Chapter 18: Encounter Again
In the Qinhuai Desert in the early morning, the sun has not yet fully risen, only half of the body is exposed on the horizon, and the golden sunlight is scattered all over the land, giving people a strange beauty.
On the empty and desolate land, a strong handsome horse carried a figure on the back of the rising sun and ran wantonly, trampling on the ground with powerful limbs, so that the air behind him raised layers of thick dust and mist, under the illumination of the golden sun, from a distance, but it seemed to have sprinkled a handful of golden sand.
The man carrying the horse grabbed the reins violently, and the horse felt the pull from his neck, and lifted the two front hooves hard, stopping the inertia of the forward rush.
"Da Da" put down the two front hooves again, splashed a puff of dust, and the horse spun around twice uneasily, and then rushed forward without hesitation, ignoring the scolding of the person on his back.
"Dead horse, you are looking for death, you have already passed the safe area cleared by the army, and you will have to encounter demon beasts before you go any further, do you want to be beaten up like this? Stop me!"
Du Mu yelled angrily at the horses under him, and at the same time, he also tightened the reins around the horse's neck with his hands, trying to stop the horse.
This horse detained from the princess of the Great Sui, somehow, was fine when he first came out of the city, Du Mu told it to go west and it would not go east, but it didn't take long for the horse to ignore Du Mu's orders, just ran in one direction, Du Mu saw that he couldn't take it, so he didn't care much, anyway, he didn't have any specific destination when he went out of the city, and it was nothing to run around for a while, but now this horse was going to take him out of the safe area cleared by the Panyang City army, and enter the dangerous area where all kinds of monsters and beasts were dense, although Du Mu probably knew that he should have the strength to practice the peak of the god realm from the point of view of pure attack power, but two fists are hard to beat four hands, this Qinhuai desert, but it is known for its group demon beasts, although there are no powerful demon beasts on the periphery, but it is only the general spitting period, but it is often hundreds of wolf demons that act together to make Du Mu have no return.
"If you still want to find your master, stop me. ”
Through this journey, Du Mu knew that the horse under him had a strong spirituality, and could even understand human speech, and had about a normal human being6. The IQ of a 7-year-old child, but also knows that it cares very much about its first owner, that is, the princess of the Great Sui, Du Mu wants to use this as a threat, let the uncontrolled horse stop, and then go forward, it will really meet the demon beast, with the movement of the horse running at full speed, it will definitely attract a large number of various little demons, at that time, if the number of small demons reaches a certain level, the horse does not know how to stop, Du Mu can only give up it, escape alone, although this mutated and open the wisdom of the horse is very rare, Du Mu himself also prefers the loyal temper of this horse, but Du Mu will not put himself in danger for a horse.
"Da Da, Da Da" The horse did not react to Du Mu's words, and still ran forward regardless of it, every time the horse's hooves fell to the ground, Du Mu's heart tightened, for fear of rushing out from which direction a large wave of demon beasts.
The Qinhuai Desert is a barren land, and there is no trace of greenery from a distance, but only the strange-shaped huge rocks eroded by the wind and the sand and gravel surface dotted with some dry yellow grass piles.
Maybe it's because of the early morning, the demon beasts are resting, or for some other reason, the horses carried Du Mu all the way through, but they didn't encounter a large group of demon beasts, and occasionally one or two little demons with low intelligence intended to attack Du Mu, and he was also sent away, running energy, dealing with these little demons in the early and middle stages, they didn't need to paint, they could be solved one by one.
"How long are you going to run? If you run again, the big demon will come out. ”
Fortunately, this Qinhuai desert is big enough, and there are enough small demons, occupying a wide territory, if not, according to the speed of this horse, they all have to run to the area where the big demon is active, but although it has not yet arrived, Du Mu also clearly felt the change in the strength of the demon beasts encountered, from the beginning of occasionally encountering one or two small demons in the early and middle stages of Tuna, to now being able to meet at any time in the later stage of Tuna, and even encountering in the condensation period, Du Mu has no doubt that if he runs in it for a while, there will be a big demon that Du Mu can only run away from the wind.
Xu understood that there would be a danger to his life in the future, and the horses gradually slowed down in Du Mu's happy gaze, carrying Du Mu slowly, from time to time lowering his head and sniffing twice at the ground like a dog, following his own feelings.
"Heh, do you think you can have the same sense of smell as a dog with a slight mutation?"
At this time, Du Mu had already taken advantage of the fact that the horse was just walking slowly and turned over from the horse, looking at the horse like a dog in front of him, a little crying and laughing, small steps forward and stroked the horse's neck, Du Mu looked around the surrounding environment, and then lowered his head to the horse and sniffed around
"You are so anxious, even disregarding your own safety, breaking into the depths of this desert full of monsters, what are you looking for?"
"Babble"
Of course, Du Mu's words were not answered by the horse, and the horse slowly followed his sense of smell as if he did not see Du Mu beside him, and after a while, the horse stopped next to a huge rock that was two people high, as if he had found something, raised his head excitedly and shouted at Du Mu twice, and then raised his two front hooves and kicked the rock.
Du Mu frowned at the horse's movements, reached out and touched the rock in front of him, although the horse couldn't speak, Du Mu still understood what the horse meant.
"You want me to move this rock out of the way?"
This horse has the IQ of a child of about 6 or 7 years old, although he can't speak, but he can understand people's words, and can understand them very well, at this time it listened to Du Mu's words, nodded humanely, and said two eagerly to Du Mu.
Seeing this, Du Mu did not reach out to lift it, the rock in front of him weighed at least a few tons, and Du Mu was not confident that he could lift it away with his physical strength alone.
Reaching out and touching the horse's head soothingly, Dumu spun around the rock to see if he could find a gap.
After turning half a circle, Du Mu stopped, and under him was a stone close to a huge rock, without thinking about it, Du Mu bent down to move the stone away, and a big hole suddenly appeared in front of Du Mu's eyes, and in the hole, there was a girl with a blue face, ragged and bloodstained, Du Mu fixed his eyes and looked, who is not the princess of Da Sui?
