Chu Feng's eyes flashed with cold light, and he thrust forward with one hand. A purple rope suddenly appeared and shot towards the black monster wolf.
The strange wolf instinctively felt that danger was coming, and without any hesitation, he immediately planned to escape at high speed. However, the purple rope was not only as fast as lightning, but also seemed to have consciousness, and it wrapped around its neck in an instant.
"Ouch——"
A brutal roar followed, and it was obvious that the chained wolf was in extreme pain. Unfortunately, no matter how hard it struggled, there was no possibility of escaping.
This purple rope was originally transformed by Xiao Zi, and flame is the root. As Chu Feng's thoughts moved, the purple flame appeared instantly and quickly spread all over the strange wolf's body.
The strange wolf only lasted a few breaths, and was burned to death in the blink of an eye.
Stepping forward, Chu Feng suddenly fell silent when he looked at the dead 'Zheng Qingqing'. Although his expression was painful, he was more confused.
"Are you her?"
At this time, Chu Feng's heart was extremely complicated, and he was not sure whether the woman in front of him was the real Zheng Qingqing.
When he set out yesterday, he suddenly noticed that the aura of the other party that was exactly the same as Ling'er's had disappeared, as if he was a completely different person.
At that time, he didn't expose it, he just wanted to wait and see what happened, hoping to find some clues. Unfortunately, he didn't get anything yet, and the other party died first. In this way, all the clues were broken.
"Whether it's true or not, I can't let you die in vain. Just wait for a while and let me avenge your bloodshed."
After saying that, Chu Feng suddenly turned around and left quickly outside the tent.
The black mist filled the air and nothing could be seen clearly. Screams could be heard in the surrounding camps. It was obvious that many people had been murdered.
Chu Feng looked stern and said coldly:
"Xiao Zi, go ahead and kill all these beasts without leaving a single one behind."
"Master, don't worry, leave it all to me."
The crisp voice recalled, and in the next moment, only a purple light flickered, illuminating the void. Endless purple flames suddenly appeared, and in an instant, like thousands of spiritual snakes, they swept away into the black mist.
The black mist is indeed strange, but after all, it is just a mortal thing. When it encounters an innate flame like purple fire, it suddenly becomes vulnerable.
A short moment passed, and only bursts of roars could be heard one after another. Soon, there was no sound. As for the black mist itself, it was like ice disintegrating, and it was burned away in the blink of an eye.
"Woooo..."
Crying and wailing sounds came and went, and it was obvious that there were many injured people.
The scene in front of him was indeed a bit miserable. Chu Feng recalled Xiao Zi, his eyes swept across the camp, and he could see everything clearly in an instant.
"Chu... Mr. Chu, did you save us?"
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came, and it turned out to be none other than Liu Chengfeng, the chief escort officer. At this time, the other party's face was pale, covering an injured arm, and his eyes were full of gratitude.
"Chu knows some Qihuang techniques. You should go and count the casualties right away. Send over all the serious ones."
"Thank you for saving my life, sir, I'll go right away." Liu Chengfeng expressed his gratitude promptly, but did not dare to hesitate and quickly turned around and left.
Chu Feng looked to another place, which was in the direction of Mrs. Wei. The other party had already walked out of the tent and was looking after his maid and servant with concern.
As if she was aware of the gaze, Mrs. Wei turned around subconsciously, and just in time to see him, she was slightly startled, then reacted and nodded.
…
The dark night passed and the sky became brighter.
In an open space somewhere in the oasis, all the surviving people were standing here, looking at the blazing flames in front of them, their expressions full of sadness.
According to statistics, one-third of the escort team members died completely. The bodies of these people cannot be taken away and can only be cremated on the spot. Their ashes will be taken back by everyone and given to their relatives.
"Where is Mr. Chu?"
Suddenly, Liu Chengfeng seemed to have just noticed that something was missing around him. Looking carefully, it was Mr. Chu who was missing.
"Miss Zheng died unexpectedly. Mr. Chu went to say goodbye to her." Mrs. Wei walked up and explained.
"Why--"
Liu Chengfeng sighed, but didn't know what to say. If it weren't for the other party's powerful methods, the chance of survival this time would be slim.
"We all owe Mr. Chu our lives, but unfortunately we can't do anything to help him."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that we would encounter evil beasts." Mrs. Wei shook her head slightly and then said,
"I'll leave this to you. I'll go see him."
"Madam, please ask. If Mr. Chu needs anything, just ask. Even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire, we will never refuse."
Mrs. Wei nodded, waved her hand to stop the servant from following her, lightly picked up her clothes and walked towards the oasis somewhere alone.
…
This is the bleakest place in the oasis. Chu Feng stood here. A short mound had already been built in front of him, which was the grave of 'Zheng Qingqing'.
Of course, he could not confirm the other party's true identity, so he could only set up a tombstone for the other party with this name.
Mrs. Wei walked over slowly, looking at the lonely figure standing there motionless, she felt an inexplicable concern in her heart.
"How are you?"
"Madam?" Chu Feng came back to his senses and saw the figure of the other party.
"I know you are saying goodbye to Miss Zheng, but I don't dare to come over and disturb you easily. I hope Mr. Chu will be considerate and accommodating."
"Thank you."
Chu Feng nodded. He was indeed a little sad, but it was only because of the passing of a life. As for the pain, for some reason, he didn't feel much pain in his heart. Based on his guess, maybe the other party was really not dead, but what was he doing?
The place is unknown.
Mrs. Wei didn't know this, so she thought he didn't want to talk more about it, and then changed the subject:
"The escort team is leaving today. Will Mr. Chu still wait with me?"
"Okay, remember to call me when you set off."
Time is precious and cannot be wasted.
After everything was sorted out, the escort team put away their sadness and started to set off. The originally bustling oasis now became quiet again.
It was in the middle of the day and the heat was unbearable.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, a figure faintly appeared in the desert east of the oasis. After a while, the figure got closer and closer, and gradually became clearer.
“Oasis, really an oasis!”
"Sanqing Daozu is so efficacious. I just subconsciously made a wish. I didn't expect to see the oasis. Now I am saved."
"No, no, no, it's not subconscious, it comes from the heart. Daozu is compassionate, please forgive the little girl's abruptness."
He put his hands together and prayed sincerely, then cheered and flew towards the oasis.
…
Yellow sand is flying and camel bells are ringing.
Unlike Mrs. Wei who had exotic beasts and horses to drive her, the main means of transportation for the escort team was still ordinary camels.
However, according to Chu Feng's observation, the beasts in this world generally have a trace of magical blood. Because of this, their appearances are slightly mutated, and their bodies are much stronger.
At this time, Chu Feng was riding on the back of a nightmare-suppressing horse. It felt that its back was extremely thick and it was very comfortable to sit on. Moreover, the nightmare-suppressing horse was worthy of being an intermediate beast, and its intelligence was stronger than that of ordinary beasts.
There are too many, and the owner's intentions can be understood very accurately.
This nightmare-suppressing horse was given to him personally by Mrs. Wei as a token of gratitude. As for the life-saving grace, he didn't know how to repay it for the time being.
"We are about to leave the desert, and then we will enter the realm of the human race. I wonder if Mr. Chu has any specific arrangements?" Liu Chengfeng approached and asked respectfully.
Through this period of communication, he already knew that the origin of Mr. Chu was mysterious and he was not from the Yunhuang country, so he asked this question. Everyone in his group owed the other party the grace of saving his life. If he could repay a favor, he would feel in his heart
It will also make you feel more at ease.
"I heard that the land in the far west has beautiful scenery and strange customs, so I just want to wander around. As for wherever I go, I feel free to do it." Chu Feng smiled slightly and said without caring at all.
"How... how can this be done?" Liu Chengfeng was speechless. This Mr. Chu was too free and easy. Could it be that Miss Zheng's death was such a shock that he lost interest in everything?
"Well, if Young Master Chu doesn't mind, you might as well still follow us. The headquarters of Yongfeng Escort Bureau is located in Baiyun City, which is the capital of Yunhuang Kingdom and is the most prosperous place. There are many interesting places."
"Okay, let's go to Baiyun City and have a look."
Chu Feng nodded, this was exactly one of his original plans.
I broke into this world out of nowhere, and I can't stay here forever. I have to find a way to leave. As for how to leave, I don't have a clue yet.
However, as Baiyun City is the capital of Yunhuang Kingdom, all aspects of information and resources are naturally not comparable to other places. You can find out something if you think about it.
During this period of time, through observation and research on Liu Chengfeng and his party, he had vaguely come to the conclusion that there are extraordinary forces in this world, which are somewhat similar to warriors, but the cultivation system is different.
Although these extraordinary beings are not high in level, they are still out of reach for ordinary mortals.
In this way, these extraordinary forces must hold the secrets of many worlds, which may be helpful for my departure.
"By the way, do you know how to leave this world?"
"Leave this world?"
Liu Chengfeng was extremely confused and didn't understand what the other party meant? The world is the world, can we leave it? Could it mean that after death, the soul goes to the underworld?
He couldn't help but think wildly. He thought that the other party's confidante had just died, and it was very possible that he was mentally unwell, so he asked such a ridiculous question.
"My condolences, Sir. Although Miss Zheng has gone, I don't want to see you so sad."
"Uh - yes." Chu Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and he understood instantly. The other party obviously didn't understand what he meant, or perhaps didn't have this knowledge at all.
Thinking of this, he stopped continuing this topic to avoid being misunderstood by the other party again.
"By the way, Mrs. Wei is also from Baiyun City. She will definitely be very happy if she knows that you want to go there together."
"Really?" Chu Feng paused and suddenly asked again,
"Tell me briefly about the situation in Baiyun City."
"Dare you disobey me..." Liu Chengfeng looked respectful, without any impatience, and immediately began to explain in detail.
This world is centered on the Desert of Despair, surrounded by dozens of countries of different sizes.
Among these countries, four have the widest territory and the strongest strength, each distributed in the four directions of the desert, southeast, northwest. The Yunhuang Kingdom, located in the far west, is one of them.
"There are thirty-six states in the Yunhuang Kingdom. Each state is vast and vast, with a population of tens of millions. In the far west, it exceeds the total of all its affiliated states."
"Baiyun City is located in Shuozhou, which is in the extreme west of Yunhuang. It is the front line against the Nightmare Clan."
"Nightmare Clan?" Chu Feng was slightly surprised. This was the first time he heard this term.
"Exactly." Liu Chengfeng nodded, his expression suddenly becoming extremely serious.
"The origins of the Nightmare tribe are mysterious. They exist in the four directions of southeast, northwest and southeast. They are wild, cruel and warlike, and are the public enemies of all mankind. There are dozens of countries on the continent, all headed by the four major countries, and they are at war with the Nightmare tribe all the year round.
Never stop."
"I think it must be very strong, right?"
"Yes and no." Liu Chengfeng paused and then explained,
"The Nightmare tribe lives in the wilderness where humans cannot survive. Their appearance is very similar to humans. Although their personal strength is very strong, it has its limits. However, its origin is a bit strange, as if it is endless and cannot be killed at all.
Therefore, it will cause headaches to all countries."
"Have you never looked for the reason?"
"Of course I have investigated it. For countless years, all the major countries have sent countless masters to the wilderness. Unfortunately, they are like evil beasts in the desert of despair. They can't even find their lair." Liu Chengfeng sighed and turned around.
And he said,
"Of course, the wilderness is endless, and no one knows where the end is. It may be in an area that has never been before."
"Desolate Territory, Nightmare Clan"
Chu Feng murmured in his mouth, there are more and more strange things in this world, and he doesn't know how to find a way to leave?
…
The final journey went smoothly without any danger.
Two days later, the team finally successfully reached the border of the desert.
Looking up into the distance, all we can see is a large expanse of yellow and green land, with a faint city sitting at the end. There are many figures swaying above the city, which seems to be a gathering place for human beings.
"That is Kuangsha City, a special city located at the junction of land and desert. It is also a commodity trading center. Its main target is merchants who venture to and from the Desert of Despair."
Liu Chengfeng explained with a smile on his face. Not only him, but also the members of the escort team around him were overjoyed and looked relieved. Obviously, the experience in the desert was frightening, and now they are really relieved.
"There is a branch of our Yongfeng Escort Agency in Kuangsha City. We will rest there for a few days and it won't be too late to set off again later."
As he said that, he turned to look at Chu Feng, obviously asking for his opinion.
"It's all up to you." Chu Feng didn't have any objections and replied directly.
Because of the life-saving grace, everyone's attitude towards him became extremely respectful. However, he did not intend to take advantage of the favor and point fingers, which would be self-defeating.
Sure enough, everyone was happy to hear that he had no objection.
Liu Chengfeng immediately shouted loudly:
"Everyone, speed up. When we get to the helm, relax and enjoy it. I, Old Liu, will pay for all the expenses tonight."
"Long live the chief escort——"
The crowd suddenly cheered, and the marching speed accelerated significantly. The team rushed towards Kuangsha City in a mighty manner.
