Chapter 125: Returning South
The situation has reached this point, and the only way is to fight to the death. The Whirlwind immediately jumped into the fray, having been fighting side by side for years, and they already had a tacit understanding in their hearts that they knew what moves and actions their teammates were going to take, even if they weren't looking. Therefore, the cooperation of the six of them was seamless, causing serious injuries and blows to Qi Swallowing Thousands of Clouds.
For a while, although there were many killers, they couldn't help them. The six of them formed a group, covering each other's teammates' flanks, facing the enemies in all directions, killing to the east for a while, and killing and stealing, the killer team also moved with their movements, flickering left and right, swallowing thousands of miles of clouds to besiege the killer, as if playing the dragon tail swing under Helan Mountain.
But a few hours passed, and the dragon did not swallow the whirlwind team, but the remnants of the armor fell all over the mountain, and the killer team suffered countless casualties.
Of course, the six members of the whirlwind team are already bloody, and their physical strength is exhausted, and even Li Murong, who has always been calm and relaxed, has a color on her delicate and fair face, and the two sides are completely in a state of stalemate. Niu Feifei looked very anxious and whispered, "They are trying to trap us to death." As long as you don't break out, sooner or later you will be defeated at their hands. ”
"Shut up!" Nangong Hao shouted: "A real fighter, once he enters the state of fighting and fighting, he should have me invincible in his heart, win and be defeated, and don't have any other distracting thoughts." At this time, I really saw Nangong Hao's heroism, even though the catastrophe was coming, he was still ambitious.
Niu Feifei was silent, and the six of them continued to cover each other's backs, facing enemies from all sides, and exerting their own kung fu to the extreme, at least until the whirlwind team was defeated, not giving each other any chance.
This is a dead end, as Niu Fat said, as long as they can't break out, they will lose sooner or later. Unless a miracle happens, this deadlock must be broken. But what miracle will appear at the foot of this Helan Mountain? Even if other forces appear, it will definitely be conducive to swallowing thousands of clouds and not conducive to the whirlwind team. It's far away from Jiangnan, away from Xiaoyao Valley, away from any power they can rely on.
However, things in the world are often unpredictable, just when they thought there was no hope, the sky in the distance suddenly became yellow and bright, and above the dazzling yellow light, there were wisps of black gas. But it's not black gas, it's floating sand, floating sand that is swept up by the wind.
"Sandstorm!" exclaimed one of the killers.
The bright yellow color of the sky was a harbinger of a sandstorm, a frenzied sandstorm that was rolling in from the horizon at an indescribably fast speed.
In the northern savannahs and deserts, sandstorms are the main killers of people and animals. The more sudden it became, the more violent the lethality, so the man exclaimed.
"Hahahaha. Zhan Dongfang looked up to the sky and laughed, and shouted happily: "God help me!" because this sandstorm is an assistant from the sky, which can help them break the dead end and regain their vitality.
The Whirlwind team is even happier at killing, and they're going to try to deal with as many killers as they can before the sandstorm comes. Because after the sandstorm, who dies and who lives, it depends on the will of God.
The sandstorm is coming, the sky and the earth change color, the wind blows fiercely, the sand and rocks fly, and you can't open your eyes at all in the storm. There was a sand nest next to it, and Zhan Dongfang had already noticed it. In the wind and sand, he said to everyone with difficulty: "Everyone hold hands, follow me!" As he spoke, he pulled up Niu Fei, Niu Feifei climbed Nangong Ying's shoulder, Nangong Ying held Hua Qianqian's hand, Hua Qianqian held Li Murong, Li Murong pulled Nangong Hao, and the six people forcibly moved sideways in the wind and sand. Zhan Dongfang relied on his feelings, and finally arrived in the sand nest, letting everyone bow down and use the sand nest as a cover to avoid the wind and sand.
But the wind and sand are ruthless, and it is not because they stay in the sand nest that they do not attack them, and after a storm passes, the floating sand has already filled in the sand nest, and the scene is a mess, only sand and gravel are seen, and no people are seen.
After a long time, the bulging sandbag appeared to loosen, Zhan Dongfang straightened his back, raised his head, and looked around to see that there was no half of a figure around. After the storm, there was silence in the heavens and the earth. He threw down his sword, shaved sand with both hands, and was the first to dig out the cow's fat. One by one, they scooped the other teammates out of the sand, unscrewed the water bladder and fed each of them a few mouthfuls of water. Everyone coughed and gasped, and slowly eased up, and at this time there was a feeling of escaping death, thinking that it was the sandstorm that saved them.
They were about to leave Helan Mountain, but they simply packed up, found their respective blades, and slowly walked forward by supporting each other.
The wind and sand are vast, and they cannot accurately determine the direction, so they can only travel roughly to the south. The wind and sand brought a thick layer of floating sand, and there was a deep footprint under each foot, and if you were not careful, you would step on the corpse of a killer. After the trip to Helan Mountain, the Whirlwind team seemed to have become more iron-blooded. Zhan Dongfang is at the forefront. Dafan stepped on the corpse, whether it was dead or alive, he raised a knife in his hand, and then walked over without looking at it.
After the storm, some of the killers gradually regained consciousness under the burial of the floating sand, woke up leisurely, and began to block the whirlwind team in twos and threes.
The first batch to block the way was the top killers of the No. 1 Battalion, a total of four people, they were still in their original attire, black clothes, black hats, and black masks, looking gloomy. Four swords suddenly appeared in front of the Whirlwind team, and the sharp swords pierced through the sand, making waves on the ground, and there was little time for people to react. Walking in the forefront of Zhan Dongfang, the battle knife was dragged, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, forming a protective line, and a series of sand flowers burst out on the ground, and the offensive of the four killers was stopped.
Nangong Ying, Nangong Hao, Li Murong, and Niu Feifei immediately rushed out, one opponent at a time, and solved the other party with lightning speed when there was no room for it. But this gave them a strong sense of crisis, and in this piece of floating sand, they don't know how many killers are hidden. They had been fighting here for several hours since the morning, and had not eaten for a day since they had avoided the sandstorm, and they were too weak to continue the battle.
Li Murong looked at everyone and said, "Let's find a place to rest first, recover our strength before we move." ”
They took a few sips of water in a sheltered place, rested for a while, saw that there was no one around, and continued on their way. But they got it wrong and instead of retreating smoothly to the south, they went northwest and into the hinterland of the steppes.
The further they went, the stricter the Mongol soldiers' checks became, and they already felt that this was not the direction of Xiaoyao Valley, but the direction of Hara and Lin. What happened to Hara and Lin, and what was the Mongol army doing with such a high level of security?
When Wokotai was seriously ill, he issued an edict ordering Guiyou and other generals to return to Mongolia on the way, but Guiyou died on the way. The kingdom of Mongolia is also complicated, and during the reign of Ogedei, he did not like the eldest son Guiyu, and wanted to set up the third son Kuo as Khan. It's a pity that Kuo's life didn't last long, he led the army to invade the Song Dynasty, and was picked up by the masters of the state-run camp, so he wanted to set up Kuo's eldest son Liemen as the heir, but he died before he had time to set up an edict.
When Ögedei was dead, and the martyrdom was young, the heart of Delegona was opened, and he wanted to make his son the Khan. Xiangguo Yelu Chucai insisted on fulfilling the last wish of the first Khan, so that the emperor and grandson would lose the martyrdom and become the Khan. How could he be at his mercy with a mastery of his men and a crowd of dead soldiers? He also used the Oduraheman to take over the southern power, and let the Falima pretend to be a ghost in Hara and Lin, and clean up a group of princes and ministers.
In order to create conditions for his son Guiyu to inherit the throne, Tlegona indiscriminately rewarded the clan and ministers in order to gain their support. He also came to the dynasty for five years to control the government. Finally, when Guiyou returned, he held a Khuriltai attended by kings and nobles in Hara and Lin, and elected Guizhen as the heir to the throne according to the rules set by Genghis Khan during his lifetime.
Tregona sent an envoy to summon the kings and nobles to attend the assembly, and the commander of the western expedition, Batu, wanted to rush back to fight for the throne of the Khan, but when he heard that Hara and Lin had already held a conference to promote Guiyou as Khan, he knew that there was no hope of fighting for the throne, so he hesitated to move forward, supported his own army, and established another khanate.
When the whirlwind team encountered this kind of incident, they simply did not leave, and came in disguise as herdsmen to observe the further development of the situation.
Not long after Guiyou came to power, Delegona died. This is great news for the Whirlwind team. Isn't it all because of this Tregona that she has endured all these years of hardship and danger? Now that she is dead, the Mongol warriors, even if they have a new leader, will not be as well-organized as before.
After getting the news, they decided to hurry up and return to Xiaoyao Valley to report to the Great Protector of Nangong.
As they traveled all the way south, they heard that Guiyu was blindly currying favor with the princes and ministers who supported his succession to the throne, causing alienation and contradictions within Mongolia.
After a life and death experience, they finally returned south and returned to the Valley of Escape. For the death of Delegona, the Valley of Freedom celebrated for three days.
However, there is another serious question in front of the Martial Arts Alliance: What should be done with the Ecstasy Sect? Can Yuan Yunshang turn back? If someone persuades Yuan Yunshang to turn back and the Ecstasy Sect reform and return to the right, how should the relationship with the Kuaidaomen be handled? That is the blood feud that killed the master!
