Text Chapter 3 The Red Dust (Part 3)

No more thinking, already out of the safe route, this place is indeed not suitable for long stay, Miao Yi observed the surroundings, quietly returned to the so-called safe area, while paying attention to whether there are fairy grass around.

It is unlikely that he will continue to go deep into the dangerous area to look for Zhao Xingwu everywhere, and he does not know whether Zhao Xingwu can leave alive.

When he finally sneaked back to the safe area, it was getting dark.

It was too dangerous to continue wandering here at night, even the road was not clear, plus the elusive monster.

More importantly, he ran too much and was very tired, so he had to find a place to rest. Looking around, he moved towards the rocky forest at the foot of a mountain.

He broke into it and found a small cave among the rocks. He was relieved. It was best to spend the night here, with the rocky forest outside to block him.

However, what he did not expect was that just as he entered the cave, a big hand suddenly appeared and grabbed his neck. Miao Yi subconsciously stabbed with a butcher knife to save himself, but the other party's reaction was unusual and suddenly grabbed his wrist.

The two people in the cave finally came face to face. After Miao Yi saw the other person's face clearly, his eyes flashed and he signaled the other person to let him go.

The other person was the big man with a curly beard from before. I didn't expect that he was hiding here.

"It's you?" The big man with a curly beard was a little startled. He frowned and slowly let go of Miao Yi. At the same time, he took the butcher knife from Miao Yi's hand. He seemed to be a little worried about Miao Yi. He was really worried that he would stab him in the back.

"Cough cough!" Miao Yi, whose face was flushed, covered his neck and coughed twice.

The big man with a curly beard quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice and shouted: "Don't make noise! ​​Is the monster still outside?"

It turned out that he ran into the monster again and hid here.

Miao Yi waved his hand, and when the other party let go of his hand, he panted and shook his head, saying, "I didn't see any monsters when I came here."

The bearded man stretched his head out of the cave to observe for a while, then retracted his head and stared at Miao Yi, frowning and said, "Boy, you are so ruthless at such a young age. Now that I think about it, it seems wrong. You didn't seem to be robbing things, but you wanted to get rid of those three boys as soon as possible. Boy, tell me the truth, do those three people really have magic grass?"

Miao Yi stared at the butcher knife that fell into the other party's hand, and thought about it. He didn't hide anything and told the general situation with reservations.

"Three damn idiots! I said that you are young, but you are not stupid at all when it comes to cheating people. I said... Bah! I am not that smart, and you also used me, and almost lost my life." The bearded man laughed at himself.

He looked back at the package on Miao Yi and asked, "I was so busy running that I lost all the food and drinks I had. Would you mind sharing some food with me?"

Miao Yi took off the package without saying a word, took out some dry food and water and gave them to him, saying, "Uncle, how about we take turns to rest and keep watch at night? If one person sleeps too deeply, it might not be safe in this ghost place."

He saw that the other party was a martial artist, and he was no match for him in a fight. He was also a little worried that the other party might have bad intentions, so he let the other party know that he was still useful.

The bearded man looked at him meaningfully, with a teasing smile on his lips. He said nothing, took the food and ate it. While eating, he looked outside the cave and muttered, "It's probably not that dark outside yet. It's foggy here, so it gets dark early."

The two chatted while eating. It turned out that the bearded man was named Yan Beihong. He was the military commander of a city with a population of one million. However, he got into trouble because he stole the city lord's concubine. In the end, all his family members were implicated. So he killed the city lord in anger and ran away.

It's not easy to be hunted everywhere. With no other options, he simply broke into the "Million Red Dust" to take a chance.

Yan Beihong was also surprised that Miao Yi came here to die at such a young age. Cooperation should show sincerity, and Miao Yi did not hide it from him.

That night, the two took turns to rest and keep watch as agreed.

After a pleasant night of cooperation, and Miao Yi's words yesterday led to a group of people robbing, Miao Yi deeply realized that even if he picked the fairy grass alone, it would be troublesome, so the next day Miao Yi took the initiative to ask Yan Beihong to form an alliance.

Yan Beihong neither agreed nor refused. After dawn, she threw the butcher knife back to Miao Yi and set off together.

With the previous experience of encountering the dark mantis, the two dared not run out of the safe route easily. It was not always possible to escape by luck, so they followed the safe route on the map honestly.

However, the situation seen along the way showed that the so-called safe route did not seem to be safe. Broken limbs could also be seen on the safe route.

From the traces of bloody corpses being cut or chewed directly, it was obvious that many people were attacked by dark mantises on the safe route.

The two even huddled behind a stone and witnessed a group of dark mantises crawling leisurely, which scared them to death.

The two of them vaguely discovered that although the Dark Mantis was bloodthirsty, it was not the type to kill them all. It would leave a way for people to survive. It seemed that the more timid people who ran away, the less likely they would let go.

The further they went, the more mountains collapsed, rivers changed their course, and the ground was riddled with holes. The situation of strong damage was beyond human control. It was frightening and hard to imagine what had happened here. Could it be that a great battle between immortals and demons really took place here?

The following encounter made Miao Yi glad that he was with Yan Beihong.

Although the Wanzhang Red Dust is home to Xinghua Immortal Grass, it doesn’t grow everywhere. The two walked deep into the Wanzhang Red Dust for a few days, but didn’t see a single Immortal Grass.

What’s more terrifying is that after escaping the attack of the Dark Mantis, they were threatened by the same kind.

The food Yan Beihong carried was lost when he fled. Miao Yi only brought ten days of dry food. No one would run around carrying a month’s worth of food, so his food could last for ten days for one person. If two people ate together, the remaining food would not last even five days.

The food shortage obviously also appeared in other people. Two people were surrounded by five people, forcing them to hand over the little food left.

Yan Beihong sneered, fearlessly, and drew his sword directly and rushed forward.

As expected of a person who had been the military commander of a city with a population of one million, he was fierce and almost drew blood with every strike. He fought one against five and killed five people.

After wiping the blood off his sword, Yan Beihong gathered the little food left from the five corpses and threw it to Miao Yi's back, giving them two more days of food.

However, the next day, Yan Beihong encountered someone who was better than him.
