Chapter Twenty-Eight: Devouring Quicksand
Xingyan continued to go deeper, the land that was originally all rocks gradually turned sandy, and the huge rocks became more and more fragmented along the way, probably in an excessive area, Xingyan saw a large-scale town in the distance, which should be a gathering place for a certain clan.
Xingyan approached, and the number of people also increased, and according to the characteristics, Xingyan guessed that it should be the Steppenwolf Clan.
It is worthy of being the representative race of the nine-layer wasteland, and the scale of this city is really comparable to the Lingmao Mansion on Lingmao Mountain, but I don't know how to inquire about Long Zixuan's whereabouts from such a big place.
When Xingyan entered the town, most of the houses here were in the style of thick walls and small windows, which was different from the buildings Xingyan had seen elsewhere.
Just as Xingyan wanted to casually grab someone on the street to inquire, he saw a person not far away looking at him, Xingyan looked around and found that he was not the only one who looked at him, and many people looked at him with surprise on their faces when they passed by, Xingyan was inexplicably puzzled.
"Hey!" The middle-aged woman in the distance saw Xingyan find herself, and took the initiative to step forward and say hello to Xingyan, "Are you Miss Shen Xingyan Shen?"
Does she know me?Xingyan nodded.
The middle-aged woman's face showed a look of surprise, "It's really good, you are exactly the same as the young man described." β
That young man? Could it be Long Zixuan? Xingyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know where he went?"
"I only know that he has been looking for you, I really don't know where he went, you can go and ask the team leader's daughter, come with me!" The middle-aged woman took Xing Yan's hand enthusiastically, "What is the relationship between Miss Shen and that young man?" That young man seems to care about you. β
"Yes. Xingyan pouted, "Didn't you notice that this guy doesn't know where to go when he sees a beautiful girl's eyes?"
"Is there one?" said the middle-aged woman smiled.
"Yes!" Xing Yan nodded angrily, "When he sees a beautiful woman, he goes up to tease, and he can't wait to stick it to someone!"
The woman's smile became more and more meaningful, Xingyan noticed the woman's smile, and Li Ke understood where she was thinking, and hurriedly waved her hand to explain: "But this has nothing to do with me, we are just ordinary friends." β
"Yes, but I don't think he stuck to our little princess. β
The patriarch's daughter, Xingyan's heart moved, and she raised her head as if she had some prompt, and looked at a girl.
This girl has straight satin hair, delicate face, big eyes, beautiful like a doll, very cute from a distance, even Xingyan feels like her heart has been hit, and she is beginning to feel ashamed of herself, is this ......
"This is the daughter of our patriarch, so I sent the girl here. The middle-aged woman saluted and turned to leave.
The girl also noticed Xingyan, although Xingyan was a little gray at the moment, without exquisite makeup, and her clothes were messy, but Xingyan's bright eyes seemed to be smiling, which contained three points of naughtiness, three points of charm, and four points of bright eyes made her heart rise a kind of jealousy, the girl knew at the first glance that he was the person her brother Zixuan was looking for, originally she was eager to see this person who made Brother Zixuan's thoughts, although Brother Zixuan said that they were just ordinary friends, she saw them now, and she didn't want Long Zixuan to find Xingyanγ
Xing Yan clearly sensed the other party's hostility with her keen perception, although she didn't know where this hostility came from, despite this, Xing Yan still stepped forward very politely and greeted: "Hello, my name is Shen Xingyan." β
"My name is Haru Wasteland. Wasteland replied lightly.
"I want to ask, was there a person named Long Zixuan looking for me before?" Xing Yan didn't know where to provoke the other party, after all, in someone else's territory, Xing Yan was no longer as reckless as before, but asked cautiously.
She deliberately mentioned this stubble, is she deliberately showing off to me that Brother Zixuan cares about her? Xingyan's inquiry made Wasteland Qing secretly unhappy, she touched a strand of hair on her chest as if she was listening, and it took a long time before she replied lazily: "You mean Brother Zixuan......"
Hearing Brother Zixuan, the corners of Xing Yan's mouth twitched, and he also said that this guy didn't mess with flowers and grass everywhere, and he called him brother, so what step did this relationship have to go to.
"Brother Zixuan was looking for you before, but he lived very comfortably on my side, as if he had almost forgotten about this stubble, is there anything wrong with you?"
Have you forgotten? Xingyan felt a little lost in her heart, this wasteland in front of her seemed to have a good relationship with Long Zixuan, she probably hated herself so much because she had hurt Long Zixuan for so long, no wonder, it was her own fault......
Although he didn't feel good in his heart, Xing Yan continued to ask, "Does that girl know where he went?"
"Where have you been?" Wasteland Qing leaned against the wall and thought for a long time before he said unhurriedly, "I guess it's going to devour the desert." β
"Devouring the Desert?"
"Oh, devouring the desert, just leaving our area and moving on, there is a big desert, and I think he seems to be going there. β
Devouring the Desert?Xingyan thought about it carefully, and finally recalled that the ancient books recorded that the Devouring Desert was the most dangerous area in the second layer of the Nine-Layer Wasteland, where is the Devouring Quicksand, also known as the Desert Killer, as long as it is swallowed by the quicksand, people with low internal strength will instantly turn into white bones, but what is Long Zixuan doing there?
Xing Yan asked Wasteland Qing with some doubts: "Are you sure you saw it right?" Long Zixuan shouldn't go to such a dangerous place if it's fine." β
She was so smart, she noticed something wrong so quickly, Wasteland Qing was scared into a cold sweat, and she had to be sent away quickly, Wasteland Qing originally planned to trick Xingyan into devouring the desert and let Xingyan disappear into the desert, if Xingyan was to be aware, it would be troublesome.
"I, how do I know. β
In fact, Xing Yan had already sensed that something was wrong, and she asked again: "I heard your brother Zixuan call very affectionately, he didn't even tell you why, is your relationship really good?"
Xingyan's words caused Wasteland Qing to be a little annoyed, and she put down a sentence, "Do you like to go." He turned and entered the house and slammed the door shut.
Although the credibility of Wasteland Qing's words is not high, what if Long Zixuan is really there? Xing Yan did not hesitate, turned around and walked in the direction of Devouring Desert.
Wasteland Qing has been observing Xingyan's actions with the crack in the door open, and when she saw Xingyan walking in the direction of Devouring Desert, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and sure enough, she still had Brother Zixuan in her heart, hmph, die inside.
The more Xingyan walked, the more broken the sand became, sometimes one foot or even half a foot would sink into it, devouring the interior of the desert, the sand had changed from ordinary sand to quicksand, Xingyan bent down and tried to grab a handful, but these sands were like water flowing between his fingers, and he couldn't catch them at all, if it weren't for Xingyan's reasonable use of the principles of junior high school physics, the internal force would be spread out and condensed on the soles of his feet, and walking would be like walking on a wooden plank, Xingyan was afraid that he would have been buried under the sand now.
As a progressive intellectual, this is not a matter at all, Xing Yan felt proud in his heart.
But this pride lasted for a while, and Xingyan noticed that the sand under his feet was changing.
The quicksand was spinning in one direction, and soon it formed a whirlpool, and the strong suction made Xingyan a little unstable, oh no, this may be the swallowing quicksand!
