Ahead was still a flat desert, but there were countless tents on the ground.

Originally, most of the demon clans in the desert had already left, and the remaining demon clans must be both drought-tolerant and strong.

Because if you can't adapt to the extremely arid environment, you will naturally die, and if you are weak, you will be exterminated by other tribes, or sand bandits.

After all, there are only a few oases in the desert, and there are not enough demon clans, so these demon clans are generally scattered, and they rarely gather like they do now.

Zhu Wen did not expect such a situation.

"That's not right."

He muttered, "It looks like the sand thieves who are still in the desert are here." ”

Li Rui said: "It's okay, let's go over and have a look first." ”

It's not that he doesn't want to keep a low profile, it's mainly that Julius is too big, and it's very difficult for him to keep a low profile.

After such a group of people broke in, of course, it would arouse the vigilance of the sand thieves.

Everywhere he passed, there were many undisguised malicious eyes looking at him, which made Zhu Wen and Ape feel a little hairy in their hearts.

"Why, do they seem to be so jealous of us?"

Zhu Wen didn't know what to do, after all, the matter of the ancient city of Huangsha should not have reached this side yet, and the demon clan should not know them.

Li Rui said: "It's not surprising that these sand thieves are friends and foes with each other, they are already wary of each other, I deliberately took the middle road, that is, under the noses of all parties, they dare not act easily, for fear of causing conflict first." ”

Zhu Wen suddenly realized that he had been living in a corner for many years, and his head was a little bad at dealing with foreign people.

Cheng Mingyue said lazily: "It's better for them to settle down, anyway, just look at the movements of these demon clans, and we can find our target." ”

Zhu Wen didn't understand her words, but just took the opportunity to suggest: "The terrain in the quicksand canyon is complicated, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss, we can follow these sand thieves." ”

He can also be regarded as integrated into Li Rui's style, if he had encountered such a rampant bandit in the desert before, he would definitely want to bury his head in the sand, and now he actually wants to use them.

Both of them coincidentally put forward similar views, and Li Rui naturally followed suit.

Cheng Mingyue was a little worried: "However, what if someone has already gotten what we want?" Murder and treasure hunting? ”

Li Rui smiled: "Sister Yue, this worry is a bit redundant, these sand thieves are not a group in the first place, the reason why they are safe and sound must be because they haven't gotten the means of that thing yet." If it really had already appeared, it would have started a fight a long time ago. ”

"Makes sense."

Cheng Mingyue said, "It must be because there are some obvious signs, but the sand thieves don't have enough money to open the door." ”

Li Rui also thought so, and only moved forward in the direction of the flow of people with great strength.

He took the Vajra umbrella in his hand in advance, and in case of any situation, he could start fighting directly, after all, the sand thieves here were stronger than the gang in the Huangsha Ancient City, and the number had increased dozens of times.

In the vast sandy soil, the sand thieves who drank blood shuttled back and forth, and the closer they got to the location of the quicksand gorge in the north, the more and more they became, and soon there were wounded and carried back by their companions.

As soon as Li Rui was about to find a way to find someone to ask, he heard a commotion in front of him.

Many demon clans are clamoring, some are gloating, some are angry, some are anxious, and some are not a big deal just to watch the excitement.

Soon, a group of hoofed demon clans rushed back from the front, carrying a simple and huge stretcher in their hands, on which lay a tall demon clan.

This team of demon guys who didn't know what it was rushed all the way, and soon passed by Li Rui and the others, leaving only a string of blood stains on the sand.

Zhu Wen was frightened, and after the demon clan walked away, he whispered: "Guest, I know the one who was carried down just now, it is the Shatuo clan who used to dominate Jinluan City, the demon clan's name is Tuoliusi, who used to be the general in the city, and now he is the famous leader of the sand thieves. ”

Li Rui asked, "How do you know?" ”

Zhu Wen sneered: "In the past, when our clan went deep into the desert to explore, we were once plundered by them. ”

"How did you survive?" Li Rui asked.

Zhu Wen sighed and shook his head: "At that time, we encountered a violent burst of sand and dust, and there was a lack of supplies, and we were already on the way back, and we didn't have much money on us. When the Shatos learned the reason why we had gone deep into the desert, she was not embarrassed, but praised us and gave us a few water bladders. ”

"Then he's weird." Li Rui chuckled, but it was just casually said, of course he knew, but if the three-legged clan had more supplies at that time, I was afraid that he would have to be robbed.

Zhu Wen could also figure it out, but he just smiled awkwardly and didn't say much.

But as they moved on, they encountered another clash.

I saw that several Shatuo clans were surrounded by several other wolf demons, and these wolf demons had already shown their true appearances, all of them were several meters long, covered in earthy yellow fur, and their eyes were full of killing intent.

And a few Shatuo demons shivered back to back in the middle.

When their leader is carried back, they will naturally be weakened, and the original enemies, or other sand thieves who covet their treasures, will of course take advantage of the opportunity, after all, it is not the good men and women who can entrench here.

"Whew-"

The head wolf howled, and it seemed that he had finally given the order to cull, and he himself opened his bloody mouth, and was about to come forward to bite, but suddenly, a strong force came from his tail, and the head wolf only felt the sky spinning, and then fell on all fours to the ground on his back.

"Get out!"

Ape two stood on Julius's shoulder and shouted.

Those wolf demons were shocked in their hearts, after the wolf transformed into his true appearance, he was full of power, but he was thrown out with one hand by a strange-looking guy, which made them unthinkable.

However, Li Rui did not kill him, and at this time, it was not a situation of not dying, they hurriedly helped the head wolf, and then quickly fled with their tails between their legs.

The rescued Shatuo were pleasantly surprised, even though they didn't know the people who had helped.

After some gratitude and politeness, the Shatuo clan also learned what happened, and the heart said that the leader of the year was benevolent, and he actually helped a lot at this time, and felt that the strength of this person holding a black umbrella was unfathomable and could not be offended, so he spoke quite politely.

Therefore, when Li Rui opened his mouth to ask what was going on here and what these sand thieves were seeking, these Shatuo tribes knew everything.

"Don't you know, there were rumors many years ago that there were heavy treasures hidden in Nuanyang Prefecture, and eighty-one fine coins were needed to open the door, and there were people of all ethnic groups in the world who believed and those who did not believe at that time."

"However, no one can disbelieve it now, because last month, the quicksand gorge suddenly shook the mountains, and half of the desert was affected, and then someone discovered that an ancient palace rose under the canyon, and it must be the rumored treasure inside."

Li Rui asked, "In that case, why do you stay here if you don't want to explore the palace?" ”

The Shatuo clan laughed dryly: "Don't talk about exploring the palace. We haven't found a way to enter the palace so far, and not only that, but it will take a lot of effort just to get closer, and even the leader is seriously injured, so if you want to try, you must be careful. ”
