Chapter 108 Desert Thief

The Western Continent, the former Falcon Kingdom.

The yellow sand in the sky is all over the world, and there are yellow dust and sand scattered in the wind everywhere. This is a dry and hot world.

The sun scorched the crystal grains of sand, scalding hot. At this noon, a group of camels were walking on the hills and heading into the distance.

They accurately calculated the required distance, and finally arrived at an oasis in the desert to rest before dark.

It is a sheltered place, surrounded by hills full of yellow sand, and a crescent-shaped lake falls in it. The lake is so clear that it looks like a mirror under the scorching sun.

Compared with the silence during the day, it will become lively here before night. Many residents or travelers walked out of tents and adobe houses, and everyone gathered in the market, trading goods and exchanging information.

These caravans from far away carried goods from all over the world, stacked together, illuminated by torches, reflecting alluring colors of light.

Among them are sugar cubes, wheat grains, utensils and the like from Crancia, fur blankets and bacon jerky from the Gufia steppe, exquisite crossbows, machetes, alchemy creations from the south, and Exotic wines, special preserved fruits, ornate silks, etc. shipped from overseas.

Although the desert is barren, in the hinterland of the Falcon after crossing the desert, there are some metals and gems rich in the mountain cliffs. If you switch to the outside world, it will be invaluable.

But the busiest place in this oasis today is not the stalls selling goods, but a towering tent. There are bunting flags hung with strings outside the tent, and there is a burst of music of small drums and strings, which is tempting to go.

"Tickets are 10 silver coins per person, everyone line up, don't crowd." A thin man with a bald head held a loudspeaker and shouted loudly, and in front of him was a group of guests waiting to enter.

"It's so popular?" A traveler who had just arrived here asked in surprise, looking at his clothes, he should have come from the north.

"Haha, you just didn't understand this. That's the famous Fenghua Opera Troupe." A slightly dark-skinned companion put his arms around his shoulders and pointed to the metal flower swirling in the wind on the top of the tent.

"The former Cangzhi singer came from this troupe." He raised his arms and greeted an acquaintance in the distance.

"It won't disappoint you anyway, how about it, let's go and have a look."

"Okay, let's go take a look." The traveler agreed after a little hesitation, so the two of them joined the crowd.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the dressing room inside the giant tent is somewhat quiet at the moment.

The candle light burned quietly, and a beautiful girl was slowly applying eye shadow. She has light brown smooth skin, and the clothes on her body are also very cool, except for the purple gauze skirt in key parts, and the copper bells on her wrists and ankles.

"Are you ready, Ling Xin, the performance is about to start." A blond girl with a single ponytail walked in. She was wearing a black men's dress with a white silk scarf tied in front of her collar.

"Okay, Langley." The girl nodded, then put on the veil and sapphire brow, and walked out of the dressing room.

At night, with brisk drum beats, melodious music was released from the copper box beside, and a performance was being played in the giant tent.

A flexible girl danced lightly on the stage, her cocoa-colored skin was shattered by the firelight, and the copper bells on her ankles and wrists made fine sounds along with the unrestrained dance steps.

Between the slender arms, several copper rings flexibly rotate, constantly shifting back and forth between the arms, slender waist, and ankles, and sometimes they are thrown into the air, and then the body is flexibly turned on the stage, caught with the ankles, and continues to be thrown.

Watching the beautiful and energetic dance, the audience below made bursts of enthusiastic shouts from time to time, their eyes seemed to be fascinated, and they moved with the figure of the girl.

In this passionate dance, the girl is as dazzling as the sun, and the pair of smart eyes on her veil are like the most magnificent gems in the world, attracting people to fall.

After a long time, as the performance drew to a close, there was also a little sweat on the girl's forehead, which was reflected in the candlelight, and the audience below had already turned into a sea of ​​joy, colorful ribbons swaying in her hands, twisting her body with the beat.

In the middle of the night, after the performance, the guests walked out of the huge tent like a football field slowly and sparsely, and slowly returned to their residences to rest.

"Wow, Ling Xin, we've made a fortune. We've made a fortune~"

Lan Lier sat in the hill of gold and silver coins, cheering loudly, there seemed to be little stars in her pupils.

"Okay, come down quickly, you're not tired after standing all night." Ling Xin was sitting on a wooden chair with a cup of warm milk tea to rest.

"Also, we have to pay the salaries to the rest of the troupe. After all, everyone has contributed a lot."

"Yeah, I know. But looking at such a large sum of money, I'm still very happy." Lan Li hugged Ling Xin and rubbed it.

After the two talked for a while, Ling Xin and Lan Li packed up and went to sleep.

In a camp in the oasis, the three of them were whispering in the dark.

"That opera troupe made a lot of money tonight, why don't we..." One of them suggested in a low voice, with a black cloth covering his head, his narrow pupils were full of greed.

"Hehe, it's really a good goal, and that girl, tsk tsk, is really superb." The other licked his lips, and his heart was full of desire.

"However, it is not easy to do it here. Bi Guan's strength is not small, and it is not easy to take it away in the follow-up." The last one should be more cautious.

"I know, so we have to send people to keep up, it's better to take a shot halfway and intercept people and goods

down. "

"Hmm, but I heard that this opera troupe is quite famous... Will there be enough of us?"

"What's not enough, I can't go to the boss for support."

"But the boss is here, that beauty, I'm afraid we can't enjoy it..." The other was rather reluctant.

"Hehe, looking at your promising future, I can't bear it. Where is this going? Let's get it first and then talk about it."

"Well... that's the only way to do it, but let's try it out first. If you can't call it the boss, don't call it the boss."

After that, the voices of several people gradually died out, and then the tent was quiet.

Three days later, the team of Fenghua Opera Troupe set off again and entered this vast desert.

After walking through the desert for a day, the team came to the bottom of a tall hill.

Before the team could move on, three figures on horseback appeared on the hill.

First there were three figures with their faces covered in black cloth, then a dozen or so cavalry came out, and then dozens of cavalry came out, and finally a team of nearly 100 masks stood on the hill.

A whistle sounded, the team rushed down, and the speed was immediately accelerated to the extreme.

Looking at the group of riders holding machetes, the opera troupe burst into exclamations, and many camels and horses were frightened and ran around.

Seeing this, the voices of this group of people grew louder, and they made various mocking whistles.

Seeing this, everyone in the opera troupe gave up the cargo and went to the rear to avoid being killed by these robbers.

"Hahaha, a bunch of cowards! It's a shame that I have prepared so many people."

But just as Qixing was on his head, a crisp sound burst out, and then a blood flower appeared on his chest.

Looking at the unstoppable blood in front of him in disbelief, he fell unwillingly and fell into the sand.

"They have guns!" An exclamation sounded among the robbers, and many of them began to hesitate.

"Of course, I'm a famous alchemist, so it's normal to carry a gun with me."

Sitting in the hood of the carriage, Lang Li set up a wooden butt, aimed at one of the enemies, and pulled the trigger again. Then, the smoke of gunfire burst out, and another bullet shot out, piercing through the enemy. She then pulled the bolt, ejected the cartridge case, and pressed another bullet into the chamber.

"Chasing, it's just a gun, what are you afraid of?" One of them looked at the carriage that was constantly on fire, ruthless in his heart, and gave his life again.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, bringing bursts of smoke and dust towards the team in the desert.

Gunshots sounded from time to time, and blood flowers bloomed among the robbers, and then they shot them to the ground.

But such an attack did not last long. After the group paid 4 casualties, they rushed to the remaining convoy.

"Ah, it would be nice if it could be reloaded faster." Lan Li looked at the approaching enemy, sighed, then grabbed the gun, turned over, and after another shot, jumped to the side. On the horse, run away.

"Chase! Catch her, I'll educate her tonight!" After seeing Lan Li'er's appearance, the remaining leader showed greedy eyes.

"Then I have to thank you, Uncle." Lan Li'er rode her horse and looked at the robbers who were catching up with her. There was no fear on her face, but she continued to reload the ammunition.

She clamped the horse between her legs, turned her body again, and another bullet was fired, penetrating one of the thieves.

The copper-shelled bullets were pulled from the bolt from time to time, bounced and landed in the desert. Then Lan Lier touched the magazine in her thigh, took out bullets that she had polished, pressed them into the barrel, and kept firing. .

The pursuit lasted for several minutes, and more than a dozen people were shot by Lan Lier, but the rest were also cunning.

From time to time, they would crouch down and hide by the horse's side, and at the same time the crowd spread out, making it difficult for Lan Lier to hit.

"It's troublesome now." Lan Lier was not worried that she would miss the shot, but that the bullets she was carrying were running out.

But at this time, her support also arrived, a phantom streamer streaked across the desert, and then, blood flowers floated among the robbers.

"Wow, Ling Xin has finally come to save me." Lan Lier shouted happily after seeing the group of robbers being quickly knocked down by Ling Xin.

When he was in the academy, Ling Xin was known as the speed of the west. Although the world has changed, but his strength has returned to the fifth rank, it is more than enough to deal with these bandits of Sequence 2-3.

As for Lan Li'er, she is currently only Sequence 4. Needless to say, she was naturally distracted by Crancia's new technology and did not devote her full attention to her practice.

However, because of this, a lot of new alchemy tools have been created, and the musket in her hand is the product of her own improvement.

"Well, it took a little time to bring everyone to a safe place." Ling Xin simply replied, and continued to fight.

chirp————

The sound of swords clashing in the desert, these thieves could not beat the bell, and some of them still blew their special whistle.

And not long after, a black figure also appeared on the hill. He did not cover his face, holding a long machete in his hand, and swooped down with the war horse. Although there is only one person, it is like a tsunami.

The light of the knife was piercing, reflecting a dazzling white light in the sun. This figure arrived in an instant, the long knife slashed the copper ring of the heart of the bell, and then quickly fought with him in the desert.
