Xiao Yan stayed on Alie's back for nearly half a day. It was not until the sky was almost dark and the time was almost evening that dozens of people in his group arrived at a station surrounded by earth and rocks.
There are many carriages and tents here. Some extinguished bonfire traces on the ground tell Xiao Yan that this group of people has been here for a while. Even the carriages carrying goods are also covered with a layer of fire.
Sand and soil, this further proves Xiao Yan's suspicion.
From the dress of this team and their walking pattern, Xiao Yan roughly guessed that this group of people should be a mercenary group. It seemed that they were escorting goods.
I heard their conversation before, and the reason why this group of people wanted to kill Delang was to enter the nearest city, Wuyou City.
Because it is the only large city in the Gobi, everyone must pay a certain amount of fees to enter Wuyou City. On this journey, they have spent a lot of supplies in order to cross the desert, and now they are here
, in order to make it easier to enter the city, he chose to kill the wild wolf out of desperation, hoping to use the valuable things on the wild wolf as the cost of entering the city.
"Okay, brothers, we have been here for a while recently. Since we have collected enough to pay the fee today, without further ado, let's hit the road now. It's getting dark, so be careful. At night, those beasts can
It’s so tight, don’t let any of them tear it off!”
The middle-aged man at the head warned the whole team, and everyone nodded after hearing the words. The strong man said no more, but went straight to Alie. The others could reassure him, but only Alie was always there.
He has a heart that he can never finish.
"Uncle Feng Lun, don't worry, I will definitely be careful."
Seeing the middle-aged man coming forward, Ali nodded heavily to Feng Lun and smiled.
"Hmph, I hope so. If you follow me tonight, you won't be allowed to go."
Feng Lun spoke with a hint of resentment in his tone. As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up at Xiao Yan and said in an impatient tone:
"You come too."
When he said this, Feng Lun looked at Xiao Yan one more time. Even he himself didn't know why.
After hearing Feng Lun's words, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged next to Alie with a pale face, was slightly startled as he slowly regained his strength with the help of pills. He raised his eyes and looked at the latter, with a somewhat strange look in his eyes.
An eight-star Half-Emperor, the strongest in the entire team, wants a five-star Dou Emperor to follow behind him?
Unfortunately, Feng Lun had already passed the two of them and walked towards a tent, and could not see the expression on Xiao Yan's face.
"Haha, don't worry, little brother. Although Uncle Feng Lun looks indifferent, he is actually the most concerned about the life and death of our group. He doesn't want anything to happen to us, and always uses his best ability to protect everyone in the team.
It's a pity that I am alone... Although I also want to help him share this burden, I always disappoint Uncle Feng Lun and always cause him trouble..."
At the end of his words, there was a sense of self-blame in Ali's words, and the smile that had just appeared on his face could not help but be taken away.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, then he cupped his hands towards Ali and said:
"Thank you to Brother Allie for saving your life for what happened today. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have died at the claws of that wild wolf."
"Haha, little brother, you don't have to be polite. Wild wolves are originally our prey. In addition, we are both human beings, so it is reasonable for us to help each other."
Ali smiled, his smile looked quite comfortable and bright.
"By the way, I haven't asked my little brother's name yet."
Ali suddenly came back to his senses, as if he remembered something. When Xiao Yan heard the former's words, he was slightly startled. After a slight hesitation in his heart, he said:
"This is Xiao Yan."
"Feng Lie, they all call me Ali, you should do the same."
Xiao Yan nodded with a smile and called Alie. The latter also repeated his name. The two of them laughed face to face. Then, when Xiao Yan raised his head, he saw someone who was not far away.
In a gorgeous tent, a pretty girl in a white dress walked out slowly with gentle steps.
Slightly startled, Xiao Yan didn't explore too carefully. He didn't expect that there was a woman here, and judging from her cultivation level, among this group of people, she was one of the top three, a Seven-Star Half-Emperor.
When Xiao Yan's eyes moved up and swept over the latter's exquisite body, he saw the beautiful face like a flower roll.
Her eyebrows are as white as snow, her almond-shaped eyes are pretty, and her nose and mouth are like sandalwood.
However, although people are naturally beautiful, their intangible aloof temperament makes them feel like an iceberg snow lotus, aloof and independent, and rejecting others thousands of miles away.
"Uncle Feng, who is this person and why does he appear in our team?"
Soon, the girl noticed the look in Xiao Yan's eyes, which was very different from ordinary people's. It was not one of awe, but one of pure appreciation.
"Uh, haha, Miss Fang doesn't need to worry about it. We rescued this person on the way. When we get to Wuyou City, we will let him leave."
Seeing that the girl in front of him actually turned the conversation to Xiao Yan, a stranger, as soon as she opened her mouth, Feng Lun couldn't help but be stunned, and respectfully told the truth.
"oh."
The woman nodded slightly, and the expression on her cheek seemed to say: No wonder you dare to look at me like that.
Soon, the entire team was ready to go. The goods that had landed were put back on the carriage. Everyone also stood up. Dozens of people surrounded both sides of the carriage to protect it.
In a certain respect, the goods on this carriage are more important than their lives. This is the most cohesive expression of the mercenary group itself.
The sky quickly darkened, and the dark night sky seemed to draw a black curtain over the world. No one knew what story would unfold next, but everyone hoped that this night would be peaceful.
Windlessness is like a piece of white paper. It is better to discard it than to add unnecessary colors.
"Brother Ale, who is that woman? It seems to me that she is not from your team, right?"
Once the carriage arrived, Xiao Yan and Alie sat lazily on it. Others around them seemed indifferent. When they were bored, Xiao Yan asked about the girl out of curiosity.
"Hey, she's beautiful, isn't she? Miss Fang is the daughter of a big family. This time we are crossing the desert. In addition to transporting goods, the main purpose is to protect Miss Fang's safety. Monsters are rampant in the desert. You become
In this way, you should have a deep understanding of it."
Alie grinned, but Xiao Yan was slightly startled when he heard this. His mind immediately recalled the scene when he saw Xun Xun as a child in the broken jade slip, under the sleeve robe.
A pair of palms also clenched secretly at this moment.
