Chapter 689 The Last Scout
Chapter 689 The Last Scout
It took the two of them a lot of effort to dig out dozens of small bones from the ashes. Ye Xiaochuan patted the small bag of bones and said, "Brother, you are lucky to meet me. If you die, I will collect your body and bring it back to Middle-earth. I don't know if I can get out of the desert. If I can't, my body will probably be buried under this sea of sand forever. There won't even be anyone to pay tribute to me during festivals. I feel pitiful just thinking about it."
Bai Liyuan was sitting next to him. He raised his long legs and kicked him, saying unhappily, "You This crow's mouth, I am with you now. If you die in the desert, doesn't that mean I will die in the desert too? I still have hundreds of years of good time waiting for me to squander and trample, I don't want to die so early. "
This kick is really not unfair. Ye Xiaochuan hummed and groaned and didn't say anything. He put the bag of calf bones into the Qiankun bag. After reuniting with Senior Brother Zhao Wuji, he would know whose leg bones these things belonged to. However, if it was not one person but two people who were eaten by Zhulong, this would be difficult to deal with. How about sharing half?
Now there are sand dunes all around, which look exactly the same. Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan are not in a hurry to look for Zhao Wuji and others aimlessly. They plan to look around after dawn.
When pushing Yang Shijiu and Ouyang Caiyu to Zhao Wuji, Ye Xiaochuan and Yang Shijiu said that if everyone was separated, they would meet in the abandoned earth city agreed in advance. The earth city must be within a radius of 200 miles. It is not difficult to find, but it will take some time.
After escaping death, the two of them were not sleepy and sat on the sand dunes chatting.
Baili Yuan was very surprised and asked: "Why did Zhulong appear here? Did we go the wrong way? We were close to the Savage Temple, so we were chased by Zhulong?"
Ye Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "I have thought about this question, but it seems unlikely. If the people of the Demon Cult find our traces, it will not be Zhulong who will appear, but dozens of Demon Cult masters. After all, Zhulong is a beast on land. Even if it attacks by surprise, it is impossible to kill all nine of us. As long as we fly into the air, Zhulong will have no way to deal with us. But in In the black sandstorm, we only encountered Zhulong, and no one was bitten by the demon sect. "
Bai Liyuan said: "So what you mean is that Zhulong passed by accidentally? He just happened to run into us, just like taking us as dessert after dinner?"
Ye Xiaochuan nodded and said: "Maybe. You also saw how Zhulong looked in the black sandstorm, like a fish in water. I even suspected that the black sandstorm was caused by this big snake."
The two Zhulongs who were talking were actually not far away from them, only a dozen miles away. Their huge bodies were coiled together, and they spit out huge red snake tongues from time to time.
At this moment, on the huge snake head of Zhulong, there was actually a person standing. It can be seen that it was a young woman with a protruding front and a curvy back, wearing black clothes and black gauze.
It was Miss Tianwen.
Tianwen stood on Zhulong's head so carelessly, but Zhulong seemed very docile and did not attack her.
Tianwen looked towards the direction where Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan were, looked for a long time, and saw that the sky was about to dawn. Suddenly, he jumped down from Zhulong's big head. Zhulong suddenly opened his bloody mouth, and Tianwen flew directly into Zhulong's mouth, as if he was not afraid at all.
After Zhulong swallowed Tianwen with his big mouth, the huge snake body began to wriggle, and the snake head first drilled into the sand, and then the body gradually submerged in the sea of sand.
Looking at the direction it was going away, it turned out to be the direction where Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan were.
The black sandstorm has passed this sea of sand and is moving towards the east. The further east it goes, the weaker the power of the black sandstorm will be. This black sandstorm will reach the outside of Yumen Pass in two days, and only wind and sand will be left at that time.
About 200 miles southwest of Ye Xiaochuan and the other two, Zhao Wuji and his group of five wandered aimlessly in the quiet desert. When they encountered Zhulong, Zhao Wuji led everyone to evacuate decisively, but they still lost three disciples. One died. Zhao Wuji saw with his own eyes that companion being bitten by the terrifying giant snake. Two others got separated in the storm, and now they are looking for this companion.
As for Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan, Zhao Wuji was not worried much. These two people were both Taoist masters, so there should be no danger.
Zhao Wuji was not too worried, but Yang Shijiu was very worried. She had met the monster head-on in the black sandstorm before. The monster was so powerful that it was unmatched in the world. The joint attack of herself and Ouyang Caiyu was like hitting a thick steel plate, and then the two were directly swept by a mysterious force, shaking them away and vomiting blood.
Facing that power, Yang Shijiu seemed to have a fearful mentality for the first time in her life. She was fearless, but now she was still frightened when she thought of that terrifying mysterious demonic power.
Looking at the clear night sky after the black sandstorm, Yang Shijiu said worriedly: "Sister Xiaoman, Senior Brother and Fairy Baili will not be in any danger, right? It's almost dawn, why hasn't Senior Brother come to join us yet?"
Chang Xiaoman shook her head and comforted: "Fairy Baili and Junior Brother Ye Xiaochuan are both very advanced people, nothing will happen. As for why we haven't found their traces yet, it's mainly because we can't tell the direction in the black sandstorm. Now we don't know where we are. I think Junior Brother Ye and the others are in the same situation. After dawn, we will definitely find them."
Yang Shijiu nodded silently and said in his heart: "I hope so."
There were only five people left in the team, namely Zhao Wuji, Chang Xiaoman, Yang Shijiu, Ouyang Caiyu, Shanxia Zhishu, Ye Xiaochuan and Baili Yuan, who were a hundred miles northeast of them. The other two were dead and one was missing. It was probably difficult to survive in the black sandstorm, but Zhao Wuji and others did not give up and continued to search in the direction of the storm.
At the same time, another team of dozens of people also appeared at the edge of the bottom of the Jinsha Valley. There were about thirty people, two types of people, a group of monks and a group of fairies.
A closer look showed that they were the female disciples of Piaomiao Pavilion and the Buddhist disciples of Jiaye Temple.
This was the last group of righteous elite disciples who were responsible for exploring the way from the north. The leaders were naturally Yang Linger, the saint of Piaomiao Pavilion, and Jiekong, the Zen master of Jiaye Temple.
This group of people was very embarrassed. It was obvious that they had just been attacked by the black sandstorm. Everyone was covered with sand. A dozen female disciples of Piaomiao Pavilion could shake off half a pound of sand by shaking their long hair a few times.
Yang Linger's veil had long been blown away by the strong wind. Now she took out a new veil and put it on. The first thing she did was to shake off the annoying sand on her body.
Anyway, there were monks and junior sisters around her. Except for Jie Se's thieving eyes that were glancing at her group of female disciples, the other senior monks in Jiaye Temple were basically people with firm Buddhist faith.
