When the sun was about to set, the caravan stopped and had some food. After taking a short rest, the old shopkeeper asked everyone to continue on their way.
The desert at night is two extremes from the day. Compared to the scorching heat during the day, it becomes cold and even bitingly cold at night.
But no one complained about traveling all night, because compared to traveling during the day, traveling at night would be more comfortable.
And everyone knows that their caravan has been targeted by sand bandits. If they leave the desert as soon as possible, they may still get some peace.
In this way, a caravan of more than two hundred people stretched tens of meters in the moonlight, like a long snake in the dark night, slowly heading west.
After walking for four hours, it was not until midnight that everyone couldn't help but stop, found a place leeward, hid in sleeping bags and began to rest.
As for Luo Chen and Zheng Xiaoliu, since they got on the carriage during the day, they have stayed in the carriage except for a moment when eating.
A restless night!
the next day.
When the sky was slightly bright, everyone was called up by Shen Tucan and his guards. After having breakfast, they packed their things and continued on their way.
As we headed westward, the weather gradually became hotter as we went further.
"Shopkeeper, do you think we are too worried? Maybe it is a small bandit group. If the leader is killed, the group of bandits will disperse and they will not come for revenge."
We walked until it was almost noon, but we still didn't see the bandits coming. In the carriage at the front of the caravan, Shen Tucan wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the old shopkeeper doubtfully.
"maybe!"
The old shopkeeper nodded absentmindedly, then frowned and said solemnly: "It's best this way, if not, it's been a day and a night, then these bandits are too tolerant, they are definitely not ordinary bandits.
"
"Um?"
Just as he finished speaking, the old shopkeeper suddenly turned his head and looked out the car window.
"Whoosh!"
At the same time, Luo Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on a carriage behind the caravan, suddenly opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Zheng Xiaoliu, who was sitting nearby, was startled when he saw a pair of bright eyes suddenly light up in the dark carriage.
Luo Chen ignored Zheng Xiaoliu, quickly opened the car curtain and looked outside, and saw that the sunlight originally shining on the sand outside the car had dimmed at some point.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, Zheng Xiaoliu was puzzled for a while, stretched his head out of the car window and looked towards the sky.
I saw a few gray clouds floating in the sky at some point, covering the sun, and there were more gray clouds floating in from the distant sky.
"No! There's a sandstorm coming!"
How could Zheng Xiaoliu, who had been in the Western Regions, not know what this was like? When he saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed.
"Quick, quick, speed up and move forward. A sandstorm is coming. There is an abandoned ancient city ahead. Let's go there to avoid the sandstorm."
"Speed up! Go faster! Go faster!"
At this time, Shen Tucan led his guards and rode camels, constantly shuttling through the caravan, urging everyone.
People often walk in the desert, how could they not know the horror of sandstorms? Needless to say, they ran forward at full speed and ran forward with all their strength.
"Master Luo, I'll drive the carriage!"
Zheng Xiaoliu no longer hid in comfort now, and jumped out of the carriage with a sullen face.
Then he sat on the shaft, took the reins and whip from the driver beside him, and whipped it on the camel with a "snap" sound.
The camel was in pain, and immediately sped up a bit more, pulling the carriage and sliding quickly on the sand.
Luo Chen, on the other hand, was still sitting cross-legged in the carriage, looking at the increasingly gray sky, frowning tightly.
"Huhu..."
Not long after, a gust of wind began to blow in the sky, and the yellow sand on the ground was gradually lifted into the sky.
"Pa bang bang..."
The wind got stronger and stronger, and more and more yellow sand was thrown up, hitting the carriage and making a lot of noise.
"Quick! Faster!"
"hurry up!"
...
Shen Tucan led his guards, covered his mouth and nose tightly with a mask, and kept urging everyone back and forth.
"well!"
With a sigh, Luo Chen couldn't sit still anymore and jumped out of the carriage.
Feeling the stinging pain caused by the yellow sand hitting his face, Luo Chen quickly tightened his mask and covered his head tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Feeling the suffocation caused by the dark sky and the yellow sky, Luo Chen suddenly felt that he was insignificant. Although he was a master who could withstand first-class warriors, in front of the mighty power of nature, Luo Chen still felt that he was so insignificant.
of incompetence.
"uh-huh!"
Just when Luo Chen was thinking wildly, a caravan man running beside him suddenly fell to the ground.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing that the man was about to be trampled by the camel running behind him, Luo Chen hurriedly dodged and pulled him out.
"Thanks...boom!"
Without waiting for the waiter to thank him, Luo Chen carried him to his carriage and threw him into the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Chen began to shuttle through the caravan. When he saw someone falling, he immediately helped him up. When he saw someone injured, he hurriedly sent him to his carriage, acting as a firefighter.
"Huhu..."
The wind became stronger and stronger, and the entire sky was filled with yellow sand. You could reach out and grab a handful. The visibility instantly shortened to three or four meters. The entire caravan could only see a few people around it.
Unable to see the road ahead, everyone could only run forward in panic and based on their feelings. Some people started to wander off in the wrong direction while running.
For this reason, Luo Chen, who had perception and was not affected by sight, hurriedly jumped up and down to guide these people to follow the large army.
"Click! Ah..."
Just as Luo Chen finished guiding a few guys who had deviated from the direction, the sled of a carriage next to him suddenly broke, the carriage tilted toward him, and a scream came from inside.
"Miss!"
On the other side of the carriage, Mu Bai, who was riding on a camel, saw this and hurriedly jumped off the camel to control the camel pulling the carriage.
But Luo Chen on the side was faster than Mu Bai. As soon as he heard the breaking sound, Luo Chen instantly pulled out the thunder knife, waved his hand and cut off the rope pulling the cart, freeing the cart from the pull of the camel.
Stopped.
After cutting the rope, Luo Chen didn't stop at all. He stretched out his right hand and reached into the carriage. When he came out again, there was already a jade hand in his hand.
"Um......"
The carriage suddenly broke and tilted. Just as Jin Shiyu in the carriage was about to fall, he was suddenly grabbed by a strong hand. Before he could react, he was pulled out of the carriage again. Jin Shiyu couldn't stand upright and suddenly fell.
He fell onto the shoulder of the person holding him.
"ah......"
Before she could see the person who saved her clearly, Jin Shiyu's face, which was not covered by the veil, was suddenly beaten painfully by the yellow sand in the sky. But in the next second, a mask was tightly wrapped around her head, blocking out the outside world.
