The 40,000-strong army drove slowly in the hard saline-alkali land, the sky was about to be dark, and the clouds were split into lime shapes and rolled into the wasteland, which was quite spectacular.

In the desert, lack of water and food is the biggest enemy, followed by being careful of mercenary groups. It's troublesome to be targeted by them. Because the desert is so large and connected to many empires, it is a very important route.

The mercenary groups on the ten regions of Jiuzhou are either entrusted with errands, or escort goods, or purely robbed, and it is very dangerous to walk here. However, Qin Run led an army of 40,000 people, and he was not afraid of the mercenary group, and he was afraid of insufficient supplies.

On the first day of the desert, it took them five hours to travel 100 miles, and on the second day, it took seven hours, and after a few days, they only walked halfway, and the speed was getting slower and slower.

The speed and endurance of the Hallyu Army is not to be said, mainly Qu Yao's Central Army, which is usually military lax, and now they are tired enough to choke on the rush every day.

After that, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and the army set out during the day and began to camp when it was dark.

Unbeknownst to them, they were being targeted.

The sand dunes towered, the moon was hidden, and a slight sound sounded, and a large black shadow lurking in the dark night rose up, and they moved neatly and quickly towards the tent where the food and water were placed!

"Ah! there are robbers!"

That night, it was Dongxue's turn to keep vigil, and she was just about to go to check the grain when she saw several black shadows sneaking into the big tent, and then carrying the boxes of water and food outside! Dongxue suddenly screamed in panic.

The people who were resting in the surrounding tents rushed to the scene as soon as they heard this, and they slept in their clothes on weekdays, so they did not panic. I saw the shadows moving up and down in the night, and the grain boxes on the ground were wide open!

Qin Run was the first to react, his right hand shook, a long sword glowing with cold light was in his hand, he jumped lightly, and the sword light illuminated the face of a thief!

"Princess Ben has long held her breath, dare to steal our water and food, and look for death!" Xue Wuxiang raised her eyebrows and drank coldly, and the Chengying Sword quietly appeared, almost blending with the moonlight, and she grabbed it and threw herself into the battle.

Suddenly, the spiritual power danced, and the wind and clouds moved!

Soon, Qin Run and the others repelled the thieves. These are some mercenary groups that have fallen into a desperate situation. It's still a mercenary group from the Cloud Empire. Because Qin Run made the soldiers wear empty clothes, these mercenaries thought they were enemy soldiers, and not only stole water and food, but also frantically engaged in sabotage.

Encountering such a loyal Changyun mercenary, Qin Run and the others didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After dawn, it was a mess. The losses were heavy. Many tents had been destroyed in the fighting and vandalism by mercenaries, and many water bags had been cut in the fighting.

It's miserable, Xue Wuxiang's violent temper is about to explode, and she also complains that Qin Run let the army change into enemy clothes early, and now she was cheated by her own family. Qin Run explained: If you go to the Broken Cloud Pass, it will be too late.

But it was useless to complain, and the water and food were still decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye under the rapid march.

Before he left the desert, he was about to die of thirst and starvation.

When there were still 200 miles to go, the army was short of water, and it was really impossible to walk.

"I'm going out right away, you guys hold on!"

Xue Wuxiang looked at the endless sea of sand and urged a little anxiously.

Someone said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I really don't have the strength to stand up." ”

"We are thirsty. Someone squirmed on chapped lips.

Dong Xue said, "Don't we still have the last bag of water?" Xiao Xuanliu shook his head, "What about the 40,000 army!" ”

Qin Run said something to Xue Wuxiang, who looked solemn and nodded slowly after a while.

"Lead the horse!"

Qin Run gritted his teeth and waved his hand.

"What are you going to do?!" exclaimed Dongxue, which meant... Are you going to eat war horses?!

Soon someone brought in a horse.

Qin Run took out his glittering Pure Jun Sword and walked towards the war horse.

The slightly weakened horse seemed to know its fate, and it waited motionless for slaughter, and suddenly there were tears in the big horse's eyes. It looked at Qin Run and hissed.

The latter's hand trembled slightly, but now, not the time to be weak, it is the most important thing to live!

With a sword, the soul of the war horse breaks the desert!

Qin Run cut the horse's neck and filled a bowl of horse blood

The blood swayed slightly in the broken porcelain, bright red and terrifying.

Qin Run took the lead and drank it all!

Then Xiao Xuanliu also took a bowl and drank it without changing his face. Then Xue Wuxiang also drank it.

Only Dongxue smelled the smell of horse blood and wanted to vomit, but she was also so thirsty that her throat smoked, so she had no choice but to pinch her nose and taste it, when the warm blood slid through her throat, she was so disgusted that she just wanted to vomit! After drinking half a bowl of blood, she almost retched all day.

Then the whole army followed suit, and on that day, almost all the horses in the army were killed. Horses can be bought again, but people can't!

The blood of war horses can only be killed and drunk, but the horse meat can be stored for a few more days after it is dried. Because Qin Run has a red gold flame, everyone even had a full meal of roast horse meat! .

The yellow sand is boundless and connects to the sky.

And they went on their way. Under the scorching sun, this is tantamount to an asceticism.

After walking for some time, the scene in front of them shocked them.

It was a giant Stonehenge built on the desert.

The huge and majestic columns of wind erosion have been roughly polished by nature for thousands of years to form such formidable stone bodies, and they stand in no order beside many small sand dunes, like quaint giants standing in the desert.

"It's ?...... Wind Eclipse Pillar?" Dongxue looked at the giant engine that had no arrangement, and exclaimed.

"What's so nice about a bunch of pillars? Xue Wuxiang was obviously not interested in this.

Suddenly, there was a long roar, and more than a dozen dim shadows rose up behind the wind erosion pillars surrounded on all sides, like a special ambush, and surrounded everyone in an instant!

Their bodies were strange and terrifying, their upper bodies were like human beings, and from the belly down they were the bodies of horses! They held black iron awls, and because they could not bear the fury in their bodies, they grabbed the ground with their hooves, and their eyes were full of fierceness.

"This is- a half-human, half-horse race?!" Xue Wuxiang almost exclaimed.

"Half-man, half-horse, wow, that's cool!" Dongxue forgot that this was the enemy, and stared at them with bright eyes!

Qin Run snorted coldly, "I really don't know how thick the sky is, I actually dare to hit a stone with an egg." Xiao Xuanliu said: "They seem to be inexplicably hostile to us, I heard that this race attaches great importance to territory, and it is estimated that we accidentally entered their territory." ”

"Then what should I do? The comers are not good, and they don't know how to rein in their edge, so let's teach them a lesson!" Qin Run said.

The Centaur clan roared in, and the Changyun army swarmed up, estimating that the crowd tactics alone could crush the opponent to death.

They only attacked Qin Run and the others who had entered Stonehenge. Xiao Xuanliu is right, Stonehenge is the territory of the Centaur clan.

Those majestic men and horses picked up the terrible sharp iron cones and burst into the air, and a few people surrounded the winter snow, no less than the pressure of half of the mountain was suddenly pressed, and the winter snow retreated step by step.

"Get out of the way!"

Suddenly, everyone heard a sharp female voice that seemed to be out of the sky, and Dongxue listened to it coming from behind him, and instinctively retreated to the side for more than ten meters.

Suddenly, the sun folded, and there was a slight murderous aura in the air, and eight beams of colorful light swept out from the place before the winter snow, and the light rubbed the air, instantly dividing into twenty-four beams, piercing the bodies of the fierce centaurs who were shouting on the opposite side like a swift wind!

They frantically waved their double cones and shouted in pain and rage over the wasteland. It's harsh, it's noisy, it's like it's coming out of your chest!

Qin Run and the others looked back, only to see a girl wearing the armor of the Konglan Empire leading a group of soldiers to stand in a semi-arc, they drew their bows and arrows, and the tips of the poisoned arrows shone with a cold green light, aiming at the panicked centaur monsters from afar.

The girl said a few harsh words to the fellows triumphantly and contemptuously, and in a few moments the centaurs fled without a trace.

"Thank you, girl, for your help!"

In fact, Qin Run and they could also drive away the people, but the girl was kind enough to help, so he had to thank him.

The girl glanced at Qin Run a little slyly, her eyes lit up, "Are you the Konglan Army?" Qin Run's face was not red and his heart did not beat when he lied: "Yes, we are General Xixin's subordinates, the general fought against the Changyun army in Shanyin City, and was accidentally defeated and captured, let us come over to guard the Broken Cloud Pass!"

"What?, Lord Xixin has been captured?" the girl did not suspect him, but was very alarmed, but she quickly calmed down, "Since the Lord asked you to come back to defend the city, then let's go back first." ”

The girl asked again: "I am Yang Yue, the newly appointed general of Broken Cloud Pass, what do you call it?" Qin Run said: "We are the newly promoted general of General Xixin, my name is Qin Zhan." Commander of the Sky Waves. "Yes, Qin Run took out the name he had when he was in Star City again.

Xue Wuxiang said nonsense: "Xue'er, deputy commander." ”

Xiao Xuanliu said: "Xiao Xuan, deputy commander." ”

Dongxue said: "Dong'er, I am also the deputy commander. ”

...... Their names are too arbitrary.

Yang Yue led them to a relatively open flat land, and there was a faint silver light in a radius of 100 meters in the flat land.

Yang Yue told Qin Run and the others that they were not very familiar with this Nesor Gemis Desert, so he invited a master who was good at setting up space formations to set up this large cloud formation that could move freely in two spaces.

Everyone stood in the formation, and after Yang Yue recited a spell, the silver light in the formation flourished, and then they disappeared.

The Misty Cloud Array is the gate to the Broken Cloud Pass, and the Broken Cloud Pass is the last line of defense of the Changyun Empire, but now this line of defense has been broken!

I saw that the space flickered slightly, and when I came out again, the 40,000 army was already standing on the reckless land.

There is a pass in front of them, and the Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron.

The pass is several miles tall, like a giant beast, crouching in the dark in the slightly decayed wasteland. It is tall, majestic, and gives a visual heaviness of oppression.

Here, it's the cloud break!
