"Lord, there are dead bodies around here, something is very strange!"
Zhao Feng followed Huo Ling Tianxie and came to a battlefield that had just ended. Hundreds of Uighur warriors and several Tang cavalry were lying in a pool of blood, including men and horses. The blood had not completely dried up. The strangest thing was that these people
In addition to the wounds left by the battle, the chest and abdomen were all cut open on the body, and all the internal organs were missing.
"this?"
Zhao Feng examined twenty or thirty people and found that all of them had their internal organs removed after death.
"Lord, why did these people die in such weird ways?" Huo Ling Tianxie was very puzzled by what he saw in front of him.
"There must be some kind of cult or force here, and they use internal organs to make elixirs!"
"Alchemy?" Huo Lingtianxie didn't know how to make alchemy. He followed Zhao Feng and knew that various elixirs or minerals were needed to make alchemy.
"Master, I once said that some races, such as goblins, have some evil religions. They use various internal organs to make elixirs, especially the internal organs of warriors. These cavalry are not weak. The internal organs that were all disemboweled must be
It was taken to make elixirs."
A scream of war horses came from the east, and at the same time there was a faint sound of fighting.
Zhao Feng and Huo Ling Tianxie quickly came to another high slope, facing away from the direction of the battle between Tang Dynasty cavalry and Uighur cavalry. A strangely dressed cavalry was fighting with several outsider knights. Several ownerless horses
, and kept wailing.
"Why are they?" Zhao Feng was very happy to see these people, although he couldn't figure out why they were here.
"Tian Xie, be alert, I'll go help them!"
Zhao Feng rushed down the high slope, jumped on a red war horse, and rushed towards the outsider.
"Chief, Khan ordered us to fight quickly and not reveal our identity!"
On another high slope, two knights watched the battlefield calmly. One of them waved his scimitar and made a short sound.
After reaching the high slope, fifty cavalry immediately rushed up. With these fresh troops, the outsiders were obviously alone.
"Chef, my brothers won't be able to eat the delicious food you cooked today! We brothers will cover you, and every one of us can run away!"
"No, if we want to stay together, I can't be unloyal and abandon you!"
Sun Guangcai and his fifteen brothers have been fighting fiercely since the morning. More than half of them have died, hundreds of people have been killed, and everyone is exhausted.
"Brother Sun, don't panic, I'm here!" Zhao Feng galloped on his horse and rushed to Sun Guangcai and others like a gust of wind. In his hand, the purple electric flying dragon and bright silver spear stabbed out like lightning. In a moment, two knights of unknown origin were killed in the battle.
More than ten riders.
"Boss, you are here!" Sun Guangcai saw Zhao Feng coming and was excited: "Brothers, the boss is here, we are saved!"
"If you go west, someone will meet you!"
Zhao Feng shouted, then rode straight towards the knight who had just rushed down the hill to kill him. The purple electric flying dragon thrust forward with its bright silver spear, and a fire dragon flew out.
"Quickly retreat, they are strangers from the Tang Dynasty!"
On the high slope, the foreign leader shouted loudly, but it was too late. The fire dragon swept through fifty knights, and these knights, including their horses and men, were turned into ashes.
When Zhao Feng saw that the alien leader was about to run, he took out the Red Flame Fire Cloud Bow and shot an arrow. The sound of the rocket piercing the air was heard endlessly. Behind the high slope, there was a boom and explosion, and the alien leader and his followers were reduced to ashes.
Zhao Feng wanted to go back with his horse, but the horse under his crotch let out a mournful cry. The horse stumbled and fell to the ground. Zhao Feng had no choice but to abandon the horse, jumped down, and ran back all the way.
"Brother Sun, why are you here? You arrived in the Tang Dynasty more than ten years ago. Why do you appear in this desert?"
Faced with Zhao Feng's series of questions, Sun Guangcai shook his head: "Boss, it's hard to explain. After we arrived in Datang, we went through a series of fierce battles. Those who couldn't fight together, like our brothers, became refugees on the border of Datang.
.”
"Is there anyone who persisted until the end?" Zhao Feng asked.
"Maybe. We were eliminated early. We don't know who will survive until the end!"
Zhao Feng nodded silently. He did not expect that Guan Wen, Gan Xiaoxiao and others did not directly enter the Tang Dynasty. Now that the brothers are scattered everywhere, it may be even more difficult to meet each other.
"Not bad, your strength has improved!" Zhao Feng looked at Sun Guangcai and was quite satisfied: "By the way, Brother Sun, do you have food?"
"It's gone!" Sun Guangcai spread his hands and shook his head: "It's gone a long time ago. Recently, we have been relying on robbing houses to survive!"
"Robbery?" Zhao Feng was stunned.
Sun Guangcai smiled bitterly: "There are many bandits in this desert who specialize in robbing merchants on the Silk Road, and we specialize in robbing them!"
"I see!"
Along the way, Zhao Feng rarely saw any living people except for the small tribes that gathered at the water source.
At this time, the environment in the desert of the Tang Dynasty, the Anxi Protectorate, and the Beiting Protectorate was much better than a thousand years later. Water sources were not uncommon. However, this generation was not safe, and bandits often appeared.
, the Tang border troops were powerless.
Thinking that the Uighur army and the Tang army were still fighting fiercely, Zhao Feng asked: "Why did the Tang army fight with the Uighur cavalry? Do you know the reason?"
Sun Guangcai looked at the other five people, who all shook their heads: "We don't know much about this matter. A few years ago, we heard that the Uighurs merged with the Tang Dynasty and accepted the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, but recently there have been frequent fierce battles between the two sides."
Sun Guangcai remembered something: "Last year, I heard that the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty joined forces to defeat Jieli Khan, but this year there are weird things happening one after another!"
Zhao Feng got some discontinuous clues and decided to go and see for himself. Sun Guangcai learned of his intention and hurriedly grabbed him.
"Absolutely not. We don't have a clearance warrant to enter the Tang Dynasty. Approaching the Tang army will cause us to lose our cultivation and even die without a burial place!"
Zhao Feng was even more surprised when he heard this: "Have you been unable to enter the Tang Dynasty for so many years without going?"
"Yes, there were originally many of us, and we planned to join forces to complete the task of obtaining the customs clearance warrant. But who knew that this task involved the demon clan, and the brothers suffered heavy losses, so they no longer planned to complete the task. Just hang out for a day.
Just one day!”
Speaking of this, Sun Guangcai and others looked frustrated. They have been wandering in the desert for almost ten years. Because of the language barrier and the fact that they are outsiders, they cannot be accepted by the locals at all. They can only go hungry.
They wandered around for a while. In order to survive, Sun Guangcai and others even acted as bodyguards for the caravan.
"Boss, it'll be great to see you!" Sun Guangcai couldn't help but burst into tears thinking of his dead brother and his missing family members.
"Brother Sun, don't be sad, I will definitely take you to find other brothers, and we can explore this world together!"
Zhao Feng took Sun Guangcai and others to find a sheltered place, set up a tent and took out food.
