Chapter Ninety-Five: Night Attack
Yi Fengling sat down beside Chen Xiao very calmly and patted Chen Xiao's shoulder, "What do you mean by saying this now? When have you dragged us down?"
Chen Xiao nodded, and a smile barely squeezed out of the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Qingyunzi coughed dryly twice, "It's not too early, since you have recovered almost completely, let's get on the road as soon as possible, the longer her body drags on, the more dangerous it becomes." ”
Yi Fengling nodded, and then said to Chen Xiao: "You rest now, I'll help you find some herbs, we have to go to find the Immortal River as soon as possible, remove the poison for you, and wake up the Qilin by the way." ”
Chen Xiao nodded, and with the support of Yi Fengchi, he lay down again.
After a day or so, Chen Xiao's body gradually stabilized, so in the early morning of the second day, when the sky gradually brightened, they began a new journey.
According to Qingyunzi, the Bulao River should be in a desert, so Chen Xiao and Yi Fengchi went to the west, where there is the largest desert in the whole continent, the Gul Desert.
Chilanzhou Prefecture belongs to the southern region, and it is not only tens of thousands of miles away from the Gul Desert, but also separated by countless mountains and rivers, among which there are swamps, which are hidden traps.
Chen Xiao did not act alone this time, but looked for a convoy to travel far away in a nearby city.
In the end, they really found a team, and then the team was not large, about seven to eight people, there were no top masters, but the strength should be around Tianjin, according to this strength, although it is not safe, but for some small goods, it is enough, and Chen Xiao did not say his strength, just said that he was an ordinary traveler, this team is also very simple, and did not give too much consideration to Chen Xiao's identity.
The leader of this convoy is called Lu Feng, who is relatively tall and has very dark skin, which makes people feel like the kind of person who has been transported for a long time and has been exposed to the wind and sun, giving people a sense of steadiness.
So this journey of tens of thousands of miles began.
Along the way, Chen Xiao was also quite open and atmospheric. Soon became acquainted with several people.
After about two months, they finally arrived in the western part of the Xuanji Continent, and as soon as they arrived, Chen Xiao could immediately feel a sense of dryness and heat.
From time to time, the wind and sand blow, a lot of dust and waste everywhere, and the visibility is also very low.
"Brother Lu, how long do we have to go?"
Chen Xiao was a little unaccustomed to the climate here, so he asked in a low voice.
Lu Feng had a good personality, measured the distance visually, and said, "We will go forward for three or four days and arrive at the first city in the west. ”
"It's only the first one?" Chen Xiao was a little decadent, it had been two months since he had been gone, but at the same time, he also felt the vastness of the Xuanji Continent.
Lu Feng said with a smile: "I've held on for two months, can't I bear it in the last few days? ”
Chen Xiao laughed awkwardly, scratched his head, and continued to move forward.
After about three days, the group finally reached the first city.
The city wall here is much wider than that of Chilan Continent, and there are many sword marks on the huge city wall.
Chen Xiao asked suspiciously, "Brother Lu, why are these city walls scarred?"
Lu Feng sighed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This place is called the Western Wilderness, the reason why it is called so is because the people here are generally arrogant and unreasonable, and they don't talk about any justice and order at all, wars often break out between cities, and it is naturally not surprising that you can see these scars." ”
Chen Xiao secretly admired in his heart, the heavy city wall in front of him had suffered so many scars.
Above the city gate, a stone plaque was engraved with four words: Western Barbarian Sword
"Let's go. Don't be stupid. ”
Lu Feng patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder, and after he revealed his identity to the soldiers guarding the city, and after doing verification, he took the lead in entering the city.
Chen Xiao still felt very strange about the name of the city.
The city was also somewhat deserted, with not many people coming and going, and women were the majority.
Chen Xiao didn't need to think about it to know that most of the men had already been taken out, and they had already been buried in the yellow sand.
Lu Feng glanced at Chen Xiao, shook his head, and didn't speak, just walked towards the nearest inn.
In his eyes, Chen Xiao was filled with a layer of sadness. War has always been the most fatal injury to people.
Standing for a long time, Chen Xiao finally turned all his sympathy into a sigh.
In this way, since they have stayed in an unpretentious inn.
The owner of the shopkeeper is an old woman, her husband died on the battlefield, two sons were killed and one was wounded, the injured one has been keeping accounts at the front desk, and there is a daughter, but she has never been willing to marry, the reason for which is naturally needless to say.
Chen Xiao sighed and deliberately paid three times more for the room. Although the old woman excused herself several times, she still couldn't resist Chen Xiao's stubbornness, so she had to accept it.
......
At night, there was silence, the flowing clouds drifted quietly, and Chengdu fell into a dead silence when he was sitting on the western barbarian sword.
After walking for two months, I slept in the open every day, and the taste was really unpleasant. Now that he was finally able to sleep peacefully, Chen Xiao was almost paralyzed on the bed with his entire limbs, and fell asleep as soon as he turned his head.
suddenly
I don't know who yelled.
"The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming. ”
For a time the whole city was in turmoil, and in the darkness the people fled in all directions, and when they heard the word enemy, they fled aimlessly like frightened birds.
Chen Xiao woke up in a panic and left the inn, and Lu Feng and others were also there.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xiao looked at the posture, it seemed that something was wrong, and asked hurriedly.
Lu Feng glanced at the fleeing crowd, looked at Chen Xiao and said, "There should be a battle between the two cities recently, and it's not the right time for us to come!"
Chen Xiao sighed helplessly in his heart, it seems that this western wasteland is really not peaceful.
"I don't know if Brother Lu Feng has a good plan?"
Chen Xiao looked at the fleeing crowd, and he also lost his direction for a while, not knowing what to do.
Lu Feng showed his consciousness of leadership at this moment, he did not panic, but looked at the few people behind him very calmly and said: "You guys take the goods from the south gate, I'll go to the north gate to have a look." ”
Chen Xiao knew Lu Feng's strength, so he demanded: "Brother Lu, let me go with you!"
Lu Sheng frowned and looked at Chen Xiao, obviously a little disbelieving him.
"You'd better go with them, it's dangerous here, and if you're not careful, you might really lose your life. ”
Chen Xiao knew that Lu Feng cared about himself, after all, he was just an ordinary human being in his mind. But this is not the time for him to pretend, along the way, Lu Feng is really good to him, although this love can't be too deep, but it's better to help at this juncture.
Immediately, Chen Xiao's mustard bracelet flashed, and a long sword came out leisurely, emitting bursts of dragon groans.
This sword is the Nine Turns Xuanlong Sword.
"There is one thing I have been hiding from everyone, in fact, I am also a monk, and the current realm has reached the realm of Qiwu, but I don't mean to deceive everyone, the reason is too late to explain, Brother Lu is also kind to me, now I know that it is no longer the time to hide my strength, I hope Brother Lu can allow me to go with you." ”
Lu Feng saw at a glance that the Nine Turns Xuanlong Sword in Chen Xiao's hand was not an ordinary thing, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
So a wave of men and horses split into two routes, one to catch up with the war at the north gate, and the other to try to transport goods to the south gate, so as to get out of the city.
When Lu Feng and Chen Xiao arrived at the north gate, they found that the artillery fire outside the city was roaring, and these artillery fires were not bombs in the real sense, but attacks that modified their spiritual power.
At this moment, there were many soldiers standing on the city wall. Their faces were nervous, and there were already a lot of wounds on their bodies, but they kept insisting, Chen Xiao knew that it was not that they were not afraid of death, but that behind them were their families, innocent lives.
Chen Xiao climbed the city tower, and there were almost tens of thousands of people under the city at this moment.
Although the strength of these people is not very strong, they are a force to be reckoned with together.
Chen Xiao glanced at the city wall, the guards were only thousands, and there was still a gap between them and those outside the city.
"This city should be undefensible. ”
Yi Fengling appeared beside Chen Xiao at this moment, looking at the endless attacks under the city, his face was also a little ugly.
Chen Xiao turned to look at Lu Feng, who was about to go to the city, and said, "Brother Lu, this city shouldn't be able to carry it for long, let's leave quickly!"
Lu Feng glanced at the chaotic street. Although these are innocent lives one after another, he doesn't want these people to die under the blade of the invaders, but he can only choose himself between life and death
"Let's go!"
Chen Xiao was ruthless, and directly followed Lu Feng down the city, preparing to evacuate from the south gate.
It was crowded along the way, but they finally ran to the south gate, and there was indeed no attack here, which made them breathe a sigh of relief, presumably the supplies and convoy also went out of the city smoothly.
So the two of them did not hesitate to go out of the south gate, and at the moment of leaving the south gate, they turned back and saw that the wall of the north gate had been burned in the raging fire.
They knew that the north gate had been breached.
But they don't have the time to think and explore life, and the only thing they do at the moment is to run.
Fortunately, the convoy did not go far, and after only 100 meters, it followed.
Just when they thought they could evacuate safely, suddenly a cavalry appeared. The cultivation of these knights is not high, most of them are between the Sanyang Realm and the Earth Realm, but they are extremely numerous, Chen Xiao roughly estimated, there are at least hundreds of people, if it is said that there is a certain possibility of escaping alone, then they trample on war horses, and their victory rate is almost negligible.
