However, among the large tribes that were annexed before, there was a tribe called the Fox Clan, who was dissatisfied with the fact that the Jiang clan became the leader, and many of their own clansmen died under the hands of the Jiang clan in the battle, so they secretly formed a rebel force, became the king in the east of the land of Jiuyi, established the Fox Bamboo City, and borrowed the dry sea misty valley between Jiuyi City and the Fox Bamboo City as a cover, constantly invading the clansmen of the Jiuyi Land.

Jiang Rong's Jiuyi King has always had a headache about this matter, and sent Jiang Rong's troops to Fox Bamboo City several times to conquest, but he was blocked by the Misty Valley, and was almost trapped and died in the Dry Sea Lost Valley several times, so the Fox Bamboo King of Fox Bamboo City has become a big trouble for him all along.

And Jiang Yi, the king of Jiuyi who has gone through this generation, wants to find an extraordinary person to destroy the fox and bamboo king, and this person is Tianqian who was selected in the underworld.

Since Tianqian agreed to Jiang Yi, the king of Jiuyi, Fan Yuqi, Yang Duanhe and others have been worried about it.

Now that he has led a thousand elite soldiers to the battle, Fan Yuzhi still asked Tianqian worriedly: "Brother Tianqian, I know that you have always acted very calmly, and now you are sure of this expedition to Fox Bamboo City?"

But who expected Tianqian to shake his head slightly and said: "Don't hide it from the general, in fact, I am not sure, I promised the King of Jiuyi at that time was just a last resort." ”

"Huh?"

When Fan Yuzhi heard Tianqian's words, his eyes widened in shock, and he said, "Since you are not seven points sure, why did you easily agree to the Jiuyi King's conquest of Huzhu?

"Yes, Brother Tianqian, you agreed to the King of Jiuyi so rashly, what should I do with the soldiers and civilians of my mediocre ranks?"

At this time, Yang Duanhe, who was on the side, was also shocked when he heard the words of the two of them, and couldn't help but stop his horse and said very anxiously.

"The two generals don't know, yesterday I have personally tested this King of Jiuyi, and found that he can calmly answer questions under threats and coercion, and he must not be a mediocre and incompetent leader, so my plan to coerce the King of Jiuyi obviously did not work, so I had to give up. At the time, I couldn't think of any better way to get through this, but fortunately, since he asked for it, we might as well give it a try, and maybe there was a chance of survival. ”

Tian Qian looked at the anxious appearance of the two of them, so he said his thoughts in detail.

"I see, hey, I hope that God has the virtue of a good life, which can help us break the fox bamboo this time, so that my mediocre soldiers and civilians can tide over this difficulty. ”

Fan Yuzhi listened to Tianqian's explanation and understood the intention of Tianqian's move, so he had to pray for God's blessing, and in addition, he couldn't think of a better way.

"General, there is a place of sand moraines ahead, and there is endless yellow sand covering the sky, and there is no trace of grass and trees in sight, do you want to continue to move forward?"

While Fan Yuzhi and the others were talking, they heard a former soldier come to report.

"The land of sand moraines, is this what the King of Jiuyi said about the Dry Sea Lost Valley?"

Fan Yuzhi listened to the sergeant's report, and couldn't help but be suspicious, "The Dry Sea Misty Valley is extremely dangerous, and the order will go down: the front army team will march in pairs, and you must be vigilant and be careful of the enemy's sneak attack." ”

"No!"

The scout received Fan's order and planned to turn around and go down to deliver the word.

"Slow!"

At this time, Tianqian suddenly called out to the scout, and said to Fan Yuqi very seriously and cautiously, "General, I think you still need to make the whole army have enough water to prevent a shortage of water on the way. ”

"Yes, yes, yes,"

Fan Yuzhi listened to Tianqian's reminder, and suddenly remembered the terrible encounter with the water cut off at that time in Longquan Mountain, and immediately added to the scout, "Just do what Brother Tianqian said, the whole army must prepare enough water to prevent accidents!"

"No!"

The scout received Fan Yuzhi's words again, and quickly retreated to send a message to the front army.

When Fan Yuqi and Tianqian entered this place where the hair did not grow into a moraine, they found that the scene in front of them was really chilling.

Suddenly, gusts of wind rose from the ground with no regularity at all, colliding and biting each other in this barren land.

The fierce wind, mixed with small but sharp grains of sand, flew all over the sky, and it was impossible to open your eyes.

And this crazy wind and sand blew on people's skin, like a knife cut, and the pain was raw.

Due to the perennial erosion of wind and sand, there is no sign of life here, not to mention the crawling and running animals, and even the wormwood, which can usually survive in the cracks, is completely missing at this moment.

Tianqian had just walked a few steps, and suddenly felt a creaking sound under his feet, so he looked down at the soles of his feet, and found that a slightly whitish thing broke out of the ground and broke into his eyes at once.

He slowly leaned down, turned over the yellow sand that had been sealed for a long time, took out the bone that had gradually calcified from white to yellow due to the erosion and wind peeling of the yellow sand for too long, and examined it carefully.

"Sure enough, it's a terrible place of death. ”

Tian Qian stared at the white bones for a long time, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"What is this?"

Yang Duanhe saw that Tianqian looked at the unknown thing in his hand, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Human bones. ”

Tianqian said in a deep voice and very seriously, but his eyes never left the wind in his hand that cut the bones of the dead man.

Yes, this is the bones of the Jiang Rong tribe who marched here back then, but were swallowed by the yellow sand and buried deep here.

"Oops!"

Just as Tian Qian was carefully looking at the bones in his hand and pondering, suddenly someone in the front army exclaimed loudly.

When Tianqian heard this exclamation, he immediately jumped forward and went to see what was going on.

I saw that the sergeant was sitting on the ground, pointing to a messy pile of sand, his eyes exuding a look of horror, his lips trembling and he couldn't speak: "Snake... Snake..."

。

Tianqian followed the direction he pointed, but saw a poisonous snake with angry eyes and a poisonous letter in its mouth, curling up its body, and expressing anger at these uninvited guests.

Its head is in the shape of a terrifying cone, its neck is slightly inflated twice, and the texture on its body is layered and "whirring"

In the sound, there is a compelling cold air.

"Don't move, close your eyes!"

Tian Qian immediately stretched out his hand to stabilize the sergeant's emotions, and continued to speak softly, "This is a dementor snake, its body contains poison, and when it looks at it angrily, it will gradually ingest that person's true essence until the person he ingested dies silently. ”

When the sergeant heard Tianqian's words, he immediately trembled with fright, and quickly closed his eyes.

Then he heard a whirring sound in his ears, and his body was pulled out by a strange energy.

When he opened his eyes, he found that he was far away from the range of the Dementor snake, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and relieved.

It turned out that after stabilizing the sergeant's mood, Fang Cai Tianqian took the opportunity to raise his hand and dragged the sergeant away from the demon eye of the dementor snake with an arrow step, which saved his life.

And the dementor snake that was originally about to suck the true element, when he saw that someone had cut off its deliciousness, seemed to feel that something was wrong, and suddenly disappeared into the yellow sand, and there was no trace of it.

"How could Brother Tianqian know such a terrifying monster?"

Fan Yuzhi saw that Tianqian had successfully saved the sergeant's life, so he had doubts.

"When my master Juzi belly was fighting with the Qiang tamer, he had encountered it, and he recorded it in the Eight Dragons Divine Strategy, but the original plains of this thing have long been extinct, I can't imagine that I can meet the true face of this monster here today, it seems that it is far from as simple as we imagined to break through this dry sea and valley. ”

Tianqian patiently explained to Fan Yuzhi, but he couldn't help but be secretly worried in his words.

Tianqian's words lingered in everyone's ears like a ghost, so that everyone was terrified, and they secretly stuck out their tongues, not daring to speak.

At that moment, Fan Yuzhi's entire army to conquer Fox Bamboo City was quiet all of a sudden, except for the whining sound of the wind ringing in everyone's ears, and suddenly, a sharp cry of an eagle swept through the sky, which added a bit of coolness and chill to this dry sea valley.

But none of them would have known that this kite, which had circled a few times in the sky and let out a long roar, actually flew all the way east after carefully probing Fan Yuqi's army.

Only an hour later, it had already fallen to the top of the fortress of Fox Bamboo City.

It fluttered only a few times, and then landed firmly on the familiar shoulder, and the owner of this shoulder, after receiving the information from the kite, only had a treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth, and then slowly walked towards the palace of the fox and bamboo city.

"My lord, according to my Flying Eagle, the King of Jiuyi has sent another army to prepare to crusade against my fox bamboo, and now it has arrived in the valley of the dry sea. ”

The falconer who got the information immediately reported the information he had obtained to the fox and bamboo king Chirigu.

"Hmph, this Jiang Yi has occupied my Jiuyi land, proclaimed himself the king of Jiuyi, and has never taken my fox clan in his eyes, and has come to ask for it several times, which is really deceitful!"

Chirigu heard the report of the man in the hall, and said with hatred in his mouth.

After the hatred stopped, he raised his eyes and asked the falconer, "This Jiang Yijun is coming with great momentum, I don't know what the national teacher has to do to break the enemy?"

It turned out that the one who came to report all this was the national teacher in Chiligu's mouth, and it was also Milu, the commander of the Fox Bamboo City.

This person is proficient in the language of beasts and can summon poisonous snakes and beasts, so he won the appreciation of the Fox and Bamboo King, so he kept him by his side and was regarded as the national teacher of Fox and Bamboo City.

"Hehe, the lord of the country doesn't need to panic, Mi Lu has already made arrangements, not to mention that he is a foreigner this time, and he doesn't know how powerful my dry sea is in the valley, even if he Jiang Rong comes in person, he will definitely make him come and not come back!"

When the national teacher heard Chi Ligu's question, he just smiled and said with confidence.

"Oh, the national teacher made arrangements so early?"

When Chirigu heard Milu's words, he was immediately overjoyed, and then continued to ask, "I don't know what kind of arrangements the national teacher has made?"

"Don't hide it from the lord of the country, since Mi Lu Rong was appointed as the national teacher of Fox Bamboo City, he put the soul snake domesticated by Benmen himself into this dry sea valley, as long as ordinary people dare to set foot here, they will inevitably die under the snake venom of the soul snake. In addition, I have laid a hurricane gust in the valley of the dry sea, and as soon as the comers enter, the hurricane gust will start at any time, and when the time comes, all they can see is a white expanse of flat sand, and a thousand miserable fogs are dark, and they will not be able to come out of it. ”

Between Miru's words, the tip of the eagle's nose twisted incessantly, and a murderous aura shot out of his eyes.

"Hahaha, okay, with the blessing of the national teacher, why worry that he Jiang Yi can step half a step on my fox bamboo?"

After hearing Milu's words, Chirigu couldn't help laughing, so he suddenly felt a lot more relieved, but he suddenly remembered something, so he asked Milu together, "Oh, by the way, the national teacher just said that it was not his Jiang Rong's own army that came this time, so who is it?"

"I don't know who they are, but judging from their clothes, they are not the tribes of the Nine Yi Land, but more like the Central Plains. ”

"Central Plains?"

When Chiligu heard these three words, he couldn't help but have a burst of doubts, and asked himself secretly, "Why did the people of the Central Plains come to my land of Jiuyi?"

"Hehe, Lord of the Kingdom, we don't have to ask about this, anyway, it's just to make a few more dry bones in the Dry Sea Lost Valley. ”

Miru didn't care at all about Chirigu's question, but made the final judgment on his conclusion.

When Chirigu heard Mi Lu's words, he immediately nodded and laughed, and the smug laughter of the two of them floated back and forth in the fortress of Fox Bamboo City for a long time.

Long before ancient times, the valley of the dry sea was originally an endless mountain range.

With the change of time, the Jiuyi Mountains underwent large-scale fission and differentiation, and some of them were split into undulating, steep and deep Jiuyi mountains, which enclosed the Jiuyi Basin, which is where Jiang Yi's tribe now lives.

Some of them were split into sand, gravel and mud land, and after being washed away by the rain for many years, the mud and sand land without trees and weeds soon became the current sand moraine.

The moraine is scorching hot during the day by the strong sun, and at night it is cold and cold.

In addition, there is no half-drop of water in this place, and there is no edge everywhere, so it is called the valley of the dry sea.

This valley of the dry sea has been devoid of grass and no human tracks, and now coupled with the poisonous snakes and beasts that this Milu has planted here, it has become as terrible as purgatory on earth.

At this time, Tianqian and the others didn't know that this dry sea valley hid so many dangers, but it was a difficult place to walk through the sand moraine, and they thought that they could grit their teeth and break through, but who knew that they had unconsciously fallen into this valley of death.

They walked like this for an unknown amount of time, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Now that Shen is in fashion and has not yet arrived, why has the sky darkened so quickly?"

After Fan Yuzhi led everyone away for a long time, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and he couldn't help but be confused in his heart.

Tianqian didn't answer Fan Yuqi's words, but just looked up and carefully looked at the changes in the sky, then looked around in all directions, lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "This is not a change in the night, but something else." ”
