Chapter 10: The Red Spotted Lizard

The whole team set up camp on the edge of the desert, and everything was in order, until the next day, when it was dawn, when they were ready to set out again.

When he arrived here, Li Hui also became more cautious, and secretly gave orders to Liu Piaoxu and others to pay more attention, although with their cultivation, the desert wind and sand could not be helped, but Li Hui always faintly felt that there would be some accidents.

When entering the desert, the formation of the entire caravan also changed. In the past, the procession was long and fast, but now it was shrinking, protecting some important goods in the middle, while the warriors and monks were guarding the periphery, slowly entering the desert. Li Hui is still with Qiao Tianqi, responsible for protecting the safety of this Dade Tong young owner. Liu Piaoxu and others were also sent to the periphery.

In the past few days, Qiao Tianqi has taken the opportunity to constantly ask Li Hui about some confusion in swordsmanship cultivation, and Li Hui is not stingy, and he has made a lot of suggestions.

Li Hui found that this Qiao Gongzi still had some talent in swordsmanship, but unfortunately he didn't have a spiritual root and couldn't cultivate the truth, and his future achievements would be nothing more than a top innate martial arts swordsman at most. Uncle Shi, the man in sackcloth, has also benefited a lot from listening to Li Hui talk about swords in the past few days. He was originally a swordsman, but swords have a lot in common, after listening to Li Hui's explanation, many doubts in the past were suddenly opened, and there were faint signs of breakthrough in the knife technique.

The team slowly entered the black wind desert, and soon disappeared into the black wind in the sky.

After entering the Black Wind Desert, the wind and sand became more and more violent, and the team shrank further and marched with difficulty.

Li Hui sat in the solid carriage, his consciousness outwardly monitoring the movements around him.

When he arrived here, Qiao Tianqi was also a little nervous, although his face was as usual, he became silent, and from time to time he lifted the window to look outside, and no longer asked Li Hui about his kendo practice.

"This black wind desert, the two hundred miles at the edge of this end is extremely windy and sandy, like a barrier to separate it from the outside world, but once it passes through these two hundred miles, it is relatively stable, but there will be some other problems. Uncle Shi, who had been talking little, suddenly spoke.

Qiao Tianqi nodded when he heard this, his face was a little calmer.

Li Hui's heart moved, it seemed that this Qiao Gongzi also seemed to be walking this black wind desert for the first time. Come to think of it, the son of a family like him is still young, so there is no need to take risks in person. I don't know why I personally crossed this desert this time, but this is not within the scope of his duties, so Li Hui naturally didn't bother to ask.

On weekdays, the caravan beasts that traveled 600 miles a day only walked more than 100 miles in this windy sand.

At night, the team was still moving forward in this windy area, and Qiao Tianqi originally wanted to let the team stop and rest, but was persuaded by Uncle Shi, the man in sackcloth.

It's good to keep moving forward in the desert sand, but if you do stop, it's very likely that the night will pass, and the whole caravan will be buried under the dunes.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that the team finally passed through the wind-blown sandy terrain on the outskirts of the desert.

I saw a red sun rising from the brown desert sky, and the scene was spectacular.

Even if the drivers are all domesticated beasts, and the drivers are all warriors with unique skills, it is a little unbearable to trek for a day and a night in the wind and sand of this desert.

This is where the team rests for the day and then moves on.

The rest of the journey was relatively easy, except that there were often some inexplicable tornadoes blowing in the desert, and whenever such tornadoes passed, the team was careful to avoid them.

These tornadoes come suddenly, sometimes without warning, and are so large that they are almost impossible for human beings to resist, and once they are caught in them, they are immediately gone.

When those tornadoes disappeared, the people or goods involved in them also disappeared completely, and it seemed that they had never appeared in this world.

The people of Shangzhou believed that this tornado was the passage to the underworld that had been opened, and the demons had come to take away the living creatures through here.

Fortunately, there is still a pattern to the appearance of tornadoes, which are generally concentrated in a fixed few areas, as long as you carefully avoid them, it is relatively safe.

But things are not absolute, although the path Li Hui and the others chose far avoided those chaotic areas, they still encountered a tornado that suddenly appeared, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat when the entire team passed.

Even Li Hui was no exception, or rather, he was especially frightened.

Because the worldly people and the low-ranking monks could not see the nature of this tornado, he understood through his divine sense how it was formed.

It's clearly a spatial crack!

The space here seems to be extremely fragile, occasionally the space will shatter, and a spatial crack will appear, and then the huge suction force of the spatial crack will roll up the sand and stones, forming a tornado.

This kind of tornado, not to mention mortals, even if the Jindan monk enters it, he can't resist it, and whether the Yuanying monk can retreat when he enters it is still two words.

Li Hui couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart, guessing what had happened in this Black Wind Desert, and the space would be so chaotic.

It is very likely that there was a great war here, causing the space here to collapse and collapse, and even after countless years, there will still be space fragmentation. If this is the case, then what level of great war must it be to be so powerful.

In the past few days, the team walked in the desert, and Li Hui gradually saw the ability of the sackcloth man, Uncle Shi.

Uncle Shi's original name was Shi Potian, and he had been in Qiao's house for more than 20 years.

Along the way, Shi Potian was directing the team forward, sometimes for several days without stopping, and sometimes in a big circle. No one in the entire team dared to doubt Shi Potian's meaning. And indeed under Shi Potian's command, the team almost did not encounter any danger.

Only after walking this black wind desert I don't know how many times, with countless times of blood and sweat in exchange for valuable experience, can we make such a judgment.

Along the way, he also encountered several lone demon beasts attacking the caravan, which also opened Li Hui's eyes and understood how these secular warriors dealt with demon beasts.

Almost a few third-rank martial artists joined forces to kill a low-level demon beast equivalent to the Qi refining period. For slightly more powerful demon beasts, as long as there is an innate martial artist, they can do it.

There was no danger along the way, and the sharpness and efficiency of these warriors made Li Hui a little impressed. Lin Yang also followed these warriors several times, which made these warriors equally impressed.

On the fifteenth day of entering the Black Wind Desert, the team had traveled thousands of miles and completely penetrated into the hinterland of the desert. In half the time, you can get out of the desert.

Li Hui noticed that in the past few days, Qiao Tianqi and Na Shi Potian's faces had become more and more solemn, as if they had been waiting for some calamity to come.

And along the way, under the command of Shi Potian, the team still had no accidents. The more this happened, the more worried the two became.

On this day, the convoy that was moving suddenly stopped. Li Hui, who had been closing his eyes to recuperate, moved slightly, opened his eyes, and his eyes were a little complicated.

And Shi Potian and Qiao Tianqi shook their bodies almost at the same time, and they immediately became alert.

"What's going on?" Shi Potian asked in a deep voice.

Soon, someone outside the carriage replied: "Tell Gongzi and Shi Lao, a group of red lizards have appeared in front of us, and they are coming towards our caravan." ”

Shi Potian's face sank slightly: "How many red spotted lizards are there?"

"I can't see clearly, it seems to be hundreds of heads. ”

Shi Potian and Qiao Tianqi glanced at each other, and their faces suddenly sank.

"The team stops advancing, everyone is ready for battle, order all the innate martial artists to prepare to attack, and the Dadetong Iron Armor guards the goods!" Shi Potian ordered with a loud shout.

The people outside heard the sound of Shi Potian, knew that the matter was urgent, and did not dare to slack off, so they promised to give the order immediately.

Li Hui sat in the carriage, his brows furrowed slightly. He had already discovered the existence of this group of red spotted lizards through his divine sense, and to his surprise, these red spotted lizards seemed to have been driven by humans!

After Shi Potian issued a series of orders, he still felt a little apprehensive, and turned his head to Qiao Tianqi and said, "It stands to reason that it is nothing for some demon beasts to appear in this black wind desert, but these red spotted lizards are a little strange. The route we chose was a relatively safe road summed up by countless walks of the caravan, and even if there were monsters, most of them passed by accidentally, and it always seemed a little abnormal on such a large scale. ”

"Uncle Shi, do you suspect that someone is doing something behind your back?" Qiao Tianqi said with a solemn face.

"It's just a suspicion for the time being, after all, we have already walked most of the distance in this desert, and at this time we are deep in the hinterland, if we want to start, it is best in this black wind desert, if we leave the black wind desert, it will not be so easy, so it must be in these few days to start, and the son is still ready." Shi Potian said solemnly.

Li Hui's heart moved, he suspected that these red spotted lizards were driven by someone because he had observed through his divine sense that these beasts were coming all the way towards the caravan from a very far place, which was not like the instinct of demon beasts. You must know that such a huge team as Dade Tong Firm, even the demon beasts under the spiritual wisdom have a little bit of avoidance. And this stone can also be judged, this is relying on wisdom and experience.

"Uncle Shi, what should we do at this moment?" Qiao Tianqi asked.

"Let a few immortal masters prepare, and at the same time, let those qi refiners who are supported by our Great Detong prepare to form a formation for protection. Shi Potian said without hesitation.

"Okay!" Qiao Tianqi trusted Shi Potian very much, and immediately agreed, turned to Li Hui and said, "Now that I have some trouble, there is an Immortal Master, Uncle Shi, you go and inform the other Immortal Masters." ”

Li Hui nodded: "It's a matter of my own." ”

With that, the three of them left the carriage together.

After getting out of the car, the stone breaking figure spread, like a huge falcon, flying towards the front of the team. Soon, the hired foundation monks in the carriages of the whole procession also got off the train.

Liu Piaoxu and the others were distributed everywhere, and they all saw Li Hui at this time, and communicated with each other's divine senses.

Li Hui explained and asked them to remain calm, just pretend to be an ordinary foundation building monk to act. And they did as they were told.

Then Li Hui and Qiao Tianqi ran towards the front of the team together. A moment later, they were at the front of the line.

The old man in linen, Shi Potian, was holding a black wide-backed battle knife, and there were mysterious runes engraved on the back of the knife, with seven grooves inlaid with spirit stones, and at this time, there were seven medium-grade spirit stones inlaid on it!

Li Hui's gaze swept over the Shi Potian battle knife, and at a glance he could see that the grade of this knife had reached the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon, and it was driven by seven medium-grade spirit stones, which was enough to make this knife burst out with the power in the hands of the foundation building monk.

Shi Potian was surrounded by several young warriors wearing thin iron armor, all with solemn faces, holding a unified standard war sword in their hands, this was the Qiao family's iron armor guard.

And the other directions are the same, led by the innate martial artist and some other low-level martial artists, closely defending all directions. The foundation-building monks sat in all directions.

Li Hui followed Shi Potian's eyes, and saw that the brown desert in front of him was constantly surging like a tide, rushing towards the direction of the caravan, and if he looked closely, he could see that it was a monitor lizard with red spots on its head.

These monitor lizards are a long body and there are hundreds of them, and they seem to be coming in a steady stream.
