As soon as the sky got slightly brighter, the team began to gear up and set off.
Among the group of people, Ouyang Xue and Fei Shan were both Bigu warriors, and they had reached the acquired peak. There were more than a dozen people who were facing the bottleneck of advancing to Bigu.
In Liu Shuzhu's opinion, the remaining men are all high-level and first-rate. The lineup of these men, placed in the Yongliang Mountain area, is extremely gorgeous and can dominate the area!
However, the alertness on their faces remained unabated, their sentries were in place, their formations were strict and orderly, and they did not dare to slack off at all.
From the conversation last night, Liu Shuzhu also learned that in recent days, teams from other small oasis encountered sand pirates on the way to transport crystal sand. Not to mention the loss of crystal sand, the entire team was almost destroyed!
Sand bandits don't sound much different from the word "mountain bandits", but their strength cannot be underestimated. Sand bandits themselves are mixed, and they are a general term for desert bandits.
Hundreds of people gather together to kill people and steal goods, running around, which can also be called thieves.
Such small groups of sand bandits are numerous and have no fixed residence. They are usually led by a few villains who are at their peak the day after tomorrow, and their whereabouts are erratic. They are obedient people in the city, and they are thugs when they leave the city. They are like locusts passing through the border. They can also be regarded as lonely people in the desert.
It is one of the customs in which the low-level warriors suffer so much that they hate the sand pirates to the core!
The more unscrupulous a bandit is, the more unscrupulous and cruel he is, never leaving any room for maneuver!
In contrast, some sand bandits are so powerful that they can summon tens of thousands of people with a single shout, and people from all over the world respond.
Those big sand bandit forces all have their own cities and territories, and their actions are both good and evil. Just like the thieves town, they have their own rules of conduct, and they cannot simply judge good or bad.
In the Western Desert, Buddhism has a profound influence, and there are half-hidden ruined temples everywhere in the yellow sand. It has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and it is still passed down to the world. It is unique in the world and cannot be matched by any force!
If the big sand bandit can find a foothold under the nose of Buddhism, he will have a good way to survive.
It is said that for some sand bandit forces, there is only one condition for joining the gang - innate realm!
The information revealed in it can be imagined.
It seems that no matter where you go, there will be someone to do the job of a wolf with nothing!
However, Liu Shuzhu considers himself a 'good' gangster with a clear conscience. Unlike many bandits, the pure kindness in his heart has not been wiped out. The thieves town under the leadership of the three major bandit leaders have never killed innocent people indiscriminately.
Ouyang Xue ordered someone to prepare a set of clothes for him. It was a strong man's luggage. It was loose and baggy and did not fit well. The trousers and sleeves were rolled up high, and a dust-proof cloth towel was randomly wrapped around his head, making him look like a handsome man.
A giant monkey, full of joy.
He stayed up all night, meditating on those Buddha-Destroying Mudras, but could no longer find the state of enlightenment, but it was not without gains. The warm current wandered in his body intermittently for half the night, and the fatigue of the past two days was swept away.
, refreshed and energetic!
During the journey, Liu Shuzhu and Ouyang Xue walked at the front of the team and continued to ask some questions they still didn't understand.
Ouyang Xue laughed continuously, no longer as gloomy as the previous days. As the daughter of a mine owner, she had no airs of pampering, and all the laughter fell into the ears of Fei Shan and others behind the team.
Feishan said to the people around him: "Xue'er has not been as happy as she is now for a long time."
"Brother Fei, this guy's eyes are full of thieves, he talks nonsense, and he doesn't say anything reliable. He looks young, but he looks like an old man who has been running around for many years. He doesn't have the generosity that a desert man should have...
…”
Fei Shan waved his hand to interrupt him: "Don't worry, with his level of cultivation, he won't be able to achieve anything. It would be good if he could stay around to do some tricks, but he will need to be trained hard in the future. Don't do anything else yet.
Ignore it. We must not forget our status. As subordinates, we must always abide by our duties. When we get to the city, we only need to report truthfully to the young master."
The man listened to Feishan's admonishment and quickly said yes.
As for whether Liu Shuzhu has evil intentions and a hidden intention to bully men and dominate women, no one is worried. Ouyang Xue is an acquired peak, and it is not certain who will dominate who!
"By the way, Miss Xue'er, have you ever heard of the Great Wisdom, Yong Hui Fan?" Liu Shuzhu suddenly remembered the old woman's name for the great monk, "That kind of perverted monk who can turn his spit into golden lotus?"
Ouyang Xue thought for a moment, shook her head slowly, and said, "Is this the monk's dharma title?"
The Western Desert is the homeland of Buddhism. According to scriptures and allusions, it is said that Buddhism originated here and then spread to China and other regions. Over the past dynasties, Buddhism has produced so many god-defying monks that no one understands what Buddhism is.
How rich is the family heritage?
Neither the big sand bandits nor the lords of the big cities want to have grudges with Buddhism!
"Never heard of it?" Liu Shuzhu asked doubtfully, "It's impossible! Listening to the humble tone of the old woman at that time, the great monk's identity seems to be quite stinky. He can also transform and turn into a golden man in the blink of an eye..."
"The Western Desert is too big, and there are countless powerful people with great supernatural powers. It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for ordinary people like us to know everything. After all, Xifeng City is a small city, and there are no decent temples in the city.
..." Ouyang Xue glanced at Liu Shuzhu strangely, "Who is the old woman?"
Judging from what she said, Buddhism also has many schools, and it is not as simple as imagined.
Liu Shuzhu made a few casual remarks and did not tell the story of his encounter with the great monk. He secretly made up his mind that it would be better to catch a monk and ask him this kind of question.
Ouyang Xue didn't take it seriously: "The eminent monk who can turn into a golden body must be very powerful. Maybe he is the legendary Zhenwu realm..."
However, one person at the head of the team interrupted disdainfully: "Becoming a golden body, you are not talking about the Bodhisattva, are you?" There was a hint of sarcasm.
Liu Shuzhu didn't care about the other person, thinking: The real reincarnation of Bodhisattva is right in front of you, and you may not be able to recognize it!
Later, when I mentioned the ancient teleportation formation, I realized that there were also differences between long and short distance formations.
The most common one is a small teleportation array, which can only teleport tens of thousands of miles, and the number of people teleported at one time is also extremely limited. There is such a small teleportation array in Xifeng City, controlled by the three major families in the city.
As for the medium-sized formation, it can send people hundreds of thousands of miles away. The evolution of the formation pattern is much more complicated and profound, and cannot be built by ordinary forces. The large-scale formation is even more amazing, and the distance is not even hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles.
By the way, Ouyang Xue and others have never seen it with their own eyes.
Further up, the giant formations and cross-domain formations that span thousands of miles undoubtedly belong to the category of legends. The energy consumed to activate the formations would be difficult for even the innate warriors in the big cities to gather in several lifetimes!
Once one reaches the seventh heaven of the innate realm, one has the qualifications to evolve the laws of heaven and earth. He can understand the void formations and carve out ancient teleportation formations. This is also a characteristic of seventh heaven warriors.
"Can the teleportation array be carved anywhere?"
"Of course you can, but the depiction is limited to medium-sized formations and small formations. The larger the formation, the more complicated and mysterious the formation principles are. If you want to depict a more profound large-scale formation, you must possess the great supernatural power of the Zhenwu realm.
arrive!"
After experiencing many blows, I don't care if I add a few more, it's all bad luck anyway. Fortunately, the formation pattern can be understood by oneself, so that people will not be completely despaired.
According to the specifications, the teleportation array in Yanyu City should be a small formation. Even if the teleportation is successful, it will not be able to reach the far north!
I don't know if there was something missing in the words of the old bandit leader, or if there is something else hidden. The fate of the gangsters and others has become even more difficult to predict.
"Damn, this is not a good thing!"
Liu Shuzhu was extremely confused for a moment. If he didn't understand the formation, it would be impossible to guess where they were.
After walking like this for more than two days, Xifeng City was in sight, and Liu Shuzhu became familiar with the people in the team.
Especially when gathering around the bonfire in the evening, he always made everyone laugh with his witty remarks and constant fooling around. The desert man's forthright temperament greatly changed his impression.
Ouyang Xue also began to give him some tips on martial arts cultivation, and even took out a small handful of finely divided crystal sand and personally taught him the method of refining and absorbing it.
The brilliant colored light flickered in the palm of his hand, dazzling and full of beauty, which opened Liu Shuzhu's eyesight!
This kind of fine crystal sand, as Ouyang Xue said, conceals the youthful and graceful aura of the earth, which is much better than those beast elixirs and spiritual herbs. The rest of the time, Liu Shuzhu secretly meditated on the Buddha-Destroying Hand Seal.
He himself faced the threshold of an intermediate warrior. During the three-month journey to Misty Rain City, he had been practicing hard. After a lot of hard work, he broke through the obstacles in one fell swoop and advanced to the intermediate warrior level. At least he already had the skills.
Three to four hundred kilograms of strength!
Of course, among these people, he is still at the bottom of the pile, unable to compare with those first-rate men.
However, Liu Shuzhu was secretly happy in his heart and was not discouraged: "With such a heaven-defying skill, I will really develop. If you continue to practice at this speed, there is no need to worry about the innate realm!"
On the third day, just before dawn, the darkest moment before dawn, Liu Shuzhu was awakened by the sound of weapons being unsheathed.
Turning around and looking around, he saw that everyone had stood up and guarded the three-humped camel in the center. The weapons in the hands of the guards reflected the residual light of the taunting bonfire, and their expressions were alert, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Ouyang Xue and Fei Shan stood side by side, standing at the outermost edge of the team, their true energy was obvious, and the halos on their palms were hesitating!
There is a situation!
Liu Shuzhu suddenly got up and approached the team, asking in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Ouyang Xue frowned and said to him: "Sand Bandit!"
Liu Shuzhu's face showed astonishment. He followed her gaze and saw that the abrupt giant rock only showed its dark outline in the darkness. Not far away, a subtle "hunting" sound came from a tall rock.
A big flag stood.
There were also several flags planted on the surrounding rocks, four in total, with four human-shaped shadows standing under the flags, holding the flags. Because the night was too dark, Liu Shuzhu did not have the eyesight of a warrior in the Bigu stage, so he could not see the rest of the situation clearly.
.
Ouyang Xue had a sharp look in her eyes, and she told Liu Shuzhu: "Go to the middle of the team. If the situation becomes bad soon, run away for your life!"
The four flags indicate that there are at least four bandit leaders in this group of sand bandits. Among the small groups of sand bandits, those who can become the leader must at least have peak acquired strength!
On Ouyang Xue's side, she and Fei Shan were the only two people who were fasting warriors, and the number of the other party was unknown, so it was a bit tense for a while.
Fei Shan was okay, he could tell at a glance that he had experienced life and death for a long time, but although Ouyang Xue was strong, he lacked actual combat experience, which was probably not proportional to his cultivation level, and would be lacking once they fought.
Liu Shuzhu didn't feel particularly scared, but Ouyang Xue's words moved him. If it weren't for her kindness, even if he had great luck, his body would most likely be exposed in the Gobi and become a weathered mummy.
"Mysterious!"
Liu Shuzhu was originally a bandit, and he was very familiar with this method of applying pressure without fighting. Since such a method fell into his eyes, it can only prove one thing, that is, the opponent does not have absolutely overwhelming strength.
!
Otherwise, the sneak attack has already begun, so why put up a banner? It seems to be substandard and superfluous!
Liu Shuzhu turned around and ran to a strong man, shouting: "Brother Zhang, knife!"
Seeing the calmness on his face, the man nodded with great admiration, took out a spare short knife from his waist, and threw it to him.
"You little bastard, you are quite courageous!"
Liu Shuzhu held the knife in his hand again, and suddenly laughed wildly, making everyone stunned, wondering what his intention was. At this moment, Liu Shuzhu's heart was as bright as a mirror - he could never avoid what was coming, and he was timid without fighting.
Defeat is certain!
So, he shouted into the darkness in the distance at the top of his lungs:
"Haha, you guys have the nerve to be robbers, hiding behind rocks is just a fool's errand. Hiding your head and not caring about your body, your grandpa has seen you a long time ago! Stop hiding, come here if you can, and kill you guys.
You bastard!"
After he shouted, the two huge rocks shook suddenly, as if they were thrown up by invisible hands, and flew directly towards the team!
In the darkness, someone shouted angrily: "Do it!"
Dozens of figures appeared from behind the surrounding rocks, quietly forming an encirclement. There were no less than fifty or sixty people in total, charging at the three-humped camel brazenly!
Fei Shan roared violently: "Protect the lady and the goods!" As he spoke, he walked up to one of the boulders and smashed it into pieces!
They were fighting against the gravel, but a figure rushed out from behind the stone and punched him in the face. His true energy was clear. Fei Shan blocked him and the two of them were fighting together in an instant!
Ouyang Xue's colorful clothes were flying, and she used her skill to pull to avoid another boulder. Her true energy was swimming around her, like a dragon and a snake flying, and she suddenly clashed with another strong person hiding behind the rock.
Underneath, the shadows of butterflies are flying, making it difficult to distinguish each other!
Not only that, two other people rushed out diagonally to attack Ouyang Xue and Fei Shan respectively. One look at their movement skills and speed, and they knew they were bigu warriors!
The remaining minions were all shouting and charging towards the many guards. As soon as the melee broke out, swords and swords clashed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the surrounding area was in chaos!
The guards on Ouyang Xue's side were not idlers. They did not choose to stand still, but split up more than half of them to spread out in all directions. They stood in a measured position and joined the sand bandits who rushed forward to kill them!
"Xueer, be careful!" Liu Shuzhu reminded loudly.
Although others are brave, they are self-aware. In his eyes, most people are high-level warriors. In such a chaotic battle situation, if you want to save your life, you can only rely on constant movement to break away from the battle group and have a chance of survival.
!
"We have more than a day to go to West Wind City, but we bumped into a sand bandit here!"
Turning over the hand-held knife, the blood in his body was surging. Halfway through, Liu Shuzhu suddenly felt a warning sign. He felt the chill behind him. He had no time to avoid it. He turned around and swung the knife without hesitation, and was facing a heavy mace with an iron thorn.
It was so ferocious that it almost hit him!
clang!
The mace connected with the dagger, and Liu Shuzhu was knocked to the ground immediately. The huge force made the tiger's mouth numb, and the dagger left his hand, but fortunately it did not hurt any vital parts. The opponent was clearly a first-rate warrior, but his moves were not necessarily what he wanted.
clever!
The big man with the mace had a venomous face and a bloodthirsty cold light in his eyes: "Hey, little bastard, let's see where you go if you keep your mouth dirty!"
Liu Shuzhu fell to the ground, swallowed a mouthful of blood from his throat, and suddenly got up in a pretense of panic, "Brother, I'm one of my own! Don't do anything yet! You forgot, I am an undercover agent!"
"Undercover?" The big man with the mace was slightly startled. His subordinates hesitated for a moment, but in fact they didn't take Liu Shuzhu seriously at all.
But in the gap between these words, Liu Shuzhu suddenly kicked out his vaginal leg. It couldn't be more straightforward, kicking towards the crotch of the man with the mace!
"Yes, undercover!" he roared violently, "Undercover!"
