Chapter Fifty-Eight: Wind and Dust White Feathers
The light rain is like a crisp, the clothes are not wet, and the ground is sandy.
Wu Shanyue walked in the rain and stepped on the sand, like countless times in this direction over the years. She is already familiar with the changes in rain and snow on the edge of the desert, and the rain is rain and snow near the Suosuolin forest, and once she goes further inside, there will gradually be a strange weather when the rain and snow fall and turn into sand. In the past, when she went deeper, she wandered in areas that were almost completely melted, because if she went any further, the ground would be deprived of water, and plants such as cistanche would not be able to grow. She didn't know what would happen further down, but she thought that once Su Yu found out about this, he should stop around here.
Of course, there will be real rain in the depths, maybe if Su Yu thinks so, and there is no hundred-year-old orchid in this area, then he definitely wants to go inside, so Wu Shanyue is a little hesitant. Standing alone in the desert with an unopened umbrella in her hand, she looked west for a long time. During this period, there were two groups of people passing by, both of whom were cultivators returning to the city from the desert. Wu Shanyue deliberately released the cultivation aura of the Seven Spins, and those people tried to bypass it from a distance, and no one dared to have any ill intentions towards such a lonely and independent girl in the sand. She approached and asked, "Have you ever seen a white crane and a boy?"
The answers were all "no" and "never". This desert is still too vast, the sky is raining again, and the vision is not very clear, no one has seen Su Yu or it is normal that they have seen it but have not seen it clearly. Wu Shanyue didn't ask any more questions, turned around and glanced at the Star Prayer Circle that was faintly visible at the end of his vision, feeling that Su Yu was unlikely to have anything to do with the monks in the circle, he just wanted to find Bai Sui Lan, and he would not be reckless enough to provoke the city lord. After a moment's hesitation, she turned and continued into the depths of the desert.
Probably no sane person would do that. Because of Ariga Xiaotong, the possibility of Su Yu falling into the sea of sand is very low. Black Beans are not there, and trying to find Su Yu in the desert is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if there are black beans following, Su Yu is flying in the sky, there will be no breath on the ground to pursue. Wu Shanyue just had the idea of going to the depths of the desert casually. What if something happens to Su Yu and what if she bumps into him? Instead of lying restless and worrying at home, it is better to go and look for him. To put it bluntly, this is what will make her feel at ease, and she wants to do it, so she does it.
The deeper she went, the faster her steps became. With a good cultivation in his body, it is not difficult to walk in the desert. Then she noticed that the sky was turning yellow and cloudy, and that sand began to fall from the sky. She stopped in a daze, raised her face to look at the strange scene of sand particles falling with rain, silently took out a white silk scarf and tied it to her face, and held up the umbrella in her hand.
It was almost dusk, the sky was already a lot darker, and this area of long sky and sand was even more drowsy, and he could only barely see a few steps when he looked around, and the strange and harsh unknown was very easy to make people afraid. Wu Shanyue is not afraid, but since the depths of the desert are such a scene, Su Yu will not stay here, and he will probably fly back to the city with He Xiaotong a long time ago. She slowed down, held her umbrella in her hand, and walked some further distance, and when she saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and she could barely see anything but the flying grains of sand, she stopped again and prepared to return. Didn't find Su Yu, although there was still anxiety and unwillingness in her heart, but she couldn't go any further, but as soon as she turned around, she saw a touch of white floating in the wind and sand flying in front of her, which was the only white in the dusk color that swept the sky, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and grabbed the bright color that was about to go in her hand, which was soft to the touch, and it was a white feather. Her heartstrings tensed suddenly.
There is no grass here, there are no birds and beasts, where do the white feathers come from? She instinctively thought of He Xiaotong, could it be that this is a crane feather? And it is unlikely that a star beast like He Xiaotong will drop its feathers for no reason, if it is one or two, it will be fine, if there are many of them, it is obviously that it has encountered great danger to do so. Her heart began to pound in her chest at the thought of this, and she turned and ran between the dunes in search of it.
Soon, another feather was found, and then another, and here is ...... Flying in the wind, buried in the sand, scattered and scattered, everywhere. Every time she found one more, Wu Shanyue's face turned pale. The shedding of such a large number of concentrated feathers must have happened not long ago, because if it was a little longer, it would have been blown away by the wind or completely buried by the sand. This must be that He Xiaotong has encountered an extremely fierce attack, and a star beast with a cultivation level is still like this, not to mention Su Yu, who has no cultivation.
Finally, she stopped at the edge of a sand dune and leaned down to grab a handful of sand from the ground, yellow with dots of red, which were the blood of the sand. Stunned for a moment, she suddenly turned around and flew up, kicked away the sand dunes under her, and with a bang, the sand and dust exploded, the dust and smoke were filled, and a sky blue aura blocked all the wind and sand from her body, and she fell into the open sand pit with a twist of the umbrella in her hand, where there was already a shriveled corpse. She crouched down, shook her hands to remove the sand from the corpse's face, and after seeing the face of the deceased, she put one hand on her chest and let out a long breath.
It's not Su Yu. That's great.
Just immediately, she felt a slight tremor in the ground, as if the sand was flowing under her feet. got up and turned around, the yellow sand behind him rose for a long time, and a figure disappeared in the sand and flew in, as fast as the wind. Wu Shanyue threw the umbrella forward violently, and at the same time slid backwards on the sand, because she didn't know that the other party didn't want to touch it, but the umbrella broke through the sand and collided with the person, and it knocked the other party back a few feet with a bang. The man stumbled and rolled out on the sand, and was about to try to get up, when Wu Shanyue's Ice Heart Sword was already in his throat. The gap in cultivation is too big, and the shot is too reckless, and he can't even resist the girl's move.
"Who are you?" Wu Shanyue asked coldly as she looked at the strange man who fell on the sand.
"You don't need to know who I am, no one who dares to come here to spread wild has left alive. There was no fear on the man's face, but he was still threatening with his sword, "You are dead!"
"You killed that person?" Wu Shanyue seemed unimpressed and asked again.
"Naturally, we killed it. ”
"You guys?" Wu Shanyue frowned, "Are you a sand thief?"
"So what?"
"Have you seen a white crane and a boy?"
“...... White Crane?"The man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly grinned, "Anyway, none of the people who came here can leave, all of them are dead, who remembers?"
Wu Shanyue twitched in her heart, her eyes were cold again, she didn't expect the sand thief to be so fearless of death, she knew that she couldn't ask anything anymore, the tip of the sword trembled and sent it into the throat of the other party, but it was like mud and sand, and the living person suddenly turned into a ball of yellow sand, blown by the wind, the sand and dust particles flew away, and the face and body quickly blurred.
