Chapter 4 The treacherous Celsa
"Wow, tsk, tsk, swordsman, I didn't expect it." Xia Zuo made a deliberate surprise voice, curled his lips and looked at Gaito.
"If you don't leave, I promise you will spend your next life in Deseado's cell." Gaito said coldly, with no expression on his face, and slowly approaching Xia Zuo with a sword.
In fact, he also had concerns. He knew the desert more than Peña and what kind of lunatics the Celsa people were, so he didn't dare to act rashly, but just showed his strength level and wanted to force Xia Zuo away.
"Is that so? I'm in prison? I haven't been there before, I really want to go and see it." Xia Zuo said with sarcasm in his tone. Although he said so, as Gato approached, he walked step by step slowly backwards. Obviously he had concerns and wanted to keep a distance from Gato.
"Your identity seems to be very important. Those sand bandits are afraid of you. They call you Mr. Bai. If you catch you, don't know what will happen?" Gaito threatened. He didn't know Xia Zuo's identity among the Selsa tribe, but he must be very high. If Xia Zuo really caught, he would use this as a threat when facing pursuit, and he might get miraculous effects.
"Oh? Is that right? Then let's start fighting!" Xia Zuo, who was retreating step by step, suddenly stopped and said coldly.
Gaito also stopped and was on guard. He had just seen Xia Zuo kick the leader of the bandit, and knew that Xia Zuo was not only fooling people with his mouth. But Gaito did not notice a detail. He was ten meters away from Xia Zuo, and Xia Zuo retreated ten meters under his pressure.
In other words, the location where he is standing is exactly where Xia Zuo just stood.
"Diet! Ha!" Xia Zuo suddenly roared.
At this moment, he stepped forward and forcefully on the ground, and his arms were posing for boxing. The scene was extremely quiet for a moment. Then... Xia Zuo silently withdrew his feet and put down his hand, resting his standing posture just now.
what happened?
Xia Zuo just gestured for a while and then it was over.
Nothing happened.
Xia Zuo's behavior just now seems to be used to be funny.
Gaito did not relax, but still stood guard against Xia Zuo with a cautious look.
"What a pity..." Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows and muttered softly.
Just then!
Suddenly, the light shield in front of Gaito exploded and disappeared intovisible. Gaito's face turned pale inexplicably. He waved the sword flower with his right hand and twisted his body to stab him at his left foot. He was extremely fast.
With a "sniff", the tip of the sword entered the sand, but there... there was nothing.
But the few mercenaries standing behind saw it. It was a small figure with red and yellow. Just before Gaito stabbed his sword, it suddenly rushed out of the sand. It flashed at Gaito's feet and drilled back into the sand.
The bright redness quickly oozed out from Gaito's left trousers, and a faint smell of blood drifted away with the wind.
He felt a sour and tingling feeling spreading upward from his left ankle and spreading rapidly. His consciousness began to become heavier, and his face turned pale like a ghost in a very short time.
A small sandbag suddenly bulged on the sand five meters in front of Gaito, and quickly moved to Xia Zuo's feet. A yellow and red shadow flashed in a flash, jumped out of the sand and penetrated into Xia Zuo's trouser legs.
"It's not good, tsk, tsksk, swordsman!" Xia Zuo looked at Gaito, whose forehead was already sweating from ten meters away, and said with a pout. Then he raised his thin left hand, and a small thing slowly crawled out of his sleeve and lay on his little hand.
"The red-tailed golden scorpion is the most poisonous scorpion in the desert, but... it's just a cub, so if you can return to the city within three days and spend a lot of money to find a wizard, you still have a chance to survive." Xia Zuo looked at the little scorpion with a golden tail thorn three or four centimeters long on his hand, but red, raised his other hand and gently touched the little scorpion's back, raised his head and looked at Gaito.
"Despicable!" Gaito looked at Xia Zuo and gritted his teeth and spit out the word, his hand holding the sword was shaking slightly.
"Wow, is it? Despicable? I'm honored, the despicable and disgusting Celsa...I'm!" Xia Zuomoto had already smiled, but after he finished speaking, his face completely darkened.
The whole body is filled with cold!
Everyone here felt a sense of coldness from the bottom of their hearts.
"Ah! I'll kill you!" Gaito roared suddenly, and a strong momentum burst out from his body, as if he had used all his strength, and rushed towards Xia Zuo with his sword!
Three steps!
Five steps!
Seven steps!
With a "thump", the powerful Swordsman fell to his knees on the ground three meters away from Xia Zuo, holding the ground with his hands, and a mouthful of black blood squirted to the ground.
"You shouldn't be angry, the chance is a little smaller, what a pity!" The thin Xia Zuo could finally look down at Gaito, and after saying that, he leaned over and put his fingertips on the sand. The little scorpion crawled down and crawled into the sand without a trace.
The caravan was a little turbulent, and everyone looked at the sand, looking very nervous.
Xia Zuo walked past Gaito, and did not look at Gaito again, and slowly walked to Penia's camel.
"Don't come here!" Penia shouted nervously, pulling out the musket from her waist.
Xia Zuo flipped his wrist and a stone shot out. With a "pop", the musket in Penia's hand was knocked off. The musket fell on the sand. Penia, who was sitting on the camel, was completely panicked and glanced at Gaito subconsciously, but Gaito was already lying on the sand in front of him, as if she was already unconscious.
"Come and save me!" Penia was scared to tears, turned her head and looked at the caravan and shouted.
"Come here two people and help me tie her up!" Xia Zuo also turned to look at the caravan and said in a low tone.
At the warning of Amuti, two mercenaries walked out of the caravan and said "offended" to Peña, then pulled Peña off the camel and tied it up with a thick hemp rope. Peña's upper body was completely tied up, and six or seven meters of rope was added, and it was handed to Xia Zuo.
"Take that guard with me and you will leave after I pass the dune." Xia Zuo said to the caravan, pulled the rope suddenly, turned around and walked towards the sand dune in the distance. Penia at the other end of the rope staggered and almost fell to the ground, and had to follow Xia Zuo forward.
Charzo and Penia walked away.
"Miss Peña, we will pick you up in half a month!" Only then did Amuti dare to shout at Peña.
Penia was led forward like a camel and staggered, turning her head and looking at the caravan with tears in her eyes, as Xia Zuo gradually moved away.
Soon, Xia Zuo pulled her over the dune, and Xia Zuo stopped again, let go of the rope in his hand, lay on the slope of the dune, with his hands behind his head, and looking at the sky.
"Don't think about running, you can't escape!" Xia Zuo said coldly without turning his head, still looking at the sky.
"You want...what do you want to do to me?" Penia fell on the slope without her previous momentum, and asked while crying.
"Rank!" Xia Zuoyi said in a concise manner, replied in a light tone, raised his hand and covered his hat on his head, and there was no movement again.
The desert is filled with wind and sand, hot and dry.
Xia Zuo lay on the sand slope, his body did not move any more for a long time, as if he was asleep.
Penia, who was standing aside, gradually stopped crying, and struggled carefully to stand up and moved a small step towards the next person.
Xia Zuo did not respond.
Penia moved a small step.
Xia Zuo still didn't respond.
Penia became bold and walked down the dunes step by step. From time to time, she would turn her head to look at Xia Zuo. She wanted to run, but suddenly staggered under her feet, and she fell to the center of the slope, and then her body rolled down uncontrollably, making a "ouch" cry in her mouth.
Her upper body helps the rope, and without the cooperation of her arms, it is difficult for her body to control balance.
On the sand slope, Xia Zuo raised his hand and took off the hat on his head, slowly opened his eyes, then got up and ran to the dune. Without saying a word, he pulled the rope and dragged Peña back to his original position. He didn't even give him a chance to stand up, and dragged it back directly. Fortunately, it was a desert and the sand was soft. Peña's body was not injured, but his body was covered in sand and dust, looking embarrassed.
"Be honest, don't think about running. The caravan has left. You can't get out of the desert by yourself." Xia Zuo said silently, without even looking at Penia, lay down again and fell asleep with a hat.
Penia was curled up on the sand, the veil on her face had fallen, her little face was dirty and full of tears, and she cried silently.
Five hours later, it was already afternoon and the sun gradually turned west.
After five hours of "hard and arduous" struggle, Penia finally bit the rope on her wrist with her teeth. She was soaked in sweat. She felt very thirsty and her lips were dry, but she didn't dare to make a sound.
After nervously looking at Shazo, who had been sleeping for five hours, Penia slowly untied the rope in her hand, and then the rope in her body was also untied and shook it off on the sand.
Penia moved her wrist and slowly stood up. Her eyes looked at Xia Zuo with resentment, but of course she would not foolishly disturb Xia Zuo, she still wanted to run away.
Xia Zuo suddenly raised his hand and took off his hat again. He opened his eyes with a heavy face. Suddenly, his nose wings moved slightly, as if he had smelled something.
Penia's body shook for a moment and froze in place.
"Give you a chance, let you run now, climb over this dune, don't appear in front of me again, I'll let you go, go!" Xia Zuo turned his head and looked at Penia, and said expressionlessly.
Penia was a little unbelievable, her eyes widened and her mouth opened, but she didn't say anything. She turned around eagerly and ran towards the dune with her hands and feet. She had no image of a noble lady at all. She quickly climbed over the dune and disappeared from Xia Zuo's sight.
Xia Zuo silently got up on the sand slope, took off his robe, seemed to be a little tired, and began to twist his waist, stretch his arms, and stretch his body.
"Help! God is here! Save me!" Penia's terrifying cry came from behind the dunes, and then she appeared on the dunes, rolled down the dunes, rolled to Xia Zuo's feet, grabbed Xia Zuo's trouser legs, and cried in panic: "Wolf pack! There are wolves!"
"Woooo!"
As Penia said, the sound of wolves roaring behind the dunes, and there were so many dense sounds. The sound of wolves rushing in the wolves became clearer and clearer.
"Go!" Xia Zuo shook his legs gently, got rid of Penia's pulling hand, turned around and climbed up the sand dune, and slowly stood up straight.
In the distance, on one sand dunes after another, the wolves rush down, like a red wave, about to swallow everything.
Xia Zuo's mouth slowly curled upward curves, and his face showed an excited smile, which was a different kind of brilliant.
A day of irritability and depression, Xia Zuo's happiest moment is coming soon!
