Chapter 290: The Mystery of the Holy Maiden (5)
The chief spoke no more. In an instant, all the black-clad guards jumped up in unison, like a flock of huge crows.
These guards are a special existence among the Huns, they are all prisoners who have committed serious crimes, and after being disfigured, they are dressed in black, and they are specialized in assassination and assassination.
Since the Black Dragon King unified the Huns, he has made every effort to build this secret army, called it
"Jackdaw". These people sent to monitor the blind saint are the elite of the elite, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
Although they had seen Li Yan's shocking skills during the day, they insisted that there was nothing to be afraid of this disabled person.
It's just that it's a little faster and a little stronger, what's so rare? But at this moment, as soon as they got their hands on it, everyone was stunned.
They didn't know: First, Li Yan didn't use all his strength when he fought against the scoundrel. As for the second, Li Yan did not hold a knife at that time.
A knifeman without a knife is no less than a toothless tiger. But as soon as he held the knife in his hand, the tiger woke up.
The tiger roars in the mountains and forests, and all the beasts are terrifying. Li Yan slashed obliquely, and the black-clothed guards where the blade passed were all invincible.
Thanks to their skills, they were able to dodge, but they saw the sword wind rolling backwards, splitting several large poplars several feet tall in two.
People have never seen this kind of knife technique. Just when he was frightened, Li Yan's knife arrived again. He was clearly only one person, but the sword light was falling like heavy snow, making it impossible to avoid.
The leader yelled in embarrassment: "Scratch up!" But when he saw the guard touch his waist, he pulled out a cold and shining hook, and stretched out his hand to throw it at Li Yan.
Li Yan didn't dodge, and dozens of hooks were instantly buckled on him. The leader shouted: "Brothers, tear this silk into pieces for me!"
Everyone was ruthless, turned their backs, and pressed the rope with their shoulders to see if the posture was to break Li's body into pieces.
Li Yan couldn't help but be angry in his heart and said: I have no grievances with you people, so you have to be so ruthless, and you are also vicious!
Thinking of this, he was no longer tolerant, and the knife in his hand turned round, and shouted: Break! The steel hooks immediately fell one after another, and Li Yan's people were nowhere to be seen.
As soon as everyone looked up, they saw that Li Yan jumped into the air at some point, crossed the knife, and struck the ground, everyone suddenly felt a tremor under their feet, and sat on the ground with a shake of their bodies.
Li Yan didn't give them a chance to breathe, his figure shook like a ghost, and a single knife slashed out a cold light.
In a matter of moments, all these dozens of people were counted. The blind saint didn't know what was happening, but she could only hear it, and the wails came and went, and she couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: What is it...... What's going on?
The little maid saw everything, her teeth chattered, and she pointed at Li Yan and said: You ...... Are you a monster?
Li Yan shook off the single knife and returned it to the sheath. Chen Sheng: No. I'm just very good at using knives.
The maid stared at him blankly, and suddenly muttered to herself: Could it be that he was the person at that time? No, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?
But how can their kung fu be so similar...... Of course, Li Yan didn't notice what she said, but looked around and said to the two: This place is dangerous, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time.
Let's go quickly! The blind saint steadied herself and nodded, "Okay, but we can't go back along the river, because the Huns will soon catch up with us."
The safest way for us to do this is to cross the desert, so that we can get rid of most of our pursuers. Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: Girl, how dangerous it is to cross the desert.
Besides, you're a blind man, can you survive it?" the blind saint gritted her teeth. Of course you can, listen, I didn't do it on a whim.
It's that you're planning your escape before you even arrive. Blindness can be a burden for other things, but in the desert it becomes an advantage.
Although I can't see, my sense is much sharper than that of ordinary people. With this advantage, we can escape.
Li Yan thought about it and still shook his head: It's not proper, it's too dangerous. Even if you can discern the direction, the body doesn't allow it.
How many walks can you walk in a day? The Blind Lady said: Of course I don't have to walk myself. With that, she squeezed the maid's hand.
The maid understood, and went into the woods, and in a short time brought a tall camel. If you look closely at this camel before, it is fat and strong, and it is obvious that it has been carefully raised.
Not only were there luggage tents hanging on its hump, but there were also six or seven huge water bladders on both sides. The blind saint asked Li Yan with a little smugness: Can Engong believe what I said now?
Li Yan couldn't help but sigh, and thought to himself: This girl is really extraordinary. It turned out that he had been planning his escape for a long time.
Although he has some disabilities, he is determined and brave in his heart, far better than ordinary men. Li Yan wanted to mention Lu Heng's matter to her, but at this moment, time was pressing, so he pressed the conversation down again.
Three people and a camel walked in the desert. Contrary to what everyone imagined, the desert was scorching hot during the day, like a scorched hell.
At night, it was extremely cold, and by the time of the third watch, it was almost so cold that it was dripping into ice. The blind saint's teeth chattered, and her whole body shrunk into a ball.
When the maid saw her like this, she carefully pulled out a piece of felt from her bag and gently wrapped it for her. Li Yan saw the blind saint take the maid's shoulder, and the two of them huddled together in the felt to keep warm.
He couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, the relationship between these two people didn't seem to be like a young lady and a maid, but more like sisters.
It must be known that the rules of the Xiongnu on slaves were very strict at that time, and the so-called maid had no personality, but was equivalent to a private property of the master.
It can be sold or killed at will, and there is no such thing as brotherhood. After being influenced by this concept for ten years, the originally kind people will become human beings.
However, the two in front of them still maintained a friendly relationship, which couldn't help but make Li Yan feel a little strange. The night is passing and the sun is rising.
The sun casts ten thousand golden rays on the desert, like a golden sea. It wasn't until this moment that the three of them felt a little warmth back on their bodies.
But the camel still walked unhurriedly in great strides. The joy of the cold passing away did not last long before they ushered in a new round of suffering, and the desert began to test them with the most vicious temperatures.
The three of them got hotter and hotter as they walked, and they slowly began to sweat. Less than an hour later, they felt their lips chapped and their thirst for water rose to an unprecedented level.
The blind saint was the weakest and couldn't stand it first. She lay on the hump and gasped: Give me some water.
The maid quickly untied a water bladder. Take a wooden bowl and bring it to the Holy Maiden. The saint drank all the water and said, "Good sister, give me some more drink."
Li Yan thought that the maid would happily agree, but she didn't expect her to shake her head and resolutely say: No.
She sighed and patted the saint on the shoulder: You forget, we calculated this water.
It is enough to support us in escaping the desert without burdening the camels and slowing them down.
Remember, it's not just the two of us now, but also this uncle! The three of us are going to go out of the desert, and we have to save this water to drink.
The blind maiden nodded, mumbled and stopped talking. Li Chuan wondered in his heart, why did this maid seem to be very assertive?
It seems that she does everything. On the contrary, this young lady is like a follower. When he was wondering, Li Yan suddenly felt.
The sand under my feet is not so hot. A layer of dark clouds covers the horizon and obscures the sun, bringing a hint of coolness to the wind.
Li Yan couldn't help but praise loudly: Good wind, good wind. May this cloud not pass all day. The blind saint didn't care, but the maid looked up at the sky, looked down at the sky, and pondered for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed, "It's not good!
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: What's the matter? The maid said in a trembling voice, this is ...... It's not some dark cloud, it's a sandstorm!
Much more can be seen about Sandstorm Li Remnant. He used to be stationed at the edge of the desert when he ran Ping'an City, and he would meet him almost every once in a while.
So he looked at the sky carefully, shook his head, and said, "No, sandstorms are not like this. But there are always signs of sandstorms, first cloudy and then dark winds.
In the end, there will be a sandstorm, how can there be sand on such a good sunny day? I think it is mostly dark clouds.
The maid shook her head in fear: it would be even worse if that were the case. It shows that this sandstorm is not a natural phenomenon, but man-made.
Some terrible killers have come after us. The maid took a deep breath and said in as smooth a tone as possible: Listen, I know this is really hard to understand, but you must believe what I say: I have seen many strange and even unreasonable things.
Some of the bad guys are so powerful that they can manipulate fire, water, and even the stars in the sky, and the lava in the ground can be used by them.
My intuition tells me that this sandstorm is the spell of a powerful human master, and now you are the only one of the three of us who can fight, if you don't find him and get rid of him, we will definitely be trapped here, understand?
There was no need for him to remind him, of course Li Yan also planned to do so, but he wondered, why did this little maid have so much knowledge?
However, now is indeed not the time for small talk, Li Yan said to him: Okay. Little girl, then you have to take care of the saint, and I will go and go back.
The maid was puzzled: You ...... Aren't you afraid? Li Yan grinned: What is there to be afraid of, it's just a trivial matter.
Say, I walked up against the wind and sand. The maid looked at his back and muttered: Why is this man as bold as him?
Could it be a coincidence? Then the saint said softly, "What's the matter?" I think of that person again? The maid sighed, I don't know why, I always feel strange in my heart.
Well, maybe the escape strained my nerves too much...... said that the more Li Yan walked forward, the more he found that things were really wrong.
Instead of approaching them, the wind and sand acted like a wall, blocking their path and enclosing the three of them in a small area.
Li Yan walked to the edge of the wind and sand, put his hand in and touched it. The sand and gravel struck him violently, causing him to feel pain.
However, if you don't move forward. He never knew where the way out was, so Li Yan took a deep breath and rushed into the wind and sand.
Suddenly, it was dark and there was no light. I can't open my eyes for financial management, so I can only move forward step by step by feeling.
Fortunately, he has lived near the desert for many years and is very familiar with the climate here. If you change to someone else, I am afraid that you will not be able to walk three steps, and it will be difficult to distinguish between southeast and northwest.
Li Yan couldn't help but panic in his heart, in such weather, he would only walk a few miles forward at most, and he would not be able to do anything if he was farther.
When I think about this, I can't help but feel a little flustered. But if this sandstorm is man-made, how much mana does it take to mobilize the wind and sand in the entire desert?
Even the Great Luo Immortal couldn't do it. In other words, the caster made the spell extremely terrifying, but the scope was not very large.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to let the three of them be buried in the sea of sand, why do he have to do any tricks like painting the wall?
As the so-called violent cannot last, this is always the case in the world. Thinking about it like this, Li Yan had a bottom in his heart.
He took a step and walked forward steadily, and sure enough, within two or three hundred steps, the wind and sand stopped abruptly, and the desert was quiet, and there were still endless and identical sand dunes in front of him.
The moment he walked out of the wind and sand, the sand wall behind him suddenly collapsed. In an instant, the wind subsided, and everything returned to normal.
Li Yan looked back, but saw that the saint and the maid were a few hundred steps away, leaning on the side of the camel. The desert has a wide field of vision, and you can often see the scene inside and outside.
Li Yan waved his hand at the two of them and shouted loudly: Hey, come here! The voice came out far away, but I don't know if the two people heard it.
Li Yan saw that the maid also waved her hand vigorously, as if to say something, but the distance between them was too far, so Li Yan turned back again.
But it didn't matter if he had just taken this step, as if he had triggered some mechanism, a sharp pillar of sand flew out of the ground and stabbed him straight into the chest.
This time it came down quickly and quickly, Li Yan didn't have time to draw the knife, so he could only desperately flash to the side. The sand cone was extremely fast and powerful, and it suddenly stabbed Li Yan's shoulder with blood.
Li Yan took a few steps back, but he didn't expect that another sand cone immediately surged out from under his feet, and it flew straight towards him.
Li Yan was shocked, and stretched out his hand to pull out a single knife and look at the sand cone and shoot it. The sand cone touched the blade of the knife, shattered abruptly, and returned to the sand.
Li Yan was on guard, but he didn't see a new sand cone piercing at him. He suddenly realized that unlike just now, this time he didn't move his steps.
Whatever the principle, it seems that the two things are connected: as long as you move, there will be a sand cone shooting out to hurt people.
Li Yan suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said. The direction of the saint and the maid. Shouting loudly: Don't come, go back!
However, the bad thing is that the two of them also seemed to see that something was going on here, but they couldn't hear what Li Yan was shouting at all, so they urged the camel to come to him.
A wave of despair suddenly surged in Li Yan's heart. Tips: Enter "Panda Literature" in the search engine, you can find this site, thank you.
