Xuan Ying looked around. Because the passersby were in a hurry and running away quickly, he held the small object in one arm, braced himself with the other, and listened to the sounds as he lay on the ground.
“Xuanming, there is the sound of horses’ hooves.”
Xuanming: "Run!"
Normally, they would not be afraid at all, but now...
They had families to support, and they were constantly eating and sleeping poorly, so where did they get the energy?
The two exchanged glances and followed the footsteps of the people, intending to find a secluded place, preferably an inn, to stay for the night.
Unexpectedly, it was too late.
"Hahaha...where do you think you're going?"
With each resounding thud of hooves, the savage barbarian tribe charged in...
————————
Qiu Yan's side had initially thought the desert trip would only last a few days.
However, things didn't go as planned.
They were gone for half a month.
In the desert,
The poor horses they brought were once again tormented by hunger and thirst.
They went out at sunrise and rested at sunset, their lives were relatively regular, but their lives were extremely impoverished.
This time, Qiu Yan prepared ample supplies.
But the water supply, let's just say, is never enough, no matter how much we bring.
Huyan Xun's side, however, seemed to be in a much better position than theirs.
They eat mutton.
Drink sheep's blood,
Looking directly at Qiu Yan and her two companions, along with the soldiers behind them, made them feel nauseous.
Because of the barbarians' brutal and disgusting scene, Qin Susu vomited countless times along the way.
Vera, on the camel, kept her eyes closed the whole way, repeating the word 'sin' over and over again.
He couldn't stand the killing of living beings.
This world is inherently unfair, and as a monk, he can only do his best to help some impoverished people.
He had no dealings with barbarians like Huyan Xun on this trip.
Aside from eating, sleeping, and traveling, he spent his time meditating and chanting scriptures.
"Xiaoyan, how much further is this damned desert?" Qin Susu walked through the desert, wearing the Western Region clothing that Mayi had given her, and a headscarf that Mayi had given her to protect her from the sand. At first glance, she looked exactly like a Western Region beauty.
To be precise, she was a beautiful woman from the Western Regions who had fallen on hard times.
In fact, she was so sweaty from wearing her own clothes that she didn't want to wear them anymore.
Qiu Yan: "I also want to know, it should be soon." She was dressed in Western Region attire because her clothes were dirty and she hadn't washed them.
These past few days, because the horses can no longer walk, they have had no carriages to ride in.
She and Ling Ba walked at the front, one step at a time, their steps uneven.
She was anxious.
"Almost there." Huyan Xun led his spirited horse, bringing it alongside Qiu Yan.
Afterwards, she personally handed him a cup of blood-red beverage.
"Qiu Yan, you look thirsty. Have a drink to quench your thirst."
Qiu Yan smelled the strong stench of blood and couldn't help but gag, covering her mouth.
She said, "Take it away quickly."
Even though she had received special training,
In her wilderness survival skills, she has eaten everything from wild boar, snakes, fish, birds, and insects to wildflowers, plants, and wild fruits, but she cannot tolerate drinking raw sheep's blood unless it is absolutely unbearable.
"Look at you, I thought you were fearless, but you've really never seen the world." Huyan Xun didn't think their drinks were that bad.
On the contrary, he liked the smell of blood.
However, Qiu Yan refused to drink it no matter what.
Finally, he drank it all in one gulp.
As they continued forward, Qiu Yan and the others finally emerged from the last stretch of desert near the northern desert.
