The Gobi Desert near the desert.

An oasis sheltered from the wind.

Around the campfire.

Li Shuidao put down the grilled fish in his hand and asked with great interest: "Wei Daoyou, what ...... Where is that desert desperate situation? ”

Wei Wenshan smiled slightly, and a mysterious light flashed in her eyes. She gently put down the teacup in her hand and slowly spoke: "The desert is a strange place between heaven and earth. Its location is unpredictable, and you want to avoid it unless you've never set foot in the desert. ”

When Li Shuidao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "That...... Is there any way to find it? ”

Wei Wenshan's eyes were surprised: "Do you still want to go to the desert desperate situation?" ”

Li Shuidao smiled: "I'm just a little curious. ”

Wei Wenshan's eyes were deep, and she said with a solemn face: "Although the desert desperate situation is elusive, it is not completely untraceable. It is said that whenever a black storm hits, it is a precursor to the imminent appearance of a desert situation. At that time, the sky was full of dark clouds, the wind was howling, and the yellow sand was flying all over the sky, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the sky and the earth seemed to have lost their color. At that time, the caravan would rather be buried in the yellow sand than never move, and once swept away by the strong wind, it could strayed into it and never be able to get out. ”

"This ...... What is the chance of stumbling into it? Li Shuidao asked again.

"Huge!" Wei Wenshan said categorically.

She wanted to see fear on Li Shuidao's face, but she didn't see it, and even saw a little excitement.

"You're not going to lie to me, are you?" Li Shuidao clenched his fists, and his expression was even a little excited.

"Humph! What am I lying to you for? I'm ......" Wei Wenshan's words were suddenly interrupted, and her expression moved, as if she sensed something.

The camel bell rings, all the ropes are heard, the wind blows, and the killing machine is complete!

Wei Wenshan turned her head to stare at Li Shuidao, with a look of excitement on her face: "Your people are finally here!" ”

Li Shuidao: "......"

……

In the Gobi Desert at night, the silver moon is like a hook and the stars are shining.

In the oasis, a bonfire reflects the caravans, busy unloading, feeding the camels, cooking, chatting, drinking tea, setting up tents, and enjoying this rare quiet time.

Suddenly.

A group of black-clad men appeared like ghosts, armed with bows and crossbows, and their eyes were like poisonous snakes.

Bang!

Pulling the trigger, the repeater fired arrows that pierced the night sky and forced the caravan with the breath of death.

Poisoned arrows rained down like a torrent of arrows, and the unsuspecting merchants, porters, and even camels were thrown into chaos and panic.

"Look for death!"

With a roar of rage, a green shadow rushed towards the man in black.

It was the leader of the caravan, Wei Jingtai.

At the same time, Wei Wenshan, who was dressed in white, held a long knife in his hand, his posture was vigorous, and his movements quickly killed in another direction.

When Wei Jingtai's long sword waved, it brought up a cyan sword aura, as if the green dragon was out of the sea, unstoppable. And Wei Wenshan's long knife was smart and ruthless, slashing at the man in black with a knife.

Both of them rose into the air, their feet did not touch the ground, their shots were unstoppable, flying sand and rocks, shocking.

Seeing this scene, the people in black immediately panicked, they didn't expect that there were two second-order monks hidden in this seemingly ordinary caravan.

"Run! The idea is hard! This caravan can't be provoked! The men in black reminded each other, but they had fallen into the oppression of the two of them and could not escape.

The men in black mounted their arrows one after another, aiming at the two of them, ready to make a final counterattack.

It's a pity that the arrows sent out by the bow and crossbow have no effect on the second-order cultivators, and at most they will bully the first-order minor cultivators.

The men in black were suddenly crushed. They threw down their crossbows and fled in all directions. Wei Jingtai and Wei Wenshan did not intend to let them go.

The man in black fell down one by one like a dead leaf swept away by the autumn wind, leaving not a single living mouth.

Wei Jingtai stood in the center of the battlefield, his body stained with blood, like a god of war, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, scanning everything around him.

Wei Wenshan was carefully searching the relics of the men in black, but to her disappointment, these men in black did not even have a storage bag, only bows and arrows, and many of them were not even monks just mortals.

"They're just a bunch of cannon fodder." Wei Jingtai commented coldly.

At this moment, a porter of the caravan hurried over, his face full of horror: "Oh no! Oh no! Poison on the arrow! Our camels are foaming at the mouth, and those who have been shot are dying! ”

When Wei Wenshan heard this, her brows tightened: "They want us to be poisoned and unable to enter the desert." This group of people clearly came prepared. ”

Wei Jingtai's gaze also became solemn, he turned to look at Wei Wenshan and said with a cold face: "Go and ask that living mouth!" ”

Wei Wenshan bowed slightly to show her approval.

At this time, Li Shuidao was standing next to the corpse of a man in black, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He sighed lightly and said, "These people have already been frightened by you, so why bother to kill them all." ”

As he spoke, Wei Wenshan's long knife suddenly came out of its sheath, and the light of the knife flickered, and it instantly rested on Li Shuidao's neck. Her eyes were cold, as if she could penetrate people's hearts: "Say! What other intrigues are behind you? ”

Li Shuidao faced this sudden threat, but he did not show the slightest fear. He took out a delicate medicine bottle from his arms with a calm expression, and said indifferently: "This is the antidote, one drop per person can detoxify." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Wei Wenshan's eyes, but the long knife in his hand did not relax: "How do you prove that this medicine is true?" ”

Li Shuidao smiled slightly, and when he turned his hand, a drop of crystal liquid fell into the mouth of a poisoned camel. The camel's eyes suddenly regained their brightness, and it was obvious that the poison had been resolved.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Wei Wenshan's eyes, and then she withdrew the long knife and said, "Count you as acquaintances!" ”

Li Shuidao said indifferently: "Only one drop can be detoxified, and two drops will be poisoned again." ”

When Wei Wenshan heard this, she couldn't help but feel a trace of vigilance in her heart. She carefully gave a drop of antidote to each poisoned person, and sure enough, their symptoms improved quickly.

After curing the caravan, Wei Wenshan consulted with the relative leader Wei Jingtai.

Moments later......

Li Shuidao was invited to a tent, and Wei Wenshan carefully closed the curtain of the tent to cut off the outside world's sight.

Her expression was serious, and her eyes were like torches: "Li Daoyou, today's events, I, Wei Wenshan, remember them in my heart." I will repay your kindness for helping us out of danger. ”

Li Shuidao smiled slightly, and the wind was light: "Miss Wei is polite, but it's just a gesture, so why worry about it." ”

Wei Wenshan shook his head, his eyes were like knives: "Li Daoyou, since you are willing to fall to us, please tell us your plans and plans, you can rest assured that I, Wei Wenshan, will protect you and will never let the sand bandits harm your life." ”

When Li Shuidao heard this, he was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know the plan of the sand bandits, and I have nothing to do with the sand bandits. ”

Hearing that Li Shuidao was still denying it, Wei Wenshan laughed angrily, you have all the antidote with you, what is there to deny?

Wei Wenshan was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Li Daoyou, if you are honest with each other, my Wei family will definitely protect you!" If you still insist on concealment, then in the desert, you and I will go our separate ways. ”

When Li Shuidao heard this, he frowned, shook his head and said, "No! I'm going to go with you to the desert. ”

Hearing this, a sneer appeared on Wei Wenshan's face: "I used to treat you sincerely, but you teased me like this!" What is the reason why you have repeatedly refused to go to the desert, but now you regret that you want to go? ”

Li Shuidao smiled slightly, as if he didn't care, he said softly: "I am a traveler, and I really only planned to wander on the Gobi, but when I heard that there was a different world in the desert, I couldn't help but be curious, so I temporarily decided to go and find out. ”

Wei Wenshan: "......"

"Since you are so stubborn, then I will no longer be good at persuasion!" Wei Wenshan snorted coldly and turned to leave.

……

As night fell, the caravan was still asleep. Li Shuidao did not feel sleepy, he quietly left the tent and came to the Gobi Desert. The moonlight sprinkled on the Gobi was like a layer of silver veil. Li Shuidao began to practice fist and foot kung fu, and his movements were light and vigorous, as if he was one with heaven and earth.

What he practiced was the stunt of "Piercing Cloud Legs". Every kick, every turn, is full of power and beauty. His figure flickered in the moonlight, floating like a fairy.

Until the end of the day, Li Shuidao still did not return to the oasis, because the caravan did not set off at all.

His cultivation of the Phaseless True Monarch is extremely wide, and the people in the caravan can't perceive him, but he can clearly know the current situation of the caravan.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the caravan finally began to set off slowly.

Li Shuidao also pinched back into the ranks of the caravan, jumped lightly, and lay on the cloud camel again.

Wei Wenshan rode over on a cloud camel, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she teased: "Li Daoyou, I thought you had run overnight last night. ”

Li Shuidao lay on the hunchback and said leisurely: "Miss Wei said that she laughed, I just went to visit the night of the Gobi Desert." ”

"That's right...... Why did you leave so late? Li Shuidao asked rhetorically.

Wei Wenshan shook his head lightly, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid that Daoist friends have never been to the desert, in this desert, the sun is like fire during the day, and we can only go out by day and night. ”

Li Shuidao showed a look of understanding: "So you're about to go to the desert?" ”

"That's right, this is the edge of the desert, and at most an hour, you can see the yellow sand in the sky!"

An hour later, the caravan finally stepped into the desert.

In front of me, there is an endless stretch of yellow sand, and the wind is howling, rolling up gusts of sand and dust, and even if it is not noon, the rolling heat wave is blowing in the face.

Li Shuidao also saw the desert for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature, and at the same time full of curiosity about this unknown place.

Wei Wenshan rode a white camel and came to Li Shuidao again, this time her expression became extremely serious, and she said sternly: "Li Daoyou, I didn't discuss with you this time!" The caravan has entered the desert and is full of dangers. You are not from our caravan, for the safety of the caravan, please leave the caravan immediately! ”

When Li Shuidao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was seriously considering Wei Wenshan's words.

Suddenly.

Li Shuidao gently rolled down from the cloud camel and landed steadily on the soft sand, then he squatted down and began to dig in the sand with both hands.

Wei Wenshan: "......"

Three times five divided by two, Li Shuidao dug out a small dusty thing from the sand.

It was a desert toad.

The little toad fluttered like a lump of sand, and it stared at Li Shuidao with huge eyes, stunned.

Li Shuidao held the little toad in his hand with a look of surprise on his face, as if he had discovered something incredible.

His eyes widened and he said in astonishment, "There are toads in the desert!?" Where did you mix when you were a tadpole? ”

Wei Wenshan: "......"

Seeing that Li Shuidao was attracted by a small toad, Wei Wenshan didn't bother to care about him, and said to the porter next to him: "Don't worry about him!" We hurried on our way. ”

The caravan continued to march through the desert in a mighty way, while Li Shuidao remained in place and even continued to dig.

When the caravan was over the sand dunes, Wei Wenshan looked back and found that Li Shuidao was still exploring in place.

Wei Wenshan was completely confused, so he could only let him do it.

……

As the caravan moved away, deep footprints were left in the sand, which would remain for a long time as long as the wind did not blow.

Li Shuidao stared at these footprints, watching the caravan go away until it completely disappeared from his sight.

With his cultivation of the True Monarch of the Phaseless Realm, it was easy to follow this caravan from afar without being discovered.

He planned to wait until the Black Storm came, and then use the nephrite mask to disguise himself as a caravan porter and blend into the caravan again, so that he would have a great chance of entering the legendary desert desperate situation.

The desert desperation is the realm of alien beasts, and the alien beasts must be hiding from high-level monks if they have spiritual intelligence, and the target of its hunting must be a large number of caravans.

It is almost impossible for a high-level monk to look for a strange beast alone, after all, the foreign beasts are extremely cunning, and their cultivation is not low, so they can sense the existence of a high-level monk and hide it.

And the caravan is like a bait, attracting strange beasts to devour, and Li Shuidao is the fisherman behind the scenes.

As long as that desert beast dares to bite the bait, he will never let it run away.

Li Shuidao retracted his gaze from afar, lowered his head and swept the desert toad in his hand. The creature looked particularly ugly in the afterglow of the setting sun, and its dusty body seemed to merge with the desert.

There are sand frogs in this world, I don't know if there are fire frogs?

Li Shuidao stared at the desert toad in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously disappointed in this creature's cultivation. It barely had any cultivation, it was equivalent to an ordinary mortal beast, which made it impossible for him to test the depth of its toxicity.

After thinking for a moment, the blood on Li Shuidao's palm surged, and he saw that the blood light was like a wisp, quickly seeping into the toad's body, destroying its vitality, and instantly turning it into a pure blood source.

Then, his hands were sealed, and words were recited in his mouth. A bloody light emerged from his palm, pointing to the center of the desert.

This blood light will lead Li Shuidao to find the source of the bloodline of this desert toad, so as to find an even more powerful desert toad. (End of chapter)
