Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 25 The Yellow Spring is in front, and the Yellow Sparrow is behind
Just when Su Su and Xiang Bei carefully felt what this looming danger was, a burst of yellow sand suddenly rose in the sky, and there was a neighing movement from the direction of the yellow sand.
Perhaps noticing the movement of the team, the sandbags that had been puffed up were like popped balloons, slowly collapsing again, and the whole sand dunes were calm as if nothing had happened.
"It's a ringing horse, don't panic!"
Jebecuo calmed the dart masters who showed their weapons, he had been in the desert for most of his life, and he thought that he could still cope with a mere team of horses.
Like those lizards and poisonous snakes that survive in the desert, the horses are adept at hiding, attacking and hunting. But it is still unacceptable that this team of people and horses are following the sheep's horn sandstorm. Although this is the easiest time to start with the target, at the same time, Hibiki himself is taking a lot of risks.
The motto of the outlaw is to seek wealth and danger.
It's just that they, like Jebecuo, don't aim to fight for their lives. When the horse team rushed to the front of the camel caravan, although the sword and sword shadow, it did not meet each other in short combat, but surrounded the camel team in the middle, constantly running in circles, and the dust raised seemed to set off a gust of sand, and in the wind and sand, the encirclement of the horse team around the camel team was compressed smaller and smaller.
Jebetso understood that this was a common trick of the horses, and wanted to put enough pressure on the caravan first.
Jebe's men and horses were not less than this team of horses, but he still stopped the intention of the dart masters, the dart masters were just to earn a bowl of food, but these horses were licking blood from the knife edge, so the number of people did not represent the real strength of the two sides.
"Which one is the housekeeper, our camel team is taking the road to disturb, please bear with me. As he spoke, Jebecuo took out a few ingots of silver from the leather pocket on his chest, held them in the palm of his hand, and handed them to the team of ringing horses.
Ringing Horse ignored it, but continued to spin and run around the caravan, until one of the camels was frightened by the horse's running, and almost broke free from the dart master who was holding him, and the horse team finally stopped.
A rider with a black turban wrapped around his head slowly stepped out of the team, and the tall horse under his crotch kept snorting, as if he was as proud as his master.
"It seems that the head of the house is also a person who understands, we all eat God's food, and we can't live or die with you, since you have a heart...... " said, the black turban waved to the horse team behind him, and the two ringing horses walked out of the team, and the black turban casually pointed to the two camels in the camel team, "These two feet are used by the brothers, let's say goodbye!"
The two young ringers immediately went up and snatched the reins of the camel from the master's hand.
"In that case, that's easy to say. Jebecuo's eyes stopped the dart master who wanted to resist again, and just arched his hand, "Please allow our people to unload the goods brought to the guests." As he spoke, he wanted to instruct the dart masters to unload the goods from the camels.
"I just said that the person in charge is a person who understands. The black turban was visibly displeased, and immediately the bows and arrows of several of the archers in the horses behind him were aimed at Jebetso and the two camels, respectively.
Jebecuo was not alarmed, "Brothers, but you have just embarked on this business? Cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths, we darts and mountain sittings are almost holding the same rice bowl, you can't go empty, we can't lose customers' things." ”
As he spoke, Jebecuo asked for a few taels of silver from a dart master beside him, and held them together with both hands, "Brothers, if there is a drought, we can discuss more kilns." ”
The black turban obviously didn't want to talk nonsense, so he pulled out his saber with a bang, and the crowd of horses behind him also waved the saber in their hands one after another.
Although he was dissatisfied, he still suppressed the anger in his heart, and smiled on his face, "Our camel team has also traveled a lot on this road, and in the future, it will be common with the brothers, can you give me a thin noodle ......?"
"Oh, I can't imagine that there are still people who want to eat with their cheeks these days?"
The black turban suddenly turned around and laughed at the horses behind him, and the crowd of horses suddenly laughed and leaned back together, such an arrogant bullying, finally made Jebel cuo a little uncomfortable, he stood in front of the camel targeted by the horses, and at the same time his fingers secretly shook a gesture, and the hands of Jebecuo's dart masters holding knives couldn't help but add a little more strength.
The move was imminent, Xiang Bei, who was hiding in the middle of the camel caravan, approached Su Su's ear and gently advised, "The camel team saved Tianmo's life, we can't let Xiangma bully Jebel, and if they are allowed to slaughter the camel team, they will not let us go." ”
"Well, I listen to you. Su Su was already holding a bow in his hand, and Su Su was reluctant to use a few white feather arrows to deal with these ringing horses that were close at hand, but straddled the quiver box left behind by Wo Beitai.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first. ”
"Understand, as long as I shoot that black turban away, the other ringing horses will not be afraid. ”
"No, Susu, if you really want to do it, you can just shoot down the yellow jacket at the back of that team. ”
"Why?"
"The leader of this group of ringing horses is not a black turban, but the yellow coat. ”
Although Xiang Bei didn't notice the crisis under the dunes, after this group of ringing horses appeared, he had been carefully observing. The Hibiki horses are well-trained and not blindly rampage, and their formation when charging is stable and effective.
In fact, the position of each ringing horse in the formation is constantly changing, presumably this is also a design to confuse the enemy, but the position of three people has been stable throughout the whole process, in the opposite middle of the team, and the yellow jacket that was sandwiched in the middle, although the head and face were wrapped in a turban, only two eyes were exposed, but the eyes were sharp, and when the black turban walked out of the team to speak, Xiang Bei saw the yellow turban and issued a code to the black turban.
Now when the confrontation, the yellow coat quietly retreated to the back of the team, and the two horses next to him always followed closely to protect each other, obviously, the middle of the team was safer when charging, and the back of the team was more conducive to command during the confrontation.
Xiang Bei pointed out to Su Su the ringing horse leader hidden in the team, but he frowned even more, thoughtful.
The camel team and the horses finally disagreed, and they started to move, Jebecuo took the lead, pulled out the machete behind his back and met the black turban, and the rest of the horses and dart masters also found their opponents and fought together.
Although the number of camel teams is superior, except for the guides, those who don't know martial arts, those who don't know martial arts, and there are not many martial artists who really fight the enemy, and soon, in the screams one after another, the dart masters of the camel team fell off their horses one after another.
After a few moves, he was slashed on the shoulder by the black turban, and the blood instantly stained half of his sleeve.
Until this moment, the person who had been blocking between Su Su and the yellow coat finally gave way to the gap, and Xiang Bei greeted,
"Susu, do it. ”
Whoosh, an arrow in the middle of the caravan came out and went straight to the yellow coat that was hiding at the end of the line and had not made a move.
When he opened his bow and released his arrows, Su Su never missed, but this time, Su Su's arrow missed.
Although the arrow left by Wobeitai is not bad, it is not as good as Su Su's white feather arrow, and the arrow accurately hit the chest of the yellow coat, but it was blocked by a piece of armor covered by the yellow coat, and with a bang, the arrow was bounced away.
Su Su secretly admired Xiang Bei's sharp eyes, and ordinary Xiangma should not have armor in his hand that could block his arrows. But even if the arrow did not penetrate the armor, due to the extraordinary power of Su Su's arrow, the huge impact shook the yellow coat a few times, and finally fell to the ground, and the two people next to him were so frightened that they hurriedly dismounted and supported them.
The yellow coat covered his chest and eased for a while, before he was finally able to catch his breath, and whispered to the two guards beside him, "There are masters in the camel team, let's withdraw first." ”
Immediately, he peeked a few more times in the direction where the arrow was shooting, jumped on his horse and fled.
The other horses hacked down a few more dart masters, and quickly retreated under the leadership of the black turban.
On the other hand, the results of the camel team were only a few ringing horses shot down by Su Su.
Jebecuo's martial arts skills were average, but his eyes were good, and he could see that the reason why the horses retreated was the little girl who was walking with the camel caravan.
Enduring the pain on his body, Jebecuo came to Su Su to thank him in person.
Xiang Bei kindly reminded, "Boss, this ringing horse is extraordinary, although it was repelled by us by luck for a while, it is likely to make a comeback." ”
Jebecuo understood that what Xiang Bei said was the truth, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, but it was a pity that some of the dart masters who had died in Huangquan had followed Jebecuo for many years, which made the old man regret.
The hot blood sprinkled on the yellow sand was particularly dazzling, and the thick bloody gas accompanied the blood and soaked into the depths of the yellow sand. A young dart master who was responsible for carrying the corpse of his companion was about to erect a corpse lying on the ground, when he suddenly saw a bulge bulge in the sand dunes below the corpse, which turned the top of the corpse over, which frightened the young dart master's heart and liver, and thought that the corpse was moving on its own.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and at this moment, the bulge exploded violently in front of him, and a large mouth of blood came out of the yellow sand, and this big mouth flew into the air against the corpse, and then swallowed the whole corpse completely in one gulp against the force of the corpse's fall.
Then, along with the body of the hapless dart master, the bloody jaw disappeared beneath the flat dunes, leaving only patches of yellow sand stained with blood.
"What's going on?" Jebecuo, who heard the movement, rushed over as soon as possible, but only saw a frightened dart master stunned there, with his mouth open and unable to make a sound.
At the same time, two larger jaws burst out from under the flat sand dunes, swallowing two camels in an instant.
"Pack your bags and go!" Jebetso shouted to the rest of the dart masters, this time with a hint of fear in his voice. Everyone didn't care about taking care of those comrades-in-arms on the Huangquan Road, so they pulled their camels and began to run.
"Well, I'll ride it for you. In order to thank Su Su for saving his life, Jebecuo also specially vacated a camel for Xiang Bei, who lost his carriage.
"Old man, I'm afraid that the future is treacherous, and it will be difficult for us to break through again, so it's better to go back to Shule City to repair and think of a way together. ”
Without a carriage, Su Su had no choice but to follow Xiang Bei's advice.
So the camel caravan and Xiang Bei turned back to the city of Shule. From time to time, Jebeso looked at the setting sun in the west, and like everyone else, he only hoped to escape from the 500-mile desert full of hellish demons before sunset.
"What are those monsters that come out of the sand?" Su Su also saw those beings who could swallow a camel in one bite, and couldn't help but ask the old Jianghu Jebecuo, who was known as the desert messenger.
The knife wound on his body and the bumpy camel made Jebecuo, who was already over half a hundred years old, a little dazed, but he still gave the answer Su Su wanted, "I have only heard of this kind of monster, they should be sandworms that can devour everything." ”
It is not surprising that the well-informed Jebecuo has no idea, and the deadly sand wind of the desert, the ringing horse and the legendary sandworm, can appear together, and no one will believe it if they don't see it with their own eyes.
Except for the blind man who hugged the hump tightly and hummed and chirped silently, the rest of the people who lived after the catastrophe were silent and lonely.
