Eight hundred and eighty-seventh chapter is chased again
The next day, after a night's rest, Tianming and others embarked on the journey to Loulan again.
The scorching hot weather, the blowing sand, the endless loess, everything is no different from yesterday.
If I have to say there is a difference, that is that they are getting closer to Loulan.
According to Xiao Li, they will probably reach the entrance today.
However, it seems that there are some other troubles in actually entering Loulan.
Regarding this, both Shaoyu and Tianming said they had no time to care about it for the time being, and now they just wanted to get there quickly.
The three of them were riding camels, climbing a tall and sharp sandy slope, when they heard the faint sound of sand surging.
Tianming and the others looked at each other for a few times, and Tianming spoke first, "There seems to be some movement?"
Shao Yu nodded, "Well, go up and have a look."
The three of them urged Cui Luotuo and climbed up the sandy slope at high speed. After getting used to the more dazzling sunlight pouring into their eyes, they finally saw the source of the sound clearly.
Fish!
Many, big, and beautiful fish!
I can’t count the exact number at a glance, but there are always hundreds of them.
It is huge, almost no smaller than the camels under Xiao Li and others. It is dark yellow in color, has long beards and gills, and looks quite pleasant.
I saw hundreds of fish swimming up and down in the soft yellow sand, jumping up and down, raising billowing smoke and dust, and the momentum was spectacular.
Tianming was surprised, opened his mouth, and asked almost in a whisper, "Is this... a fish?"
Xiao Li nodded, "This is a dead fish. It lives in underground rivers under the desert all year round and rarely floats up to the sea of sand."
After answering, Xiao Li himself still wondered, "Strange, how come the dead fish came up collectively?"
Shaoyu thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe... something disturbed them?"
"Hmm... maybe." Xiao Li shook his head and didn't care too much.
Just run up when the dead fish comes up, just in time to see the scenery, and it will relieve the boredom of rushing in the desert.
Just when a few people were about to urge the camels to leave the place where the fish were leaping, a louder sound came.
The giant sand ships of the Qin army crashed into the large sand and stones blocking the road with a roar, and broke into the eyes of Tianming and others from the distant horizon.
Seeing the familiar pitch-black sail with the Chinese character "Qin" and the gold-plated steel hull, which could withstand any stone hammer, Xiao Li and others twitched their mouths.
What a coincidence!
Although the pursuers reappeared, they did not panic.
Isn't there still a long way to go? Just move your position quickly to avoid the Qin army.
Then just when they were about to turn their thoughts into actions, a familiar cry rang in their ears.
Xiao Li and the others quickly turned their heads to look at the direction from which the sound came. Sure enough, the broad wings and narrow tail feathers were none other than Bai Feng's vehicle, the White Phoenix.
The white phoenix flapped its wings and flew diagonally over the heads of several people in an instant. At dawn, several people even clearly saw the handsome white phoenix standing on the back of the bird.
Shao Yu frowned and shouted, "Oh no, we've been exposed!"
Needless to say, Xiao Li and Tian Ming also know this fact.
Tianming immediately shouted, "Stop talking and run away."
In just these two sentences, Bai Fenghuang had already crossed the distance between Tianming and the others and the imperial sand ship, and sent the news back.
Xiao Li and the others clearly saw the hatch of the sand boat opening, and dozens of small sand boats being ejected. At the same time, bat wings began to appear in the sky hovering.
The goals of both of them are all directed towards them.
Xiao Li glanced at the menacing Qin army and said, "No, we can't ride camels as fast as them, so we can't escape."
This area as a whole happens to be a large landslide, which is suitable for sand boats to travel, not to mention the bat wings in the sky.
Even if a camel runs with all its strength, its speed... is just that, and it will soon be overtaken.
If the three of them were driven out by the Qin Army's No. 100, they would basically be sent away.
Shao Yu gritted his teeth and said, "There is no other way, we can only give up the camel now."
They still kept the sand boat and did not throw it away because they considered that it might be useful later, and with the strength of a camel's feet, they did not care about having such a thing behind it.
This is when it comes in handy.
A few people quickly packed up their things, and after a brief debugging of the sand boat in the morning, they set off smoothly just as the Qin army was about to arrive.
With a push from Shao Yu's divine power, the boat flipped onto the sand boat. The boat successfully started to move, gliding smoothly on the sand.
The excellent fluidity of the yellow sand, coupled with the gravitational inertia of the downhill slope, allowed the sand boat to fly away from the Qin army at extremely high acceleration.
But in the end, it's still the same thing. Tianming's team's speed is not slow, and Qin Jun's is not bad either. The two sides failed to widen the gap in the first place.
Shao Yu, Xiao Li, and Xiao Xiu Xiu squatting on Tian Ming's head were all carefully guarding the Qin army behind them. After all, although they couldn't reach themselves and others with their hands, the crossbow arrows in their hands could.
Tianming has no time to worry about the trouble behind him. As the speed of the sand boat continues to increase, he must concentrate on the road ahead and carefully control the direction of the sand boat to avoid a shipwreck.
Needless to say, the vastness of the terrain in this endless desert meant that it would not be difficult for Tianming to find a smooth road without any obstacles, but what he needed now was to get rid of people.
How can we get rid of the Qin army without taking some complicated and dangerous routes?
The last time they were able to get away, the gap was relatively large at the beginning, and after Gai Nie and Xue Nu pulled away, they helped Tianming and the others sweep the tail.
This time they are on their own, and they have to do some extra work.
Fortunately, Tianming is relatively confident in this aspect.
Because at this time, it is rare for him to remain fully focused.
I saw Tianming skillfully controlling the sand boat to draw irregular curves in the yellow sand, avoiding blocks of sand and stones with ease, and passing through sand holes one after another.
The Qin soldiers who were chasing after them were not as skilled as Tianming.
Although they have been trained to drive sand boats proficiently, facing this extremely complex and dangerous environment, overturning is inevitable.
After dozens of sand boats slipped around, almost all of them were wiped out. The only one still stubbornly biting Tianming and others' butts was the one with General Fruit.
As for the bat wings in the sky, they have all been thrown away.
Although General Fruit is still following Tianming's ship, he does not have a crossbow and cannot launch flying props, so he can only pursue them hard.
The two sand boats staged a wonderful chase race in the desert.
In the end, after failing to leap over a small cliff made of sand and rocks, both sides ended up with their ships falling apart.
The people on both sides were all thrown to pieces and lay scattered on the sand, unable to get up again for a while.
