Ye Youyou's reaction made Wang Ningning next to her nervous.
"Probably not. Although this person is said to have been harmed by Haotian Pavilion, we don't know the specific situation yet, so don't rush to conclusions."
Wang Ningning looked at the man who had just died. There was nothing on him except a broken sword. There was not even a human habitation in this desolate land. All he could see was a few circling crows.
I couldn't help but feel a little fear in my heart.
"Youyou, let's leave quickly. This place is so gloomy, so it's best to leave as soon as possible."
Ye Youyou was not afraid at this time. Instead, she was increasingly worried about Zhou Tian. She looked into the distance and her heart sank: "Sister Ning, they say that most Haotian Pavilions are incarnated with crows. Could it be that there are swarms in this sky?"
Are these crows from Haotian Pavilion?"
Wang Ningning took a closer look and saw that what Ye Youyou said seemed to make sense, because she looked carefully and found that these groups of crows were all flying in the same direction. It seemed that someone had done it deliberately, so they looked at the sky carefully.
The crow walks vertically across the wasteland.
After walking for who knows how long, Wang Ningning looked into the distance and seemed to see the end.
"Youyou, look if there is no road ahead!"
Ye Youyou was a little anxious and rushed forward. When she took another look, she shouted with joy: "Sister Ning, come on! Come and see what is this?"
When Wang Ningning saw this, she hurried over and saw that this was not the end, but a stone tablet with very vague writing on it.
"Xi Huan?"
"This is the Xihuan Boundary Monument!"
Ye Youyou and Wang Ningning breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and said with a smile: "It's not easy. We finally arrived at Xihuan. After crossing here, we will reach the land of Xihuan. Are you ready?"
Ye Youyou nodded without hesitation and said very seriously: "That's natural. Now that I have come to Xihuan, I must always be prepared to fight with those beasts in Haotian Pavilion. No matter what, I want to see brother Zhou Tian."
.”
After that, the two of them walked slowly towards the back of the boundary monument.
After walking a few steps, there was a whooshing sound and an arrow was shot at the two of them. Due to Wang Ningning's quick reaction, the moment she heard the sound, she dragged Ye Youyou and hid aside.
"Be careful! There is an ambush!"
Wang Ningning glanced coldly into the distance and saw a man wearing a white cotton-padded jacket slowly walking towards here with a bow and arrow. Just as Wang Ningning was about to fight back, the man bent his bow and arrow again, stepped sideways, and hid again.
past.
"Who is this person? Why is he always chasing us?"
Ye Youyou was very puzzled. After thinking for a while, she shouted loudly: "Who is in front of you? Why did you shoot someone with an arrow?"
Wang Ningning was startled and hurriedly covered her mouth: "Youyou, what are you doing? It's obvious that this person is going to kill us, and you still want to reveal your location!"
"It's dusk right now, so there's not enough light, so he missed the shot. If you act like this, we'll suffer a lot!"
Ye Youyou didn't feel this way. After letting go of her hand, she said softly: "I don't think so. Didn't you notice that after I shouted just now, there was no movement on the other side?"
Wang Ningning was also curious. She glanced cautiously into the distance and saw this man walking towards here with a bow and arrow. Because it was a wilderness and there was no tall grass to cover them, they could only lie on the ground and were very nervous at this time.
"Youyou, if something happens later, you must find a way to leave first. I don't know the details of this person. If you can't defeat him, you must get out of danger as soon as possible."
Ye Youyou smiled: "It's okay, don't worry. People in Haotian Pavilion will not act like this when they see a Qi cultivator. I guess this person should be an ordinary person or a Qi cultivator."
While the two were discussing, this man was already standing in front of them. Wang Ningning took a closer look. He had a rough face. The bow and arrow in his hand looked more like he was made by himself. The white cotton-padded jacket he wore looked like it belonged to an animal. Then he calmed down.
After taking a look, he looked down at Ye Youyou and said with a smile: "You girl, you are really smart. This person should be an ordinary citizen."
After hearing this, Ye Youyou stood up, turned around and looked around, then asked with a smile:
"Excuse me, are you hunting in this area?"
The man looked at them for a long time, then put the bow and arrow behind his back, turned around and looked at the boundary monument not far away, and then focused on them.
"Did you two come from the other side of the boundary monument?"
Wang Ningning nodded quickly without thinking: "Yes, we just arrived in Xihuan and were almost killed by you with one arrow!"
The man thought for a moment, then turned back and pointed not far away.
"This is the south side of Xihuan. Xihuan is divided into two directions. You are walking on the south side, and the north side is where there are many sects. Judging from the outfits of the two of you, you should be Qi cultivators. It seems that you
You are in the wrong direction!"
After listening to this person's words, Ye Youyou took a careful look and said, "This guy looks to be about 20 years old. Why is he dressed in such a mess? Are all the safari people south of Xihuan?"
Wang Ningning also discovered that this man was not only poorly dressed, but his body, hair and skin were also a bit rough.
The man smiled, his dark face revealing a row of white teeth: "Haha, you are half right."
"The land of Xihuan, as we all know, is the territory of Patriarch Haotian. However, a hundred years ago, Xihuan was just a land of nomadic herding and planting. The north side was good at growing food, and the south side was good at hunting. When Patriarch Haotian first came,
, I originally wanted to occupy this place, because the people here are very tough. If we are allowed to join Haotian Pavilion, it will be even more powerful."
"But we hunters don't bother to join any sect, not to mention that Haotian Pavilion refused directly, but we never thought that Patriarch Haotian would become angry because of this and slaughtered hundreds of people south of Xihuan in one night. We
The leader of the safari tribe vowed to fight to the death and led his people to resist, perhaps because there were not enough Haotian ancestors at that time. After four days and four nights of desperate resistance, we drove him to the north of Xihuan."
"I heard that most of the area north of Xihuan is now controlled by the Haotian Ancestor, so I'm telling you that if you want to join the Haotian Pavilion or take revenge on the Haotian Pavilion, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place.
Got a place."
This person said a lot, just to dissuade Ye Youyou and the others.
But after hearing this, Wang Ningning and Ye Youyou laughed: "You don't have to drive us away. First of all, we didn't come to Xihuan to participate in some bullshit Haotian Pavilion. Secondly, we didn't want to fight against those sects. We just came here to find a way.
People, since we came here by accident, as long as you welcome us, we can still stay for a while."
Wang Ningning's words were quite contagious, and the man smiled after hearing this: "In this case, we safari hunters should be welcome, but it will be very cold here late at night, and safari hunters do not have fixed residences.
It’s just a temporary tent, do you mind?”
Ye Youyou waved her hand: "What kind of tent is not a tent? How much I suffered after my father died, a mere tent is nothing."
"May I ask my brother's name? Please lead us."
Wang Ningning looked at Ye Youyou from the corner of her eye and whispered in her ear: "Youyou, we are here to find Zhou Tian. Zhou Tian must be north of Xihuan. What I mean is to stay here for a day and then we leave.
As for the name, don’t ask too much about the tent.”
Seeing Wang Ningning's cautious look, Ye Youyou smiled and responded softly: "Sister Ning, in Luo Yucheng, you killed everyone in the past, and you were not afraid of anything. But you are worried about a mere hunter.
It's fine."
"This person just said that their clan leader personally took the lead in fighting with Ancestor Haotian. I just want to find out if there is anything else in Xihuan that we need to pay attention to. Do you know your enemy and your friend?"
Wang Ningning heard what she said so clearly, she shook her head and said to this person: "Okay then, just listen to her, and please lead the way!"
To the south of Xihuan, although it looks on the map that the temperature here is suitable and the vegetation is thick, but after the intrusion of the Haotian Ancestor, it has become barren and wasteland is everywhere. There are also countless wild animals that occasionally appear.
, and the safari here often have no food to eat and live in poverty.
This man led them walking in the wilderness. Not only were they shivering with cold along the way, but the silence everywhere was eerie.
As Ye Youyou walked, she leaned closely beside Wang Ningning and asked
This person: "Brother, we've been walking for so long, why haven't we seen the tribe you mentioned? The tribesmen?"
Wang Ningning was also a little suspicious, and her eyes gradually became sharper.
"Yes, it's almost evening now. Are you lying to us?"
While speaking, Wang Ningning grabbed the scarlet red light behind him, but this person said expressionlessly: "You have also seen here, there is no prey at all in the wasteland. If we camp here, not only will we not have any food,
, and there isn’t even water, so we have to find the water source first, and then find an area with more animals.”
"It's natural to go a little further."
After Wang Ningning heard this, she grabbed Chi Hongming and hung it behind her. Ye Youyou felt that it was a bit boring to just keep walking, so she asked a lot of questions.
After inquiring, they learned that the reason why the land here was so depleted was because the south of Xihuan and the north of Xihuan had been in conflict for a long time, which caused the land here to be almost depleted of resources used by their hunters.
While listening to the story told by this person, Ye Youyou shook his head and sighed sadly: "We are all the people of Xihuan, why did this situation happen? It seems that even if the ancestor Haotian doesn't come to grab the territory, you guys
The ending may be the same."
The man didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.
After about a few hours, the man suddenly stopped and tapped the distance with the index finger of his right hand.
"Look carefully at the slowly rising smoke in the distance, it's coming soon!"
Ye Youyou took a closer look in the direction the person pointed, and sure enough, there were several lights from campfires and black fireworks rising, and then she frowned.
He turned his head and asked, "Since you are safari people, why don't you ride a horse? Don't you use horses for safari?"
Having said this, the man's eyes dimmed again, and he suddenly stopped and sighed.
"Speaking of horses, we hunters not only owned them more than ten years ago, but horses can be seen everywhere. But look at the land under your feet. It is so dry and cracked, with no grass growing on it. How can you keep horses alive? It has been so many years.
Most of the horses here were already dead, and the rest were eaten by us as meat."
Speaking of this, Wang Ningning couldn't help but shake her body and folded her hands in front of her chest.
"I can't even imagine that there are people in such embarrassment in this world..."
"Abba! Abba! You are back!"
Just when Wang Ningning and Ye Youyou were sighing, a half-year-old child ran over wearing a gray animal skin with three black stripes on his face. He ran over barefoot and looked extremely cute with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, the man also laughed, squatted down and opened his arms.
In the blink of an eye, there was a pop and the child bumped into this person's arms. The person picked up the child and smiled at Wang Ningning and Ye Youyou: "You're not scared, are you? This is my doll."
"Quick, call me sister!"
The child looked at it carefully with his innocent eyes intelligently, and then said very sweetly: "Hello, sisters."
Ye Youyou's heart was completely melted by this sound, and she stretched out her hands to touch the child's chubby face.
"This child is so cute, but why is he so embarrassed? Don't you safari people even be able to take care of children?"
The man put the child on the ground, then took his young little hand and thought for a while.
"When you first came here, you already saw that after walking for so long, there was not even a single household nearby. In this wilderness, there are only a hundred or so of us hunters, how can we take care of newborn babies and half-grown children?
, I can only survive..."
After saying this, the person took the child and walked away.
Ye Youyou and the others looked at each other and followed closely.
Looking around, there were several huge tents in front of them, and several small tents behind them. The surroundings were filled with bonfires. Although it was much warmer, at first glance, they felt a bit more desolate. Standing in front of these tents were
There were many half-year-old children staring at them. The innocence in their eyes and the desire for the outside world made Ye Youyou
I burst into tears involuntarily.
At this time, an old woman slowly walked over.
His dark face was covered with wrinkles, and his thin torso seemed to be blown over by a breeze, but he still had a smile on his face.
"These two girls were just brought here by my son?"
Wang Ningning nodded hurriedly and said very politely: "Exactly, we are unfamiliar with the place and bumped into this place by mistake. Please don't be offended."
But the old woman shook her head, stretched out her wrinkled hands and touched her shoulders and said with a smile: "Where are you talking? We safari people are discussing about moving south, and you two just came over to give us ideas.
"
Ye Youyou was startled by the old woman's words, and asked hurriedly: "Moving south? Are you going to the south of Xihuan? But I heard from your son that there has always been disharmony between the south of Xihuan and the north of Xihuan. What if the south
Will it be possible to move..."
At this time, a strong man came over with a javelin. Although he looked quite strong, he had lived in this place for many years, and his physical fitness must be a bit weaker than that of a normal person.
"It's okay. There is a sect leader north of Xihuan. He has been in contact with us for many years and said that he will help us move south these days and will integrate us into his sect. But in recent months,
Suddenly there was no movement, so we discussed tonight and wanted to go find him in person."
After hearing this, Ye Youyou thought for a moment and asked curiously: "Excuse me, which sect wants to recruit you?"
The strong man said with a smile: "You may not believe it, but it is the Tianjian Sect known as the second sect in the world..."
