Chapter 9: The Black Wind Desert
At the west gate of Nanlong City, a huge caravan of more than 1,000 people is ready to go. The whole procession stretched from the west gate of Nanlong City to a few miles outside the city.
In the caravan, there were a single horn born from the head, with long scale armor, but the overall appearance was somewhat similar to that of a horse, but there were huge beast carts pulled by giant beasts several feet long, end to end, and extended. Each of the beast carts was loaded with cargo, and there were two coachmen driving it in the front.
The whole convoy seemed to have built a solid wall in the wasteland outside the city, and on either side of the convoy were sturdy men riding horses under their crotches and mating with foreign beasts to form alien mounts, all wearing armor and weapons at their waists.
In addition to these people, at intervals, there is also an innate martial artist riding a strange beast under his crotch, and the instrument is magnificent. Innate martial artists already have the ability to get rid of low-level demon beasts, so these innate martial artists also like to submit a demon beast as a mount, and the more powerful the surrendered demon beast, the more it shows their strength.
On the cars of this caravan, there is a pole apricot yellow flag, and the words "Dade Tong" are written on it.
This caravan belonged to the Dade Tong Merchant and was going to set off from Nanlongcheng to Donglincheng.
Li Hui was at the back of the entire team at this time, sitting in a luxurious carriage that was extremely wide and driven by the four beasts.
The Sword Sect's group, as well as the three other foundation building monks they found, were all separated from each other in various positions of the caravan in order to respond to each other, while Li Hui was in the same car as Qiao Tianqi for personal protection.
Lin Yang rode a strange beast with a leopard head and a horse body like a charcoal body, accompanied by the Qing Ying Sword at his waist to guard not far from Qiao Tianqi's carriage.
This fire leopard has the most tyrannical temperament, owned by the guards of the Dade Tong Deal, and no one has been able to surrender, but today it was suppressed by a teenager who looked like he was only in his teens, and he obediently became a crotch mount, and for a while, no one dared to underestimate Lin Yang.
The carriage was unusually large, with three small beds, and in the middle was a wooden table, on which there were a few drinks and snacks, Qiao Tianqi, Li Hui and the Mai man Uncle Shi were sitting around, looking out through the window and chatting.
At this time, the convoy had already started, but it was moving very slowly, like a giant python winding out of Nanlong City, with smoke and dust billowing on both sides.
"Immortal Master Li, I didn't expect the Venerable Disciple to have such a superb swordsmanship, it's really surprising. Qiao Tianqi watched?? Looking out the car window, Lin Yang, who was riding on the fire leopard and was slightly immature, sighed towards Li Hui.
At the beginning, there were many innate martial artists in this Great Virtue Tong caravan who sneered at a young qi refiner like Lin Yang, but when they were defeated by Lin Yang with the purest swordsmanship, they were convinced one by one.
As a child of a big family, although Qiao Tianqi has no spiritual roots, he has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his commonly used weapon is also a sword. For a while, Li Hui's master and apprentice were even more impressed.
Li Hui smiled indifferently: "It's just a little superficial swordsmanship, in the past, I traveled all over the world, and I got some swordsmanship books, which is convenient for my own Dao art fusion and formation of a new sword technique, which can also be of some help when my cultivation is low." ”
Li Hui did not tell the truth, but he also revealed some information.
Qiao Tianqi nodded again and again, then his face moved, and he asked seriously: "The younger generation has also practiced martial arts since childhood, and has also studied this swordsmanship, but it is limited to talent and cannot reach the realm of the venerable apprentice. ”
Uncle Shi, the sackclothed man on the side, frowned slightly, obviously understanding what Qiao Tianqi's reluctant invitation meant.
Li Hui's heart moved, and he also guessed a few points, and said quietly: "Son, please speak." ”
Seeing that Li Hui didn't refuse, Qiao Tianqi's face showed a little joy, and he hurriedly said: "Actually, I want to ask my seniors about some things about swordsmanship cultivation, but I don't know if it's convenient?"
People who practice martial arts pay attention to the difference between the portals, and it is easy to commit taboos when they ask others for some things about martial arts cultivation.
Li Hui sighed slightly: "The swordsmanship I have learned, although it is occasionally obtained, but I also inherit the Taoist inheritance of the original swordsmanship master, so if I am not a disciple of my sect, this swordsmanship is naturally not to be passed on lightly, but if the son is just asking for some doubts about swordsmanship cultivation, I can say some of my own swordsmanship experience." ”
"Hmph, if Childe wants to learn swords, I don't know how many classics and experiences left by famous kendo masters in our Qiao family's arsenal, so why bother to learn from outsiders. ”
At this time, Uncle Shi, the man in sackcloth on the side, snorted coldly.
Uncle Shi is an innate martial artist, and he is close to this Qiao Tianqi, obviously his status in the Qiao family is not low. At this time, seeing Qiao Tianqi being so respectful to a temporarily recruited monk, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Li Hui didn't care when he heard this, smiled indifferently, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Qiao Tianqi's face changed slightly, but then he was calm as usual, glanced at the man in sackcloth and said, "It's always good to learn from others" and said to Li Hui, "Tianqi is willing to hear the immortal master to teach you." ”
The sackclothed man's face changed several times, but he finally endured it. Although his status in the Qiao family is not low, and he was called uncle by Qiao Tianqi, he is only a guest after all, although he has the grace of teaching Qiao Tianqi, he can't influence anything. Since Qiao Tianqi insisted on asking this monk who appeared out of nowhere, he had no choice but to let him.
In the heart of this Mai man, he actually looked down on Li Hui's cultivation in the martial arts, and he always felt that these qi refiners were just stupidly throwing spiritual weapons around, what skills could they have. At this time, I made up my mind to hear what this hairless Taoist priest could say.
Li Hui could also see that the man in sackcloth was thinking a little, but he didn't care in the slightest. Then he began to talk to Qiao Tianqi about some of his swordsmanship cultivation experiences.
At first, the man in sackcloth showed a little disdain on his face, but gradually he was attracted by Li Hui's insights in swordsmanship, and he couldn't help but indulge in it.
And Qiao Tianqi also listened fascinatedly, feeling that a new door had opened in front of him.
For two days in a row, Li Hui stayed with Qiao Tianqi and told him some tips on sword practice.
The whole caravan was driven by the strength of the foreign beasts, and it was extremely fast, and it was able to travel six hundred miles in one day.
The horses in the world, the top ones have the so-called thousand-mile horses, and they travel thousands of miles in a day, but that is also an exaggeration, and besides, it is a single ride. And now these strange beasts of the Dade Tong caravan are pulling a huge beast cart on the way, and the whole team can reach such a fast speed, which is enough to see the foot strength of these strange beasts.
On the fourth day, the team entered a small city called the Western Barrier to rest, and on the fifth day continued its march.
"Immortal Master Li, if nothing else, by this evening, we will be close to the edge of the Black Wind Desert, this place is too weird, so we will camp outside this desert for one night at night, and then enter this desert tomorrow. Inside the carriage, Qiao Tianqi said to Li Hui with some concern.
Li Hui looked through the car window and saw that the team was crossing a mountain range at this time, taking a steep road carved out in the mountains, and the huge beast cart was just able to pass through.
The warriors of the Qiao family and several innate warriors had already flown up the high mountains on both sides to explore, so as to prevent the enemy from ambushing on the mountain ridge to attack.
Li Hui's divine sense swept out and checked, but he didn't find anything abnormal, so he was relieved. Eyes retracted from the car window, closed eyes and refreshed. I also have some expectations for the black wind desert in my heart.
After crossing the high mountain, the team crossed a forest and crossed a large river. After that, the terrain gradually became gentle, but dry and inhospitable.
There was a wind blowing, but there was not the slightest poetic feeling, like a reckless man rushing towards him with gravel and wild sand, and under such wind and sand, the speed of the whole team began to slow down.
Li Hui, who was sitting in the carriage, secretly swept out his divine sense, and found that the more he went to the front, the more the wind and sand became bigger, and further on, there was no end in sight.
The team advanced against the wind and sand, and the speed became slower and slower, and at dusk, the whole team came to a complete stop.
"Tell the childe, you have reached the edge of the Black Wind Desert. ”
A man's voice came from outside the carriage, which was blown a little intermittently by the wind and sand.
The order went down, and the team stopped advancing, camped in place, and guarded it until tomorrow when it entered the desert. Inside the carriage, Qiao Tianqi ordered.
The man outside said yes and turned to leave.
Qiao Tianqi turned to Li Hui and said, "Immortal Master, we have reached the edge of the Black Wind Desert, we must rest here for the night today, it is really unfavorable to enter this desert at night." ”
Li Hui nodded: "Okay, let's go down and have a look." ”
Qiao Tianqi and Uncle Shi, the man in sackcloth, took the lead in lifting the car door and walked down, and Li Hui followed closely behind.
As soon as he opened the door, the howling wind flew into the carriage with a gust of sand and gravel, and after Li Hui stepped out of the carriage, he immediately felt like he had been scratched by a knife in his face.
Fortunately, the entire caravan was driven by well-trained beasts, and those guys and samurai were not ordinary people, so they were still able to move in such a harsh environment.
The team soon formed a large circle from end to end, using the large beast carts as a barrier to make a makeshift camp. The camp is divided into two levels, and important goods are placed in the inner ring. The warriors and monks were separated and stationed in various places.
Looking at this orderly team, Li Hui nodded secretly in his heart.
Outside the camp, more than ten miles away against the wind, there is a black desert that cannot be seen as far as the edge can be, and the sand in the desert is brown, so the wind blows and forms a black wind, which is the black wind desert.
Li Hui's divine consciousness swept towards the black wind desert, but after entering the land for more than ten miles, his divine consciousness was crushed by the black wind and could not move forward.
However, it also made him find some problems, and the aura of heaven and earth here was extremely riotous, and in the depths of the desert, the wind was extremely chaotic, and there was no law at all.
He had also encountered this situation before, and that was when he encountered that spatial crack in the Xiazhou Loujia Alien Beast Valley!
