Early in the morning, Guo Twelve was awakened by the noise outside. He listened in a daze. It seemed that Qi Nanshan was lecturing, talking about talisman beasts and the like. He got up and ran outside.
Qi Nanshan stood on horseback and was talking to the group of fu martial artists and fu warriors. He found Huo Bao and asked, "What is Grandpa Nanshan doing?"
Huo Bao said: "It's nothing. Grandpa Nanshan is reminding everyone that we are about to enter the activity area of the rune beasts, so everyone should be careful."
Qi Nanshan said: "I have mentioned the precautions. In addition, the areas where the rune beasts move are often the areas where the ancient rune people move. Everyone should pay attention to the ground. If you find any bones left behind, don't let them go and check them carefully.
Looking for something useful.”
Luo Jie interjected: "If you find an abandoned building, you must report it. There are often treasures there. Remember, don't provoke a large number of rune beasts. With our ability, we can deal with two to three rune beasts without any problem. No more."
Something might go wrong, and if something goes wrong, then... someone among us will probably die in the secret realm!"
Qi Nanshan said: "Also, if you meet someone from the Mufu Sect, you will never show mercy if you can kill them. When you meet them... don't talk nonsense and chop those beasts to death immediately!"
"Pack up and prepare to leave. We don't know what we will encounter today, so everyone should be careful."
Guo Twelve discovered that Qi Nanshan had repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful, knowing that the future was not easy.
Everyone mounted their horses and left the camp under the command of Qin Nanshan.
Go all the way east.
For seven consecutive days, no ordinary beasts, let alone rune beasts, were seen. At first, some herbivores were seen, but later there were no traces of herbivores at all. This made everyone very confused and strange.
Where did that Talisman Bear you saw at the beginning come from?
The weeds on the ground gradually became sparse, revealing a large area of brown land. The air was extremely dry, and even the wind blowing on his body was warm. Guo Twelve kept wiping his sweat. He looked at the master with envy.
Surrounded by dots of talisman light, the intense heat is offset, so there is not a drop of sweat on the face.
In this scorching land, the only people who were almost unaffected were Luo Jie and Qin Nanshan, not even the fu martial artists, who were also sweating profusely.
The rumble of horse hooves broke through the silent land. Soon, the land began to become barren, and no plants or animals could be seen. This land was strange, there was no life at all.
Guo Twelve couldn't bear the dead silence. He rode a few steps after Luo Jie on his horse and came to Luo Jie's side. He said, "Master, it's very strange here... Why do I feel so uneasy?"
Luo Jie said: "Don't worry, this is the characteristic of the secret realm, the so-called changing scenery with each step. Although it is not that exaggerated, it is true. A few days ago it might have been in the ice and snow, but now it might be the hot summer. Just like
What we saw a few days ago was the vibrant prairie, but today we arrived at the lifeless Gobi Desert, which is normal."
Guo Twelve secretly murmured in his heart that the Gobi Desert is not without the breath of life. There is almost no sign of life here, just like a dead land. This is definitely not normal.
The horse team stepped through the Gobi, raising a large amount of smoke and dust. Everyone wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible. Guo Twelve couldn't help but think of a sentence from his previous life: This bird's land is the Male Desert.
Luo Zhan, who was scouting the road in front, came back with two Talisman warriors on Pegasus. When he was still a hundred meters away from the cavalry, he shouted: "Run that way! Don't stop... run that way..." His
The sound was so loud that it drowned out the rumble of horse hooves. Qin Nanshan stood up suddenly, stood on the speeding horse, and looked far into the distance. A few seconds later, he landed on the horse again and shouted: "Go to the left
...Follow me!"
There was a slight rumbling sound, and Guo Twelve turned his head to look, and saw a yellow-brown thing moving towards this side from the sky. He was surprised and said: "What is this? A sandstorm?"
Qi Nanshan took the lead and led the cavalry to turn.
Guo Twelve once again lamented the strength of the horses here. They had been galloping for three or four hours. Although they were not sprinting at full strength, they still had energy left after running for such a long time. He asked: "Master, what is that thing?"
Luo Jie's face looked a little ugly, and he said: "I don't know, it's not a good thing anyway, we should avoid it as much as possible."
The rumbling sound became louder and louder, and Guo Twelve kept turning his head to look. The child's eyesight was very good, and he could vaguely see many small black spots. Gradually, he saw clearly that they were countless wild beasts running wildly.
, followed by a curtain of violent sand that stretched from heaven to earth. He shouted: "Look, it's a beast... and there are people!"
Luo Jie turned his head, glanced at it, and shouted: "Don't worry about that, hurry up! Run quickly..."
Guo Twelve suddenly understood that even wild beasts were running like the end of the world, and one could imagine how terrifying the sand curtain behind them was. He slapped her in the face hard, and this time he was really flattering.
The speed of the cavalry increased again. Luo Jie felt unsure. He kept shouting: "If the horses are exhausted, change the horses immediately. Don't be stingy with the horsepower!" Everyone has four to five horses, and everyone keeps shouting.
Change the horse. If you find that the horse power is not enough, change the horse immediately and continue running wildly.
Fortunately, the horses are strong. As long as one person's weight is missing from their bodies, they can gradually recover even if they are still running wildly. Only seven or eight horses fell behind due to exhaustion. No one cared about the stragglers, and everyone just rode their horses and ran wildly.
They had fewer people and more horses, and the sand curtain behind them moved forward unhurriedly, not very fast, so after running wildly for about two hours, they could no longer see the sand curtain behind them, but the surroundings were even more desolate.
Qi Nanshan shouted: "Stop! Rest! Give the horses water and food. Remember... give the best concentrated feed and add some salt! Everyone, hurry up and eat some dry food and drink water."
Luo Jie said loudly: "Speed up a little faster. We'll leave as soon as the war horse regains its strength!"
Guo Twelve jumped off his horse, took out a long copper basin from the talisman bag, poured a basin of water, and gave water to his horses. After running for a long time and the unbearable heat here, the horses were already hungry and thirsty.
.
Huo Bao and others were eating braised meat, while Chen Hong was the only one feeding the horse. Guo Twelve shouted: "Leopard! Stone! Chen Bing... Put down the meat and feed the horse first! You can eat on the horse if you are hungry! Now
The war horse is the most important thing. If the horse power fails later, who will rescue you?"
Huo Bao and the others suddenly blushed, and quickly put away the stewed meat and started feeding the horses. Almost everyone was like this, and the current war horse was their life-saving horse.
Guo Twelve used a brush dipped in water to brush the horse and cool it down. Even though he was young, he still had to take care of the horse himself.
Twenty minutes later, the rumbling sound came faintly again. Qi Nanshan said loudly: "Hurry! Eat something quickly, we are ready to set off!"
This time, fortunately, there were horses from Mu Fumen. The war horses they trained were obviously stronger than those from Beifumen. Those who couldn't hold up on the road were all horses from Beifumen, while Mufumen's horses still had some strength left.
About half an hour later, the sand curtain could be clearly seen, and the wild beasts running in front of the sand curtain could also be clearly seen, and the earth was shaking slightly. Guo Twelve observed carefully and said: "That thing doesn't look like that."
Sandstorm... seems to be controlled by something."
Qi Nanshan shouted: "Get on your horse... let's go!"
Guo Twelve climbed onto the horse's back neatly and said to Huo Bao and others: "Our bodies are light, and the weight of the horses is also light. As long as we keep up with the cavalry, there is no danger. Everyone changes horses frequently, and the horse power can be maintained for a long time. Don't fall behind."
!”
The cavalry set off again.
Although the horses have not fully recovered, after a short rest, they have regained their energy. From jogging to running wildly, the horse team is getting faster and faster.
Another four hours of running, leaving Shamu far behind again. Starting in the morning, up to now, I have been running for nearly eight hours, with only less than thirty minutes of rest in between. Not to mention the exhaustion of the war horses, even the people.
It’s also a bit overwhelming.
Luo Jie said loudly: "Dashan, we need to take a rest, the horses are tired!"
Along the way, more than a dozen war horses died of exhaustion halfway. They fell to the ground while running wildly, with no possibility of treatment and no time to stop for treatment.
"It's already afternoon, and it will be dark in a few hours..."
Qi Nanshan's tone was a bit heavy. After all, war horses are animals, not machines. Continuous running has gradually exhausted their physical strength, and they cannot recover in just a few dozen minutes.
Luo Jie said decisively: "Dismount and rest!"
This time the rest was a little longer, forty minutes, but looking at the approaching sand curtain, they had no choice but to mount their horses and escape again. Everyone was very depressed, and until now, they still don’t know what the sand curtain was.
When they got on their horses, they found that many of the wild beasts running wildly in front of the sand curtain had disappeared and became sparse. There were still a few small teams mixed in, but they were too far away to see clearly.
After another four hours of running, nearly half of the horses were exhausted. Guo Twelve's five horses were intact. He separated three horses because some Fu martial artists only had one horse left. If they continued to run, they would die from exhaustion.
After the war horses, they had no horses to ride on.
There are less than sixty war horses left, and all the baggage on the horses is thrown away. Fortunately, there are hidden talisman bags to carry supplies. It doesn't matter if the spare baggage on the horses is thrown away, but the remaining horses are all
Already exhausted.
Luo Jie looked into the distance and said, "If we can find a ruins, we can take shelter for a while."
It was dusk, the horses were covered in sweat, and their heavy breathing was heart-wrenching.
Although the sand curtain was thrown away again, everyone knew that as long as they rested for a while, the sand curtain would appear again like a devil.
Suddenly, Luo Jie smiled and said, "We seem to be saved!"
