousand Illusions were only seven layers in total, and it is said that he was impacting the last change of the Thousand Illusions, went mad, killed his wife, and his younger brother's family.
All kinds of speculations about him were almost the most talked about topic in Dijing a few years ago, and he was Ximen Blowing Snow.
