At dusk, the golden sunshine slowly disappeared behind the mountains, leaving only a little afterglow. At this time, the spring clothes almost turned red, giving people a bleak atmosphere. The wind blew by, and a burst of yellow sand
It filled the sky and covered the sky.
However, this scene did not bring any sense of desolation and sadness to the villagers. On the contrary, at this moment, they all looked happy, and their red faces were filled with joy. Not for anything else, just because they would
, no longer have to worry about this epidemic.
Xiaohua also worked hard all afternoon and was so tired that his forehead was covered with sweat. He lost his previous reserve and rolled up his sleeves and casually wiped the sweat from his face. He was also very happy. For some reason, he saw the joy of the villagers.
When he saw his expression, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
At this time, Big Beard and Mo Qing had been surrounded, and the villagers were grateful and prostrated. As for Xiaohua, he did not join in this lively carnival. Because he suddenly remembered something, Wu Zheng seemed to
He was also tied to a chair and unable to move.
So Xiaohua hurriedly turned around and looked at the place where the chair was placed. At this moment, Wu Zheng was close to shock. His lips kept trembling and looked a little shriveled, and his face was bloodless, as if he had been suffering from a long illness.
old man.
Xiaohua couldn't help but feel moved. He felt that Wu Zheng was saying something, because he could clearly see the other person's lips moving irregularly. Then Xiaohua moved closer to the other person's mouth and put her ears as close as possible.
Then, Xiaohua heard Wu Zheng keep muttering: "Xiaohua, you'll get a thousand cuts."
Okay, Xiaohua raised her eyebrows. If you get hit with a thousand blows, just get a thousand blows. After all, Wu Zheng is the main hero this time, so let’s not argue with him for the time being.
In the evening, several people were assigned to rooms. Although the house still looked shabby, it was the best treatment in the village. The house was very simple, but fortunately the beds were enough, so everyone lit candles.
, and got into the house.
I have to say that Wu Zheng's recovery ability, after eating, he became lively again. However, Xiaohua always felt that Wu Zheng was keeping a distance from her intentionally or unintentionally. He didn't care much, Wu Zheng
Fighting over a child's temper may be forgotten in a few days.
But at this moment, Mo Qing asked: "Wu Zheng's recovery ability seems to be stronger than ordinary people?"
The corner of Xiaohua's mouth curled up, and he knew that Mo Qing would ask this question. In fact, not only Mo Qing, but also the bearded man had always had this question in his mind.
Now that the words have been spoken, Xiaohua naturally no longer needs to hide for Wu Zheng. So he said calmly: "You should already know after the last time, Wu Zheng is not a human being."
"Not a human?" Even though Mo Qing and Big Beard had learned the secret, they still couldn't help but express surprise when they heard Xiao Hua's narration.
However, the word "not a human being" had a different meaning in Wu Zheng's ears. Why did he feel that Xiaohua was scolding him? Could it be an illusion?
"But." At this moment, Mo Qing asked his question again: "As far as I know, even if you are not a human being, you cannot have such a terrifying recovery ability."
"That's right." Xiaohua nodded and continued: "Speaking of which, Wu Zheng's body is quite special. He is a half-demon.
.And his blood has some special effects."
"Oh?" Mo Qing couldn't help but cast a playful glance at Wu Zheng, who was sitting in the corner, rubbing his stomach to aid digestion. Originally, he was opposed to Wu Zheng, so he just regarded him as a greedy and fearful person.
But after hearing Xiao Hua's narration, he couldn't help but look at Wu Zheng with new eyes. The great hermit is hidden in the city, but the master is among the people!
Xiaohua did not disclose other things about Wu Zheng. On the one hand, those were just some of Xiaohua's guesses. On the other hand, it was not a good thing to let them know too much.
There was no talking all night, and the next day, a few people didn't stay in the village much, and left in a hurry on horseback. The few people left so silently that the villagers didn't notice until they were far away from the village. From then on
After that, a statue was erected in the village, and it was clearly carved in the shape of a little flower.
After having been delayed for a long time, Xiaohua and the four of them sped up again. They rode on horseback for several days without any incident. According to Big Beard, they were not far from the extreme south. In fact, there was no need for Big Beard.
Said that the changes in the surrounding environment have been obvious.
The trees beside the road are already lush and lush. Large expanses of green grass grow on the ground, filling the field with a sea of green.
"This is the land of the extreme south?" Wu Zheng couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't you say that the land of the extreme south is almost barren of grass and is a barren land?"
Everyone did not answer, but continued to ride on horseback. Gradually, Wu Zheng could feel that the trees began to become sparse, and from the beginning of the sky and the sun, they gradually became scattered.
Finally, after another burst of fast horses, the bushes finally came to an end. In front of the bushes, it turned into a large grassland, but the grass here was much sparser than before.
Xiaohua sat on the horse, looked into the distance, and then said: "There is a Gobi desert in front of us. We should be able to easily avoid Nanyao Kingdom's pursuit by walking from here."
When Mo Qing and the bearded man heard this, they both nodded and had no objections. Only Wu Zheng felt a little guilty and couldn't help but said: "Why don't we change our route? After all, there aren't even a single family here."
However, no one paid any attention to Wu Zheng, so they just assumed that Wu Zheng had farted. Wu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth, sniffed again, and said nothing.
Xiaohua's plan like this was really too safe. After the last battle, he knew Nanyao's strength well. Since they can send out one incarnation realm, there will definitely be a second one and a third one...
Although the Gobi Desert seems dangerous, it is undoubtedly the fastest way to the extreme south. What's more, the Gobi Desert is not the same as the desert. The so-called desert is truly a restricted area for humans. Not only is it
We are always in danger of dying of thirst and starvation, and we must always be on guard against wind and quicksand.
The Gobi is different. Although it is also dry, it is not without any water. Moreover, in this kind of terrain, the surface is not all flowing sand, which also brings great possibilities for horseback riding.
After checking the food and water again, Xiaohua gave the order. Then the few people sat down and the horses galloped into the endless next door.
The four of them carried food for about five days. Considering the heat of the Gobi, they carried more water. According to reports
It was said that Big Beard had been here before, and he had only traveled for three days on horseback before reaching the far south. Therefore, five days was enough for him to lead the way.
After entering the Gobi, Wu Zheng felt as if his skin was on fire. The surrounding environment was like a big furnace, constantly burning him. The horse also seemed a little tired. Because of the terrain, it was always deep when stepped on.
One foot is shallow and the other foot is shallow.
Speaking of which, the most suitable means of transportation in this kind of place is the camel, and animals like horses are really not suitable. However, there are no camels at the moment, so I have to temporarily use the horse as a camel, and keep telling myself in my heart that this is a camel.
After marching for a whole day, the group of people had reached deep into the Gobi. Here, the group of people found a sheltered position and stopped. The Gobi Desert was very cold in the evening, but fortunately there were grasses in the shade here.
With old trees growing, firewood can still be found.
When several people were preparing to have dinner, Xiaohua suddenly slapped his head and felt that something was not good. His reaction aroused the alert of Wu Zheng and the others. They thought that an enemy was coming, so they stood up and made a fighting posture. However, they
Seeing Xiaohua shaking her head and sighing, she said: "We forgot to calculate the horse's consumption."
Hearing Xiaohua's words, Big Beard also felt bad. He also forgot about this matter. He just felt that the four people brought five days of reserves, which was definitely enough, but they all forgot one thing without exception.
Horse consumption.
They could only rely on these four horses to travel in the Gobi, and they even forgot to reserve such an important means of transportation for them.
Xiaohua pondered for a while, then asked a question: "We still have two options now. One is that we go back and resupply before coming in. In this way, we will not take too much risk, but the time
A lot will be wasted.”
"This is good, let's play it safe." Wu Zheng waved his hand in agreement.
Xiaohua naturally knew that Wu Zheng would choose this way, but he didn't say anything else and said the second option. "Secondly, we just continue to move forward. Although the risk is relatively high, considering that a lot of time has been wasted before, this
It is undoubtedly the best choice.”
After Xiaohua analyzed the pros and cons, there was still silence. This was another difficult choice, and if the choice was wrong, it would most likely cost three human lives and one non-human life.
"What do you think?" Xiaohua continued to ask.
Still silent, it was not until a long time later that I heard Mo Qing say: "I have no objection, anything is fine. Anyway, I joined later, so I will just follow you."
When Xiaohua saw what Mo Qing said, she couldn't help but frowned. She looked at the bearded man on the side and asked, "What do you think?"
The bearded man stroked his beard, grinned and said, "Sajia thinks we can keep going."
"Oh?" Xiaohua was surprised by the bearded man's answer.
But I heard the bearded man analyze: "There is no need to be surprised. Although we have not prepared supplies for the horses, there is a lot of dry grass here. I believe this is enough for them to eat. As for the water, we will give them some water."
, it’s okay if we drink less.”
"What's more." At this point, the bearded man paused deliberately.
